    Now his promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed the IBF version is next in his sights.
    American Plant has that strap, with the 28-year-old undefeated in 21 fights.
    Hearn has told the DAZNBoxing show that ‘talks will begin this week for Canelo vs Caleb Plant’.
    And the 41-year-old Essex promoter has named the new Allegiant Stadium in Vegas as a potential venue.
    Canelo is likely to want to fight on Mexican Independence weekend, so that fight could be pencilled in for September 18.
    Speaking after he delivered a brutal eighth-round uppercut to shatter Saunders’ dreams, Canelo said: “I have the best trainer, here’s Eddy [Reynoso], he tells me, I prepare, do this and I do it.
    “The plan is to go for the other belt [Caleb Plant owns], I’m coming. I hope so.”
    Canelo has not lost since a 2013 split decision defeat to the legend Floyd Mayweather.

    And Saunders was the latest in a long line of Brits to be obliterated by the Mexican.
    Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes, Amir Khan, Liam Smith, Rocky Fielding, and Callum Smith have all failed to trouble Canelo in the squared circle.

    Canelo holds three world titles as well as the Ring Magazine belt
    He wrote on his Facebook: “Thanks everyone for msg.

    Jake Paul claims UFC ring girls get paid more than fighters in Twitter dig at supremo Dana White

    JAKE PAUL has intensified his spat with Dana White by slamming how much the UFC chief pays his fighters.The two personalities have been at loggerheads for months with White not a fan of the YouTuber’s move into pro boxing.

    Dana White pays his ring girls more than his fighters🙃🤡— GOTCHA HAT (@jakepaul) May 11, 2021

    And he has also been angered by Paul calling for fights against various UFC stars – most notably Conor McGregor.
    Paul has now tweeted: “Dana White pays his ring girls more than his fighters” with a clown face emoji.
    It is a dig back from Paul after White previously said the social media star will never step foot in an octagon.
    When asked if he’d contemplate getting into the Paul business, he told the media at the UFC 261 post-fight press conference: “He ain’t fighting in the UFC.
    “You’re getting me talking about this f***ing guy again.”
    Paul, 24, is 3-0 as a professional boxer following TKO victories over AnEson Gib, Nate Robinson and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
    But the level of competition the former Disney star has faced has yet to impress veteran promoter White.
    The 51-year-old said: “He’s getting handpicked opponents and God knows what else is going with that whole f***ing thing.

    “That is not what I do. People want to see that and it’s great and this kid is going to make a couple of bucks before this ride is over.
    “It’s just not what I do.”
    Paul recently made headlines when he was involved in a scuffle with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
    Jake’s brother Logan will fight Mayweather in a boxing exhibition – but Jake won’t be there after he was BANNED from attending after stealing The Money’s hat at the pre-fight presser.

    ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury are training for their HUGE heavyweight world title fight.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn says the fight will be taking place on either August 7 or 14 in Saudi Arabia with the big announcement now imminent.
    Joshua’s WBA, IBF and WBO titles are on the line with Fury’s WBC championship in a massive unification showdown.
    We’ll be bringing you ALL of the latest developments on the bout plus all of the news from the world of boxing right here…
    BILLYONAIRE
    Billy Joe Saunders reportedly pocketed a whopping £5.5million from his defeat by Canelo Alvarez.
    The Athletic claims the British super-middleweight left Dallas with a wad of cash on Saturday despite being stopped in eight rounds.

    FURIOUS ONE
    Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua as a ‘big ugly dosser’ after his rival blamed him for failing to reach an agreement over their undisputed bout.
    Both men agreed a site deal last month, with the contest to be held in Saudi Arabia in August.
    And Joshua tweeted his frustrations over the hold-up, as he told the WBC champion he wants to see ‘less talk, more action’.
    “Spartan,” the 31-year-old wrote aimed at the Gypsy King.
    “I’m tired. My fans are tired. Your fans are tired. We’re all tired of the talk. Less talk. More action!”
    To which Fury, 32, hit back by commenting: “Come get some then you big ugly dosser???? YOUR (sic) NO TALK NO ACTION.”
    WHYTE NOISE
    Dillian Whyte has blasted Tyson Fury as ‘all mouth’ and a ‘coward’ for not stepping in when Billy Joe Saunders’ dad was shoved by security.
    As Saunders’ fight against Canelo was waved off with the Brit suffering a broken eye socket, worried dad Tom decided he needed to check on his son, and leapt over the barrier.
    Wearing a blue cap, Tom was then shoved forcibly backwards by a security guard, before others joined in to help Saunders Sr.
    One person who decided to stay out of the brawl was Tyson Fury.

    TYING FOR ATTENTION
    Exclusive by Amanda Devlin: Tommy Fury was left in his boxing brother’s shadow as girls flocked around the Gypsy King in Miami.
    Female fans of the WBC heavyweight champion, 32, appeared to have no idea who the reality star was as they slathered Tyson with suntan lotion by the pool.
    Tommy, 22, awkwardly stood behind his older brother as the women laughed and joked with the sportsman.
    He glanced down at his phone as Tyson – who was wearing a Versace robe – took one of the woman’s hand as he lapped up the attention.

    MEDIA WARS
    Tyson Fury took a swipe at Anthony Joshua’s most recent tweet amid ongoing talks of an imminent clash between the two heavyweights.
    Fury and Joshua have been linked with an impending undisputed heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia this summer.
    AJ urged The Gypsy King to agree to the terms for their £175million mega-fight as he called for less talk and more action.
    Fury gave the following response:

    TALE OF THE TAPE
    Here’s how the two juggernauts of British boxing shape up…

    MORE FROM HEARN
    Eddie Hearn is ‘comfortable’ about the funds after staging Anthony Joshua’s rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia.
    He told Sky Sports: “I wasn’t just intending to take a punt on it.
    “It’s a lot of money and we’ve done this before. We did the Andy Ruiz fight in Saudi Arabia.
    “We know the magnitude of the people we are dealing with. We’re probably a little bit more comfortable than they are, because they are new to this, and I get that, so we have to make them comfortable.
    “Of course financially we need to make sure that everything is in order, everything is secure.”
    BRIT BUSTER
    Eddie Hearn has expressed his hope that the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury super-fight will finally be confirmed this week.
    He told Sky Sports: “There’s no reason why it shouldn’t happen this week. This is kind of like the moment where you could actually turn around at this point and say, ‘This is dragging on too long, or I can’t be dealing with this anymore.’
    “But we have to nail this, and I’m not going to stop until I nail it, and everyone has just got to move forward collectively.
    “We’re ready to go from our side. We’re not far away from their side and it is inevitable, but at the same time, we’ve got to close the door on it.”

    FURY-OUS
    Eddie Hearn has admitted that Anthony Joshua’s public outburst at Tyson Fury have been down to frustrations that the fight is yet to be confirmed.
    He told Sky Sports: “I saw the tweets from AJ. He’s tired, the fans are tired, and everyone is tired.
    “We’re in a stage where people are getting frustrated. The deal is done.
    “Now we’re on the finer details of the contract, which came back last Friday. It went back last night. They are on calls now in the office about it, and I think at some point people are going to have to take a little bit of a leap of faith in this deal.
    “From our perspective and AJ’s perspective, we’re ready to go. From Tyson Fury’s perspective, they’ve got a couple of lawyers across it from their point.
    “The tweet from AJ last night was, ‘Come on, less talk, more action. Let’s get this done!'”
    NO JOSHING
    Anthony Joshua’s undisputed heavyweight showdown against Tyson Fury is set to be staged in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14.
    He told Sky Sports: “I think it’s a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi Arabia. To be honest with you, I don’t mind giving you that information. Bob Arum [Fury’s US promoter] has already done it.
    “It’s the same people that we did the deal with Andy Ruiz [rematch]. That event was spectacular.
    “As partners, they were fantastic as well. We’re very comfortable. Anthony is very comfortable, he knows those people. They’ve delivered on every one of their promises last time. We’re ready to go.
    “That’s going to be the date. Of course you’ve got the Olympics finishing on August 7th, so in terms of a global spectacle, it would make sense to go on the 14th. That’s one of the things to tick off in the next, hopefully, few days.”
    OIL BE BACK
    Exclusive by Jessica Gibb: Tyson Fury was lapping up the female attention in Miami as he took a break from training with his little brother Tommy.
    The WBC heavyweight champion happily let female fans slather him all over with suntan oil as they got hands-on with the Gypsy King.

    FURIOUS STATEMENT
    Tyson Fury has always been confident he can beat Anthony Joshua in a fight.
    Fury believes it will be as easy as cutting down “like a hot knife through cheese”.
    The undefeated boxer previously told No Passion, No Point podcast: “I will cut Anthony Joshua down like a hot knife through cheese.
    “That’s how easy it’s going to be. That’s how easy it’s going to be”

    RECORD
    Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to face off in August in the Middle East.
    This makes for a massive fight based not only on on each fighter’s star status but also their win-loss record.
    Fury hasn’t lost any of his 31 professional fights, with his only blemish coming in a controversial draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018, a fight many believed he won.
    Joshua, on the other hand, has a record of 24-1, with his only defeat coming in shocking fashion at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019
    FURY VS JOSHUA
    Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s imminent mega-fight is expected to be the first in a two-fight deal, with the second bout expected to take place at the end of 2021.
    Fury and Joshua are expected to lock horns in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14.
    It has also been reported that the bout could generate as much as £500million, with the two fighters agreeing a 50/50 split.
    Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “That fight [Joshua vs Fury] is done and you’ll get an announcement very soon”
    REACHING OUT
    Tyson Fury revealed he’s pulled out of fights in the past due to mental health problems.
    This comes after Ryan Garcia withdrew from a scheduled bout against Javier Fortuna last July because he wanted to focus on his mental health
    Fury told The Athletic: “Mental health’s a real struggle. I’ve struggled with it all my life, I know how real it is.
    “And you would never expect a man to go into a fight who is suffering from mental health problems.
    “I’ve actually pulled out of fights before myself because of mental health issues and I know plenty of fighters who have as well.
    “So, it’s a real disease. Just because you can’t see it physically, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s so, so real and it’s a silent killer.
    “So many people out there at the moment are suffering from mental health struggles, especially within the pandemic.
    “I feel sorry for these guys, but you know what, guys: There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to reach out and grab help, and everything will get better eventually, I promise”
    SPREADING JOE
    Tyson Fury showed his support to Billy Joe Saunders after his brutal loss to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
    Saunders suffered some serious facial injuries during the fight and so his trainer threw in the towel before the ninth round.
    Fury took to Twitter where he shared a picture of himself wearing a Team Saunders shirt.
    Here’s what he posted:

    FURIOUS EXCHANGE

    IT’S ON!
    The highly-anticipated heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is set to take place in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14!
    That is according to promoter Eddie Hearn, who confirmed that both boxing superstars will clash for all four heavyweight belts in the Middle East.
    Hearn said: “That fight [Joshua vs Fury] is done and you’ll get an announcement very soon.”
    He also stated that both men are happy to trust the Saudis because they already ‘delivered on every one of their promises’ for Joshua’s fight against Andy Ruiz in 2019

    Saunders put in a brave effort against Canelo but the Mexican was in the driving seat for most of the fight.
    And a brutal uppercut saw Saunders suffer FOUR breaks in the bones around his eye, forcing his corner to throw in the towel.
    Saunders has since undergone successful surgery to repair the damage done by Canelo.
    But he won’t be too disappointed upon his return home after reportedly picking up a tasty purse.
    Canelo has since claimed the fight was ‘easy money’ after meeting promoter Eddie Hearn in his dressing room.
    But Saunders has vowed he will be back once he’s fully recovered.
    Saunders wrote on Facebook: “Thanks everyone for the messages.
    “Broken eye socket and broken cheekbone in three places.

    Dillian Whyte rips ‘coward’ Tyson Fury for reaction to Billy Joe Saunders’ dad getting shoved by security at Canelo bout

    DILLIAN WHYTE has blasted Tyson Fury as ‘all mouth’ and a ‘coward’ for not stepping in when Billy Joe Saunders’ dad was shoved by security.As Saunders’ fight against Canelo was waved off with the Brit suffering a broken eye socket, worried dad Tom decided he needed to check on his son, and leapt over the barrier.

    Wearing a blue cap, Tom was then shoved forcibly backwards by a security guard, before others joined in to help Saunders Sr.
    One person who decided to stay out of the brawl was Tyson Fury.
    Wearing a Versace shirt the 6ft 9in 19st-plus WBC heavyweight champion of the world stayed behind the barrier and appeared to be begging for calm.
    But Whyte was NOT impressed, and slammed the Gypsy King for not stepping in and protecting Saunders Sr.
    Whyte shared the video clip of the brawl happening, and wrote: “@Tyson_Fury is a coward how can you stand by and watch @bjsaunders_ father get treated like this and you didn’t jump the barrier and at least try to stop them man handling him.
    “You are a coward all mouth #fightingman #ALLMOUTH.”
    It’s not the first time Whyte has labelled Fury a ‘coward’, having angled for a fight against his fellow Brit for some time.
    After his revenge mission against Alexander Povetkin, Whyte is back into the mandatory position with the WBC – the belt Fury ripped off Deontay Wilder.

    But with Fury all set to face WBA, WBO and IBF champ Anthony Joshua on either August 7 or 14, Whyte looks once again to be out in the cold.
    He waited over 1,000 days as the WBC’s mandatory to get a shot at Wilder, before seeing Fury beat the American and then having his own disaster as he was KO’d by Povetkin.
    But Whyte got his revenge against Povetkin in March as he once again waits for his world title shot.

    And 3-0 Paul decided to take on four ‘huge humans’ in Gronkowski’s sports-mad brothers in preparation, with gridiron star Rob reffing.
    Paul told TMZ: “I’m f**king 6ft 2in, 200 pounds and I go in there and all of Rob’s brothers are towering over me.
    “They’re all taller than me vertically, they’re all wider than me horizontally… these are huge humans.
    “Honestly, I walked in and I was like. ‘Alright, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna kick their a** but I cannot get hit obviously.’
    “They don’t know how to box but they got some power and if they hit me, that could be it, man!”
    Glenn, Dan, Chris played in the NFL, while Gordie was a baseball star.
    And all four even received some pro boxing training from legends Winky Wright and Antonio Tarver.
    Paul went on to say Gronkowski would have have a real shot of making it as a pro boxer if he decided to become ‘Gridiron Mike’.

    🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?

    The YouTuber said: “Anyone with Rob’s height and size and power… if he just dedicated himself to it, then yeah [he could make it as a boxer].
    “[Rob] pulled me off his brothers once or twice, and I was literally like ‘Holy f***, this guy is strong, dude.
    “I was like bro, he tossed me. I felt powerless.”
    But for now Gronkowski seems happy just to referee, chiming in: “I was the official referee… and good thing I was the official referee.
    “My referring skills were pretty legit, 12 out of 10!”
    Earlier this week, Paul confirmed he would pocket a staggering £14million for his June 6 fight in Miami with 44-year-old Mayweather.
    That means he will receive less than a fifth of Money’s reported purse, which is said to be a lucrative £72m.

    The American’s clash with Paul will not go down on his professional record as it is an exhibition.
    In the first press conference for the fight last week, Mayweather and Logan’s brother Jake – who is a 3-0 pro boxer – became involved in a brawl.
    Jake grabbed Mayweather’s hat off his head, an act which prompted Mayweather to try and retaliate, but the melee of people managed to break it up.
    On the altercation, Logan said: “When you have a guy with the resources and the wealth that Floyd Mayweather has and the connection and the network and he’s saying s***, ‘I’mma kill that motherf***er’ – kill? Death?
    “You’re gonna kill my brother over a f***ing hat? Yo, we take that s*** seriously man!”
    Mayweather has also been linked with a fight against Jake after he takes on Logan.
