      Teofimo Lopez stuns Josh Taylor on points to win world title and hand Scot first-ever defeat

      by

      TEOFIMO LOPEZ stunned Josh Taylor to a first-ever defeat while ripping away the WBO light-welterweight title. The two settled their ugly feud in the basement of New York’s famed Madison Square Garden.

      Lopez marred the build up in controversy after claiming he wanted to KILL Taylor and refusing to apologise for the sick taunt.
      In the end, the American let his fists do the talking as he walked away with an upset points win to once again become world champion.
      But he did later show remorse, telling Taylor: “I think I let my emotions get the best of me.
      “I do not want to take your life, I want you to go back to your family. I apologise as a man.”

      And after defeat, Taylor said: “No excuses, it wasn’t my best, but the better man won. I felt amazing in the gym. Congratulations to Teofimo.
      “I’d love to do it again. The lay-off had nothing to do with it. I’ve got no excuses, he was the better man tonight.”
      Taylor suffered his first loss in 20 bouts, despite several believing he was fortunate to avoid defeat to British rival Jack Catterall in February 2022.
      And refusing to wait out for a rematch has now backfired after Lopez ripped away the WBO title.

      Taylor, 32, started the quicker of the two in the opening round, finding home to some smart left hands.
      And in round three, Lopez looked in trouble when he was punched into the ropes and took an uppercut after referee Michael Griffin called break.
      An uppercut also looked to have floored the former unified lightweight champion, though a slip was called.
      Lopez sparked into life in round four and this time it was Taylor who touched the canvas, although again no knockdown was scored.
      And Taylor looked in trouble when a right hand left him staggered back and forced to hold on.
      By round seven, Lopez was beginning to come on top and winning the exchanges from the rivalling orthodox and southpaw stances.
      Taylor showed frustration in the eighth as he was made to miss and pay by Lopez, who was quick on the counter.
      In round nine, a combination punched Taylor into the ropes and there was a sense Lopez already had one hand on the belts.
      The challenger landed a massive right uppercut in round 11, which was the best punch of the round.

      Taylor came out for the 12th and final round knowing only a stoppage could save him from defeat.
      But Lopez boxed smart to see out the final bell, where a unanimous decision saw him reign as a two-division world champ aged 25.

      I flew over halfway across the world to come say hello to him and pull him up really. See what are you going to say, what time is it? But he’s not here. He’s not showed up. He’s got no backside.
      “So you can see he’s a little bit fragile and a little bit mentally weak. So I can definitely use that to my advantage.

      Floyd Mayweather boasts of having all his ‘faculties’ aged 46 ahead of next exhibition against grandson of mob boss

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER boasted of still having all his faculties intact as he prepares for another exhibition fight. The boxing legend at aged 46 is back in action, this time against John Gotti III, grandson to one of America’s most notorious crime bosses.
      John Gotti III and Floyd Mayweather ahead of their exhibition
      It will be Mayweather’s SEVENTH exhibition since officially retiring in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.
      And the unbeaten Hall of Famer – who was never floored in his career – is reaping the rewards of his defensive style all these years later.
      Mayweather said: “With an event like this, it’s truly amazing to still have all my faculties.
      “The aim of the game is to hit and not get hit, that’s why I was able to be in the sport of boxing as a professional for 27 years.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Mayweather has faced stars of the MMA, social media and celebrity boxing world since boxing in exhibition bouts.
      His last came in February against reality TV favourite-turned fighter Aaron Chalmers, 36, at a near-empty O2 Arena in London.
      And Gotti III – whose grandfather John Gotti ran the Gambino crime family in the late 80s and 90s – will be the next to face Mayweather.
      The 30-year-old is a 5-1 MMA fighter and 2-0 boxer who brings an army of fans from New York to Florida.

      But Mayweather said: “Remember, I’ve fought all around the world, every country I’ve fought in.
      “Remember this, when we get in the ring it’s up to the two fighters. It has nothing to do with crowd.
      “They can scream, they can holla, they can shout. This is what I do at the end of the day.
      “I don’t have to brag, I don’t have to boast, I don’t have to tell you what I can do, the world knows what I can do.
      “So he has to show the world what he can do.”

      Tyson Fury called out by Jarrell Miller after American weighs 23 STONE for exhibition on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard

      JARRELL MILLER weighed over 23 STONE for his exhibition on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard – and wants to fight Tyson Fury next. The American faces Las Vegas-based undefeated heavyweight Antonio Zepeda tomorrow night in Florida.
      Jarrell Miller weighing in for his exhibition bout against Antonio Zepeda
      The bill is being headlined by boxing legend Mayweather, who faces John Gotti III, grandson of the notorious mob boss.
      Miller, 34, made his mark when tipping the scales as 325lb (23st 2lb) and made it clear he is setting his sights on Fury, 34.
      He said: “I’ll do kickboxing, MMA, I chef it up, I do anything to stay busy. So we’re going to go in there and have some fun. 
      “He’s a young, hungry guy, I’m still young, still hungry and we’re looking for Tyson Fury after this.

      “So we’re just gonna go in there, have some fun and put on an entertaining show. 
      “I’m gonna go and do what I do, cook some cheeseburgers.” 
      Miller returns in his fourth fight since his doping scandal which cost him a mega-money payday against Anthony Joshua in 2019.
      A series of failed drug tests saw his world title bout scrapped and reputation in tatters.

      Miller blamed the failed tests on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow.
      He then received a contract with Bob Arum’s Top Rank stable but again tested positive for a banned substance.
      This time the former kickboxer put it down to a SEX PILL and was handed a two-year suspension.
      After serving the ban, Miller did enrol in VADA testing which saw his licence in Las Vegas reinstated.
      He won two comeback bouts before stopping Australian Lucas Browne, 44, in Dubai in March.
      And he now faces 6-0 Zepeda, who has a 100 per cent knockout ratio and trains out of Mayweather’s Vegas gym.
      Miller said: “He’s an undefeated guy he’s going to come in there and throw punches at me so it’s real. 
      “Don’t think we’re going in there to pitty pat, we’re going to have some fun at the same time.

      “I know he has longevity in his career, I have longevity in my career so there’s respect there at the same time but we both know where our careers are going.

      But YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has instead opted to try and get back in the win column against former UFC star Nate Diaz in August.
      And Fury claims the duo didn’t immediately run things back because Paul and his team went AWOL.
      When asked if he’d been offered the fight, he told talkSPORT: “Nope. Not once [has he been in contact.]
      “I think I saw a tweet the other day that he wants to run it back in a year’s time, but as far as I’m concerned we were meant to be running it back a few months later.”

      “Obviously he’s gone away, watched it, and thought ‘maybe I’m not that good yet.’ So he’s silent.”

      “Fought a 40-year-old who hadn’t fought for 3 years and put a rehydration clause on him before elbowing him.

      Mike Tyson’s old coach reveals prediction for Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder as former champ admits he’s ‘nervous’

      by

      MIKE TYSON’s former coach has given his prediction for Anthony Joshua’s imminent heavyweight showdown with Deontay Wilder.A long-awaited grudge match between the two former champions is in the works for December, with the blockbuster showdown set to take place in Saudi Arabia.

      Both men are shells of the fighters they were five years ago when they held all the heavyweight hardware, but Joshua more so.
      And Teddy Atlas believes AJ’s proneness to being caught with right hands will result in him suffering a brutal knockout loss.
      The International Boxing Hall of Famer said on his ‘The Fight’ podcast: “If I was backing him [Joshua], I don’t know if I’d want to put him in with Wilder, to be quite frank.
      “With the kind of right hand Wilder chucks and the susceptibility he has to getting hit with the right hand.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “It’s not a knock on him, but I think Wilder would knock him out.”
      Joshua returned to the win column in April with a scrappy points victory over Jermaine Franklin, who had success with his counter-overhand right on several occasions.
      When pressed further on a fight between AJ and Wilder, Atlas said: “Joshua’s vulnerability for the right hand is one of the reasons [I think he loses].
      “Besides, the fact [is[ he’s made so much money.

      “He doesn’t need to do this, that you never see him with Wilder ever.”
      Before Joshua can think about a long-overdue clash with Wilder, he must first get through fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
      A rematch with the Brixton Body Snatcher is in the works for August 12, although the fight has not yet been made official.
      And Wilder admits he’ll be “nervous” watching Joshua put their multi-million-pound Saudi showdown on the line against Whyte.

      The Bronze Bomber told SunSport this week: “Are you nervous?
      “Everybody’s nervous, we all are.
      “I will be, I’ve said before I’m a straightforward, honest guy anyone that knows me knows that.
      “But I am nervous, if he takes a fight. We’ll keep it like that.” More

      Fury and his team have since travelled to the island of Phuket and visited the Bangtao Muay Thai and MMA gym for a meet and greet with fans.
      The Gypsy King made their day by taking part in some light sparring for a whopping 15 rounds.
      But one of the over-excited attendees accidentally clocked the burly Brit on the chin with a stray right hand.
