      Unified champion Usyk agreed to Fury’s outrageous purse demands but the mouthwatering bout still failed to come to fruition, with a rematch clause being one of the main reasons why.
      And a frustrated Fury took to Instagram on Thursday to say: “Uysk, you proper little s***bag, bog-eyed, gappy-teethed, ugly little rat b*****d
      “You little slimy f****r.
      “[You] tried all week to get out of it [the fight] begging for the rematch.

      “You little s***house p***y.
      “Always know, p***y, that you were never man enough to tangle with the Gypsy King ever in your life, you little s***thouse.

      “You little s***bag, you rat little b*****d.
      “Your full team know as well and all the lawyers have got [the] full information.”
      Usyk, 36, will probably now defend his titles against mandatory WBA title challenger Daniel Dubois in a fight Fury was quick to mock.
      He added: “You little ugly b*****d, keep running. Fight Dubois at the Copper Box, s**t bag.
      “And always know you, or anybody else like ya, could ever tangle with the Gypsy King.”

      Boxing fans are hopeful of a miracle to save the pair’s proposed April 29 showdown at Wembley, although Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren insists the fight is dead in the water.
      He told the BBC: “They said the fight must take place before 29 April and if it goes later they want different splits.
      “The reason they did that was they didn’t think Tyson would be ready for the 29th and suddenly Tyson was ready for it.
      “He has been in training camp for two-and-a-half weeks, got trainers in from America and they looked for a way to get out.”

      He added: “There is an established rota of who Usyk has to defend against.
      “That’s why after the 29th it goes away.” More

      The mum, married to welterweight champ Conor, said the robber left empty-handed and thankfully neither she or Eli were hurt.
      Describing the horror on her YouTube channel, Victoria said she was eating her dinner on Sunday evening when she heard a noise.
      The mum added: “I thought ‘There’s no way that could have been a breeze’.
      “I walked out to the hallway and I found a man on the stairs, it was probably the most scariest thing that has ever happened to me.”

      Victoria explained she “lost it” after finding the intruder and began “screaming and swearing at him”.
      The mum said: “I cannot explain the feeling that took over me, it makes me want to be sick.
      “When you’re going towards that noise and then seeing someone in your house.”
      She said her phone was charging in the bedroom so she couldn’t get help straightaway as she did not want to leave Eli alone.

      Eventually she managed to raise the alarm with her neighbours and the man left without taking anything.
      Victoria believes the thief was watching the house as Conor – son of ring legend Nigel Benn – had left 30 minutes before he broke in.
      She has slammed the “disgusting” robber for their “audacity” at targeting her while she was home alone.
      But she thanked Essex Police for their help since the break-in and confirmed there is now extra security at their home.
      Victoria added: “How horrible it is to know your house broken into. When I’m now home alone without Conor it’s not a nice feeling at all and it made me feel very vulnerable.
      “Now I have that fear when I’m home alone with Eli that anything can happen. To go through that was honestly the most scariest moment of my life.”
      It comes after Conor revealed this month he wanted to kill himself after being accused of taking a banned testosterone-boosting drug
      The boxer told Piers Morgan that he suffered night terrors and panic attacks in the wake of the drugs tests last autumn.
      And in Piers Morgan Uncensored, Benn also revealed he wants to sue British boxing’s governing body for loss of earnings and damage to his reputation.

      A stunning April 29 Wembley bout had been in the works, which would have unified the heavyweight division.
      But fans’ hopes of witnessing such a historic occasion on British soil have gone up in flames, with Usyk now set to face mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois in June or July instead.
      Fury, 34, is also likely to return in the summer, although he remains in training – the WBC champ keeping himself in pristine condition.
      Speaking about talks with the Gypsy King’s team, Klimas revealed: “No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more.”

      Following the breakdown of negotiations, Fury was mocked by Usyk’s wife Yekaterina.
      She took to Instagram to post a picture of Fury’s face edited onto a queen wearing a dress.
      And she then added in Ukrainian: “And for the last time. Being greedy is very bad!!! The best is yet to come!!!”

      Boxing fans were counting down the days until April 29 when it appeared the two heavyweights had managed to strike an agreement.
      But it appears the bout will not go ahead after the duo failed to agree terms over the purse.
      According to Klimas, Fury kept making more demands which made reaching a compromise impossible – including a no rematch clause.
      This comes after Usyk publicly accepted his rival’s “greedy” offer of just a 70/30 split to unify all four belts at Wembley.

      That means Fury is available again and Ruiz jumped at the opportunity to face the undefeated superstar.
      The Mexican-American, who ended Anthony Joshua’s undefeated run in 2019, challenged The Gypsy King on Instagram with a graphic showing them in the ring with their respective flags.
      Ruiz issued the following caption: “Lets [sic] do this!”
      This comes after promoter Eddie Hearn suggested a four-man tournament consisting of three mega fights.

      Hearn suggested a fight between Fury and Joshua, if he gets past Jermaine Franklin, as well as Deontay Wilder and Usyk with the respective winners facing off for the undisputed title.
      That is despite the fact Fury and Usyk have beaten Wilder and Joshua twice respectively.
      Wilder has thrown his name into the hat as the undefeated Ukrainian’s next opponent.
      But Usyk seems set to face mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, per the WBA’s request. More

      Smith has been touted as the man to replace Hearn when the promoter packs it in, but the son of Barry proved he is still the boss.
      Hearn landed a perfect left hook to Smith’s stomach which floored the Matchroom CEO.
      But credit to Smith – who has been with Hearn since he was 14 – as he got to his feet and boxed on.
      Perhaps Hearn always had the upper hand in the spar, after all he boxed three times for Billericay Amateur Boxing Club as a teen, winning them all.

      He was introduced as ‘Eddie Hills’ as his famous dad feared their surname would cause opponents to ‘take liberties’.
      But in a 2017 interview with Boxing Social, the future boxing matchmaker admitted he was not cut out to be a fighter after all.
      Hearn said: “They introduced me as ‘Eddie Hills’ and I was devastated. I told my dad and I found out it was all his idea.
      “He thought if they knew who I was, they would really put it on me and take liberties.

      by

      DAVID PRICE beat Tyson Fury and dropped Anthony Joshua – but his toughest opponent’s career cruelly got cut short due to gang violence.The 6ft 8in former British and Commonwealth champion retired in 2019 after a career that saw him share the ring with other big names such as Derek Chisora and Alexander Povetkin.

      Back in his amateur days, Price beat current WBC heavyweight title holder Fury and he famously floored AJ during sparring in 2011.
      Many would expect the Liverpool-born star to name either of the above as having the heaviest hands that he has come up against.
      However, instead he claimed German-based Russian Denis Boytsov.
      Speaking to the Daily Star, Price said: “I sparred a Russian called Denis Boytsov in Germany once. He only hit the top of my head, but he was a powerful puncher.

      “I think he got his career cut short, he got absolutely battered by a gang of Russian fellas and left for dead, he couldn’t fight again. But I remember him being a really powerful puncher.”
      Boytsov enjoyed a three-win streak and was touted for a world title shot before a shocking incident in May 2015 left him fighting for his life and his career in tatters.
      He was placed in an induced coma after being found with serious head injuries in a Berlin subway.
      Boytsov was in a coma for seven weeks and lost 70kg, leaving him unable to move and eat without the aid of a tube.

      Once he was finally woken up his 36-1 career was over – although mystery surrounds exactly what happened to him on the night of the attack.
      Berlin police had originally claimed, based on video footage and witnesses, that the incident looked to have been an accident.
      But Boytsov released a statement on his website that suggested he had in fact been a victim of an attack that was linked to his boxing career.

      It read: “It is possible that this attack was linked to the boxer’s sporting activity.
      “Around two years ago, Boytsov was receiving threats constantly.’” More
