    Crawford vs Madrimov: What has been said? 

    Speaking about the upcoming bout, Crawford said: “I cannot wait to get back in the ring in my fourth weight class and remind the world why I’m the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

    UPDATE:Robert Garcia Believes That Terence Crawford Will Be a Tough Opponent for Canelo

     

    “Israil Madrimov is a tremendous and entertaining fighter, but on August 3, he will be my next victim. This is the Terence Crawford era.”

     

     

     

     

    Madrimov’s promoter Eddie Hearn thinks that Crawford is underestimating his opponent. Hearn said: “I think they’re underestimating him. He’s extremely tough and he hits very hard.”And it’s all like, ‘Canelo after this.’ Don’t get me wrong. Crawford is the favourite in the fight, but Madrimov is a very, very tough fight.

    “He’s got great movement, he’s a fit, strong guy in his prime, and as I said, he punches very hard, and that’s not an easy fight.”

Martin Bakole has long been rather in the shadows of the heavyweight scene.

The Congolese boxer is a big problem for anyone in the banner division but has often struggled to get the fights he wants because of that, with promoter Ben Shalom once calling him ‘the most avoided man in boxing’. He hits hard and has a good engine but has not yet managed to get a shot at a world title.

Since then he has put together a solid string of wins over the likes of Mariusz Wach, former Olympian Tony Yoka and best of all Carlos Takam – whom he stopped in his most recent contest in October of last year.

Speaking to iFLTV, Bakole assessed his upcoming fight with Jared Anderson in the United States and vowed to ‘100%’ get the knockout.

“I’m a fighter and a boxer so I’m looking forward to seeing what ‘The Real Big Baby’ will bring.

He’s never fought someone on my level so this is his first test. He could come and surprise everyone but I don’t think so. This is my time. I’m looking forward to it. I’m working very hard, he’s a pro boxer, he’s number 1 in the rankings in America. He’s 7 in BoxRec, I’m 11, he’s a good boxer so I’m taking a tough fight.

Be ready Anderson. 100% I’m coming to fight and to get the knockout, this is my time.”

24-year-old Anderson will present plenty of problems for Bakole. He’s a feared puncher with an incredible 90% knockout ratio from his 17 fights and has been labelled as the future of the division by former world champion and one time sparring partner, Tyson Fury.

Jaron Ennis is now the man to beat at welterweight after Terence Crawford made the decision to move up in weight.

Crawford became the single ruler in the division when he put in a career-defining performance against Errol Spence Jr last time out.

Going into the fight, many billed it as a 50/50 contest but ‘Bud’ dominated from the opening bell, dropping Spence three times until the referee called a halt to proceedings in the ninth round.

With that victory Crawford wrote his name into the history books as the first man to ever be undisputed champion in two weight classes in the four belt era – a feat that has now been matched by the ‘Japanese Monster’ Naoya Inoue and the heavyweight king, Oleksandr Usyk.

The 36-year-old then made it clear that he only wants legacy building fights before he hang up the gloves and targeted a clash three weight classes up against super-middleweight ruler, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

With Canelo undecided about a Crawford bout claiming he won’t receive any credit for beating the naturally smaller man, ‘Bud’ has decided to move up one division to take on WBA super-welterweight champion Israil Madrimov in an attempt to become a four-weight world champion.

Ennis however believes he poses the toughest test to Crawford and wants his countryman to either move back down to 147 or stay at 154 to face him.

The 27-year-old has put in a string of eye-catching performances and boasts an undefeated record of 32 wins with 29 coming by way of knockout.

UPDATE:Is Terence Crawford vulnerable against Israil Madrimov?

Ennis could be forgiven for being bitter about Crawford chasing Canelo, but instead praised the fight as a ‘good’ contest in an interview with Fight Hub TV.

“It’s a good fight, two good fighters, it’s a good fight.”

Roy Jones Jr is regarded by many as one of the best to ever lace up the gloves, so is well qualified to judge the top fighters in the game today.

Arguably the most talent-stacked divisions in boxing are lightweight and super-lightweight, with the likes of Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez all plying their trade there.

A potential lightweight unification fight which intrigues fans and offers a fascinating clash of styles is ‘Tank’ Davis versus Stevenson.

Most pundits are split as to who would come out on top – the precision punching power of Tank or the defensive skills of Stevenson.

Speaking to All The Smoke Fight, Jones was full of praise for both men, starting with Shakur,

“Shakur Stevenson is a very good fighter, but he’s got to learn and I hope he pays attention to this, his feet are good but sometimes they take him too far out of range to be able to come back and counter. The last guy he fought, the guy was a good puncher, so when he was jumping back he was jumping too far back out of range to where he couldn’t get couldn’t get something right away and for the fans it starts to look boring.

He’s a great fighter, he’s got great eyesight, he’s got great reaction time, he’s going to be a great fighter, he’s just got to figure out how to use the feet a little differently.”

The former four-weight world champion believes ‘Tank’ is one of the deadliest fighters in the sport.

“He’s one of the best ones out there. He’s really pound for pound one of the best ones out there, He can punch but he also can box. Somebody that can box can’t punch, somebody that can punch can’t box. Not many guys can do that today.

UPDATE:Floyd Mayweather Gives the World an Inside Look at His New Private Jet: “Fresh Out the Paint Shop”

He shows discipline, he knows how to set the punch up before he does it, he’s patient enough to set the punch up before he does it, that’s a real chess player in the boxing ring, that’s the most deadly kind of guy in the world in boxing, a guy that can play chess in the boxing ring is a killer.”

Chennedy Carter led Chicago with an impressive 34 points, while Angel Reese secured her 16th double-double in 17 games with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Either you hate it or you motivated. 2 planes give them 2 more small reasons to hate”. While the new purchase is great for Mayweather, his pilots should be excited too!

Floyd Mayweather once tipped his pilot $1000

All the way back in May 2023, Floyd Mayweather said in a video that he tipped his pilots “$1000 apiece” after a turbulent flight onboard his lavish jet. “Today, I tipped my pilots $1,000 apiece because it was kind of rough”, Mayweather said. However, the story doesn’t end there. He said something only someone like Floyd Mayweather could say.

UPDATE:Roy Jones Jr. explains why Gervonta Davis is the most deadly kind of guy besides Mike Tyson

Mayweather shared some tipping advice for the people who often fly private, saying, “Everybody that has got their own jet, you’ve always got to tip your pilots no matter what”. For someone who could fly to a new country just for a picture, $200 or $2000 doesn’t really matter. So, he added that it doesn’t matter if the tip is $200 or $2000, they should tip their pilots.

One user in particular really leaned into him, with a more general commentary on fame as a whole.

 

Jake Paul‘s 2024 is either going to be a smashing success — or a colossal flop. In a few days, boxing fans might know for sure, one way or the other.

Paul was set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on July 20 — but that bout has been pushed back to November, owing to Tyson‘s ulcer flare-up in May. Instead, Paul is set to battle bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. If that bout goes well, it is full speed ahead for the Tyson fight on Nov. 15. But if it doesn’t go well for Paul…all bets might just be off.

Jake Paul to face Mike Perry after Mike Tyson fight postponement

Paul: If I don’t beat Perry…

Paul seems to be keenly aware of the gamble he is making by fighting Perry — who has developed a reputation as one of the world’s fiercest bare-knuckle fighters through his UFC exploits. And although his focus is firmly on Perry, Paul understands that he is putting himself in some danger ahead of receiving the biggest paycheck in his life this November.

“A lot of people think I’m crazy for pivoting to this; why Mike Perry, why now, why take the risk, you could lose the biggest payday of your life against Mike Tyson if you lose to Mike Perry who is a violent killer, a bare-knuckle, undefeated legend over there,” Paul told DAZN in a new interview.

Paul has told DAZN and ESPN‘s “Pat McAfee Show” the same thing: if he loses to Perry, the Tyson fight isn’t going to happen.

This whole entire thing is a giant risk,” Paul said. “I’m focused on July 20, I’m focused on Mike Perry and just being in that mindset is what will lead me to victory.”

Who did Mike Tyson fight recently? Clues ahead of his Jake Paul fight

So why is Paul choosing to fight Perry, who boasts a perfect 5-0 record as a bare-knuckle fighter? One word: showmanship.

“I need the experience, I need to stay active. I fear no man, I’m ready anytime, any place, anyone, and I truly back that up with my action,” Paul explained to DAZN. “It’s not something I just say walking around. I’m just down to f***ing fight and I love performing.”

Paul understands the bet he’s making, and how easily it could backfire and set his boxing career back. The former YouTube star is going forward with it anyway, and it remains to be seen whether he can ward off Perry‘s challenge on Saturday night.

 

Oleksandr Usyk’s coach has refused to rule out a mixed martial arts “wildcard” option if he defeats Tyson Fury again.

Earlier this year, Oleksandr Usyk was able to overcome Tyson Fury in their undisputed heavyweight boxing showdown. It was an incredible contest full of many twists and turns, but in the end, it was Usyk who managed to get his hand raised in victory.

Now, as you can imagine, the plan is for them to run it back. They made a whole lot of money the first time around, and that’ll likely be the case with the second one – regardless of where it’s held.

In a recent interview, Usyk’s coach Sergey Lapin discussed some fascinating possibilities for what he could do after the Fury rivalry is over.

Usyk’s exciting future

“He’s proven he’s the best of this generation and once he’s retired Tyson Fury, he will consider his options,” Lapin told Betway. “Maybe that’s dropping down in weight again. Or, maybe there’s a wildcard option on the table for him, be it in the boxing ring, the MMA cage. Or, even Conor McGregor’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

“Can you imagine Usyk and Jon Jones fighting to prove they’re the baddest man on the planet?” he continued. “Or maybe it’s a third fight with Anthony Joshua in the MMA cage. Maybe it’s Jake Paul at Cruiserweight. Although, Usyk would need to fight him with one hand behind his back though to make it fair.”
