      What’s been said?
      Josh Taylor told Sky Sports: “[Lopez] was a unified world champion at lightweight.
      “He will say he was undisputed champion but unfortunately he wasn’t.
      “He should have been technically but he wasn’t. So I’ll wind him up about that.
      “He’s got a great style. You’ve got to give credit where credit’s due.
      “He went out and beat Lomachenko who at the time was one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet and he went out and won.
      “He’s a very good fighter. Stylistically I think it’s a very good fight for myself as well with the way he comes to fight.
      “He comes looking for you and doesn’t take a backwards step. He’s a very aggressive, front-foot pressure fighter.”
      Lopez told Sky Sports in December: “A lot of people would like to see me take on Josh Taylor, and I’ve been calling him out.
      “I actually will put him down better than what Catterall did. He won’t come back up, that’s all I can tell you.” More

      Flynn’s fight against Baker was one of the best of the night, and he was praised by almost all in the boxing world, including Joshua himself and promoter Eddie Hearn.
      Following his statement victory, he has revealed to SunSport what his next plans are, and what life has been like after announcing himself to the world on the big stage.
      He said: “It’s time for a weeks rest.
      “I’m going to Tenerife for a week of sun and recovery and then it will be back to Sheffield for training before I hopefully fight again in June.

      “There is no opponent yet, but I want to get myself a rival, I need a rivalry in the sport.”
      Flynn is signed to Anthony Joshua’s 258 Management, who are expertly handling the careers of Brit prospects Ben Whittaker and Campbell Hatton.
      And despite his now 9-0 record, this was the first time he really had the opportunity to announce himself as one of the best up and comers in the sport.
      He added: “It felt good to be on the big stage, I felt like I was meant to be there even though it was such a big event.

      What a fight! We go to the scorecards..77-75 Flynn for me..— Eddie Hearn (@EddieHearn) April 1, 2023

      “I spoke to AJ just before his fight, he was congratulating me but also in the zone and ready for his battle with Franklin, no doubt I’ll be speaking to him properly this week.
      “It is great to have such a good team, Freddie Cunningham and the guys were saying what a good fight it was.
      “Eddie Hearn was retweeting loads of stuff about it – he came up to me and said he was proud of me and how entertaining I am to watch, a lot of people were saying it was worthy of being a co-main event!”
      And one money-spinning fight Flynn would be up for is a dust-up with YouTuber KSI.
      Asked about the rise of influencer boxing, he said: “I think it is good because it brings different eyes to the sport. But it should be separate to professional boxing.
      “Still I would happily beat one of these guys up for good money, it would be an easy fight.
      “If any of them want it, they can get it, let them know. If KSI wanted it I would smash him up.” More

      by

      TOMMY FURY revealed he has put on THREE STONE in weight since beating Jake Paul – aided by swapping diets with Eddie Hall. The boxing and Love Island star linked up with former world’s strongest man Hall for a YouTube video.

      Throughout the day, the pair swapped diets starting with a cooked breakfast consisting of over 2,000 calories each.
      Hall ordered Fury a fry up, with an additional sausage, hash brown, mushrooms, fried bread and coffee.
      Impressively, the 9-0 boxer cleaned his plate and joked about reaping the rewards since beating rival Paul in February.
      He said: “I have put on three stone in four weeks.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Fury, 23, weighed in at 13st 1lb before beating Paul, 26, by split-decision, meaning he is now over 16 STONE having not trained since the win.
      But after his hearty breakfast, he picked up the gloves again for a boxing session with Hall before working up an appetite for lunch.
      Hall – who lost his boxing debut to strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson – served Fury a 400g steak, with 400g of rice and 200g worth of veg.
      For dessert, the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson enjoyed half a family cheesecake, taking his calorie intake to 5,700.

      Hall, 35, then gave Fury a ride in his TANK stopping off for a Fredo chocolate bar and McDonald’s milkshake.
      It fuelled the two up for a gym session, working on their chest and triceps, with Fury made to drink a protein shake.
      To recover from their double training session, Hall welcomed Fury to his home spa, including a sauna and ice bath.
      Their day ended with a sit-down dinner, where the calories continued to rise.
      Hall ordered Fury a ginger beer with TWO starters, calamari and beef meatballs.
      And his main consisted of two steaks with peppercorn sauce, a side of fries and seasonal veg.

      Again Fury finished his plate and had a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream – meaning he ended the day having consumed over 9,000 calories.
      The average male is advised to have 2,500 calories a day – meaning Fury had almost FOUR TIMES that amount.
      His next fight is not yet been determined amid rumours of a rematch with Paul but fans loved his collab with Hall.
      One said: What a fantastic watch. Brilliant chemistry, great lads, more to come.”

      Another added: “We need more of these, that was epic.”
      One agreed: “Tommy you and Eddie need to do more together brilliant video this loved it.”

      Anthony Joshua’s promoter reveals frontrunner for next fight but Tyson Fury’s ex-rival named as backup alternative

      by

      A FAMILIAR foe is at the front of the queue to face Anthony Joshua next after his return win against Jermaine Franklin. AJ bounced back from consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk with an uninspiring points victory over the American at the O2 Arena.

      Franklin had lost in November to Dillian Whyte, who was in attendance to watch AJ’s victory.
      And promoter Eddie Hearn revealed Whyte, 34, is the leading name to fight Joshua, 33, next.
      He told Chris Mannix: “I think that’s the frontrunner. I quite like the Otto Wallin fight, really, but he’s a southpaw.
      “So if a deal can be reached with Dillian Whyte, then I think that would be a smart fight for both.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Joshua’s history with Whyte dates back to the amateurs, losing their thriller but avenging the loss by stoppage in the pros six years later.
      And Hearn believes a series decider could bring the best out of AJ, who failed to blow away Franklin, 29, in his comeback bout.
      Wallin – who gave Tyson Fury 47 stitches during his 2019 loss – is an alternative option for Joshua despite being a southpaw.
      But with huge fights against Fury or Deontay Wilder on the horizon for AJ, an orthodox opponent for his return is more likely.

      Hearn said: “I like the [Otto Wallin] fight in that respect and because he had a good fight with Fury, but the problem is, he’s a southpaw.
      “But when you’re progressing with a trainer, the last thing Derrick James wants is a southpaw, especially when you’re not going to go and fight another southpaw in Fury and Wilder.
      “So why would you go and fight another southpaw?”

      But the boxing icon has continued to fight in exhibitions, against stars of the MMA and social media world.
      Now UFC legend St-Pierre, 41, is the latest to be linked with a bout against Mayweather, 45.
      But the Canadian refuses to be restricted to using just his hands as he demanded a hybrid fight with kicks or takedowns included.
      St-Pierre told TSN: “The biggest name in boxing came up to me, to fight me in boxing.

      “I told him, ‘For me it’s a question of honour, it’s not of money. You cannot buy me.’
      “They asked me to box the biggest boxer of our time. I said to them, ‘It’s either you let me use my legs or the takedown!’
      “I’m like well it’s one or the other, I’m not going to fight the best boxer for money.
      “For me, if they want to fight me, they have to accept my terms. There needs to be a fair compromise, 50-50 compromise.”

      St-Pierre has not fought since 2017 when he beat Michael Bisping and retired two years later when talks to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov collapsed.
      He was in line to face boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya in 2021 but was prohibited due to his UFC contract still being active.
      GSP’s deal is now up, meaning he is free to fight in either boxing or MMA again and has refused to rule out a return.
      Meanwhile, Mayweather made his UK boxing debut in February dominating reality TV star-turned boxer Aaron Chalmers, 35, over eight rounds.

      But terms for the undisputed decider on April 29 at Wembley collapsed amid a row over the finances for a potential rematch.
      It has left Fury, 34, and his promoters looking for an alternative fight and Mexican-American Ruiz, 33, is among the options.
      Bob Arum told Cornerman Boxing: “He’s been in Italy on vacation with his family.
      “He’s back in England, and we’re talking to him, and we’re looking for the best available guy for him to fight this summer in the UK.

      “Maybe it’ll be Andy Ruiz or somebody like that.”
      Ruiz was last in action in September, beating Luis Ortiz over 12 rounds which put him in line to face Deontay Wilder.
      But the title eliminator failed to materialise, with Wilder instead linked with a crossover bout against ex-UFC champ Francis Ngannou, 36.
      Meanwhile Usyk, 36, has now been ordered into a WBA mandatory title defence against Daniel Dubois with talks currently ongoing.

      Fury has teased fighting unbeaten Joe Joyce while Anthony Joshua has not been ruled out either.
      But Hall of Famer Arum hopes Usyk can come through Dubois to set up the unification blockbuster in the Middle East before the year’s end.

      He said: “Hopefully, if he’s (Fury) successful and Usyk is fighting Dubois over in the UK, and then in November or December, the two guys can meet in Saudi Arabia so that we can have one heavyweight champion.”

      Anthony Joshua is ripe for the picking, he hasn’t progressed and I’ve overtaken him as a boxer, says Joe Joyce

      JOE JOYCE claimed Anthony Joshua is “ripe for the picking” after regressing as a boxer. Joyce was left unimpressed by AJ’s return win over 12 rounds against Jermaine Franklin – believing he would knock out the pair.

      He told Sky Sports: “I’d knock both of them out with their performance the other night.
      “I’d definitely force a stoppage on Franklin and Joshua’s ripe for the picking.
      “Not great but [Joshua] got the job done. He went 12 rounds, I thought he would come with some more firepower and aim to push a stoppage but he wasn’t really putting shots together.
      “He was [using] single shots and boxed kind of like he did in the [Andy] Ruiz second fight. So it was a little bit disappointing.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “He seems to have gone, in my opinion, a bit backwards. Hasn’t progressed. I think he lacked the combinations but I think Franklin was a tough guy.”
      Joyce, 37, is currently the WBO mandatory challenger and interim title holder for the belt held by Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
      It leaves him in a better position than Joshua, 33, in the title picture.
      Joyce said: “That would be his route back in.
