      Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather denies TMT cap cost him $1million… but still leaves fans staggered by outrageous cost

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has denied that his diamond-encrusted TMT hat was worth $1million – but he did reveal the eye-watering cost.The blinged-up 46-year-old boxing legend regularly lives up to his “Money” nickname by showing off his lavish lifestyle on social media.

      Mayweather recently splashed out $1m on a new gold chain before his recent exhibition fight at The 02 against Aaron Chalmers.
      The former five-weight world champion, who retired with a 50-0 record, found himself in the spotlight again last week as he attended Gervonta Davis’ victory over Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas.
      Mayweather caught the eye by flaunting his epic headpiece as speculation mounted that the hat was worth a cool million bucks.
      However, the American has now taken to Instagram to dispute that fact, although he admitted it still cost him a fortune.

      Sharing a picture of himself wearing the cap, he wrote: “I don’t know who started the rumor that my hat was a million dollars but it was 30k.
      “30k is still pricey for a SnapBack.”
      One fan responded to his revelation by saying: “30k on a hat is insane.”
      Another wrote: “Why on earth will a hat cost 30k? Why? Was it made from pure gold or what?”
      Most read in Boxing
      While another said: “That didn’t make me feel any better.”
      The diamond-encrusted hat was created by Los Angeles-based celebrity jeweller Shuki Diamonds.
      And he recently revealed that it took over one month to make as he had to source “invisible diamonds” to complete the headpiece.
      He says the process involved creating a mould, sandblasting it, and then polishing it before he gave it to Mayweather for free.
      And he now says that, regardless of its actual worth, he believes he could sell the headgear for $5m at an auction.”There’s only one in the world,” Diamonds told TMZ. “It’s become historical – it’s Floyd Mayweather.” More

      Tyson Fury accused of holding up Saudi tournament by Usyk’s team with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder on board

      by

      TYSON FURY is the only fighter holding up the potential four-man tournament from happening in December, claims Oleksandr Usyk’s manager.Talks have been going on for weeks for Saudi Arabia to host a mega night of boxing that would shake-up the heavyweight division.

      The landmark event would see Anthony Joshua battle Deontay Wilder before Fury and Usyk go one-on-one to unify the titles.
      Both AJ and the Bronze Bomber have said they want to make it happen and have reportedly been easy to negotiate with.
      However, Alex Krassyuk, who manages Usyk, says Fury’s “complex personality” has proven to be a major obstacle in the discussions.
      Klismas told BT Sport Boxing: ““From my perspective and from my experience, AJ is not a very complicated person to deal with.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Deontay Wilder and Shelley Finkel are very reasonable people … we got in touch with him a couple of weeks ago for the first time in 10 years and we had quite a long conversation.
      “I don’t think it would be a big challenge for anyone to make a deal with him.”
      He then added: “Oleksandr Usyk and his team are known to be the easiest people to deal with in the world of boxing.
      “So there’s only one thing still pending and it’s a complex personality who goes back and forth, playing his games to try and squeeze as much money as possible. That was the reason why Usyk called him greedy belly!”

      Both Krassyuk and Joshua’s Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn have confirmed talks for the four-man tournament have taken place.
      But the Gypsy King blasted them on Instagram: “I can confirm that these rumours are absolute bulls***.”
      Fury has since been linked to a return to the ring against Andy Ruiz Jr on July 22, although no confirmation has yet been made.
      Usyk, who is expected to face Daniel Dubois next, saw talks collapse to fight Fury on April 29.
      Krassyuk added that he feels the Brit is making a huge mistake in not taking on the Ukrainian as he added that discussions with Dubois’ chief George Warren have started.
      He added: “Yes he is the champion and yes he has the right to do things that he wants to do, but at the end of the day he is a professional boxer and his main assignment is to perform for the boxing fans.
      “That’s why I think that if this fight does not take place it would be one of the biggest mistakes Tyson Fury could make in his career.” More

      Meet Carla Howe, the Playboy model-turned-ring girl who has equally glamorous twin and loves to strip down to bikinis

      by

      DOUBLING UP might be the easiest skill for ex-Playboy model Carla Howe to learn as she progresses from ring girl to boxer.That’s because the Anthony Joshua fan has a twin sister, Melissa, who was in the Playboy mansion with her.

      Carla’s move into boxing has been on The Money so far – as the ring girl for Floyd Mayweather now has one million Instagram followers.
      And only a training injury stopped her from going in the middle of the ring this year rather than just around it.
      She was due to fight 2021 Love Island star AJ Bunker.
      But Carla said: “I actually got injured in sparring, I fractured a rib, I’m so happy I got an X-Ray which I posted on Instagram which proves me injury.”

      Sister Melissa, meanwhile, has dated rapper Lil Wayne and was at footballer Dele Alli’s 21st birthday bash six years ago.
      Alli’s career has gone downhill since, whereas the Howe twins are thriving.
      Carla even danced with Mayweather in the ring.
      And followers have labelled her “perfect” as well as “doll face” – which she must hope won’t be the state of her facial responses if she ever does fight.

      She’s also not short of confidence.

      Ring Magazine release top 10 heavyweight rankings with one new addition after STUNNING KO win

      by

      ZHILEI ZHANG has punched his way into title contention as a top five heavyweight contender after battering Joe Joyce. The 2012 Olympic silver medallist stunned Joyce this month with a brutal sixth-round stoppage victory.

      Joyce’s right eye was so grotesquely swollen the referee had no choice but to wave it off following advice from the ringside medic.
      The win meant Zhang, 39, inherited the WBO interim title and mandatory position for Oleksandr Usyk’s title.
      He also moved up to fourth in the Ring Magazine rankings with Joyce, 37, down to seven following the first loss in his career.
      Usyk still leads the way at the top with the Ring, WBA, IBF and WBO belts to his name.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      But he was unable to unify all four belts for the first time in heavyweight history as talks to fight Tyson Fury broke down.
      As a result, Fury sits just behind with old rival Deontay Wilder named in second.
      Anthony Joshua is placed in third but could leap above Wilder with the two in talks to fight in Saudi Arabia in December.
      Andy Ruiz Jr sits in fifth and is in line to face Fury this summer following the collapse of the undisputed title decider.

      It means the likes of Daniel Dubois and Otto Wallin sit outside the Ring Magazine rankings.

      Anthony Joshua backed to ‘box Deontay Wilder’s EARS OFF’ by Eddie Hearn who warns AJ could also ‘knock him clean out’

      by

      EDDIE HEARN expects Anthony Joshua to either box Deontay Wilder’s ears off or knock him clean out. Hearn is set for talks in Saudi Arabia where hosts want AJ to face the American in a December blockbuster.

      And the promoter has rubbished suggestions that Wilder is the favourite to win the fight.
      He told ESBR Boxing: “Joshua has boxed everybody that he’s been asked to box and now it’s a fight to avoid against Deontay Wilder?
      “If you think AJ is an underdog in that fight, in my opinion, you’re mad.
      “It’s just one of the greatest fights in boxing, so let’s roll the dice and see AJ put it on the line in a massive fight.

      “Do you want to see the most exciting fights? Because they come with a lot of risk.
      “AJ will box his ears off, but if he gets caught – like anyone else in the division – he could get stopped in that fight.
      “Wilder is very dangerous but if he hits Wilder on the chin, he’s knocking him clean out.
      “It’s just one of the greatest fights in boxing, but boxing is just a mad world where it’s like ‘That’s the one to avoid’.

      “The biggest and most exciting fights come with a lot of risk, so let’s roll the dice and see AJ put it on the line in a massive fight.”
      Joshua, 33, beat Jermaine Franklin, 29, on points at the start of April in his return fight.
      Meanwhile Wilder, 37, is yet to box since knocking out Robert Helenius, 39, in the first round of his comeback last October.
      But the pair could be in line to finally fight with money being fronted to stage it in the Middle East.
      And amazingly, Tyson Fury, 34, could also unify the belts against Oleksandr Usyk, 36, as part of a boxing bonanza in Saudi.
