    Chris Eubank Jr issues chilling warning to Conor Benn as Eddie Hearn set to finalise grudge match ‘this week’

    CHRIS EUBANK JR has sent a chilling warning Conor Benn’s way as their historic showdown edges closer to being re-booked.The duo were due to throw down in an iconic family grudge match last October before a pair of failed drug tests for Benn scuppered the mouthwatering showdown.

    Negotiations over the Battle of Britain resumed after Benn made a short-notice and successful return to the ring against Rodolfo Orzoco in September.
    SunSport understands talks are close to bearing fruit, with a spring punch-up on the brink of being finalised.
    And after getting wind of some social media trash talk from Benn – the son of British boxing great Nigel Benn – Eubank Jr issued the welterweight contender a blunt warning.
    He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “DEAD MAN WALKING.”

    The jibe from Eubank Jr – the son of former WBO super-middleweight champion Chris Eubank Sr – was in response to Benn vowing to become only the second man to stop Next Gen.
    He wrote: “I can’t wait to punch you in the head @ChrisEubankJr.”
    The mouthwatering domestic dust-up between Eubank Jr and Benn fell by the wayside after the latter tested positive for the banned fertility drug clomiphene – which can elevate testosterone levels in men.
    Benn was cleared of intentionally ingesting the prohibited substance by the National Anti-Doping Panel but both UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control appealed the decision.

    The appeal is still ongoing and the date of when the outcome will be revealed is still unknown.
    Benn is, technically, not prohibited from boxing in the UK – despite ripping up his BBBOFC license shortly after the doping saga began.
    That has prompted promoter Eddie Hearn to press on with plans to re-book his clash with Eubank Jr.
    February 3 is the working date for the fight, which The Daily Mail claims will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
    And the undefeated Benn appeared to confirm that is indeed the date for the biggest fight of his career in his ongoing social media spat with Eubank Jr.
    In response to Eubank Jr’s “dead man” tweet, The Destroyer wrote: “I’ll remind you of this when you are being scraped up off the f***ing canvas.
    “Feb 3, I’m ending your career.” More

    Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk at risk of being ‘PUSHED BACK’ again, says ex-world champ who slammed Brit’s Ngannou fight

    TYSON FURY’S long-overdue showdown with Oleksandr Usyk is at risk of being “PUSHED BACK” again, it’s been claimed.Fury and Usyk, 35 and 36 respectively, were initially set to throw down for all the heavyweight marbles in April but failed to finalise a suitable agreement for both parties.

    The duo were then on course to duke it out a multi-million-pound Saudi showdown on December 23 before Team Fury pulled the plug after his horror show against former UFC champ Francis Ngannou last month.
    February 17 is the new date for their long-awaited Riyadh Rumble, which Carl Froch reckons may get delayed until March if Fury enjoys himself too much over the upcoming festive period.
    The former unified super-middleweight champion said on his YouTube channel: “He’s got a bit of timber on him, a bit of derby that he needs to reign in before the fight.
    “I think it’s gonna be a tough one for Tyson to have a good Christmas and New Year, relax, and let his bald head down over Christmas and New Year.

    “He’s got a wonderful family, we’ve seen on Netflix. He’s got a big family, his wife and seven children.
    “So he’s gonna want to relax and have a good time.
    “Is he going to want to be training over Christmas and New Year, which he’s going to have to do, if he’s going to be ready for the February event?
    “I’m not so sure, I’ve got a feeling that fight might get pushed back until March. You heard it here first.”

    TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT
    Froch, like many boxing fans, is hoping Fury doesn’t enjoy too many extra helpings this holiday season and is fighting fit for the historic showdown.
    The Cobra continued: “Hopefully it does happen in February.
    “The Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk fight for the unification – for the heavyweight undisputed unification fight – has to happen.
    “I’m optimistic it will, I’ve just got my reservations that it’s going to happen in February.”

    Froch was one of several vocal critics of Fury’s controversial crossover clash with Ngannou and, like many others, believes he was lucky to have been awarded a split-decision victory.
    During an appearance on talkSPORT, he said: “You’ve got Ngannou getting in the ring last night against Fury and we’re thinking he’s making his pro debut but Fury’s the best heavyweight in the world.
    “So he’s got no chance, but actually Ngannou was in the fight counterpunching, looking for the jab, he landed that left hook in round three and did he make a mockery of the current heavyweight champion?
    “What did Fury do wrong? Fury may have been ill-prepared but he was still behind his jab, still throwing plenty of feints.

    “But Ngannou was very, very good, I thought. Exceptionally good for a debutant and I didn’t score the fight.
    “I certainly watched it, didn’t score it but you get a feel for who you think’s won the fight and with that knockdown in round three I just think Ngannou’s won that fight.”

    Conor McGregor was smart not to fight me… I would have destroyed him and he’s a QUITTER, says bitter sparring rival

    PAULIE MALIGNAGGI has issued another stinging attack on bitter sparring rival Conor McGregor. The former boxing world champion entered McGregor’s training camp in 2017 before his crossover bout with Floyd Mayweather.

    They sparred twice in the UFC’s Las Vegas base, over eight and then 12 rounds.
    And it was the second of session that is remembered infamously, as images and footage of the spar leaked.
    It included a disputed knockdown of Malignaggi, which caused the American to storm out the camp.
    The two have continued to feud ever since and now Malignaggi has claimed McGregor was wise not to accept a grudge match with him.

    He told Action Network: “I’m a better trash talker than McGregor, that’s one of the reasons he did not fight me. I would have trashed him in the press conferences and the fight.
    “It would have ended all of the hysteria around him because I would have destroyed him in the trash talking and in the ring.
    “I would have ruined the whole aura around him. He was smart not to pull the trigger on a fight with me.”
    Malignaggi, 43, always insisted he was pushed to the ground by McGregor, who went on to lose in ten rounds to Mayweather.

    It has kept the feud alive but a boxing bout slipped away with McGregor remaining in the UFC octagon.
    Although Malignaggi said the 35-year-old is now a “punching bag” and compared his career to heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua.
    He said: “McGregor was lucky to achieve what he achieved in his career, physically and talent wise he’s up there, but just because you can do a bunch of high kicks from a Jean Claude Van Dam movie, doesn’t mean you’re a fighter; you need guts, you need a willingness to succeed, you need a willingness to enter the trenches and if you don’t have that, you’re going to fade.
    ‘We’ve talked about AJ losing that edge, but McGregor is on a different level. McGregor will quit on you, he does quit.
    “AJ does not take as many risks anymore but at least he’s not quitting. McGregor is an outright quitter.
    “He is a fighter that was not as good as advertised, there was great marketing behind him.
    “And the money he’s made now isn’t helping, so you’ve got a problem – all he’s going to do is continue to be a punching bag.
    “If you’re a punching bag in your twenties, you’ll definitely be a punching bag in your thirties.”

    Katie Taylor faces losing world title belt just days after becoming undisputed two-weight champion

    KATIE TAYLOR faces losing one of her world titles just days after becoming a two-weight undisputed champion. Taylor overcame the odds be avenging her May loss to Chantelle Cameron with a redemption job in their rematch.
    Katie Taylor is faced with losing a WBO titleCredit: Sportsfile
    It saw the two-time Olympian rip all four super-lightweight titles from Cameron inside a raucous 3Arena in Dublin.
    Taylor already came into the bout as the undisputed lightweight queen and now holds all the belts across the two divisions.
    But that causes a problem with the WBO, who only allow champions to reign over one division with their belt at a single time.
    And they warned she must choose whether to keep her 135lb or 140lb straps.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    A statement read: “If Katie Taylor wins the bout against Cameron, she has up to 10 days thereafter to determine which weight division she will retain.
    “Failure to comply with such conditions will result in the Committee proceeding per WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests.
    “Consequently, in light of the foregoing, Katie Taylor must decide within the timeframe provided in the referenced provision which weight division she will retain, either the Lightweight or Jr. Welterweight division.”
    Taylor was hit with the same dilemma in 2019 when she beat Christina Linardatou for the 140lb title.

    She later vacated the belt.
    Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed Taylor’s two likely next fights are a trilogy with Cameron, 32, or a rematch with Amanda Serrano.
    Taylor, 37, beat Serrano, 35, in their 2022 thriller to retain her undisputed lightweight throne.
    If the two are to rematch, the Irish legend would likely opt to keep her 135lb WBO title.
    But with Hearn teasing a trilogy with Cameron at Ireland’s 82,000-seater Croke Park, keeping the 140lb version seems more realistic.
