      Watch Paulie Malignaggi picked up by security guard after confrontation with TikTok star Corey B ahead of exhibition

      by

      PAULIE MALIGNAGGI was picked up by a security guard after a confrontation with TikTok star Corey B ahead of their exhibition. Somehow, the former two-weight boxing champion is set to fight the comedian, whose real name is Corey Bonalewicz.

      That is despite viral troll Corey B having never had a boxing match in his life.
      The dreadful mismatch has been put together by Celebrity Boxing and set for October 10 in Miami, Florida
      Also due to be on the card is NBA legend Lamar Odom, 41, who recently beat singer Aaron Carter, 33, in an equally bizarre bout.
      Malignaggi, 40, clashed with Corey B, 33, while they were both ringside after the retired boxer had CHALK thrown at him.
      And the pair kept up the circus act while on stage to promote their fight.
      I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook. Corey B on Paulie Malignaggi
      As they came head-to-head, Corey B appeared to slap Malignaggi, which prompted a furious reaction.
      The New Yorker went after his rival but was picked up by a security guard, much like a petulant child might.
      Malignaggi retired in March 2017 after losing to Britain’s Sam Eggington.
      But five months later he was involved in a sparring feud with ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 33, after images and video were leaked.
      It saw him feud with the Irishman, so much so that he fought McGregor’s training partner Artem Lobov, 34, in a bare-knuckle bout in July 2019.

      Malignaggi lost and broke his right hand, and the injury was Corey B’s primary reason for taking the fight.
      He told BoxingInsider: “I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook.
      “He’s taken a lot of punches. I’ve got all the footage on him and he has no footage on me so everything is in my favour.”

      Floyd Mayweather earned over £1.6m per punch landed in Logan Paul exhibition after boxing legend connected 43 times

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER earned over £1.6million per punch against Logan Paul after landing 43 times in the exhibition. Mayweather boasted of making £72m ($100) for his pay-per-view exhibition against YouTube star Paul.

      But as he failed to score a knockout, no winner was declared and to the shock of many went the full eight round distance.
      With 43 punches connecting during the fight, it meant Mayweather banked £1.6m per punch, according to website Bonusfinder.
      The American legend was more profitable with his time in the ring against Paul, 26, than he was with Manny Pacquiao, 42, and Conor McGregor, 33.
      Mayweather, 44, beat long-time rival Pacquiao on points in 2015 and reports add that it saw him earn £1.3m per punch landed.
      He connected 148 times on the Filipino icon and walked away with a purse close to £192.5m.
      Logan’s f***ing big, too. But, I thought he did a good job tying Floyd up, not letting Floyd get off when he was. And Floyd looked old that night, tooDana White
      And against ex-UFC champion McGregor – his last professional bout – he landed 170 times.
      It earned him just over £1.2m per shot due to his estimated £211m overall purse.
      Paul landed only 28 times against Mayweather in a fight he was rumoured to have been paid £10m for.
      It meant he would have pocketed £357,143 for every time he caught his iconic and unbeaten opponent.
      Paul won the praise of UFC president Dana White, who said his friend Mayweather ‘knew he looked old’.

      White told Nelk Boys: “Have you ever met Floyd Mayweather in person? He’s f***ing tiny, man.
      “He’s tiny, and Logan’s f***ing big, too. But, I thought he did a good job tying Floyd up, not letting Floyd get off when he was.
      “And Floyd looked old that night, too. And I think Floyd knew he looked old that night.”

      And Tyson’s father John praised Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for its incredible intervention as Athena slowly recovers OFF ventilators.
      John told BT Sport: “It’s been a bit of a white knuckle ride. We’ve had a lot to deal with.
      “But we’ve come out on the other side due to professionalism of Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool.
      “They’re the best children’s hospital in the country if not the world.
      “They’ve been really magnificent. They’ve really saved her life because she was dead for three minutes and they brought her back.
      “It’s onwards and upwards from today.”
      Tyson, who was 33 on Thursday, posted an equally-positive message himself on his Instagram story.
      Tyson Fury and wife Paris have had an anxious few days as their sixth child, Athena, was on a ventilator
      He wrote: “Update for everyone. Baby Athena is well and has had a stable day off [the] ventilator.
      “Thanks to everyone for the prayers, still in the ICU for now.
      “Thanks to all the Drs and nurses. God bless you all.”
      WBC king Fury earlier set up a GoFundMe page for the Alder Hey Family House Trust, which at the time of writing had raised £34,532 towards its £50k target.

      The grateful Brit will also auction off two signed WBC belts to raise more money for the fund.
      Fury has been building up for a third fight with dethroned Yank Deontay Wilder.
      Their trilogy bout was rescheduled for October after the Gypsy King tested positive for Covid-19.

      John Fury disagrees with Tyson over Anthony Joshua and brands Brit second-best heavyweight ahead of Deontay Wilder

      by

      JOHN FURY disagrees with his son Tyson’s assessment of the heavyweight division, insisting Anthony Joshua is the ‘second-best’ fighter in the weight class.Despite having made light work of Deontay Wilder in their rematch last February, WBC heavyweight champion Fury still ranks the American above his unified counterpart.

      But his old man has a different view, insisting Joshua – who is gearing up for a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk – is the No.2 in the world by virtue of his unified champion status.
      John Fury told BT Sport: “What we do is get him bumped off, and we’re on the AJ trail again.
      “The Anthony Joshua trail, and we’re not going to come off until we got him. But he’s got a sticky wicket to do [with Oleksandr Usyk].
      “That’s not a foregone conclusion. You know, I tip AJ, he’s big, he’s strong, and he’s got a good boxing array.
      “Besides Tyson, he’s the second-best heavyweight in the world, I think.
      “It would be a toss-up between him [Joshua] and Wilder because if Wilder landed on him, it would be good night for him.

      “He wouldn’t recover. But he’s [Joshua] the one with the best, so you got to say, he’s second-best.
      “That’s the fight I’m looking at. We just got to get rid of this American problem [for Fury], and he’s a problem because he’s out there, he’s not under the watchful eye, and he’s around all these yes-men.”
      Fury, 33, returned to the UK from his American training camp last month ahead of the birth of his daughter, Athena.
      But dad John wasn’t impressed by what he saw of The Gypsy King’s training in Las Vegas.
      The 57-year-old said: “He’s out there and he’s not under the watchful eye, he’s around all these yes men when he gets out.
      “Because when he gets off the plane in Las Vegas, you’ve got 200 yes men waiting for him looking to get that from him.
      “Because he’s the Pied Piper, ain’t he? That’s what he does. People follow him around just to get what they can.
      Besides Tyson, he’s the second-best heavyweight in the worldJohn Fury on Anthony Joshua
      “‘Yes, Tyson. You’re this, you’re that, you’re the best in the world. We love you.’
      “This kid’s heard it all before in my life.
      “They don’t love ya, they don’t care ya, they just want your money and your profile to make their status bigger for being around ya.”
      John says he would’ve gutted his son’s team if he were able to travel Stateside, saying: “I don’t want all them fake plastic pretenders around me.
      “Because you know that size 12, it goes right up their backside. That’s what happens when you’re around me.Get down that road.
      “‘What are you bringing to my son’s table?’ If it’s not relevant, you’re gone. But Tyson’s not like that, he just hasn’t got that character. But I have.
      “And you need people like me. Somebody’s got to point the finger at the bad guy.
      FURIOUS
      “Tony Montana said that in the film Scarface. Point it at me.
      “But I am the bad guy because I’m getting that boot up the backside and down the road, gone.
      “Because they’re not relevant to his job. Or he’ll get beat. He needs to work, like we’re working in here.
      “One-to-one, a select few people around him who he can trust and work and work again.
      “And get it all right and shed blood, snot and tears in the gym. And I don’t see him doing that today.”
      John reckons Tyson’s unorthodox skill set has suffered as a result of his poor training, saying: “I watch him in America doing a minute on the pads and being talked to afterwards.
      “You know what they’ll do: they’ll do a minute’s work and talk for two minutes.

      “And I’ve witnessed it firsthand and I’ve thought to myself, ‘You know what? This ain’t making sense to me.’
      “And he’s sort of lost his bit of movement that he had, for my money.
      “He used to be elusive, he used to be awkward, coming at you from all different styles. He’s gone a bit one dimensional.”

      Fury, however, was also enjoying the many delights Sin City has to offer during his time Stateside.
      And John can’t help but think his son is being led astray by people only interested in furthering their own careers.
      He told BT Sport: “He’s out there and he’s not under the watchful eye, he’s around all these yes men when he gets out.

      REGRESSED
      Prior to the birth of baby Athena, Fury had resumed preparations for his third clash with Wilder under the watchful eye of his no-nonsense dad.
      And the WBC champ’s old man believes his skill set has regressed somewhat.
      He said: “I watch him in America doing a minute on the pads and being talked to afterwards.

      Floyd Mayweather drops $18M on Miami mansion with private dock & outdoor theater

      by

      BOXING superstar Floyd Mayweather lived up to his nickname as “The Money” – paying $18million for a Miami Beach waterfront mansion.Mayweather took ownership of the three-story Palm Island palatial last week.

      It boasts amenities like a 5,000-square-foot roof deck, private dock, a game room, an outdoor movie theater and enough garage space to park a fleet of 10 cars.
      The retired boxer and promoter who is the highest earner and richest in the world landed the nine-bedroom, 10.5-bathroom estate for well under the asking price of $19.9 million, according to the Real Deal. 
      ‘MANY HOMES’
      Mayweather already commands a sizeable real estate portfolio. 
      A week ago, the man nicknamed “Money” snatched up a $10million Las Vegas spread. 
      Mayweather showed off the digs while standing on the edge of a backyard waterfall in a robe in an Instagram post. 
      He wrote: “At one of my many homes living a peaceful life.”
      Four years ago, he scooped up a $26million abode tucked behind the famous Beverley Hills Hotel which has a private 20-person cinema, cocktail bar and a separate guest house with it’s own gym.
      SELL THEN BUY
      But the 44-year-old was apparently in need of a Miami Beach address after he unloaded another house for $6.25 million taking a $1.5 million dive, according to the Post. 
      The home had most recently been rented by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
      Mayweather took ownership of the latest Florida spread which lies across the Biscayne Bay through a Nevada-based entity named Fojoso LLC, the Real Deal confirmed. 

      The purchase comes after Mayweather returned to the ring for an exhibition with YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul.
      The 26-year-old heavyweight lasted all eight rounds with the undefeated champ.
      Without a defining victory, Mayweather remained undeterred, claiming he hauled in a $100million purse for the “legalized bank robbery.”

      Tyson Fury’s wife Paris jokingly gives him chess board for birthday and warns don’t ‘get excited’ amid baby ‘miracle’

      IT’S a birthday Tyson Fury will remember more for the gift of life than “the game of skill” his wife Paris jokingly bought him.But the couple deserved a little light relief as new baby daughter Athena began her “miracle” recovery after she was “dead for three minutes”.

      Paris bought the Gypsy King a travel chess set, posting it on Instagram with the words: “Don’t get over-excited for a present this year. Love you.”
      World heavyweight champ Fury shared other 33rd birthday greetings, including from half-brother Tommy, the Love Island star who is also unbeaten as a boxer.
      But there were no overblown celebrations as the focus remains on Athena, who was put on ventilators after she was born on Sunday.
      Tyson and Paris’s sixth child is now off the breathing machines at Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
      And Tyson’s dad John attributes her improving condition to hero medics.
      He told BT Sport: “It’s been a bit of a white knuckle ride. We’ve had a lot to deal with.

      And the Gypsy King himself has kept fans informed of Athena’s situation.
