      by

      Joshua will put his WBA, WBO and IBF belts on the line as Fury defends the WBC crown he snatched off Deontay Wilder last year.
      And as well as having the chance to unify the division, the pair are on course to make eye-watering money from the fight.
      According to ESPN, the site fee alone is worth £108m will be evenly split between the two, with some additional cash used to cover expenses and the undercard.
      That is almost treble the site fee for one of AJ’s fights against Andy Ruiz Jr.
      A deal to stage the fight in Saudi Arabia is yet to be finalised, but it is the most likely destination with a Wembley rematch later in the year.
      Fury’s US-based promoter Bob Arum told Boxing Scene: “We have [site deal] contracts now that we are marking up and so forth.
      “It’s a big step. We’re just doing the paperwork now with the Saudis.”
      And while the date is also unconfirmed, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed July 24 or early August are the best options – while Fury himself said it would be ‘in July’.

      He said: “They’ve signed the contract. We presented them both with an offer from a site, which they both approved and accepted.
      “We are dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s and you will get an announcement soon, but that fight is going to be happening this summer.
      “We haven’t finalised an exact date, July 24 is the rough date but it may leak into early August but no later than that. The Olympics will be a different timezone so it’s not really in the mindset.
      “It is one of the biggest of all time, probably the sporting event of 2021, so fingers crossed – we are nearly there.
      “I keep saying we are nearly there but, as I said, site approved, deal approved, everything done now.
      “We are just papering it and there will be an official announcement soon.
      “It is non-stop at the moment but it is happening, it is 100 per cent happening.”

      Jake Paul begins talks with Tommy Fury over blockbuster fight as Frank Warren confirms ‘easy’ 50-50 deal

      by

      JAKE PAUL and Tommy Fury’s boxing bout is on the cards after the YouTube star revealed talks are underway.The pair have trash talked each other over social media and they are both keen to face one another in the ring.
      Here is how Tommy Fury and Jake Paul match up against each other
      Jake Paul is still yet to fight a professional boxer but he welcomes the challenge of Tommy Fury
      And after Paul knocked out Ben Askren earlier this month it is a logical next step in his boxing career.
      Paul, 24, says there are talks for him to potentially fight Fury as his next opponent, via ESPN.
      And Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, backed up the comments, adding: “We wanna make the fight. It’s really easy – he takes 50 per cent, Tommy takes 50 per cent.
      “Let’s get it done.”
      Paul’s boxing record stands at 3-0 and after his most recent win he was called out by Fury and Paul agreed – on one condition.
      But the YouTuber stipulated that Fury’s elder brother, world champion Tyson, has to be included on the same card to fight 19-1 boxer Michael Hunter.
      So it seems Warren and Co have certain conditions to meet before a deal is thrashed out and a date is set for Paul vs Fury.

      Tommy Fury called out Jake Paul this month and is aiming to continue his undefeated record

      Fury last fought in February when he stopped Scott Williams at the Copper Box Arena, and he will be hoping to do the same to Paul after their war of words.
      Paul mocked Fury’s accent and said he looked like a ‘Ken doll’, prompting the Brit to don a blonde wig in response.
      A fight would be a natural conclusion as the pair clearly do not get on, and after this development it seems a bout is likely.

      Deontay Wilder returns to training gym more than 12-months after Tyson Fury defeat as heavyweight plots comeback fight

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER has returned to training more than 12-months after losing to Tyson Fury as he prepares for his comeback. The American, dethroned of the WBC belt in February 2020, was pictured with former heavyweight contender Malik Scott.

      Scott, 40, captioned the post: “@bronzebomber Great session tonight comrade, its game time.”
      Wilder knocked out the veteran American in 2014 but they formed a friendship afterwards.
      Once a sparring partner, Scott is now acting as part of the ex-champion’s coaching team.
      It comes after Mark Breland was fired from Wilder’s squad after he threw the towel in against Fury.
      Wilder was dropped twice by the Brit before his dominating defeat was brought to an end in round seven.
      Further misery followed as the contracted trilogy never came to fruition, with Fury’s side claiming the stipulation expired in October.
      Wilder, 35, is still fighting his case in court, while the Gypsy King, 32, prepares to face Anthony Joshua, 31, in a summer undisputed title decider.
      Having been axed from the Bronze Bomber’s camp, Breland came out swinging in a stinging attack on his former pupil.

      He told the Fight is Right podcast in February: “He’s got a lot of power but that’s all, I wish him well and that’s it.
      “He’s only got his power and we’ll see how far that takes him. That’s all I’m going to say.
      “I’d been working with him since he turned pro and nothing had happened until [the defeat].
      “Some people cant take a loss; don’t blame everybody else, go back and think about yourself.”

      Paul, 24, secured his third professional boxing win when he savagely KO’d Ben Askren in the first minute of round one.
      Fury tweeted “I’m ready to give the people what they want”, referring to a showdown with rival Paul.
      The feud began when WBC champ Tyson implored Paul to take on his younger brother.
      Speaking to ES News, Paul responded to Love Island star Tommy and laid down his demands.
      He said: “I’m going to plant the seed now.
      “Tommy Fury vs me and Michael Hunter against Tyson Fury on the same night.
      “Tommy is weak… and Tommy’s girlfriend [Molly-Mae Hague] DM’d me before they went on that reality show.”
      Light-heavyweight Tommy boasts an impressive pro boxing record with five wins from five fights, the last four all by knockout.

      Jake Paul is cutting no corners with his diet

      ‘The Problem Child’ Paul may have to step up a weight division from cruiserweight for the fight to happen.
      But the chances of Hunter getting in on the act to face Tyson appear slim – at least for now.
      The 6ft 9ins superstar, 32, is on course to fight Anthony Joshua this summer in the first part of their two-bout Battle of Britain deal.
      Fury’s WBC and The Ring crowns will be on the line while AJ will be defending his WBA, WBO and IBF belts in their quest to be named undisputed heavyweight champion.
      Hunter, 32, is due to face Filip Hrgovic for the right to become the mandatory IBF challenger.

      Watch ruthless Felix Cash batter Denzel Bentley in three rounds to claim British middleweight title in thriller

      by

      FELIX CASH snatched the British middleweight title from Denzel Bentley with a smash-and-grab round three stoppage.The 28-year-old put his Commonwealth belt on the line in his bid to add the Lonsdale to his haul and cashed out by stunning his Battersea rival early in their thrilling encounter.

      The first two rounds were terrific with plenty of quality, bottle and grit.
      But Bentley, 26, had his senses snatched away in the third, when he was pinned on the ropes, and had to be saved by the referee before he was battered to the floor.
      Bentley landed the first crisp jab of the opener but Cash crashed home the heavier punches.
      The Tony Sims-trained bruiser caught Bentley cold in a neutral corner and the Peacock Gym ace stiffened under a big shot.
      Bentley tucked up and weathered the storm but Cash stalked him for the rest of the session and scored, with an uppercut Bentley’s best response before the bell.
      Both fighters showed their offensive skills in the second, tagging each other with precision punches they had spent a lifetime practicing.
      Bentley’s movement and punch selection was more eye-catching but thicker-set Cash never stopped marching forward throwing thudding shots, most of which were legal.
      The fight then turned in a split second. Cash connected with a meaty right hand early on the third and Bentley was done.

      In an instant his hands dropped and his eyes drooped and the referee jumped in expertly before serious harm was done.
      Bentley contested and complained but for an agonising split second he was pinned against the ropes defenceless and could have been brutally harmed.
      The newly crowned champ said: “I stunned him in the first round and I knew I would stop him
      “He wasn’t as awkward as I thought he’d be.”

      GUESS WHO’S BACK
      Callum Johnson just reminded the world of his power and sent a warning notice around the 175lbs division.
      The Boston banger was clipped a couple of times as he blew off the cobwebs after two years out.
      But he remains a devestating puncher and a ruthless finisher.

      ROUND TWO – JOHNSON WINS KO
      Johnson looked like he might have that wrapped up in the first few seconds but Markic clipped him back and cut his left eye.
      A loud left hook from Johnson lands and Markic is dabbing and pawing at his broken face.
      Two hooks crack into Markic’s ribs but Johnson’s nose seems to be leaking some blood now too.
      Markic is hurt and pinned on the ropes getting battered. The ref jumps in to save the brave visitor!

      ROUND ONE
      Ominous entrance from Markic. Johnson much more jovial with Chesney Hawkes.
      Johnson with Joe Gallagher in his corner with the masterplan.
      Massive right hand from Johnson bangs Markic into the ropes but he is a hard geezer.
      Heavy-handed Johnson has already smashed a horrible bruise onto his rival’s left cheek.
      Johnson is stunned by a massive shot – somehow he stays up – crazy round!
      GORE-MAN
      David Adeleye has been calling Nathan Gorman out recently.
      It was actually the Nantwich man who suggested he beat Kamil Sokolowski first.
      And he has given his verdict…
      I stopped Kamil in me 4th fight at age of 19, 5 year ago.Great learning fight for anyone. He’s been robbed a few times mins as well— Nathan Gorman (@GormanBoxing) April 24, 2021

      HEART GROWS FONDER
      The forgotten man of the British light-heavyweight divison is back.
      Can Callum Johnson thrill fight fans again or have the likes of Anthony Yarde, Joshua Buatsi and Lyndon Arthur overtaken him?

      YEAR OVER
      Two years since his last fight, Callum Johsnon returns next.
      The 18-1 light-heavyweight makes his Frank Warren and BT Sport debut against Emil Markic who is a decent 32-2.
      What has the 35-year-old got left after his failed world title shot at Artur Beterbiev in 2018?
      Can he relaunch his career tonight?
      DAVID ADELEYE WINS
      It was tighter than expected.
      The ref called that 58-57.
      A great step-up and learning fight for the prospect but also a warning he has a lot of learning to do if he wants to challenge rivals like Nathan Gorman.
      ROUND SIX
      Sokolowski catches Adeleye with an accidental headbutt and Adeleye replies with a rabbit punch that gets a warning.
      Violent ending to the fight with both giants throwing bombs.
      Sokolowskere has given Adeleye hell in there but it could be the making of the 24-year-old.
      Expect a comfortable Adeleye decision win from ref Marcus McDonnell next
      ROUND FIVE
      Crisp jabbing from Adeleye but Sokolowski remains a threat and is not wilting.
      Sokolowski flicks a lazy jab and Adeleye clips him with a right hand.
      Great jab from the West Londoner rocks Sokolowski’s head back.
      Sokolowski is giving Adeleye great rounds here but the prospect needs to get the win more than the experience.
      ROUND FOUR
      Sokolowski is warned for rabbit punches and Adeleye finally gets his jab going in ones and twos.
      Sokolowsk lands a right hand and Adeleye proves his chin for the first time in his pro career.
      The round ends with Sokolowski pinning the Brit on the ropes again but Adeleye scoring the better shots.
      ROUND THREE
      Everyone in York Hall is urging Adeleye to jab more but he’s loading up on right hands.
      Heavy one-two from Adeleye scores but Sokolowski seems to like the punishment.
      Caroline Dubois and David Haye are both bellowing help to the Ladbroke Grove ace.
      ROUND TWO
      Sokolowski throws a double jab and adeleye clips back with a left hook.
      A right hand seems to wobble Sokolowski but he remains upright.
      Sokolowski is holding and grabbing and spoiling which is handy for Adeleye to experience but no good for us to watch.
      Sokolowski lands a left hook and fires into Adeleye’s body. Another good round.
      ROUND ONE
      Sokolowski has been in with Webb, Whyte and Nathan Gorman and is a bonafide gatekeeper.
      Adeleye is the red-hot new kid on the block.
      Sokolowski launches himself at the prospect and Adeleye enjoys his first bit of pro pressure.
      Massive right hand from Adeleye smashes into Sokolowski’s skull and bounces off.
      Another right loops in and cracks Sokolowski’s forehead but the Pole keeps coming until the bell.
      KAMIL SOKOLOWSKI vs DAVID ADELEYE
      West London’s Adeleye has promoter Frank Warren very excited but this is a massive step-up.
      Sokolowski has a KO win over Nick Webb on his record and has been in with the likes of Dillian Whyte.
      Can the 5-0 Portobello prodigy continue his assault on the heavyweight scene right now?
      PAGE TURNER
      Class southpaw Henry Turner gets every round against Clayton Bricknell.
      The ref scores it 60-54.
      The Showm,an is going to grow into another southpaw talent out of Al Smith’s ibox gym down in Bromley alongside Dennis McCann.

      RYAN GARCIA has cancelled his July 9 title defence against Javier Fortuna.The date for the fight was finalised earlier this month and was eagerly anticipated as it was set to be Garcia’s first defence of his WBC interim lightweight title.

      Former WBA super featherweight champion Javier Fortuna has 36 wins from 41 fights
      But the 22-year-old has withdrawn due to a desire to take care of his ‘health and wellbeing’, he announced on Instagram.
      Garcia wrote: “I know this news may be disappointing to some of my fans but I am announcing today that I am withdrawing from my July 9th fight.
      “At this time it is important to manage my health and wellbeing.
      “I have decided to take some time off to focus on becoming a stronger version of myself.
      “I hope to be back soon and am looking forward to stepping back into the ring when I am my healthiest self.

      Garcia became world champion in January when he defeated Britain’s Luke Campbell via technical knockout.
      WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney expressed a desire to fight Garcia and the decision to instead face Fortuna did not sit well with him.
      He told The DAZN Boxing Show this month: “Me and my team knew that Ryan Garcia was all cap. We knew that he didn’t want to fight me.
      “He didn’t want to fight Tank. He didn’t want to fight Manny Pacquiao.

      “Why fight for another mandatory when you could be fighting for a world title?”
      Haney will fight Jorge Linares in May as he seeks to defend his own world title belt.
