      Anthony Joshua slams Deontay Wilder for ‘dodging and ducking’ undisputed fight as Brit demands WBC clash with Tyson Fury

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has slammed Deontay Wilder for ‘dodging and ducking’ an undisputed fight between them.
      The heavyweight pair failed to agree a meeting despite two years worth of negotiations, before Wilder instead chose a rivalry with Tyson Fury.

      After a draw in 2018, Fury comprehensively beat the American in seven rounds this February.
      Following the crushing loss, Wilder’s attention turned to making up several excuses for why he suffered his first ever defeat, and demanded a trilogy.
      He also admitted to turning down a fight with AJ for more money in order to rematch Fury.
      And Joshua feels relieved that the finger can no longer be pointed at him for why he never got to face Wilder.

      He told Sky Sports: “He told the world that he ducked and dodged me.
      “We offered him a fight for the undisputed championship of the world and he went down the route of fighting Fury.
      “I’m glad we can clear that up and move on. As time goes on, it will all come to fruition and make sense.”
      Wilder, 35, is not giving up on his pursuit to force through a shot at revenge against Fury, 32.

      He has initiated a mediation to review his case after the Gypsy King tried to walk away from the fight, believing the immediate rematch clause expired.
      It leaves Joshua’s hopes of a Battle of Britain up in the air, but his focus right now is facing Kubrat Pulev, 39, on December 12.
      AJ, 31, uploaded pictures training for the mandatory defence, appearing to work on his uppercut.
      He even posted on Twitter that it was his ‘favourite punch’ – the same shot that famously landed on Wladimir Klitschko in 2017.
      After fighting Pulev, Joshua wants to turn his attention to the WBC title, the only crown missing from his heavyweight collection.

      He said: “It’s always been my wish. Not just the WBC but competing with the toughest challenges that the heavyweight division has to offer.
      “That’s the only way to get better, right? You have a tough night, you go back again, you improve whether you win or lose.
      “Fighting for the WBC would be an honour. It’s a prestigious belt, it’s one that I’m keen on getting my hands on.
      “When the time is right, the opportunity will present itself.
      “When the WBC talk comes around? Hopefully people understand that: ‘Joshua is serious’. Which I am.”

      Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr: UK start time, date, live stream, undercard, rules for boxing fight

      by

      BOXING legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr will face off in a spectacular exhibition fight in LA.
      The 54-year-old Tyson will face Jones, 51, in a long-awaited bout, with the Baddest Man on the Planet dropping an incredible SIX stone to get in shape for the clash.

      How Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr match up

      The California State Commission say the exhibition will be fought under the rules that both men will not look for the knock-out and will instead “exhibit” their skills, but both fighters have come out and said the contrary.
      When is Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr?
      The big fight is now set for Thanksgiving Weekend – Saturday, November 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
      It was originally set to take place on September 12 but the event has been postponed until later in the year.
      The undercard is expected to start at 9pm ET which is 1am GMT and the main event will follow between 4am and 5am GMT.
      The legends are set to eight rounds in the ring, with Youtube star Jake Paul and NBA star Nate Robinson confirmed for the undercard.

      What live stream and TV channel is Tyson vs Jones Jr on? 
      BT Sport Box Office will be broadcasting the fight in the UK.
      The event will cost £19.95 to watch.
      Coverage begins at 8pm ET, which is midnight in UK. The undercard is set to start from 1am GMT.
      The social media site Triller will also be airing the PPV fight.
      Emmy-winner Mario Lopez hosts the show, and musical acts will be announced for performances too.
      Who is on the Tyson vs Jones Jr undercard?
      YouTuber Jake Paul leads the way on the four-fight card when he takes on ex-NBA star Nate Robinson.
      Elsewhere KSI’s trainer Viddal Riley is also in action as is former super-middleweight champion Badou Jack.

      What are the rules of the fight?
      The fight will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds.

      No headguards will be worn but the fighters will be wearing larger 12-ounce gloves.
      Technically the fight can only be stopped if there is a knock-out, but California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Forster said he will stop it as soon as a cut appears.
      Forster said: “Tyson and Jones Jr. won’t be wearing headgear for the fight. They’ll be lacing up 12-ounce gloves and there won’t be any judges present at the fight to score the action. So, technically, there won’t be a winner unless a knockout somehow occurs, or either fighter is deemed unfit to continue.
      “They can move around and make some money, but I told them if you get cut, it’s over.”

      Roy Jones Jr, 51, last fought only two years ago
      What have they said?
      Mike Tyson: “We’re throwing punches at each other. This is going to be my definition of fun … broken eye sockets, broken jaw, broken rib. That’s fun to me.”
      Roy Jones Jr: “He’s still Mike Tyson, he’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him.
      “He’s the bigger guy, he’s the explosive guy. He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me.
      “I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman.” More

      Watch Mike Tyson throw punch at enemy Floyd Mayweather with Money not even flinching in incredible throwback video

      by

      MIKE TYSON and Floyd Mayweather have been on bad terms since 2001.
      And Iron Mike nearly took the beef to a whole new level in 2014 when he pretended to punch him on stage.

      But the stunt did not faze ‘Money’ Mayweather who laughed it off and proceeded to awkwardly hug the heavyweight icon.
      The pair reportedly fell out after a 2001 police raid on Tyson’s Las Vegas home which Iron Mike accused Mayweather of calling.
      Tyson could never prove Mayweather’s involvement and later admitted he was over it.
      He said: “I’m good with it now. You can forgive, but you have to remember.”

      But this was not the case in 2014, when the two met on stage at a boxing event.
      Mayweather could be seen shaking hands with other well known boxing guests before Tyson rushed up to him.
      Mayweather held his hand out to shake but Tyson ignored and it threw a punch at the middleweight champ – deliberately missing his face by just inches.
      Money did not even flinch and instead smiled and awkwardly hugged Tyson – who makes a comeback to the ring this Saturday against Roy Jones Jr.

      The footage seems to show the incident ending in a jovial fashion but that illusion was shattered a year later when Tyson slammed Mayweather for suggesting he was the greatest boxer of all time.
      Iron Mike said: “He’s very delusional.
      “Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of great as Muhammad Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself.
      “OK, he can’t take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he’s great?
      “Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people.
      “It’s being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself. He’s a little scared man. He’s a very small, scared man.”
      Tyson also revealed his one fantasy fight would be against Mayweather.
      Mayweather recently opened up on another feud – this time with rapper 50 Cent.
      And YouTuber Logan Paul is sparring again having called Mayweather out – saying he ‘would snap the f***er in half’.

      What Tyson and Jones Jr have said
      “Now I’m doing it with a lot more enthusiasm because I’m doing it for someone else,” Tyson explained.

      Jones Jr said: “I thought I was done.
      “When I got the call from my team saying ‘Mike Tyson wants to fight you’ — that’s bucket-list material.
      “Everywhere I go in life, people ask me ‘Hey, did you ever fight Mike Tyson?’ Now I don’t have to say ‘No’ no more.

      “I’m so glad to get this opportunity because now I can say, ‘Yes, I did. I sure did.’
      “And guess what? Tune in on the 28th, and you’ll see how it goes.”

      Joe Joyce shows off ripped physique in incredible four-month body transformation ahead of Daniel Dubois fight

      by

      JOE JOYCE showed off his incredible body transformation with his ripped physique ahead of the Daniel Dubois fight.
      The Juggernaut, 35, has shredded the pounds and piled on the muscle in recent months.

      Frank Warren shared this incredible four-month body transformation of his man Joe Joyce

      And the extent of his hard work was evident for all to see with Frank Warren’s before and after photos.
      In a photo from July 2020, when he beat Bryant Jennings and Michael Wallisch in the space of a fortnight, the heavyweight is certainly carrying a fair bit of extra weight.
      But just FOUR months later, a pic from November shows a much leaner, more trimmed shape with his muscles bulging.
      And, combined with the grimace, it offers a threatening prospect for Dubois.

      Warren captioned the side-by-side images: “We see you @JoeJoyceBoxing.”
      Joyce also tweeted the recent photo and added: “War Ready!”
      The Londoners go head to head on November 28 in their rearranged bout, which was due to take place on April 11.
      They will step into the ring around 10.30pm with the British, Commonwealth and vacant European heavyweight titles on the line.

      Interestingly, it is being staged at the iconic Church House Westminster.

      The fight is a big one for Joshua, who can all but secure a money-spinning pair of bouts with Tyson Fury with an emphatic win.
      When is Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev?
      The fight is scheduled to take place on December 12.
      It was originally scheduled for June 20 but the coronavirus pandemic put a halt to those plans.
      What time does Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev start?
      Fight night will likely get underway at around 5pm with some undercard bouts live on Facebook.
      Joshua vs Pulev can be expected to start at around 10.30pm UK time on December 12.

      What channel is it on and can it believe streamed?
      Joshua vs Pulev will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office.
      The price of the pay-per-view has been set at £24.95, which is more than usual for a PPV event.
      The event can be live streamed from the Sky Sports Box Office app, which you can download onto your mobile or tablet device.
      What has been said?
      “I have been watching his fights carefully. He has a good style and he is a good specimen, but he has not shown any mental toughness,” Pulev said.
      “Yes, he has skills, but he hasn’t shown the mental strength. This is something from within, in the blood of a man, and he does not have it.
      “Whatever mental toughness he’s got, I know I’m the harder person. This is the difference – my toughness will prevail.”

      But Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has said his man will do the business on fight night.
      “I went to see him yesterday, he looked absolutely sensational,” Hearn told Sky Sports.
      “He’s learning, he’s punching so hard, so sharp, so fast. I think this is going to be a tough fight against Kubrat Pulev. I also think he is going to absolutely destroy him.
      “I think he’s going to break him down, he’s going to dissect him, and he’s going to punish him. I think you’re going to see a statement.
