“I am confident in my abilities. I am going to do something that no one has ever done before, ”said Porrier. He recalled that Nurmagomedov’s account has no defeats, and therefore it seems that it is impossible to defeat him. “I’m going to show the world that this guy can also bleed, that he can be hurt, that he can make mistakes,” the soldier wrote.

Maxine Barrett

UFC Middleweight Paulo Costa reiterated his confidence that he would be able to win an early victory over Yoel Romero.

“Yes, I have been waiting for Yoel Romero for a long time,” Costa told BJPENN.com. “I got hurt, then he got hurt, but I wanted this fight.” I know when I beat Romero, my next fight will be for the title. But for now, my focus is on Yoel Romero. ”

“He is a wrestling champion. But this is MMA. We are not going to fight according to the rules of free-style wrestling. Believe me, I will knock him out. And if he is not very smart, I will conduct him a takedown and end the fight by asphyxiation. I’m just telling Yoel to be careful what you want. I will fight Romero, as I always fight. From the first second I will try to knock him out. It will end in the first round. No one knows how to handle my power. I hit very hard, and Yoel just can’t handle it. ”

Anthony Joshua: Lennox Lewis is a clown, no respect for him

Maxine Barrett

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua reacted quite sharply to the criticisms of his compatriot, the undisputed world champion in this weight, Lennox Lewis. Earlier, Joshua already noted that Lewis’s words about the current boxers are too much negative, but now he spoke even more clearly.

“Lennox is a clown. “I don’t respect Lennox,” Joshua said in the AJ: The Untold Truth documentary on Sky Sports, and replied to the objection that Lewis left an outstanding legacy. – So what? So do I. Lennox and I are different. My legacy is to relax and enjoy the way the next generation makes its way to the heights, and not get into their business. Just appreciate what it costs to get to the top. Lennox is not like that. We are made from a different test. ”

Lewis in response to this suggested that this story that he allegedly envies Joshua, is specially hyped by someone from the team of the ex-champion on mostbet.

“I’m disappointed with the words of Joshua, but I understand that this story with“ envy ”was inflated after my criticism of their negotiations with Wilder. Suddenly I became a hater. Think about who benefits from such a primitive story? Not Joshua, and not me, ”Lewis wrote in social networks.

Joshua also admitted that now he does not think about the title of absolute world champion, but focuses on returning his champion titles in rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr.

“I don’t think about that anymore,” said Joshua. – I had 22 fights, and they said that I can become an absolute champion. What would I do after? Boxed with Otto Wallin? Thoughts about the absolute championship seemed to say that I was already at the end of my path. I became a champion, combined titles twice, and now my goal is to become a two-time world champion. When I reach it, I can think about becoming an absolute champion. ”

Tyson Fury: Next time I will knock out Wilder

Maxine Barrett

Former world heavyweight champion, Briton Tyson Fury, in an interview with ESPN’s “First Take” program, dedicated to the announcement of his fight against Otto Wallin on September 14 in Las Vegas, said that he will strive for early victory, because in the first fight, which ended in a draw in the United States in December last year, the judges were too supportive of the American.

“Last time, on my part, a mistake that I will no longer make was to believe that we are on an equal footing, which we don’t know, so I have to knock him out,” said Fury about the second fight with Wilder, which is tentatively planned at the beginning of next year. “I don’t think I can win on points here [in the USA], because I obviously won that fight.” I outboxed him in all rounds except the two in which he knocked me down. ”

“Obviously, it will not be possible for me to win on points on mostbet, so I need to change my style, which I am glad because I have never been so strong, I have never beat so hard, I have never been so confident in myself as at the moment. This time I will knock him out. I’m not going to box, because we know what it gave us last time, isn’t it, so I think this time he or I will be knocked out. ”


Hearn responded to Ruiz’s statement about revenge with Joshua in the USA

Maxine Barrett

Promoter Eddie Hearn ruled out the possibility of a rematch between WBA, IBF and WBO champion Andy Ruiz and former U.S. title holder Anthony Joshua, announced today by Ruiz. According to Hearn, an American can’t influence the place and other conditions of the battle, although he is now the champion.

“The contract for a rematch was signed before the first fight,” Hearn explained in an interview with Sky Sports, commenting on Ruiz’s statement. – There is no other contract. Our responsibility is to notify Ruiz of the time, date and place of the match. We did it. That’s all. The contract obliges them to hold a rematch. There were no conversations between our teams that the battle might not take place. I don’t see any problem. ”

“Any delay – and Ruiz will lose titles that he is unlikely to like,” added Hearn. – He has a choice: to start a lawsuit, which can exclude him from boxing for many years, or to defend his belts against an opponent whom he has already won, and get a lot of money for it. I have no doubt that he will prefer to fight ”.

Recall that Andy Ruiz, communicating with fans during a live broadcast on Instagram, said that he was not satisfied with Saudi Arabia as a venue for the fight, and the rematch should take place on his terms, and he wants to hold it in the United States.

Promoter Puleva: Rematch clause contrary to IBF rules

Maxine Barrett

John Wirth, co-promoter of mandatory IBF heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev, believes his decision to appeal to the IBF verdict to grant Andy Ruiz a deferral of mandatory defense to hold a rematch against Anthony Joshua is perfectly correct in light of recent events.

“We are worried about reports that Ruiz has not yet given his consent for a rematch,” Wirth quoted BoxingScene.com. – The fact that Joshua and his team forced Ruiz to accept the condition for an immediate rematch is a direct violation of paragraph 3B of the IBF rules [“The contract for a champion match cannot contain conditions or provisions guaranteeing any participant a return champion match, if such a condition or the situation hinders the mandatory title defense ”- IBF Championship Rules], and I’m not sure that Matchroom will be able to enforce it.”

Recall that according to the IBF decision of mostbet uz, Ruiz received a postponement on two conditions: a rematch with Joshua must pass no later than December 7, and his winner must hold mandatory IBF title defense no later than May 31. According to Wirth, they want Ruiz and Joshua to confirm in writing their acceptance of these conditions and commit themselves to comply with them.

“We also want to know the deadline by which fighters must accept the IBF terms, especially in light of the fact that an agreement on the fight has not yet been reached. We need to know in which direction we should move: if a rematch takes place and all three zones are played in it, we plan to organize another fight for Puleva in November, ”the promoter said.

“I want to say one more thing: Pulev would agree to box with Ruiz even in the USA, even in Mexico or even in Timbuktu. Joshua and his team forget one of the main rules of boxing: when a boxer becomes a champion, everything changes, ”added Wirth.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic noted the jaw of an elderly man in an Irish pub hit by Conor McGregor. Miočić said the video published yesterday on April 6 of this attack is not enough to conclude what happened.

“I watched this video in the morning. Strong old man, holds a blow well. Took a hit like a champion, ”Miocic said in an interview with TV. – We do not know what exactly happened there. Everyone drank there, so I don’t know. I’m not justifying anyone, but we don’t know all the details. There are always two sides to history. ”
