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.

Tim Bradley claims Shakur Stevenson is giving the wrong impression by remaining hushed after Devin Haney agreed to a 144-pound catchweight fight that Stevenson had publicly requested for a fight between the two.

Former two-division world champion Bradley expressed his frustration, arguing that Haney made the concession Shakur wanted only for talks to seemingly stall.

“I was OK at 144. I was OK,” Bradley said on the Into The Storm podcast. “I say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a meeting in the middle.'” Haney immediately admitted to 144, bro. That’s what you said.

“And then you disappear. You disappear. MIA. You hear crickets. Where are you? He’s trying to pick a damn fight.”

“Remember how I said you would take the throne? No, you won’t.

“I don’t think you’ll take the throne, brother. The way you move tells me so, brother. It tells me everything I need to know.”

“There’s too much going on, dog. Really.”

Bradley’s criticism comes as Haney faces pressure to resolve his WBO welterweight title situation. The sanctioning body had previously ordered Haney to defend against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, leaving a constrained time to finalize the Shakur fight before the mandatory defense deadline.

Bradley also suggested that Haney is now the fighter pushing the hardest to make the fight happen.

“Haney Wants You” Bradley said. “Haney looks like a gigantic dog now.”

Earlier this month, Haney publicly agreed to face Shakur at the 144-pound catchweight division after the undefeated WBC lightweight champion indicated that one of his concerns was fighting at the full welterweight limit.

If the Haney-Shakur fight is not finalized, Haney may be forced to fulfill his WBO mandatory obligation to fight Keyshawn Davis at the end of the summer.

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.
