If he lost he would have been humiliated. This could have been a complete disaster for boxing and for Tyson Fury’s career. “Tyson Fury looked a little bit washed tonight and I don’t know why,” Todd Grisham said on DAZN.
Well just finished my ahem stream, that was a fight for the ages, I love the Canelo stood in the pocket with GGG but I think GGG carried the fight home in the last 3 rounds. Fantastic fight, I’m not getting into the result shitfight, I just loved the bout. So there will be fourth fight then, ggg to win the third first… Box Nation I am not quite sure if they are even offering the fight BT sports might have it via VPN of course. Watched the weigh-in team Canelo looked upset!
Fury and Usyk were first lined up to box each other in December, but the Briton’s difficult night and slim victory over Ngannou changed plans. February was the first official date for the undisputed fight, but Fury suffered a cut over his eye, delaying the bout until May. Don’t forget, Fury’s come out of the Francis Ngannou fight in October, gone into camp for the first date in February. That was postponed, he got cut, he stayed in camp.
He has the belt, Horn also has the backing of the Qld government. Poor Crawford can barely get people to watch him outside of Omaha. Well, we dont know that because Crawford is fighting a much bigger guy in Horn. Remember, Crawford was a huge lightweight.
Are boxing weight classes limited by height or reach?
The overweight boxer may lose a percentage of their price or be ineligible to win the title if their opponent makes weight. Boxers must follow weight limits to preserve the sport. There is no second chance for an amateur boxer to try to make weight after the initial weigh-in; they must be successful the first time. Before the beginning of the competition, there is a « general weigh-in », and on the morning of each fighter’s fight, there is a « daily weigh-in ». The competitor’s weight must be within the weight class’s upper and lower limitations at the general weigh-in. However, only the higher limit is strictly enforced at the daily weigh-in.
Hoping and praying that he had a punchers chance in the later round was a forlorn hope. Yesterday was NOTHING compared to the manny fight… He was clearly beaten and unable to fight back.

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol return to the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which staged their first encounter, too. The venue only opened its doors in 2023, and Dmitry Bivol fought on the first boxing card held there, beating Lyndon Arthur to claim the IBO light heavyweight world title (December 2023). We were all left craving more when the final bell rang at the end of the epic first encounter between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia last October. Thankfully, we haven’t had to wait too long to see two of the most incredible light heavyweights of this generation reignite their rivalry. Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 takes place on Saturday, February 22, at the same venue as the first encounter – the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. All four major light heavyweight world title belts are back on the line, and we are salivating at the prospect already.

1-2’s not enough to keep Mikey at bay; When Mikey got inside just opened up a whole lot of pain. Good money fight would be against Amir Khan; as both fighters looking for massive paydays. I don’t think Horn is going to get another fight at that level. He can always go usyk-vs-parker.com for a Pacman rematch if Manny beats Matthysse tomorrow. Bloody oath, Wilder & Joshua are both KO losses waiting to happen, they should just fight whilst they’re both undefeated and make a killing, they can always rematch for another big pay day.
- For me Horn’s experience from fighting Manny and Crawford will be invaluable, Horn to win.
- And now this Sunday yet another Australian championship fight could be determined when Beterbiev defends against Bivol, that fellow star who sits in the promotional stable of Hearn.
- From first-timers to professionals, our boxing classes are developed for all levels of experience.
- I also have just watched the « highlights » (via news.com.au) this morning, and in slow motion, yeah, Horn’s left hook briefly hits Mundine’s glove, or more accurately glances off it, before connecting with Mundine’s face.
- No offence to Horn, but he is going to get absolutely schooled by Crawford.
