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.

Two scores of 9-91 and the third of 98-92 ensured the victory for the hosts.

In the middleweight division, Austin Deanda (16-0, 10 KO) won on points over DeAundre Pettus (12-3, 7 KO), winning on points 78-74 and 77-75×2.

Kelvin Davis (14-0, 7 KO) was the next point scorer, knocking down Yeis Gabriel Solano (15-4, KO10) in the final seconds to secure victory by scores of 80-71 and 79-72×2 in the welterweight division.

The only fighter to compete in six rounds was in the super featherweight division, where Robert Meriwether III (8-0, 3 KO) defeated Eric Howard (6-3, 1 KO), and the only four-round fight was in the super welterweight division, and Rookie Keon Davis (1-0) won on the cards over Jalen Moore (1-2, 1 KO).

Jake Paul bet his entire £31million purse on the outcome of the Mike Tyson fight

Published

on

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has placed his entire $40 million (£31 million) bet on the outcome of his upcoming fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson. The fight, which will take place next Friday in Dallas, will be Tyson’s first professional fight in almost two decades.

Considering he is 31 years younger than the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Paul is the bookmakers’ favorite to win. During the pre-main event bout, Paul accepted bets from several undercard fighters, including Neeraj Goyat, who bet his $1 million house.

Katie Taylor, who is ready for a rematch with Amanda Serrano, went a step further. When Paul asked her how much she wanted to bet, Taylor replied, “Do you want to bet your wallet?” Without hesitation, Paul agreed, saying, “Yes, let’s put the bag down. Deal” and shook Taylor’s hand.

While many doubt whether the bets will hold, Paul insists that contracts will be signed before Friday evening. Earlier this year, Paul bragged about his earnings from his 12th professional fight.

When asked if he brought Tyson in to “legitimize” his boxing career, Paul replied: “I didn’t bring him in for any shit; “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend I don’t want.” don’t worry about anything else, he wanted it to be a professional fight and he really will get knocked out.”

Paul doesn’t hold back before fighting the legendary Tyson, boasting to reporters: “You’ll see in his record: Jake Paul knocks out Mike Tyson; I’m not here to do shit except make a bag. Every time fighters sit across from me and watch ‘YouTuber this, Disney kid that’ and they end up on the canvas… this will be no different. I offered this deal to this ancient bastard he signed with Netflix and we brought him the deal, you’re welcome my son.

Meanwhile, Tyson made the pre-fight farce clear during his latest press conference, giving terse answers and showing perceptible irritation when asked about a possible loss to Paul. “I said everything I had to say,” Tyson declared, quickly trying to deflect further questions.

But not to be silenced, he assured firmly, “I’m not going to lose.” When pressed again, his patience wore slim as he repeated, “Did you hear what I said?” In a edged response, Paul joked: “That’s cute. I’m not afraid of any man, so I want him to be wild ancient Mike.

Tony Bellew sent off as Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press conference descends into chaos

Published

on

Former world champion Tony Bellew was kicked out of Mike Tyson’s press conference with Jake Paul after he went on a tirade against the YouTuber. Bellew is in Texas for Tyson’s heavyweight clash with Paul on Friday and interrupted the press conference to criticize Paul.

However, the stunt backfired when Bellew’s microphone failed and no one could hear the former cruiserweight champion. He was then awkwardly escorted out of the room by security as a confused Paul looked on.

Bellew has consistently criticized Paul, who has built a boxing career since his professional debut in 2020. In his 12th professional fight, he will face 58-year-old Tyson, and his only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.

Earlier this week, Bellew criticized Paul for the Tyson fight. He said The best books about sports Offsore: “Mike Tyson is a grandfather.

“He is 58 years vintage. He’s approaching 60 and fighting a man who’s not even half his age. Disney Boy is attacking grandparents right now. It’s really scary. We might as well go to the nursing home and start digging out some of them.”

“If Mike shows up and puts his right hand on him, he will fall asleep. So who should he fight? 70 years vintage? If he wins, will he continue to play like this as he gets older? Is he going to come down? Will he face a real boxer?”

Despite a break from Bellew, Tyson remained largely hushed just two days before returning to the ring. The boxing legend last fought four years ago when he and Roy Jones Jr ended in a dull draw after eight rounds.

However, Paul had doubts whether Tyson would keep his promise and knock out the social media sensation. “He says he’s going to kill me, doesn’t he? I want this killer, I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out.”

Asked if Tyson had called him a “fabricated killer”, Paul replied: “Whatever you want to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon in the world being produced is nuclear weapons.

“Someone is put to sleep, it will be a war. We’re both weighty hitters and it doesn’t go the distance.

Mike Tyson is giving a guarantee to fans considering watching him fight Jake Paul

Published

on

Mike Tyson made a basic promise to fans who are considering watching his fight against Jake Paul, stating, “You won’t be disappointed.”

The former “Baddest Man on the Planet” will face the YouTuber-turned-boxer, who has a record of 10-1, in a controversial fight next Friday (November 15) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The match was originally scheduled for earlier this year, but was postponed after Tyson suffered a flare-up of ulcers during a flight. Despite the delay, fans curious about how the two will fare given their 31-year age difference will finally get answers later this week, with the fight streaming live on Netflix.

While not everyone supports the idea, Tyson assured fans in his final message of the day at the end of open training: “Join us on November 15. You won’t be disappointed.”

Tyson prepared rigorously for the fight and during some open training sessions he showed that he still had considerable strength. However, his choreographed power punch patterns revealed little in terms of the speed and endurance he would likely need to defeat a much younger opponent.

Nevertheless, Tyson insisted he learned: “That I’m tougher than I thought. Because really, when I agreed to this fight and started training, I said, ‘What the hell am I thinking? ‘” “And now I’ve finished the process and the fight is a party. All the difficult work has been done.”

Paul is brimming with confidence ahead of his fight against an opponent who is over thirty years his senior. The 27-year-old boxer expressed his excitement.

He said: “I’m just ecstatic to be here. I’m so grateful for all the fans who show up and Dallas is going to be an amazing night on Friday. I’m just having fun doing my thing. I feel really good. Pointed, sturdy, explosive. It’s going to be a brief night for Mike.

He added: “It’s not how long you do something, it’s how well you do it. On Friday night, people will see me sending a message to someone who has been doing this their whole life.

“On Friday my dream comes true and my career begins. This is the beginning of an amazing journey. It doesn’t matter what I’ve done so far – my career starts on Friday night.”
