Tyson Fury makes Deontay Wilder U-turn after cheating accusations

Tyson Fury fears Deontay Wilder is struggling with his mental health following his recent outbursts.

Wilder, who has been promoting his April clash with Derek Chisora this week, has repeatedly accused Fury of cheating during their three-fight rivalry. The heavyweights drew their first fight in 2018 before Fury stopped Wilder in their second and third encounters.

Wilder has looked a shadow of his former self since but will attempt to set himself up for another world title shot by knocking out Chisora in London on Easter weekend. Now Fury has decided to stop biting at Wilder’s accusations and instead expressed concerns over his former rival.

“I’m sat here thinking about all the stuff Deontay Wilder has been saying recently,” Fury said in a video posted to social media. “I got dragged into posting stuff, a video of me knocking him out and whatever… I’ve just deleted it. Rather than retaliate and hate on somebody – this man really dopes have mental health issues, it’s evident to see – and rather than go back and forth with him, saying he’s deluded, I’m going to pray for him and ask God to help him.

“He obviously needs the help and I’m not getting involved in pettiness. The fights were won fair and square and that’s it. I’m going to pray for him and ask the Father to bring him back to the light. This man is lost, a lost soul, and I beg Jesus to return him to the Kingdom.”

Fury himself will return to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11. He had previously responded to Wilder’s outburst by hitting back at the American. “Wilder is and was a p****. Little b**** and a s***house also! When I put it on him in Saudi he hugged me,” he said.

One of Wilder’s complaints is the count given by referee Jack Reiss in his first meeting with Fury. The Brit was dropped in the final round but climbed off the canvas to hear the final bell. “Being a black man with dark skin is harder to believe than being a white man,” saids Wilder. “And in that first fight with the referee — that’s white supremacy. You know what he did? He said, ‘what’s best for boxing.’ No, your job is to count his a** out. He gave him an extra 15 count. It is what it is. I speak with truth, heart, and passion.”

Shakur Stevenson stripped of WBC world title days after Teofimo Lopez victory

Shakur Stevenson is no longer WBC Lightweight World Champion.

The 28 year old from Newark won the vacant WBC strap back in November of 2023 with a victory over Edwin De Los Santos. Despite becoming champion in a third division that night, his performance was widely criticised as too safety-first.

In his first defence, the only fight he had in 2024, Stevenson put on a similar showing against Artem Harutyunyan before stopping late replacement Josh Padley in February 2025. His stock rose significantly when taking on pressure fighter William Zepeda that July, retaining the belt for a third time in a much more fan-friendly affair.

This past weekend, the defensive master moved up to super-lightweight to challenge Teofimo Lopez, winning all but one round on the scorecards in a truly elite performance.

Though his next move is undecided – he has been discussing yet another jump up to compete at welterweight – what is now clear is that he won’t be defending the WBC belt at 135lbs. The sanctioning body today released the following statement:

“On January 31, 2026, WBC World Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson gave a brilliant performance to defeat WBO World Super Lightweight Champion Teofimo López. Champion Stevenson is now a 4-time World Champion; a feat achieved by a few boxers in history. Among those boxers we find Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

“Throughout his career, Champion Stevenson has maintained a historic and extraordinarily successful relationship with the WBC. His ascent to the top began in January 2019, when he captured the WBC Continental Americas title; signaling the start of a career destined for greatness.

“In 2022, Stevenson solidified his elite status by defeating Oscar Valdez to become the WBC Super Featherweight Champion. Subsequently, in 2023, he moved up to the lightweight division to claim the Green and Gold belt; a title he defended with pride and technical mastery on three consecutive occasions.

“In light of Champion Stevenson now being the reigning WBO Super Lightweight World Champion and consistent with the WBC Rules & Regulations, the WBC has declared vacant its Lightweight World title.

“The WBC wishes Champion Stevenson continued success in all his future endeavors, both inside and outside the ring.

“The WBC will provide further information regarding the process to crown a new Lightweight World Champion in the near future.”

Stevenson may consider sticking around at 140lbs to defend his newly won WBO strap, though he seems focused more on major names rather than mandatories. Post-fight, as well as targeting Conor Benn at 147, he has named Isaac Cruz as a potential opponent, while also saying he would be willing to face Devin Haney.

Gervonta Davis: The Controversial Video That Almost Cost Him His Freedom

Gervonta Davis is back in the eye of the storm, and once again, it’s not because of his powerful knockouts in the ring. The American fighter sparked a social media firestorm by sharing a clip that many interpreted as a mockery of his current legal situation: he was seen celebrating with alcohol and luxury, just days after being granted probation.

The Video of Discord The controversy erupted when Davis reposted a video alongside a friend in a high-end car, decorated with champagne glass emojis. Public opinion was quick to react with indignation, assuming the boxer was defying the sobriety and low profile expected of someone under judicial supervision following his recent legal battles.

Gervonta Davis Will Return to Prison After Violating His Probation

Gervonta Davis, in trouble again: the law knocks on his door once more

Gervonta “Tank” Davis keeps making headlines, but increasingly not for his impact in boxing. Just one week after being detained in Miami, the world champion is back under scrutiny after a new arrest warrant was issued against him for violating his probation.

The boxer, one of the most explosive names in the lightweight division, is going through a critical moment outside the ring. According to court reports, authorities in Baltimore believe Davis failed to comply with the conditions imposed after a previous hit-and-run conviction, a case that already put his career in jeopardy in 2023. This new development only worsens a record that seems unable to find a breaking point.

The Miami arrest and the case that sparked the crisis

The most recent turning point came on January 14, when Davis was arrested in Miami after being reported by his ex-partner, who accused him of assault, unlawful detention, and attempted kidnapping. The incident is linked to an altercation that allegedly occurred on October 27 at a nightclub in Florida.

According to the complaint, the boxer physically assaulted the woman in an area without security cameras and later in the venue’s parking lot. Police stated that surveillance footage from the club supports the victim’s account, who also filed a civil lawsuit weeks after the incident.

Although Davis was released after posting an $8,500 bond, the damage had already been done. The case led to the cancellation of his highly anticipated fight, impacting both his public image and his sporting projection.

Probation violation and credibility in free fall

The new arrest warrant issued in Baltimore is not directly tied to the Miami case, but rather to a violation of the probation Davis is serving for a past hit-and-run incident in which four people were injured.

According to authorities, the boxer failed to comply with supervised conduct requirements, reopening a case that appeared to be moving toward closure. A recent video circulating on social media accused him of partying while on probation, though it was later clarified that the footage was old. Even so, the damage to his credibility was already done.

As legal and sports analysts point out, Davis carries a reputation that erodes with every new incident, even when parts of the accusations are later disproven.

Impact on his career: undeniable talent, uncertain future

With a professional record of 30-0-1 and 28 knockouts, Gervonta Davis remains one of the most feared fighters in boxing. Outside the ring, however, his situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable. According to judicial sources and police reports, this new arrest warrant could lead to harsher sanctions and, once again, a suspension of his boxing activity.

This is not the first time his career has been stalled by legal issues. It already happened when he was sentenced to house arrest, later jailed for violating those conditions, and now he faces a similar scenario once again.

‘I got proof, artifacts’ – Deontay Wilder makes wild claim Tyson Fury

Deontay Wilder makes wild claim Tyson Fury cheated in two of their fights

Former WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is officially set to return to the boxing ring on April 4, 2026, when he faces two-time title challenger Derek Chisora at The O2 Arena in London on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV).

While promoting the fight, Wilder recently sat down for an interview with The Ring, where the conversation inevitably turned to Tyson Fury — a shared rival for both Wilder and Chisora. Fury defeated Chisora three times and also fought Wilder in one of boxing’s most memorable trilogies.

Chisora brushed off the topic with a laugh, joking, “He beat my ass three times.” Wilder, however, took a far more aggressive approach, accusing “The Gypsy King” of cheating in two of their three bouts.

“He didn’t whoop me twice at all,” Wilder said. “I’m telling you what I know. You’re only seeing what you saw — he didn’t win nothing, they gave it to him. I can’t think of our third fight, but in two of them, he definitely cheated. I’ve got proof and evidence of that. When I do my documentary and movie about it, it’s going to be presented. I’m going to bring the people, and the artifacts, I know.”

Wilder doubled down on his accusations, challenging Fury to respond legally if the claims are false.

“Why do you think he can’t come back to America?” Wilder continued. “The man cheated. He’s the biggest cheater in boxing history. If I’m lying, then please tell him to sue me for defamation of character so that I have the proof. I can’t wait. Being a black man with dark skin is harder to believe than being a white man. And in that first fight with the referee — that’s white supremacy. You know what he did? He said, ‘what’s best for boxing.’ No, your job is to count his ass out. He gave him an extra 15 count. It is what it is. I speak with truth, heart, and passion.”

Fury and Wilder’s rivalry remains one of the most iconic trilogies in boxing history. Their first meeting ended in a controversial split draw, with many fans believing Wilder deserved the win after scoring two knockdowns. Fury dominated the second fight via TKO, after which Wilder introduced a series of infamous excuses — including claims his water was spiked and his ring-walk outfit was too heavy. The third fight ended similarly, with Fury stopping Wilder again in an instant classic.

Fury has yet to respond publicly to Wilder’s latest cheating allegations — but if history is any indication, a response will come, and it likely won’t be subtle.

“I’m Missing Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars!”: Floyd Mayweather S

Floyd Mayweather Sues Showtime … “I’m Missing Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars!”

Floyd Mayweather says he made over a billion bucks in earnings over his legendary career, but the 50-0 fighter claims all the money didn’t make it to his bank account … and now he’s suing Showtime, claiming they played a big role in his ex-manager screwing him out of hundreds of millions of dollars!

In the lawsuit, filed by Floyd in California, and obtained by TMZ Sports … Mayweather says he’s gunning to “recover hundreds of millions of dollars in the misappropriated funds and damages resulting from a long-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud,” allegedly perpetrated by his longtime advisor Al Haymon … and now he’s claiming Haymon got “substantial participation and aid” from Showtime and former Showtime Sports president, Stephen Espinoza.

Showtime and Espinoza are listed as defendants … while Haymon is NOT being sued.

Floyd claims Haymon, with whom he worked for over a decade, misappropriated a “significant portion of his career earnings” to the tune of a whopping $340 million … and he says he did so with the help of Showtime and SE.

Mayweather says the money is still “‘missing’ and unaccounted for.”

In the suit, Mayweather references several of his biggest fights, including against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, alleging Showtime and Espinoza effectively delivered money owed to Floyd directly into Haymon’s hands by sending accounts essentially controlled by Haymon.

Years later, after the undefeated boxer switched managers and his new team asked to see Showtime’s books, which Floyd claims the network told him were “lost in a flood,” or weren’t accessible.

Mayweather is suing Showtime and Espinoza for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy to commit fraud, conversion, and unjust enrichment.

In addition to the $340 million, Mayweather is also seeking punitive damages.

Reached for comment, Mayweather’s attorney, Bobby Samini, predicted victory, saying … “Floyd is one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view draws. He generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Showtime. Mr. Mayweather now takes this fight to the courtroom to recover what he rightfully earned. Retiring undefeated at 50-0, Mr. Mayweather will go the distance in the courtroom just as he has in the ring.”

Terence Crawford Reveals Key Reason for His Sudden Retirement

By
Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford’s sudden retirement in December is still reverberating throughout the sport of boxing.

Retiring with a perfect 42-0 (31 KOs), and soundly defeating Canelo Alvarez in his last bout, “Bud” accomplished what most athletes only dream about: leaving the sport while they’re still at the top of their game.

During the Ring Magazine ceremony, where he was named Fighter of the Year, Crawford finally received his long-overdue flowers in history. With James Brown’s classic song “Boss” playing in the background, Crawford reflected on his remarkable journey that made him one of boxing’s greatest fighters.

“I guess I did pay the cost to be the boss,” Crawford told Manouk Akopyan of Ring Magazine. “What a way to end your career. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself.”

Crawford’s retirement left the boxing world in shock

To say that Crawford’s retirement stunned the boxing world would be an understatement. Many boxing pundits and fans alike were anticipating a possible rematch between Crawford and Alvarez. Instead of a rematch, the six-division champion decided to hang up his gloves in December 2025.

As questions persist around his decision, Crawford explained the rationale behind his move to retire.

“A lot of people keep asking me why I retired,” said Crawford. “I’ve been doing this sport since I was seven years old. I retired at 38. Ask yourself: if you’ve been taking your body through hell for 30 years, would you retire? That’s why I retired,”

Crawford also wanted to leave the sport not only as an all-time great fighter, but with his health intact.

“There is nothing else left for me to accomplish in the sport of boxing,” he said. “I gave my all to boxing, but I’m not going to give my health to boxing.”

Crawford went on to say that there’s no one on the current boxing landscape for him to fight. While he will miss some large paydays and the competition in the ring, he’s content with his place among the pantheon of boxing greats.

“If I were to come back, who would I fight? I have nobody to fight and nothing to accomplish,” said Crawford. “That would mean that I am just coming back for the sport and money. I never fought for money. I fought for legacy.”

Now that his retirement is official, Crawford has much to do outside of the ring. He’s looking forward to spending time with his family, traveling the world, and enjoying his downtime.

“I’m taking the time to travel the world and spend time with my family,” said Crawford. “I’m not worried about anything right now. I said I was going to take a year off, just to do that, and then think about what to do next. But for now, I’m just relaxing.”

Undoubtedly, Crawford’s legacy is etched in stone. If he never makes a comeback in the ring, his contributions to the “sweet science” will never be forgotten.

Warrant Issued For Gervonta Davis In Maryland, One Week After Miami Arrest

Legal issues continue to mount for Gervonta “Tank” Davis … ’cause nearly a week after he was arrested in Miami over domestic violence allegations — TMZ Sports has confirmed an arrest warrant was issued out of Maryland for the troubled boxer.
Court records show Judge Althea Handy issued the warrant Monday on the grounds Davis violated his probation relating to his 2020 hit-and-run that injured four people, including a pregnant woman.Gervonta Davis In The Ring

The 31-year-old received 90 days of house arrest, three years of probation, and 200 hours of community service. He was later sent to jail after violating the terms of his home confinement.
Davis’ attorney in the case, Hunter Pruette, has asked the judge to recall the arrest warrant and instead have a summons issued.
“Mr. Davis has appeared as directed, posted bond, complied with all conditions, remained within Florida, and promptly notified supervision of his arrest,” Pruette wrote in court documents obtained by the Baltimore Banner.
“Detaining him in Maryland would frustrate, not facilitate, compliance by impairing his ability to defend the Florida case and creating substantial logistical barriers to court appearances.”
It all came after a weeks-long search for the undefeated boxer ended when U.S. Marshals scooped him up on Wednesday.
Davis was ordered to stay away from the victim and the club where the alleged incident took place, as well as have zero contact with the alleged victim, directly or indirectly.

“I’m not interested”: Canelo Alvarez dismisses David Benavidez for taking his date

Canelo Alvarez has accustomed the boxing world to fighting in May and September on dates important to the Mexican market in the United States.

But 2026 will not be like that, as he had surgery on his left elbow and after losing all his titles in September to Terence Crawford, he will take a year to return to the ring and will do so in Saudi Arabia on September 12 with an opponent yet to be confirmed.

David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez takes Saul Alvarez’s place

But with such an important date in boxing and for Mexicans, the card could not be left free and so the fight between David Benavidez and Gilberto Ramirez was scheduled

I really don’t care who gets the date. No, not in May. I need to recover from my elbow. I’ll be fine in September.

So, with Saturday, May 2, vacant, David Benavidez will appear in Las Vegas to face Gilberto Ramirez in the absence of Saul Alvarez (63-3-2), which he does not care about.

Who will be Canelo Alvarez’s opponent?

While his opponent has not been announced and there are no rumors about it, it is thought that one option could be Christian Mbili (29-0-1), as the WBC made him its interim super middleweight champion after Crawford’s retirement.

Anthony Joshua finally smiling after fatal Nigeria car crash in a rare moment

Last year, in Dec. 2025, Anthony Joshua and two of his closest friends, Sina Ghami and Kevin Latif Ayodele, found themselves victims of a fatal car crash in Nigeria. While Joshua escaped with minor injuries, Ghami and Ayodele lost their lives. Away from the public eye since then, Joshua recently returned to the spotlight when he shared his first statement on the crash last week.

In a video now doing the rounds on the internet, Joshua could be seen enjoying a children’s soccer game in Hertfordshire, England, while sporting a wide grin on his face and laughing. After weeks of sadness and a downhill journey, Joshua’s smile was enough to melt his fans on the internet.

As mentioned above, Joshua recently penned down an emotional post on social media, paying tribute to his late friends, while also sharing his gratitude to the Nigerian authorities for saving his life.

“It’s tough. It’s really tough. I’m not going to sit ⁠here and show all of my ‌emotions,” Joshua said on social ⁠media. Addressing the loss, he further claimed, “I’ve lost people before, but I don’t think I’ve lost people like that. My left and my right.”

Joshua last month defeated Jake Paul in a dominant boxing victory, following which he visited Nigeria for a vacation. The date of Joshua’s return to the boxing ring is currently unknown.
