Former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion Alexander Gvozdyk believes that two fights will be enough for him to get another opportunity to fight for the title.
Frank Warren, in an interview with talkSPORT, assured that intensive negotiations over the organization of a fight for four heavyweight belts between Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) are still ongoing. The fight is scheduled to take place on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London.
Derek Chisora (33-13, 23 KOs) expressed his opinion on the possible upcoming meeting of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and IBF, WBA and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Against the background of the lack of positive news on the negotiations, some boxing fans are gradually losing faith in this fight. It is interesting that Chisora is the most dissatisfied in this regard, who received his largest fee in his career for the fight with Fury in December.
According to the Daily Mail, Conor Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) intends to sue the British Boxing Commission (BBBofC), which stripped him of his boxing license due to two positive doping tests ahead of the eventually canceled fight with Chris Eubank Jr..
Former American Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder shared his opinion on the fight between his compatriot Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, which ended in a split decision in favor of the British. “I think Jake was better. I think the referee was wrong when he took off his glasses. I think that the victory was given to Fury only because of the deducted point. The referee should have given three warnings first, but he did not. He has no place in boxing,” said Deontay Wilder.
“Do not judge me by my victories, but judge by my defeats and how I will return after them,” said Jake Paul (6-1, 4 KOs) after the first defeat in his career at the hands of Tommy Fury (9-0, 4 KOs) last Sunday in Saudi Arabia. This was already the third attempt to organize this duel. In both cases, the Englishman, half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, refused to participate.
Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) is currently in Saudi Arabia with Shelley Finkel, his manager and advisor, who is working on various options for his charge.
Former world champion in four weight classes Adrien Broner (34-4-1, 24 KOs) announced on social media that he is a free agent and is looking for a new promoter. A few months ago, the American signed a contract with BLK Prime, but this cooperation did not last long.
To the newly minted WBC world heavyweight champion Badu Jack (28-3-3, 17 KOs) in the next professional fight, he will have to defend the belt with Noel Gevor (26-2, 11 KOs).
Tommy Fury (9-0, 4 KOs) won by split decision Jake Paul (6-1, 4 KOs) in the main event of the evening in Saudi Arabia. After eight rounds, one of the judges saw Paul win 75-74, while the other two favored Fury 76-73.
