    Vasyl Lomachenko hints he will slash fight purse for second shot at Teofimo Lopez as he ‘only wants the legacy’

    Lopez completed his takeover of the lightweight division when he dominated Loma over 12 October rounds, to be crowned undisputed king of the 9st 9lbs class.
    The Ukraine king blamed that poor performance completely on a recurring shoulder injury and went under the knife again.
    For his return he ruthlessly picked an old Lopez foe to cut down for his comeback, demolishing the giant Japan fighter in round nine and dramatically overshadowing the 2019 points win Lopez managed against him.
    Despite suffering a deep gash to his forehead from a first-round head clash, Lomachenko hacked the towering Asian star down to size by flooring him in round five and then finished him.
    The two-time Olympic champion then said afterwards: “I’m happy because I won. 
    “All the strategies that we developed with my team worked.
    “I reached all my goals. I won and now I’m back on track.
    “Everybody saw how I won this fight, and everybody is waiting for the rematch with Lopez, so let’s make a rematch.”
    BETTING SPECIAL: GET ENGLAND TO BEAT GERMANY AT 14/1

    Since then there have been claims from Lopez’s team that Lomachenko may have to make concessions regarding his pay to seal that rematch.
    But ‘The Matrix’ does not seem to have any issues with that – claiming he is only interested in ‘the legacy’ rather than a pay packet.
    He said: “You ask me about money? A question for me?
    “I’ve always answered your question, I’ve always told – in boxing I only want the legacy, only legacy.”

    Problem Child had uploaded pictures of Conor McGregor, Kamaru Usman, Daniel Cormier, Ben Askren and Woodley and referred to them all as his ‘sons’.
    Paul’s post read: “As a father myself, today means a lot to me.
    “Even though they’ve all lost, my sons all have made me so proud.”
    But that remark did not go down well with his upcoming opponent Woodley.
    And the UFC star pointed out on Twitter that Paul had actually shared a snap of him from UFC 228 when Woodley was awarded a black belt after making Darren Till submit.
    He wrote: “Dummy that’s a pic of me getting a black belt after i smashed someone for a ufc one.

    Afterwards, American Hunt, who is 6-1 in BKFC and 3-5 in MMA, got in the ring to confront the newly crowned champion.
    But Lombard furiously reacted with a two-punch combination before security and his own opponent Riggs pulled them apart.
    The Cuban, 43, is now 3-0 in bare-knuckle, having last fought in MMA in 2018.
    He left the UFC after six straight losses, but was rival Bellator’s inaugural middleweight champ.
    Fellow veteran Riggs, 38, also fought in the UFC and Bellator, but left the cage in 2019.
    BKFC have a host of former MMA fighters on their roster, including Thiago Alves, 37, Paige VanZant, 27, and Chris Leben, 40.
    Now, Diego Sanchez, the first Ultimate Fighter winner, could also make the move to BKFC after first debuting in boxing.

    Sanchez, 39, said: “If I ever get into the BKB, yeah, it would be fun. I never really liked the gloves in the UFC anyway.
    “So, I think it’s better. You got to pick your shots. You got to be smarter. We got to probably do a boxing fight first, warm these hands up.
    “We’re going to see. We’re going to keep everything open.”

    Woodley, 39, goes into his clash with the social media star on the back of four consecutive losses – but is adamant he’ll put a beating on the cocksure Problem Child.
    When asked to make his prediction for the fight, Woodley told former UFC middleweight champ Michael Bisping: “I think [round] three.
    “First round sounds cocky, sounds dope, but I just know that if I’m fighting Tyron Woodley, everyone is going to tell him to cover up, weather the storm, clinch him, grab him, keep him away from you, stay at distance, watch out for the right hand.
    “I’ve got to set a couple traps, so I may need a round or two to set some traps, see what he responds to, and I think third round I should be able to clean up the deal.”
    Woodley has had to endure a barrage of trash talk from the younger Paul brother, who he faced off with earlier this month.
    And The Chosen One is relishing the opportunity to silence the former Disney star, who he reckons is being hyped up by his team.

    The Missouri mauler said: “At the end of the day, he’s going to get beat up.
    “He’s going to get knocked out.
    “Hopefully, it’s not too bad because what’s happening is, his people are gassing him up that he can win – he accepted this fight, and I was very surprised he accepted this fight.
    “They’re gassing him up, and they’re giving him that, ‘You’ve got the power, he’s old, he ain’t won a fight in a million years, you the younger, more hungry, he’s taking you lightly, you can beat him.’
    “They’re lying to this kid, and they’re gonna get him f***ed up.”
    Paul, 24, is 3-0 as a professional boxer following stoppage wins over AnEson Gib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren.

    The BJ Flores trained cruiserweight is brimming with confidence ahead of his clash with the MMA vet and reckons he’ll take out The Chosen One inside two rounds.
    He wrote on Instagram: “Tyron ran his mouth a little too much in the locker room when I knocked out his best friend Ben and earned himself a top spot on the Problem Child death list.
    “Tyron’s a seasoned striker who has fought the best MMA fighters in the world but will be dropped by a Disney teen star in 2 rounds.
    “Maybe this time Dana White will actually be a man of his word and put his money on his former champion instead of trying to undermine my success like a jealous ex.

    Floyd Mayweather boasts ‘I’m only person who can do fake fight and make $100m’ after ‘legalised sparring’ vs Logan Paul

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER claims to have pocketed a staggering £72MILLION for his boxing match with Logan Paul.The former five-weight world champion locked horns with the YouTuber in an eight-round exhibition earlier this month.

    Mayweather looked every bit his 44 years as he went the distance with the elder Paul brother, who he desperately tried to stop.
    But the Money man’s bank balance received a healthy top up after their Miami melee.
    Speaking after Gervonta Davis’ 11th-round KO of Mario Barrios, Mayweather told the media: “I’m the only person that can do a fake fight and get 100 M’s.
    “I could do legalised sparring and get 100 M’s.”
    Mayweather dubbed his clash with the social media star a ‘legalised bank robbery’.
    And he’s continued to refer to himself as a ‘bank robber’ nearly a month after the much-maligned fight.
    He asked Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe: “Am I the best bank robber?
    “Because I don’t know nobody in sports that’s my age and can still stick ’em up like that.”

    Despite making a pretty penny for his glorified ‘sparring’ session with Paul, former pound-for-pound king Mayweather is not sure he’ll take part in another exhibition.
    He said: “As far as me coming back in the sport of boxing, absolutely not.
    “As far as me doing an exhibition again probably not.”
    Paul, 26, turned in a better display than most boxing enthusiasts expected – including Mayweather.

    In his post-fight interview, the Olympic bronze medallist said: “I had fun.
    “You got to realise that I’m not 21 no more.
    “But it’s good to move around with these young guys, test my skills – just to have some fun.
    “[He was] a great level fighter. Strong, tough. He’s better than I thought he was.”

    Tyson Fury to ‘run over’ Deontay Wilder like an ’18-wheeler’ as Bronze Bomber will struggle to ‘adjust’ to pressure

    TYSON FURY will make good on his promise to run through Deontay Wilder like an ’18-wheeler’, according to Paulie Malignaggi.The WBC heavyweight champion will renew his rivalry with The Bronze Bomber on July 24 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

    Fan favourite Fury has vowed to turn in a repeat performance of his rematch with Wilder last February, in which he utilised relentless forward pressure to score a seventh-round TKO victory.
    And Malignaggi reckons The Gypsy King will successfully utilise the same tactic in his third clash with the American.
    The former two-weight world champion told iFL TV: “He’s big enough, he’s taller, he’s heavier, and he’s physically stronger.
    “People say, ‘He’s not a big puncher; how is he hurting Wilder?’
    “So when you’re being backed up and bullied, something psychologically clicks in you.
    “It’s like, wow, it’s like a boy being beaten up by a man. It psychotically brings you down.

    “Wilder may not have wanted to stop fighting in the last fight, and that shows the heart of a champion.
    “But he was also like a boy being beaten up by a man. He couldn’t stop that momentum of Fury.
    “Like Fury says, he’s going to be able to run over Wilder again.
    “I don’t see Wilder being able to adjust to that. I don’t see Wilder being able to prevent that from happening again.
    “To me, Fury already proved that he could outbox him in the first fight.
    “Then, in the second fight, he just ran him over. I think that’s the approach to take.

    Paulie Malignaggi reckons Tyson Fury’s pressure will be too much for Deontay Wilder to handleCredit: Getty
    “I think Fury was brilliant to realise that in round 12 of the first fight to where he realised, ‘If I back this guy up, he can’t fight me.’
    “I think it’s going to be the same way again.
    “I don’t want to underestimate Wilder, but we have seen him in twice with Fury and I don’t think he matches up well.”
    Wilder, 35, has brought in former foe Malik Scott to oversee his latest training camp and help add new tools to his arsenal.
    But Malignaggi believes the Olympic bronze medallist will be hard-pressed to fight Fury on the backfoot.
    He said: “I just don’t think he stylistically matches up with Fury. I don’t think Wilder fights going backwards really well.
    “For anybody that gives me the Szpilka knockout or [Luis] Ortiz knockout in the second fight, a step-back counter shot isn’t fighting going backwards.

    “I’m talking about a guy that is consistently backing you up, and your momentum now is taking you backwards and psychologically; you need to be in reverse mode fighting.
    “That’s what Fury does to you, and I don’t think Wilder knows how to fight like that.
    “There have been some really great fighters that didn’t know how to fight going backwards.
    “Sometimes it’s a matter of styles, and it’s a problem.
    “I think Wilder needs to believe his own hype in this situation between he lost his last fight.
    “So I think he needs to believe that there were reasons for it.”
