]]>Wilder said that he signed an agreement to have a rematch with Tyson Fury after he has fought the Cuban star, Luis Ortiz. “It’s officially on”, tweeted the American champion.
Wilder, who is currently 33 years old, tweeted that he agreed to fight Ortiz once again in a match that will probably occur in September 2019. He also said that he is by no means looking past Ortiz, noting that the latter is a dangerous fighter and that he is looking forward to facing Ortiz in the ring again after he defeated him last year in March with a 10th round stoppage.
Tyson Fury will face the German fighter Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas in what will be his first fight after he teamed up with the US broadcaster ESPN. The only problem is that the two fighters are operating with different broadcasters in the US which will complicate the arrangements around the match.

]]>The US fighter Andy Ruiz Junior fought a victory over the champion Joshua, bringing him his first defeat as a professional and claiming the IBF, WBA and WBO World Heavyweight titles. Joshua’s bid to end his US debut with a dramatic victory ended in misery as Ruiz recorded a monster upset.
A stunning fight that caught everyone off guard, it is maybe one of the most shocking turnarounds in the history of boxing – even bigger than the Buster Douglas victory over Mike Tyson in 1990.
After two relatively even rounds, things heated up in the third with Ruiz being sent to the floor, but after that Joshua dropped twice which were the second and third drop in his career. Ruiz knocked down Joshua twice more in the seventh round and then the fight was ended by the referee.
Anthony Joshua said that he was beaten by a good fighter and that it will be interesting to see how far he goes.

]]>The champion gave a stunning energetic performance that fascinated everybody watching the fight. The fight was scored a win for Saunders by all three judges with 120-108, 117-111 and 118-110 crowning Saunders as the world champion in his hometown at the Lamex stadium in Stevenage.
During the first half of the match, Saunders literally controlled the fight and Isufi was struggling in vain to catch his breath and counter-attack the opponent. The first danger for Sunders’ title came in during the midway mark of the fight when he sustained a strong left hook. Isufi failed to take advantage of this great opportunity to turn things around and Saunders managed to get the initiative firmly in his grasp.
This is a great success for Sounders after his devastating 2018 when he gave up his title and was instructed to pay $100,000 in fines. Now he ranks with top world fighters being a two-weight champion, in both middleweight and super-middleweight.

]]>With unsurprising confidence, Claressa Shields has declared that she will win because she is destined to become the greatest woman fighter of all time and the upcoming face-off with Christina Hammer will prove that. The fight has been already described as the “biggest fight in women’s boxing history.”
Shields, who’s a two-time Olympic champion, is really vocal about her aspirations regarding the match. She recently said that she wants to “erase that line between men’s boxing and women’s boxing” and make sure both get equal treatment. As she explains, women fighters must sacrifice or put on hold many aspects of their lives if they want to make it in this game.
On Christina Hammer, she commented that she will beat her because she’s good but not great, and has many flaws that make her vulnerable. Hammer has held the WBO middleweight title since 2010, after becoming the youngest boxer in history to win this title.
In response, 28-year old Hammer said that this will be a great opportunity to show the world what women can do in the ring.

]]>The post Billy Joe Saunders withdraws from Martin Murray fight appeared first on yoursportspot.com.
]]>The fight, which was scheduled to take place at the O2 arena in London, has been canceled for the second time. It was first moved from March to June after Saunders had suffered a hand injury while he was training.
Murray believes that Saunders has intentionally canceled the bout in order to earn a match against Gennady Golovkin. Golovkin’s re-match against Canelo Alvarez is being delayed due to payment disagreements and in the end, Canelo may end up choosing another opponent which could be Saunders. Golovkin is under pressure to find mandatory challengers for his two middleweight belts if the Alvarez match falls through.
If Murray ends up fighting Golovkin, the fight will likely take place at a big venue, possibly the London Stadium.
Alvarez will also need a credible opponent for his Mexico Independence Day fight in Las Vegas on September 15.

]]>As a result of the surgery, the 30-year-old Lomachenko is expected to be out of action for the rest of this year. The Ukrainian boxer had been hoping to return by this August but he will now be out of action for longer than that.

Lomachenko (11-1-9) managed to defeat Linares during the 10th round of their bout which took place on May 12th and this meant that he has now won titles in three divisions after he also won in 126 and 130.
After vacating his 130-pound WBO belt, he indicated that he wishes to stay within the lightweight division for the time being.

]]>Brook and Khan have had a fierce rivalry for many years, however, organizing a fight will be difficult. Their popularity has declined due to their defeats. Brook lost popularity following his defeats against Errol Spence Jr. and Gennady Golovkin while Khan lost popularity following his T.K.O defeat against Canelo Alvarez in May 2016 before he came back this year and quickly defeated Phil Lo Greco.
Furthermore, both men are in different weight divisions. The 31-year-old Khan only wants to fight at 147 while Brook fights at 154.
Brook competed at 147 last year and did not do well as he went on to be defeated against Errol Spence Jr. via 11th round knockout.
It is likely that Khan is going to want a title shot and aim to fight the winner of the July 15 bout between WBA World welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse and Manny Pacquiao.
