Eddie Hearn slammed Gervonta Davis after the Baltimore resident accused him of being involved in Ryan Garcia’s botched drug test.

Garcia tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine both pre-fight and post-fight, following a majority decision victory over Garcia. Devin Haney last month.

“Tank,” who stopped Garcia in seven rounds last April, posted a series of tweets intended to defend his former rival and hit out at Hearn, who did not promote the fight but is part of Haney’s team and was involved in the brawl in Brooklyn.

In a now-deleted tweet, the 29-year-old wrote: “They are doing everything to take away Ryan’s win… in which case BANNED EDDIE HEARN SILVER POON ASS!”

Hearn and Davis have exchanged information numerous times on social media in recent months, including after “Tank” revealed Hearn’s bid to fight Conor Benn earlier this year.

Matchroom’s boss did not take kindly to his comments, but says he will not take legal action against him.

“I should sue Gervonta Davis for defamation,” Hearn said Social boxing.

“But honestly, I don’t care because the guy posts a tweet and then deletes it again.

“What is this all about?

“If you have something to say, say it and stand by your words.

– So you’re implying that I had a hand in Ryan Garcia testing positive for VADA? Do me a favour.

“Many players tested positive for VADA and I never once said ‘someone is out to get me’, and there are probably a lot of people like that.

“I sent him a DM and said, ‘You’re stupid,’ because he’s done that to me before.

“If I said something he doesn’t like, it’s a DM and I’ll do the same.”

According to a boxing expert And Rafaelwho first reported the news, Garcia “tested positive” for norandrosterone, although this is under IRMS analysis and has not been confirmed.

“King Ry,” who was 3.2 pounds compact of his weight the day he tested positive for drugs, denied knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs before dumping Haney three times and freeing him from his undefeated record.

Hearn suggested that Haney will now push for the result to be set aside as an inconclusive while Garcia has 10 days to request a B sample.

Haney said in a statement: “It is unfortunate that Ryan deceived and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting grubby and breaking positive emotions not once, but twice.

“Ryan owes fans an apology and in his recent tweet he still thinks it was a joke.

“We risk our lives to entertain people.

“You don’t play boxing. This put the fight in a completely different delicate.

“Despite this unfavorable situation, I still fought with my shield and got up.

“People die in this sport. This is not a joke.

“No matter how you look at it, Ben Whittaker has disappointed a bit, so you have to worry about how large of a prospect he will be at world level.

I hope he comes back well and robust and shows us all that he is a beginning.

“I love watching him fight. I love his razzmatazz. I love his energy, nonchalance in the ring and self-confidence.

Jake Paul has already been told by Mike Tyson’s replacement option that he will be ready to fight

Published

on

Roy Jones Jr has expressed his willingness to fight Jake Paul if he is called upon to replace Mike Tyson. The 55-year-old boxing icon said he was looking forward to replacing Tyson after the scheduled July 20 fight between Paul and Tyson proved to be a setback.

Tyson had to withdraw from the long-awaited fight due to being declared incapacitated due to the recurrence of a peptic ulcer. Considered one of the most talented fighters to ever step into the ring, Jones faced Tyson in an eight-round exhibition match, who had scored no goals four years earlier.

Still, the accomplished multiple world heavyweight champion didn’t mince words about the prospect of facing Paul, showing he’s ready to compete if he gets the nod. “I’m kind of thinking about it,” Jones told Betway earlier this year, referring to the possibility of facing Paul. “I might try to get in shape if that happens. Maybe I can achieve that.”

“I’ve never thought about it before, but given the situation surrounding the fight, I think it’s a great idea and I’ll be ready and in shape because if the fight doesn’t happen, this will be the perfect replacement fighter for Mike Tyson with Jake Paul is something I was thinking about, if the fight happens, then yes.

Despite retiring six years ago, Jones couldn’t resist returning to fight former UFC champion Anthony Pettis last September, which he lost on points, reports said. Mirror. Addressing the rumors circulating about a potential fight with Tommy Fury, Paul’s previous opponent, and the possibility of facing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at the exhibition, the former heavyweight champion expressed his enthusiasm.

“Of course the Tommy Fury thing came up, and one day someone asked me if I would fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the gala, and it’s crazy. I would jump on it, but now that it’s out there, it makes sense for Jake Paul to get into shape, and it would be one of the biggest fights of the decade.”

Jones, reflecting on the much-discussed fight, admitted he couldn’t imagine Paul beating Tyson, once called the most feared man in boxing. He suggested that despite Paul’s juvenile age, Tyson’s skills would likely overwhelm him.

Speaking to FightHype, Jones said: “It’s a juvenile lion and an elderly lion. It’s a great situation for them. He gives Jake a chance because Mike is his age. I think it’s a great opportunity for both players, but still, I think Mike will be a little too large for Jake.

While Jones appears ready to go, reports indicate that Tyson, 58, has recovered from a grave relapse of a peptic ulcer that left him dizzy during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May, allowing him to enter the ring against Paul .

Paramedics rushed to facilitate Tyson at LAX and, after a thorough examination, confirmed he was doing well despite his fear. Discussing the incident with Mail Online, Tyson revealed that his food choices were to blame for his health scare, revealing: “I was eating too much bad food and stuff and it made me diseased.”

The highly anticipated fight between Tyson and Paul will take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. They are expected to fight in front of a potential audience of 90,000 viewers, and the fight will be streamed live on Netflix.

Frank Warren says there are several options being considered for Daniel Dubois’ next move beyond a rematch with Anthony Joshua.

Last month, Warren sat ringside and watched his man Dubois stunningly knocks out Joshua to retain the IBF heavyweight world title at a packed Wembley Stadium.

Early indications were that both would withdraw immediately, with Saudi Arabian boss Turki Alalshikh reportedly keen on a second all-British clash between the two.

However, while Warren confirmed that “Dynamite” would be released again in early 2025, he added that it “may not” involve Joshua again.

I’m talking to DiscussionSPORTQueensberry’s boss stated:

He will fight next year, early next year. And we are only looking at a few matches

Hopefully we can do it by next week and he will face us. But he will defend his title and we will see who it will be.

“It might be AJ, it might not. It depends. But whatever happens, he will come out.

“He will definitely face someone and take advantage of what he did in that fight.

“I mean, he really, really, announced himself on the world stage in a large way, right?

“I mean, I have no problem with this fight [Joshua rematch]. I would fight all day for him.”

If a rematch with “AJ” is not next, Dubois has been linked with fights against the likes of Joseph Parker, Zhilei Zhang and the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury on December 21.

Many boxing celebrities urged Joshua to stay away from the rematch with “DDD” and some even said he should consider hanging up his gloves.

But his promoter Eddie Hearn insists the Watford player, who celebrated his 36th birthday today, is adamant he wants a chance to get revenge on his younger compatriot.
