Tyson Fury retired 12 months ago but recently announced he will return to the ring as he seeks a third reign as heavyweight world champion

Carl Froch has told Tyson Fury there is no point coming out of retirement.

Fury retired 12 months ago but recently announced he will return to the ring as he seeks a third reign as heavyweight world champion. He is expected to fight again in April in a warm-up bout before setting his sights on a world title shot. His first-choice opponent had been Anthony Joshua but the Brit is recovering from injuries he suffered in a fatal car crash last month,

Fury could instead face champion Fabio Wardley who was upgraded to full champion in December when Oleksandr Usyk gave up his belt rather than face the Ipswich heavyweight. But as Fury prepares for his comeback in Thailand, former super-middleweight world champion Froch dismissed his return.

“Coming back into boxing at 37 years old, when he has been out for over a year, is anybody bothered?” he said on his YouTube channel. “Does anybody care? I don’t want to slander him because it’s Tyson Fury and he is great; he has been a great servant to boxing.

“He is a brilliant character, and I don’t want to give him any stick but I’m not f***ing a***d if he comes back to boxing or not. I’m not bothered; I don’t care anymore. He has retired five times. When he retired last, I knew that he was going to come back out of retirement. I think that the only reason that he should be coming back and the only fight worth looking at would be the ‘AJ’ fight.

“There is an argument that Fury lost to [Francis] Ngannou, there’s one loss, but he got the decision, then he lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk. There are three fights there where he has been beat, really, and now he is coming back after over a year out, it doesn’t make any sense, it’s pointless.

“If you’re going to come back and fight and try to be a top boy, and you want to get back into the mix at world level, jump in there with someone like Moses Itauma or [Agit] Kabayel.”

Deontay Wilder Vs. Derek Chisora Complications Why The Fight May Never Happen

Heavyweight veterans Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora are reportedly finalizing a clash for April 4, but Frank Warren has something to say about that.

The news broke after Chisora posted a social media clip showing a video call with Wilder, during which “War” Chisora held up what appeared to be a signed bout agreement. Wilder is looking to reclaim his status as the division’s most feared puncher after a rocky stretch. Wilder returned to winning ways in June 2025 with a seventh-round TKO of Tyrrell Anthony Herndon, putting behind the losses he suffered to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

“Signed. I hope you’re ready. This is the last phone call from me too, bro. I’m just phoning to tell you, bro, good luck,” Chisora

“Let’s freaking go! If I’m not ready then I’m gonna get ready. I’m just going to let you know, I love you, bro, this is the last phone call. Next time I see you it will be at the press conference and then after that we’ll be in the ring, baby. I love you so much, brother. Let’s make it happen,” Wilder

Will It Happen?

Meanwhile, Chisora has defied age by winning three consecutive fights, as the 42-year-old most recently beat Otto Wallin in February 2025. Despite the excitement, the fight faces significant issues. Reports suggest the card is being organized by Kalle Sauerland and Wasserman Boxing under the Misfits Pro banner. Frank Warren issued a firm rebuttal, stating that Chisora remains under a binding contract with Queensberry Promotions.

“I’m not [with Queensberry] anymore. The contract I had with Queensberry expired two months after my fight with Otto Wallin. The reason why we didn’t fight in December is I didn’t get a good contract, so I didn’t fight in December. So right now I’m just waiting on getting a good contract, a good number, and I’ll fight,” Chisora stated

“[Chisora] has a contract with us. What we deal with is facts, and the fact is that he has a contract with us,” Warren said

If Canelo turns in a poor showing in his next fight, the fallout will not stop with him. It will land on Crawford as well, because many fans already felt the fight last September raised questions about what level Canelo was operating on by that stage of his career.

Crawford won by two narrow scores of 115 113 and a wider 116 112 that did not reflect how the fight felt in the moment. There were stretches in the middle rounds where Canelo struggled to reset his feet, gave ground without returning fire, and looked a step behind exchanges that once would have been routine for him.

The fight was competitive and tense, but it did not feel like a meeting between the best super middleweight in the division and a challenger rising to meet him.

Among hardcore fans, the reaction after the final bell was fairly consistent. They pointed to how slow and stiff Canelo looked and how much of the fight resembled a veteran managing decline rather than imposing control. By the later rounds, there was a sense that neither Crawford nor Canelo would beat the younger pressure fighters waiting at 168.

Names kept coming up in that discussion, including Osleys Iglesias, Christian Mbilli, and Lester Martinez, fighters known for size, pace, and sustained pressure who Canelo has not faced during his time at super middleweight. That is where the criticism starts to stick.

Max Kellerman addressed the issue on InsideRingShow, saying that if Canelo looks bad in his next fight, people will say Crawford beat a post prime version, and that outcome would hurt Crawford because the two performances are linked, whether he wants them to be or not.

Fans did not need a future fight to arrive at that view. Many were already saying it after the final bell, reading the performance as one that suggested a champion closer to the end than the peak.

You can argue that Canelo would have lost his super middleweight titles years earlier if he had faced the real threats in the division, including David Benavidez, David Morrell, Iglesias, Mbilli, or Martinez, but those fights never happened and the belts stayed with him as time passed.

Crawford stepped in at the right moment to face a champion who remained skilled but was no longer operating at his sharpest level. He won, then walked away before the division could respond.

That decision protects the record and keeps the debate unresolved.

Crawford’s biggest win came against a name rather than a full division. If that name continues to fade, the win will be viewed through that lens.

Mike Tyson claims to have ‘learned’ from the mistakes he made ahead of his last outing against Jake Paul, and promises to ‘be better’ in his expected exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather.

The 59-year-old lost a unanimous decision to Paul in November 2024, albeit in a contest that involved 14oz gloves and a limited duration of eight, two-minute rounds.

But still, with their matchup being sanctioned as a professional bout by the Texas Combative Sports Program, ‘Iron Mike’ was ultimately handed a seventh loss on his record.

Prior to their encounter, many had expressed concern over Tyson’s deteriorating health, particularly after he suffered an ulcer flare-up earlier that year.

The former world heavyweight champion later admitted that he had almost lost his life, but nonetheless entered his postponed contest with Paul and produced a largely pedestrian performance.

Since then, Tyson has been linked with an exhibition match against Mayweather, 48, with reports suggesting that their event could be staged in Africa this coming March.

But now, as he gears up to take on ‘TBE’, the Brooklyn heavyweight says he needs to lower the intensity of his training.

In an interview with Hard Rock Bet, Tyson says that the demanding nature of his preparation for Paul undoubtedly had a negative impact on his overall performance.

“I feel good right now. This is the best I’ve felt. I can’t wait to start getting in the ring. I learned from my last fight.

“I left a lot of my fight in the gym. I worked too hard. I was too intense. I was too extreme. I need to relax more. That’s what I always believe. I need to relax more … I’m getting more and more confident, and I believe I’ll be better in the next fight coming up.”

Before facing Paul, Tyson’s last professional outing came in 2005, when he suffered a sixth-round stoppage defeat to Kevin McBride.

Mayweather, meanwhile, has not fought professionally since his 10th-round finish over Conor McGregor in 2017, for which he hit the scales at just under 150lbs.

“Weird”: Gervonta Davis’ First Video Since Civil Lawsuit Caused $40M Loss Has Fans Speculating CTE

Gervonta Davis is back. Not in the boxing ring, but on social media. Why was he gone? Well, weeks before his much-anticipated fight against Jake Paul last year, his ex-girlfriend sued him for battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, and kidnapping. This had devastating effects on his career.

Having already discussed retirement, ‘Tank’ was forced to back out of the fight after Paul’s MVP canceled the bout. Davis was reportedly set to earn a massive $40 million paycheck from the encounter on Netflix. Regardless, it appears Davis is in high spirits with his first video on social media.

Gervonta Davis shows off his old moves

In a clip obtained by Fight Hub TV, Davis can be seen dancing in a rather unusual manner. “Gervonta Davis is back on social media, with an unusual video,” Fight Hub TV captioned the post. However, for Davis’ long-time followers, this behavior is nothing out of the ordinary. Several videos circulating across the internet show Davis frequently showcasing his “unusual” moves—antics that feel oddly unbecoming of his undefeated aura.

Davis’ absence from social media followed a turbulent year inside and outside the ring. Before ultimately missing out on the Jake Paul fight, Davis had squared off against Lamont Roach Jr. The matchup wasn’t unfamiliar territory, as the Baltimore native had already defeated Roach Jr. twice in the past. However, when they met again under the bright lights, the outcome was drastically different.

Roach Jr. pushed Gervonta Davis to his limits, to the point where ‘Tank’ was forced to take a knee mid-fight—an incident that sparked significant controversy. In the end, Davis recorded the first draw of his professional career against Roach Jr. Still, in response to Davis’ latest video, some fans have begun speculating whether the boxer may have absorbed too many blows to the head.

Tank was always a little weird, says fan

One of the first comments the post received aimed to mock Davis for his moves and his infamous knee during the Roach Jr. fight. “Y’all he’s playing, but he’s showing that his knee is better; he had surgery on it recently,” the user commented. No reports confirm that Davis had indeed had surgery.

Meanwhile, this user wasn’t surprised by Davis’ dance moves. “He has always been a little weird. Pitbull made it worse,” the user commented. Davis’ fight against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz was a close affair, where ‘Pitbull’ landed pretty decent blows. However, Davis ultimately won the fight by decision.

The next user had a theory about why Davis posted the dancing clip. “CTE, boredom, needing a little attention, he good,” the user commented. While CTE is a prevalent problem in boxing, Davis doesn’t appear to show many symptoms quite yet.

Another user pointed out the video wasn’t out of the norm for Davis. “He always [does] these videos like that dancing one,” the user wrote. However, Gervonta Davis always gets mocked for the videos as well.

For someone else, however, the video was confirmation that Davis was suffering from CTE. “Yep …. CTE confirmed  I see why he said he done with boxing,” the user commented. While Davis has indicated he will hang up his gloves, that could always be a ploy to gain more attention.

Oleksandr Usyk receives intriguing offer from Andy Ruiz Jr as talks continue over return fight

Andy Ruiz Jr wants to make a fight with Oleksandr Usyk happen this year.

Usyk is currently yet to confirm his next opponent, having initially vacated his WBO title in pursuit of a showdown with Deontay Wilder.

But it was confirmed to talkSPORT by Derek Chisora that he will instead face the ‘Bronze Bomber, with the bout expected to take place in April in London.

Ruiz is keen to challenge for the titles again years on from first claiming them with upset victory over Anthony Joshua

For now, the unified champion has been left out in the cold, and although Wilder still plans to challenge Usyk, he could well lose the risky bout and jeopardise a future meeting.

Therefore it is expected that ‘The Cat’ will consider his options in the meantime with a number of alternative options on the table.

Rumours have gathered pace in recent weeks that he could sign with Dana White and new promotion Zuffa Boxing with talks already being held.

And it was suggested that heavy-handed Andy Ruiz Jr could well be a potential opponent.

Now in a sign that the bout could well be on the table, the Mexican has taken to social media to make an offer to Usyk.

He shared a created picture of the pair facing off, as if the fight was already confirmed.

And he wrote the caption: “Let’s make it happen @usykaa.”

The fight could well be realistic, with rumours suggesting that any meeting could be held in July.

Would Ruiz Jr make a good opponent for Usyk?

Usyk would likely be an overwhelming favourite against Ruiz Jr, but the powerful Mexican has large commercial selling power.

The potential challenger hasn’t been as active as he would have liked in recent years, having fought just three times since his rematch defeat to Anthony Joshua in 2019.

In his last outing, Ruiz Jr broke his hand and faced a spell out of the ring after controversially drawing with Jarrell Miller in August 2024.

Now he has returned to training and is looking to get back into shape and put his name into the heavyweight mix.

Who else if not Ruiz Jr for Usyk?

Usyk is only looking for big-name fights in the twilight stages of his career, the reason he suggested he would not face Fabio Wardley who received his vacated title.

Sergey Lapin, his team director has suggested that leading ranked Agit Kabayel is a viable option.

“In today’s heavyweight top division, there are no ‘safe’ opponents; every top-level guy is a threat,” Lapin told talkSPORT Bet.

Usyk beat Dubois in his last outing in July 2025 and has limited time remaining in his career

“Kabayel is definitely a possible option.

“We see how Germany reacts to these fights, the stadiums they can fill, and how strong that market is.

“Stylistically, he can be tricky, too. Pressure, pace, physicality.

“It would be a big European fight with strong business potential.”

‘Hell of a shot’: Tiger Woods compliments son Charlie after bizarre sequence at junior golf tournament

PGA Tour fans are getting an extra-long break with this week’s Sentry at Kapalua canceled. But the tour’s biggest star, Tiger Woods, is still on a golf course this week. Following his son, Charlie, at a junior tournament, that is.

And, apparently, there was a pretty bizarre sequence during Sunday’s second round of the Junior Orange Bowl.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Charlie hit an errant drive under a tree on the 11th hole at the Biltmore Golf Course. When the 16-year-old tried to hit a recovery shot, his golf ball popped up off a root and nearly hit him in the face.

The Post reports that Charlie was forced to “drop his club and cover his face.” But good news! The young man was fine. And he then somehow managed to put his next shot onto the green and make a long putt for par.

Which prompted the ultimate compliment from Pops: “Hell of a shot,” Tiger was heard telling Charlie as the two joked about the wild hole. We just wish it had all been caught on camera. Instead, you’ll have to settle for these photos of Charlie—well, mostly Tiger—from the Palm Beach Post.

Charlie shot a 73 to go with his opening 72. The 13th-ranked junior golfer in the country is T-22 after two rounds (Full scores here) at and event his dad won way (WAY) back in 1991.

Yeah, Tiger Woods is getting old. In fact, he turned the big five-oh last week! And we have had plenty of content to honor the occasion.

Tiger Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump in March 2025 via an Instagram post, raising more than a few eyebrows along the way when he declared, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” The superstar golfer spoke glowingly of his “journey through life” with his new flame before making the obligatory plea for privacy.

As odd as the coupling might seem, it actually makes perfect sense. Both have close ties to President Donald Trump: Woods through golfing events, and Vanessa by virtue of her former marriage to first son Donald Trump Jr. Woods’ children attend the same Palm Beach private school as Vanessa’s daughter, Kai Trump, who’s a promising golfer herself. In fact, the couple is said to have met through social events at the exclusive Benjamin School.

Yet while no one is questioning the sincerity or depth of the couple’s love, they may not be staying together strictly for romantic dinners and cuddles on the backyard hammock. Sources tell the Daily Mail that the champion, who turned 50 in December 2025, is feeling the effects of his age and the physical limitations that come with it.

Injuries and surgeries in recent years have clearly limited Woods’ ability to play, and there are rumors he may opt to retire rather than try staging a comeback. If that happens, he may need the emotional support of a loyal partner more than ever. “[Trump] came into his life at just the right time,” explained an insider. “She showed up as he was seriously considering what happens next in his career. She has added so much stability on the home front, and he gushes about her influence in his life.”

Tiger Woods is getting the thumbs-up from important family members

Two prominent members of President Donald Trump’s family have given their blessing to Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods. When their relationship was first made “Instagram official,” first daughter Ivanka Trump cheered in the comments section, “So happy for you both!” Bettina Anderson, now engaged to Vanessa’s ex, Donald Trump Jr., was equally delighted: “Beautiful couple. So happy for you both,” she wrote. While Don Jr. himself hasn’t publicly commented, sources tell Page Six that he wishes his ex nothing but the best with her new love. The president’s long-time friendship with the Grand Slam champ also factored into Don Jr.’s opinion: “He also knows that his father respects Tiger and how well they get along,” an insider said.

Even more importantly, at least one of Vanessa’s children seems to be on board with her mom’s new beau. Kai Trump accompanied her to the January 15, 2026, gala honoring both Woods’ 50th birthday and the 30th anniversary fundraiser for his TGR Foundation, an initiative that provides STEAM-based educational programs to underserved areas in several cities. Kai, stunning in a red gown, seemed genuinely delighted to be there; at 18, she could easily have begged off going or copped a teen attitude. The fact that she was happily present — and loves golf — seems to bode well for the family.

Woods isn’t hanging up his golf bag just yet, though he’s said he’s still working to get back in shape before he can compete again, as he entered 2026 still slowly recovering from his second back surgery in one year. With the support of both his new girlfriend and the women in her circle, he could enjoy a final season or two before planning a post-tournament future.

Gervonta Davis is a fugitive from justice and the WBA has stripped him of his lightweight world title. Off-ring scandals and serious allegations mark the boxer’s downfall.

Following the serious traffic accident he suffered in Nigeria, comments from his uncle and the silence from Anthony Joshua himself have fueled major doubts about his future in boxing.
