      Kenny says
      “We put in so much hard work. But I want to thank God for helping through me camp physically and mentally. Thank you to Whindersson for giving me this opportunity and thank you to Brazil for coming out tonight, you’ve got amazing energy.
      “I had my jab so easy and clean from round one. I was able to work everything off that. It wasn’t easy, he kept coming forward like the Terminator and was eating my punches.”
      Breaking news
      AnEson Gib will fight King Kenny in the Kingpyn High Stakes men’s tournament final.
      That bout will likely take place later this year.
      Kenny completely dominated Whindersson in the main event of tonight’s card in Dublin.
      Kenny wins!
      Was there ever any doubt?
      King Kenny wins it 50-44 on all three scorecards.
      He takes his place in the final of Kingpyn with a brilliant performance.
      Round 5
      It’s over. Whindersson has been put out of his misery.
      Kenny has literally toyed with him for five rounds. A quite stunning performance.
      The judges will make it official…
      Round 4
      This is nothing more than a sparring session for Kenny at the moment.
      He’s picking his shots and landing at will. Combinations, flurries, hooks, jabs. It’s all there for Kenny at the moment.
      The crowd is silenced. Whindersson is trying everything and is having no joy.
      One more round and it would have to be something very dramatic for Kenny not to win this.
      Round 3
      Whindersson trying his hardest to get into this fight, but he just can’t get near Kenny.
      The Watford man is in complete control and wins another round.
      Kenny might be wearing Brazil colours, but his teammates are lapping it up in Argentina football shirts and a replica World Cup.
      Round 2
      What a massive round for Kenny and Whindersson seemingly has no answers.
      Kenny is walking him down and dominating.
      The fans are trying to lift the Brazilian, but this is one way traffic.
      Whindersson down!
      Whindersson is down! HUGE left hook!
      So much for Kenny showboating but not hurting in round one.
      Well he’s on fire here in round two and looking to finish Whindersson.
      He and his fans are stunned.
      Round 1
      Kenny puts on a show in round one.
      Not sure how much he impacted or hurt Nunes really, but he certainly showed his showboating and flashiness.
      Round one to Kenny for sure with his slick boxing on the outside. Whindersson yet to get going.
      Seconds out
      The formalities are over, the fighters have had their final instructions.
      We’re ready to roll in the main event of the evening.
      Electric atmosphere in Dublin.
      What an entrance
      The roof just came off this place as Whindersson made his entrance.
      Incredible noise in the arena. He rapped along to the words as well.
      We’re all set for a cracker.
      Here we go
      King Kenny is on his way to the ring, playing Brazilian music and wearing the Brazil colours on his robe.
      He knows exactly what he’s doing in front of a pro-Brazilian crowd cheering on Whindersson.
      Main event
      Who will AnEson Gib face in the Kingpyn High Stakes tournament final?
      We’ll find out very shortly with Whindersson and Kenny set to make their way to the ring.
      Gib says
      “I have all respect for Jarvis. Kenny, Whindersson I’m coming for you. Whoever wins I’ll see you in the final.
      “People said I was underestimating him but he’s nothing I didn’t know. I smoked him for five rounds.”
      Gib wins!
      It’s comprehensive and unanimous. AnEson Gib is into the final of the Kingpyn tournament.
      Very impressive.
      Round 5
      And it’s over. We go to the scorecards.
      Gib looks the happier man and for good reason. He took control of that bout in the second half.
      We’ll see how the judges saw it in just a second.
      Round 4
      Gib really stamping his authority now. He’s in the ascendancy here and Jarvis is getting left behind.
      He’s being pushed back and worn down. One round to go and it looks like Jarvis needs to win it, if not get a knockdown.
      Round 3
      Gib with some brilliant combinations that catch the eye and get a roar from the crowd in round three.
      It’s good, but it’s few and far between. Jarvis hanging in with him through the rounds other than for a few Gib clashes.
      Round 2
      Jarvis begins round two how he started round one and does a better job of maintaining his flow.
      A much better showing from him and a close round. Very tough to score.
      Cagey so far. Not many big shots thrown or landed.
      Round 1
      Gib finishes the round very strong. He probably does enough to steal it.
      Jarvis started very well but seemed to lose his way and his timing deserved him as the round went on.
      Gib grew into it and was boxing very well towards the end of it.
      Seconds out
      Gib vs Jarvis is underway in Dublin. The co-main event and first men’s semifinal.
      A lot of this crowd are awaiting their Brazilian hero in the main event – Whindersson Nunes.
      Here we go then…
      Jarvis is on his way to the ring with Living on a Prayer playing at the 3 Arena.
      The first semifinal just moments away.
      Fury time?
      Crosbie has called out Tommy Fury after that impressive win.
      He said: “Step in here with me you little B*tch and I’ll slap the head off ya!”
      Fury is closing in on a fight against KSI, but this one would certainly be interesting.
      It’s unanimous
      Kiefer Crosbie wins! 50-45 on two cards and 48-45 on the other.
      Not sure what the 48-45 score was about but it’s a unanimous win and deservedly so.
      Round 5
      It’s over. The fighters put the bad blood behind them and hug in the ring.
      We go to the scorecards but this one is surely going to Crosbie, even if he didn’t have a knockdown.
      Disappointing night for Chalmers, especially after getting in the ring with Floyd Mayweather last time out.
      But we wait for the scorecards.

      I’m sorry for sexting other women, says married Amir Khan as he reveals drastic step he’s willing to take to stop

      by

      MARRIED former world champion boxer Amir Khan says he is willing to have therapy to stop him sexting other women.And he has apologised to wife Faryal after she asked him, “If you have a diamond at home, why do you want to mess around with rocks and stones?”

      The boxing world champ’s marriage has dogged by cheating stormsCredit: Reuters
      Faryal tore strips off him after reading The Sun on Sunday’s story two weeks ago of how he begged a model for cheeky pictures and asked her to meet him.
      Now Amir, 36 — whose marriage has been dogged by cheating storms — has revealed he would be willing to see a specialist, admitting he has “made mistakes” and “hurt” his wife.
      Asked if he would attend therapy sessions if Faryal wanted him to, he said: “That question hasn’t been brought up before.
      “But maybe I do need help to stop me from messaging other women.
      READ MORE ON AMIR KHAN
      “I am willing to go to ­therapy to stop me sending texts to women who aren’t my wife.
      “I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about.”
      Faryal confronted him at their home in Dubai earlier this month when she saw our story about Amir begging bridal model Sumaira, 25, for racy pictures and trying to meet up with her.
      He approached her online in May in the run-up to his and Faryal’s 10th wedding anniversary, initially complimenting her on her tattoos.
      Most read in Boxing
      But his messages quickly turned saucy. In one, Amir told Sumaira: “U look good on g string” and suggested she had a boob job.
      Sumaira sent him one snap in clothes showing off her rose-tattooed midriff, to which Amir replied: “Can’t stop looking.”
      In another, he promised to delete any cheeky pictures.
      He asked: “Think I wanna get caught out?”
      Furious Faryal, 31, who shares three children with Amir, hit out at her man over the exchange.
      Amir, who starred in I’m A Celebrity . . .  in 2017 and in the all-star version in South Africa in May, said: “She was disgusted. It’s not a nice thing to do.
      “She was very angry because I shouldn’t be speaking to people like that.
      “She said, ‘If you have a diamond at home, why do you want to mess around with rocks and stones?’
      “It’s not nice what I’ve done. One day my kids will grow up and read this stuff, and it will upset them.
      “I don’t think I was cheating, it was just a few texts. But I regret doing it.
      “I can only apologise to Faryal. People have been messaging her about it, saying, ‘Did you see this article?’ — rubbing it in her face. It’s sad.”
      Amir whisked model Faryal off for a romantic kid-free holiday to Mykonos last week, travelling there by private jet.
      Speaking from the Greek island, he said: “The stupidest thing I did was to comment on this woman’s picture saying ‘nice’.
      “I shouldn’t have done it. I have respect for my wife.
      “I think I do these things out of boredom — I don’t think it’s that I can’t help myself.
      “You get bored and start making mistakes.
      “If I’m not careful, I will get myself into trouble — especially with the wife. She will end up saying, ‘I’ve had enough’.”
      Amir, who won 34 of his 40 career fights, went on: “I’m used to focusing on boxing all the time but now that’s finished, maybe I need to start getting into something again.
      “I want to get back into training and I have been asked to do a few exhibitions. There’s also a few TV shows I want to do.”
      After our story, Amir said Sumaira begged him for £20,000, telling him she was going through a rough patch.

      Amir was exposed after he sent a string of raunchy messages to Sumaira
      Sumaira then accused him of lying in a TikTok video and threatened to reveal more of their messages.
      Faryal lashed out at Sumaira online, saying: “Even when I was single I never gave a guy my number. Let alone a married one. Simple.”
      Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Sumaira claimed Amir told her in a phone call that he and Faryal “were not properly together” and “that it was a bit of a business arrangement”.
      Bolton-born Amir, who now splits his time between the UK and Dubai, hit back, saying: “Women message you because they know they can get something from you.
      “My missus is my queen and I don’t want to hurt her. Our marriage is great at the moment.”
      Amir, who fought in four weight categories during his time as a professional, retired from boxing in May last year — three months after he lost to Sheffield fighter Kell Brook, 37, in a bout at Manchester’s AO Arena.
      In April this year, he was banned from sport for two years, backdated a year, after performance-enhancing drug ostarine was found to have been in his system on the night of the fight.
      A tribunal accepted Amir’s argument that the violation was not intentional.
      Amir and Faryal starred in BBC series Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton, which finished its third season earlier this year.
      The pair were introduced at a New York restaurant by mutual friends in 2011, and wed two years later in a £1million bash at the city’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
      In another ceremony in the UK, ex-Man Utd footballers Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand were among the 4,000 guests.

      In 2014, they welcomed their first child, daughter Lamaisah, now nine.
      They also have daughter Alayna, five, and three-year-old son Muhammad. More

      Oleksandr Usyk’s possible next opponent will be decided the same night as Joshua vs WhyteCredit: PA
      The Ukrainian is in line to fight Daniel Dubios for his mandatory challenge of the WBA on August 26 in Poland.
      Should he come through this he will then be ordered to defend his IBF title, with the current challenger being Filip Hrgovic – who beat Zhilei Zhang to the position last August.
      However, the 31-year-old is not intent to sit idly by, instead returning to action against Australian Demsey McKean on the undercard of Joshua vs Whyte II at the O2 Arena in London on August 12.
      Should McKean, 32, beat the Croatian heavyweight, then he will become Usyk’s next mandatory challenge.

      Promoter Hearn said: “We have a monstrous night of heavyweight boxing in store for fight fans around the world on Saturday August 12 live from the sold-out O2 in London
      “Old foes Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte meet again in a must-win clash at the top of the bill and I’m excited to confirm the first two undercard additions of what will be a stacked card.
      “The IBF’s number one ranked Heavyweight Filip Hrgovic returns a year on from his final eliminator win over Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia.
      “El Animal fights in the UK for the first time as a professional against Australia’s unbeaten Demsey McKean who secures the biggest fight of his career.

      “The Romford Bull Johnny Fisher begins his assault on the domestic heavyweight scene when he takes on Harry Armstrong for the vacant Southern Area title, and there’s much more to be announced soon.”
      Hrgovic added: “The heavyweight champions cannot avoid me any longer and once I have defeated Demsey McKean on August 12, they will have no other option but to face me.
      “I have waited patiently, but the game is up, El Animal is coming for you and is ready to take the belts back to Croatia.
      “McKean will be a tough and strong opponent, but he has never faced anyone as powerful and skilful as me.
      “August 12, at The O2 in London, is the night the heavyweight division starts to change.”
      McKean also declared: “This is what it’s all about, the big fights.
      “I’ve been grinding a big portion of my life for a fight like this.
      “I’m one win away from fighting Usyk for [three] world titles. This is my world title fight.”
      However, there are two ways the winner of the bouts between Usyk vs Dubois and Hrgovic vs McKean may not face each other.

      One would be for the winner of Uysk or Dubois to vacate the IBF belt, while the other would be to secure a unification fight with Tyson Fury.

      Both Fury siblings are preparing for upcoming battles after agreeing money-spinning contracts.
      Tyson is heading to Saudi Arabia in October for an epic showdown against MMA icon Francis Ngannou.
      While Tommy is on the verge of confirming a bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
      Footage has now emerged of Tyson and Tommy going through their paces against each other in the ring.

      Both men land several blows on each other, with Tyson also showing off his incredibly light feet.
      The brothers are no strangers to sparring each other, enjoying a gruelling workout together last month.
      However, a number of fans reckon Tommy did not come out on top in their latest session.
      One said: “Tommy about to get KO’d by KSI.”

      Another declared: “Tommy got tied up like a shoelace Tyson is good at that.”
      One added: “Tommy didn’t know what to do other than clench his older bro.”
      But one fan reckons it’s in the bag for Tommy, noting: “He actually looks very sharp, much better than last time. No way KSI beats him.”
      Tommy is certainly in confident mood ahead of his battle with KSI, having defeated the YouTuber’s fierce rival Jake Paul earlier this year.
      But the American influencer reckons Tommy is getting ripped off by KSI’s financial package.
      And he hopes Fury Jr decides to take him up on a rematch instead.
      Paul said: “KSI is offering you like $1.5m which is way underpaid for Tommy, especially coming off that win. 
      “Tommy should be making $5-6m and it’s crazy and bizarre to me that Tommy is even entertaining that.

      “But whatever he wants to do that’s why I put out the offer like, ‘Yeah let’s run it in October’ which is when that fight’s going to be anyway.

      Jake Paul reveals Francis Ngannou’s ‘real’ earnings for Tyson Fury fight and fumes ‘get it right’ after $8million claims

      by

      JAKE PAUL has revealed that Francis Ngannou will be earning far more for fighting Tyson Fury than the rumoured sum of $8million (£6.1m).It was confirmed this week that the former UFC heavyweight champion would be facing the Gypsy King in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

      The pair will fight for ten rounds under Queensberry rules – with Fury’s heavyweight belts NOT on the line.
      Following the official announcement, it was rumoured that Ngannou would be earning $8m for the bout.
      But Paul has clarified that this figure is way off – and that is merely what he’d been offered by the UFC, before he ditched Dana White’s promotion.
      The Problem Child, like Ngannou, is signed to PFL’s Super Fight Division.

      He has also fought in Saudi Arabia this year, losing to Tommy Fury in February.
      Addressing rumours surrounding Ngannou’s purse, Paul tweeted: “Francis got eight figures. Not $8million. Get it right.”
      The 26-year-old then added: “To all the Twitter geniuses: eight figures = $10,000,000+ and Francis deserves every bit of it.”
      White, 53, has called Ngannou vs Fury a “gimmick fight”.

      After securing the biggest payday of his career, Ngannou cheekily set up his own company, calling it “GIMIK Fight Promotions”.
      Appearing on Sirius XM, the 36-year-old said: “For some reason, I always prove Dana White wrong – even when he’s on my side. I always prove him wrong, every single time. This is just our story.
      “They were ready to do Jon Jones and Tyson Fury in MMA – why couldn’t they do Ngannou and Fury in boxing? I don’t know. I think [he] did that to try to take the fight away from me, and Dana did send out a contract [for the Jones fight].
      “He sent out the contract, which I think was very embarrassing because that contract was rejected, and he signed mine for the GIMIK Fight Promotions.
      “It’s not a secret that so many people wanted me to fail. They don’t want me to succeed, it’s not a secret, it’s quite obvious, and you all know about it.” More
