A little story about my fight trip to Japan last month, for @TheFightCity. 🥊✍️ #InoueNakatani

Never get tired of re-watching Lennox's best wins. Such a great fighter, so many top-drawer performances. Great time to be a boxing fan.
It was #OnThisDay, an unexpected KO and "a scintillating performance that sent shockwaves" thru the fight game. And in honor of the occasion, here are Lennox Lewis' Top 12 Greatest Victories. Check it out: thefightcity.com/top-12-best… #Boxing #History #OTD From

Foster all class in post-fight interview. Put the stamp on an excellent performance in that last round. #TripleChamp #NavarreteFoser
Got to point just had to turn sound off, commentary insufferable. Foster’s fighting a very good fight, but you’d think Navarrate hadn’t landed a punch all night listening to these guys. #NavarreteFoster
This win's gonna age very, very well for Usyk. Was talk before about whether he'd stick around to face Itauma and beat "the next gen" – but maybe he already did.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Lots of criticism of the ref here, but if the corner feel strongly their fighter's in no position to continue or might get hurt, why didn't they just take the decision out of the ref's hands and get in the ring?
See Tyson-McNeeley, Barrera-Jones, etc.
THE REF DID WHAT? 😨

Gomez was 21-0-1 (21 KOs) and Zarate was 52-0 (51 KOs)
Best 122er vs the best 118er. Zarate beat the hardest puncher of the era (Zamora, 29-0, 29 KOs) but was no match for Gomez. A showing so violent a bad transfer and poor TV editing shields us from its full power. LEGENDARY.

"But then Fury landed a right that snapped Wilder's head back and drew gasps from the Vegas crowd." It was #OnThisDay, Fury vs Wilder III, and a rumble to remember. Check it out: thefightcity.com/fight-repor… #Boxing #History #OTD From @BoxinPhilosophy With full fight video!
When he invites US media to point out anything he said wrong, why doesn't anyone mention:
- he "knew" fight would be at MSG, but it's in UK?
- he would be the "lead promoter", but specifically NOT named at presser?
- Kellerman clarifying on air he'd only be "advising" Turki?
Dana White goes off when asked about Eddie Hearn’s appearance today on The Ariel Helwani Show and insists there is no confusion over his involvement in Fury x Joshua:
"There's absolutely zero confusion... Sounds like he's got an incredible lawsuit... I am producing the fight. I am promoting the fight. I will be there at the fight.
Everything that I have said about my involvement in the fight has been absolutely true. Anybody want to debate that? Anybody? Am I wrong?”
Top-tier shithousery from Eddie here.
Gonna leave this one here 🫳 🎤
Time to move on to the big stuff. 10 weeks today the biggest fight in British boxing history! Let’s gooooo #FuryJoshua 🇬🇧
Why even bother getting it removed if it carries no legal weight and can’t be enforced anyway?
Wait, is it because… 😮
Tyson Fury has revealed that it was originally in his contract that Dana White & TKO couldn't promote his fight with Anthony Joshua, similar to the clause that's in Joshua's contract for the fight, but he took it out ❌
The saga continues 😬
#FuryJoshua | #TysonFury | #AnthonyJoshua | #DanaWhite
"Demanded to dictate Dana couldnt be involved" = Has a legal contract stating rival promoter cannot not be involved.
"All while not funding event or providing media platform" = Company providing 1/2 of the fighters, without which show wouldnt exist.
Some crazy takes out there.
Fury-Joshua is now off, @EddieHearn has finally done it, he badly overplayed his hand, now has completely blown up the fight as all the "real powers" have now called off the fight.
Having the fight in the UK wasn't good enough for Eddie Hearn, he also demanded to dictate that @DanaWhite couldn't be involved, & dictate policy in regards to the entire event. All while not funding thee event, or providing the media platform, @Netflix.
George Pyne the founder & CEO of Bruin Capital that recently purchased 30% of Matchroom, has reached out to Excutives of Netflix, TKO, & SELA to offer his apologies.
George Pyne is now exploring legal options in regards to his company's recent investment in Marchroom.
If I were a high class guy like George Pyne, I would completely distance myself from Eddie Hearn & Matchroom.
Eddie Hearn owes the entire Boxing world an apology, especially @Tyson_Fury, @FrankWarren, & all the great British Boxing fans whom have long claimored for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua. Which would have been the biggest British fight of all time.
But now the biggest fight will be @FrankWarren being rightfully fuming mad at @EddieHearn. I would love to be a fly on that wall listening to Frank tee off on Hearn. My money is always on Frank, Old School to the core.
Wait till @SquawkCNBC sees this!
Please re-post this. Thank you.
1. Froch
2. Collins
3. Eubank
4. Benn
Ranking Benn lowest seems harsh; awesome fighter but head-to-head it's fair.
Almost nothing to split them though tbh, any could beat any other on a given day (don't think prime Benn gets W vs. Collins or Froch but... he could).
One of the ATG #BoxingQuotes.
Rocky Marciano puts in the work with trainer Charley Goldman, circa 1953. "I got a guy who's got two left feet," said Goldman, "[and] he don't look so good with the moves in the ring, but his opponents don't look so good on the canvas either." #Heavyweight #History #Boxing
