Gervonta Davis Exposes Devin Haney – ‘He’s Not Who He Says He Is’

By
Gervonta Davis Devin Haney

Gervonta Davis says Devin Haney’s performance against Ryan Garcia exposed who he was as a fighter.

Haney was dropped three times with the same left hook as Garcia pulled off an upset win. This was the same Garcia that Davis had stopped last year with a seventh-round body shot. Before the Garcia fight, comparisons were drawn between Haney and Floyd Mayweather. There was the perception that Haney had taken the mantle over from Mayweather with his boxing style. However, Haney’s jab went missing in the Garcia fight. He also failed to make any adjustments.

“I watched the fight. I think that he [Devin Haney] overlooked the guy. He seen what I did to the guy and thought that he could do the same thing. It’s a lot of things he did wrong, and it showed that he’s not who they think he is…or who he says he is, but life shows you,” Davis said 

There was the perception that Haney had underestimated Garcia. In the build-up, he referred to Garcia as a C-level fighter. Looking back, people have questioned Haney’s opposition. Garcia was the first opponent of a similar size Haney faced in his prime. Before the Garcia fight, Haney’s biggest wins were against older fighters. Even the win against Vasiliy Lomachenko was controversial, with many feeling Haney lost.

Davis has said he wants to fight Haney following his 6-7 fight deal with PBC. The deal in question is more lucrative than the deal Floyd Mayweather signed with Showtime in 2013. Davis would fancy his chances against Haney, given he could do similar damage with his left hand. He has already faced off against Haney in person, teasing a potential fight.

Tank was pictured trolling Haney by posing near his truck. He then confronted Haney face to face as their entourage kept them apart. Any fight must occur at 140 once Davis clears up the 135-pound division. Even without a rehydration clause, Davis will fancy his chances based on what Garcia did.

Before Davis entertains a Haney fight, he must get past Frank Martin on June 15. Davis has his first fight since beating Garcia as he defends his WBA Lightweight Title. Should he win, he will target a fight with Vasily Lomachenko next. Tank responded to the Ukrainian’s win over George Kambosos Jr. to win the IBF Lightweight Title, saying Loma was next. With his new deal in place, Tank wants the biggest fights.

‘He looks skinny’ – Oleksandr Usyk takes aim at Tyson Fury’s physique as ‘Gypsy King’ reveals weight

By
Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury

Oleksandr Usyk insists Tyson Fury is looking ‘skinny’ ahead of their Saudi Arabia showdown.

The Brit has always carried a bit of extra timber around his midriff but ahead of his four-belt shootout with Usyk on Saturday, he is looking very trim.

Pictures uploaded to his social media earlier this week showed Fury with abs while his father, John Fury, has claimed that his son is coming in at a career-lightest weight.

As Fury made his way to the stage at the Grand Arrivals on Tuesday, Usyk, who was watching his adversary make the walk from the balcony above, could be heard saying: “He looks skinny.”

“That’s because he is nervous, when you get nervous you lose weight or gain weight like his mother.”

However, ‘The Gypsy King’ claims his weight isn’t any lower than usual.

“I’ll tell you my weight. I’m about 19 stone (266lbs). I’m 19 stone around about,” he told DAZN.

“I’m in good shape I’ve had two or three camps back to back.

“People say I’m looking skinny but I’ve weighed the same on my scales for the last ten years.”

Meanwhile, last time out he tipped the scales at a career-heaviest 277.7lbs for his crossover clash with Francis Ngannou.

But if Fury’s estimates are correct then he will be around the same weight for his next contest as he was for his previous two outings against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora in 2022.

“It’s difficult to know what is going to happen on Saturday night,” Fury said when asked about his expectations for fight night.

Lennox Lewis worries over the health of Jake Paul ahead of his pro fight with Iron Mike Tyson

By
Lennox Lewis Jake Paul Mike Tyson

Lennox Lewis has issued a word of concern for Jake Paul before the 27-year-old steps into the ring to fight Mike Tyson on July 20, despite Tyson fighting just once in 20 years.

Lewis, who was the last undisputed heavyweight champion in boxing, is regarded as one of the finest fighters ever and the best British fighter of all-time. That means he knows what he’s talking about and he called for Paul to be very weary of Tyson’s power.

Tyson’s preparing for his first professional fight since 2005 and there has been a wealth of concern about his long-term health if he sustains a series of head blows at the age of 58, but Lewis is looking at it differently as he worries for the inexperienced Paul.

“I’m concerned for Jake Paul,” Lewis told The Guardian. “Tyson still knows how to punch, as you can see when he’s hitting a bag.

Lennox Lewis Breaks Down Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

“If Jake Paul gets hit by one of those punches, he’s going to feel it. I know Jake Paul doesn’t want to get hit. Tyson comes forward and he knows how to cut off the ring. It could be a matter of time, as how good is Jake Paul’s defence?

“I saw Mike a couple of weeks ago and he looked good. He was walking around without a shirt and showing off his body so he’s getting ready.”

The fight will take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be streamed by Netflix for the first time ever, but the most interesting details are in the rules for the officially sanctioned professional fight.

JUST IN :Stephen A. Smith disgusted by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson being sanctioned as a professional boxing bout

The pair will compete in eight, two-minute rounds and will use 140z gloves. This is different to the typical regulation of 12, three-minute round fights with 10oz gloves. The glove change means that the gloves will be softer and cushioned whilst heavier, meaning the fighters will also lose speed in throwing.

Lennox Lewis gives fascinating answer when asked if he could make shock return like Mike Tyson

How did Lennox Lewis stop Mike Tyson? Can Jake Paul get tips?

Lewis has stepped into the ring to face Tyson once, and he emerged unscathed and victorious, so how did it happen? Can Jake Paul get any tips from watching The Lion’s fight in 2002, titled Lewis-Tyson: Is on?

On the night in Memphis, Tennessee, Lewis dominated the bout, showcasing his superior boxing skills and strategy. He utilized his height and reach advantage effectively, keeping Tyson at bay with his jab and landing powerful combinations.

Tyson struggled to find his rhythm and was unable to mount any significant offense and in the eighth round, Lewis unleashed a barrage of punches that overwhelmed Tyson, leading to a knockdown.

Despite Tyson’s efforts to continue, the referee stopped the fight, declaring Lennox Lewis the winner by technical knockout. It was a decisive victory for Lewis, solidifying his status as one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time.

World champion boxer eyes MMA fight against GWOAT Claressa Shields ahead of PFL debut… ‘That’s the plan’

By
Claressa Shields

World champion boxer Savannah Marshall has called out superstar Claressa Shields for a rematch in Mixed Martial Arts ahead of her PFL debut next month.

Whilst MMA fighters trying their hand at boxing is nothing new, it’s certainly a rarity to see not one, but two world champion boxers making the transition themselves across the cage-ring aisle.

Yet with undisputed super-middleweight boxing champion Savannah Marshall set to make her MMA debut in just a few weeks, we could be on an unlikely path to getting one of the biggest rematches in all of women’s combat sports.

Savannah Marshall wants to rematch Claressa Shields in MMA

Boxing champion Savannah Marshall is set to enter a whole new world of combat as she prepares to make her MMA debut at PFL Europe 2: 2024 Regular Season on June 8 from the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England.

The fan-favorite fighter is 13-1 as a professional boxer, with that one singular blemish on her record thanks dealt to her by one of the GWOATs of the sport in Claressa Shields, who herself signed for the PFL back in 2020.

Speaking via TalkSport, Marshall was asked whether or not a rematch with Shields, this time in the MMA cage instead of the boxing ring, could be part of her future strategy as she looks to become a two-sport world champion.

“Yeah, that’s the plan – everyone’s asking about me going in the league and pushing on from there, winning belts but hopefully [I’ll] fight Claressa in the cage. That’s my goal, I want that rematch.”

Given both the competitive nature of their rivalry and the desire to earn back her only ever defeat as a professional fighter, should Marshall continue to rack up wins and titles, a rematch isn’t only a possibility, it’s inevitable.

“The thing that pushed me into this PFL deal was the fact that the boxing rematch just wasn’t happening, and I was a bit devastated that it didn’t happen straight after, it never materialized and that’s just boxing politics,” Marshall revealed in a recent interview with ESPN MMA.

Mike Tyson puts interviewer on the ropes for asking dumb question about Jake Paul fight

By

Mike Tyson is eagerly training and counting down the days until his fight against Jake Paul. During his press run, a podcast host completely erased the excitement by hitting Mike with the wrong question, and this was his response that sucked the air out of the room.

Tyson teased the clip from the Damon Elliott Show on his Instagram account, where his 29 million followers were not shy about voicing their opinions.

Tyson did not appreciate Elliott’s question asking him for a prediction, as if he would choose a winner other than himself. Not only that, but the host also brought up Tyson’s famous bite on Evander Holyfield, drawing ire from Tyson’s loyal fan base.

“Mike you should’ve mauled his ear for bringing that shyt up,” another IG comment said.

The 57-year-old made the move to go sober as he prepares to fight Jake Paul, and careful observers believe that may be contributing to his tense attitude.

‘He’s next’ – Gervonta Davis reveals plan to finally fight Vasyl Lomachenko after Frank Martin clash and Shakur Stevenson reacts angrily

Gervonta Davis Vasyl Lomachenko Frank Martin clash and Shakur Stevenson

Gervonta Davis called out Vasyl Lomachenko during his win over George Kambosos on Saturday night.

The Ukrainian lightweight legend was dominant as he finally made his return a year on from his defeat to Devin Haney.

Lomachenko has often been criticised for starting slow but against Kambosos he got off to a quick start before his 11th-round finish.

The 36-year-old let his hands go early with several fast flurries that snapped back Kambosos’ head as he advanced.

READ NEXT :Gervonta Davis angers Mayweather by saying he would beat him up… will he be his next opponent?

The Australian home favourite gave a valiant effort, but was ultimately overmatched.

In round eleven, a brutal body shot floored him and Lomachenko quickly secured the finish by downing Kambosos once again.

Who's next for Davis? A look at the options

Loma is now the IBF lightweight world champion – and a four-time champ across three weight divisions.

Davis holds the WBA crown and is seemingly looking to unify in the coming months.

A boxing fan posted on social media during the fight: “Gervonta Davis would never fight Vasyl Lomachenko.”

To which Davis replied publicly: “He’s after Frank. Let me get Frank first.”

The ‘Frank’ he is referring to is of course Frank Martin – his opponent on June 15.

This vow from Davis has excited many boxing fans, but infuriated Shakur Stevenson, who has himself been calling for a fight with Tank but been denied by the fact they are represented by different promoters/advisers.

As Lomachenko has also spent his career with the same promoter as him, Stevenson replied to Davis by saying: “He’s on the other side tho.”

Fury, who has an impressive record of 34-0-1 and 24 KOs, had to postpone the fight due to a cut on the eyebrow he suffered after a blow from one of his sparring partners. While it delayed the fight, it also increased the anticipation for the fight between two great giants of world boxing today.

Mike Tyson’s fastest knockouts: Will he be able to do the same with Jake Paul?

By
Mike Tyson' Jake Paul

Mike Tyson is one of the hardest-hitting heavyweights in boxing history and his record of rapid knockouts does little to disprove it.

Jake Paul will be wary of facing the former champion, even at the age of 58, as he managed to end 44 of his wins inside the distance.

He will be hoping to add the 27-year-old to his impressive highlights reel of knockouts over the years when they face each other on July 20 in Texas.

It will be welcome news for Tyson that the exhibition rules allowed knockouts, as he earned his reputation for being one of the most lethal and rapid knockout kings during his illustrious career.

But could he really secure a knockout inside the first minute?

Mike Tyson’s best knockouts

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul disagree on who proposed fight rules

Clifford Etienne – 49 Seconds (2003)

Like Tyson, Etienne was a big puncher, who had built an impressive 24-1-1 record up to that point including 17 KOs. While Etienne came out swinging, he was almost immediately knocked down by Tyson‘s powerful right hand.

Michael Johnson – 39 seconds (1985)

Remarkably, this bout could have been over even quicker had Johnson not got himself back to his feet after the first 20 seconds. The American got himself back to his feet, only to be dealt a brutal overhand right seconds later to finish him off.

Ricardo Spain – 39 seconds (1985)

Tyson made his television debut by dispatching of Spain in exactly the same time as Johnson. In spookily similar fashion, he fell to the canvas after a similar time in the fight and got back up, but a vicious right hand did the job for Tyson.

Lou Savarese – 38 seconds (2000)

Perhaps one of his more controversial fights, ‘Iron Mike’ dropped his opponent in 15 seconds and Savarese‘s knees gave way as he tried to get up.

Referee John Coyle tried to stop the fight at that point, but Tyson continued aiming punches and as he tried to catch Savarese again, he caught Coyle with a powerful blow. To his credit, he leapt to his feet to wave off the contest.

Robert Colay – 37 seconds (1985)

In his 10th professional fight, Tyson laid out Colay with a massive left hook that knocked him opponent down. The fast nature of the defeat was humiliating enough for Colay to take a five-year absence from boxing before returning in 1990.
