      Eddie Hearn calls out ‘ridiculous’ retired boxer and fumes ‘come back when you’ve finished your tantrum’

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has told Shakur Stevenson to come back to boxing whenever he is ready to stop sulking. Stevenson, regarded as one of the most talented boxers in the world at just 26, announced a shock retirement online.

      He posted: “I’m officially retiring from the sport of boxing I’ll be in the gym forever perfecting my craft and helping the next generation become great and chase they dreams but I ain’t (f*** with) this weak boxing game.”
      Stevenson, 26, has been campaigning to challenge for the vacant WBO lightweight world title against Emanuel Navarrete, 29.
      But the organisation instead picked Denys Berinchyk, 35, to fight Navarrete for the belt vacated by Devin Haney, 25.
      So an enraged Stevenson – who holds the WBC 135lb title – announced his retirement in protest.

      But boxing promoter Hearn is not buying it.
      He told FightHype: “It’s ridiculous. Like I don’t even know why we give this kind of stuff airtime.
      “Like, Shakur Stevenson, one of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet, he’s so boring. How old is the guy, 26?
      “Of course he’s not retiring. Just say to him, ‘Alright, mate. Bye. Come back to us when you’ve finished your tantrum.’

      “What Shakur Stevenson should be doing is actually getting off Twitter because I rate him as one of the top fighters in the world.
      “Do you think a fan wants to read about Shakur Stevenson sulking about the politics of boxing and saying he’s retiring and then when he comes back, what, do you expect people to support him even more?”

      Despite Stevenson’s claim, he has opened the door to a swift return for the right price and fight.
      He said: “I’m waiting for the opportunity for me to come out of retirement.
      “I got a WBC belt. So all roads to undisputed, being at 135, it come through me.
      “We can already see them unifying, Lomachenko and a Navarrete fight.
      “They can’t become the undisputed champion without coming to get the WBC strap off of me.
      “They can do whatever they want, but I’m still going to be right here waiting on everybody. My opportunity got to come.
      “There’s no way of becoming undisputed at 135 without one of those dudes coming to see me.”

      John Fury challenges ex-world champ to huge fight at Wembley and demands ‘get the contracts signed … I won’t back out’

      by

      JOHN FURY has challenged Carl Froch to a fight at Wembley to settle their war of words.The two men have become embroiled in a bitter feud since former unified super-middleweight champion blasted John’s son Tyson Fury.

      He wants to fight ‘The Cobra’ at Wembley and insists he won’t back out of itCredit: talkSPORT
      It began when the 46-year-old Cobra questioned the WBC heavyweight champion’s career ahead of his undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
      Froch said: “What’s he ever done? Who has he actually beaten?”
      Fury’s father hit back by calling his fellow Brit a “s******se” and then claimed that he would “kick him up the a***”.
      That has not deterred Froch, who then questioned how the Gypsy King was allowed to suffer a cut in sparring, which ultimately led to his fight with Usyk being postponed, so close to fight night.

      Now the ever-outspoken Fury senior has come out swinging and wants to settle it the old school way with Froch.
      Speaking in a video clip that was posted on Roman Fury’s Instagram story, John said: “Video to Carl The Snake Froch. You’re having plenty to say mate on your little podcast channel.
      “John Fury’s rung the bell for you again, got you plenty of content, plenty of viewing figures that you were after.
      “Listen, your mate George Groves said something very interesting. You and me, Wembley Stadium, 93,000 crowd. I’m up for that my friend.

      “You’ve had plenty to say. I have. I stand by every word that I’ve said. You don’t like me. Let’s see what you can do about it.
      “Hater versus Top Father – that’s what we’ll call this. But, it’s got to make business sense. Because it’s a business, let’s not forget that.

      “Get your people to contact me directly… get the contracts drawn up, I will fight you, Wembley Stadium, this year.
      “Don’t worry about that. John Fury will not back out of the fight with you my friend.”
      Froch latest swipe at Fury came at the weekend as he blamed “sloppy” Fury’s trainer for allowing Croatian heavyweight Argon Smakici to get too close to the champ in sparring.
      He said: “I don’t think there’s any excuse for him to get cut. It never happened to me. I used to wear a face guard.
      “No elbows can get through so you mitigate getting injured. That’s what you should be doing before a fight of this magnitude – taking massive precautions.
      “I’m blaming his trainer, I’m blaming Tyson himself for not taking that precaution, whether you’re uncomfortable in it or not.
      “He’s got cut in sparring two weeks before the biggest fight of his life. This is the unification, undisputed heavyweight title fight we’ve all been waiting for.

      “At two weeks out he should be keeping his sparring partners at a distance, working on what he needs to work on when he’s fighting Usyk.
      “Of course the guys are going to get close to you during sparring, but from the clips I’ve seen Fury was having a bit of a push around and a move, he was looking sloppy.”

      JAKE PAUL’S next opponent was forced into a major career change before making a boxing comeback for the fight of his life. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming.

      And he will do so against his most experienced opponent yet in Ryan Bourland, who holds a record of 17-2.
      Bourland is a former amateur champion but in 2018 he hung up his gloves and worked on the oil rigs.
      He said: “Boxing is not easy.
      “Taking punches isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I’ve been doing it for a long time, but I’m not making that much money.

      “I haven’t had health insurance for a while.”
      On working on the oil rigs, Bourland said: “It’s dangerous and hard work, but boxing is dangerous and is really hard work.
      “After they saw my resume, I got a couple of calls, and they told me ‘You are exactly what we are looking for.’
      “My dad told me, ‘You’re crazy. You know how cold it is up there?’

      “By the time I pay my team and train for two months, it’s not that much.”
      Bourland did make a return in 2022 and defeated Santario Martin, his third win on the spin.
      Paul, 27, meanwhile suffered his first defeat last year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
      He bounced back six months later to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points over ten rounds.
      But in his next fight, Paul announced plans to take a more traditional boxing approach to face more seasoned but less-known opposition.
      That started in December when he took on 10-1-1 boxer Andre August, 35, who he knocked out in the first round.
      Now Bourland, 35, will be the next man in line to face Paul, who has been insistent on one day challenging for a world title.

      But, with just over two weeks to go, Fury suffered a horrendous cut in sparring that left him with no choice but to withdraw from the bout. 
      The two later featured on The MMA Hour to confirm they had agreed to a rearranged date of May 18.
      Usyk was in the gym when he was told of the devastating news – but he refused to be fazed.
      He said: “My reaction was just to smile, I am training after my sparring my team told me that Tyson fury was cut.

      “After that, I just smiled and went back to training.”
      Both men have also agreed to hand over over £10MILLION of their own cash if either are to pullout within the next three months.
      Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh revealed if Usyk is to withdraw, Anthony Joshua, 34, will be given the chance to replace him and fight Fury.
      But if lightening strikes twice and again Fury, 35, is forced out, then Usyk, 37, will get to choose a replacement opponent.

      “It’s a cut that you can’t help and these things happen in camp sometimes.
      “I know His Excellency has spent a lot of money on promotion, there’s nothing that anybody can do, It’s god’s will.”

      The winner was being primed to then fight either Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, who were set to collide three weeks earlier.

      A rescheduled date has now been set for May 18, with the pair also contracted to a rematch.
      That would mean a far longer wait for AJ, 34.

      But disaster struck just two weeks out as Fury suffered a horror cut in sparring that left him with no choice but to withdraw from the bout.
      It came as a hammer blow for Usyk, who had been so focused on training he missed the birth of his daughter last Thursday.
      His sparring partner Emanuel Odiase told The Mirror: “I don’t know if a lot of people know this, but he missed his baby’s birth for this. He was in Spain preparing when his wife was giving birth in Ukraine.
      “He was so focused on camp that he stayed in Spain and he missed it for that, so it’s extra annoying I can imagine.

      “As the man he is, I don’t think he will get distracted. I wish them all the best and a lot of health, it’s annoying but that’s life.
      “You’ve got to stay cool, calm and collected because if you let that stuff get in your head it’s not good for you.”
