Shane Fury, the brother of Tyson Fury, has disclosed that the Gypsy King is poised to receive a record-breaking payday when he faces Oleksandr Usyk in May. The boxing community had anticipated their clash this month, originally scheduled for February 17. However, the bout has been postponed to May 18 due to Fury's severe eye injury sustained during training—an assertion disputed by both Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, and Tyson Fury himself. Shane Fury has dispelled these rumors and confirmed that his brother is on track to secure the most substantial payout of his career. “There is no narrative about it in my eyes," he told Boxing King Media. "Let me tell you, Tyson’s getting near on triple the amount of his highest payday. So that’s the one reason why you’re not gonna get pulled out. Another reason is we’re too confident of beating Usyk." "Listen, I believe Usyk is a great fighter and he beats them all. I don’t there’s anyone else who beats him. "Bu...

Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) expresses frustration, stating that his promoter Eddie Hearn proposed a substantial offer of $10 million to $15 million to Gervonta Davis for a potential bout. Benn suggests that if Davis finds the offer insufficient, he should opt to stay home instead of pursuing the match. The tone of Benn's comments has been likened to that of a privileged individual accustomed to having his desires met. Despite this, Benn urges Davis to accept the proposal, portraying his plea as an attempt to encourage Davis to agree to the fight by disclosing the substantial offer. The authenticity of the offer mentioned by Benn remains uncertain. Hearn has not publicly disclosed the financial terms proposed to Tank Davis. It is plausible that Benn might be speculating with an inflated figure to exert media pressure on Tank, urging him to accept the fight. Regarding the financial aspect, Conor Benn conveyed to the media, "f $10 million-$15 million ain’t enough, then stay quiet, ...

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom encountered no hurdles in persuading his star boxer, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, to step into the ring against MMA veteran Francis Ngannou. Initially, Joshua was set to face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in a highly anticipated bout. However, this plan hit a snag when Joseph Parker scored an unexpected twelve-round unanimous decision victory over Wilder on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Joshua, appearing in the main event of that card, halted Otto Wallin. Hearn shared insights, stating, “Look, we were due to announce the Deontay Wilder fight in the ring that night. Both guys had signed a contract to announce the fight, and [Turki Alalshikh] was very excited. Obviously, it was one of the most highly anticipated fights that could be made this fall. It’s four years in the making, everyone was really excited. Obviously, Deontay Wilder lost. So from that moment, the cogs are turning in [Alalshikh’s] mind, ‘What are we going to do...

Oleksandr Usyk, the IBF, WBA & WBO heavyweight champion, is gearing up for a potential upset against the towering WBC champ Tyson Fury in their undisputed championship clash on February 17th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Analyst Chris Mannix and others believe that Usyk's punching power could pose a serious threat to Fury, challenging the conventional wisdom that size will determine the outcome. Despite Fury's impressive record and stature, questions arise about his recent performances. The controversial pound-for-pound rankings added fuel to the fire, placing Canelo Alvarez above Dmitry Bivol, the man who defeated Canelo. Fans argue that Fury's wins against Deontay Wilder and others may not accurately reflect his true standing in the heavyweight division. Several factors are contributing to doubts about Fury's invincibility. His age, 35, is considered advanced for a heavyweight, and signs of decline have been noted. Usyk's superior athleticism, coupled with wear and...

  Canelo Álvarez, an undeniable modern-day legend in boxing, finds himself under scrutiny in recent times, with public opinion questioning his choice of opponents since his loss against Dmitry Bivol. The controversy escalated when DAZN shared Ring Magazine's top five pound-for-pound list, positioning Canelo in the fourth spot, while Dmitry Bivol, who defeated him, was ranked lower. This ranking decision sparked considerable debate and criticism.   Canelo's last bout saw him secure a dominant unanimous decision victory over Jermell Charlo in September of the previous year. In contrast, Bivol added another win to his record by defeating Lyndon Arthur. The inclusion of fighters on the list, which featured Terence Crawford, Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk, Canelo Álvarez, and Artur Betrbiev in that order, drew varied opinions from fans. However, the focal point of criticism was Canelo's presence on the list and Bivol's absence, perhaps intensified by Canelo being the only o...

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis has stirred the boxing world by expressing his displeasure with the Saudis and making unconventional demands. In a bold move, Tank has thrown down the gauntlet, insisting that the Saudis send him "two Ferraris" to initiate talks for a potential clash with WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia. This demand goes beyond the usual negotiations, signaling Tank's assertion of his status as the star in the proposed bout, while casting Haney as the lesser B-side, a weight-bully opponent lacking drawing power. The request for expensive cars is symbolic, conveying Tank's belief that he deserves special treatment as the marquee attraction. It's not merely about material possessions; it's a message to the Saudis that Tank Davis is the headliner, and Haney is merely an adversary without the same star power. This strategic demand is just the beginning, as Tank is likely to seek a substantial financial package, potentially ...
