      Boxing fans despair at fight ‘no one wants to see’ as Tyson Fury’s likely next opponent is revealed

      by

      FRANK WARREN is set for a meeting with the WBC in a bid to force through Tyson Fury’s next fight. The Gypsy King saw talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk collapse earlier in the year.

      A deal for the historic title bout fell through amid a row over the split for a potential rematch.
      So Fury, 34, instead turned his attention to a summer return fight at Wembley before eyeing an undisputed showdown with Usyk, 36, after.
      But the undefeated WBC champion has been left with little available options on the table.
      So promoter Warren is set to speak with the WBC with the prospect of Fury facing a mandatory challenger next.

      Currently, Deontay Wilder is ranked No1 in the organisation, with Andy Ruiz Jr next and Anthony Joshua following after that.
      But the possibility of Fury fighting Wilder, 37, for a FOURTH time has got fans up in arms.
      One said: “No one wants to see fury wilder 4, fury ruiz could be an interesting fight.”
      Another added: “Oh c**p. Not another fight with cry baby sore loser conspiracy theorist Wilder??”

      One agreed: “Wilder 4. Just what people want.”
      Warren claimed Joshua, 33, turned down the chance to fight Fury in September.
      It comes with AJ in line to rematch Dillian Whyte, 35, in August before a proposed blockbuster with Wilder in Saudi Arabia in December.
      Ruiz, 33, was also accused by Fury of pricing himself out while Zhilei Zhang, 40, is set to face Joe Joyce 37, again after his April win.

      Watch ex-boxing world champion land insanely rare KO while on his BACK in MMA leaving fans awestruck

      by

      The Pole was last seen in the ring against Britain’s Richard Riakporhe, losing in January.
      His next fight would be a shock switch to the cage under Polish promotion KSW.
      And Glowacki, 36, won it with a rare KO after he was laid on his back on the floor with opponent Patryk Tolkaczewski raining down punches.
      But the boxer out of nowhere landed a left hand which caught Tolkaczewski on the chin.

      He was out for the count before Glowacki could land any ground and pound with the referee jumping in just in time.
      Fans were left awestruck at the way Glowacki managed to land the KO shot from his back.
      One said: “How has he got that much power down on his back like that. Epic shot.”
      Another added: “This honestly might be the first time I’ve ever seen this.”

      One wrote: “Most insane KO I’ve seen in a long time. Wow.”
      Another posted: “A KO while being fully mounted is insane and rare as f***.”
      On the same night, heavyweight boxer Artur Szpilka – once KO’d by Deontay Wilder – stopped strongman-turned MMA star Mariusz Pudzianowski.

      Anthony Joshua in X-rated Instagram rant denying Dillian Whyte talks as fans say ‘Usyk scrambled his brain’

      by

      BOXING fans have joked Oleksandr Uysk has “scrambled” Anthony Joshua’s brain following an X-rated rant on the Brit’s Instagram story. It comes after promoter Eddie Hearn claimed talks were now underway between AJ’s camp and Dillian Whyte’s for a targeted August 12th bout.

      However, following the promoter’s claim, Johusa took to his Instagram story to deny his knowledge of fight talks.
      Drawing inspiration from the lyrics hit UK rapper Stormzy – who will manage the England team at this year’s Soccer Aid – AJ, 33, said: “I don’t know about any talks to fight Dillian Whyte.
      “Everyday. AJ this, AJ that, AJ’s hairline going way back but I’ll still f*** your girl go retweet that.”
      A follow-up post came soon after, with Joshua posting a picture of Stormzy on his story alongside the caption: “AJ’s this, AJ’s that.

      “AJ says: ‘F*** off.”
      In response to the explicit posts, one fan reacted: “AJ has officially turned heel.”
      A second said: “Usyk proper scrambled his brain.”
      A third typed: “Finally came outta his shell.”

      “This AJ reminds me of the old AJ and I love it 😂💯,” confessed a fourth.
      One fan even believes his Stormzy-inspired posts could mean the fight is on, claiming: “This could be a sign the fight is on: didn’t Stormzy walk him on for the first fight?”
      Indeed, way back in 2015 – when AJ beat Whyte via a seventh-round TKO to win the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles – Stormzy performed during AJ’s ring walk.
      The musician previously had beef with Whyte.
      The heavyweight had claimed he could “knock out” Stormzy, with Stormzy responding by calling him out in his song “One Take”.
      Stormzy’s lyrics were: “I clocked it, my man’s lost it. Man held a beating, the ref should’ve stopped it. Mopped it, had one chance you flopped it.
      “Threatening me won’t make you the heavyweight champ, rudeboy stop this.”
      As well as a rematch against Whyte, Joshua has also been linked with a bout against Deontay Wilder.
      Indeed, promoter Frank Warren has even claimed AJ turned down a fight with Tyson Fury to target a showdown with the Bronze Bomber. More

      Tyson Fury offered fight by Eddie Hearn but it’s not with Anthony Joshua after star snubs blockbuster Battle of Britain

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has offered Tyson Fury a shock fight following the latest collapse of a showdown with Anthony Joshua.A third round of talks over the long-awaited Battle of Britain between the Gypsy King and AJ took place late last month but failed to bear any fruit.

      Fury, who is champing at the bit to get back in the ring, has recently flirted with fights with Aussie sluggers Dempsey McKean and Jai Opetaia.
      But Hearn has suggested the Wythenshawe warrior locks horns with the mandatory challenger for the IBF heavyweight title – Filip Hrgovic.
      The 43-year-old told Boxing Social: “Say you’re playing matchmaker for Tyson Fury, and you look at the rankings.
      “Imagine AJ fights Dillian Whyte then Wilder and [Oleksandr] Usyk fights [Daniel] Dubois. I’ll tell you if he wants, he can fight Filip Hrgovic.

      “If he’s looking for an opponent, he can have the Filip Hrgovic fight.”
      Hrgovic, 30, solidified his status as the No.1-ranked IBF heavyweight with a controversial win over Zhilei Zhang last August.
      The Croatian clubber has knocked out all but three of his 15 professional opponents, a stat Hearn believes will convince WBC king Fury to swerve the potential bout.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief continued: “Tyson Fury is smart, he doesn’t want a risky fight.

      ‘Hrgovic is mandatory for the IBF, but Tyson will say, ‘I’m not fighting him, nobody’s heard of Hrgovic!’
      “But there will always be a line.”
      Fury’s pursuit of a shock September showdown with Joshua fell through when the former unified heavyweight champ’s team informed them they intend to press on with plans to fight Deontay Wilder in December.
      But Fury promoter Frank Warren has begged the Watford warrior to reconsider the multi-million-pound domestic dust-up.

      Tyson Fury launches X-rated jibe at Anthony Joshua AND Usyk after he’s snubbed for fight in favour of Deontay Wilder

      Warren told talkSPORT that AJ’s team did not want to fight Fury ahead of a scheduled clash with Deontay Wilder in December, despite having a provisional date in August available.
      Fury posted quotes from Warren’s interview to his Instagram story and labelled AJ a “proper p***y boy” before taking out his frustration on Oleksandr Usyk.
      He said: “Usyk is a p***y so is AJ.”
      The jibe comes after months of speculation that Fury would fight either AJ or Usyk.

      Boxing fans’ hopes were raised when Fury claimed his team had sent a draft contract to AJ’s camp for a September bout.
      AJ’s team swiftly responded by denying they had been sent a contract.
      It is understood that AJ’s camp are focused on preparing for a lucrative fight against Wilder in December which would take place in Saudi Arabia or Dubai.
      During an appearance on talkSPORT, Queensberry Promotions chief Warren said: “Let me clarify what has actually happened.

      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST ONLINE CASINOS FOR 2023
      “Last week, a written proposal was sent to Matchroom for AJ to fight Tyson in September.
      “A couple of days went by, and George (Warren’s son) met yesterday with AJ’s management company.
      “They confirmed that AJ is fighting in Dubai in December, that is his preferred route.”
      Warren was frustrated by the fact Eddie Hearn had earmarked August 12 for Joshua’s second outing of the year, provisionally reserving the O2 Arena.
      He said: “There is a space open in August, but they basically do not want to do the fight.”
      Fury has not fought since his bout at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December against Derek Chisora.
      Fury’s criticism of Usyk comes after a proposed fight to unify all four belts in April fell through.
      The two have since traded jibes online, with Usyk saying: “The ball is on #Greedybelly’s side now. We did everything in our power to make it happen.” More

      Anthony Joshua SNUBS Tyson Fury as he pushes on with plans to fight Deontay Wilder in multi-million Saudi showdown

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has snubbed a historic Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury in order to throw down with Deontay Wilder, according to Frank Warren.Fury got boxing fans’ hopes of the long-awaited clash finally coming to fruition last month by claiming to have sent over a draft contract for a September showdown to Joshua’s representatives.

      AJ’s team, however, quickly dismissed the claim, insisting no preliminary contract had been sent their way.
      Negotiations, however, did take place – although Joshua’s management nixed the historic fight by doubling down on their intention to face Wilder in Saudi Arabia this winter.
      During an appearance on talkSPORT, the Queensberry Promotion’s chief Frank Warren: “Let me clarify what has actually happened.
      “Last week, a written proposal was sent to Matchroom for ‘AJ’ to fight Tyson in September.

      “Eddie Hearn came back and spoke to my son George, who said it will take a couple of days to see where they are with it.
      “A couple of days went by, and George met yesterday with AJ’s management company.
      “They confirmed that AJ is fighting in Dubai in December, that is his preferred route.”
      AJ promoter Eddie Hearn has earmarked August 12 for Joshua’s second outing of the year, provisionally reserving the O2 Arena.

      That has irked Warren, who added: “There is a space open in August, but they basically do not want to do the fight.
      “That is what happened.”
      Veteran prompter Warren was quick to walk back Fury’s claims of a preliminary contract being sent out.
      But he insists the WBC king is still hellbent on throwing down with the former two-time unified heavyweight champion.
      He said: “When Tyson said there was a draft contract, what happened is we had prepared a draft contract the last time we had negotiations.
      “So, there was nothing really to be concerned about in terms of negotiations; it was just if they wanted the fight or not.
      “So, the situation is: Tyson is desperate to make the fight happen, as he was against [Oleksandr] Usyk.
      “But AJ has chosen not to take the fight. That is where we are at.”

      Joshua’s decision to pursue a fight with Wilder is the THIRD time a dream fight with Fury has fallen through.
      The pair were due to throw down in the summer of 2021 after agreeing a two-fight deal.
      But their back-to-back bouts were scuppered when Wilder successfully won his arbitration case for a trilogy fight with Fury.
      Fury, 34, handed Joshua a shock world title lifeline last September just weeks after his fellow Brit’s second successive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
      AJ publicly accepted the offer but the fight didn’t come to fruition and Fury ended up fighting Derek Chisora in a much-lambasted trilogy fight.
      Fury hasn’t set foot in the ring since that December dust-up, which he won via tenth-round TKO.

      The Wythenshawe warrior was due to face Usyk in a historic undisputed title fight but the bout went by the wayside following his string of unreasonable demands.
      Joshua, meanwhile, was last in action in April – returning to the win column with a scrappy points victory over Jermaine Franklin. More
