      Floyd Mayweather’s Brit stripper fiancee Anna Monroe ‘done’ with boxer after he’s seen hugging ex-girlfriend in New York

      by

      FLOYD Mayweather’s Brit “fiancee” has been telling pals she’s “done” with the boxer after he was pictured with his ex girlfriend Galienne Nabila in New York.The pair took a stroll around the Big Apple arm in arm while Money’s Brit-American fiancee Anna Monroe was over 2,500 miles away in Las Vegas.

      Now Anna, 29, is telling friends that she’s “totally done with him” and lashed out at him.
      A source said: “Anna is devastated because she thought they were going to get married and have a child – she feels like she gave him everything.
      “She’d even been going to see a wedding planner.
      “After seeing the pictures she lost it, she’s telling friends she is completely done with him.
      “She even called him a ‘tramp’ and accused Floyd of always hanging out with other women behind her back.”
      Mayweather proposed to Anna – lead dancer at his Las Vegas club Girl Collection – shortly after news of their relationship was revealed by The Sun in January.
      Anna posted pictures on Instagram shortly afterwards in which she sported a huge diamond ring – believed to be her engagement ring – on her left hand.
      Sources at the time claimed that the couple were hoping to try for a baby and may even wed by the end of this year.
      They were believed to have been seeing each other on and off for some months before they went official with their relationship on New Year’s Day – telling family and friends in the UK the news over FaceTime, according to a friend.
      Anna and Floyd, 44, were also pictured on holiday together in Greece and she could be seen giving him a lap dance in an exclusive video published by the Sun earlier this year.
      ASKED ANNA TO MOVE OUT
      However their relationship appeared to have cooled when the boxing legend asked her to move out of his $11million mansion so he could focus on preparations for his exhibition fight against Youtuber Logan Paul back in June.
      A source told The Sun in May: “Floyd asked Anna to move out because he wants to focus on his boxing as he prepares for his next fights.
      “Some of her friends think it’s strange because he lives in a huge mansion in Vegas with 11 bedrooms and two guest houses – so there’s more than enough room for him to have his own space, but Floyd wanted her to go so he could focus.
      “Floyd is getting back into boxing more and more – even though he has supposed to have retired.
      “So everything is being put on hold for the time being.
      “Anna has moved back into her old apartment. It’s been a stressful time for her but she is being understanding and she knows he is the one who calls the shots in their relationship.”
      Stunning social media star Gallienne, who boasts over 576,000 Instagram followers, dated Maywether back in 2019.
      The pair were snapped on New York’s iconic 5th Avenue, also known as Millionaire’s Row, and the model sported a huge diamond ring on her hand.

      They then got into one of the 50-0 champ’s three SUV’s before heading off in the convoy.
      Anna meanwhile posted a series of shots from the Red Rock Canyon in Nevada with the caption: “Love it here.”
      The Sun reached out to Anna and Floyd for comment.

      Floyd Mayweather cried on camera after 1996 Olympic Games loss and Bulgarian opponent went on to work in a supermarket

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER was reduced to tears after losing in the 1996 Olympics – which was the final time he ever tasted defeat. The future boxing legend had breezed into the semi-finals of the featherweight category in Atlanta.

      Mayweather was then matched up against Bulgarian Serafiv Todorov, who he appeared to comfortably outbox over the three rounds.
      So much so that the referee even raised his hand as the result was read out, only for everyone to be stunned as it went the other way.
      The arena then broke out into boos as Mayweather, only 19 at the time, failed to put the loss into words in the post-fight interview.
      He said: “I felt I won the fight.”
      The American was then asked whether he thought three-time champion Todorov was given preferential treatment.
      It is at that point Mayweather’s emotions got the better of him as he broke out into tears.
      The devastated prodigy – who gifted his grandmother his bronze medal – turned pro only two months after his Olympic heartbreak.
      Mayweather used the crushing loss as motivation to never be beaten again, once describing it as “one of the best things that ever happened to me”.
      And it proved pivotal in the pay-per-view king retiring 50-0, as a five-weight world champion and richest fighter of all time.

      But it was an entirely different story for his controversial conquerer Todorov.
      According to the New York Post, who detailed the eventual silver medalist’s career after the Atlanta Games, Todorov went on to live a modest life.
      He shared a first-floor flat in Bulgaria with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.
      His jobs have varied from working as a driver, in a supermarket and in a sausage factory, but later lived off £315 a month thanks to his pension.
      Mayweather wanted to see his former opponent take to coaching and was left with no hard feelings after his unjust defeat.
      He told ex-NFL star-turned sports pundit Shannon Sharpe in 2020: “I wish him nothing but the best.
      “I don’t know why he didn’t become a boxing trainer because at the time when we fought, he was already a lot older than I was.
      “I was fighting at the elite stage at 16. I wanted to turn pro at 14, but it never happened.
      “Five years later, I turned pro at 19. Within a year, I was a champion.”

      Paige VanZant vs Rachael Ostovich is most glamorous bare-knuckle fight in history with pair having 3.7m Insta followers

      by

      PAIGE VANZANT and Rachael Ostovich will renew their rivalry this weekend in the most glamorous fight in bare-knuckle boxing history.The former UFC flyweights will trade heavy leather again early on Saturday morning in the main event of BKFC 19 in Tampa, Florida.

      The pair, 27 and 30 respectively, locked horns with one another two-and-a-half years ago at UFC Fight Night 143 in Brooklyn.
      PVZ got the better of the Ostovich that night at the Barclays Center, submitting her with a second-round armbar.
      A lot has changed for both women since their first clash, and SunSport is on hand to give you the lowdown ahead of their second bout.
      UFC PAST
      Both VanZant and Ostovich were given their marching orders by the UFC in 2020.
      MMA’s leading promotion opted against offering VanZant a new contract following her submission loss to Amanda Ribas last July.
      Ostovich, meanwhile, was given the boot after her third-round TKO loss to Gina Mazany last November.
      VanZant left the UFC with a record of eight victories and five defeats to her name, while Ostovich’s stood at 4-6 after her December release.

      MONEYMAKERS
      VanZant has made a pretty penny following the expiration of her contract with the UFC.
      Not only did she sign a lucrative multi-fight deal with BKFC – who she claims pay her ten times more than what she earned in the octagon – she set up her own exclusive fan website.
      And she recently claimed she’s made more money selling racy snaps and images on her site – which he launched in February – than she did in any of her previous fights.
      She said: “I will say when I signed with BKFC, the bare-knuckle boxing, I was making more money than I had made in my entire UFC career.
      “Now I’m making more money than my entire BKFC contract in like a month. It’s pretty crazy.”
      Ostovich has also capitalised on the lucrative gig, launching her own member’s website in March.

      RACY SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
      As well as keeping fans updated with their training on social media, VanZant and Ostovich regularly use their social media accounts to post racy photos.
      Whether it be bikini pictures or photos from modelling shoots, the pair aren’t shy in sharing titillating snaps with their legion of followers.
      VanZant currently boasts a whopping 2.9million followers on Instagram, while Ostovich currently has just under 750,000.

      BARE-KNUCKLE MOVE
      BKFC moved quickly to snap up VanZant after it emerged the UFC would not renew her contract.
      The promotion handed the American Top Team standout a lucrative multi-fight deal, which kicked off with her February showdown with Britain Hart.
      VanZant came up short in her maiden BKFC outing, suffering a unanimous decision loss to veteran Hart.
      Ostovich, meanwhile, was signed by BKFC in April, although she’s not yet competed for the promotion.
      WHAT THEY’VE SAID
      VanZant is expecting her second clash with Ostovich to not in any way resemble their first fight, saying: “Going into this, it’s not a rematch because it’s a completely different style of fighting.
      “It’s bare-knuckle boxing, it’s not MMA… I’m not scared of how hard she hits because I’ve been hit by her before.”
      Ostoovich said of her second encounter with PVZ: “I did feel like I was the better striker in our last fight.

      “I went into that fight, I had a broken orbital going into that fight so I wasn’t trying to stand with her, so I kept taking her down.
      “There was a lot of grappling there.
      “When I looked back at my fight with her, I wish I could have stood up more. I am excited for this boxing match because it is just stand up.”

      Paige VanZant and ex-UFC rival Rachael Ostovich face off ahead of brutal bare-knuckle boxing clash

      VanZant and Ostovich, 27 and 30 respectively, faced off with one another at the final pre-fight press conference in the early hours of Thursday morning.
      The former opponents were cordial to begin with but quickly proceeded to give each other icy-cool stares.
      BKFC 19’s main event will be a rematch of VanZant and Ostovich’s clash at UFC Fight Night 143 in January 2019.
      PVZ got the better of Ostovich that night, submitting the Hawaain with a second-round armbar.
      In an interview with MMA Fighting, Ostovich said of their first clash: “I did feel like I was the better striker in our last fight.
      “I went into that fight, I had a broken orbital going into that fight so I wasn’t trying to stand with her, so I kept taking her down.
      “There was a lot of grappling there.
      “When I looked back at my fight with her, I wish I could have stood up more. I am excited for this boxing match because it is just stand up.”
      I never thought I would be part of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship promotionRachael Ostovich
      Ostovich, who was released from the UFC last December, inked a lucrative deal with BKFC in April but has yet to compete for the promotion.
      The idea of bare-knuckle boxing didn’t initially appeal to the Ultimate Fighter season 26 star, who admitted: “Honestly, I wasn’t really interested in it,
      “I was like, not for me. But I’m down. I’m actually excited to learn anything new.
      “We’re not wearing gloves, that is pretty crazy, but how much worse could it be? We’re fighting with four-ounce gloves already [in MMA].
      “I feel like as fighters, I don’t really focus on it. More just technique and training hard for this fight and coming out on top.”
      Ostovich never envisaged competing under the BKFC banner, saying: “It kind of just happened.
      “I never thought I would be part of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship promotion.

      “I really didn’t think I would ever do that, but they gave me Paige and I’ve been wanting that rematch, so I’ll take it however I can get it.
      She added: “I’m here for the journey and this is part of my journey.
      “I learned best on the job. I don’t regret anything. Everything happens for a reason and it makes me stronger.”

      Watch 21-year-old Anthony Joshua obliterate heavy bag with vicious flurry of power shots before rise to stardom

      by

      THROWBACK footage of Anthony Joshua before his rise to stardom has been posted by the heavyweight champ.Taken from 2010, when he was only 21-year’s-old and just three years into his amateur boxing career, it shows him obliterating a heavy bag with vicious flurries of power punches.
      Anthony Joshua uploaded throwback footage before rise to stardom obliterating a heavy bag
      The video was taken in 2010
      In the video, a young upstart AJ throws blistering combinations on the bag and pads, which was only a sign of things to come.
      It was the same year Joshua won the super-heavyweight ABA title – the most prestigious prize in English amateur boxing.
      It earned him a spot in the Team GB setup and within two more years the Londoner won gold at the 2012 Games.
      Also a gold medalist that year in the capital was Oleksandr Usyk, who won in the division below.
      Fast forward nine years and now they will face off for the WBA, IBF and WBO titles at Tottenham’s stadium on September 25.
      Joshua, 31, was ordered to fight mandatory challenger Usyk, 34, by the WBO, setting up the battle of Olympians.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “Olympic Gold vs Olympic Gold, unified world heavyweight champion vs undisputed cruiserweight world champion.
      “This one has it all and I can’t wait to stage this huge event in front of over 60,000 at the stunning Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.”

      Joshua added: “The date is set and we are fully locked in.
      “September 25, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, I put it all on the line again and it’s time to defend my crown.
      “We are two Olympic Gold medallists who have fought our way to the top and never avoided challenges. 
      “The stadium is exceptional, the atmosphere will be electric, I’m honoured to be the first person to fight in such an awe inspiring venue.
      “The stage is set and I am ready to handle business.”

      Logan Paul, 26, in talks to fight 46-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva in boxing match, YouTuber’s manager confirms

      by

      LOGAN PAUL is in talks to fight UFC legend Anderson Silva in a boxing match, the YouTuber’s manager confirmed. Paul is looking to return to the ring having just faced Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in June.

      Anderson Silva recently beat Julio Cesar Chavez JrCredit: Getty
      And he won a remarkable moral victory as Mayweather, 44, failed to score a knockout, meaning no winner was declared as it went the distance.
      Silva, 46, is also hot off an upset as he beat ex-boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 35, on points the same month.
      Before and after, the Brazilian great opened the door to fighting Paul, 26, or his younger brother Jake, 24, who is 3-0 all by KO.
      But it is the elder Paul most likely to face Silva, according to his manager Jeff Levin.
      However, it has not been decided whether the fight will be an exhibition, like was the case with Mayweather, or a pro bout, the same as Silva’s win over Chavez Jr.
      Levin told ESPN: “We just haven’t got there yet.”
      A leaked message shared by Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis, 27, recently claimed Paul would fight Silva in September in Dubai.
      Paul has only fought three times before, the first two against online rival KSI.

      They first drew in an exhibition in 2018 before Brit KSI, 28, won the rematch by scrappy split-decision when they turned pro a year later.
      So it came as a shock when Paul landed an unthinkable fight with Mayweather and even lasted the full eight rounds.
      But he did have a TWO STONE weight advantage over the retired boxing icon, which will not be the same with Silva.
      The ex-UFC middleweight king beat Chavez Jr at 182-pounds, which is still eight-pounds lower than Paul fought Mayweather at.
      SILVA SURFER
      Silva has boxed three times as a pro before, but recently returned to the ring for the first time since 2005.
      It came after he was released from the UFC on the back of three straight losses.
      Similarly, Tyron Woodley, 39, left the UFC after four consecutive defeats and will now fight Paul’s brother Jake on August 29.
      Jake will headline in his hometown of Cleveland in the biggest test of his boxing career to date.
      So far, he has only beaten YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 36.

      Watch Anthony Joshua sparring trick as he catches rival immediately after touching ankle in build up to Usyk fight

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA showed off a cheeky sparring trick as he touched his ankle before immediately landing a shot while training to fight Oleksandr Usyk. The unified heavyweight champion faces mandatory challenger Usyk on September 25 at Tottenham’s stadium.

      And having returned from a holiday in Spain, AJ’s training camp is now well underway at Team GB’s Sheffield HQ.
      In a recent video posted on his Snapchat, Joshua revealed some of his flair in the ring as he touched his ankle before throwing a jab.
      The move was eerily similar to one boxing legend Roy Jones Jr would have pulled off during his heyday.
      Joshua, 31, will need to pull out all his weapons against Usyk, 34, a former undisputed champion at cruiserweight.
      The heavyweight pair both won gold at the 2012 Olympic Games following successful amateur careers.
      Joshua was only ordered to fight Usyk by the WBO after his all-British unification bout with Tyson Fury collapsed.
      Fury, 32, was instead made to face Deontay Wilder, 35, once again after the American won his right to a trilogy bout in arbitration.
      It leaves AJ waiting even longer for his shot at heavyweight supremacy, but he warned Usyk poses just as much of a threat as anyone else.

      He told Sky Sports: “I’ve got another challenger who’s good, just as good. I have to be serious about him now.
      “He will definitely step up, he will definitely take the fight. That’s what I need – people that are serious.
      “I would have loved to have boxed for the undisputed championship because it was a big fight for the public. We had everything set up.
      “I have to move forward and not keep dwelling.”

      Joe Joyce revelling in role as British boxing’s lockdown star as Juggernaut sets sights on title shot vs Anthony Joshua

      by

      JOE JOYCE has staked his claim for British boxing’s lockdown break-out star.Last summer Joyce was a 10-0 prospect, frustrated by a year out of the ring and well outside of the heavyweight world title plans.

      The Juggernaut will be mandatory challenger for AJ’s WBO crown if he beats Carlos TakamCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      But the Putney Juggernaut then dispatched Michael Wallisch and Daniel Dubois — in high-risk, low-reward fights behind closed doors — and will be mandatory challenger for Anthony Joshua’s WBO crown if he beats Carlos Takam on Saturday.
      In contrast, AJ fended off Kubrat Pulev in December, had his heartbroken by the undisputed decider with Tyson Fury collapsing, and has to wait until September to fight again.
      And the Gypsy King’s terrible luck or judgment means he will have spent 20 months out of the ring IF he finally fights Deontay Wilder in October.

      Fans may be moaning but 35-year-old Joyce is not. He said: “I have been as active as possible in the lockdown and turned nothing down.
      “A lot of fighters chose not to fight without fans — it is a very different challenge — but I saw it as a chance to capitalise and am about to headline my third consecutive show inside a brilliant year.”
      He added: “When AJ was fighting Fury, I was getting the Oleksandr Usyk fight for perhaps the interim WBO title.
      “When that big English fight collapsed, it had a domino effect on me because now AJ has Usyk.
      “But instead of moaning or moping, I jumped on Carlos Takam and that will get me my title shot.
      I felt the Dubois win really gave me a big push, in terms of support, so I want to repay that by making these big fights happen, especially my eventual world title shotJoe Joyce
      “I hope I have kept the fans entertained, because they do seem to be a bit disappointed with the way things have gone.
      “I felt the Dubois win really gave me a big push, in terms of support, so I want to repay that by making these big fights happen, especially my eventual world title shot.”
      Joyce’s promoter, Frank Warren, is an Arsenal super-fan and wants a mega-fight between Joyce and old Team GB sparring partner AJ at the Emirates one day.
      The 2016 Olympic silver winner and childhood Gunners fan visited the stadium on Tuesday, posed with mascot Gunnersaurus, and confirmed it’s a dream destination.

      Joyce said: “I loved Ian Wright and David Seaman growing up, the glory days, and loved watching Thierry Henry.
      “Fighting at the beautiful, brand new stadium there would be amazing, especially for a world title.
      “Having the pinnacle happening at the home of my favourite football team would be very special.”
