Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder Trilogy

Watch the three epic fights between two modern day warriors Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Everyone thought that if Wilder caught him with one of his big punches that it would be all over and it very nearly was in their first fight. That fight ended in a draw. The two subsequent rematches were a different story though with Tyson winning comfortably in both bouts.

‘NO PROBLEM, B***H’

He is coming off the back of two defeats to Dustin Poirier, the first by second round knockout and the rematch by doctor’s stoppage.

And his old rival Diaz has now come out and suggested McGregor take on undefeated fighter Chimaev, something the Dublin-born star has agreed to.

Speaking on Twitter, Diaz said: “Let him[McGregor] fight kamrat [Khamzat Chimaev].

“That be a great fight to make. He needs a easy new guy to fight anyway.

“He can taper back in and see if he can even still fight at all. Great idea Nate. Thanks.”

Responding to Diaz, McGregor then simply said: “No problem, b***h.”

The former two-weight UFC world champion has since deleted the post.

And Chimaev then got involved in the discussion by also appearing to agree to the fight with McGregor by posting a handshaking emoji and a casket – seemingly as a threat to McGregor.

In his 10 professional MMA fights to date, Chimaev has stopped all of his opponents inside two rounds.

He is one of the hottest prospects in the UFC, most recently seen at the end of October when he submitted Li Jingliang in just three minutes.

Meanwhile, McGregor has revealed he has gained two and a half stone since he weighed in before facing Dustin Poirier at lightweight in July.

McGregor has been smashing the weights recently and it appears to be paying off, as he tweeted: “190lbs of granite.”

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury talk up British rivalry with undisputed world title clash back on course

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury hold all the world heavyweight titles

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury relished the opportunity to talk up their British rivalry as they received the go-ahead for an undisputed world title clash next year.

The WBC has confirmed Fury has ‘no restrictions’ to prevent a blockbuster battle with Joshua after WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte suffered a shock loss to Alexander Povetkin last weekend.

Mauricio Sulaiman, the WBC president, has revealed how Joshua was in line for a WBC title fight earlier in his career, but the governing body would still welcome a fight between their belt holder and the WBA, IBF and WBO champion.

Sulaiman told Sky Sports: “Joshua fought for the IBF title when he was WBC No 2, and he received an opportunity, so we understand and appreciate that he got an opportunity and went in a different direction, however, the WBC was the first organisation to rank him, ranking in the top 10, top five.

“We knew the value of Joshua.

“Joshua to do an ultimate unification with Wilder, if he wins, or Fury if he retains, would be magnanimous.”

Unified champion Joshua remains confident he can topple Fury, predicting how he would overpower the WBC champion during an appearance on ‘A League of Their Own.’

“First six, I know I’m going to take him out,” said Joshua. “I’ve had a shorter career, so I’m fresher. Been in the deep end longer, so I’m used to the pressure.

“I believe I’m going to handle the pressure and I’m going to take him out.”

Referring to Fury’s win over Wilder, Joshua added: “Fury drew in the first fight. Came back rejigged all his plans and just took it to him and knew how to beat him, and just took him to school really, put him on the back foot.

“I believe I’m better than Wilder, faster, whatever you want to call it. I reckon I’m going to be doing this for another 10 years.”

Fury made a typically swift response on social media, saying: “I would batter Joshua inside the first round.”

Joshua is expected to defend his belts against IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in December.

Frank Warren, Fury’s UK promoter, has stated that the unbeaten 32-year-old will return before the end of the year, preferably in a third contracted fight with Deontay Wilder, and then will target Joshua.

“Tyson wants to fight AJ and he doesn’t want anything getting in the way of that,” Warren told Sky Sports earlier this month.

“He wants to get through our contractual obligations [to Wilder], get through that fight and then get onto the fight with AJ.

“That’s the fight that matters, so if we can get Wilder out of the way, that’s then the next fight that he wants, and I want, and all the British public, and probably everybody in the world wants – is him against Anthony Joshua.”

Lenny Mclean vs Roy Shaw 3

Two of Britain’s Hardest Men, back in the day Roy Shaw and Lenny Mclean go at it for the third time. As you will see, it was a little bit one sided but respect to Roy Shaw for taking those shots. A lesser man would’ve gone down after the first punch.
