    Floyd speaks on Deji’s shot
    Deji landed a peach of a shot on Floyd Mayweather in the fifth round.

    The Money man said: “I’m glad that Deji landed a good shot. This is part of fighting, this is part of entertaining.”

    Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul AGREED – latest
    Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have an agreement in place to reschedule their grudge fight once again.
    Paul was a ringside guest for Fury’s boxing return on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard in Dubai.
    Fury’s dad John ripped off his shirt and called out the YouTuber-turned boxer, before security intervened.
    John later told press after the fight that he shook hands with Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian over a rescheduled date for February.
    Here we go February!
    Mayweather vs Deji result
    Mayweather is FULL of praise for Deji and his brother KSI at the end.
    Deji did land a belter of a punch there in the fifth!

    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 6)
    Mayweather starts to spray Deji with punches.
    Catching him with an uppercut, then jab, then headshot.
    The referee steps in after seeing how the uppercut rocked him and stops the fight.
    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 5)
    Mayweather teases his opponent dancing around his jabs.
    Catching him off guard with jabs.
    Then once caught himself he gives him a hardish bodyshot.
    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 4)
    If this happened in your school, you would tell a teacher that Floyd is bullying people again.
    Mayweather looks like he’s let himself go after hitting hard times.
    Shadow boxing drunks in liquor store car parks with his top off.
    Mumbling as he dances around ‘I’m Floyd Mayweather!’
    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 3)
    Why do these commentators all keep talking over each other at once like it is interference.
    This is bizarre.
    It is like Mayweather is play fighting with his kids at home.
    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 2)
    If anyone has ever seen a boxer by the name of Prince Naseem that is pretty much what we are watching here with Floyd.
    Showboating to the extreme.
    Toying with Deji, like a cat that lets a mouse loose to just trap its tail with its paw again.
    Complete mismatch.
    Mayweather vs Deji (Round 1)
    Nothing of much note apart from lots of showboating by Mayweather.
    It does look crazy to see him now with what looks like a dad-bod.
    This is all one-way traffic, Deji has not laid a glove on him yet.
    King of the hype
    Mayweather dances around the ring as music plays.
    People can feel themselves aging in the crowd as they wait for this exhibition match to start.
    Children who came here today for this bout are now adults.
    Mayweather heads towards the ring
    The audio is well out of sync as Floyd walks in led by a rapper whose lips are not moving at the same speed as the audio being played.
    Classy start for Mayweather.
    Deji is already in the ring, let battle commence.
    Apparently we are minutes away from some boxing
    TMT: The Milking-it Team
    This production really do drag these events out.
    It’s about 2am in Dubai and if this exhibition match is anything like the Tommy Fury fight we may have a riot on our hands.
    You can still hear a pin drop apart from the pundits ringside with their mics, everyone else may be asleep.
    Delay to the ring-walk
    Rumours circulate that a dispute over the gloves they wear has slowed things down backstage.
    Mayweather wants 10oz gloves worn for the exhibition bout.
    As a result the ring-walk has been delayed.
    It’s all about the money
    Floyd Mayweather had a professional career which saw him fight 50 times and claim 50 wins.
    He fought 397 rounds of boxing in this time.
    Mayweather also had a 54% KO record.
    Feeling the full Fury
    Jake Paul has spoken about the incident with John Fury tonight:
    He had the high ground. Anyone that knows about war knows the high ground. That was madness. Honestly, I thought damn…he should start an OnlyFans.Jake PaulInfluencer/Boxer
    Party atmosphere continues in Dubai
    The noise within the venue is deafening, you can hardly hear the commentators.
    It is all the tension building from that boxing showpiece from Tommy Fury in that exhibition bout.
    We are still waiting for Mayweather to come out
    My dad’s bigger than yours
    John Fury summoned his inner Hulkamania as he tore of his t-shirt and called out Jake Paul.
    Demanding the YouTuber turned boxer fight him there and then.
    Paul backed away seemed interested more in a war of words than firsts.
    True WWE vibes here.

    Double Fury at Jake Paul
    Tommy Fury called out Jake Paul, demanding he get into the ring there and then.
    After his dad tore his t-shirt off and declared himself the bareknuckle king, his son them starts trying to get him, held back by his minders.
    Welcome to……Made in Dubai.

    Building to the main event
    We wait for the big fight with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and Deji.
    The one we have all been waiting for.
    Hopefully more punches thrown than the last fight.
    The entertainment ramps up
    John Fury tears his t-shirt off like something from WrestleMania and demands Jake Paul jump in the ring now and fight him.
    Declaring himself the bare-knuckle champion and to fight him now.
    Both Tommy and John shout down from the ring to Jake Paul.
    This has now gone full ‘Snatch’.
    Now for something completely different
    Rolly Lambert vs Tommy Fury (Round 6)
    It is questionable as to whether bouncers would break this up in a nightclub or not.
    You most definitely wouldn’t be getting thrown out.
    The boxers dance and hug and jab.
    Six rounds of exhibition boxing ends, that was not a ‘must see’.
    Rolly Lambert vs Tommy Fury (Round 5)
    There is no danger of this breaking out into a fight anytime soon.
    A series of jabs with no weight behind the punches at all.
    The boxers hug it out for most of that round and tap gloves as they walk to their corners.
    Rolly Lambert vs Tommy Fury (Round 4)
    The crowd to continue to boo which Lambert takes offence to.
    He holds both of his arms in the air in gesture to the crowd.
    I think both boxers may have agreed ‘not the face’ before the contracts were signed for this one.

    Jake Paul responding to John Fury
    He was due to face Paul Bamba, 33, but a weight disagreement saw the American withdrawn.

    The bout went the distance and Paul made his feelings known from ringside, telling Fury he “sucked at boxing.”
    Words were then exchanged from ringside, prompting Fury’s dad and coach John to rip his top off and challenge the American.

    Anthony Joshua could fight for world title against Filip Hrgovic next with Oleksandr Usyk set to vacate IBF belt

    ANTHONY JOSHUA could fight for a world title against Filip Hrgovic.That’s if Oleksandr Usyk vacates his IBF belt to chase a fight with Tyson Fury.

    Joshua held the IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO titles twice before losing them to Usyk last year.
    AJ then failed to reclaim the belts in his August rematch against the Ukrainian.
    And he is now on the hunt for a new opponent after failing to secure a money-spinning showdown against fellow Brit Fury.
    But there could be some good news for AJ’s title ambitions.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    That’s because Usyk is now hoping to land a mega-fight against Fury for the WBA, WBC and WBO belts, according to TalkSport.
    And in order to do so, Usyk would have to give up his IBF crown.
    If that happens, IBF chiefs would then order Hrgovic to fight Andy Ruiz for the vacant title.
    However, there’s another twist in the tale, as Ruiz is seeking to fight WBC hopeful Wilder instead.

    And if that fight is made, then Joshua would finally get the call-up to take on Hrgovic for the IBF crown.
    Meanwhile, Ruiz claims AJ wants a THIRD fight against the Mexican.
    Ruiz said: “I’m trying to get those titles back.
    “I just spoke to Anthony Joshua, he told me he wants to make something happen, he wants to make the trilogy – that’d be pretty cool!
    “I just brought it up, but that’s how things happen and fights get made, so we’ll see.” More

    Harley Benn’s fight with Faizan Anwar on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard has been axed
    But just a matter of hours beforehand, the fight was scrapped live on air.
    Global Titans revealed an altercation at the fighter hotel forced the bout to be canceled.
    A statement read: “Faizan Anwar pulled out just hours before his scheduled fight with Harley Benn, without notice or prior warning.
    “Despite multiple attempts to find a suitable replacement at short notice for Harley, Global Titans were sadly unable to do so due to those available being too heavy in weight.

    “Harley has been paid his full purse and will be fighting on a future Global Titans card early next year.”
    It is the latest blow in the show, after Tommy Fury’s fight with Paul Bamba, 33, was also cancelled.
    Bamba was left fuming after he scaled within the 175lb light-heavyweight limit, while Fury came in at 181.4lb.
    The American, 33, who conceded half a STONE, wanted to be paid compensation.

    But despite two days of negotiations, no settlement was reached despite the best efforts of Fury’s dad John.
    Fury has also confirmed he WILL still fight – facing Rolly Lambert in an exhibition – and denied failing to make weight.
    He said online: “I just want to come on here and clear a few things up.
    “One contract was given to Paul Bamba, and one contract was given to myself.
    “The weight in my contract, I made yesterday so as far as I’m concerned, I’ve done my job. I made weight.
    “Paul Bamba does not want to fight, he never did. I’m here in Dubai, I’ve got a new opponent and I’m ready to go.”
