      Luke Campbell has to leave family at Christmas as he looks forward to Ryan Garcia cracker in January

      by

      FATHER CHRISTMAS Luke Campbell has cancelled his big day to secure a ‘fistive’ end to a miserable 2020.
      Hull’s 2012 Olympic hero lost most of the year waiting for a third lightweight world title crack, only for the pandemic to ruin his April bid for the WBC crown.

      But Campbell, 33, saved his season with a high-profile shot at new Mexican-American golden boy Ryan Garcia — for the interim belt — on January 2.
      The bad news is the dedicated daddy of schoolboys Leo and Lincoln — and three-month-old baby son Levi — has to jet out to Dallas in the next 72 hours, ending his hopes of a dream Christmas day.
      He told SunSport: “It is hard. But I have to keep reminding myself that what I am doing is all for my family.
      “I want to be a world champion for me, I have to be selfish in how I live my life.

      “But the extras that come with being a world champion are for my family, so they will be secure and free to find much easier jobs than being punched in the face for a living!
      “I have been away in camp for so many months now, it was only during the first lockdown where I got some time at home, so at least now I know the light is coming at the end of the tunnel.”
      Campbell’s first world title failure took place in California in 2017, where he felt Jorge Linares got generous decisions from the two American judges, who outnumbered the Brit official who had Campbell winning.
      This time, back in the US against their latest 22-year-old sensation, Campbell knows — like Callum Smith last night against Canelo Alvarez in Texas — that the odds are stacked against him.

      Campbell said: “I try not to think about whether I need a knockout or stoppage. But I would be kidding myself if I did not think it has to be convincing.
      “All I can do is try to keep it out of the judges’ hands.”
      Garcia is 20-0, but Campbell added: “I will find him out. Unless he really is this unbelievable talent and has been dedicated for his whole life — like I have — I will be coming back with a win and I will go on to become world champion.”

      by

      In seven one-sided rounds the Kazakh floored the Pole four times before securing a big KO win.

      HIT HIGH
      Callum Smith intends to make his height advantage count in his bout with Canelo Alvarez.
      The 6-foot-3 Brit stands seven inches taller than his opponent with the pair to set to clash at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
      But Smith will not be underestimated the threat posed by Alvarez.
      Ahead of the fight Smith said: “It’s hard because he’s boxed so many different styles, and he’s shown that he can do a bit of everything.”

      HISTORY MAKER

      RECORD SETTER
      Gennady Golovkin successfully defended his IBF middleweight title for a RECORD 21st time, cruising to victory against Kamil Szeremeta.
      The Kazakhstani sealed the win in the seventh round via technical knockout, surpassing former middleweight Bernard Hopkins’ title defence record.
      Golovkin’s record now stands at 41-1-1, and he wants to complete the trilogy against Canelo Alvarez, the only man to get a draw and win against him.

      HISTORY MADE
      Last night’s win was Gennadiy Golovkin’s 21st middleweight title defence, a new record.

      SOME RECORD
      Last night’s victory takes GGG’s record to 41 career wins, and the possibility of a third super fight with Canelo Alvarez.

      GOL OF DUTY
      GGG says he is absolutely open to facing the winner of tonight’s fight between Canelo Alvarez and Callum Smith.
      The Kazakh has already fought Canelo twice, being controversially adjudged to have only drawn the first bout by judges despite appearing to dominate, and then losing the second on points.
      And he said:
      “Absolutely I am open for anybody. Just best opponent for me, for business, for DAZN for people, for friends, I am ready.
      “We will wait for tomorrow, I hope tomorrow is great event. The best, who wins? The best. I am open.
      Predicting a winner of Canelo vs Smith, GGG said: “Fans! Absolutely fans!”

      REPORT
      GGG enhanced his case as the greatest middleweight champion of all time after defending his crown for a record breaking 21st time.
      The Kazakh legend wasted no time in getting down to business in Florida, as he peppered 31-year-old Szeremeta with jabs.
      It set the champion up beautifully with his power shots, and just before the bell sounded to end the round, Triple-G scored the first knockdown of the night.
      He had Szeremeta hurt with a body shot before following up with a left hook that forced his man to the deck.
      Szeremeta managed to survived the scare but again tasted the canvas in round two after a massive right hook bounced off his face.
      But GGG was still unable to find the finish as he put on an early beating.
      In the third, Golovkin took his foot slightly off the pedal in terms of power punching, but still pressured the whole round.
      He came out firing in the fourth and after closing the distance, a short, chopping left uppercut through the guard put Szeremeta on his backside once more.
      But the unfancied underdog proved his resilience as he was forced to take cover following a barrage of body shots and hooks to the head.
      The writing was on the wall all the way till round seven, as GGG mixed up his attacks and levels, which proved almost impossible to defend against.
      And it was all too much in the seventh, when a double jab decked a hapless Szeremeta, who was on the end of a masterclass.

      RECORD BREAKING

      HIGHLIGHTS

      BIG HEARNER
      Promoter Eddie Hearn says: “Gennady is the boss. Gennady’s earned the right to decide who he wants to fight.
      “Of course, we saw an incredible two fights with Canelo Alvarez.
      “If the third fight presents itself, if it makes sense for Gennady, if it makes sense for Canelo.. he’s got a tough fight with Callum Smith tomorrow night.”

      THE CHAMP IS HERE
      GGG confirms he is open to facing the winner between Canelo and Callum Smith – who fight tomorrow.
      Golovkin adds: “Absolutely I am open for anybody. Just best opponent for me, for business, for DAZN for people, for friends, I am ready.
      “We will wait for tomorrow, I hope tomorrow is great event. The best, who wins? The best. I am open.
      Predicting a winner, GGG said: “Fans! Absolutely fans!”

      THE CHAMP IS HERE
      Golovkin says: “I come back, I told you I come back.
      “Right now I showed this time I was very quiet, very comfortable, I think it’s smart work.
      “Kamil Szeremeta, he is great boxer, but I feel very comfortable because I have a lot of time, a lot of good people with me, this, I’m very proud of my team.”

      THE FIGHT IS OVER
      The referee waves off the fight!
      It comes after FOUR knockdowns but Szeremeta just kept getting up. The right decision was to stop it there.
      GGG makes a record breaking 21st middleweight title defence.

      ROUND 7
      Golovkin comes out swinging with heavy right hands.
      Szeremeta is dropped for a FOURTH time after a double jab by GGG.
      Here comes the champion looking for the finish… Szeremeta again survives but it’s not looking pretty.

      ROUND 6
      Right hook to the body and then upstairs lands for GGG – who had taken his foot of the gas a little.
      Quiet round for the champion, who threw less punches.
      Szeremeta’s is struggling to withstand these constant body shots.

      ROUND 5
      GGG mixing up his punches to head and body, almost impossible to defend against.
      The two come together and Golovkin still hammers Szeremeta with three left hands while tied up in a clinch.
      Szeremeta makes it through the round but it’s proving a matter of when not if now…

      ROUND 4
      GGG really letting his hands go here. Looking for hooks over the top.
      Third knockdown for GGG as Szeremeta is dropped with an uppercut.
      The champion is going looking for the KO, attacking body and head.
      Golovkin can’t get the finish but Szeremeta is skating on thin ice.

      ROUND 3
      Battle of jabs here in round three.
      Szeremeta may have recovered but he can do nothing more than back up and defend.
      Big uppercut lands and a right follows with it. Total domination from GGG.

      ROUND 2
      GGG walking forward and looking to land the left hook.
      The champion feels he has Szeremeta hurt, forcing him to defend.
      Big right hand again floors Szeremeta who is rocked and needs to hold on.

      ROUND 1
      Golovkin was controlling the action with his jab but a left hook right at the end dropped Szeremeta.
      The challenger recovered well but it was a heavy shot.

      ROUND 1
      GGG wasting no time in pumping out his spiteful jab.
      Golovkin throwing his right hook but not fully committing as he just gages his range.
      Big body shot lands for GGG and he follows it up with a left hook dropping the challenger!

      HERE WE GO!
      The first bell has sounded.
      GGG’s record breaking 21st middleweight title defence.

      Jake Paul has no ‘f***ing chance’ of beating Conor McGregor team-mate Dillon Danis in street fight, says Joe Rogan

      by

      JAKE PAUL doesn’t have a hope in hell of beating Dillon Danis in a street fight, according to UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
      The outspoken YouTuber – who scored a viral KO of former NBA star Nate Robinson last month – has been gunning for a boxing match with Danis for well over a year.

      Jake Paul gatecrashed Dillon Danis’s interview with Brendan Schaub and pelted with water balloons

      Dillon Danis tried to get his hands on Jake Paul but was unable to

      Paul – the younger brother of fellow YouTube star Logan – upped the ante earlier this week by gatecrashing the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace’s interview with former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub and pelting him with water balloons.
      Danis – a team-mate of former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor – attempted to confront Paul but was unable to do so as the ex-Disney told the driver of the car he was in to ‘dip’.
      And Rogan believes Paul would’ve been in a world of trouble if the Marcelo Garcia black belt managed to get his hands on him.
      During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, the 53-year-old said: “Dillon Danis ran up to him and he sped away. Why didn’t he get out and fight him?”

      He added: “Let me tell you something, Dillon Danis gets ahold of you, you’re either getting your arms broken, you’re neck strangled off – your head’s going to get popped like a zit—[or] he’s going to rip your knees apart.
      “There’s not a f**king chance in the world [Paul would beat Danis in a street fight].
      “Dillon Danis is a world-class grappler. Top of the food chain.”
      A few days after his drive-by antics, Paul took his feud with Danis to the next level by FaceTiming the Bellator star’s girlfriend – Savannah Montano – and posting video footage of the call on social media.

      How Logan Paul and little brother Jake compare
      That prompted a scathing rant from Montano, who said: “I’m dead confused at some of you guys going, ‘Oh, but why did you answer his call?’
      “As if I have his f**king number saved in my phone! It was literally a random number. You can literally see in the video, I’m like, ‘Who is this?’
      “And as soon as I see his face I’m, like, ‘Eww, what the f? Like, stop, stop, stop, I’m literally f’ing nauseous, like, I’m gonna go throw up right now, like, ugh.'”
      She added: “I just wanna say that everybody that’s not Jake Paul’s 12-year-old fans can clearly see that he’s just a f**king loser, and I don’t know how he got my number.

      “That s**t’s embarrassing, and I don’t wanna be associated [with it]. It’s f**ked up that I’m being used as a pawn in this bulls**t.”
      Despite doing his utmost to antagonise Danis, Paul’s sights are firmly set on a showdown with McGregor, who he recently launched a scathing attack on.
      He said: “What the f**k is up you Irish c**t? Good morning Conor McGregor.
      “I know you’re probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now or maybe you’re j***ing off as you’re sick of f***ing your wife, I mean, she’s a four [out of ten], Conor you could do a lot better, but happy Monday!

      “My team sent you a $50 million offer this morning, $50 million cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you’ve ever been offered.
      “But you’re scared to fight me Conor. You duck me as you’re scared to fight a YouTuber.
      “You’re 0-1 as a boxer, I’m 2-0 as a boxer. I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history.
      “But you want to fight Dustin Poirier, who has less followers on Instagram than my f***ing dog, that’s a fact.

      Jake Paul called out by ex-UFC star Yoel Romero after X-rated rant at Conor McGregor as he targets 2021 fight

      by

      FORMER UFC middleweight Yoel Romero has called out Jake Paul, challenging the YouTuber to try and retire him.
      Ex-Disney star Paul has been in the headlines ever since his brutal second-round KO victory over Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr.

      Jake Paul recently called out former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor

      Paul – the younger brother of fellow YouTube star Logan – has called out several high-profile fighters since the win, most notably former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor.
      McGregor has yet to respond to the 23-year-old’s call-outs or the direct message he received from him on Instagram.
      Paul’s brashness over the last few weeks hasn’t gone unnoticed by Romero, who was recently released from the UFC.
      And the Bellator new-boy has issued a message to ‘The Problem Child’.

      During an Instagram Live broadcast, the Cuban said: “I think this guy; he’s talking a lot. He’s a YouTuber guy. I am old, but I have experience. Maybe he’s training good and maybe he can beat me.
      “Maybe he can retire me. You know? Maybe. But he needs to try.”
      Romero, like many others, believes Paul – who only has two professional boxing matches to his name – is running his mouth.
      The 43-year-old added: “He’s talking too much. No running like Izzy (Israel Adesanya) come to me and fight with me.

      “And now that people can see you the best. You can do everything what you say, John Paul (Jake Paul).”
      Romero finished the call-out with his signature catchphrase, saying: You know what? I love you, see you soon, John Paul (Jake Paul), see you soon.”
      If Romero is indeed eager to face Paul, he’ll face an uphill task to land the fight as the YouTuber’s sights are firmly set on a lucrative clash with McGregor.
      Paul launched a blistering rant at The Notorious earlier this week, claiming to have sent the Irishman a £37million (£50m) offer and making derogatory comments about his wife.

      He said: “What the f**k is up you Irish c**t? Good morning Conor McGregor.
      “I know you’re probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now or maybe you’re j***ing off as you’re sick of f***ing your wife, I mean, she’s a four [out of ten], Conor you could do a lot better, but happy Monday!
      “My team sent you a $50 million offer this morning, $50 million cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you’ve ever been offered.
      “But you’re scared to fight me Conor. You duck me as you’re scared to fight a YouTuber.

      “You’re 0-1 as a boxer, I’m 2-0 as a boxer. I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history.
      “But you want to fight Dustin Poirier, who has less followers on Instagram than my f***ing dog, that’s a fact. And Dana White, you’re a f***ing pussy, you ugly f***ing bald bitch.
      “You said there’s zero per cent chance of this fight happening but there’s zero percent of you getting some p****.
      “Conor, you’re scared, Dana, you’re scared. Sign the f***ing contract you idiots. Irish b***h, f**k these guys.”

      Unpredictable Tyson Fury has right mentality and boxing skills to beat Anthony Joshua, says Oleksandr Usyk

      by

      TYSON FURY is an ‘unpredictable boxer’ with the right mentality and boxing skills required to beat Anthony Joshua, according to Oleksandr Usyk.
      Joshua’s WBO mandatory challenger Usyk revealed he believes the Gypsy King is capable of toppling AJ – who delivered a stunning knockout against Kubrat Pulev last weekend to put the pair on a collision course in 2021.

      And the Ukrainian, 33, may clear the way for a £500million two-fight deal to be agreed between the Brits after hinting he could choose to step aside.
      Usyk told SunSport: “I should say that Tyson Fury is an unpredictable boxer.
      “He has the right mentality and the boxing skills required [to beat Joshua].
      “But it is boxing so I can’t predict what would happen and how such a fight would end.

      “But we will have to wait and see and I would be sure to watch.”

      Fury has the right mentality and the boxing skills required [to beat Joshua].”
      Oleksandr Usyk

      The man who unified the cruiserweight division suggested a ‘once in a lifetime’ unification of the heavyweight belts could see WBC champ Fury jump the queue to fight Joshua ahead of him.
      When asked if he would consider moving aside, Usyk said: “All four belts might end up in the same hands of one person.
      “It might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. We should all talk and communicate for that to happen because it is a really big event.”

      In his first fight in 12 months, AJ took out veteran Bulgarian Pulev in the ninth round in front of a reduced crowd of 1,000 at Wembley Arena.

      The victory was the Watford fighter’s first outing since reclaiming his WBA, WBO and IBF belts by outpointing Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia in December 2019.
      Pulev took on Joshua as the IBF mandatory and was floored TWICE in the third round by some huge bombs.
      The 39-year-old somehow survived a standing count and made it to the bell despite seeming to turn his back on AJ – something that could have seen the fight stopped immediately by the referee.
      Many were surprised when Pulev battled his way back into the contest only to be KO’d in the ninth round.

      I think that if Anthony didn’t end the fight in round three – either he couldn’t or he just didn’t want to.”

      But Usyk suggested AJ may not have wanted to get his opponent out of the ring early after a year out.
      Speaking exclusively to SunSport, the unbeaten Ukrainian said: “I personally thought the fight would end somewhere around round six or seven but they held out nine rounds.
      “I think that if Anthony didn’t end the fight in round three – either he couldn’t or he just didn’t want to.”
      Oleksandr Usyk was speaking after launching the WePlay Ultimate Fighting League in partnership with WePlay Esports.
