      But he’s yet to test himself as a professional or in the paid ranks at all since coming out of the ITV reality show.
      Fincham, 31, did sign a promotional deal with Boxxer at the end of 2020 but his scheduled fight was cancelled after he got himself into a car accident.
      But now he’s back in the mix and readying himself for a clash with Taylor, who fought another Love Island star in Tommy Fury last year.
      Fury, who finished second on the show a year after Fincham won it, beat Taylor via decision in August 2021.

      When is Fincham vs Taylor?

      Fincham’s big clash with Taylor will take place on Saturday, November 13.
      The bout is on the undercard of Mayweather vs Deji, so could get underway from any time between 7pm-9pm.
      The fight will be held at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Fincham vs Taylor will be shown live on DAZN PPV in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the DAZN app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.
      A subscription to DAZN costs £7.99-a-month.

      Wilder’s demolition of Helenius sparked fresh calls for him to throw down with former two-time unified champion Joshua, a fight promoter Shelly Finkel believes will be made for the right amount of money.
      He told Fight Hub TV: “A couple of months ago, Eddie Hearn sent us a letter, and we said the most important thing is Deontay training and doing what he did tonight.
      “Now that he’s done it, we’ll see if Eddie will come with the truckloads of money he said and the Joshua deal that he said.
      “We’re here. He knows how to reach us, so we’ll see. We’ll see if tonight changed his mind.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn made overtures to book a showdown between Wilder and AJ ahead of the Brit’s defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August.
      Wilder and Joshua, 36 and 33 respectively, were on course to face one another in 2018 when the pair held all the heavyweight marbles.
      But Wilder turned down a whopping three-fight undisputed deal worth close to £100million as he felt he was being lowballed.
      The bad blood that remains between the pair has Bronze Bomber Wilder eager to settle the score before he hangs up his gloves.

      He told The Good Fight: “Me and Joshua should have fought years ago, I could have been the undisputed champion.
      “The chance isn’t gone, we are both still in the business of fighting so that opportunity will always be there.
      “People still always stop me and ask when I’m fighting Joshua. Some people still think that’s the biggest fight in the world, between us two.
      “It is the No1 match-up that people still always ask me about.
      “It’s not a matter of ‘if’ the fight happens. It’s a matter of when, we just need the tight timing.”
      Wilder, however, doesn’t plan on taking part in protracted negotiations to get his hands on AJ.
      He added: “We will not fall in line with Eddie Hearn’s games? They drained us.

      “We dealt with Eddie Hearn for around six months and they just gave us the round around.
      “They have their story, which they tell everyone, but I know the facts and he is a big manipulator.”

      Bare-knuckle boxers show off horror injuries including gruesome swollen eyes after brutal bloodbath fights

      by

      BLOOD, bruises and cuts were on show at the O2 Arena last weekend following yet another bare-knuckle boxing event at the famous venue.The Indigo at the O2 has become a regular venue for bare-knuckle promotions in recent years.

      And on Sunday night, it played host to BYB Extreme Fighting’s 12th show – which well and truly lived up to its “extreme” moniker.
      The adequately titled “London Brawl” featured 11 fights – many of which left the combatants battered and bruised.
      But unlike traditional boxing matches, the bouts took place in a triangular ring – which is becoming a regular occurrence across the globe.
      The dimensions of the “Trigon” left little room for the fighters to escape close encounters with one another.

      And that meant far more gruesome and blood-drawing exchanges than in regular bouts.
      Post-fight snaps of the combatants showed the devastating effects of repeatedly being hit in the face bare knuckle.
      Most, if not all, of the fighters on the card suffered serious swelling to their faces.
      There were black eyes aplenty too.
      Unsurprisingly, there were some serious hand injuries after the fights – with main eventer Carlos Guerra being one of the fighters sporting a swollen hand after his clash with Seth Shaffer.

      Guerra and Shaffer’s welterweight title fight served as the showpiece bout for the BYB 14.
      Shaffer left the Indigo with the belt thanks to a second-round TKO victory – which came courtesy of a nasty straight-right, left-hook combination.
      A bloodied and bruised Guerra tried to beat the count but was unable to rise to his feet before the ref reached ten.

      Guerra’s blood was ultimately the last to be spilt on the canvas on another gruesome night at the Indigo.
      But given the growth of bare-knuckle boxing over the last few years, it most definitely won’t be the last.

      Boxing legend Mayweather confirmed the negotiations but UFC superstar McGregor publicly shut down the prospect of fighting the former five-weight world champion again.
      But The Notorious has seemingly had a change of heart – insisting he’d “end” Money if they were to share the ring a second time.
      In response to a tweet from newly-crowned undisputed middleweight champion Claressa Shields, McGregor said: “You’ve [Shields] way more venom than Floyd.
      “I beat Floyd if we rematch. Untold truth it was me who carried him the early rounds playing pitty patty.

      McGregor and Mayweather, 34 and 45 respectively, locked horns with one another in a multi-million-pound Las Vegas showdown five years ago.
      MMA great McGregor made a good start to the Sin City showdown but ultimately succumbed to fatigue.

      Mayweather took full advantage of the Irishman’s tiredness and went on to register a tenth-round TKO victory – which stretched his record to a perfect 50-0.
      McGregor is currently in the final stages of recovering from the horrific broken leg he suffered in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last July.
      An autumn return was seemingly on the cards but was nixed as the former two-division champion’s kicking is currently not 100 per cent.
      When asked about McGregor’s role in the upcoming Road House remake, manager Tim Simpson said: “Acting wasn’t something I think Conor had at the very front of his mind, right now he’s still a world-class athlete and his focus is being the best fighter in the world.
      “But as the injury continues to heal and he continues to prepare for a comeback, the timing worked well.
      “It’s a great opportunity to do a big Hollywood blockbuster in meantime and he’s going to kill it.
      “He’s still on track for a big return next year, but this fits in perfectly in the meantime.

      “The leg is still healing, I think there’s a little bit more to go on that but he’s been training like a madman. Twice a day, every day.
      “He’s been training super hard, he’s in amazing shape it’s just the final adjustments to get that leg where it’s supposed to be.” More

      Ricky Hatton admits he wanted to ‘rip the TV off the wall’ during Anthony Joshua’s emotional rant after Usyk loss

      by

      BRITISH boxing legend Ricky Hatton says he “felt like ripping the TV off the wall” after Anthony Joshua’s meltdown in the aftermath of his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk.Joshua, 33, was beaten by Ukrainian Usyk twice but his emotions got the better of him after their rematch for the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles.

      The Brit chucked Usyk’s belts out of the ring before grabbing a mic and going on a bizarre rant after the split decision loss.
      And Hatton has taken aim at Joshua’s team for not stepping in and stopping him from embarrassing himself.
      In fact, Hatton who was in Tenerife at the time, “felt like ripping the TV off the wall” as Joshua spoke on the mic to the Saudi crowd.
      Hatton told Secondsout: “Obviously, he didn’t take the final decision kindly.

      “He went up to the opposite corner, giving them the fist a little bit. That was too heavy for my liking.
      “Someone in that corner should have turned around and said, ‘Oh, AJ is losing it.’ Emotions are all over in a fight of that magnitude.
      “You just got beat, I get it, and it should have been someone putting their arm around him and saying, ‘Hey AJ, come on, mate. Let’s get out of the ring because you’re not too good.’
      “No, they allowed it to happen. They allowed him to chuck belts out of the ring.

      “They allowed him to get the microphone. What was his corner doing when they saw him with the microphone? He should never be in anyone’s corner again that lot. Shocking behaviour, shocking corner work.
      “Not everyone is having a pop at AJ. AJ could have been saved from all of that stuff by his team. It’s all about having the good team around me.
      “That’s why I pretty much had the same team my whole career. Nobody knows you better than the people that have been with you your whole life.
      “They obviously come over from America. I have no idea why they came over. I think they could have done a lot better for AJ in the corner.
      “I think that could have been stopped. If I had been in the corner, that would have never have happened because you could see him losing it.
      “He needed an arm around him. ‘Come on, mate, let’s get back to the corner.’
      “They just stood there and watched him. I was in Tenerife watching it. I felt like ripping the TV off the wall.”
      Hatton is confident Joshua has some big heavyweight fights left in him.

      There were negotiations over a WBC title fight with Tyson Fury, but both parties couldn’t agree a deal.
      Hatton continued: “There’s still a lot of good heavyweight fights out there for him to get involved in. Hopefully, he’ll find one.” More

      The American returned to the ring on Saturday night and brutally knocked out Robert Helenius inside a round.
      Now the WBC are expected to order a final eliminator between Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr, with the victor earning a shot at Fury’s belt.
