Outside of his boxing career, Lyndon Arthur has developed a significant presence on social media, creating entertaining and relatable videos that consistently receive thousands of views.

In the boxing world, “King Arthur” is little known for his engaging personality. He has often been accused of looking “moody” – especially during fight week, when the delicate heavyweight is intensely focused on making weight.

The reality, however, is that Arthur likes to laugh and joke like anyone else, which is why he became a comedian on social media under the pseudonym “some1got2said‘.

Wearing a cap with his own “some1zgot2sayit” logo embroidered on the front, the 34-year-old explained to Boxing News how it came about.

“Apparently no one knew I was humorous. I’m hilarious!”

“I made a video about buying my son some [overpriced] shorts and it just went viral. So I thought, “Okay, people like me talk.”

“I never spoke and was always a bit reserved, but being in front of the camera showed me a different side.

“I think people think I’m more approachable now. In boxing I’m known as laid back and moody. But now people have seen a different side of me and they’re like, ‘Your side is humorous; keep doing what you’re doing.”

The fact that Arthur is now much more approachable and generally less “moody” can be partly explained by his relationship with the dietitian.

This came before his trilogy with Anthony Yard in April 2025, when the Mancunian lost a unanimous decision on the scorecards but arguably produced one of his best career performances.

Also in his last match against Brad Rei, Arthur had a lively performance over 12 rounds to secure a majority victory in November.

So working with a dietitian improved not only his overall mood, but also his performance, which can largely be explained by his less strenuous attempt to reach 75 pounds.

“I was previously lifting weights myself, running six miles every day for two weeks before the fight.

“Now I hardly run at all during fight week. If I could advise any fighter, it would be to seek support from a dietitian and gain weight properly.”

Perhaps it was this change in preparation that gave Arthur a boost in his last fight, allowing him to overcome a second-round knockout against Rhea.

After sparring with the 28-year-old a few years ago, Arthur admits he may have slightly underestimated his opponent, but ultimately showed enough boxing knowledge to prevail.

“Honestly, Brad Rea shocked me. He said in the press conference that I still saw him as a skinny, ginger kid, and in some ways I did, but he went in there, showed heart and was able to beat me.

“Fair play to him – he hit some of my best shots – but I think I definitely showed there’s still a little bit left in me.”

After defeating Rei, Arthur was initially told he would face Liam Cameron – who he had previously overtaken – on May 9, but was then offered an alternative domestic fight against Lewis Edmondson, who he will face at the event Saturday at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.

Beyond that, the former European champion is not entirely sure what opportunities will arise, but ultimately sees himself involved in further All-British fixtures.

“I’m sure boxing will let me know [when it’s time to retire]. I hope it doesn’t happen in the ring, but I’m sure someone will tell me when to stop getting punched in the head.

“But I feel fresh. I’m not slacking off in the gym, I’m not slowing down. Five weeks ago I was doing 10- and 12-round sparring because I thought I was preparing for May 9, so I feel like I still have a few years left.”

As he prepares to face Edmondson, Arthur is acutely aware of the ticking clock. However, he seems to be more dedicated to his craft than ever before.

Frank Warren has shared his reaction after Tyson Fury revealed a “gigantic announcement” with Dana White is imminent.

Warren spent several years as Fury’s promoter, helping guide him back to the world heavyweight title during an epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder, before defending the title in UK stadium fights against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora.

Fury’s last few fights have been facilitated by Turki Alalshikh, and that will be the case again this year when “The Gypsy King” faces his long-awaited clash with compatriot Anthony Joshua.

A fresh twist emerged this week when Fury appeared at a UFC White House event and teased a potential deal with Zuffa Boxing boss White, even though Eddie Hearn claimed the contract for the Joshua fight stipulated that White could not promote the fight.

This was also reported recently that Las Vegas is the current favorite to host the fight, sparking anger among British fight fans.

Warren has now I talked to TalkSport about all the recent drama, emphasizing that he is still linked to Fury and that nothing has been decided yet as to where the fight will take place.

“Tyson has not signed a contract with anyone. I have a contract with him at the moment, which I am very ecstatic with, and our business relationship has been very good and continues to be good. I have no problems.

“The promoter of the last few fights was: [Turki]that’s where the money to promote the programs came from, nothing has changed. Life goes on as normal.

“We don’t know yet [where it will be]. Nothing has been decided yet. It would be great to be in the UK, there are two Brits where there should be.

Before their clash later in the year, Joshua must first defeat Kristian Prenga in July, while Fury is also scheduled to fight in August, with details of that fight expected to be released soon.

Last weekend I attended a fight event in my hometown of Waterbury, Connecticut. For the first time in about 50 years, a fight card appeared in the city. Willie Pep once fought there in front of 20,000 people, but those days are apparently long gone. However, those who thought it would be foolish to bring boxing back to society found out that they were very wrong. More than a thousand spectators gathered at the Palace Theater in the city center to watch local fighter Michael Kimbel try to climb the ladder. The main event was a thriller. As do most of the cards leading up to this.

Kimbel knocked down his fighter in the first round. However, his opponent, the very competitive Edgar De Leon, came back and knocked down Kimbel. Not once, but twice. The staggered Kimbel was barely able to hold himself up. But the thing is, he actually stuck to it. After surviving the round, he took control of the fight and basically beat the crap out of destitute De Leon. The fight was stopped a few seconds before the end of the eighth and final round. No one argued that the referee made the wrong decision. De Leon’s face felt like a punching bag and there was no need for him to take further damage at this point.

After the fight ended, the crowd in Waterbury, long known to be a crafty place, erupted in celebration. Indeed, it was a wild night of boxing, with relatives trying to jump into the ring and fans shouting four-letter obscenities for a full three minutes of each round. Unfortunately, some people brought their children there. Quick Tip… Don’t take your kids to a boxing match until they’re senior enough to handle nuclear bombs and the effects of solemn alcohol consumption. After the season ticket expired, one of the theater employees, who was used to musicals, concerts and other performances, decided that now that he had taken up boxing, he needed a drink.

Point well made. Here’s the thing though… The little fight cards are fun. Adult oriented but fun. Yes, there are people who make drunk fools of themselves. Yes, there are people who can’t lend a hand but scream as if they know anything they’re talking about, but it’s still a great feeling to have as many as 2,000 people screaming their approval and really engaging with the action taking place in front of them. What’s more, it’s great for the players involved. Fight critics don’t understand that fight fans love watching fighters win even more than they love watching them lose. That’s quite a distinction. When you fight at the local level, there is a sense of community.

There will undoubtedly be a sense of community in Atlantic City on Saturday night as Boxing Insider Promotions presents another of its popular live cards. The key to such events is not to show the stars of the day, but to show the rising stars of tomorrow. These people are hungry and want to impress. This makes for a good viewing experience, especially when a fan watches the entire broadcast live and in person. The truth is that boxing needs more of this type of thing. Players need to be seen growing in front of an audience. Petite cards like Saturday’s turn out to be a testing ground for future talents.

It’s great to be able to say that you knew a popular player even though no one knew who he or she was. There is a sense of community for viewers who have been there from the beginning. This is all worth the attention of boxing fans.
