Eddie Hearn already has date set for undisputed heavyweight fight following Usyk vs Fury II

By
Eddie Hearn Usyk vs Fury

The heavyweight division in boxing is in a fantastic place at the moment. Two behemoths in Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury finally squared off a few weeks ago, with the Ukrainian coming out as the undisputed king of the division.

The possibility of a rematch was quickly floated by Fury himself, and it certainly appears that that’s what we’re going to get. That decision could very well free up a world title belt if the IBF doesn’t grant Usyk an exception, which makes things very interesting for mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.

Hearn is just one promoter and can’t make all of the final decisions, but his plan is not far-fetched at all. In fact, it’s the likely outcome and course of action.

‘Chink in his armour’ – Anthony Joshua has glaring weakness that Daniel Dubois can exploit, claims Barry McGuigan

By
Anthony Joshua Daniel Dubois

Former featherweight world champion Barry McGuigan has insisted that Daniel Dubois can exploit a ‘chink in Anthony Joshua’s armour’.

The 26-year-old is the frontrunner to box Joshua in his next fight on September 21 at Wembley Stadium.

Queensberry chief Frank Warren recently informed talkSPORT that the pair are currently in talks to face each other later this year in a fight that could be for the IBF heavyweight title.

Dubois defeated Filip Hrgovic on the unprecedented Queensberry-Matchroom 5 vs 5 card two weeks ago to pick up the IBF ‘interim’ belt and may end up being elevated to full champion if the major sanctioning body strips Oleksandr Usyk.

READ MORE NEWS :Oleksandr Usyk could yet avoid being stripped of heavyweight world title and disrupt Anthony Joshua plan

This is dependent on the IBF’s ruling over Usyk’s request for an exception to allow him to hold onto the belt for the Tyson Fury rematch on December 21, rather than face his mandatory challenger next.

Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn told to ‘grow a pair’ by Daniel Dubois’ trainer

Regardless of whether the all-British showdown is for a title or not, Dubois will feel like a world champion if he topples AJ.

‘Triple D’ opens up as a heavy underdog with the bookies, but McGuigan insists that if he can land flush on Joshua’s chin, then it could be ‘Goodnight Irene’.

“If he gets through to Joshua’s chin then its game on,” wrote McGuigan in his column with the Mirror.

“Joshua is the more complete fighter, marginally quicker. And he has rebuilt impressively since he lost for the second time to Usyk.

“Most would still take Joshua to win. But nothing is a given if Dubois can back up his Hrgovic victory with another mature performance.”

EXCLUSIVE :Savannah Marshall wants rematch with Claressa Shields in PFL: ‘That is the goal for me’

By
Savannah Marshall Claressa Shield

Savannah Marshall has a clear plan for her MMA career.

Marshall is the undisputed super middleweight champion of women’s boxing, but on Saturday, she trades in her 10-ounce gloves for four-ounce ones when she makes her MMA debut against Mirela Vargas at PFL Europe 2, in Newcastle, England.

On The MMA Hour, Marshall explained how she ended up making the move from the ring to the cage.

“How it came about, it was after my fight with Claressa [Shields] at the O2,” Marshall said. “Obviously she signed with the PFL. They approached me and said, ‘Look, have you ever thought about doing MMA? Would you consider a potential matchup with Claressa in the cage?’ And that was it. I was like, why not? It’s not something I’ve thought about but it got my ears pricked and I’m invested.”

“It was never on the bucket list, but when lockdown hit in 2020, I remember seeing MMA fighters getting a lot more opportunities than female boxers were,” Marshall continued later. “So I did a little bit … a couple sessions with Molly McCann and Leah McCourt in Liverpool, and I remember thinking, ‘Nothing is taking off for women boxers, so let’s give it a go.’ Then women’s boxing went through the roof and we were getting all these opportunities and I got a world title opportunity.”

Marshall previously faced Shields in October of 2022 for the undisputed middleweight title. With Marshall’s WBO belt and Shields’ WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring titles on the line, Shields won a unanimous decision in a competitive matchup. Shields signed with PFL in 2020 and a rematch inside the cage is Marshall’s primary goal for now.

“They’ve given me a four-fight deal, and I think it’s all about what happens Saturday, to go from there,” Marshall said. “Whether I’ll get the Claressa rematch, whether I don’t. Obviously there’s a lot of politics and things behind it, but that is the goal for me.”

Shields has fought three times in the PFL, building a 2-1 record that has left fans wondering if MMA is something the boxing champion should continue to pursue. And while Marshall was equally critical of Shields at first, after putting herself in the same situation, she now has a better appreciation for what Shields is doing.

“To be honest, before I started training myself, I was really critical,” Marshall said. “And then when I started doing it myself, I thought, right, I can see how she’s struggling, [smiles] because the transition from boxing to MMA, it’s a lot harder than what I thought. A lot harder.”

But the time is almost here where Marshall gets to put all the work into practice, and she’s ready for the opportunity.

“It’s exciting,” Marshall said. “For a long time now, I don’t think I’ve experienced nerves, really, fight week for boxing. So because this is all new, I’m waiting for them to kick in…

“I’ve never been in the cage before. I’ve never walked to the fight in flip-flops before. To me, this is all the unknown.”

PFL Europe 2 takes place Saturday at Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England.

The Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk event had tremendous losses despite 1.5m PPV sells

By
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk

His excellency Turki Alalshikh is the man responsible for this recent boxin revival he has put together with his Riyadh Season events in Saudi Arabia. The most recent fight was arguably the most important boxing eventt he has put together, it was reported that it sold an excess of 1.5 pay-per-view sales. it was the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight. But despite these results, Alalshikh still came out short with the fight’s finances. The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s entertainment authority reportedly lost $27 million despite making over $50 million from PPV sales alone. All of this information comes from a recent report made by the folks at ESPN, who made a detailed explanation of how his excellency lost all that money despite how successful the event was.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch on 21 December says Saudi official - BBC Sportbreak even. If we make an addition to all of those numbers, we come up with $93 million of revenue that the event generated in total. However, the final cost of this event was a staggering $120 million. This translates into a whopping $27 million deficit that left Turki Alalshikh with absutely no earnings from this. But it’s probably accurate to think this is not going to prevent Alalshikh from making more events of this nature down the line.

There are not many promoters like his excellency, who can see the value of putting together an event that will make them lose money but it will deliver a historic moment. That fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is already one of the greatest heavyweight fights in boxing history. Turki Alalshikh understands that his name and his country will be linked to this event forever. We still have the rematch coming up and judging on these results, Alalshikh will probably come into it knowing he may lose millions again. But none of that matters to a country where they make money from oil production.
