This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

Fury (25-0, 18 Kos), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 mar gheall ar ghortú, personal problems and a doping ban.
“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Tá mé 29 bliain d'aois, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”
Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 Kos) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”
Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29ú lá breithe. Hooker, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

FNU Chomhrac Spóirt Taispeáin: Fury Faces Boxing Ban, UFC Fighters Speaking Out, Imeacht Réamhamhairc agus recaps
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss this week’s most significant fight cards, and major combat sports news. We also recap last weekend’s major combat sports events. We cover Roy Nelson’s kicking of Big John McCarthy, Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury telling drug testers to “F” as, Premier Boxing Champions and their dwindling fight cards, and the recent torrent of UFC fighters willing to voice their displeasure with the organization and the pay scale. Could it be that the Fertitta exodus has fighters less intimidated by the shadow of the family’s former mafia ties? Rich has a little soap box moment on this subject.

Hughie Fury rated #6 by WBO; Eager to conquer challenges in and out of the ring
Manchain, Lancashire, An Ríocht Aontaithe (Bealtaine 16, 2016) – Fast rising heavyweight Hughie Fury has been ranked #6 in the world by the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
Fury captured the WBO’s Intercontinental belt April 30 via 7úround technical decision over awkward Fred Kassi. At 21years old, Fury has a perfect 20-0 professional ledger and stopped ten of his opponents. During the last fifteen months, Fury’s passed multiple tough tests having outpointed noteworthy fighters in Andriy Rudenko, George Arias, Dominick Guinn and Kassi.
Ann July 9, Fury looks to shine on his biggest stage yet when he faces an opponent to be named in a ten or twelve round fight. The fight will appear on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship showdown between champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko at the Manchester Arena.
Hungry but humble, Fury is very pleased with his world ranking and plans to win the WBO world championship.
“I’m overwhelmed that the WBO has me listed in the top six in the world,” said Fury. “I’m a loyal person and will repay the WBO by winning their world title just like my cousin Tyson.”
Even with his notable success and high praise throughout the boxing world, Fury’s been battling a grueling opponent out of the ring that has prevented him from being 100 faoin gcéad.
According to Dr. Ian R. White, Fury’s suffering from acne conglobata which could result in malaise, fluctuating fevers and joint pain. The condition has to be treated aggressively with medications in order to keep his career progressing.
Thankfully, he’s responding well and things are looking up.
“I’ve been dealing with fatigue and a skin problem that caused my body to breakdown. I know people in the boxing world have taken note of this and I appreciate their concern. The good news is I have been given treatment to clear my skin once and for all. Tá mé 21 years old and am going to show the world what I’m about in the next year and hopefully there will be another world champion in the Fury family.”
Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly.

Hughie Fury added to Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko Card
Manchain, Lancashire, An Ríocht Aontaithe (Bealtaine 4, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight sensation Hughie Fury will appear in a featured bout on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship rematch between unified champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko Dé Sathairn, Iúil 9 ag an Arena Manchester.
The bout will take place in front of more than 21,000 fans and be seen by millions more around the world on various television outlets.
Widely regarded as one of the best young heavyweights on the planet, the 21-year-old Fury has an outstanding 20-0 ledger with 10 Bhuaigh ag knockout. Aibreán 30 i Londain, Fury scored a clear-cut technical decision over tricky switch hitter Fred Kassi to capture the WBO Intercontinental championshipwhen the fight was stopped early due to an accidental clash of heads. Since turning pro in March 2013, Fury’s been matched tough and defeated the likes of Andriy Rudenko, George Arias, Dominick Guinn and the aforementioned Kassi.
Having already faced quality opponents while many young heavyweights build their records against subpar opposition, Fury’s team is looking for another tough challenge Iúil 9.
“Hughie Fury is taking fights that no other heavyweights are taking,” said Peter Fury, his father and trainer. “Forget being built up on handpicked opponents, we’re facing guys that are here to win and give us a hard fight. He’s coming off of back to back tough fights. Look at his career so far compared to other prospects. An bhliain seo caite, we scored a clear win over Andriy Rudenko, a bhí 25-1 and his only defeat came via controversial decision to current heavyweight champion Lucas Browne. That will give you an idea where he’s at and I believe he’s the next force in the heavyweight division.”
Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly and the bout will be scheduled for either ten or twelve rounds.

Seaimpín Trom Nua Nua Deir Charles Martin: ‘Tiocfaidh Mo Chuid Am Soiléir!’

Curadh Trommheáchain IBF úrnua “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) chóir a bheith ar scamall a naoi.
Ina sheachtú bliain de dornálaíocht agus beagán sa tríú háit mar ghairmí, Tá Martin ar an séú cos ó dheas le craobh meáchain trom a bhuachan riamh tar éis dó TKO a scóráil 3 thar barr-iomaitheoir na hÚcráine Vyacheslav Glazkov oíche Dé Sathairn seo caite, Eanáir 16, ag Ionad Barclay i Nua Eabhrac.
Is éacht iontach é aon teideal domhanda a bhuachan nach sroicheann an chuid is mó riamh le blianta fada de dornálaíocht. Cuir leis gur thóg Martin amach an 2008 Buaiteoir bonn cré-umha Sár-mheáchain Oilimpeach le bheith ar an dara curadh trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá i rannán a athnuachan go tobann.
“Mothaíonn sé go maith,” admhaíonn Máirtín. “Bhí mé ag iarraidh é a dhéanamh go tapa. Ní raibh mé in ann fanacht,” míníonn sé faoina ardú céime tapa. “Tógann roinnt rudaí a deir siad am ach nuair a bhíonn tú i ndáiríre meáite ar rud éigin a dhéanamh, déanfaidh tú é chomh luath agus is féidir.”
Agus a áit cinnte cheana féin sna leabhair staire dornálaíochta agus roinnt imeachtaí brabúsaí féideartha ar an léaslíne, cén fáth nach é Máirtín an fear is sona ar domhan?
Ba é an bealach a bhuaigh sé.
“Tá mothú folamh agam faoi láthair,” arsa an curadh 29 bliain d'aois. “Bhí mé os comhair an oiread sin daoine agus bhí sé in am agam a bheith ag taitneamh ar Showtime agus mo scileanna a thaispeáint don domhan. Mhothaigh mé nach raibh aon chumhacht aige agus dúirt sé liom féin gur obair éasca a bheadh ann. Bhí a fhios agam go raibh oíche iontach agam. Bhí mé ag dul go dtí KO dó agus ansin bheadh grá ag gach duine dom… ach níor tharla sé mar sin.”
Stop Glazkov ag troid i mbabhta a trí mar gheall ar ACL stróicthe ar a ghlúine agus dearbhaíodh Martin mar bhuaiteoir an teidil a bhí folamh ag an am mar gheall ar TKO de bharr díobhála..
“Theastaigh uaim an crios a bhuachan mo bhealach,” lean an díomá Martin. “Bheadh sé bainte amach sa deireadh. Bhí sé ag teacht chuige. Ní bhfuair mé fiú mo chuid uachtair a úsáid air, ach tá sé go maith ar fad.”
Humble agus thar a bheith taitneamhach, D’fhan Máirtín dea-bhéasach, iar-troid agus chuir sé a chomhbhrón in iúl do Glazkov díomách. Mar sin féin, ón oíche sin, Tá Glazkov tar éis a rá go raibh “rinne Martin amach” agus gur cinnte go mbeadh an chraobh aige murar gortaíodh é.
“Ó mo bheannacht, Tá mé ag iarraidh a bheith humhal faoin scéal, ach tá sé sin craiceáilte a dúirt sé,” dúirt Máirtín. “Má cheapann sé sin i ndáiríre, tá sé ag tuisliú. Bhí rudaí ar tí dul i bhfad níos measa dó. Geallaim duit, uair amháin thosaigh sé ag moilliú, bheadh mo chomhcheangail tar éis tosú ag teacht amach. Bhí an ceann/dó á chaitheamh agam mar bhí sé ag éirí go maith as an mbealach sa chéad chúpla babhta. Bhí mé díreach ag tosú. Shíl mé go gcuirfinn sa bhosca dó ar feadh tamaill agus ansin tosú ag dul air agus a chuid putóige a fhuip. Geallaim duit go raibh mé in ann. Shábháil an díobháil sin é. Bhris sé mo chroí nach raibh mé in ann an rud a theastaigh uaim a dhéanamh. Conas a tharlaíonn sé sin? Bhí spraoi agam.”
Deir Martin go raibh an-mhaith ag a fhoireann agus a chairde agus a ghaolta a mheabhrú dó go raibh an deireadh giorraithe as a smacht. Deir sé freisin go dtógfaidh sé saoire sciobtha agus go dtiocfaidh sé ar ais ag obair ansin.
Mar sin, cad a tharlóidh don chraobh nua trom-mheáchain Mheiriceá?
“Tyson Fury nó Deontay Wilder. Ba mhaith liom iad araon. Ba mhaith liom go léir is fearr. Sin an chéad bheart eile. Tiocfaidh mo chuid ama chun solais. Is curadh domhanda mé anois agus is féidir liom a rá go bhfuil an crios sna lámha cearta. Níl mé chun suí thart. Ba mhaith liom troid.”
Deir Martin freisin gurb é sin craobh domhanda na Breataine, Tyson Fury, cuireann sé a chuid antics magadh in iúl dó riamh, ní miste leis.
“Is maith an dornálaíocht dó rudaí den chineál sin a dhéanamh. Is maith liom go. Is gnó ar fad é. Ag deireadh an lae níl aon mhairteoil craiceáilte aige le haon duine. Níor chonnaic éinne máthair duine ar bith. Níl ann ach dornálaíocht. Bhí ort aird a fháil ar bhealach éigin. Déanann sé daoine ag iarraidh troid a fheiceáil. Táimid sa ghnó siamsaíochta agus gortaithe. Is cinnte gur troid cheart é sa fáinne áfach. Is rud neamhphearsanta é a éiríonn an-phearsanta nuair a théann siad i bhfáinne liom. Sin beirt fhear’ slí bheatha ann. Sin é ár n-ioncam dár dteaghlaigh.”
