JAKARTA – Tyson Fury was able to beat Oleksandy Usyk three times a night as long as he used a simple game plan prepared by Billy Joe Saunders.

“I don’t think anyone out there can beat Usyk. Tyson Fury, he can beat Usyk three times a night with one simple game plan.”

“Very, very simple how to beat it. You have to use your body size. You have to use your physical advantages.”

“Every attribute you have must be used optimally against this man,” Saunders told talkSPORT.

In the first duel, Fury took the lead before Usyk appeared aggressive at the end of the match to win a historic victory and secure an undisputed heavyweight world title.

Saunders paid close attention to Fury vs Usyk’s first fight. He actually saw that the British boxer could bring Usyk down in the early rounds.

However, that moment was missed. Saunders considered that Fury should not waste the first five rounds in the second clashes later.

“The first five rounds were like a sparring session for him. Actually, I’ve seen him do a tougher sparring in the first five rounds than that fight.”

“When he fell unconscious on the floor and people didn’t think he would get up, it turned out he was rising. That’s when he would change his tactics.”

“You have to give him praise. I know there is a lot of speculation about the ninth round, but he didn’t fall, he was still standing and fighting.”

“I’m not looking for excuses for him, but I know what happened in the camp and what didn’t happen in the camp.”

“I know that in terms of sparring and other small things, there are things that are missing and need to be fixed this time,” said Saunders again.

Saunders is currently Fury’s training partner in preparation for Usyk. He also believes this time the boxer nicknamed the King ofTEN will win a landslide against the Ukrainian boxer.

“He asked me to go to the training camp with him. So, I’m happy to say that I’m going with him.”

“I’m sure Tyson Fury will win the next fight. I’m sure he will also win with KO,” said Saunders.

Tyson Fury has ambitions to avenge the only defeat he has ever suffered against Usyk.

The King ofTEN was defeated for the first time in May 2024 by Usyk. The Ukrainian boxer was then named the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion with four belts.

Now, Fury is looking forward to his rematch on December 21, 2024 and has been given instructions by good friends and former Saunders champions.

Jake Paul‘s fight with Mike Tyson has drawn considerable criticism from the boxing world.

Despite 57-year-old Tyson not having fought professionally for almost twenty years, his eight two minute rounds with the YouTuber-turned-fighter will be sanctioned, albeit with 14 ounce gloves.

Many in the sport worry for the fighter’s health in against an admittedly novice fighter but with some activity, youth and power. Tyson Fury does not fall into that camp.

Speaking to The Stomping Ground, the former heavyweight champion who was named after ‘Iron’ Mike said the fight was ‘fantastic for boxing.’

“I think it’s fantastic for boxing. You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up with millions of followers and millions of views. Good, bad or indifferent, some people love him, some people hate him.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul

I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing, it brings a lot of people to the game. Who am I to say Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing? Good luck to them, they’re both gonna make what I call a s**t ton of money out of it.”

Speaking on the Furocity YouTube channel, Tyson’s half-brother Tommy took a completely different view. He called the fight ‘criminal’ due to Tyson’s advanced years.

“He’s my idol from growing up. But I want to challenge young men who can challenge me properly. [I don’t respect it] Why are you preparing to beat a guy who is 60 years of age, one of the best to ever do it? It’s criminal, to be honest, I don’t know why it’s being allowed to happen. I hope both men come out unscathed.”

The 25-year-old – who is the only man so far to have beaten Paul – has also said the fight is ‘ridiculous’ and ‘shouldn’t be allowed.’

Kevin Johnson has faced a who’s who of heavyweights over the course of a 20-year career, including Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois and Vitali Klitschko.

The contender-turned-journeyman managed to take Klitschko the distance in 2009 and did the same with Fury three years later, losing both via unanimous decision, before being stopped in the second round by Joshua in the Brit’s thirteenth fight, one year before he would win his first world title.

Johnson – who has moved Russia and changed his name to Kevin Vladimirovich – has also fought and lost to the likes of Daniel Dubois (UD), Martin Bakole (TKO 5) and Andy Ruiz Jr (UD). None of the men mentioned hit him harder than an Australian heavyweight known as ‘The Lionheart’ – as revealed in an interview with Sport Express.

The names of Fury, Joshua and Klitschko were put to ‘Kingpin’, but he stuck to his original answer.

“No, Alex Leapai is the physically strongest boxer I have ever met in my life. Not only in a fight – I then went back to Australia, lived there for a while, and we sparred together every day. He is powerful.”

Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller

Alex Leapai is a one-time world title challenger with 32 wins from a total of 44 fights, 25 of those coming by way of knockout. He was beaten by Johnson in 2012 after going on a run of 17 bouts undefeated. He lost via fifth round stoppage to Wladimir Klitschko two years later after a one-sided affair.

The hard-hitting Aussie was last out in 2019, a short-notice fight against former world titlist Joseph Parker in which he lost via tenth round TKO.

How much money would it take to dethrone the champions in every major division? DAZN Boxing gave their fans a sum of $18 million in a recent social media post to choose their team. So, who are these champions? Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, former super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, and former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. But wait, there’s more.

WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue, and women’s WBC super bantamweight champion Yamileth Mercado were also part of the lineup. This was enough to get fans excited as they picked from the options with price tags to defeat each champion in their division.

Terence Crawford VS Canelo Alvarez AND Jermell Charlo

Who are the challengers?

In addition to the defending champions, DAZN Boxing gave their followers five challengers they could pick from each division with a diminishing price tag. The only catch was the total price tag of the six challengers they chose should not cross $18 million. For Usyk, the challengers were Tyson Fury ($5 million), Anthony Joshua ($4 million), Zhilei Zhang ($3 million), Martin Bakole ($2 million) and Moses Itauma ($1 million).

For Canelo, the list of challengers included Edgar Berlanga ($5 million), Osleys Iglesias ($4 million), Jamie Munguia ($3 million), Diago Pacheco ($2 million), and William Scull ($1 million). In a similar diminishing cost, for Terence Crawford, the challengers were Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Jermell Charlo, Sebastian Fundora, and Xander Zayas.

Gervonta Davis had Shakur Stevenson, Vasyl Lomachenko, William Zepeda, Abdullah Mason, and Mark Chamberlain. Meanwhile, Naoya Inoue had to face one of the following: Angelo Leo, Brandon Figueroa, Rafael Espinoza, Murodjon Akhmadaliev, and Bruce Carrington. And finally, Yamileth Mercado.

Gervonta Davis vs Vasyl Lomachenko

Her challengers were Erika Cruz Hernandez, Elleie Sctotney, Mea Motu, Phannarai Netisri, and Nazarena Romero. Seeing such a formidable list of challengers, fans quickly took their personalized list to the comments section to challenge the kings of the division.

Fan wonders if they should keep the money

There’s a reason each of those fighters is a champion—nobody can beat them. This led one user to come up with an alternative. The user wrote, “Can I keep the $18M instead? Half of them not losing.” However, Davis and Crawford are yet to face Stevenson and Ennis, so their crown isn’t exactly safe.

However, the next user was all in on the game, as he shared his list to beat the kings of the divisions. “Bakole, Pacheco, Ennis, Stevenson, Carrington,” the user wrote. This user seems to have forgotten about Mercado, and he is even left with $3 million.

The next user had some changes in his list. The user chose, “AJ, Pacheco, Boots, Loma, Shu Shu, Netisri.” Skipping Stevenson for Davis was interesting, but the lack of money may have influenced this user’s decision.

Terence Crawford Vs Jaron Ennis

Another user presented his list to fight the kings. The user commented, “Bakole, Pacheco, Ennis, Shakur, Bruce.” Even this user seems to have forgotten about Mercado, with several million left.

Meanwhile, this user was left bamboozled with the list of challengers provided for Canelo Alvarez. “That Canelo column is pure foolishness…. Im not playing this game …. Yall ruined it,” the user wrote. This could be because of the absence of David Benavidez.

While the list of fighters people chose to defeat the champions of each division is interesting, making those fights in real life can prove a bit difficult. But the post from DAZN Boxing gave a clear idea of what fights people would like to see. Regardless, who would you choose to beat the kings?

Savannah Marshall admits the prospect of a meeting with Claressa Shields in the cage is the main reason behind her decision to step into the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

‘The Silent Assassin’ recently announced she will make her MMA debut in the Professional Fighters League in Newcastle on June 8.

It comes little under a year after Marshall became undisputed super-middleweight champion with a majority decision victory over Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Manchester.

The victory marked her emphatic response to suffering a first career defeat at the hands of Shields on a historic all-female card at The O2 arena in October 2022, the pair having been embroiled in a long-term rivalry stemming from Marshall’s victory over her counterpart in the amateur ranks, which remains the American’s only loss.

Claressa Shields VS Dmitry Salita

“This is why the PFL have signed me, because they can see the potential of me and Claressa fighting in the cage,” Marshall told Sky Sports.

“I saw her in her last fight live, and now I know what I’m looking at on the ground I know how hard it is, because watching her first two fights I thought she was terrible.

“But now I know how hard it is, changing your boxing and defending takedowns, you aren’t just looking at fists, you’re looking at feet and I get it.

Anthony Joshua is preparing for one of the biggest fights of his career later this month.

Having risen to the very top of the heavyweight division in quick fashion early on in his career, Joshua has had a number of ups and downs since.

He became a world title holder in 2016 and made successful defences against the likes of Dominic Breazeale, Alexandr Povetkin and Carlos Takam, unified against Wladimir Klitschko and Joseph Parker, then came unstuck against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 out in New York.

Otto Wallin vs Tyson Fury

He avenged that loss later the same year but again lost his WBA, WBO and IBF belts on points over 12 rounds when taking on Oleksandr Uysk. The rematch went the same way in 2022 and since then Joshua has been rebuilding with four solid wins over Jermaine Franklin, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius and most recently a devastating knockout of Francis Ngannou back in March.

He now faces current IBF champion Daniel Dubois on September 21 for his chance to come a three-time world champion.

Ahead of that he has spoken to DAZN Boxing and played the winner stays on game.

It finds him picking Muhammad Ali over all of the proposed contemporary opponents including himself, Dubois, Fury, Usyk and legends like Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.

After winning gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Ali turned pro and beat the likes of Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Earnie Shavers over his 61-fight campaign. The former undisputed heavyweight champion was known as ‘The Greatest’ and left his mark not just on boxing but on history and politics.

Mike Tyson had such an impact on the sport of boxing that one of the current top heavyweights was named after him.

Many would like to see that legacy left alone and are disappointed that he’s returning at 57-years-old to face YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul.

Tyson Fury VS Mike Tyson

That doesn’t include Tyson Fury, ‘Iron’ Mike’s namesake and whose half-brother Tommy is the only man to beat Paul. He told The Stomping Ground that the controversial event was ‘fantastic for boxing.’

“I think it’s fantastic for boxing. You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up with millions of followers and millions of views. Good, bad or indifferent, some people love him, some people hate him.

As for his verdict on the fight, Fury believes that, based on ‘Iron’ Mike’s short training clips posted online, it’s evenly matched.

Jake Paul AND Mike Tyson VS Tyson Fury

“Okay the guy’s 57-years-old, but he’s former undisputed world heavyweight king and one guy who plays computers for a living who’s come into boxing about a year ago – so pretty even match … You’ve got to admire them both and I wish them both the best of luck. I seen Mike’s training hard on his videos, and Jake Paul’s always in shape. People say it’s s**t but I bet they still watch it.”

Many have pointed out that Tyson’s gym work, which does look impressive, is in short bursts designed for social media and doesn’t show what comes next – the recovery.

Whether he has what it takes to deliver that on the big stage over eight two-minute rounds remains to be seen. Of course, he himself may believe it will be over much quicker than that.

Asked what it is about Shields that made her want this role, Destiny said via email: “I kept saying how much I wanted to be a part of projects that tell stories about women in ways we may have not seen before.

They can sometimes go under the radar, but the people who train the best boxers are pretty brave as well and Gervonta Davis‘ trainer has gone after Floyd Mayweather.

Mayweather retired from professional boxing with a record of 50-0, with huge names like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez failing to beat him when the chance came around.

He has never even been knocked down by an opponent’s punch, so you’d have to be brave or stupid to take him on.

Taking to Instagram, Gervonta Davis‘ trainer wrote, “Gervonta Davis can decode the shoulder roll if Floyd can fight another exhibition. He can fight another fight if he is great as he says he is. Let’s stop spinning the fans, Gervonta vs Floyd.”

Davis was actually a part of Mayweather Productions in the past when he was trying to make his name, but since departing in 2022, he has been at loggerheads with Mayweather and a fight has been on the cards.

Mayweather had big hopes for Davis when they started working together.

“Uh, no I asked [was] what [Floyd] for the whole summer before I signed with him you know before I even you know signed anything on paper he already bought me cars, he bought me jewelry, and things like that,” Gervonta once said in an interview.
