      Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez went from friendly sparring partners to bitter enemies as trilogy bout awaits rivals

      by

      GENNADY GOLOVKIN and Canelo Alvarez were once friendly sparring partners… now they are bitter enemies on the verge of an epic trilogy. The former middleweight opponents have already produced 24 classic rounds together and will renew their rivalry for a third time on September 17.
      Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez were once sparring partners
      Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez sparred in 2011 before going on to meet twice in the ring
      But their history dates back over a decade, when a 20-year-old Canelo travelled to Big Bear California for sparring with Golovkin, who was 28 at the time.
      Both were world champions, but it was a year before GGG’s Stateside debut and Canelo was still largely unproven.
      Golovkin, now 40, tells SunSport: “We had very good sparring sessions back then. Those were exciting spars to watch.”
      The pair would pose for pictures arm in arm and compliment each other, not knowing they would later share an iconic rivalry.

      But as the years went on, and an inevitable fight grew ever closer, the relationship soured with egos at an all-time high.
      Golovkin recalls: “We had a normal relationship. But he then felt too much of himself.
      “He’s now a big star so the consequences of that was probably a side effect of him shooting to fame.”
      Golovkin never forgave Canelo for vacating the WBC title in 2016 when the Kazakh was mandatory, meaning talks between them collapsed.

      But a year later GGG did get the Mexican in the ring – only to leave it with more frustration.
      Canelo was deemed fortunate to walk away with a disputed draw, setting the scene for a blockbuster rematch 12 months later.
      Again for Golovkin, he felt hard done by after being on the end of a majority points loss, conceding bragging rights to his old gym pal.
      It helped launch Canelo to new heights, the heir to the pound-for-pound throne Floyd Mayweather left in retirement.
      But as the time passed, and with a trilogy not forthcoming, Alvarez’s hate for GGG only grew stronger, despite the win on his record.
      Whereas Golovkin, who controversially lost in the eyes of many ringside, remained indifferent from the animosity.
      Canelo has even said the feud is “personal” – something Triple-G was quick to distance himself from.
      He explains: “I don’t feel any hatred towards him. To me, he’s just an athlete, just another human being. Just a boxer.
      “I guess that’s how he as a human being decided to behave and decided to think of himself, love himself and position himself.”

      Canelo, 32, went on to become a four-division champ after his rematch win over Golovkin, who remained at middleweight.
      But the 160lb legend will move up to super-middleweight for the first time in his career to challenge for Canelo’s undisputed crown.
      The third instalment of their fight collection appears, from the outside at least, to be the most intense.
      But Golovkin insists he acknowledges no difference in the man he has twice gone the distance with – mainly because he chooses not to.
      He says: “I don’t feel like he is any different because I honestly don’t think about him.
      “Too much attention is being placed on him, but he’s not bothering me at all.
      “The way he behaved has shown his true personality, recently.”

      Canelo has vowed to send Golovkin into retirement by putting a brutal beatdown in Las Vegas.
      But ahead of what could be his final fight, GGG quips: “I’m going to retire soon anyway. With his help or without his help.
      “Let’s face it, I’m 40 years old and nearing my retirement.”

      Tyson Fury’s trilogy fight with Derek Chisora eyed for December at Cardiff’s 75,000-seat Principality Stadium

      by

      TYSON FURY and Derek Chisora’s trilogy fight is eyed for December at Cardiff’s 75,000-seat Principality Stadium. Fury twice beat Chisora – in 2011 and then 2014 – before the pair later went on to enjoy a friendship.

      But lately, the relationship has soured leading to talk of an unlikely trilogy bout between the two.
      According to ESPN, the fight is targeted for December in Wales, where Anthony Joshua has twice headlined.
      And it is claimed Goldstar Promotions – the company that handles Fury’s meet-and-greets across the UK – are behind the offer.
      That is despite Hall of Fame pair Frank Warren and Bob Arum leading the WBC champion’s career in recent years.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      It remains unknown if Fury is still contracted to Arum’s Top Rank stable or Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.
      The Gypsy King and Chisora always maintained they had a verbal agreement in place for a third fight together.
      But after Chisora picked Joshua and Dillian Whyte to beat Fury, their friendship was no more.
      It has led to recent back and forth between the two and Chisora, 38, demanded a contract be sent his way.

      He said: “Tyson, stop talking s***e, mate. Phone mummy and daddy – mummy’s Frank Warren, daddy is f***ing Bob Arum.
      “Tell them you want to hang out with me, OK? And send me the paperwork bitch.”
      But Fury hit back: “I don’t need to speak to anybody.
      “I spoke to your management team, we’re all good. Everything is sorted, looking good. Contract be over or a day or so.
      “Peace out, you’re getting knocked out.”
      Fury, 33, announced his retirement in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte, 34, in April at Wembley Stadium.

      But he remains linked with a return to fight Joshua, 32, or Oleksandr Usyk, 35, who rematch on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
      Although Fury appears to have his sights set on old rival Chisora, who he CONFIRMED his comeback will be against.
      He said: “I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies.
      “One with Deontay Wilder and a second one with Derek Chisora. I always said I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career.
      “And here we are, breaking all records again, setting precedents.”
      Fury, a known boxing historian, was not quite on the money, as Muhammad Ali had trilogies with Ken Norton and Joe Frazier.

      Evander Holyfield also had three-fight series with Riddick Bowe and John Ruiz.
      Fury, who famously enjoys fooling the media, also made another surprise announcement in claiming featherweight Isaac Lowe, 28, will be his new trainer.

      ‘Send me the paperwork’ – Derek Chisora demands Tyson Fury trilogy bout contract and tells rival to ‘stop talking s***e’

      ‘I would love to’ – Jake Paul called out to fight by Tito Ortiz but UFC legend admits he is an ‘AMATEUR’ in boxing

      by

      TITO ORTIZ is open to a fight against Jake Paul – but the UFC legend admitted he is an “AMATEUR” when it comes to boxing. Ortiz held the UFC light-heavyweight title from 2000-2003 and most recently fought in MMA against ex-WWE star Alberto Del Rio in 2019.

      But the American, 47, made a shock switch to the ring last September, losing to MMA great Anderson Silva, also 47.
      It leaves Ortiz winless in the ring but still refusing to rule out a bout with YouTuber-turned prizefighter Paul, 25.
      He said on Chris Van Villet’s podcast: “I would love to. That’d be amazing.
      “That would be fun. Once again, I have an 0-1 record, he has a [5-0] record. I still feel like I’m an amateur in boxing.

      “I do a lot in mixed martial arts, but I still feel myself as an amateur but I’m competitive. I’m very competitive.”
      Ortiz is yet to return since his first-round knockout loss to Silva.
      Whereas Paul most recently knocked out Tyron Woodley, 40, last December, four months after beating the ex-UFC champ on points.
      He also has KOs over online rival “AnEsonGib”, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 38.

      Paul was set to face Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, in his comeback fight on August 6 at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden.
      But a weight disagreement between the two forced the entire MSG event to be cancelled only a week out.
      As revealed by SunSport, Paul is now eyeing a return in October for his sixth professional bout.
      Rahman was due to be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record after Tommy Fury, 23, twice pulled out, with injury and a visa issue.

      In the short sequence, boxing’s former pound-for-pound king can be seen firing off quick combinations and showing off slick defence.
      Mayweather has boxed in three exhibitions since retiring in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
      They came against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 23, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
      Mayweather, 45, also recently announced that he will return in September back in Japan, against MMA star Mikuru Asakura, 29.

      And the newly-inducted Hall of Famer recently opened the door to coming back and putting his illustrious 50-0 record on the line.
      He told FightHype: “I got three more exhibitions this year, could be one fight and two exhibitions.
      “But guess what, you better know it’s at least and this is the lowest I’m talking about $200million.”
      It comes amid rumours Mayweather is currently negotiating a rematch with McGregor, 34.

      John Fury was sent to jail for 11 years and is the bare-knuckle fighter dad of Tyson Fury who courts controversy

      by

      TYSON FURY’S rise to heavyweight boxing glory is largely down to one man – his father John.The 33-year-old WBC champ, who brilliantly defended his title against Dillian Whyte in May, featured in ITV’s warts-and-all documentary Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.

      His Irish-born dad was a boxer too, fighting 13 professional bouts.
      He also fought in bare-knuckle brawls and claims he won £100,000 in one bout.
      John Fury, 58, also served four years of an 11-year sentence for gouging a man’s eye out in a sickening attack.
      And such is John’s influence on his son, it is believed he is the reason why Tyson parted ways with long-term trainer Ben Davison.
      Just like Tyson, life began in the ring for John.
      He had very little choice. Born in Galway, it was a family tradition to enter the fight game.

      And he was good at it too.
      Standing at 6ft 3in, John fought 13 times as a pro boxer in the 1980s and 90s for a record of 8-4-1 at heavyweight.
      His one title fight ended up being a defeat against Yorkshire-born Neil Malpass in 1989.
      Journeyman Malpass pummelled John and won on points in a ten-round contest.
      John fought four more times after that, retiring after losing his final fight against Steve Garber at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester in 1995.
      STREET FIGHTING MAN
      But he was also more than handy at bare-knuckle fighting.
      John, who later coached Tyson and his brother, Love Island star Tommy, told the Daily Star: “In 1992, I fought the ­so-called ­champion at the time, an Irishman whose name I can’t even remember, over in Ireland.

      “With stakes and everything, I came up over a hundred grand.
      “The fights I had were usually over within seconds.
      “I weren’t an especially big puncher, but, once I got going, I’d not stop swinging until they were out cold.
      “I’d not come up for air. I just wanted to kill. I’d hit them with fists, elbows, head, teeth and feet until they dropped and give best [surrendered].
      “If they didn’t, I’d kick their face off, it was up to them. Afterwards, shake hands and on to the next one.
      “In my twenties I was a really ­formidable force.”
      When he quit fighting he became Tyson’s trainer, steering him to the British title after just eight contests.

      NAMED HIS SON AFTER MIKE TYSON
      When Tyson Fury was born back in 1988, Mike Tyson ruled supreme as undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
      But the baby was three months premature and weighed just 1lb.
      Fury was given slim chances of survival by doctors, but proved he was a fighter from birth.
      Father John Fury explained on ITV’s documentary Tyson Fury – The Gypsy King: “He was just a pound in weight.
      “The doctor said he probably won’t make it, he’s very weak.
      “I said to all them doctors, he won’t be small, I said he’ll be nearly 7ft tall, 20 stone, the next heavyweight champion of the world.
      “I thought, ‘There’s only one name fitting for him, he’s fought hard to become a person living in this world.’
      “Mike Tyson was the best in the world at that time.
      “Tyson Luke Fury – that’s his name.”
      A TIME FOR REFLECTION
      Fighting got John in serious trouble in 2011.
      A 12-year grudge with Oathie Sykes boiled over and John tried to gouge his foe’s eye out in a fight at a car auction.
      John, the self-confessed ‘hardest man in Britain’, broke down in court as he pleaded for a lenient sentence.
      He told the court: “I’m worried about my son. His boxing career is on the line.
      “If I could give my own eye to him to get back to my children I would do – I’m begging you for my life.”
      But Skyes offered a different testimony, saying: “It was like he was trying to pull his finger into my brains through my socket.”

      RELEASED WHEN HIS SON WAS CHAMP
      In 2015, John was released from prison after serving four years of his sentence.
      Two months later, his family were celebrating Tyson becoming heavyweight champion of the world after his epic victory against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany.
      John was ringside, and he couldn’t have been prouder of his boy.
      Reformed John was also ready to be a calming influence on his son’s life.
      John told the BBC: “Sometimes his mental state can carry him away but I can understand and help with that.
      “I’ve been very unlucky, but very lucky as well because my son has remained undefeated [during my time in prison] and come on in leaps and bounds.
      “But when I think he is going down the wrong way I can pull him up and tell him ‘we don’t need that’.”

      NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK HIS MIND
      Since his release, John has become a media pundit for his son’s fights, primarily those taking place in the US because he can’t get a visa to travel to the States due to his criminal record.
      Fury admitted: “I’ve been a naughty boy and there is no point hiding it. I’m not allowed in the country.”
      He’s appeared on BT Sport, and was critical of Tyson’s trainer Ben Davison after his son struggled to overcome Otto Wallin, surviving a nasty gash on his eye that required plastic surgery to fix.
      It was no coincidence that Davison was relieved of his duties after that fight.
      He told BT Sport: “I’ve never seen him as bad.
      “He looked weight-drained, he looked like he’d left it all in the gym to be honest with you.”
      Not mincing his words, he added: “I’m being honest about it, he’s my son, I’m a straight talker, that’s the worst I’ve seen my son.
      John Fury often appears on BT Sport to talk about his son’s fights

      “But what I can say? I’m very proud of the way he mauled his way through it, he showed world class heart and he will come again.
      “He needs to go back to the drawing board and see what’s gone wrong here. And be honest to look in the mirror and say, ‘Things ain’t gone right.’
      “He needs to look where he’s gone wrong. I’ve half an idea, but that’s for my own.”
      But John has since seen Tyson overcome Deontay Wilder twice, before seeing off Whyte to enter retirement unbeaten.
      However, it’s now reckoned Fury is lining up a stunning comeback with a trilogy against Derek Chisora or match-up against Hafthor Bjornsson in his sights More

      Joshua has been working hard in preparation for the epic bout.
      And the winner could end up facing Tyson Fury to unify the division – should the Gypsy King come out of retirement.

      The Ukrainian was the classier fighter in the first match despite his smaller stature.
      But new training footage shows Usyk has packed on more more muscle in a bid to make his punches extra powerful.
      The ace also looks to have retained his lightning hand speed and quick feet.
      And fans reckon that, combined with a bulkier frame, Usyk could have too much for AJ to handle again.

      Tyson Fury CONFIRMS boxing comeback for Derek Chisora trilogy and claims featherweight Isaac Lowe will be new coach

      TYSON FURY has CONFIRMED he will return to boxing for a trilogy with Derek Chisora and claimed Isaac Lowe will be his new coach. The British boxing legend announced his retirement in April after knocking out Dillian Whyte.
      Tyson Fury claims Isaac Lowe will be his coach for a trilogy with Derek Chisora
      But Fury has had a hard time convincing anyone his fighting days are up, especially with Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk waiting in the wings.
      Although the Gypsy King appears to have his sights set on old rival Chisora, who he beat in 2011 and 2014, as opposed to AJ or Usyk.
      He said: “I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies.
      “One with Deontay Wilder and a second one with Derek Chisora. I always said I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career.

      “When I was with Ben, Isaac’s always been there and when I was with SugarHill, Isaac’s always been there.

      “We’ve always been together and we’re going to finish this out together. We’ve always worked very well together.
      “And here we are, about to take on a massive, massive event.”
      Lowe, 28, added: “I’m looking forward to it. It’s a new challenge for me and I’ve been with you all your career and I think I can put something new to it.

      “I’m looking forward to it. It’s a tough task but something to look forward to going forward.”
      Lowe has 21 wins, three draws and two losses in his own career, recently facing back-to-back defeat.
