      He said: “I’ve changed my training routine and I’ve been more focused on what I’ve been eating.
      “Food is the problem for me, not training. I’ve run a marathon, and I run three or four times a week, no problem. Food is the big problem, and I’ve got on top of that.

      Brit boxing up-and-comer Jamie TKV left covered in blood with gruesome eye injury in brutal shock loss to late stand-in

      But late-notice opponent, Brazil’s Igor Macedo, butchered his right eye with a savage right hand.
      TKV – real surname Tshikeva – dropped his hands as soon as he suffered the sixth-round blow and blood started squirting down his face.
      And he was rushed out of York Hall and straight to hospital to have the gruesome wound stitched up.
      TKV has enjoyed a big push from BOXXER promoters and Sky Sports but he was horribly mismatched against Brazil’s heavyweight champion, who had earned all of his 11 wins inside the distance.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The Brit had been talking up future fights with compatriot rivals like Frazer Clarke and Fabio Wardley but he now faces possible plastic surgery on his eye and a career rebuild.
      Macedo meanwhile celebrated by having a bible handed to him in the ring and holding the Good Book aloft.
      TKV made a slow start and rapidly built up speed going downhill.
      Despite being a growing star on the London heavyweight sparring scene – and earning plenty of praise for his hand speed and bodywork – he had a howler in Bethnal Green.

      From the very first bell, Macedo’s unpredictable style and booming right hands gave TKV nightmares and the Englishman’s corner kept begging him to wake up.
      Eventually, it was a textbook one-two – a left jab and right hand – that made TKV’s eyebrow burst open.
      And the referee wasted little time waving off the fight and letting the brutalised Brit dash off for urgent medical attention.

      Canelo Alvarez rolls back years to defeat Charlo in dominant display then roars ‘nobody can beat this, I’m a strong man’

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ proved he’s still a force to be reckoned with thanks to a dominant victory over Jermell Charlo.The pride of Mexico defended his undisputed super middleweight throne against his 160lbs counterpart in front of a sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas early on Sunday morning.

      The tall, rangy and explosive Charlo was, on paper, expected to give the face of boxing some trouble.
      That trouble, however, didn’t materialise as Canelo asserted his dominance from the first to the final bell on his way to earning a lopsided points decision.
      There were no shenanigans from the judges, who scored scoring the contest 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109 in favour of the Guadalajara gladiator.
      A fired-up Canelo, 33, roared: “I’m the best. Who’s better? Nobody can beat this Canelo.”

      He added: “I’m a strong fighter all the time. I’m a strong man.”
      Challenger Charlo was floored for only the second time in his career in the seventh round after eating a beautiful uppercut moments after a big overhand right.
      Canelo said of the knockdown: “I worked all the fight to go in the body.
      “Then I changed the punch and that’s what happened. We worked for that.

      “He knows how to move in the ring and we worked that in the gym for three months.
      “Three months in the mountains without my family, without everything.
      “But I still love boxing. Boxing made me the person I am today. Boxing is my life.”
      Former undisputed light-middleweight champion Charlo – who was stripped of his WBO crown as soon as the first bell rang – cut a dejected figure after coming up short in the biggest fight of his career.
      He said: “I just feel like I wasn’t me in there. It’s boxing.
      “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.”
      Disappointment with his performance aside, Charlo is proud of going the distance with the sport’s former pound-for-pound king.
      “I’m proud of myself,” a crestfallen Charlo said. “He didn’t knock me out. He hit me with some hard shots.”

      Tyson Fury says he’ll be ‘ridiculed’ for Francis Ngannou loss like Man Utd were after 7-0 hammering by Liverpool

      by

      TYSON FURY has compared the prospect of losing to Francis Ngannou to the battering his beloved Manchester United suffered at the hands of Liverpool last season.The Gypsy King locks horns with the former UFC heavyweight champion in a controversial crossover clash in Saudi Arabia next month.

      Fury is an overwhelming favourite to come out of the desert dust-up victorious but insists he’s not taking the boxing novice lightly.
      And he’s all too aware of the stain losing the Saudi showdown will leave on his career, much like Manchester United’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool in March has done with Erik ten Hag’s reign as Red Devils boss.
      He told TNT Sports: “He’s about 6ft 5in tall, he’s about 278 pounds, he’s about 18 or 19 stone, a dynamite puncher with both hands.
      “He’s recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the hardest puncher to have ever punched anything, so there’s that risk.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “The biggest risk of all is fighting an MMA fighter, and I’m the world heavyweight champion, so what happens if he beats me? Ridiculed.
      “It would be like getting beat by Liverpool for Manchester United, 7-0, wouldn’t it?
      “How do you come back from that?”
      Despite Ngannou’s lack of professional boxing experience, Fury, 35, is treating the MMA man-mountain the same way he has all his previous opponents.

      He said: “All of these opponents I face, they are all risky fights, or are all big men – like anyone over 14 stone is a big man.
      ‘All of these guys are big lumps and when I fight them the risk is always the same, they’ve got a puncher’s chance.
      “But I never leave a stone unturned.
      ‘That’s one thing I do. I always do everything I can in my power to be successful.
      “The way I look at it is, if this guy is going to beat me then fair play to him I will shake his hand, he must be a good fighter because I’m no easy man to beat as I’ve shown over the years.
      ‘So if I can bump into somebody that can beat me, I would say, ‘Fantastic, fair play to you, well done,’ take them for a beer and that’s it.”
      Fury is set to perform a quick turnaround after his ten-rounder with Ngannou for a historic undisputed heavyweight title fight with former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
      SunSport understands the fight is on course to take place in Saudi on December 23, although it could be pushed back to January. More

      Tyson Fury BANNED from cooking at home after ‘absolutely disgusting’ incident as Paris reveals his love of bacon pudding

      by

      TYSON FURY may be the king of the heavyweights, but he’s far from the king of his kitchen.The Gypsy King has been banished from whipping up meals in the hub of the home by his wife Paris for once serving up a plate of slop for the kids after labouring away for five hours.

      But none one of the kids wanted to the meal wife Paris likened to ‘sludge’Credit: NETFLIX

      And the ordeal, which Paris recalls in her second book, still haunts her to this day.
      She wrote: “With the whole house smelling like rotten dog food, he called us all into the kitchen and started dishing out bowls of lumpy grey sludge.
      “It looked absolutely disgusting.”
      Tyson, 35, may be creative in the ring but that doesn’t make him a dab hand in the kitchen – which he’s only allowed in to eat his meals and hang out with the kids.

      Paris continued: “Unsurprisingly, none of us would go near it – even Tyson decided to give it a miss – and five minutes later the whole lot went to the neighbour’s dog.
      “Other than manning the summer barbecue (which, like with many men, appeals to his hunter-gatherer nature) my husband is now banned from any cooking duties.
      “It’s just not worth the hassle.”
      The pandemic, as it did with many families, brought the Fury clan – which got a little bigger this month – closer.

      And like many people, Tyson developed a specific “craving” for meals close to his heart – in particular bacon pudding.
      “Tyson really loved sampling bacon pudding again – it brought back all his boyhood memories – although it has to be off the menu if he’s training for a fight,” Paris recalled.
      Paris knows all too well the importance of her hubby following a strict diet when he’s in training camp as she used to cook his meals before he hired a full-time nutritionist and chef.
      She said: “Whenever that’s the case, Tyson has to follow a strict low-carb, protein-rich diet devised specifically by his nutritionist.
      “Gone are the days when, as part of the #TeamFury entourage, it was my job to keep him well-fed and nourished before a big fight.
      “He’s won many a title belt on my grilled salmon and roast vegetables.”
      WBC heavyweight champion Fury won’t be inhaling any comfort food any time soon as he has back-to-back fights coming up.
      The Wythenshawe warrior will lock horns with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a controversial crossover clash on October 28.
      And he’ll dive straight back into training camp for his long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with unified king Oleksandr Usyk, which is currently in the works for December 23. More

      Hearn has told multiple media outlets he is eyeing the final Saturday before Christmas for the clash.

      The bout has been tipped to take place on December 23, though fight promoters have not ruled out a January contest.
      Fury, 35, is set to face Francis Ngannou on October 28, which will give the Gyspy King just eight weeks to prepare for the undisputed heavyweight clash.
