Boxing analyst Johnny Nelson doesn’t think Tyson Fury will rematch Oleksandr Usyk. Nelson believes 35-year-old former WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO) will never fight Usyk again after losing to him last month on May 18.
Downward spiral
Johnny feels that Fury was trying to understand what happened to him after this loss. He is currently on a downward spiral, just as he was after his fight with Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
This time it’s different. Fury is aged, his skills are diminishing, and his youth is long gone. Unlike then, this time the Gypsy King will no longer be able to rebound.
There is no youngster to come back and the heavyweight division has too many talented fighters. Fury cannot rely on limp legs, not the world-class Deontay Wilder, who will look like 24-carat gold in order to deceive the public.
Nelson believes Fury hasn’t been in his best shape since his first fight against Deontay Wilder in 2018 because that was the last time he showed the physical skills that made him a good heavyweight.
Wilder knocked out Fury in the twelfth round of that fight, after which the referee strangely counted out the unconscious Tyson. Fury’s knockout brought something out of him,
Since that fight, Fury has turned into a mauler who is completely dependent on grabbing and ducking. Fury’s career has been aided by tender drafting in recent years as he fights against Wilder, Dereck Chisora, Dillian Whyte and Francis Ngannou.
When Fury was finally put in a fight with a good fighter, Usyk, he lost and was exposed for the flabby mess that he is. There is talk of a rematch between Fury and Usyk on December 21, but if it happens, most believe it will not end well for Tyson.
A shadow of his former self
“I think for Tyson Fury the awareness of what happened to him will come slowly but surely. I don’t believe Tyson Fury will fight Oleksandr Usyk next time or again,” said Johnny Nelson Second exit about his belief that Fury will not rematch undisputed heavyweight champion Usyk on December 21.
Nelson believes that the rumors about a Fury-Usyk rematch are just scorching air and it will not happen. Fury is so luxurious he doesn’t need it and is starting to realize he doesn’t have it.
Given the enormous Getty-style fortune Fury is sitting on, he has no incentive to operate it in the way he would have to hope to regain his position. I don’t blame Fury.
When you have so much cash, who needs to be so tired of getting up in the morning, denying yourself luxurious, caloric foods and torturing yourself at the gym?
“He [Fury] Either he’s packing or Usyk is retiring or going downhill [to cruiserweight]– Nelson said. “I don’t think he will be involved with Usyk again. I think he will retire because of the way it failed and he will have to deal with it.
Yes, Nelson is right. Fury looked against Usyk and Francis Nganoue. It’s gone and never was. He would have lost to the then 39-year-old Vladimir if the Ukrainian talent had been younger and given up.
Wladimir gave up this fight without throwing any punches, which had a lot to do with his advanced age.
“That’s exactly what it is,” Nelson said, reacting when told Fury was starting a downward spiral, much like he did after the 2015 fight with Wladimir Klitschko. “I try to say it without saying it, but for me: that’s exactly what it is.”
Fury’s downfall isn’t just mental. It’s physical too. He has grown aged and cannot move like the adolescent spirit he was ten years ago. Even if Fury was mentally and physically motivated, he would still be an older fighter in his 30s and would have just as much trouble against Usyk in the rematch as he would if he was dogged.
“When you’ve had so much financial success and made it to the top, unless you really love it and are prepared to go through it demanding and get back there again, why would you listen to someone you think is a lesser person than you? tell you what to do?” Nelson said.
“His first fight was against Deontay Wilder [on December 1, 2018] was his last outstanding performance. Tyson Fury may be training well, but I feel the last time we saw him at his best was his first fight against Wilder.
Fury’s performance against Wilder in their first fight in 2018 was far from stellar. In this fight he just moved, took faint shots, feinted and clowned. Even as flawed as Wilder was, he still dropped Fury twice, knocking him unconscious in the twelfth round. Fury thought it was great, but not for a good heavyweight.
If Fury had fought Anthony Joshua or even cruiserweight Usyk back then, he would have lost because he was completely beatable.
“Yes, no,” Nelson replied when asked if he believed Fury would win the rematch with Usyk. “He may not have lost his legs, but he’s not the fighter he used to be. His last fight and the fight before it [Francis Ngannou] he told us this. Maybe it’s time,” Nelson said of Fury’s need to retire.
“The World Boxing Championships (WBA) Committee has granted special permission to Super Featherweight World Champion Lamont Roach Jr. to move up in class and face Gervonta Davis for the lightweight championship on December 14.” And so, after the above statement, it seems that the mighty, popular and undefeated Gervonta Davis has her next opponent.
“NoXcuse Boxing Promotions submitted a formal application on September 13,” the WBA continued in its public announcement, “which was accepted by the committee for consideration and consultation with Albert Batyrgaziev’s team, which has a mandatory weight of 130 pounds. challenger… after appropriate analysis and based on the internal rules of the organization, it was decided to grant Roach’s request under certain conditions.” One of these conditions concerns Roach’s possible win.
“If Roach defeats Davis in the fight, he will have five days to submit to the WBA a decision on which of the two titles he will retain and defend,” the WBA said. “On the other hand, if he were to lose the fight, he would have to fight an official 130-pound challenger within 120 days of the Davis fight.”
The Association then showcased the true effectiveness of Roach, the super featherweight champion, as Davis’ opponent. “Roach has a long history in the WBA, during which he won regional titles and elimination fights before becoming champion on November 25, 2023, defeating Hector Garcia in Las Vegas. On June 28, he completed his first defense against Feargal McCrory in Washington, D.C. with a knockout victory.
No matter how much the WBA praises Roach, few will expect him to ever defeat Davis in a professional fight. After all, Davis has a brutal, flashy fighting style that has yet to let him down in a career spanning 30 fights over more than a decade. Although Roach boasts a 25-1-1 record, he has never attracted the attention and fanfare that Davis has. But again, anything can happen in the ring.
Still, it’s going to be challenging for this fight – if indeed signed – to become a roaring financial success when the media likes headlines like “Gervonta Davis’ Next Fight Confirmed and Fans Are Not Impressed,” which appeared on Tuesday. however, he was never known for great fight reports. Add to that the fact that Davis has a gigantic fan base and the result could be significant pay per view buys. Probably not as much as the promotion would like.
ProBox TV CEO Garry Jonas and Jamie Conlan will work together to bring ProBox TV’s “evenly matched action fights” ethos to the UK, starting on November 1 with a huge show in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The next event will take place a month later in Waterford, Ireland, on December 7, before Jonas and Conlan head to England and Scotland in 2025.
In the first event to be held at the SSE Arena, 18-1 (9 KO) Irish lightweight heavyweight Padraig McCrory will face Spain-based Colombian Leonard Carrillo (17-5 (6 KO)) and former Irish amateur star Kurt Walker, 11- 0 (2 KO) will face Rudy Garcia (13-1 (2 KO) from Los Angeles) and Robbie Davies from Liverpool, 23-5 (15 KO), after a 10-round loss to Sergey Lipinets on ProBox TV earlier on TV ProBox TV. year, he will face Dominican southpaw Javier Fortuna 38-4-1 (27 KO) in the junior middleweight division.
There will be even more work to be done in the future as part of the bill between ProBox TV, the US boxing channel that broadcasts worldwide – and owns BoxingScene – and Conlan Boxing.
“From day one, our plans were to enter the British market,” Jonas said. “This is the home of boxing. These are the best and most well-informed fans in the world. The US may be the best market for the biggest fights due to sheer population, but on a per capita basis the UK is by far the best English-speaking boxing market in the world.
Jonas said plans for 2025 are to launch in Liverpool and then begin arriving in the UK.
“We are a boxing channel, not a promoter,” Jonas explained, “with a very clear philosophy about the type of fights we do. Equally tailored action fights are what a true fan really wants to see; good fighters in great fights. We do not support a specific player; every fighter has a fair chance to win. We needed to find a promoter in the UK who was willing to follow these guidelines and we are pleased to announce that Conlan Boxing will be our promoter on the other side of the ocean. Jamie and Michael Conlan are among the best adolescent promoters in Europe and we are confident that they are the right people to facilitate us develop the ProBox televised fight series across Europe.
Jamie Conlan, a former pro and now head of Conlan Boxing, said he had no hesitation in joining the Florida-based chain.
“I have been very aware of ProBox TV for some time,” Conlan said. “Their fortnightly midweek boxing matches continue to impress me, with action-packed fights against large names. So I had to listen to Garry’s vision for bringing the ProBox TV model to the UK/Ireland and wider Europe, which is where I jumped into. Consistent competitive fights that gave fans value for money, sign up.”
It will start on Friday, November 1
“Starting in Belfast with Pody McCrory, a full-on shootout with Leonard Carrillo and Robbie Davies Jnr-Javier Fortuna in a real 50/50 crossroads fight, undefeated former Olympian Kurt Walker becomes the toughest test of his career against Rudy Garcia and a rematch of the Irish fight of the year in Rudy Farrell vs. Conor Kerr, it’s a great way to start the series in Belfast.
“Then it’s off to Waterford in December with an intriguing All-Ireland romance between Dylan Moran and Tyrone McKenna.”
Conlan said there are plans for a “heated and ponderous move next year” and the recent partnership will target monthly performances, creating a “steady stream of competitive fights that everyone will appreciate.”
For those looking to tune in for the broadcast on November 1, the ProBox TV app is available in all app stores as well as on Intelligent TVs, Apple TV, Fire TV and Roku – and it’s free. More details can be found at probotv.com.
Bill Haney took to social media today to inform promoter Oscar De La Hoya that his son Devin Haney’s lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia “is still lively.”
Haney (31-0, 15 KO) is suing Ryan for violating doping rules during the April 20 fight, during which Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.
Haney, 25, has not said what his career plans are or whether he will ever fight again. If this is Devin’s focus and hopes that his lawsuit will succeed, he may be disappointed if it fails. By now, former two-division world champion Haney should have signaled whether he will resume fighting.
Some fans have the impression that he has given up and is going to hang up his gloves. He took a vicious punch from Ryan (24-1, 20 KO) and went down several times over the 12 rounds in which he lost by decision.
According to Garcia, a rematch is no longer an option. He wants nothing to do with Haney because of his lawsuit.
“Oscar z [Hoya] everyone left. Gennadiy Golovkin sued you and Ryan Garcia threatened to sue you. I don’t have to sit down with you about anything,” Bill Haney said on social media, reacting to Oscar De La Hoya’s words on X that he would support the Haneys understand their contract to fight Ryan Garcia last April.
“I see you tweet a lot but you don’t say anything. Maybe you’re correcting somewhere. The lawsuit remains in effect,” Bill said.
If Haney continues his career, he will have to try to make up for the loss at 147 pounds. This will be tough for him because it is a tough division for fighters who lack power and a sturdy chin. Haney may be the equivalent of fish food at welterweight and won’t last long in that weight class.
Enough. Every player who cooperated with Golden Boy always received exactly what he was entitled to and received all the documents to which he was entitled. Period. Any suggestion to the contrary is simply false. If the Haneys are still having trouble understanding their…
