      Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Chalmers (Round 6)
      Mayweather toys with Chalmers some more.

      Mayweather is just throwing jabs in this one.
      He goes to throw a big punch but sees Chalmers turn away slightly with his guard down and Floyd stops his punch mid-air.

      You can see Floyd’s timing of shots is still there.
      Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Chalmers
      We are now having the national anthems of both boxers.
      Mayweather’s entrance involved rappers not quite in sync with the backing music and some even forgetting the words.
      You cannot write this.
      We are ready for the main event…..
      Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Chalmers.
      This is what everyone has come to see.
      The money-man himself.
      Natalie Nunn vs Tommie Lee (Round 2)
      Thirty seconds into this round and there are ponytails flying everywhere and Nunn lands some headshots.
      The referee calls it, we did not hold too much for this one when Tommie Lee hit the canvas walking out from her corner with no punches thrown.
      Not one for the boxing hall of fame this one.
      Natalie Nunn vs Tommie Lee (Round 1)
      Well, there is no love lost here.
      Haymakers galore.
      Natalie Nunn lands plenty of punches with Tommie Lee looking like she is not sure where she is.
      One way traffic in this round.
      Next bout ready……
      This one should be an interesting one, no exhibition, just two people who don’t like each other.
      Natalie Nunn vs Tommie Lee
      Could be an interesting one.
      3 x 2 minute rounds in this one.
      Ulysses Diaz vs Khalas Karim (Round 4)
      Diaz comes out this round and looks to come at his opponent.
      Karim’s style is to wait for the attack and catch him with counter combinations.
      He manages to land some big hits on Diaz.
      Credit to both fighters they have taken some big punches.
      Ulysses Diaz vs Khalas Karim (Round 3)
      Both boxers are getting each other in headlocks more in this round.

      Ulysses Diaz vs Khalas Karim (Round 2)
      Both fighters are trying to land big uppercuts.
      Karim seems to be landing more of his punches.
      Diaz’s face is looking like it is taking the strain of those landed punches.
      Ulysses Diaz vs Khalas Karim (Round 1)
      Once both of these fighters get close they are trying to unload.
      Both throwing big punches, most of which aren’t landing.
      Diaz seems to be feeling that round more as he takes big intakes of air.
      Next bout at the O2 arena…..
      4 x 2 minute rounds for the next one.
      Ulysses Diaz vs Khalas Karim
      Not much known about these two apart from Diaz coming in with what seems like a balaclava on.
      J’Hon Ingram vs Declan Kenna (Round 3)
      Ingram spends the round just toying with his opponent.
      He lands combinations of body shots and they are draining Declan Kenna.
      One way traffic from 22-year-old J’Hon Ingram.
      J’Hon Ingram vs Declan Kenna (Round 2)
      Ingram has the more confidence between the two.
      Kenna seems to just be sending out token jabs that are nowhere near landing.
      Whereas Ingram walks towards him, landing body shots and jabs.
      J’Hon Ingram vs Declan Kenna (Round 1)
      Kenna starts showboating from the off.
      Ingram looks the more accomplished boxer.
      There seems to be more talking between the boxers than punches thrown in that first round.
      Now for the next attraction…..
      Another bout with 3 x 2 minute rounds.
      In the interviews backstage, Declan promised a knockout here.
      J’Hon Ingram vs Declan Kenna
      Antonio Zepeda vs Christopher Lovejoy (Round 3)
      Zepeda lands a punch in the rib section.
      Lovejoy goes down onto one knee after being caught with jab previously.
      This one is over, Lovejoy cannot continue, a jab to the ribs ending it.
      Antonio Zepeda vs Christopher Lovejoy (Round 2)
      Lovejoy is retired now and has the physique of someone who no longer does much cardio training.
      As he comes forward to have a go at Zepeda it is mainly his momentum that carries both fighters in a clinch on the ropes.
      Not too much to write home about in this one so far.
      Antonio Zepeda vs Christopher Lovejoy (Round 1)
      This one starts like more of an exhibition bout.
      Token punches thrown by both fighters.
      Zepeda tries to come forward and throw some big punches.
      Not quite up to the two previous bouts we have seen so far tonight.

      Natalie Nunn vs Tommie Lee result: Nunn dominates rival in shambolic bout on Floyd Mayweather undercard

      by

      NATALIE Nunn dominated rival Tommie Lee in a near farcical bout in London on Saturday night.The reality TV stars squared off at the O2 Arena in the latest chapter of their long-running feud.

      Tommie Lee was no match for Natalie NunnCredit: Richard Pelham / The Sun
      And it was completely one-way traffic in Nunn’s favor.
      Lee didn’t even bother defending herself at times despite sprinting down to the ring for the bout.
      That was the best part of her performance before being completely battered.
      Tension had been rising between the pair all week ahead of the fight.

      A scrap broke out at a press conference on Monday, ending in the two having to be pulled apart with Lee escorted out of the room.
      On Wednesday, Lee walked out of a press conference when Nunn was asked how the two were friends and enemies at the same time, prompting Nunn to call her opponent out on stage.
      But Nunn was far too strong for her reality TV rival.
      The crowd booed when the referee threatened to disqualify Lee because her corner didn’t vacate the ring between rounds.

      And the ref called an early end to the fight in round two – doing everyone a favor.
      The event was also overshadowed by the lack of fans in the arena.
      The top tier of the 20,000-seat arena in London was completely shut off and there were large swathes of empty seats elsewhere.
      Floyd Mayweather took on Aaron Chalmers in an eight-round main event bout.
      It was the ring icon’s sixth exhibition bout and the third that wasn’t scored. More

      Mayweather vs Chalmers shambles as card delayed with O2 Arena almost EMPTY and thousands of tickets left unsold

      by

      THE undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Chalmers was delayed for half an hour at a virtually empty O2 Arena tonight.That’s after promoters struggled to sell tickets for Saturday’s exhibition bout in London.

      The 8pm start for the undercard was delayedCredit: Sunni Upal
      The £24.88 livestream only went live at 8.15pm
      Mayweather is fighting for the first time in the UK after retiring with a perfect 50-0 record.
      Ex-Geordie Shore star and MMA fighter Chalmers stepped in after Mayweather’s original opponent Liam Harrison pulled out.
      But punters were not left convinced by the quick-fire announcement.
      And plenty of tickets were still on sale for the event last night, with thousands of seats in the 20,000-capacity arena available.

      Some boxing fans were even offered 20 per cent discounts as promoters desperately attempted to offload tickets.
      Yet that too did not tempt punters, with the O2 barely filled when the undercard was meant to start at 8pm.
      Even bars on the usually packed concourse and the entrance to the arena were virtually empty.
      And with so little bums on seats, kick-off was delayed until 8.30pm to allow more fans to drift in ahead of the main event.

      Regular prices for tickets ranged from around £141.50 to £1,038,50.
      But even a discount did little to convince fans it would be a worthwhile purchase.
      Indeed, even the event livestream didn’t start until 8.15pm, half an hour after it was meant to be up.
      And it wasn’t until 8.30pm when the first fight between Sammy-Jo Luxton and Hayley Heather started.
      Punters had to pay £24.88 to watch the event on The Zeus Network.
      The main fight between Mayweather and Chalmers is scheduled to start at 10.30pm.
      But it remains to be seen if it gets pushed back following the late start on the undercard. More

      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight predictions – Mike Tyson, Eddie Hearn and boxing world make their picks

      by

      ANTICIPATION is building ahead of Jake Paul’s clash with Tommy Fury – and the boxing world is split on who will come out on top. It’s the most high-profile clash for both stars so far and could have a huge effect on their future fighting careers.

      Paul has won all six of his bouts so far but is yet to face a full-time professional with a background in boxing.
      But the stakes are high for the outspoken American with a WBC cruiserweight ranking place up for grabs.
      And Fury, who has a 8-0-0 record, will give his career a shot in the arm with victory – but faces a serious hit to his reputation if he loses to his long-time rival.
      Everyone in boxing has a view on will win this huge contest in Saudi Arabia.

      Boxing legend Mike Tyson attended the final press conference between Paul and Fury as he got a chance to see the pair up close.
      And he does not fancy the younger Fury brother for the win at all.
      Tyson, 56, said: “I never saw Fury fight. I don’t know — I don’t think he’s gonna be able to beat Jake Paul.
      “Jake Paul, he’s getting better and better as he fights, and I don’t know if they brought him here to lose. So, we’re gonna find out.”

      Floyd Mayweather
      Money has his own fight to worry about this weekend but still found time to cast an eye towards events in Saudi Arabia.
      And the legendary fighter, 46, believes that Fury’s experience gives him the edge.
      He said: “It’s good that Jake Paul is able to take his social media following and get some new eyes on the sport of boxing.
      “But this sport is something you can’t play with. Boxing is something you can’t play with. When you finally face a fighter who can really, really fight, then you’re going to find out what you’ve really got in the sport of boxing.”
      Eddie Hearn

      Eddie Hearn has seen plenty during his eventful career setting up big fights.
      But even the opinionated boxing promoter has admitted he’s completely changed his mind on the outcome of the fight.
      He said: “I have had a total U-turn on this fight. I thought Jake Paul was going to win this fight. I think Jake Paul has absolutely no chance to win this fight at all.
      “If Tommy Fury comes out aggressively and puts it on Jake Paul, this fight will not go two rounds.
      “This is a massive U-turn for me because both are limited. But Tommy Fury as limited as he is as a professional boxer, has been boxing for ten, 12 years, maybe more.
      “He has been in the ring against professional fighters, he has experienced that, he’s done the hard spars.”
      KSI

      KSI has had a long-running rivalry with Paul and the pair are regularly involved in online spats.
      So it slightly surprising to hear that the Brit has tipped his old foe to win – but he thinks the clash won’t live up to expectations.
      He told the Zach Sang Show: “I do see Jake Paul winning … but I think it’s going to be a bit of a boring fight, if I’m being honest.
      “Both fighters are very standoffish. Jake is a lot more of a counter-puncher so he reacts to what you’re doing. And Tommy is also a bit more of a counter-puncher.”
      Anthony Taylor
      Anthony Taylor has the distinction of having shared a ring with both Paul and Fury.
      The MMA veteran turned boxer was Paul’s sparring partner in 2021 while he lost in a competitive fight with Fury in the same year. He has no doubt who will come out on top tomorrow.
      Taylor told SunSport: “Jake is just going to outbox Tommy. He’s just a far better boxer. Jake is going to control him with his countering.
      “Jake is more flexible and more fluid than Tommy, he’s got a higher ring IQ. 
      Derek Chisora
      Derek Chisora has faced Tommy’s brother Tyson three times in his career.
      Despite originally opting for The Problem Child, Del Boy has changed his mind.
      He told the Mirror: Jake right now looks to be the favourite. So all the odds are favouring Jake and everything, all the fans are saying ‘Jake, Jake, Jake’.
      “But I’ve got a feeling that Jake might get stopped by Tommy but if that happens then – oh wow.”

      Michael Bipsing
      Retired UFC star Michael Bipsing has had his say on tomorrow’s big fight – and predicts an uncomfortable evening for Fury.
      He said: “Listen, Jake Paul isn’t just a YouTuber. He’s a boxer. He used to be a YouTuber, probably still is one, but he’s also a boxer.
      “Just because you discover your love for the sweet science later in life doesn’t mean you have to be labelled a YouTuber your entire life. The reality is Jake Paul is doing a lot of great things in the boxing world.
      “I thought it was a bad night at the office for Tommy Fury against Anthony Taylor. Some of his other fights he looked explosive, powerful, aggressive.
      “Against Anthony Taylor I didn’t see those. If he struggled against Anthony Taylor, he’s going to struggle against Jake Paul. That’s just my two cents, and I believe that he loses.”
      Ryan Garcia
      American lightweight boxer Ryan Garcia, who has a 23-0-0 record, kept his prediction short and sweet.
      The 24-year-old said: “Jake Paul [to win]. Funny, honest at times, and my friend.”

      And insults have been flying back and forth after a heated weigh-in on Saturday.
      Earlier this month, Paul told SunSport he’s “matured” and no longer has to make crass personal insults to get under the skin of potential opponents.

      This prompted a furious reaction from the American, who demanded Froch fight on the UNDERCARD of his next bout.
      Paul said: “Carl Froch mad because I made more in one year than he made his whole career.
      “You want the payday. I get it. So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva on my next card.

      “All these kids are going to get taught a less I swear.”
      This saw Paul respond: “OK fat boy, so me vs you and J (J’Leon Love) vs T?”
      Things then spilled over at UFC 261 as Cormier and Paul clashed in the stands.
      Cormier said after: “I pointed at him, said ‘don’t play with me’. Because I’ll slap that s*** out of him, I don’t play those games.”

      CANELO ALVAREZ
      Widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter, Alvarez is one of a kind.
      But with just six pro wins under his belt, Paul reckons he could put the Mexican in his place.
      That’s after beating UFC legend Anderson Silva in a shock result.
      Paul said: “This is just the start. I want Nate Diaz. Canelo, you too.
      “You guys said, ‘You can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva.’ I just did it. So why can’t I beat Canelo?”

      NATE DIAZ
      After beating Silva, Paul also fixed his sights on fellow MMA star Diaz.
      He said: “I’ll be down. I just beat one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
      “Nate Diaz is easy work. Anderson Silva is way more difficult than Nate Diaz.”
      Paul also called out Diaz for engaging in a mass brawl during the fight, saying: “Nate Diaz was here acting like a b***h.
      “Everyone wants that fight. He tried to fight people in the hallway. Nate, stop fighting people for free.
      “Let’s do it in the ring, okay? I know you’re a little slow, buddy. But we can make that fight happen.

      “It’s typical of him. That’s what he likes to do. He’s a street gangster.
      “He likes to act tough and he’s really not. Why are you trying to beat someone up in the hallway?” More

      I don’t wish harm on Tommy Fury’s life but I will KO him in decisive fashion and earn respect I deserve, says Jake Paul

      by

      JAKE PAUL has vowed to knock Tommy Fury out in decisive fashion – and finally earn the respect he feels is due. The celebrity boxing pair are set to end two years of feuding in the ring tomorrow night in Saudi Arabia.

      And the fight marks the first time Paul will face an opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
      But the YouTuber-turned prizefighter warned Fury will be left brutally unconscious – like the other victims on his record.
      And the savage nature of victory would leave no more doubt on his so-far polarising career as a boxer.
      Paul told SunSport in Riyadh: “I know I’m going to win but my goal is to knock him out and I know I’m capable of that if I execute my game plan properly.

      “So I think knocking out the professional boxer in a cold, deceive, crazy way like I knock people out, that will get the respect. 
      “If it’s just a win, I think people will admit I can really box but it won’t be the full level of respect that I think I deserve. 
      “I have to earn it though on Sunday.” 
      Fury, 23, was forced to twice pull out of the pay-per-view grudge match before, amid injury and US visa issues.

      It has kept the feud festering but both stars have promised to bury one another’s careers in the Diriyah desert.
      Fury has even agreed to RETIRE and forfeit his purse if he fails to beat the prankster-gone-puncher.
      But Paul feels disregarded by his rival and insisted he is in for a rude awakening – as has been the case with his six prior opponents.
      He said: “I don’t ever wish harm upon his life by any means. 
      “I’ve always become friends with my opponents after the fight – I talk to Nate Robinson, I talk to Tyron Woodley, I talk to Anderson Silva. 
      “Who knows what will happen? I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. After I knock him out I hope he realises that I’m just a really good fighter. 
      “I think that’s what all my other opponents realised, they feel less bad about it the more people I beat. He shouldn’t feel bad. 
      “I’ve put Anderson Silva down, I’ve put Woodley down, I’m going to put him down. It’s not that big of a deal when you look at it like that.”
