      TYSON FURY won’t fight Oleksandr Usyk until the Ukranian APOLOGISES for the collapse of their undisputed showdown.The duo were on course to throw down for all the heavyweight marbles in the spring before Team Usyk got sick of Fury’s demands and pulled the plug on the historic bout.

      Saudi boxing chiefs are hoping to stage the fight in December, but Fury’s dad – John – insists his son won’t take part in it unless Usyk issues a grovelling apology.
      He told Seconds Out: “Until he gets on and makes a proper video explaining what he did and tells the truth, he may never get the fight with Tyson.
      “It’s gone past money now with Tyson, it’s gone past everything with us. They are taking the p**s.
      “He’s a nobody, Usyk. Yes, he’s won a few belts off AJ.

      “But you’ve seen how AJ has been performing. AJ has not performed for a while now. And they’re judging what he done to AJ.
      “Tyson will iron him out and everybody in the game knows it.”
      John has accused Usyk of trying to pin the blame for the undisputed bout falling through solely on Tyson, saying: “He’s trying to do is kill two birds with one stone.
      “Turn the public against Tyson, which they’ve done a good job of because the public is daft anyway. Aren’t they?

      “They believe all this rubbish [but] if they knew as much as we do, they’d be a lot better off.
      “The bottom line is they never wanted the fight. Anthony Joshua never wanted the fight, Usyk never wanted the fight.
      “All he wants to, him, is think that Saudi is gonna pay him silly money.
      “Well I got news for you, you’re going to wait a long time.
      “Unless he gets on the video and tells the truth of what he did, there’ll never be a fight for Usyk, never be. We’ll just move on.”
      Usyk, 36, walked away from a 30 per cent split of the pie for Wembley war with Tyson earlier this year – which John claims would’ve earned him a whopping £17million.

      He said: “There’s only one liar and it’s him and his team.
      “Because he didn’t want the fight. He thought he was going to tread where the grass is low.
      “He heard through the grapevine that Tyson was injured from some other bulls***t source. And when Tyson offered him the fight, 30 per cent was too much for him.
      “He still stood to make £17million at Wembley.

      “And it shows how much of a liar and a coward he is when he’s boxing Daniel Dubois for peanuts compared to it. Does that make sense?
      “Tyson will fight anybody anywhere in the world if the business sense is right. They’re the ones, my friend, [that are scared].” More

      Stars compete in qualifying and knockout stages culminating in a series of finale fights where $1million is up for grabs.
      As Biaggio is yet to turn professional he is not eligible for the winner-take-all league – but he knows how he would spent the cash prize.
      He said: “I fight so that I can help people. That’s kind of ironic too, because I’m beating people up.
      “But I fight to help people, I fight so that I can one day become a champion in the PFL.

      “To become a champion you win the belt and $1million and I think $1million is enough money to help a lot of people.
      “I just want to be able to give back and inspire people the way that my grandfather inspired me.
      “I think that’s what’s most important. I just want to get to heaven when I die, that’s the main goal.”
      Biaggio, 24, has already got a head start by providing care packages for the homeless.

      He said: “I actually called one of my team-mates, Nikolas Motta, he’s fighting this weekend in the UFC, he’s an up-and-coming lightweight.
      “And we went to the Dollar Tree and got like 20 bags with some snacks, some water, some soup, toothpaste, toothbrush and we just put together 20 bags and just drove around downtown and gave it to people that were on the street homeless.”
      Biaggio is 3-1 and returns this Friday in Atlanta against Travell Miller in another bout where he carries his iconic surname into the cage.
      He said: “I think the pros is you have such an inspirational figure, almost like a superhero and you’re related to that person.
      “His blood runs through my blood and I think that is a huge pro. Another big pro is getting the opportunities that I’ve been given.
      “Getting the exposure, that’s a huge pro. But there’s cons as well, there’s pressure, there’s a huge target on my back just because of my name.
      “Just because of my existence, when I fight people are going to try their best to hurt Muhammad Ali’s grandson.
      “So with that comes pressure as well I think that’s one of the cons but what is more important is how you deal with the cons.”

      But the American has continued to box in exhibition bouts since, most recently against the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.
      Although it ended in chaos after Gotti was disqualified and then tried to attack Mayweather in the ring, resulting in a mass brawl.
      McGregor – who has not boxed since the loss six years ago – was left more entertained by the post-fight scrap.
      He told TMZ Sports: “I wasn’t that impressed to be honest with you. I wasn’t impressed. Would have a go off him, if he wants.

      “I dunno what he’s at. There’s no meaning behind it, he’s just here and there, there’s no meaning behind the bouts.
      “There was nothing to it. I enjoyed the brawl afterwards more than the actual bout.”
      Mayweather, 46, was largely dominating before the fight was abandoned in round six by referee Kenny Bayless.
      But Gotti, 30, was having none of it and went after the boxing legend, causing mayhem in the ring.

      Evander Holyfield still open to exhibition with Mike Tyson at combined age of 116 but makes strict rules for trilogy

      by

      EVANDER HOLYFIELD is still open to an exhibition against Mike Tyson – so long as there is no real fight involved. The heavyweight legends shared one of boxing’s most iconic rivalries in the 1990s, with Holyfield twice winning.

      He stopped Tyson in an upset in 1996 before having his ear bitten into a year later with the rematch ending in a disgraceful disqualification.
      But the pair have patched things up and even talked about fighting once more in a trilogy.
      And Holyfield has not totally ruled out the cash grab idea – but does not want to fight his old rival for real.
      He told SunSport in Florida: “Well, if we do fine. My whole thing is it’s not all about me, it’s about both of us. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “We do it, make some money that we probably wouldn’t be able to make, so the big thing is finding something that we both can do that we understand that it’s not a fight. 
      “It’s showing some kind skills, showing skills but it’s not a real fight. We’re not trying to kill each other.” 
      Tyson, 56, made a shock return in 2020 for an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr, 54, which went eight rounds and ended a draw with both unscathed.
      A year later Holyfield, 60, made a comeback of his own but he was shamelessly beaten up by ex-UFC star Vitor Belfort, 46.

      Although the former two-weight world champion still supports exhibition bouts, where the likes of Floyd Mayweather continue to make millions.
      Holyfield said: “Well, exhibitions are showing that you took care of your body and you’re still entertaining. 
      “But it’s not supposed to be real, it’s supposed to be a point of just having fun.”
