Tommy Fury silences Jake Paul, deals first career defeat

Jake Paul finally found himself a stronger opponent in Tommy Fury as the latter gave the former his first-ever loss in boxing.

The fight was scored 75-74 for Paul, 76-73 for Fury, and 76-73 for Fury for a split decision victory at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia.

“Tonight I made my own legacy, I made my own legacy.”

“For the past this is all that has consumed my life! Everybody thought I was running scared but tonight I make my own legacy! This was for you Bambi I love you!” The younger brother of heavyweight king Tyson Fury said in the post-fight interview.

Present in the much-awaited fight aside from Tommy’s older brother Tyson were Mike Tyson and Christiano Ronaldo.

But despite the win, Tyson Fury loses a bet as he predicted a Tommy knockout victory over Paul.

The WBC heavyweight champ lost 100,000 euros.

However, the built rivalry will not end yet as shortly after the fight, both fighters agreed for a rematch.

Paul acknowledged in the run-up to the bout that his contract has a rematch clause for a subsequent fight later this year. Paul and Fury both expressed excitement about the possibility of a rematch after the fight, which would happen before the end of 2023.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
