      Dillian Whyte WILL fight winner of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder after Joshua officially triggers Usyk rematch clause

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE’s long-awaited crack at the WBC heavyweight title has officially been confirmed.The WBC mandated the winner of Tyson Fury’s trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder to take on the victor of Whyte’s clash with Otto Wallin earlier this week.

      The fight, however, was contingent on Fury or Wilder being unable to strike a deal to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title within 30 days.
      But with Anthony Joshua officially exercising his rematch clause with the Ukrainian, the winner of Whyte vs Wallin is now guaranteed the next shot at the undisputed WBC strap.
      On Saturday night, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn told DAZN’s Maya Jama: “Today we officially triggered the rematch for Oleksandr Usyk fight, which we’ll see early next spring.
      “Back in the game and we’re looking for him to become three-time world champion.
      “A few niggles in camp for AJ, Usyk had a bad cut, it’s officially triggered, we’ll sit down with K2 Promotions and I think March is when you’ll see that fight.
      “This was a disappointing loss to a pound-for-pound great.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “We don’t need to get back in the game with 10-rounders, he needs to rip those belts off Usyk.”
      Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum revealed this week he’s interested in a Battle of Britain between Fury and Whyte.
      He told iFL TV: “That could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in UK.
      “That is not out of the question, Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight and a fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder [or] whoever wins would be a very interesting fight.”
      But the 89-year-old doesn’t foresee Whyte getting past Swedish slugger Wallin.
      Today we officially triggered the rematch for Oleksandr Usyk fight, which we’ll see early next springAnthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn
      He said: “Last time he [Whyte] was mandatory, he fought Povetkin and got knocked on his ass.
      “I look for Wallin to clearly beat Whyte, so I’m not even taking it into consideration.”
      Despite being within touching distance of a long-awaited showdown with Fury, Whyte, is refusing to get his hopes up.
      The 33-year-old said: “Tyson Fury hasn’t spoken to anyone from my team about any fight.
      “If he was serious, he would have sent emails or phone calls and we’d have been talking.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      “If he was serious I would probably have even waited for him and not fought until December.
      “But these fights are big fights, big fights don’t get made in one or two months.
      ‘There’s a lot of things that need to happen.”

      AJ, 31, WILL immediately have an opportunity to win them back, however, with promoter Eddie Hearn confirming the clause has now been activated.
      Hearn told DAZN’s Maya Jama: “Today we officially triggered the rematch for Oleksandr Usyk fight, which we’ll see early next spring.
      “Back in the game and we’re looking for him to become three-time world champion.

      The new champ, 34, is keen for the rematch to take place in his home country’s capital, Kiev.
      While Hearn would like the bout to take place in the UK, despite offers from the Middle East.
      The Matchroom promoter told The BBC: “Usyk has mentioned Kiev in his home country Ukraine as a potential venue and we will look at all options.
      “When AJ heard about that he didn’t have an issue with it and found it quite exciting.
      “I would like to do it back in the UK and we’ve had offers from the Middle East but we will see what’s the best opportunity for both fighters.
      “I don’t think the venue makes much difference in how AJ has to fight.”

      Mike Tyson tells Fury the ‘eyes of the Gods of war are upon you’ ahead of Deontay Wilder fight after tipping Brit to win

      by

      MIKE TYSON has sent a good luck message to Tyson Fury ahead of his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.The 33-year-old WBC champion, who was named Tyson after his dad’s heavyweight hero, is looking to beat his American rival for a second time in 20 months.

      And ‘Iron Mike’ gave Fury some words of encouragement just hours before the huge clash in Las Vegas.
      Speaking on Twitter, he said: “The eyes of the Gods of war are upon you @Tyson_Fury #FuryWilder3.”
      Earlier this week Tyson was asked to give his prediction for the fight.
      And the 55-year-old backed his man Fury to get the job done despite his compatriot Wilder being in the other corner.
      He said: “No way, you know, Deontay Wilder have nothing to be sad about… I just think Tyson Fury has his number.”
      The trilogy fight taking place tonight promises to bring an end to the Fury-Wilder rivalry which has consumed their careers for nearly three years.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      The first fight took place on December 2018, and the fight ended in a controversial split draw.
      Wilder landed a vicious right-left combination in the 12th and final round, sending Fury down hard.
      But Fury beat the referee’s count, much to everyone’s surprise.
      Fury then won the rematch in February 2020, claiming the WBC and Ring magazine titles with a dominant display.
      He knocked Wilder down twice before The Bronze Bomber’s corner threw the towel in, bringing an end to the American’s flawless professional record.

      ‘I want a rematch’ – Shannon Courtenay LOSES majority decision to Jamie Mitchell but demands immediate sequel

      by

      SHANNON COURTENAY was left distraught in Liverpool as she lost to new world champion Jamie Mitchell on Saturday night.The judges scored the contest a majority decision, 95-95,97-93, 96-94, in favour of the American.

      Watford fighter Courtenay missed the 118lb limit by 2.5lbs at the weigh-ins on Friday, which saw her WBA title stripped on the scales in the process.
      Courtenay, 28, explained coming on her period was the reason she missed weight, having apparently been spot on with it all week.
      On Saturday night – wearing a huge knee brace – she was unable to assert her authority in the ring and was thoroughly outboxed by a very game Mitchell.
      Despite the one-sided nature of the fight, Courtenay looked shocked as her opponent was announced the winner.
      Moments later, the dismayed fighter said: “I thought I won the fight, I landed the much heavier shots.
      “I don’t see how I lost, but I have to pay respect to her, she’s now world champion.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “That belt ain’t gonna be on her waist for long.
      “I’ve got a rematch and I’m gonna get it back.”
      Mitchell, 36, was equally bullish after earning her strap.
      The new champ roared: “She said she would take me to deep waters and drown me.
      “She took me to deep waters and I swam like an Olympian.”
      If Courtenay had won she would not have been crowned world champion because of missing weight.

      Deontay Wilder warns Tyson Fury ‘hasn’t seen him at 100%’ after past injuries as he calls himself ‘warrior’ and ‘king’

      by

      DEONTY WILDER insists rival Tyson Fury ‘hasn’t seen 100 per cent’ of him ahead of Saturday’s trilogy fight in Las Vegas.The American says Fury has only faced him when he’s either got an injury, or when something else is wrong with him.

      He told 78SPORTSTV: “Tyson Fury gave me the best of him. But he hasn’t seen 100 per cent of me, no-one has.
      “I’ve always came in with injuries or something wrong with me. Some say, ‘Well, why did you do that?’ I’m a warrior.
      “I’m a king, you’re a peasant. We are not equal.”
      Along with blaming injury or something else that might be going wrong with him, Wilder continues to insist Fury is a cheat.
      The 35-year-old has accused Fury of tampering with his gloves.
      And Wilder has complained AGAIN ahead of Saturday’s fight about Fury’s gloves, which have horse hair inside of them.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      On Friday, Wilder’s team raised concerns with the Nevada State Athletic Commission over Fury’s gloves.
      Wilder claims if Fury pushes and squeezes his gloves together, it will reduce the amount of padding.
      The NASC official tried to ease Wilder’s concerns by letting him wear the same gloves, or choose another pair.
      Wilder opted to wear a pair of Everlast MX’s, which he says he’s used to break ‘eye sockets’.
      Tensions flared between the two camps backstage before Friday’s weigh-in.
      A rattled Wilder team member told Shane Fury: “H** ass boy, you ain’t gonna do s***.

      DEONTAY WILDER has complained about rival Tyson Fury’s gloves AGAIN ahead of Saturday’s trilogy fight in Las Vegas. WBC heavyweight champ Fury has been accused of cheating multiple times by Wilder after their 2020 rematch fight.

      One of the accusations included Fury’s gloves being tampered with.
      On Friday, Wilder’s team raised concerns with the Nevada State Athletic Commission over Fury’s gloves having horse hair in them.
      Wilder claims if Fury pushes and squeezes his gloves together, it will reduce the amount of padding.
      Wilder told 78SportsTV: “We had a little situation with the gloves.
      “I already got word of some funny stuff going on in the back of the gloves.
      “When I got into the room I immediately asked about the gloves and was telling them about certain things that happened in the first event with his gloves being funny, how they were bending and folding, even showing certain clips of it.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “They [NASC officials] said they’ve been around boxing 25, 30 years, everybody feels since they’ve been around it they are some type of expert.
      “But if you haven’t put a glove on and hit someone in the face to understand what type of damage it could do, or how mechanically a glove can work, it’s 25, 30 years down the toilet.
      “You can cut open a glove all day and look inside and still not know what’s going on.
      “What happened was Fury’s glove that he’s chosen, which is the same thing he had last time, had little to no padding.
      “The rest of it was horse hair, we thought horse hair was illegal and out of the question but they said it was [OK], so we said cool.
      “They opened up my glove and my glove padding is at least two to three inches thick.
      “His glove looks like they’ve already been used, already folded, bended, like they’ve been thrown in the trash and got back out and say, ‘we’re gonna reuse these’.
      Wilder claims Fury cheated his way to victory in the 2020 rematchCredit: EPA
      “My argument was that this is not enough padding in these gloves.
      “They [NASC officials] were trying to convince me the horse hair in the gloves makes up for everything because the horse hair is actually harder than the foam.
      “I was telling them they were wrong because the thing about the horse hair is that over time the horse hair can spread, and if it spreads the horse hair gets thinner, that way you only feel that small padding that’s under the horse hair.
      “The man [the NASC official] tried to go on and explain the lining [on the glove] means it [the horse hair] can’t go anywhere.
      “Of course it can’t go down but it can go left to right in the pad. I started to explain to him of course it can’t go down but it can go left to right.
      “You can just put your hands together and the horse hair will start to expand [separate], so now you’ll just have a fist [in your glove], a top secret weapon.
      “I was trying to educate him [the NASC official] on it. One of the guys was trying to say the gloves bend at a 90 degree angle. I had to take my glasses off and look at him so they knew I was real.”

      The NASC official tried to ease Wilder’s concerns by letting him wear the same gloves, or choose another pair.
      Wilder opted to wear a pair of Everlast MX’s, which he says he’s used to break ‘eye sockets’.
      The 35-year-old continued: “As I started explaining more and we got into it more they said, ‘if you want to be on the same playing field you can wear the same gloves or get another selection of gloves’.
      “I said, ‘OK, let me get my [Everlast] MX’.
      “Everybody knows about the MX, those are puncher’s gloves, when they first came out I was breaking eye socks, breaking wrists, I even broke my hand a couple of times but I think my hand wraps were too tight and I have so much power that all that force was going in one place and cracking my own hands.
      “So I went back to my old MX to be on fair playing ground.
      “We got it all situated. We’re back at it, I’m very happy with what’s going on with the gloves.
      Wilder told Fury to ‘f*** your momma’Credit: GETTY IMAGES
      “Since they want little to no padding in the gloves, we’re going to have the same thing and may the best man win.”
      From what started out as friendly competitors who both had a bone to pick with Anthony Joshua, has since turned very sour.
      The pair had a slanging match in a corridor backstage ahead of Friday’s weigh-in.
      Wilder told Fury: “F*** your momma. F*** your momma.”
      Members from both camps also went at it with Tyson’s younger brother Shane Fury calling someone a ‘dwarf’.
      A rattled Wilder team member told Shane: “H** as boy, you ain’t gonna do s***.
      “I’ll smack the f*** out you boy. You a h**. You’re momma a h** too boy.

      Smith: “I’ve never lost to a domestic fighter as a pro. I’ll beat Anthony Fowler; I’ll never lose to a domestic fighter. That’s a good little record to have.
      “I turned pro and I’ve had 30-odd fights and I’ve never lost to a Brit. If I beat Fowler, I’m not going to fight another domestic fighter again, unless it’s a [Chris] Eubank or someone like that.
      “I’m confident that I beat Anthony Fowler every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I turn up at 100% then I beat Anthony Fowler. The way I see the fight going, it’ll be competitive early doors and then experience, cuteness and everything else will come on. I’ll stop him down the straight.” 
      Promoter Eddie Hearn: “This is the biggest night of boxing we’ve ever put on in Liverpool. The biggest Saturday night fight card we’ve put on since I’ve promoted boxing.
      “This fight is a fight that quite frankly I hadn’t even thought of a couple of months ago. Liam Smith went to Russia and was robbed in a fight which should have taken him on to challenge for a world title.
      “Anthony Fowler has improved and improved under the tutelage of Shane McGuigan and wants all the big challenges.” More
