      Dillian Whyte ranks the world’s best five heavyweights and claims he’s THIRD behind Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE believes Britain boasts the top three heavyweights in the world as he put himself third in his top-five list.The Body Snatcher – who takes on Tyson Fury in his next fight – has two defeats on his record.

      The 33-year-old was knocked out by rival Anthony Joshua in 2015, and lost to the Russian Povetkin in 2020.
      But the Jamaican-born fighter has established himself as one of the most feared men in the division thanks to epic victories against the likes of Derek Chisora, Joseph Parker and the rematch against Povetkin.
      Uploading a clip on his Instagram story in 2020, Whyte was asked by a fan who he believes are the best active heavyweights.
      And he stated that he believes he is a better fighter than former world champions Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr.
      He said: “Top five heavyweights would have to be Tyson Fury, Joshua, me, Deontay Wilder probably and Ruiz.
      “Or one of those guys I guess.”

      One of those boxers could be unbeaten Ukrainian star Oleksandr Usyk who has moved up from cruiserweight having become the undisputed champion and then snatched AJ’s belts in September.
      Another potential fighter to challenge Ruiz Jr for fifth place could be Kubrat Pulev – although he was comprehensively beaten by Joshua back in 2020.
      Whyte’s focus now is his maiden world title bout with Fury later this year.
      Although he is in a spat with the WBC after a 80-20 purse split was announced following Frank Warren’s winning bid of £30.6million offer.
      That would see the Brixton ace land just £6.1m of the purse – and Fury more than £24m.
      NO WHYTE NOISE
      Whyte has kept quiet since the shock announcement, with promoter Eddie Hearn insisting he is simply focusing on preparing for the fight.
      Hearn said: “As of this morning, we haven’t received a contract. That’s not unusual but we don’t have it.
      “It’s a process you go through. Someone said to me I’ve gone quiet but I lost the purse bid, it’s not my fight to promote.
      “He’s just chilled and training. There’s a way to deal with Fury and sometimes going on the quiet side is decent.
      “Do you really want to get in a slanging match with Fury and use all that energy? Do your work, do your training and go and try and knock him out.
      “There are no conversations about another direction, this is the only direction, this is the fight.”

      Who is on Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Williams undercard? Fight night schedule for TONIGHT’S Cardiff bill this weekend

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK JR faces rival Liam Williams in Cardiff as boxing makes its BIG return this tonight.The British Boxing Board of Control suspended boxing in the UK all January to allow medics to prioritise their work with the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic. And now it’s back with a huge show in Cardiff.
      Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Williams face off in Cardiff
      Eubank Jr and Williams were set to fight in December, before an injury to Williams forced its postponement.
      It was then set for late January before suffering a second postponement after the BBBofC’s ruling. Now they finally meet.
      Eubank Jr, 32, has branded his opponent as a “keyboard warrior” ahead of the grudge match on Saturday.
      He said: “It’s real for me. Is it real for him? He had a lot to say on social media over the last couple of years that he wasn’t able to articulate when I stood in front of him at the press conference.
      “Maybe he isn’t real, maybe he is fake. He is a keyboard warrior, just like all the other guys. He has a lot to say with his thumbs, but when the time comes and he’s in front of the man he’s supposed to say it to, he backs down and I don’t respect that.”

      Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Williams: Date, UK start time, TV channel, live stream, undercard for TONIGHT’S British clash

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK JR takes on rival Liam Williams TONIGHT in a huge British middleweight grudge match. The British Boxing Board of Control had to cancel the bout along with every fight in the UK throughout January, but it’s now back on and set to take place this weekend.

      Eubank Jr fought twice in 2021, seeing off Marcus Morrison and Wanik Awdijan as he looks to build towards Gennady Golovkin and a world title shot.
      Williams meanwhile got his chance at the WBO middleweight crown in the summer, but fell on the wrong side of an unanimous decision against Demetrius Andrade.
      This will be the Welshman’s first bout in Cardiff since 2018, where he scored an emphatic second round KO of Craig Nicholson.
      There is no love-lost between the two fighters and this Best of British fight could be one of the highlights of 2021.
      When is Eubank Jr vs Williams?

      The big domestic dust-up was set for Saturday, January 29 – but was POSTPONED for a second time.
      Originally, the fight was scheduled for December 11, but a shoulder injury for Williams had put the fight back by six weeks.
      It will now be held TONIGHT – Saturday, February 5.
      It will be held at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, which will house around 7,000 fight fans.
      The evening’s entertainment will start around 6pm, with the main event around 10pm GMT.

      What they said
      Eubank Jr said: “I am on the way to world titles and cleaning up the middleweight division. Rematch clauses? Business is business.

      “We have the styles to make this an epic fight. We’ll see who has the better chin, speed, tactics, footwork.
      “I don’t try to deceive. That will be proven. He doesn’t have the chin to withstand the punishment that is coming his way.
      “I know what I’ve done to guys that two or three times as tough as him.”
      Williams said: “I’ve got a better skill-set. I punch harder. He is mentally tough and takes a good shot but his legs are robotic. He moves like he has wooden legs.
      “Chris, once the going gets tough, will revert back [to his old style].
      “Chris has a rematch clause for this fight so he obviously doubts his ability.” More

      ‘I’m a big boy’ – Chris Eubank Jr claims he doesn’t need his dad to help settle British grudge war with Liam Williams

      by

      BIG BOY Chris Eubank Jr does not need his legendary father to help settle British grudge wars any more.The eccentric two-weight world champion was his son’s lead cornerman for defeats to Billy Joe Saunders and George Groves and was still a loud presence at ringside for his win over James DeGale in 2019.

      But he has been a glaring absence ahead of the bitter grudge match with Liam Williams in Cardiff on Saturday night.
      The 55-year-old icon will be at ringside but he has handed over training duties to American ring legend Roy Jones Jr.
      And Eubank Jr, 32, insists he now has the confidence to carry the family name on his fearsome lonesome.
      The Brighton middleweight said: “I am a big boy. I don’t need anyone to speak for me any more.
      “When I was younger I didn’t really want to be in front of cameras but now I have done it and am more confident and happy to open up about things. It’s a natural progression.
      “My father will be there on the night, 100 per cent. He and Roy are in constant contact but he will not be in the corner.
      “It is different not having him in the corner because Chris Eubank in your corner is a presence — but he has not been in my corner for years.”
      The second-generation slugger was put in an awkward position back in July 2014 when his dad hailed him as the best fighter in the world, ready to replace undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather.

      Eubank Jr suffered his first of two defeats just four months later but he believes all his old man’s bluster helped him become the 31-2 headliner he is.
      The 11st 6lb ace said: “He compared me to Mayweather to promote his fighter and people have talked about it for years.
      “He has done his job. That was his job as a fight manager.
      “He said it, it put a lot of pressure on me but it forced me to train and fight hard to live up to that statement.
      “Having dealt with previous pressure helps me. For other guys it is a problem.
      “When everything is at stake other people crumble and fold but it focuses me and improves me.
      “Bring all the pressure.”
      Welsh hardman Williams wants to watch his country’s rugby union stars take on Ireland in the Six Nations on his hotel TV before racing over to the Motorpoint Arena to attack his nemesis.
      He is so full of s***. I will make him question what level he is at. Liam Williams
      And if he secures a victory over the rival he insists has been gifted opportunities off his father’s back, the buffet and bar are in for a similar pasting.
      The thirsty 29-year-old growled: “He is so full of s***.
      “I will make him question what level he is at.
      “I will definitely take him back a few steps and put him back in his box.
      “On Sunday morning I will probably wake up for breakfast and have a full cheesecake — none of that cutting slices bulls**t — grab a big spoon and get stuck right into it.
      “Once I recover from the food coma I will go and have 20 pints of cider as well!”

      Eubank Jr v Williams is live and exclusive on Sky Sports from 7.30pm on Saturday night. More

      KSI’s brother Deji to make boxing return on UK vs USA influencer card with ex-reality TV star Ashley Cain in action

      by

      KSI’S brother ‘Deji’ is set to make his boxing return in a UK vs USA celebrity influencer event in March. The card, promoted by Showstar, features eight fights with names from the YouTube, gaming and reality TV scene.
      KSI’s brother Deji is set to make his boxing return
      Deji – full name Oladeji Daniel Olatunji – is most well known as the younger brother of British social media sensation KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji.
      The internet personality lost a white collar exhibition bout to Jake Paul in 2018, the now 5-0 unbeaten professional boxer.
      Deji was last in the ring in June 2021 in a similar celebrity bout, losing to TikToker Vinnie Hacker.
      But the Londoner gets his shot at ‘redemption’ with a headline fight against American YouTuber Alex Wassabi – real name Alex Burris.
      Also fighting is ex-reality TV star Ashley Cain facing US content creator Andreas Eskander.
      In April last year, Cain tragically lost his eight-month-old baby daughter Azaylia, who suffered from a rare form of leukaemia.

      Watch Usyk spurn golden chance to score on pro football debut just moments after coming on as sub for FC Polissya

      by

      HEAVYWEIGHT king Oleksandr Usyk blew a glorious scoring chance on his football debut – TEN SECONDS after coming on for Ukrainian second-tier side FC Polissya.Despite possibly rematching against Anthony Joshua within weeks, the legend switched sports to take on top-flight team NK Veres Rivne.
      Ukrainian Boxing great Oleksandr Usyk looked an equally tough proposition out in the middle of the pitch
      FC Polissya sub Oleksandr Usyk saw the ball go between his legs when he wasted this glaring opportunity
      Legend Usyk whipped up attention when he started shadow-boxing to warm up for coming on for a late debut cameo
      Ukraine’s most famous current sportsman, heavyweight boxing champ Oleksandr Usyk, came on for FC Polissya against mid-table Prem side NK Veres Rivne
      And having brilliantly kept AJ at a distance to claim the world title, he became a six-yard boxer in the Winter Cup ‘friendly’ in Turkey.
      Brought on after 76 minutes, Usyk was immediately in the right place at the right time but for once failed to deliver the knockout punch.
      The 35-year-old starjabbed his left boot at an inviting pullback, only to miss the ball completely.
      But it got better for Usyk after that as Polissya held on for a 2-1 win – and he saved his best until last.
      First, the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO champion nodded the ball on for a team-mate.
      And he soon played a neat one-two as he seemed to settle down.

      Then in stoppage time Usyk had Veres Rivne on the ropes with a surging run.
      Picking the ball up on the edge of his own area following an opposition corner, the barrel-chested battler broke to the halfway line.
      He laid it off smoothly for a team-mate, who was fouled as the counter-attack foundered.
      Cameras had focused on Usyk from the start, with the attention reaching fever pitch once he began shadow-boxing on the sidelines to warm up.
      And as soon as he was on the pitch he bounced around, looking not unlike famous Brazilian powerhouse Hulk.
      Polissya director Volodymyr Zagursky insisted before kick-off his country’s best-known sportsman could land himself a professional debut if he impresses on the training camp.
      Zagursky told The Times Hub: “If Usyk strengthens our team, we will offer a professional contract, if not, we will just give a chance to try his hand at football.
      “What will Usyk’s participation in the tournament look like? These moments are kept secret. Watch the tournament and you will see everything.”
      Incredibly, though, the ring hero could still meet dethroned Joshua as soon as March or April.
      Whoever triumphs is tipped for a shot at the winner of WBC champ Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.
      FC Polissya rookie Usyk looked pleased with his first performance
      Usyk could be offered a professional football contract if he impresses
      Not surprisingly, Oleksandr Usyk was the centre of attention from cameras of fans and media More

      Eubank Jr on how his anatomy makes him perfect boxer, from granite chin to ripped stomach despite scoffing ice cream

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK JR has famous fighting blood and a granite chin – but does the rest of his anatomy make him a potential world champion?The son of British ring legend Chris Sr – a bonafide two-weight champ – is yet to land a major world title at his dad’s old middle and super-middle stomping grounds.

      Eubank Jr feels he is smarter and more disciplined than his opponentCredit: Getty
      But winning his bitter grudge match with Wales’ Liam Williams in a hostile Cardiff on Saturday should catapult the 32-year-old boxer into major fights later this year.
      And Eubank Jr went through his ripped body with SunSport to explain why he is a lean, mean fighting machine.
      BRAIN
      Eubank Jr: I have thought at a higher level throughout my career and handled more pressure.
      I am a smarter fighter, more prepared and disciplined. I also have a better trainer in Roy Jones Jr who creates the strategy.
      My self-belief is huge, I never see anyone as too big or too bad to fight and beat.
      I think mindset means much more than athletic ability, if you are willing to do anything it takes to win, it sets you apart.

      CHIN
      My chin is granite, rock, unmoveable, unbreakable. I have never been knocked down in a fight or even sparring.
      Liam Williams cannot say the same thing.
      HEART
      I am very well off but I always want more, I have not made all the money I want to make so I am still hungry.
      There are things I need to achieve in and out of boxing. My heart and desire is burning even though I have nice houses and cars.
      I love to fight, I could just chill out now and live on my investments but I love to fight and be challenged.
      LUNGS
      I am a very old-school fighter in terms of the way I train but I don’t do the famous early morning runs anymore. I do my boxing training in the day – sparring, bags, pads and then my cardio at night.
      I believe in keeping the body active at night because that is when you fight, that’s my theory – but I also don’t like getting up in the morning.
      STOMACH
      I am blessed with a very fast metabolism, no matter what I eat I never put weight on easily. I have been eating Magnum ice creams in the build-up to this fight.
      I have never binged or enjoyed fast food but I also don’t stick to a strict diet or employ a nutritionist.
      I have documented all of my own fights camps, what and when I have eaten and how I have felt. I am old-school so I always stay in shape.
      FISTS
      My power is up there with anyone in this division.
      I put my shots together well and am always very accurate. I never waste shots and I feel I can hurt anyone.
      FEET
      I feel I have always had great footwork but I may have neglected to use it in one or two fights.
      My footwork is much better than most fighters and having Roy with me means my feet have only improved and will continue to get better.
      BLOOD
      My genetics are a factor, some guys are born to be athletic and perform.
      I have always been able to get a physique, go 12 rounds and run fast, since I was a kid.
      But I have seen super fast and strong guys get beaten by the less athletic guy who is willing to die in the ring.
      Eubank Jr. vs. Williams is live and exclusive on Sky Sports this Saturday from 7.30pm More
