      Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel and undercard for world title clash

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ is back in light-heavyweight action as he challenges WBA world titleholder Dmitry Bivol in Las Vegas. The Mexican was last in the ring in November, when he knocked out Caleb Plant in the 11th round to win the undisputed super-middleweight titles.

      But now Alvarez is challenging at 175lbs again, where he last campaigned at in November 2019 against Sergey Kovalev, winning the WBO strap in the process.
      Bivol represents a tougher task than Kovalev, however, as he’s a much fresher fighter with some solid wins, including Joe Smith Jr and Jean Pascal, on his record.
      The Russian beat Umar Salamov on points in his last outing over four months ago.
      Against Alvarez, Bivol will need to be on his A-game, especially with the huge fanbase Canelo will bring to the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas.

      What has been said?
      Canelo said: “[Dmitry’s] a really good boxer. He’s a solid champion at 175. It’s a dangerous fight. I like it, I love that kind of challenge.
      “I really like it. But, I believe in my abilities, and I’m strong too. So, I’m confident in that, but it’s gonna be a really good fight.
      “I like the idea to be undisputed at 175. That’s what I like, but you never know.”
      Bivol has said: “Canelo can spar against aliens and that doesn’t change anything.
      “I’ve also done it with cruiserweights or heavyweights as well. The truth is, it doesn’t matter in the least, because in the end it’s just sparring.
      “I will try my best to make a good fight.
      “I will try to win and I trust all my skills to make it a great fight for everyone out there.” More

      Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: New date, UK start time, TV channel, live stream for massive heavyweight rematch

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Oleksandar Usyk’s on-off re-match has been put back again – but promoters are honing in on a confirmed date.Usyk has been given the green light from Ukraine’s sports minister to have his second fight against AJ, following Russia’s disgraceful invasion of his home country.

      The fight had been plunged into doubt with Usyk joining the military in the defence of his home country.
      All parties understood the situation – there are, after all, bigger things in the world than boxing.

      Just like the Olympic gold medallist did after his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua wants to right his wrong by facing the Ukrainian in a rematch.
      Usyk outpointed and largely outclassed a game Joshua in front of 70,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year to win the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO world titles.
      Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn admitted after that his client boxed nowhere near to the ability he would do in a potential rematch.
      AJ, meanwhile, said the fight was a learning experience in the post-fight news conference, vowing to gain his vengeance on Usyk.
      Since then, the two sides have been negotiating toward a huge money-spinning sequel, but offers for Joshua to step aside to allow an undisputed clash with Tyson Fury has delayed the process.
      Fury, however, will fight mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte next, leaving Usyk and Joshua to fight once again.
      Joshua is also on the search for a new trainer, having trialled American coaches Robert Garcia, Virgil Hunter, Ronnie Shields and Canelo Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso.
      When is Joshua vs Usyk 2?

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 has yet to be confirmed with a concrete date – although it is understood to be in July.
      According to reports, the new date is set to be July 23 – but this is unconfirmed.
      But Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine had thrown the entire bout into doubt with Usyk involved in the war effort, but he has told ministers he wants to get into a training camp for the bout.
      That would also open up the opportunity for Joshua vs Usyk 2 to take place in an outdoor stadium in the UK.

      Eddie Hearn confirmed there will be a rematch between Joshua and Usyk
      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Joshua’s last fight with Usyk with shown live on Sky Sports Box Office for a price of £24.95.
      It’s unclear which channel the rematch will take place on, but expect Matchroom’s broadcast partners DAZN to bid aggressively for the rights to the fight in the UK.
      DAZN costs £7.99 to subscribe to in the UK, but the streaming service are likely to add a pay-per-view arm to their model this year.

      Where will Joshua vs Usyk 2 take place?
      Hearn has previously claimed the fight will be held in another open-air UK stadium.
      He said after the fight: “It’s very likely to happen in the UK, but we’ll sit down and look at the options.
      “There will be approaches to do it elsewhere. (But) after Saturday, the pluses and minuses of Saturday, I mean, have you ever seen anything like that? How good was it? Have you ever seen anything like that?
      “So I’d like to do it in England again. Maybe at Spurs, maybe at Wembley, maybe at the Emirates. They’ll be approaches to do it elsewhere but I don’t see any reason to take it outside of England.”
      There are also likely to be approached from the Middle East for the fight, with Saudi Arabia having held Joshua’s clash against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
      Usyk said in the post-fight news conference he was eager for the second fight to be held in the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine.
      Usyk said: “I would love to have the rematch at Olympiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.” More

      It got tasty in the second however, as Benn backed his man up against the ropes and landed some punishing shots, including one to the temple which sent Van Heerden tumbling into the ropes.

      Amir Khan gets in the ring
      But he doesn’t seem like he wants a fight with Conor Benn.
      Khan: I just came here to enjoy the champ, I’m here to enjoy the boxing. He’s got a brilliant career. At the moment I’m spending time with the family.
      Benn: Money always talks
      Khan: I’ve made a lot of money in the game.
      Benn: No disrespect on my part, if I achieve half of what he has, I’d be very happy.
      And the two embrace, and Khan leaves the ring.
      Benn KNOCKS OUT Van Heerden
      Benn backed Van Heerden up against the ropes and really, it was all done from there.
      A few thunderous shots, finished off with one big right hand to the temple, and down goes Van Heerden, face first into the ropes.
      A step-up now, please?
      Benn KNOCKS OUT Van Heerden!
      Absolutely brutal.

      Conor Benn vs Chris van Heerden NEXT
      The South African is making his ring-walk…
      BIG win
      Look at that from CBS..

      The Gentleman on 15-1
      CBS goes over to McCarthy and checks that his two-fight rival is safe.
      It was a sensational way to settle their grudge.
      McCarthy had moments but he could not escape CBS’ power and took one too many shots.
      Right hands rained down on the Belfast man until he could take no more. CBS retains his Commonwealth and European titles and moves to 15-1.
      CBS WINS R8
      Sensational KO from Chris Billam-Smith.
      McCarthy gets pinned on the ropes and utterly pasted.
      Somehow the brave Irishman stood up and absorbed about six heavy flush head shots.
      But eventually he was felled and counted out on the deck.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R7
      McCarthy lands a check left hook that puts him in the driving seat of the round.
      But then CBS lands three right hands that shatter his opponent’s momentum.
      Both men land as the round comes to a close, McCarthy looks the most damaged.
      But CBS is not as dominant as he started off.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R6
      Brave McCarthy lands a couple to claw his way back into the bout.
      But CBS is starting to look too big and strong and fit.
      Even when McCarthy’s best shots land they don’t see him to hurt the Englishman.
      And when CBS closes the distance he can manhandle and bully McCarthy on the ropes. Still all to fight for.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R5
      McCarthy’s corner begs him to jab and move but he is still hurting from the fourth.
      Two CBS left hooks look skull-shattering but McCarthy stays up and keeps slashing back.
      McCarthy goes to the body with two digs but CBS’ ribs are solid.
      McCarthy survives another stanza but the damage must be wearing him down.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R4
      Big round for CBS as McCarthy is almost knocked out. Two minutes into the session a left hook shook McCarthy’s senses and he never fully recovered them.
      A chopping right hand from CBS had the Irishman shaken and and a straighter dig laster crashed into his temple.
      CBS smothers his work and gets too close to McCarthy when he could be finishing him from range.
      McCarthy somehow survives.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R3
      Trainer Shan McGuigan has woke CBS us as he lands a left hook.
      It’s scrappy again until McCarthy cracks a rasping right hand into the Hampshire man’s skull
      McCarthy’s trainer Peter Taylor ends the session looking pleased with his lad.
      It’s close and tight but McCarthy has made the brighter start with cleaner landed shots.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R2
      McCarthy lands a one-two when CBS lowers his guard for the first time.
      And the Irishman connects with the same textbook combination moments later that gets his green crowd cheering.
      Right on the bell McCarthy lands a booming right hand that stiffens CBS’ legs and he falls foward onto his foe but the bell goes to save him.
      McCarthy round.
      CBS vs McCarthy – R1
      First round is scrappy and rough with both men warned over rabbit punches and head butts.
      CBC does land a left hook that seems flush but McCarthy doesn’t wobble.
      McCarthy is happy on the backfoot as the Bournemouth man walks him down and tries to overpower him.
      Repeat or revenge?
      Last July Cris Billam-Smith and Tommy McCarthy slugged it out in Eddie Hearn’s Essex garden.
      Bournemouth’s CBS nicked it on a split decision and they rerun the cruiserweight clash tight now.
      McCarthy arrives to James Brown classic, The Big Payback.
      Hatton vs Gregores – R6
      Hatton begins the round with some nice, patient work, landing a few jabs before pinging in the right hand.
      He then goes for a left uppercut off the back of a right hand but Gregores covers up.
      Much has been made of how hard it’s been for Campbell to follow in the footsteps of his dad Ricky, but tonight’s been another improvement for the 21-year-old.
      Gregores tries to land something meaningful in the final 10 seconds but to no avail.
      Shutout for Hatton.
      Hatton vs Gregores – R5
      Campbell’s trainer Matthew Hatton asks his nephew to get the snap back into his punches.
      “Let’s not get ragged,” he adds.
      And Campbell responds in kind, landing a beautiful left to the body.
      “Good shot!” Matthew shouts from the corner.
      Gregores looks like he’s feeling the pace of the fight so far, he’s not throwing as much as he was before.
      Hatton vs Gregores – R4
      More of the same from Hatton, who keeps coming forward and looking for big shots.
      Gregores looks like he’s becoming used to Hatton’s power, however, and is probably going to get through these next few rounds.
      Hatton lands a nice left to the body, but Gregores comes back with a counter of his own.
      Every round to Campbell so far.
      Hatton vs Gregores – R3
      Gregores has another fight in two weeks, so he won’t want to get stopped here.
      But Hatton is landing some big shots. Young Campbell looks hell-bent on getting that stoppage.
      And it would increase his streak to three. Some signs also that Hatton is slightly weary of what’s coming back from the Argentine.
      Regardless, another round banked for Hatton, who finishes the round landing some big right hands.
      Credit: PA
      Hatton vs Gregores – R2
      A little careless from Hatton to start the round, he likes to come forward but gets caught on the way out.
      Carl Froch notes on commentary that Hatton can’t take those shots once he steps up his level of competition.
      But some good body shots follows in the middle minute of the round.
      Gregores can land a nice counter if he gets there quick enough, however.
      Hatton vs Gregores – R1
      Hatton starts things on the front foot and lands a nice right hand but smothers his work a little quickly.
      Gregores lands a solid jab but Hatton comes back with a body shot.
      Big right hand from Hatton now as he continues to look for hooks to the body. Some great variation from the youngster.
      Good start from legend Ricky’s son.

      But the Matchroom prospect wants to fight for a world title within the next year, so is continuing to be active in the meantime.
      In steps Van Heerden, who is most known for fights with Errol Spence Jr and Jaron Ennis.

      Ryan Garcia wins comeback fight on points against Emmanuel Tagoe after 15 months out of the ring

      by

      RYAN GARCIA marked his return to the boxing ring with a near-shutout on the cards against Emmanuel Tagoe. The American lightweight sensation last fought in January 2021, knocking out Britain’s Luke Campbell in seven rounds.

      But a battle with his mental health and injuries saw him sidelined for 15 months until he finally marked his comeback.
      And he did so against stubborn Ghanian Tagoe, who looked to survive the fight over the 12 round distance.
      But it saw Garcia, who scored a knockdown in round two, emerge victorious unanimously on the cards.
      He said: “I got nothing but respect for Tagoe, he fought a hard fight.
      “I think if I would have started pressing him harder in the beginning of the fight, I would’ve got him out of there.
      “But what can I say? I had to track him down, it was a new experience cutting the ring off with a guy who was in a fight to survive.”
      Garcia, 23, made a sharp start to the fight after a right hand bundled Tagoe, 33, to the floor.
      But he failed to follow it up and force a stoppage in a sign of things to come later on.

      Garcia would go on to control the fight throughout the rest of the rounds, throwing heavy left hooks and right hands.
      But Tagoe was keen to grab, hold and move as he evaded engaging in a firefight.
      It saw Garcia repeatedly back up Tagoe but fail to land a decisive blow despite threatening a few times.
      As the fight went to the cards, it saw the lightweight contender win wide on and secure his first win with new trainer Joe Goosen.
      Veteran Goosen was brought in to replace Canelo Alvarez’s esteemed coach Eddy Reynoso.

      Ryan Garcia refuses to challenge long-time rival Gervonta Davis in the ring.
      “In the past, I’m always with the callouts but I’ve grown, I’ve matured Im going to let my team handle it.
      “I’m going to let all my coaches – and when it’s on, it’s on. As of right now, I’m going to trust my team going forward.”

      Garcia vs Tagoe
      This was Garcia’s first fight with his new coach Joe Goosen, who replaced Eddy Reynoso, Canelo Alvarez’s trainer.

      “He’s just the best guy.”

      TOTT
      Here is how the two headliners compare ahead of the main event.
      Ring walks coming up NEXT.

      No average Joe
      Ryan Garcia confirmed he is out of his fog by enjoying a joke about trainer Joe Goosen’s favourite fashion faux pas
      Garcia laughed: “Yeah it was definitely his Canadian tuxedo which really sealed the job for me!
      “No, really I have a connection with Joe from the amateurs when I was 17 and he was training me a little bit.
      “Joe is an old school guy and I feel like I am an old school soul when it comes to the game. We just have a good chemistry and I think that was why I picked him.
      “Joe and AJ probably would have been a great fit. Joe can bring a lot out of you, a lot of grit. He is one of those old school trainers, like Cus D’Amato, just that rough type of person and for me I love that.”

      Belting idea
      Ryan Garcia’s hopes of a lightweight world title shot are on the backburner after undisputed champ George Kambosos accepted a June 5 clash with his King Ry’s famous 2-2 amateur rival Devin Haney.
      That clash has a rematch clause and former four-belt king Vasiliy Lomachenko is first inline for a crack at his old crowns, once the Ukraine legend finishes bravely fighting Russian invaders in his besieged home.
      But instead of getting down about the likely delay, Garcia is lining up a thriller with fellow KO artist Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
      He said: “I am happy for the likes of Devin Haney and Kambosos, I am happy that they are getting it on, may the best man win.
      “But I am still a major player if they want to make a major fight down the line.
      “I think Tank is the most realistic super-fight out there for me because we both have connections to (US fight maker) Al Haymon and we can make something happen for sure.
      “We are big stars and we are the most exciting fighters on paper.
      “I don’t look too far ahead because every time I do it doesn’t happen. So now I just shut up and just destroy whoever it is in the ring with me.”

      Undercard action
      Shane Mosley Jr BEATS Gabe Rosado in the chief support.
      He earns a majority decision over Rosado over 12 rounds, to push himself onto world title contention.
      Up next, Ryan Garcia makes his anticipated return.

      No Shane in that
      Shane Mosley has had years of challengers queuing up to try and beat the son of a legend – but Gabe Rosado is not one of them.
      Rosado said: “I ain’t fighting his dad, I’m fighting his son.
      “For me, yeah they share the same name, but it’s not the same to me.
      “His father is a Hall of Famer, one of the greats of the game who I respect.
      “And it’s funny as when I was first offered the Mosley Jr fight, there was a part of me which was like, ‘Damn man, I don’t want to fight his son’.
      “But at the end of the day it’s just business, it’s not personal. It is what it is. We’re both grown men and we’re going to get it on, on the night.”

      Creed it & weep
      Creed star Gabriel Rosado has a “real-life Rocky story” fit for Hollywood – and is eyeing a world title to cap off his celebrated career.
      The American in 2015 starred in Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky spin-off movie and featured as one of Michael B Jordan’s on-screen adversaries.
      The blockbuster movie received widespread acclaim but only years after its release does Rosado sit back and reflect on the experience.
      He told SunSport: “It was great, being from Philadelphia, Rocky is a Philadelphia story so to us it’s even more special.
      “I grew up watching the movie so when I got to be a part of it, it was just kind of like surreal.
      “But I think I appreciate it a little more now then I did at the time. At the time it was like, ‘This is cool’.
      “But as time goes by it’s like, ‘Yo, I really was a part of history, this is big’. So I appreciate it.”

      Gift of the Gabe
      Gabriel Rosado made his professional debut in 2006 and has been through it all in the ring.
      From challenging for world titles, sharing the ring with modern-day legends and even being robbed on the cards, he has seen and done it.
      It means if anyones career has been worthy of the big screen, it is probably Rosado’s.
      He said: “For sure, it’s like the real-life Rocky story, but we’re still pushing.
      “I still feel great, going back to 68’ and I really feel like we’re going to make a push in the division.”
      Rosado, who returns to the ring at super-middleweight against Shane Mosley Jr, warned he is not done yet, with a world title still in his sights.
      He added: “That’s the end goal. That’s what keeps me going and like I said, I’ve had a long career, 16-years going on 17.
      “The goal for me is to become a world champion. I was close in the last fight, it was close, competitive, dropped down to 160 which was tough.
      “I did it because in order to do great things you have to sacrifice.”

      Ryan’s reveal
      Before even landing a world title, Garcia had incredible fame – in the shape of almost 8million Instagram followers – that added pressure.
      “I think a lot of things were in play with what was happening to me,” he said. “I was struggling with anxiety and depression.
      “I don’t know if all that stuff plays a part, the pressure of being a boxer/influencer, but all I know is I noticed a problem and I fixed it.
      “It started with counselling. I went to see a therapist, I took the professional approach to it, making sure I got real professional help and then from there I just started understanding what anxiety really is – and depression too.
      “I just started talking to people and talking to people really helped me. It helped me understand what I was going through and understand that there’s a way out.
      “Hope does a lot for you and it helps you see a light at the end of the tunnel. I slowly but surely got myself out of the hole I was in.”

      Ryan Garcia believes his fight against anxiety and depression could have ended in a “trainwreck” if he had not seeked help.
      America’s 21-0 social media sensation will end a 15-month hiatus on Saturday against Emmanuel Tagoe.
      He took the break to save his life when his battle against mental health problems started to look like the first fight he couldn’t win.
      Since he climbed off the canvas to stop Luke Campbell in January 2021, Garcia has had professional help and changed from the Eddy Reynoso gym – which he shared with pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez – and teamed up with respected veteran Joe Goossen.
      And he confirms that unless he had taken drastic measures to break the vicious circle he was facing, the next stop was a terrifying first loss.
      “I couldn’t just keep on forcing myself to just get in the ring, get in the ring if I didn’t feel mentally right outside of the ring,” he said in a brave and emotional interview.
      “I took that time and I feel amazing now, I really feel it helped me stop a trainwreck and that’s what’s important.
      “If you’re not there mentally bad things can happen in that ring.”

      What have both fighters said?
      Ryan Garcia: “I was struggling with anxiety and depression.
      “I don’t know if all that stuff plays a part – the pressure of being a boxer-influencer or whatnot – but all I know is I noticed a problem and I fixed it.
      “I made sure I was ok and I made the right decision for sure.
      “Now I can’t wait to be back in the ring on 9 April.”
      Emmanuel Tagoe: [My fans] know me well. They know what I can do.
      “I might need a translator to talk the talk. But in the ring Ryan, I can beat you.”

      Yes he Can: Golovkin to face Canelo?
      Chinks started to show in Gennady Golovkin’s armour DESPITE securing a ninth-round knockout against Ryota Murata.

      I wouldn’t point out any particular goal that I’m still trying to achieve.
      “I’ve achieved a lot and learned a lot during my career. I feel very comfortable in my current position.
      I’ve been in boxing pretty much throughout my entire life. I feel in top form and if there is demand, if there are interesting offers, you’ll continue to see me in the ring.”
      The main event ring walk is expected to start at 1.10PM, so don’t go anywhere!
