Copy linkCopiedJonas vs Price R9Jonas takes a tumble early, but it is quickly waived away as a knockdown, clearly just losing her footing in the corner. Natasha Price is warned about shots to the back of the head – no need for her to go overboard, she could win this by jabbing until the bell.Jonas barely through a punch in that round, Price throwing after the bell but is quickly apologetic. One round to go, Jonas needs to put Price down without her getting up or Price will walk away unified champion.

Watching her fights previously with the team, that’s what she does. Charges in, head down and swings. She did exactly what I expected.”I feel like I need to learn how to fight on the inside. It’s one thing doing it in sparring, but it’s another thing doing it in the ring. The crowd, the lights, the judges, it’s important to master that.

    Netflix ‘aggressively’ targeting huge fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua after Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson success

    THE long-overdue Battle of Britain between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could end up on Netflix, if The Gypsy King comes out of retirement.Fury seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the domestic dust-up in January when he announced his fifth retirement, which came on the back of consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk.Tyson Fury announced his fifth retirement from boxing shortly after back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr UsykCredit: GETTYHis retirement has seemingly closed the door on a showdown with Anthony JoshuaCredit: REUTERSSaudi bigwig Turki Alalshikh is keen to make the fight and will likely make Fury an offer he can’t refuseCredit: PANetflix are keen on obtaining the broadcast rights for the historic showdownCredit: REXSaud boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh, however, is expected to dangle a gargantuan purse in front of the Wythenshawe warrior to coax him out of retirement.And if he’s successful, Netflix will make a play to land the broadcast rights for the mammoth melee.That’s according to Sports Illustrated, who claim the streaming platform is “aggressively moving into boxing’s big event space” and is eager to land Fury vs Joshua.Netflix dipped their toes into the boxing world last November for Mike Tyson’s controversial comeback fight against Jake Paul.READ MORE BOXING NEWSAnd they’ve landed the rights for the eagerly anticipated trilogy fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on July 11.Netflix could part-fund Alalshikh’s financial proposal to Fury in order to land the biggest fight in the history of British boxing.It will likely take a jaw-dropping figure to convince Fury to lace up his gloves again.The former WBC heavyweight champion is seemingly content with his latest retirement, with Andy Lee recently saying of his recent chats with his cousin: “He seems very happy.Most read in BoxingJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS”[He said], ‘Andy I’m not f****d.’ That’s what he said. ‘I couldn’t be f****d. with it.’ He’s very happy.”AJ, however, refusing to give up hope of settling his decade-long score with Fury, telling IFL TV: “I feel like it’s the best fight [for me].Anthony Joshua gives cryptic update over future amid Tyson Fury fight talk in interview at Beterbiev vs Bivol 2″People might say [Joseph] Parker, people might say – I don’t know.”But I think Fury, commercially, is a great fight and it’s a great man’s fight as well. So I think it makes sense.”You could say it’s been years in the making. But listen, the heavyweight division has been thriving.”And why I say it’s probably still a great fight is as I said Parker is, for me, a great story of someone that never gives up.”And the thing is, there is going to be one winner and one loser. “And there’s going to be bloodshed. And it ain’t gonna be mine.” More

Virgo’s next fight is against Ty Mitchell – Tyson Fury’s former sparring partner – on April 12 in Leeds.

    British Boxing card hit by ‘uncalibrated’ scales storm as furious trainer BOYCOTTS weigh-in after interrupting presenter

    TRAINER Joe Gallagher threatened to BOYCOTT the weigh-in before his fighter’s world title bout due to “uncalibrated” scales. Natasha Jonas – coached by Gallagher – faces Wales’ Lauren Price for the unified 147lb welterweight world titles tonight at the Royal Albert Hall.Joe Gallagher said the scales were not calibrated correctlyCredit: ReutersHe was ready to boycott the weigh-insCredit: PABut drama unfolded when Gallagher claimed the official scales used at the weigh-in one day before fight night had not been correctly calibrated – meaning it could produce incorrect results. He interrupted Sky Sports’ MC and said: “No, there’s no weigh-in until these scales have had calibration.”I need to a see a certificate of calibration on these scales.
