David Price did not publish it for likes. He did not push him into a promotional roll. He just quietly reminded of the boxing world of something brutal: the most terrible blow before which he stood in front of him is barely remembered – and barely alive.
“I used to pair a Russian named Denis Boytv in Germany” Price said Daily Star Sport. “He only hit the top of his head, but he was a powerful puncher.”
That’s all it took. This is not correct. Not pristine, upper. Only the shot looking at the crown – and Price, who took the blows of the heaviest division hitters, I still can’t forget about it. This says everything.
Let’s not grab this sugar. Price career has turned into a main roll for the growth of other people. He was flattened with names plastered by belts, posters and Denze offers. But the man who left the deepest sign was none of them.
It was BOYTSOV.
And you can barely hear his name.
He was 36-1. He had impetus. He had his hands. He was set to a shot in the world championship title. Then he disappeared. In May 2015, he was found unconscious between two railway stations in Berlin. Broken skull. Swollen brain. Medically induced coma. Seven weeks.
They said it was an “accident”.
The police in Berlin had Gald to call it an “accident”. Meanwhile, her own side of BOTSOV stated that she was associated with years of threats. His wife called this revenge of MOB.
Price had no words: “He was absolutely destroyed by the gang of Russian guys and went to death. He couldn’t fight again.”
And he never did it.
Bokytova dropped over 30 kilograms in the hospital. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t walk. Initially treated in Berlin, he was later transferred to the Rehabilitation Clinic in Hamburg. In August 2021, Bokytsov was transferred to his hometown of Russia for further care. . It is still under 24-hour care, unable to speak and still requires aid in everyday classes.
Sport has been developing all the time – it did not exist that it never existed.
Hype went into safer hands. The belts went to ticket sellers. The world has never seen what BOYTSOV would be. He was buried in a system that never wanted him near the title.
No return history. No redemption arc. Nobody cries in the microphone about how he “overcame adversity.” He just disappeared.
And next time someone will start to exchange, who hit the most complex – this, this wilder, then, remember who David Price named.
They were not a poster boys. It was the one who never got his shot.
Conor Benn could be ready for a world title fight against Ryan Garcia, but there is one reigning world champion who claims the Briton recently pulled out of a title shot even though “the whole deal has already been done.”
Benn made his Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month. defeating Regis Prograis in a 150-pound catchweight bout – his first fight at sub-154 pounds in four years – and now he looks ready to fight for world titles at welterweight.
Although his position as mandatory challenger for the WBC title put him in line to face Garcia, WBA 147-pound champion Rolando Romero claimed that Benn had withdrawn from the title fight.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Rolly” explained why he doubted the Garcia fight would happen and revealed that he expected to fight Benn until “The Destroyer” changed his mind.
“Conor Benn waived me, we had the whole deal done, we were supposed to fight on May 30 in Fresh York for my world title, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere.
Conor Benn was there begging to fight me. By the way, we already had everything planned, but he’s in Fresh York trying to create all this fuss and stuff – he did it for advantage. Same with this, he can do this with Ryan too to gain strength.
“They’re out there trying to do all this stuff, I don’t do this imitation beef. That throws me off, you go and do all this imitation beef and then you come here and act like a gigantic, tough guy and then you run away and don’t fight.”
“Maybe he was doing it with Ryan because Ryan would have knocked him out cool.”
Garcia and Benn could collide this summer in Las Vegas when Benn returns to the welterweight division in a direct world title fight.
Charlo then launched into a longer explanation, questioning what version of Spence would emerge after his years outside the ring and claiming that style favored Tszyu.
“He has little defense. Errol will come in softly. He doesn’t really move his head. Tim moves his head. He throws a few stone hay shots. “I just follow my fighting style and be realistic.”
Jermell looked like a war veteran and described the fight, giving reasons why he chose Tszyu to beat Spence.
For years, these two towers were the “Twin Towers” of Derrick James’ gym in Dallas. They shared celebrations, sweat and secrets. The problem is that Errol was very vocal about these sessions, essentially telling the world that he was “teaching” Jermell.
For a guy like Charlo, who carries enormous pride and has built his “Lions Only” brand on being the alpha, having a former teammate claim dominance over him is a stain he can’t wash off in a sanctioned fight.
Having never fought professionally, these gym stories are the only narrative that exists and you have to wonder if it’s still eating at him.
Charlo also indicated the location, with the fight expected to take place in Australia.
“He’s going to Australia there. I see Tim Tszyu winning that fight,” Jermell said.
X is having a field day because Charlo looks like a man who sat in a dim room and watched Spence’s training videos over and over again. Fans call this the “villain arc” energy. He spoke quickly, louder and louder, and seemed personally interested in the answer.
During the prophecy, Jermell had a diabolical look in his eyes, as if he were performing a technical exorcism on his elderly rival.
When he has such wide eyes and high energy intensity, he tends to rely on his “Only Lions” personality, which thrives on perceived disrespect. In this case, the disrespect is the years in which Errol Spence Jr. he claimed to be the “substantial brother” at the gym.
“I don’t have to fight Errol Spence and I don’t care about fighting Errol Spence,” Jermell said.
Jermell is essentially using Tim Tszyu as a proxy. Since Charlo hasn’t fought at 154 pounds since 2022, he needs Spence to lose to someone else to prove that the elderly era (the Derrick James era) is over. If Tszyu destroys Spence, it will validate Charlo’s technical criticism and make his inactivity look like a calculated move rather than a decline.

Britain has produced some great heavyweights in recent years, ending an almost century-long curse and seeing success in the division ever since. Predicting the outcome of the clash between two of the best fighters in the country, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury, Roy Jones Jr said it would be a “great fight”.
Bob Fitzsimmons became the first British world heavyweight champion in 1897, and he and Jones remain the only two fighters in boxing history to have won both middleweight and heavyweight world titles.
However, Great Britain struggled for success in the division after the Fitzsimmons fight, unable to claim heavyweight supremacy until Lennox Lewis became WBC world champion in 1992. Britain has since crowned its title 11th world heavyweight championFabio Wardley, who follows in the footsteps of Fury and Anthony Joshua.
In an interview with Grosvenor CasinoJones said he would give Lewis an advantage over the “Gypsy King” if they met in their prime.
“Tyson Fury vs. Lennox Lewis? That would be a great fight, but my first thought was Lennox Lewis because of his power. But my second thought was also that Tyson Fury was great at making adjustments. I would go with Lennox Lewis.”
At least one heavyweight world title is expected to remain in a Briton’s hands for some time, with Daniel Dubois scheduled to face another Briton, Fabio Wardley, for the WBO belt next month.
In the meantime, we hope 21-year-old Moses Itauma can continue Britain’s success for many years to come, with the youngster considered by many to be the hottest prospect in boxing.
As for Fury, he is focused on the UK-wide megafight with Joshua – their own ‘Battle of Britain’ after Lennox fought Frank Bruno in 1993.
