      Flores’ doctor’s report read: “Dog bite, initial encounter. Penile laceration, initial encounter.”
      On the incident, Flores managed to see the funny side. He said on Instagram: “Talk about terrified, I am fine thank God!
      “So whenever you think you’re having a bad day… Just remember that story about the guy that was in the ER until 4am with a ‘penile laceration’ from a dog bite.”
      In messages posted to his story, Flores revealed the extent of his injury.
      He said: “Coulda been bad. Just the shaft/head a little scratched up.”
      Flores also added: “Little f***er grabbed onto the shaft.”

      Flores is expected to be fully recovered in ten days but there’s no date on when he will reunite with Paul.
      The YouTube star-turned-boxer is yet to announce his return to the ring and has instead been promoting Amanda Serrano’s fight against Katie Taylor.
      Paul was meant to fight Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy last December.
      But Tommy pulled out through injury and Paul instead fought Tyron Woodley for the second time, which he won by knockout.
      Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has emerged as a potential opponent for the American.
      Paul told the Mirror: “I want the [Chavez Jr] fight.
      “We have to figure out the set-up of it – obviously he’s making bold asks right off the jump.
      “But he’s a little cuckoo, I think everybody in the boxing industry knows that he’s a little cuckoo.
      “So we’ll see, I want the fight but some people are saying he might not even show up.”

      “If you train and do your best you can travel the world. I come from a family who don’t have money, but I want to thank the sport of boxing.”
      Paul, 25, has ruffled plenty of feathers with his brashness and social media antics during his brief stint as a professional boxer.
      But Briedis – who was ringside for Lawrence Okolie’s latest defence of the WBO 200lb belt – respects the former Disney star’s hustle, saying: “He is brilliant in social and how he sells his fights and how he gets the huge money in our platform of boxing.
      “He isn’t stupid that is why he deletes my comments on his posts, but I believe this fight happens because this is my ideas what I do with my tattoo and song. I made it interesting with this ‘Mario’ surprise.
      “We have very good ideas but also step-by-step so we go next to Australia. But also Jake Paul if he says yes we cancel everything and face Jake Paul.”
      Briedis hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his third-round TKO victory over Artur Mann last October, while Paul hasn’t competed since his viral KO of ex-UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley last December.
      Paul is eyeing a September return to the ring, saying during an appearance on The MMA Hour: “There’s a lot going on in other aspects of my life.
      “I’m going to do these press conferences over the next two weeks here to help with the promotion around Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and I’m very busy on the business side of things with my venture capital fund.

      “So I haven’t even got back into the gym or been training at all.
      “I need to have a discussion with my coaches but probably I would say August-September maybe. Maybe later. I’m trying to figure it out.
      “Obviously if the stars align in some sort of way or I have a change of heart, then things can obviously move around but right now I don’t feel like that motivated to just go right back into another training camp.”

      But Usyk has recently been spotted clutching a machine gun in his home country of Ukraine after Russia invaded last week.
      AJ’s promoter has been fielding questions over whether the fight will be able to go ahead.
      But Hearn isn’t worried about that, suggesting the fight WILL go ahead as planned as Usyk aims to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts.
      Hearn told iFL TV: “People keep saying will this affect Oleksandr Usyk (against Joshua)…
      “I can’t tell you what Oleksandr Usyk is thinking in his mind.
      “For me, the answer is no… I would guess Usyk will start camp in about four weeks’ time.

      “It’s a very sensitive subject and I can’t tell you what certain individuals are doing when their country is at war.
      “But I don’t expect it to have any bearing on Anthony Joshua versus Oleksandr Usyk.”
      When asked again if it would have any bearing on AJ vs Usyk, Hearn continued: “I think no.
      “But again it’s a sensitive issue. Your country is at war.
      “You’ve seen Wladmir Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko talking about going to fight in the army. Wow.”
      Over the weekend, married dad-of-three Usyk pleaded with Russia to stop the war.
      In an Instagram video the devout Orthodox Christian said: “Good morning to everybody. My name is Oleksandr Usyk. I’d like to speak to the people of Russia. 
      “If we consider ourselves as brothers, Orthodox ones, do not send your children to our country, do not fight with us. 
      “Also I’m addressing this to the President, Vladimir Putin. You can stop this war. 
      “Please just sit down and negotiate it with us without claims. 
      “Our kids, wives, grannies are hiding in the basements. We are here in our own country, we cannot do it any other way.
      “We are defending. Stop this war, stop it. No War.”
      Joshua has since set his rivalry with Usyk aside in a message of support.
      AJ said: “I’ve learned sports and politics go hand in hand.
      “They are powerful voices and it is good they are speaking up.
      “They are not pushing for war, they are saying let’s find peace so good luck to them.” More

      Canelo Alvarez set for blockbuster fight with Russian Dmitry Bivol with Ukraine invasion having ‘no bearing’ on plans

      by

      EDDIE HEARN is adamant Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will have ‘no bearing’ on Canelo Alvarez’s fight with Dmitry Bivol. Canelo is set to challenge for the Russian’s WBA light-heavyweight title on May 7 in Las Vegas.

      But the announcement came amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leaving the impact on future fights unclear.
      Oleksandr Usyk’s proposed rematch with Anthony Joshua now remains a doubt also after the heavyweight champ joined the battle to protect his homeland.
      Eddie Hearn said on iFL TV: “People keep saying would this affect Canelo against Bivol? Would this affect Oleksandr Usyk?
      “I can’t tell you what Oleksandr Usyk is thinking in his mind. But for me, the answer is no.

      “I guess, like Dmitry Bivol who will start camp in Los Angeles this weekend or on Monday – if that’s what’s required of Usyk, he will do the same.”

      Tommy Fury called out by Tyron Woodley after Jake Paul urges Love Island star and ex-UFC champion to fight

      by

      TOMMY FURY has been called out by Tyron Woodley after Jake Paul urged the pair to fight. YouTube star Paul has previous with the two, having beaten Woodley twice and seeing a grudge match with Fury cancelled.

      The brother to heavyweight champion Tyson, 33, pulled out of the fight in December with a broken rib and chest infection.
      Fury, 22, has pleaded with his promotional team to agree a rescheduled date but Paul, 25, has been unwilling to oblige.
      He instead told the 2019 Love Islander to earn it, by either fighting Woodley, 39, or featuring on Tyson’s next undercard.
      And ex-UFC champion Woodley is ready to go, as he responded to the challenge: “I’m wit (sic) it.”
      Paul first beat the American on points in August then won the rematch with a brutal knockout four months later after Fury pulled out.
      And he wants to see Woodley now get in the ring with his celebrity boxing rival.

      Paul said on The MMA Hour: “He’s delusional and he sort of missed his chance and his opportunity.

      “Because I think Tyron would knock Tommy out, so, I almost want to have them fight.
      “Tommy, people only know him because of me, and so I want him to go get some of your own fans, or clout, or go do some other thing.
      “Then, maybe we could run it back after that.”

      Anthony Joshua forgets rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk and sends message of support after he joins Ukraine front line

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has forgotten his rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk and sent a message of support amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It comes following the news Usyk has taken up arms in Ukraine’s desperate fight against Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

      The unified heavyweight champion in September dethroned AJ and the pair are contracted to an immediate rematch.
      But the crisis in Ukraine leaves their second fight in doubt – although Joshua, 32, has sent his support to Usyk, 35.
      He told iFL TV: “I’ve learned sports and politics go hand in hand. They are powerful voices and it is good they are speaking up.
      “They are not pushing for war, they are saying let’s find peace so good luck to them.”
      Usyk has joined the Kyiv Territorial Defence and slung a machine gun over his giant shoulder.
      He has joined best friend and Vasiliy Lomachenko and legendary boxing brothers Wladimir and Kyiv mayor Vitali in swapping gloves for guns.

      Usyk flew into London last week to watch Chelsea beat Lille on Tuesday night and visit Sheffield on Wednesday.
      He also met with Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn for talks on a date and venue for the heavyweight rematch.
      But the fearless southpaw returned straight back into the warzone and posted a string of emotional videos to Putin and the invading Russian hordes, before finally arming himself on Monday.
      The AJ rematch, which Hearn has been hoping to stage in late May or early June, now seems certain to be delayed.
      Married father-of-three Usyk clearly has far more important things on his mind and he has appealed directly to the Russian people for help.
      I’ve learned sports and politics go hand in hand. They are powerful voices and it is good they are speaking up.Anthony Joshua
      In an Instagram video, he said: “Good morning to everybody. My name is Oleksandr Usyk. I’d like to speak to the people of Russia. 
      “If we consider ourselves as brothers, Orthodox ones, do not send your children to our country, do not fight with us. 
      “Also I’m addressing this to the President, Vladimir Putin. You can stop this war. 
      “Please just sit down and negotiate it with us without claims. Our kids, wives, grannies are hiding in the basements.
      “We are here in our own country, we cannot do it any other way. We are defending. Stop this war, stop it. No War.”

      What has been said?
      Deji has said: “I’m going to be fighting main event on the Showstar UK vs USA event at the Wembley SSE Arena.
      “Alex Wassabi, you desperate f***er. You got your wish, I’m going to bury your already dead career.
      “You ran from my bro but there’s no escaping me – I’m going to put you to sleep on that canvas, March 5th.
      “I want to see all my fans there.”
      Alex Wassabi replied: “That’s his mindset, it’s all mental with him and it’s hard to talk about because I want this to be a good fight.
      “I would rather win a decision than win by first round knockout because I want it to be an epic battle – this is my first fight!” More
