      Canelo’s three-fight plan with P4P star set for Gennady Golovkin trilogy and cruiserweight title after Dmitry Bivol bout

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ is set for three fights in 2022 – which includes two title challenges and a bitter trilogy bout. The Mexican superstar became undisputed super-middleweight king last year after four fights in just 11 months.

      Canelo, 31, has since signed to face Dmitry Bivol, also 31, on May 7 in Las Vegas for the WBA light-heavyweight title.
      He won the WBO version against Sergey Kovalev, 38, in 2019 but soon vacated the belt to move back down.
      Canelo will now be handed the opportunity to become a two-time champ at light-heavyweight having penned a two-fight deal with DAZN.
      The second part of the contract includes a return in September with old rival Gennady Golovkin the targeted opponent.
      Canelo was fortunate to walk away with a draw in their initial 2017 fight but won the rematch by razor thin decision a year later.
      A trilogy bout failed to materialise but promoter Eddie Hearn has lined the two up for a showdown later this year.

      Golovkin, 39, has to first beat Ryota Murata, 36, in their middleweight unification on April 9 in Japan.
      Hearn told iFL TV: “If those two win. They will meet each other in September.”
      Canelo has predicted he will KO Golovkin and end their rivalry in style.
      He said: “That’s what I feel. First things first, I need to win this fight. I win this fight, and then we can talk about it.
      “But that’s what I feel with that fight.”

      After Canelo beat Caleb Plant, 29, in November to complete supremacy at 168lb, he requested to fight for the WBC cruiserweight title.
      His challenge was accepted by the WBC and Illunga Makabu, 34, who would weigh TWO STONE more.
      The move up in division eventually fell through, but Canelo’s trainer and manager Eddy Reynoso eyes the historic fight in December.
      He said: “It could be Makabu because he’s the WBC champion.
      “Whatever happens in these first two fights, we’ll decide in December. We got a disciplined fighter, a strong fighter.
      “Those are the only champions that can go up and down divisions.”

      And now in a video shared to his Instagram account, Tyson is seen handling a docile white bird.
      Iron Mike shows the pigeon off to the camera before leaning in and smacking a kiss right on the animal’s beak.
      But the company of just one pigeon wasn’t enough for animal lover Tyson.
      The self proclaimed ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ then moved inside and was joined by a whole flock of them.
      He smiled and chuckled as he milled around amongst the pigeons, moving his arm to send them flying around the room in front of him.
      Tyson is no stranger to showing off his feathered friends to fans online.

      Back in 2020 he posted a video of himself relaxing and feeding his pets ahead of his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr.
      He has always had a love for pigeons, and revealed that it was the honour of one that drew his first punch as a ten-year-old.
      He said in the past: “The guy ripped the head off my pigeon. This was the first thing I ever loved in my life, the pigeon.
      “That was the first time I threw a punch.
      “I have loved pigeons since I was nine. They were my escape.
      “I was fat and ugly. Kids teased me all the time. The only joy I had was pigeons.”

      Tyson Fury claims he would weigh career-heaviest 21 STONE in crossover fight with UFC champ Francis Ngannou

      by

      TYSON FURY claimed he would weigh a career-heaviest 21 STONE against UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou. The champions of boxing and the UFC respectively have gone back and forth for the past few years, fuelling talk of a crossover fight.

      Fury recently mapped out a plan to retire after his title defence to Dillian Whyte on April 23, but it would not affect a ‘special fight’ with Ngannou.
      And the Gypsy King would pile on the pounds for a bout under boxing rules but in a cage with the smaller 4oz gloves on.
      Fury said on the MMA Hour: “We’ve got Francis Ngannou, he’s a big guy, a big dangerous guy.
      “I’d love to see, people going on, ‘Oh, it’s not a fair fight in 10oz gloves,’ and that’s correct.
      “It wouldn’t be a fair fight in 10oz gloves because like [Daniel] Cormier said recently, he said Francis Ngannou is a much cruder version of Deontay Wilder, and we all know what happened there.
      “So I think if we’re doing four-ounce gloves, he’d have a bit more chance of knocking me out, but then again, I’d have a bit more chance of knocking him out also.

      “So it makes for an exciting fight. And I will try to come in at my heaviest for that fight.
      “I’ll try to come in over 300 pounds – just to nail him to the canvas with one solid punch.”
      Fury, 33, has called to fight Ngannou, 35, in Las Vegas next year but first returns to the UK in a homecoming at Wembley Stadium.
      He had promised to win the undisputed crown after the Whyte fight – only to backtrack and say he will retire after his mandatory defence against Whyte, 33.
      But even if he does hang up his boxing gloves, Fury will make an exception to face Ngannou.
      He said: “I don’t count that as a real boxing fight.
      “That’s not a boxing fight. That’s gonna be a ‘special’ fight. That will be in a cage in 4oz gloves, in Las Vegas, at the Raiders Stadium.
      “I will have retired from competitive, championship boxing and I’ll be ready to do the crossover fights completely.”

      Eddie Hearn would be ‘absolutely astonished’ if Tyson Fury’s fight with Dillian Whyte has no British judges

      by

      EDDIE HEARN would be left ‘absolutely astonished’ if Tyson Fury’s fight with Dillian Whyte has no British judges. It comes after Fury and his promoter Frank Warren called for NO home officials to score the heavyweight title fight on April 23 at Wembley.

      The two were left shocked after Jack Catterall, 38, was controversially beaten by Josh Taylor, 31, in Scotland via a questionable split-decision verdict.
      But Hearn has admitted the British Boxing Board of Control and General Secretary Robert Smith will likely demand home officials.
      He told iFL TV: “It’s never down to the promotional company, it’s something that’s very important for people to know.
      “I would be absolutely astonished if the British Boxing Board of Control allowed that fight to go ahead with no British judges.
      “Also for them it’s kind of like an admission of guilt and defeat if so.
      “And in fact Robert Smith has nearly forced fights to fall through because of his stubbornness for making sure that the British Boxing Board of Control are represented.

      “And you know what? I make Robert Smith right. I remember Klitschko against Joshua was neutral judges and it took argument after argument after argument.
      He continued: “The British Boxing Board of Control will always insist on one British ref and one British judge in an international fight of magnitude.
      “But this is two Brits. So I’d be absolutely astonished… it doesn’t have to be British across the board.
      “But I think Robert Smith would insist on a British ref and a British judge. And do you know what? I actually agree with him.”
      Fury, 33, does not currently hold a BBoBC licence having competed for the last four years and five fights Stateside.
      So he will return against Whyte, 33, for his UK homecoming on a foreign boxer’s license and wanted no British judges score the fight.
      He told talkSPORT: “I’ve seen an article recently where Frank Warren said there would be no British judges for this fight and I reiterate that as well.

      “Those words echo around my training camp. We don’t want British judges for this fight.
      “We want proper, experienced, judges who will do the right thing. If Dillian Whyte beats me, give him the decision.
      “Do not try and rob anybody of this fight, give the man the decision, give the man what he deserves.
      “If I win, do the same for me. In boxing, these fighters don’t want any gifts, they don’t want robbery decisions.
      “People want to win if they win, and lose if they lose. In the game, we’ve seen so many boxing decisions go the opposite way and I’m just thinking ‘what are they watching’.
      “As for the fight that happened the other night, both fighters tried their best and done what they could do best.
      “It’s not for me to say who won or lost, because I know both guys, but it was a good fight, I watched it and it was a great fight for the fans.
      “Both fighters did their best.”

      ‘He’s a lot different in person’ – Eddie Hearn likes the REAL Tyson Fury and gives rare insight into their relationship

      by

      EDDIE HEARN admitted he has ‘no problem’ with Tyson Fury and claimed the Gypsy King is ‘a lot different in person’. The promoter and WBC heavyweight champion have publicly had their back and fourths in recent times.

      But behind the scenes the pair appear to enjoy a more cordial relationship as Hearn claimed Fury even rings him up from time to time.
      He told iFL TV: “I get a couple of missed calls when he is out and about.
      “I think there was once when he was in London with Chisora recently and I saw him when he was in his hotel in Vegas.
      “I actually like Tyson Fury, I don’t mind him at all. He is a lot different in person than what you see on social media and is actually a very knowledgable boxing head.
      “Last time I was with him he actually went through our entire stable, I have no problem with him.”
      Hearn recently lost the purse bid for Fury’s fight with Dillian Whyte, which was won by Frank Warren, who offered £30.6million.

      The Matchroom Boxing boss predicted the British grudge match between the 33-year-old’s at Wembley Stadium on April 23 may not sell out.
      But within 90 minutes, over 85,000 tickets were sold leading to more being requested.
      Fury sent Hearn a clip of his prediction to make fun of his rival – but the matchmaker was too busy at Canelo Alvarez’s recent press conference.
      Hearn said: “I do find it funny that they think of me, I am over here busy doing Canelo, when he sent me that video.
      “I just replied with that head-to-head of Canelo and said, ‘Sorry I am busy at the moment’.”

      Tyson Fury claims Dillian Whyte fight could smash British attendance record with 100,000 packed into Wembley

      by

      TYSON FURY is hoping a record British crowd of over 100,000 people cram into Wembley to see him fight Dillian Whyte.The Gypsy King defends his WBC heavyweight title against his fellow Englishman at the home of football on Saturday 23 April.

      Over 90,000 tickets have already been sold for the fight on April 23Credit: Rex
      The fight will be Fury’s first in England since 2018 and the 6ft 9in star was buzzing when it was announced there was not a single seat left in the 90,000-seat arena after frantic buying on Wednesday.
      An additional 5,000 went on sale yesterday and were quickly snapped up also.
      Anthony Joshua’s 2017 win over Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley was in front of 90,000 people, but Fury vs Whyte seems set to smash that figure.
      Now Fury hopes that a few more will be squeezed in and that he can be part of history in his first bout on these shores for four years.
      He told talkSPORT: “We had those great nights in Las Vegas, a lot of fans turned out for that.
      “It’s down to me to come home and put on a big fight in the UK and give all the fans that travelled abroad, and ones who couldn’t travel, come and see me in the flesh and see the fight.

      Anthony Joshua open to interim fight while brave Oleksandr Usyk serves on Ukrainian front line against Russia

      And while Usyk takes care of far more important issues outside of the ring, Joshua is preparing for a rematch against the Ukrainian but according to his promoter Eddie Hearn could take another fight in the meantime.
      Speaking on The MMA Hour, |Hearn said: “It’s difficult to speak on behalf of Oleksandr Usyk.
      “Firstly, my thoughts are with everybody in Ukraine and people showing incredible bravery out there, particularly some of the great fighters of the past and Oleksandr as well.
      “He can have the time that he needs. We [Joshua’s camp] don’t want any other fight but Oleksandr Usyk.
      “Whether there’s a delay for that fight and we have an interim bout, I guess that’s subject to the situation with Oleksandr Usyk and how much time he needs.
      “It’s a very emotional time and personal time for the people of Ukraine. So we’ll respect them and give them all the time, but we wouldn’t be looking to get out of our obligation, is what I’m saying.

      “The only fight AJ wants right now is Oleksandr Usyk. If we have to fight in between, no problem at all, but we’ll respect this time for Oleksandr Usyk and speak to his advisers.
      “If there needs to be a delay for the contractual period, we will be happy to grant that, but we want that fight.
      “We don’t want that obligation to slide away.”
      Usyk beat AJ by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in September.
      After discussions about Joshua stepping aside to allow an undisputed fight between Usyk and Tyson Fury, The Gypsy King has now opted to take on mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte.
      This left Joshua in line for a rematch with the Ukrainian in the first half of 2022, but Usyk’s military service may now delay that happening.
      When asked earlier this week about when he will be ready to defend his belts, Usyk said: “I really don’t know when I’m going to be stepping back in the ring.
      “My country and my honour are more important to me than a championship belt.”
      Joshua has fought just twice since regaining the heavyweight belts against Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019.
      He defended them against Kubrat Pulev in December 2020, before losing to Usyk last year. More
