“That Ukrainian guy gives you PTSD”: Derek Chisora Reveals Why Oleksandr Usyk Gives Him PTSD

By
Oleksandr Usyk

Oleksandr Usyk is arguably the greatest heavyweight of the modern era. The Ukrainian holds two wins each against the likes of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Usyk is also the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

Chisora, set to take on Otto Wallin in Manchester this weekend, spoke on the Ariel & Ade show ahead of his contest and made some interesting comments about Usky, claiming that he gets PTSD from the 38-year-old

Chisora said:

That Ukrainian guy gives you PTSD. He made my young brother [Joshua] cry on the stage, he made Tyson Fury retire. Nobody can deal with him. I sat down with him a couple of weeks ago. I asked him where he lives now, he said: ‘Ukraine. Yesterday my security told me to go in the bomb shelter but I said ‘no’. Rockets are flying past my house but me, I sleep’.

– Derek Chisora

He added:

When he’s telling me this story, I ask myself, ‘What do you have to have to beat him?’ The guy is lying down and rockets are flying past his house. While you’re in your big house in Knightsbridge where the only problem you have is taxis beeping outside your door. How do you beat a guy like that? You have to have craziness.

– Derek Chisora

Oleksandr Usyk last fought in December 2024 and earned his second win against Tyson Fury. Any news regarding Usyk’s potential return date is yet to come.

Watch As Jake Paul ‘Exposes’ Canelo With Damning Evidence About Fight Talks

By
Canelo Alvarez Jake Paul

Jake Paul has ‘exposed‘ former unified super middleweight world champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in a video posted to his social media by claiming the two had a signed contract for a fight that they were going to announce on the 11th of February.

Paul’s claims come a day after it was announced that Canelo had signed a four-fight deal with the Saudi’s, with Terence Crawford being lined up for September later this year.

Sources told ESPN’s Mike Coppinger on Thursday that Canelo and Paul were finalising a deal to fight on the 3rd of May in Las Vegas. However, it was then later revealed that that fight was off, and the Mexican would instead be signing a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh, all-but ending the hopes and dreams of a shock Canelo vs Jake Paul fight.

Jake Paul Responds to Canelo’s Four-Fight Deal

The deal ended The Problem Child’s hopes of fighting the Mexican

The YouTuber-turned-boxer wasted no time in going after the 34-year-old. He posted a video to his X account at 2:29am GMT on the 8th of February, mere hours after Canelo’s announcement. Paul started the video off by calling his possible future opponent a puta, before a clip of the Mexican is shown, where he claims: “He only fights real fighters and not YouTubers.”

The video then cuts back to Paul, who says: “Time to expose him.”

Paul then shows what he claims to be a signed contract between himself and Canelo: “Here you can see Canelo’s signature, my signature to the right, claiming he’s not fighting YouTubers. Bulls***.”

Paul continues: “Look at the poster. We were announcing Tuesday, February 11th. Claiming he fights real fighters, but he’s fighting Crawford, a 135-pound fighter and running from a real fighter like David Benavidez, you b****.

“The truth is, you can be bought, you’re a money-hungry squirrel, chasing your next nut. The truth is, these sports washing, shady characters are paying you hundreds of millions of dollars to stop our fight from happening because they couldn’t fathom the fact that they can’t create a bigger fight than me and you.”

Paul also said: “Remember you told my team that your daughter came home and asked if you were fighting Jake Paul, she was all excited. You said that was the first time your daughter ever asked you about a fight, and you’re screwing over all your Mexican fans by doing your fights in Saudi. It just shows what type of person you are, and I promise you one thing, Canelo. Any fight that you do this year, mine will be bigger.”

Paul will now have to move on from Canelo and look for a different opponent for his next fight. The 28-year-old last fought Mike Tyson on Netflix back in November.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Back on Track as Turki Alalshikh Brings Twist in the Tale

By
Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez Turki Alalshikh

It’s understandable. Given its scale, the despair would be widespread. It’s not every day that one gets an opportunity to see two pound-for-pound best boxers in the world settling for a momentous clash.

For a little while, it appeared that the fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez was a done deal. But bad tidings weren’t far. It became clear – the September clash between the two former undisputed kings has been scrapped.

New developments have been unfolding. Perhaps the most prominent being a potential Cinco de Mayo matchup between Canelo Alvarez and Jake Paul. However, a few reports suggest it may not be all over with the Canelo-Crawford duel. Hopes received a major boost when fans came across a few cryptic messages from HE Turki Alalshikh, Alvarez, and later, Crawford. So fans can keep their fingers crossed. There’s power in faith. Given the nitty-gritty of the interaction, their patience might be rewarded with some good news.

JUST IN: “It’ll Shock The World”: Terence Crawford Officially Announces Who He Will Fight Next

“Don’t mess with the lion 🦁… 4 fights for Canelo with Riyadh Season … ” wrote HE Turki Alalshikh. The two sides even appear to have reached an agreement. Using the laws of the jungle as a metaphor, the Riyadh Season head emphasized that strong, confident people don’t worry about what insignificant people think of them. The real challenge isn’t the environment or the circumstances, but the powerful individual within it, HE Alalshikh added further.

Canelo Alvarez couldn’t have disagreed with the powerful message. The Nebraskan southpaw appeared a bit more circumspect. “I’m waiting on Canelo in September and going to shock the world in Riyadh Season!” he said.

The Ring magazine updated a few details about the Canelo-Riyadh Season deal. “Turki Alalshikh has revealed a four-fight deal between Canelo Alvarez and Riyadh Season is done. Alalshikh has also shared that the first fight will be held in Riyadh in May,” read the esteemed publication’s post.

As it laid out further details about the matchups that extend up to October 2026, perhaps the one that must have caught the maximum attention would have been the second fixture. It was clearly mentioned. “Big fight in Las Vegas vs. Terence Crawford in September.” So the fight is still on the table.

Given the overall confusion, one could take some help from Mike Coppinger‘s tweet. Shedding light on what may have transpired, the boxing insider shared that Canelo vs. Jake Paul was nearly confirmed, but not quite done. However, “Canelo Alvarez has instead closed a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season to salvage the Terence Crawford mega fight in September.”

But what happens to Jake Paul? ‘The Problem Child’ may have already fired the opening shot! According to Coppinger, for the May fixture, two options – Jermall Charlo and Bruno Surace – are currently being looked at. Then after the Crawford epic, for the two remaining bouts potentially scheduled for 2026, Alvarez may begin with a rematch against Dmitry Bivol. Later he could pick either Hamzah Sheeraz or even Chris Eubank Jr.

So fans need not lose heart. As much as they take delight in fixed schedules, the phase preceding the fights may often appear chaotic and often boring.

‘Canelo Ducked Me & Is An Owned Slave’ Jake Paul Lashes Out After Losing Canelo Fight To Saudis

By
Jake Paul Canelo Álvarez

The Saudis are apparently going to war with Jake Paul. On Thursday afternoon, it appeared that Paul had a deal in place to fight Canelo Alvarez in May.

News of the Paul-Alvarez fight apparently annoyed Saudi backer Turki Alalshikh, who reportedly stopped negotiating with the Mexican superstar on other potential deals if he fought the YouTube star-turned-boxer.

Via The Ring

According to boxing insider Michael Coppinger of ESPN, Turki Alalshikh – Head of Riyadh Season and the General Entertainment Authority – is “suspending efforts” to finalize a lucrative three-fight deal with super middleweight world champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

As previously reported by The Ring, an agreement was in place for Canelo to defend his super middleweight crown against Terence Crawford on a September date at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fight with Crawford would have been the first bout of this agreement.

Coppinger indicates that Canelo and Crawford signed term sheets after agreeing to a deal – and that the Mexican star’s decision to move forward with a planned fight against social media star Jake Paul is the potential cause for the fallout in finalizing the multi-fight pact

On Friday morning, Alvarez had a last-minute change of heart, and announced that he would be signing a four-fight deal with the Saudis and would not be fighting Paul.

 

An annoyed Paul took to social media to fire shots at Canelo for aligning himself with the Saudis.

“Breaking news: Canelo Alvarez ducked me Jake Paul and is now an owned slave with no regard for the pride of the Mexican people who support him on US soil. it’s not surprising when his whole career he has done nothing for the sport of boxing outside the ring. I’m the new face of boxing. You cannot have the biggest fight of 2025 without my name involved. When all of your events tank and lose money you will all realize who the king of the sport is. 28 years old. Biggest fight in boxing history. My own boss. Not owned. 5 years in. All of you felines want to see me fail, but god has other plans. It’s the era of good. The era of the elephant. It’s the era of MVP.”

“It’ll Shock The World”: Terence Crawford Officially Announces Who He Will Fight Next

By
Terence Crawford

Numerous conflicting reports this week have left fans confused about when and who Terence Crawford will be fighting next.

The four-division world champion was last out in August of 2024 when he made his debut at super-welterweight, beating Israel Madrimov to win the WBA title. Post-fight, he immediately resumed calling out Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez, an exercise he had started almost a year prior after becoming undisputed at welterweight with a victory over Errol Spence Jr.

Though Canelo was initially dismissive of the fight, claiming he would get no credit for beating a smaller man in Crawford would have to come up two divisions for the challenge, talks progressed well this year.

In fact, it was reported that both men had agreed the fight for September in Las Vegas before The Ring magazine – owned by Turki Alalshikh, the man putting the fight together – announced this week that talks had collapsed and it was off the table.

Canelo was then linked with a bout against controversial fighter Jake Paul in May, however late last night Alalshikh announced a u-turn and that he has indeed struck a four-fight deal with Alvarez.

“Canelo in Riyadh in May. The biggest fight in the history of boxing in September. Then two more fights in 2026. Don’t miss, with the lion.”

Crawford then finally broke his silence on it all, confirming he will face Canelo later this year, taking no fight in the interim.

“I’m waiting on Canelo in September and going to shock the world in Riyadh Season!”

Fans will hope that the contract saga is over and done with, and will look forward to an announcement as to who Canelo will face in May. As for Crawford, he will now be working on packing on the pounds for the weight jump.

Paige Spiranac probably gives many wives and girlfriends a little angst.

The golf influencer and model has built up a huge following across social media with her many provocative looks and Tiger Woods hot takes, while having the game that most amateur golfers, and many professionals, would envy, like bombing 287-yard drives nonchalantly.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Claudette Montana on Super Bowl LIX radio row, where Spiranac has had to fend for herself, the 31-year-old former San Diego State Aztecs star revealed why the tables were turned when she met the 15-time major winner GOAT, who of course is morning the loss of his mother Kultilda.

After talking about playing with LIV Golf star and two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, Montana asks Spiranac who from professional golf she’d still want to play with.

“Well of course Tiger Woods,” Spiranac said. “He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life. He smells so good by the way… Like that was the first thing I noticed.”

Montana follows up with, what does he smell like?

“Success,” Spiranac joked. “I never smelled him before, and it was incredible. So I would love to play a a round of golf with him.”

Then the golf influencer, with 4 million Instagram followers, mentions Phil Mickelson, who has blocker her on social media for some reason.

“Phil Mickelson would obviously be such an interesting experience, I feel like,” Spiranac said. “I’d like to play a round with him. But he has to unblock me first for that to happen. We can make amends and play some golf.”

Given Spiranac was wearing a T-shirt for the interview that read, “I just hope both teams have fun,” Mickelson should take her up on the offer.

Rory McIlroy takes on new job in unexpected link-up with LIV golf rival Bryson DeChambeau

By
Rory McIlroy Bryson DeChambeau

Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are set for a rare reunion as stars in Happy Gilmore 2. The sequel to the popular film will feature the golf rivals alongside fellow professionals Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas.

Adam Sandler will reprise his role as Happy Gilmore, a failed ice hockey player who takes up golf but has an extremely unconventional style. The 1996 story is set to be continued with Happy Gilmore 2 released later this year.

It has now been revealed that several current golf stars will make prominent appearances in the movie. The PGA’s McIlroy and Thomas will have prominent roles alongside LIV Golf’s DeChambeau and Koepka.

NFL icon Travis Kelce will also make an appearance. Golf fans have been told to expect to see the likes of McIlroy pop up frequently during the film.

Co-producer Chad Munn revealed: “We had so many professional golfers and legends of the game come out to be in the movie and I think people will be really surprised by how much they’re in it.”

Hollywood actor Chris McDonald – who plays Gilmore’s nemesis Shooter McGavin – did not divulge too many details about the film. However, he revealed what it was like to shoot with golf’s best stars.

“I can’t really talk too much about it because it’s under wraps, but it’s going to be awesome,” McDonald said.

“So much fun to shoot with new faces. Travis Kelce was in it. But that said, it’s got the quintessential Adam Sandler touch. He’s back. Of course, Julie Bowen is back. Yours truly, Chris McDonald, and a lot of new faces.

“But it’s got so much heart and so much humour that it’s going to, I think new generations are going to eat it up because it’s a rare and beautiful thing, and Netflix went above and beyond at making it the best.”

Last week, McIlroy bagged his 27th PGA Tour title and his first on the famous Pebble Beach course in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The world No. 3 is hoping to end a decade-long wait for a major championship this year.

“There’s a few what I would call ‘cathedrals of golf,’” McIlroy said afterwards. “Here, Augusta, St. Andrews, obviously. Maybe a few more you could add in there. And I had a big fat zero on all of those going in here. So to knock one off of Pebble is very cool.”

Tiger Woods shares insight into family life with children after tragic passing of mother

By
Tiger Woods Charlie Woods Sam Woods

Tiger Woods opened up on the close bond his children Charlie and Sam shared with their grandmother Kutilda following her passing on Wednesday.

Woods announced the death of his mother in a statement to his social media followers, and in doing so revealed the love she shared in both his life and that of his children. “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” he wrote.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.

“She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, prayers, and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom.”

Woods was seen in public with his late mom just last week after she was seen in the crowd of the 82-time PGA Tour winner’s TGL victory for Jupiter Links over Boston Common, as was his son Charlie. Kutilda’s was announced just hours before the latest TGL match between Boston and Los Angeles got underway at the SoFi Center.

Following the news both teams showed their respects by holding a minute silence before the start of play in the SoFi Center. The 15-time major champion’s TGL co-founder and rival Rory McIlroy paid tribute to Kutilda, also known as Tilda, on the back of the match in Florida.

“Yeah, obviously very sad, sort of surreal. She was here last Monday night. Yeah, it seemed sudden,” McIlroy said. “I got to know Tita a little bit. She was always very warm, very courteous, and generous with her time. Yeah, it was always a delight to see her at tournaments.

“As time went on, you sort of saw her less and less, and you’d bump into her in player dining and it was always nice to see her. She always had a big smile. Yeah, you obviously feel for Tiger and Sam, and Charlie and wish them all the best. Yeah, it’s a sad day.”

Tilda had played an important role in the phenomenal career of her son, drawing a tribute from the PGA Tour and commissioner Jay Monahan. “The PGA Tour family is saddened by the passing of Kultida Woods,” Monahan said in a statement.

“Those of us who have been lucky enough to have a firsthand view of Tiger Woods’ career know how much both his greatness and his humanity have stemmed from the love and support of his mother. We will cherish our memories of her and our thoughts are with Tiger, his children Sam and Charlie, and their entire family as they mourn her loss.”

Fans Demand Canelo Faces One Man Next As Terence Crawford Fight Is Now OFF

By
Canelo Alvarez Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford was all set to move up two weight-classes to challenge unified super-middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez.

Though the fight has previously seemed unrealistic, the two pound-for-pound stars entered talks this year and looked to have made excellent process on the mega fight.

However, the Ring Magazine, owned by Turki Alalshikh who was putting the fight deal together, has now reported in unequivocal terms that the fight is off.

Fans Demand Canelo Faces One Man Next As Terence Crawford Fight Is Now OFF

JUST IN: Hearn Denies Joshua’s Next Fight Is With Wilder Or Bakole

While fans wait for the reason in talks breaking down for a fight that reportedly had both a date and venue, many took to social media to urge the Mexican to finally face David Benavidez.

Benavidez – whose stock and pulling power has never been higher – has moved up to light-heavyweight after failing to secure his shot at Canelo when competing at super-middle. After winning his debut in the division via decision against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, earlier this month he came out on top of a stern test in the form of hard-hitting Cuban southpaw David Morrell.

The victory saw Benavidez leave the ring with both the WBC Interim belt and the WBA Regular title, putting him in prime position for a fight against the winner of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol later this month.

There is the potential for a trilogy there if Bivol, who previously beat Canelo, can come out on top against undisputed champion Beterbiev at the second time of asking. With it being well known Canelo wants to avenge that defeat, what better way to earn it than beat number one contender David Benavidez, and tick off a dream fight for fans in the process?

Hearn Denies Joshua’s Next Fight Is With Wilder Or Bakole

By
Anthony Joshua Deontay Wilder

Eddie Hearn has denied reports that Anthony Joshua’s next fight has been agreed with either Deontay Wilder or Martin Bakole. 

Joshua is expected to make his return to the ring in the summer. He is coming off the fourth defeat of his career after Daniel Dubois knocked him out in the fifth round. Joshua hit the canvas three times on his way to the stoppage defeat. There were negotiations over a rematch, but talks broke down as Dubois chose to face Joseph Parker. Dubois will face Parker on February 22. Joshua has been linked with a fight against Wilder for some time.

Talks initially began in 2018 when the fight could have been for the Undisputed Heavyweight Title. Joshua held the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, whilst Wilder held the WBC title. Reports indicated that Wilder’s team made a $50 million offer. Once again, talks broke down as both fighters moved on. Joshua would lose his belts, eventually to Oleksandr Usyk. Meanwhile, Wilder lost his WBC belt to Tyson Fury. Joshua and Wilder were meant to face off last year. They had signed a two fight deal.

JUST IN: Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford fight CANCELLED amid Jake Paul link

This was dependent on Joshua and Wilder winning their next fights. Joshua defeated Otto Wallin, but Wilder came up short against Parker. He then chose to face Francis Ngannou, and Wilder took on Zhilei Zhang. Joshua stopped in Ngannou, but Wilder lost to Zhang, reducing the demand to see that fight. But following Joshua’s defeat, a fight with Wilder could make sense.

Joshua’s Future

The other alternative is a fight with Bakole. Bakole is consistently on record, stating that he has hurt Joshua in sparring. He secured the biggest win of his career when he stopped the-then undefeated Jared Anderson in his last fight. Bakole is expected to fight in May in his next bout. There were reports that a deal with Joshua had been agreed for a fight in Africa. Hearn has now dispelled any rumors of a Wilder or Bakole fight, leaving questions over where Joshua goes next.

Eddie Hearn Didn't Hesitate When Asked If Anthony Joshua Has Now 'Signed' To Fight Martin Bakole - Seconds Out

“The latest one that someone sent me on Saturday, saying, ‘Anthony Joshua vs. Martin Bakole is done, signed.’ We have not had one conversation about that fight. I’m not ruling it out, by the way, but it’s never even been a conversation. So, I don’t know where that came from. I saw one last night, ‘Wilder-Joshua is done for June 7th.’ [And] I’ve not had one conversation about that fight.

“[And] I spoke to AJ for the first time yesterday in a few weeks, and he’s actually in real good spirits. I think Martin Bakole is a very good fighter, but don’t get carried away that this is the new George Foreman. It’s always been the two – Tyson Fury – who is retired at the moment, we’ll see how long that lasts, and the winner of Dubois-Parker,” Hearn said of Joshua’s ideal next opponent,” Hearn said
