I don’t give a damn who it is. Così, as I predicted Tommy Fumbles and Tyron is there to pick it up, stepping in, and contractually he is getting an extra $500,000 if he knocks me out. First time I outboxed him. This time I’m gonna punish him and leave no doubt.”
Il primo agosto 29, in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,000 fans at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, Paul registered a split decision over Woodley.

NEW YORK(Agosto 6, 2021) – British heavyweight sensationDaniel “Dynamite” Duboisbeamed with excitement during an open training session for his showdown against veteranJuiseppe Angelo Cusumano, which will be featuredon the undercard of the Jake Paul contro. Tyron WoodleySHOWTIME PPV fight card on Sunday, Agosto 29 (8 p.m. ET / 5 pm. PT) from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to put on an explosive performance in front of the U.S. audience and show them who the future heavyweight champion of the world is going to be,” said Dubois.
Dubois (16-1, 15 KO) is preparing for his U.S. debut under the tutelage of trainer Shane McGuigan out of McGuigan’s Gym in London. Since turning professional in 2017, the London-born star has only fought in the United Kingdom but has long desired fighting across the pond.
“This really is a fight with two purposes,” continued Dubois. “It is not just the fight, it is about the crowd and I have always dreamt of fighting in America, but this will be a different sort of crowd with a different atmosphere as well. I am going to take it in and experience all they have got out there.
“Naturalmente, it will be all new to me, with a new young crowd and a new environment. I want to just go out there and perform well. Fighting on SHOWTIME will be special too, the big channel in the U.S., putting on the big shows.”
The 23-year-old has a near-perfect knockout percentage with 15 knockouts in his short pro career. His lone decision was a dominating performance over former world title challenger Kevin Johnson in 2018. Dubois has dispatched four undefeated fighters as he has risen the ranks, including an impressive first-round knockout against then unbeaten Ebenezer Tetteh in September 2019. His last three knockout victories have all come in the second round against difficult challengers Kyotaro Fujimoto, Ricardo Snijders and Bogdan Dinu. Dubois’ knockout performance against Dinu in June remains one of the most sensational finishes in the heavyweight division in 2021.
“It will be important for me to be explosive as I usually am, but I am not going to overthink it,” added Dubois. “It is just part of what I do and to be the best me, I go in there and knock them out. That has always been my approach.”
The WBA No. 1 ranked heavyweight, Dubois will take the next step toward a world title shot as he takes on the veteran challenger Cusumano, who hails from Danville, Virginia. Cusumano is coming off a sixth-round knockout win over Gregory Corbin in November 2020.
“This represents a wonderful opportunity for Daniel to increase his recognition in the United States,” said International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. “I believe Daniel is the best young heavyweight in world boxing and another knockout for Daniel moves him closer to a huge fight for the WBA world title held by Trevor Bryan. This is a tremendous opportunity and I’m delighted to deliver it to him so early in his career.”
Dubois will continue to train in London alongside undefeated WBO cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie, who has served as a chief sparring partner during preparations for Cusumano. The heavyweight contender will wrap up training in two weeks before departing for Cleveland to defend his WBA Interim title.
“I am ready now to push on and build on the WBA Interim title I won in my last fight,” said Dubois. “I am thrilled to take the show on the road and look to win the American public over. I am told the American public loves heavyweight boxing, so it is time to introduce them to Daniel Dubois.
“I will make sure it is a name they won’t forget in a hurry,” concluded the six-foot, five-inch contender.

MIAMI(Giugno 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paulfaced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5thStreet Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.
Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:
JAKE PAUL
“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.
“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. Stai guardando il futuro della boxe.
“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. Questa è la boxe. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.
“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. I get better in sparring so I haven’t even been able to warm up and I’m excited to show my ability if he can make it out of the first round.
“I’ve predicted every single one of my fights. I said Ben Askren, primo giro. I said Nate Robinson, primo giro. He got to the second. I said in my first pro fight, primo giro. I don’t think Tyron will make it out of two rounds. You might not even get to see my boxing abilities in this fight to be honest.”
TYRON WOODLEY
“I’ve always wanted to box my whole life but never did it. This is my opportunity. This is a kid that’s a power-puncher. He’s got a lot of strength behind him. This is going to be a big platform to showcase what I can do in a boxing ring. And he’s a fighter. Egli può combattere. Alla fine della giornata, you can watch him and the timing, the rhythm and the footwork is there.
“He hasn’t fought very long. But the little action that I have seen was clean. Good defense. Nate was rushing him, he protected himself and he came out of his shell and cracked him.
“He’s trying to downplay his ability. He’s a fighter. Don’t let him play you by saying, ‘I’m just a YouTuber.’ Last week, he was a fighter. When he was saying nobody wanted to fight him, he was a fighter. You’re not a YouTuber anymore. You’re not on Disney. It’s been a long time since he was on Disney. That’s like me saying I’m just a collegiate wrestler and I don’t punch people.
“I just want to have fun. I want to train hard. I want to get better. I want to go out there and do things on my terms and be the one to call the shots. I want to go out there and make history. I always make history. I may not always get the credit for it but I’m always the first. Fighters always hit me up asking what they should do, what they’re doing wrong. Now it’s time for me to go do it myself.”
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the week in combat sports, recap a stacked UFC 225 carta (and CM Punk’s failure to launch his MMA career), and go over the results of a wild weekend for boxing. We begin by highlighting two high profile mentions of death in the UFC Octagon. Dana White and Tyron Woodley are both in the news this week for raising the topic. Listen to the full broadcast below:
CM Punk ha bisogno di un pareggio per farci interessati nella sua carriera. Anche se si batte la merda sempre viva fuori il prossimo ragazzo che lo alimentano in UFC Octagon, Punk avrà ancora molto da dimostrare. Mettetelo in contro Mayweather in un benvenuto a MMA incontro per il pugile di classe mondiale, e rendere la configurazione sogno per Floyd che lui tutti i vantaggi e le concessioni di sponsorizzazione dà vuole nel contratto.
Floyd sarebbe un perdente automatico che va in contro McGregor immediatamente nella gabbia. Uno sfidante come CM Punk gli dà più di una possibilità di combattere. Esso fornisce CM Punk la possibilità di lanciare veramente la sua carriera se riesce a battere Floyd.
Il fatto è, Mayweather può imparare lo sport delle arti marziali miste in fretta, e con la sua velocità e atletismo, dato opzioni più sorprendenti che potesse in realtà ci scioccare nel suo primo combattimento MMA… se davvero il backup il suo discorso di combattimenti nella gabbia con l'azione.
Durante il tour per l'incontro di pugilato, Floyd più volte fatto riferimento l'idea di combattere McGregor nella gabbia, dopo l'incontro di pugilato se ne andò. Egli non dice le cose ad alta voce che in realtà non credo siano vere o potrebbe essere vero se avesse affondato il suo sforzo in esso.
Ho avuto la fortuna di stare in piedi sul bordo del ring vicino alla Leonard Ellerbe nel corso di una sessione di allenamento Mayweather a Las Vegas anni fa.
Prima ha gettato pugni sui guanti gli ho chiesto cosa che gli piaceva di più di boxe. Non ho tentato di avvicinarsi durante la grande stampa di punta, quindi penso che non si aspettava la domanda.
Si sedette in silenzio, e non volevo che vada appeso come un cattivo peto nel vento. Ho chiesto di nuovo, ancora più forte. Non sembrava la mia strada come lui shadowboxed con se stesso. “Qualunque cosa.” ha finalmente ammesso, e poi è andato a lavorare su esporre la sua velocità e punzonatura prodezza per tutti i media a vedere.
incorporando gomiti, backfists, calci e wrestling nella sua routine di combattimento potrebbe creare un vero mostro di Mayweather. Anche, il denaro dalla boxe che lo avrebbe seguito alla gabbia potrebbe essere tremendo per lui e l'UFC simili. Ci vorrà un sacco di lavoro alla sua età di adattarsi al nuovo sport, ma CM Punk come primo avversario imposta la barra piuttosto basso con entrambi gli uomini avere la possibilità di dimostrare di appartenenza. Dare loro sia un grave campo di addestramento, fare un reality show fuori di esso, e potrebbe succedere.
“Soldi” si sta già preparando per la formazione nelle arti marziali miste con UFC Champ Tyron Woodley, e lui colmo qualche lode sia Woodley e McGregor come combattenti di recente:
Il MMA vs dibattito boxe è in corso da molto tempo prima ho deciso di fare la mia prendere su di esso con una serie di trasmissioni radiofoniche pitting un esperto contro un altro. Uno dei miei preferiti era “Iceman” John Scully contro Ken Shamrock.
Chi pensa il miglior combattente di MMA nella sua classe di peso demolisce Floyd ha mai guardato in treno. Che cosa potrebbe fare questo ragazzo con un paio di scontri tune-up e un titolo tilt? Che ne dite di 9 mesi di duro allenamento in takedown e la sottomissione della difesa?
Tutti e il loro fratello, che sa qualcosa di MMA decide di utilizzare l'argomento di tutti i pugili del passato che non sono riusciti a MMA. Ci ricordano tutto della lotta freakshow coinvolge Randy Couture facilmente sconfitto James Toney. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. non è solo su un piano diverso rispetto James Toney è stato quando ha avuto la possibilità di combattere nella gabbia, lui è su un altro pianeta.
Floyd può permettersi i migliori allenatori, il meglio di tutto in realtà nella preparazione per entrare nella UFC Octagon. Egli non badare a spese delle finanze e sudore equità nella cementando la sua eredità come il miglior combattente di crossover nella storia della boxe e MMA rivalità. Chi ha le migliori veri atleti? Mayweather sta rappresentando di migliore boxe, e lui non ha più molto tempo per dimostrare che un pugile di classe mondiale in grado di dominare la scena MMA con il giusto approccio e la strategia.
McGregor ha dimostrato che poteva dare Floyd qualche inserisce sul ring, ma il terzo incontro in un contratto UFC quella partita potrebbe accadere di nuovo nella gabbia. Floyd è solo per dimostrare che appartiene, ma il primo passo è avere il coraggio di sostenere le sue parole con le azioni. Egli ha detto durante il tour stampa di boxe per la lotta McGregor che, quando ha battuto McGregor nel suo mestiere, sarebbe andato a UFC e battere Conor nella gabbia, troppo.
Mi aspetto un “Vasca degli squali” tipo di negoziazione tra Mayweather e il presidente UFC Dana White. Floyd avrà bisogno di ottenere un pezzo di promozione per sé, l'accesso a una quantità selvaggia di sponsorizzazione in denaro, opzioni per raccogliere sul reddito dei media, e almeno $10 milioni per combattere in pay solo di base. Per ottenere il contratto da un miliardo di dollari che prevede, gli avvocati saranno aggiustando il dettagli per il tempo che Floyd decide che ha bisogno di allenarsi per il suo primo combattimento.
Floyd potrebbe facilmente incamerare $90+ milioni di sponsorizzazioni e proventi media per fare $100 milioni per combattere con i dirigenti Showtime nel suo angolo e una familiarità con l'essere davanti alle telecamere. Un contratto di cinque lotta significa che c'è una 1/2 miliardi di dollari gap a meno che non sto sottovalutando quanto l'UFC darebbe Floyd per paga base. Anche se fa $200 milioni per lotta, il resto dovrebbe venire fuori della società globale in sé come patrimonio netto, che è ciò che Conor McGregor sta chiedendo.
Floyd ha solo un rialzo più grande per essere un proprietario / socio e sarebbe una grande risorsa quando si tratta di UFC voler promuovere la boxe ad un certo punto. Egli può anche portare i suoi fan e tutti coloro che vogliono vederlo ottenere frustato e istruito nella nuova disciplina. Egli porta bulbi oculari, estrema attenzione e il denaro con sé ovunque vada. Nel corso di una $5 miliardi dollari di valutazione, UFC sarebbe probabilmente in grado di parte con una percentuale pezzo dieci della promozione per portare Mayweather ufficialmente a bordo e ottenere lo chiuse dentro per un accordo a lungo termine.
L'altra area che Floyd potrebbe avere un enorme impatto sulla IS nell'attrarre più pugili per attraversare a MMA. Abbiamo visto i giocatori di calcio come Matt Mitrione e Greg Hardy esperienza di successo praticamente immediato in MMA, quindi perché non un mondo di classe pugile come Floyd? 19-0 Pro Boxer Gervonta Davis è già alludendo al seguente il suo protetto Floyd di MMA e dice: sta solo aspettando la telefonata di Dana White. Poi vi sono i pugili pesi massimi a pensare a portare nella gabbia, e Campione Word Anthony Joshua è appassionato di dare un colpo, troppo.
Così, le probabilità sono alte che Mayweather passi nella gabbia di competere entro dicembre di quest'anno, se si ritiene uno dei suoi video più controversi fino ad oggi sul tema:
Mayweather potrebbe essere un combattente incredibile MMA se dato la metà la possibilità. Egli non è un uomo che prende una sfida come questo con leggerezza. Egli avrà il miglior approccio possibile per entrare in forma Cagefighting. Egli porterà tutti i tipi di tornare interesse per la boxe vs. il dibattito MMA e in realtà potrebbe anche ispirare una nuova fase del dibattito. Il mondo dello sport da combattimento come un tutto andrà a beneficio se Floyd e l'UFC possono fare questo lavoro di partnership.
Quanto a coloro che pensano Floyd otterrà mangiato vivo, essi sono certamente diritto alla propria opinione, ma non usare fallimento di McGregor per adattarsi alla boxe come il vostro bar per Floyd. Mayweather non assumerà un combattente di classe mondiale MMA la prima volta che passi nella gabbia. Egli non porterà nell'equivalente MMA di Paulie Malignaggi per arrivare fino a velocità sullo sport. Egli non badare a spese per ottenere la migliore preparazione possibile. Ha già dimostrando che per essere vero, portando Tyron Woodley come suo partner ufficiale di formazione. Egli prenderà parte il suo primo avversario e probabilmente non ottenere qualsiasi crepa in un titolo fino a due o tre combattimenti vanno come vuole lui.
I critici di persone che pensano di poter mostrare fino a una palestra di MMA e vengono fuori in sei settimane a livello UFC mi chiameranno pazzo, ma Floyd è davvero un atleta straordinario che può tacere i suoi detrattori, e non sta certo ringiovanendo. E 'ora o mai più per risolvere il problema di cui lo sport è veramente meglio a lavorazione il combattente ideale.
