Keyshawn Davis continued his path toward a maiden world title shot, defeating tough Argentine Gustavo Lemos in the second round on Friday at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.

Lemos dared over six pounds over the lightweight limitand was even heavier on fight night, but it didn’t matter as Davis secured the absolute victory.

Davis (12-0, 8 KO) had previously been steadily climbing to the world level, and in 2024 he scored an impressive sixth-round stoppage victory over Jose Pedraza and a wide points victory over Miguel Madueno in July.

Lemos (29-2, 19 KO) was expected to give the 25-year-old a chance to win after suffering only a defeat in his last outing, which gave Richardson Hitchins a very good argument and ultimately lost by close decision.

The guy tried to take advantage of this extra weight, trying to rain down punches on the “Businessman” in the first round, but Davis used his speed and accuracy to destroy him.

The home favorite then broke free in the second, landing a left hook that caused a quick knockdown, and on the restart, Lemos went down again, with a left hook once again doing the damage.

The writing was on the wall and Davis immediately shut down the show, landing combinations and then a acute right hand to the head that pinned the 28-year-old to the canvas for the third time and the contest was over.

Davis’ victory maintains his high ranking in three of the four governing bodies, and the Norfolk native has drafted both WBO champion Denys Berinchyk and WBA champion Gervonta Davis.

“I honestly thought Lemos would put up a stronger challenge than Berinchyk,” he said ESPN after the fight.

“But I knocked him out in the second round.

“So we will see what Berinchyk will present.

“But next year, hey, Norfolk, next year you’ll have the world champion, how about that?

“Hey Gervonta, knock, knock.”

Mason is terrified of Vasquez

The highly touted Abdullah Mason endured a real scare before stopping Yohan Vasquez in the second round in a lightweight thriller.

Mason (16-0, 14 KO) was down twice in the first round, between scoring his own knockdown, and in the second round he rallied and sealed the victory, landing a series of complex combinations ending with a body shot that made Vasquez (26-6, 21 KO) was unable to defeat the count.

Aleem returns to winning ways

Ra’eese Aleem (21-1, 12 KO) bounced back from his first professional defeat by defeating Derlyn Hernandez-Gerarldo (12-3-1, 10 KO) in the fifth round of a scheduled ten featherweight division before winning every available session in all three scorecards.

Isley dismisses Howard

Troy Isley (14-0, 5 KO) also scored in the second ten round, recording a middleweight victory over Tyler Howard (20-2, 11 KO) on the scorecards.

“I know he has it in him.

“I would love to be in the gym with him.

Promoter of the 35-year-old, Eddie Hearn does not rule out a second fight with Dubois, but admits that his player will wait for the result of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, which will take place on December 21, before deciding on his next move.

“AJ” has already lost twice to Usyk, but the long-awaited, all-British clash with Fury has not yet taken place.

“But I don’t think he should go anywhere else but to fight Dubois.”

Dubois is scheduled to defend his title on February 22, but remains without an opponent, although he has been heavily linked to both Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

The Londoner offered Jake Paul the shocking opportunity to meet him following his victory over Mike Tyson last Friday in Texas, after which Paul posted a DM from the heavyweight champion.

“Hi Jake, good business this weekend,” Dubois said to Paul.

“But how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world.

“This is Daniel Dubois calling you.

“Let’s get on with it.”

Carl Froch questions belief in a flat Earth and claims the Moon landing was faked by NASA

Published

Carl Froch, one of the greatest British boxers of his generation, has explained why he believes the Earth is flat and not round. The 47-year-old is also convinced that no one has actually ever been to the Moon, accusing NASA of faking the landings.

It is generally accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface in 1969. Froch, however, came to a very different conclusion after reviewing “all the footage” and looking at what he saw. claims to be “evidence.”

“The equipment they used to get there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful,” he said. Action network.

“When I was a kid, it was the computer. Now we can’t get there and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing [is made up].

“When you look at all the evidence, all the footage and the fact that they lost all the telemetry that tells you they went to the moon, I would say we didn’t go to the moon.

“Man has not walked on the moon. It was a substantial fucking lie.”

Froch added: “Every image we have seen of planet Earth is a CGI image. So when I see the picture of the world as a whole, I will start to believe in heliocentrism – helio is the sun, the centric being at the center.

“I don’t believe a lot of the things that tell me about the heliocentric model, that the sun is in the middle and that we orbit around it, the Massive Bang theory, which is a theory, and the theory of evolution, which we come from apes.”

Froch also discussed his belief that the Earth is flat, not round, having openly admitted to believing in the conspiracy theory in the past.

When asked to explain his views, he explained: “When you talk about a flat Earth, it gets banned and restricted. They don’t like this chat and that’s where things get captivating. Why can’t I say that the heliocentric model is unreliable?

“The speed of featherlight around the Earth takes three seconds. Planet Earth has approximately 24,000 [miles] in circumference, so if you travel at the speed of featherlight, imagine how far you will go in an hour.

Froch initially raised eyebrows in 2019 when he claimed the Earth was flat, adding that he would only believe it was round if he were taken into space to see for himself.

People wondered if the Nottingham resident had simply made a mistake, but during an appearance on The Telegraph he confirmed that his beliefs were earnest. Macklin’s take podcast.

When host Matthew Macklin questioned his views, Froch responded: “That’s the problem. I have tried to prove, and I challenge anyone listening to this, to prove that the Earth is spherical. Prove that it is round. Prove that it is in fact a globe.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson officially suspended after controversial fight

Published

on

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) following their highly anticipated fight. Following the Arlington fight, the pair received a mandatory minimum suspension period, which in this case is 24 days.

TDLR rules state that each fighter must rest for at least three days in each round fought. Because the YouTuber-turned-boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, he will be suspended for 24 days, according to the website MMA enthusiast.

Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also face bans. Their fight was very close and Taylor won by unanimous decision, as a result of which both stars were sidelined for over a month with a 45-day suspension.

Even though the Serrano-Taylor fight showed incredible determination and strength, the Paul-Tyson main event seemed to lack the same intensity. After the first attack, the 58-year-old Tyson appeared to tire quickly, allowing Paul to take advantage of his opponent’s waning stamina.

After eight rounds of uninspiring boxing, the 27-year-old was declared the winner by unanimous decision, with Paul paying tribute to Tyson in the closing moments of the final round. In a speech to fans after the fight, Paul apologized for not knocking out Tyson, even though he had previously promised to do so.

“I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” Paul said as his entourage nodded in agreement that he chose the honorable route by not beating the 58-year-old icon. He admitted to holding back his punches when he noticed Tyson weakening as the fight progressed.

“After I saw he was tired, I didn’t want to hurt him too much, but I wanted the fans to experience a good experience,” he added. Paul also mentioned that the Tyson fight felt “different” from his previous fights, emphasizing that a more composed attitude allowed him to anticipate Tyson’s moves and prepare more effectively.

“Fighting in the stadium is less personal and less deafening, so it’s less stressful on the nerves,” he noted. “Arenas are harder to fight in. Come out, I was serene, serene and collected.

“In the first round I timed his speed and managed to get his time quite quickly and saw how I could mark him and touch him. The rest was history, I just boxed him and had fun.”

With Paul’s status as a boxing headliner at one point confirmed by over 100 million viewers, the teenage fighter feels he has earned the right to fight some of the biggest names in the sport. As such, Paul is confident that with his victory over Tyson, he can become a champion within the next few years.

“I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I really, really believe in my skills, abilities and power. And the cruiserweight division is apparently open to admission on this date,” he stated.
