Ryan Taylor landed the blow on rival ‘DK Money’

The likes of Anthony Joshua and Derek Chisora were in attendance but even Del Boy would have been shocked with what happened next.
A grudge match between Britain’s Ryan Taylor and American Instagram personality ‘DK Money’ ended in carnage.
Just moments into the bout, Taylor grappled with DK Money and then proceeded to brutally headbutt his rival.
DK Money was left floored while Taylor was sent to his corner, with fans and commentators alike stunned.
Taylor was instantly disqualified in disgrace and rushed out of the arena as the fight was slammed online.
Even Joe Weller – providing commentary – admitted AJ must be ’embarrassed’ to have watched that.

LEGENDARY promoter Bob Arum admitted Josh Taylor was ‘terrible’ against Jack Catterall – but still believes he won. Taylor himself admitted he was not at the races when he defended his undisputed light-welterweight crown in a Scottish homecoming.

But unlike his and promoter Arum’s verdict, the boxing public disagreed and felt Catterall, 28, was robbed of the four world titles.
Taylor, 31, secured his status as unified king by beating Jose Ramirez, 29, last May – a performance he failed to replicate in Glasgow.
Arum told BoxingScene: “He was terrible.
“It’s the worst I’ve seen him perform, and I’ve watched most of his fights over the last couple of years.
“He certainly didn’t look like the guy who beat Ramirez.”
The split-decision verdict has been officially investigated by the British Boxing Board of Control following the uproar.

But 90-year-old Hall of Famer Arum – in his EIGHTH decade of the sport – backed the controversial result.
He said: “I don’t think it was a very good fight. I don’t know what people are talking about.
“I had Taylor winning by maybe a couple points.”
Sadly for Catterall, Taylor appears ready to move up to welterweight, denying a rematch for the 140lb titles.
Arum said: “I talked to him. We’re gonna evaluate him with a nutritionist and determine what he should do.
“So, again, emotionally he said [he must move up]. And he said he had a nutritionist for this fight, but who knows how qualified the nutritionist was?
“And we’ll get into that in the weeks ahead.”

CONOR BENN claimed Kell Brook has demanded £10MILLION to fight – as he ruled out a summer blockbuster between the two. Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he sent a ‘significant offer’ to Brook as he eyed a June all-English showdown.

But the son of British boxing legend Nigel looks to have shot down the fight – at least for now.
Benn, 25, said on Instagram: “Fight news should be dropping soon, very soon. And it ain’t Kell Brook because ten mil’s out of the equation.”
Brook, 35, finally ended his near-two decade rivalry with Amir Khan, also 35, with a six-round domination in February.
It has seen his stock rise once more, with middleweight Chris Eubank Jr, 32, also calling him out for a grudge match.
But Khan does have a rematch clause in his contract, which Hearn suggested the former champion is looking to invoke.
It would mean any opponent wanting to fight Brook would need to pay Khan a fee to forfeit his right to an immediate rematch.

Hearn told iFL TV: “I’ve heard actually that Amir Khan is gonna invoke the rematch clause, bizarrely.
“People have been contacting us and saying, ‘Would you like to pay us step aside to not invoke the rematch clause?’
“So, no, you’re alright, thanks. You go and do Khan-Brook 2 and we’ll crack on.”
Benn is instead set to return on April 16 with South African Chris van Heerden, 34, in talks as the opponent.
Hearn has urged the rising welterweight prospect to remain patient, with super-fights sure to come.
He said: “I’ve said to Conor Benn the other day, ‘You, my friend, are a young superstar.
“Don’t worry about basing your career around someone else, don’t worry about waiting, trying to land this payday.
Fight news should be dropping soon, very soon. And it ain’t Kell Brook because ten mil’s out of the equation.Conor Benn
“Everything’s gonna come for you.’ So we crack on with our career, his next fight will be announced for April 16th and we’ll be ready for a huge show for Conor Benn.”
Hearn also said he offered Brook more than he made to fight Khan – but was countered with triple the initial sum.
The promoter claimed: “I basically offered more than they got to fight Amir Khan, and that’s the bigger fight — well maybe — to fight Conor Benn.
“So, look, they asked for over three times what I offered them.
“So for me it said, ‘We don’t really want to fight again but if someone pays us mad money we’ll consider it.’
“But we can’t wait around for Kell Brook, we’re just gonna get on and like I said, we’ll carry on talking.
“Hopefully we can get that fight made but right now just focus on the career of Conor Benn and keep him moving the right direction.”

YOUTUBE star Deji wants to rematch Jake Paul – but vowed to first turn professional and ‘smack up’ some UFC fighters. The Londoner – famously known as the brother to KSI – boxed American Paul in a 2018 exhibition.

It ended in defeat for Deji, 25, and when he returned to the ring last June, he was beaten in a similar celebrity bout against TikToker Vinnie Hacker, 19.
The former gamer is braced to make his boxing comeback against rival Alex Wassabi, 31, and wants to earn a shot at revenge against Paul, 25.
He told iFL TV: “One hundred per cent, but I need to have a few more fights on my portfolio, because he’s not going to accept me straight away.
“And I also need to go pro as well. And I need to smack up a few UFC fighters too.”
Despite Deji struggling to get his boxing career back on track, Paul has gone from strength to strength.
He is currently 5-0, beating online rival ‘AsEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, retired MMA fighter Ben Askren, 37, and ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, twice.

At one point Paul was lined up to face KSI, 28, after the Brit drew against his brother Logan, 26, but won their rematch a year later.
But the rapper has since become a worldwide recording artist – shelving any plans to fight again.
Deji has not ruled out KSI returning to finally face Paul, but fears his other career avenues could stand in the way of the grudge match.
He said: “I would love him to but right now he’s killing it in literally every department.
“So, he’s a busy guy, he doesn’t need boxing. He kind of just did it, but he doesn’t really need it.
“I would love it if he did get back into boxing – you never know – he could because he’s full of surprises. Anything’s possible.”
