While he did look far improved compared to his showing against Ngannou, he came up short on the scorecards and relinquished his status as champ. Fury will have a chance to get revenge and claim the undisputed throne in October when in a rematch with Usyk.
Paul redirected his energy to facing boxers with more experience, after suffering a decision loss to Tommy Fury in 2023, with the goal of being ranked by a sanctioning body and eventually challenging for a world championship. He followed the traditional boxing track for two bouts — knockout wins over journeymen Andre August and Ryan Bourland — before he pivoted back to a fight against Tyson.

L’ancien champion du monde de boxe Anthony Joshua a donné des informations assez précises sur son prochain combat. Parlant à talkSPORT, Joshua a déclaré que son prochain combat aurait lieu le 20 ou le 21 septembre au stade Wembley à Londres. AJ a révélé qu’il y avait quatre noms potentiels…
Wilder, rated at No. 9 by The Ring at heavyweight, claimed bronze at the 2008 Olympics before he turned professional and won his first 32 fights inside the distance. He outboxed Bermane Stiverne (UD 12) to win the WBC title and made ten successful defenses.
On the 20th February, 1999, Felix Trinidad defended the welterweight championship against the already legendary defensive fighter Pernell Whitaker. Whitaker’s career may have been coming to an end but he was still a force to be reckoned with and it took a much younger, much stronger Felix Trinidad to be the first to comprehensively defeat him. Felix Trinidad winning by unanimous decision 117–111, 118–109 and 118–109 on the judges scorecards.
George saw something different. Back in Jersey, George worked to fine-tune Zhang’s skills. Chin tucked lower. Hands held higher. “At the same time, not change him so much where he doesn’t know how to use his feet,” says George. “Because he’s actually really quick on his feet. But you guys don’t know yet. He has pretty good hand speed, but you guys are actually just noticing now.”
In 1997, Tyson infamously bit a part of Evander Holyfield’s ear off during a fight. The move cost Tyson both the fight and his boxing license, though he was later reinstated. It was one of the most bizarre moments in boxing history, and one Tyson would be remembered for the rest of his career.
– Wilder wciąż ma czym uderzyć, poczułem kilka jego ciosów, ale po prostu okazałem się lepszy – mówi Zhang Zhilei (27-2-1, 22 KO), który do bogatego CV dorzucił w sobotni wieczór nazwisko Deontaya Wildera (43-4-1, 42 KO).
In October 2017, Tyson was announced as the new face of Australian car servicing franchise Ultra Tune. He took over from Jean-Claude van Damme box in bing.com fronting television commercials for the brand, and the first advert aired in January 2018 during the Australian Open. However, the ad was quickly attacked, even leading Tyson himself to describe it as “a little sexist.”
“Tyson stands for power, explosiveness. Holyfield’s mind is just unbelievable,” said Zhang. Zhang had first been acquainted with sports at 13 years old as a canoeing athlete, but switched to boxing at 15. “I just liked fighting,” said Zhang.
Picking up where he left off in their first fight, a confident Zhang flattened Joyce with a right hand toward the end of the round in front of the Londoner’s home crowd. The win and the manner in which he delivered it might earn Zhang a world title shot in 2024.
“I am from Brooklyn, but my parents are from here,” Berlanga told Metro in 2018 while in Puerto Rico. “I feel 100 percent Puerto Rican. My family, almost all of it, lives here on the island and I want people in Puerto Rico to know that I am working very hard to become another important figure in boxing.”
Zhang, a native of China who is based in New Jersey, stopped Joyce in six rounds in their first encounter in April, one month before his 40th birthday, and then followed that up with an even better finish in their rematch at OVO Arena Wembley in north London.
According to Forbes, Tyson competed in 58 fights during his professional career. His official record is 50 wins and six losses, with two no-contests. Of his victories, 44 were via knockout. Tyson won his first 37 bouts before his memorable first loss to Buster Douglas in February 1990.
“It’s very disappointing. First couple of rounds he got it right and he was moving left. Then he went toe-to-toe and got caught. If he continued to do what he was doing past five or six rounds then it would have been interesting. He got caught with a really good shot.
“I think it will be a tough fight because both are big punchers. The open question for me is how Deontay deals with a big southpaw like Zhang? For some reason my gut feeling tells me Zhang will win by KO and end the career of Deontay Wilder.”
