TYSON FURY, OLEKSANDR Usyk and Joe Joyce gave us a glimpse of the heavyweight landscape for 2023 in the aftermath of Fury's 10th round destruction of Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Gypsy King retained his WBC world heavyweight title and Lineal champion status with a dominating display against a stubborn and incredibly brave Chisora.

During the traditional ring melee following the fight, Fury went nose to nose with Usyk on the ring apron and the pair were later joined by Joyce. Fury insisted that if Usyk does not unify early next year then Joyce would get his shot. Hopefully we get to see both fights by the end of next summer.

"What a crowd!" yelled Fury in his post-fight interview. "60,000 people at Tottenham, you are amazing and I am flabbergasted for words to say how much it means to me. It is overwhelming for me and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody.

"I felt good and I needed some rounds. I haven't boxed since April and I've had a retirement and I've had a lot go on. I felt like I was landing my jab and landing some good punches. Take nothing away from Dellboy War Chisora, he is an absolute warrior and it has been a privilege to fight him three times. He is a British folk hero.

"We've had three epic fights and what a tough man. I was hitting him with shots that would knock anybody else spark out and he stood up to every one of them. And he was calling me a little bitch in there!"

Chisora launched himself into the fight in typically bullish fashion before Fury found his rhythm, got his jab going and landed a couple of telling hooks. Fury was really in his stride come the second round and, after a spot of grabbing and holding, he ultimately began to use Chisora for target practice.

The Fury uppercuts were finding their spot and, as he does in times of trouble, Chisora took to the ropes and invited more punishment.

Both took a tumble in the third, but it was effectively one-way traffic and Chisora was shipping some serious shots and again showing his unquestionable bravery.

Chisora's legs twice looked unstable in the fifth as Fury continued to crank up the pressure. How the Finchley man withstood the onslaught, only he will know.

Chisora looked out on his feet at the end of the ninth and referee Victor Loughlin appeared to be urging his corner to call time. However, he still came out swinging in the 10th, but with about 10 seconds left the Scottish ref made a merciful intervention.

Daniel Dubois is still the WBA heavyweight champion of the world, but such a status looked heavily in doubt in the first round of his first defence against Kevin Lerena.

Dubois appeared on the brink of a shock defeat when, after being caught by the South African on the top of his head, his knee appeared to give way and he subsequently took three counts over the course of the round.

Following the instructions of Shane McGuigan, Dubois composed himself and cautiously eased his way through the next round before completing a remarkable turnaround in the third. Lerena was flattened by a clubbing right before, seconds from the bell, Dubois unleashed a barrage of shots, including a brutal left hook and right uppercut, and referee Howard Foster had seen enough, even though the bell sounded.

Denys Berinchyk is the new European lightweight champion following his defeat of Yvan Mendy over 12 rounds. The undefeated Ukrainian always appeared to be doing enough to edge most of the rounds despite being out of the ring for a year due to the invasion of his homeland.

Victor Loughlin scored the fight 117-112, with both Kieran McCann and Kevin Parker returning cards of 116-112. Berinchyk was accompanied to the ring by heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

The 22-year-old light heavyweight Karol Itauma made it seven stoppages from his nine wins as a pro with a late halting of the game Slovakian Vladimir Belujsky.

Chatham man Itauma, half Slovakian himself, outclassed the now Cork-based Belujsky and systematically broke him down with a particularly spiteful jab. Belujsky began to seriously wilt in the seventh round when a short right from Itauma started a sequence of punches that put the 27-year-old to the canvas.

He managed to see out the round, but further punishment inflicted by Itauma in the final round convinced referee Lee Every to call it off with 1.18 on the clock.

In a spectacular start to the evening, teenage prodigy Royston Barney-Smith applied another stunning finish to end the resistance of Cruz Perez in just over a minute. A sweet left hand counter put Perez to his knees and, despite protests, referee Mark Bates took a good look and waved the fight off with 1.02 of round one on the clock. The 18-year-old Barney-Smith moves to 4-0.

The early birds of the card, Isaac Lowe and Hosea Burton, both recorded victories over six rounds against Sandeep Singh Bhatti and Reinis Porozovs respectively.

Natasha Jonas claimed her third world championship in the Super Welterweight division - along with the Ring Magazine title - to undoubtedly stake her claim to being the best woman in the world at 154lbs, and one of the pound-for-pound greatest women on the planet, in her victory over Marie Dicaire at an electric AO Arena, Manchester and live on Sky Sports tonight.

Both women came into this fight as World Champions, and both showed world championship spirit in their performances, with Jonas taking victory by unanimous decision (100-90, 98-92, 97-93) over 10 hard-fought rounds. Jonas landed big shots from the first round and had her opponent hurt at multiple points across the fight, but Dicaire fired back and didn’t stop coming forward all fight, giving the unified champion a lot to deal with.

Dicaire showed no sign of slowing down in the final rounds of the fight, and pushed Jonas back up against the ropes and fired off ferocious hooks to the body. Jonas was forced to use all of her skill and boxing ability to handle the torrent of offense coming towards her in the second half of the fight. That skill and the rounds she claimed in the early portion of the fight was enough to secure the victory for Jonas on the judges’ scorecards.

Jonas, the first woman to fight for Team GB at the Olympics, failed to claim a World Championship on the first two attempts of career, but has shown stunning heart and determination to win three over the last 9 months, and has now established herself as the best fighter in the world at a weight class 24 lbs heavier than where she first fought for a world title.

“As a boxer you're never fully happy with your performance, it's why you keep developing, go back to camp and are getting better. But I won, she was No 1 in the division and I've firmly established myself as a super-welterweight champion," she said afterwards.

Full Undercard Results

Dalton Smith def. Kaisee Benjamin - UD (115-114, 117-112, 116-113)

British super-lightweight champion Dalton Smith retained his title in an even, well-matched fight that went the full 12 rounds. Kaisee Benjamin gave Smith a hard 36 minutes, being evasive and awkward from the first to the last bell, and finding moments to land on Dalton Smith with powerful shots. But Smith just did more, using aggression and speed to nick enough rounds to take victory.

The fight was a 12-round chess match between two massively talented fighters who could both be in big fights in the future. Both men neutralised a lot of their opponents offense, refusing to allow themselves to be hit with combinations.

Smith’s workrate was slightly higher across the 12 technical, highly-competitive rounds, but the elusive Benjamin’s head movement and occasional switches to southpaw allowing him to avoid taking significant damage.

This was an enthralling fight for educated boxing fans and both fighters staked valid claims to be competitors at the highest level.

Frazer Clarke def. Kamil Sokolowski - PTS (60-54)

Olympic Bronze medalist Frazer Clarke gained six educational rounds against the benchmark for heavyweight prospects in Kamil Sokolowski, who had to use every trick in the book to survive the heavy-handed man from Burton.

Clarke cycled through the gears well, picking up the pace in the second half of the fight and finding the target with his shots more often.

Clarke wove uppercuts into his offense effectively and managed to work around Sokolowski’s tight guard and tendency to tie up his opponent in the clinch, switching his offense to the body when the opportunity arose. Caught by very few punches during the fight, he deservedly won every single round on the referee’s scorecard.

This was a vital experience for one of the most exciting and charismatic heavyweight prospects in the UK in Frazer Clarke, who looks set to follow in the footsteps of similar Team GB Olympic Super-Heavyweight medalists Joe Joyce and Anthony Joshua, and reach the very top of boxing’s blue riband division.

Tyler Denny def. Bradley Rea - UD (95-94, 95-94, 97-92)

English middleweight champion Tyler Denny successfully retained his championship in a fight many predicted would steal the show, and delivered on that excitement. Denny oozed confidence across the fight, firing off shots at will and managing the range of the fight expertly, despite Bradley Rea’s size advantage.

However, in the 9th round, after dominance from Denny, Bradley Rea found a devastating right hand to the body that left Denny almost incapacitated in the ring, allowing Rea to fire off and come within seconds of finishing the fight several times. Denny survived that onslaught and went on to take victory on the judge’s scorecards.

After a tight 1st round, Denny had huge success in the 2nd with a clutch of brutal straight left hands that stunned Rea. Bar the pure carnage of the 9th, the defending champion never looked in trouble, generally being in control of the pace throughout the fight.

Rea showed great heart and didn’t give an inch in front of his hometown crowd, giving Denny a massive scare in the penultimate round, but came up short in the end. Bradley Rea took a huge step up in this fight, and at only 24 years old, he looks set to come again soon.

Viddal Riley def. Ross McGuigan - TKO Rd 3 (2:27)

Another impressive knockout victory for the talented and popular cruiserweight Viddal Riley to maintain his undefeated professional record. Riley walked down and stopped a taller, awkward opponent in Ross McGuigan.

Viddal pushed forward all fight long, but used a strong guard and evasive head movement to protect himself from taking any damage in the process.

Eventually he pinned McGuigan against the ropes, crunching a right hook to the body and then capitalising on that opening to knock McGuigan down with a looping, overhand right to the head.

Viddal Riley is one of the most exciting prospects in the UK at 200lbs, and looks set to win titles in 2023.

Jordan Ellison def. Dylan Cheema - PTS (39-38)

BOXXER Series winner Dylan Cheema suffered the first defeat of his professional career in a razor-close, action-packed four rounds.

Both men hurt their opponent multiple times in the fight, with one moment where both men landed brutal shots that rocked the other at the exact same time being a summation of the 12 minutes of carnage as a whole.

Jordan Ellison showed himself to be far better than his record suggests, and stood up to Cheema’s aggressive style and fast footwork. The fight could have easily been scored either way, but that only lays the path for a potential rematch over more rounds in future.

Clark Smith def. Dale Arrowsmith - PTS (40-36)

Clark Smith successfully moved to 3-0 in his professional career, still having failed to lose a round, in a measured, intelligent performance. Smith varied his offense across the four rounds of the fight, mixing long jabs with battering hooks to the body for a dominating performance against a veteran opponent in Dale Arrowsmith.

Smith pushed hard in the final round to find a stoppage, landing a lot of shots across the round, but had to settle for another flawless poins victory in front of his hometown fans.

Jack Kilgannon def. Meshack Mwankemwa - PTS (58-56)

Jack Kilgannon opened up the night’s action with a action-packed 6-round victory over an opponent who came to win in Meshack Mwankemwa. Kilgannon had success with his jab and worked in some powerful uppercuts in the first two rounds of the fight, but Mwankemwa kept coming forward with aggression, consistently launching clubbing hooks to the body and overhand rights.

This peaked in the 4th round where Mwankemwa landed a barrage of shots that left Kilgannon seriously hurt and reeling. After this Kilgannon smartly moved to a longer-range, boxing style, comfortably winning the last two rounds off the back of a disciplined jab and a well-deployed straight right hand.

The script underwent some last-minute changes. Janibek "Qazaq Style" Alimkhanuly   was supposed to blow out Denzel Bentley, but the London native had other ideas. Alimkhanuly made the first defense of his WBO middleweight world title with a unanimous decision (116-112 2x and 118-110) over Bentley on Saturday evening   at Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort.

Janibek (13-0, 8 KOs) controlled the early rounds, but Bentley (17-2-1, 14 KOs) turned the tide of the fight in the dramatic fifth round. He pushed Janibek to the ropes and laced the heavy favorite with right hands.

After a competitive 11th, Janibek nearly closed the show in the 12th, landing a series of straight lefts that wobbled Bentley.

Janibek said, “It’s boxing. Anything can happen in the ring. He came prepared. I respect my opponent because he was prepared. He was 100 percent, but I am a champion and I fought all 12 rounds as a champion.
 
“I am ready for any champion, for unifications. I am ready. Let’s fight."

Bentley, a two-time British middleweight champion, believed the fifth round marked the fight's turning point.

Bentley said, “I thought I was in the fight. In the fifth round, my coach told me we weren’t in front and to pick up the pace, so I picked up the pace.”

The rally proved too little, too late, as Janibek stemmed the changing tide and stamped his victory with a dramatic final round.

Estrada Retains World Title

After more than 300 days away from the ring,   Seniesa "Super Bad" Estrada   made her triumphant ring return, defending her WBA minimumweight world title with a one-sided decision over Argentina's   Jazmin Gala Villarino. All three judges had the bout a shutout, 100-90, and Estrada outlanded her foe, 210-121.

Estrada (23-0, 9 KOs) came back in fine form, keeping Villarino off balance by switching from orthodox to southpaw and back again. Villarino (6-2-2, 1 KO) hung tough and landed her share of clean shots, a phone booth affair that culminated in a toe-to-toe 10th round.

Estrada said, "It’s been an emotional week for me because it’s been 328 days since I’ve been in the ring. And I just want to tell all girls and all women in sports to always believe in yourself and always believe in what you can do and always go after what you want. I might’ve been slowed down, but I can’t be stopped. This is what I was born to do. This is the talent God has given me, and this is my destiny, and you cannot stop destiny.
 
“After 11 months, we were prepared for her to come in and win. I’m the best opponent she’s faced, and she wanted to defeat me. I was prepared to go 10 rounds or get the knockout.

“I shook the ring rust off, and I’m ready to go for unification fights and undisputed fights.”

In undercard action:

Lightweight: Emiliano Fernando Vargas (2-0, 2 KOs) KO 2 Julio Cesar Martinez (1-1, 1 KO), :47. The prodigy delivered. Vargas, the youngest son of former world champion Fernando Vargas, knocked out Martinez with a left hook in the second round, bringing the capacity crowd to its feet in his Top Rank debut. Vargas withstood an early charge from Martinez, who landed 11 of 45 punches in the opening round. In the second round, the vaunted Vargas left hook ended matters. The celebration began, and Vargas ran into the waiting arms of his father, who also serves as his head trainer.

Vargas said, "The dude was a sturdy guy. He came in there to fight. I know he prepared himself 140 percent, and I prepared myself 140 percent. I just had to listen to my corner, my father, keep on boxing, and the shots will open up. Just box beautifully."

Lightweight: Raymond Muratalla (16-0, 13 KOs) TKO 6 Miguel Contreras (12-2-1, 6 KOs), 2:23. Muratalla, one of the sport's rising lightweight contenders, used an educated right hand to grind down Contreras, a tough-nosed veteran from Bakersfield, California. After a right hand shook Contreras in the sixth, Muratalla unloaded. Contreras, defenseless in the blue corner, was saved from further damage.

Super Middleweight: Javier Martinez (8-0, 2 KOs) UD 6 Marco Antonio Delgado (7-5, 5 KOs), Scores: 60-54 and 59-55 2x. Martinez, a former U.S. amateur standout from Milwaukee, earned his fourth straight six-round decision with a workmanlike performance over the durable Delgado.

Junior Featherweight: Floyd Diaz (8-0, 3 KOs) TKO 4   Edgar Joel Cortes (9-7-1, 1 KO), 1:14. "Cash Flow" notched his second knockout in three fights, knocking Cortes down with a right hand in the fourth round. Cortes beat the count with time to spare, but referee Mike Ortega deemed Cortes unfit to continue and waved it off.

Lightweight: Charlie Sheehy (5-0, 4 KOs) TKO 1 Markus Bowes (2-1, 2 KOs), 1:37. Sheehy overwhelmed Bowes in 97 seconds, knocking down the North Carolina native with a right hand a little more than one minute into the opening stanza. Bowes rose to his feet on wobbly legs and Sheehy pounced to earn the stoppage.

Lightweight: Karlos Balderas (14-1, 12 KOs) TKO 8 Esteban Sanchez (18-3, 8 KOs), 1:02. Balderas, a 2016 U.S. Olympian, earned the most significant victory of his career in knocking out Sanchez, a native of Tijuana, Mexico. Balderas dropped Sanchez with a right hand in the opening round, and in the eighth, a right cross prompted referee Raul Caiz Jr. to stop the fight. Sanchez pushed Balderas in the middle rounds, but he was losing via shutout on all three scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

Heavyweight:   Antonio Mireles (6-0, 6 KOs) KO 1 Eric Perry (5-1-1, 5 KOs), 2:26. "El Gigante," a southpaw from Des Moines, Iowa, let the left hands fly in a one-round destruction over the previously undefeated Perry. Mireles landed a plethora of lefts that had Perry stumbling into the ropes, but it was a right hook that planted the Georgia native onto the canvas for the 10-count.

WBA Light heavweight champion Dmitry Bivol put on a stellar performance defeating mandatory challenger Zurdo Ramirez in front of a sold out arena in Abu Dhabi this past weekend.

SAM NOAKES IS back in search of a perfect 10 when he makes his return at the 02 Arena on November 26 after making his recovery from a broken thumb, live on BT Sport.

Thrill-a-minute lightweight Sam was due to fight back in July before a sparring injury sustained while working with Archie Sharp put him on the missing list.

Now he is set to fight for the Commonwealth title against the unbeaten Scot Calvin McCord on the undercard of the big Zach Parker-John Ryder clash for the WBO Interim world super middleweight title.

"Camp was going well and I was sparring Archie," reflected Noakes, 25. "I think it was the seventh or eighth round, right at the end, and I switched through, misjudged the distance and hit him on top of the head. I thought 'that hurt', then I carried on, hit a few jabs out and it was still hurting.

"So I stopped and they took my hand out of the glove and my thumb was wedged underneath. I went to the hospital and, after the x-ray, she called me straight in. I thought 'this ain't good' because normally you are just sat there if it is not urgent and they just leave you there.

"I had snapped it with a clean break. At least you know where you stand with a clean break, it is sweet now, but it was a pain in the ar*e at the time and I wasn't very happy!

"So I've been out for eight months and I'm an old has-been now... All forgotten about."

"I've fallen on my feet here though, having the Commonwealth title, so I am happy with that."

Noakes resisted the temptation of becoming a couch potato during his absence and hit the road to keep in trim.

"As soon as I got the solid cast on I was running straight away. If I had sat about eating when I came back I would be a middleweight! So I kept ticking over and I was lucky to only have it on for about four weeks. When it came off I was pushing weights and I was happy just to be back in the gym.

Tickets for Zach Parker vs John Ryder for the WBO Interim Super-Middleweight Championship at The O2 are on sale now, available from   axs.com.

Jake Paul

 

“It’s a surreal moment. Hard work pays off. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Anderson. He was my idol growing up. He inspired me to be great. He was the first celebrity I ever met. Without him, we wouldn’t have had a fight this year. He’s a tough mofo. A legend. I have nothing but respect for him. This just goes to show that anyone watching at home, chase your dreams. It’s never too late. I started boxing two-and-a-half years ago as a pro and just beat one of the greatest ever because I’m obsessed with this. I go so hard every single day. Nothing can get in my way. No distractions. And if you’re watching at home, it doesn’t matter if you have talent, it doesn’t matter if you have anything, you just have to work your ass off and you can accomplish your dreams. This should just go to prove that because I met Anderson when I was 13 years old. If you’re 13 years old watching this, go get it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.

 

“We were just fighting in the clinch and he got caught on the way out. He took so many hard shots throughout the whole fight. The dude is a real dog. You see what happens to everyone else that gets hit with that. He’s the toughest guy in the world but I just wanted it more. I’m a real dog and I left it all in the ring.

 

“They’re going to find something to say. ‘Fight a real boxer.’ I tried. If I were walking on water, people would say that I can’t swim. There’s always going to be haters. There’s always going to be critics. It’s an everyday part of life if you’re doing something and being successful. I don’t worry about it.

 

“This is just the start. I want Nate Diaz. Canelo, you too. You guys said, ‘You can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva.’ I just did it. So why can’t I beat Canelo?”

 

Anderson Silva

 

“I worked hard to put on a special show for everybody here. Thank you to everyone for coming. That’s the game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But nothing will change in my life. I’ll continue training hard because I’m born for this. Now, I go back home, continue training and see the next challenge.

 

“I think the judges got it right. Listen, it’s tough to come inside here and fight a young kid. I tried to do my best. I trained hard every day. Jake is better than me today. I don’t have anything bad to say about my opponent. I think everybody needs to respect this kid because he’s doing the best job. I trained hard. I’m a warrior.

 

“Absolutely, I’m going to continue fighting. Nobody can stop me except God.”

With a potential undisputed lightweight title showdown on the line, former three-weight world champion Vasiliy "Loma" Lomachenko   had to dig deep. While it wasn't the dominant performance many expected, Lomachenko rallied in the late rounds to edge   Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz   (16-1-1, 8 KOs) by unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112 and 117-111) Saturday evening at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Ortiz came out firing his jab in the opening round, as Lomachenko sustained some bruising under his right eye. Lomachenko stunned Ortiz momentarily in the third round, but the underdog hung tough and was even on two scorecards and ahead by two points on the other at the fight's halfway mark. Two of the judges had Lomachenko sweeping the final six rounds in a tale of two fights. Lomachenko outlanded Ortiz, 125-122.

Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) will now look towards a potential super fight with undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney, who was seated ringside to scout his potential foe.

“I’m happy. I’m happy to come back in the ring and make this a great show," Lomachenko said. "Thank you to my fans for the support. You know what motivated me. Four belts!

“Look, I’m ready. I’m ready for any option.”

Midway through Lomachenko's post-fight interview, he was joined in the ring by Haney, who also welcomed the challenge.

Haney said, “I think it wasn’t the best performance, but I know if me and Loma were to fight, we’d see a better version on the night. Congratulations, and hopefully we can get it on.”

Added Top Rank chairman Bob Arum: “The fight to make in the lightweight division is Haney versus Lomachenko, and we will do everything we can to make the undisputed championship showdown that all fight fans want to see. They are the world’s premier lightweights, and it would be a fantastic battle.”
 
"El Tren Rolls On

Robeisy "El Tren" Ramirez (11-1, 7 KOs) wants a featherweight title shot, and he may get it soon. The two-time Olympic gold medalist steamrolled late replacement Jose Matias Romero (26-3, 9 KOs) via ninth-round TKO to retain his USBA and WBO Global belts. Ramirez had his man his trouble in the first and seventh rounds, but the Argentina native refused to relent. In the ninth, Ramirez uncorked a left hand that staggered Romero and ended the one-way carnage.

Ramirez outlanded Romero in power punches, 129-32, including a 19-3 advantage in the ninth round. He is now targeting a featherweight world title shot in early 2023.

“We know that Matias is a fighter who is slick, who knows how to survive inside the ring, and that was his plan. I hurt him early, but then we tried to get him out early. And then, Ismael Salas, who is my strategist… he is a chess master. He’s moving the pieces in there, and finally we were able to do it properly and get him out of there," Ramirez said. “I think the result speaks for itself. I got the stoppage, sent a message, and in the end, if {Emanuel} Navarrete is no longer the champion at 126 pounds, if he’s fighting Oscar Valdez for the championship at 130 pounds, then I got next at 126, and I want that belt.”

In undercard action:

Heavyweight: Richard Torrez Jr. (4-0, 4 KOs) TKO 3 Ahmed Hefny (13-3, 5 KOs). In the evening's final preliminary bout, Torrez joined his Olympic teammates in the win column. After a second-round stoppage and a pair of first-round knockouts to start his pro career, Torrez saw the third round for the first time. Hefny was knocked down with a left hand in the second, and the onslaught continued in the third until referee Arthur Mercante stepped in.

Featherweight:  Duke Ragan (8-0, 1 KO) UD Luis Lebron (18-5-1, 11 KOs), Scores: 79-73, 78-74 and 77-75. U.S. Olympic silver medalist Ragan did what he does best, which is to use his well-schooled defense to offset his hard-charging foe. Lebron, the Puerto Rican power puncher, was never deterred, if not effective. The Garden crowd booed the verdict, but Cincinnati's Ragan did more than enough to seal the victory on the judges' cards.

Middleweight: Troy Isley (8-0, 4 KOs) UD 8 Quincy Lavallais (14-4-1, 9 KOs), Scores: 80-72 2x and 79-73. Isley passed his first eight-round test with flying colors, nearly shutting out Lavallais, a six-year pro known for his iron chin.

Junior Welterweight: Tiger Johnson (6-0, 4 KOs) UD 6 Esteban Garcia (15-2, 7 KOs), Scores: 60-54 3x. Johnson's three-bout knockout streak ended, but the Tokyo 2020 U.S. Olympian gained much-needed experience in going the six-round distance for the first time in his career.

Middleweight: Nico Ali Walsh (7-0, 5 KOs) UD 6 Billy Wagner (5-3, 1 KO), Scores: 58-56 2x and 59-55. Ali Walsh received a lot of resistance from Montana native Wagner, who weathered an early storm and even appeared to stun the grandson of "The Greatest" at the end of the second round. Wagner could not sustain his early success, as Ali Walsh pressed forward in the final two rounds to secure the narrow victory.

Lightweight: Abdullah Mason (5-0, 4 KOs) TKO 4 Angel Barrera (4-1), :21. Southpaw sensation Mason, from Cleveland, Ohio, fought well beyond his years with a methodical and devastating beatdown of Barrera. Mason notched a pair of knockdowns in the third round, the first coming courtesy of a straight left hand. Early in the fourth, a sweeping left compelled referee Johnny Callas to wave off the fight.

Junior Lightweight: Haven Brady Jr. (8-0, 4 KOs) UD 8 Eric Mondragon (7-1-1, 4 KOs), Scores: 79-73 2x and 78-74. In a battle of unbeatens, Brady authored the most significant win of his career, picking apart the California-born Mondragon with an assortment of jabs and uppercuts.

Ashton Sylve

 

“That’s the thing when you have a long training camp, you want to show that in the ring right here. So when I came out here, I wanted to get him right out.

 

“Arizona is lit. I did this for my people back home in Long Beach. This is lit.

 

“I’ve got to go back and talk with the team. But hopefully, I can come back over here. This crowd was incredible. Hopefully, we can do it again. I can fight again this year. First round KO. I can go a few more rounds, come back here and put another show on.

 

“I love the movie Minions. But at the same time, it’s inspirational. You never would think the Minions do what they do. And I don’t think people would think an 18-year-old would come out here and put a performance on like this with a veteran, experienced fighter.

 

“I’m speechless. I grew up under the spotlight, but this is something else. I’m ready for whatever comes next and I’m loving life right now.

 

“I don’t care who comes next. I just want the belt. There is nothing I want more than that right now.

 

“To all the fans out there, thanks for the love.”

 

Alexandro Santiago

 

“I feel so happy. I want to thank the fans for making me feel right at home and cheering for me.

 

“This motivates me even more to keep getting better and be considered among the great Mexican fighters representing our country right now.

 

“Bring on any of the champions! If I had to choose, I would pick Inoue or Nonito Donaire. In fact, I would love to fight Nonito.

 

“In our first fight against each other, it was my big debut in the United States so it was a different fight than what you saw tonight. I envisioned that it was going to end this way. I didn’t want it to go to the judges. I’m going to be even better trained for my next fight.

 

“I want to become the champion of the world so I want to fight the best. The best that are out there in my division, I want to fight them.

 

“Yes, this was the biggest win of my career so far. It feels great. This was the biggest card I’ve fought on and it was just great fighting on this event here tonight.”

 

Mansour Barnaoui(20-4) defeated Adam Piccolotti(13-5) via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:51 of round two

“I did exactly what I wanted to do, and I won.”

“I was coming to BELLATOR to make the tournament and win the belt.”
 
“I really would like to make the tournament and fight against Usman [Nurmagomedov] or [Patricky] Pitbull.”
 
“Things are incredible for me. First, many family and friends came here to watch me. Even the player, [AC Milan’s Ismaël] Bennacer​​. I was very happy to meet him. It gave me a lot of energy.
 
“He tried to put me immediately on the ground but I was able to stop him. I do what I already think about. But it's working, because my training was exactly on this because we knew he wanted to put me on the ground.”
 
“I just want to say thank you for coming and supporting me and continue to follow me because the show is not finished here.”
 
“I really don’t care who will win or who has the belt. I’m ready to fight the winner, to beat him, and to take home the belt.”
 
“I’m very happy. I would really like to be in Paris at the next show, and I would like to fight in Paris for the belt.”
 

#2- Fabian Edwards(11-2) defeated Charlie Ward(10-5) via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

“He was just saying how much he respects me, and I was saying the same thing to him. I’ve trained with a few of his coaches. So yeah, just sharing our respect for one another.”
 
“[Leon Edwards] He's so proud. Obviously he put a lot of hard work in so it’s been a good successful year for the team. We’ve had some tough performances but we’ve come out on top in the end so it’s been a good-good solid year for Renegade team so yeah he’s over the moon.”
 
“It’s only right. We’ve got a lot of guys from Birmingham; a lot of talent, a lot of skill. So, let’s hope they bring it back.”
 
“I’d give it like a five [out of ten]. What would you give it? It was alright. Like I said, the thing that Charlie had was that he was tough and was gritty. There’s not a lot of guys in the division that would have ate that head kick and kept their wits about them. So fair play to Charlie. He gave me a good test tonight and I appreciate that test.”
 
“It wasn’t enough in my opinion, but we’ll see what they say. I’m here. My brother says ‘Let’s keep on racking up the wins and they can’t deny you.”. Not every single performance can be an elbow to a ground and pound finish or a flying knee or an upkick. Sometimes you have to go in there and do what you have to do to secure the win and I learned that tonight.”
 
“I reckon controlling the distance a bit more. If I didn’t rush in and was busier with my kicks, it would’ve been a perfect performance. I’ve been in this game for a while, but not as long as some of these other guys. I’m learning.”
 
“Anybody who’s ever beat me in anything, of course I’d like to get it back. That’s even a fight I did ask for. But we’ll see what BELLATOR wants to make. I’d love to entertain that fight again.” [On potential rematch with Costello van Steenis]

Tim Wilde(14-5-1) defeated Saul Rogers(15-5) via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“Thank you. I agree; I felt like he slowed down considerably after the first round. I was able to time his shots. Not only his takedowns, but his striking. He definitely was weaker in the second and third rounds, but he’s certainly the strongest opponent I’ve fought. I definitely thought I won the second and third rounds.”
 
“Leon is a very good friend. He’s a teammate, he's a role model, he’s a mentor, he’s a coach. He's ‘Mr. I Can Do It All,’ that’s his nickname at the gym. He's such a nice guy. I’m very fortunate. He doesn't do it for everyone but I’m very fortunate that he will invest a tiny bit of his time into me and I think because my results have spoken for that over these last few fights and I’m very grateful to him. It’s an honor to have him in my corner and he makes me dig deeper and fight hard.”
 
“It would mean the world. There’s so many talented fighters in the whole of the U.K. With Leon being a world champion, eyes are on Birmingham and Birmingham MMA. And I just had another Fight of the Night. I think they should change my nickname to Tim ‘Fight of the Night’ Wilde. I would love for BELLATOR to come back to Birmingham.
 
“Yes certainly I would love to get on BELLATOR Dublin. I always go into my fights looking to finish my opponent if they give me an opportunity and you know I think people would be surprised that I didn’t put Saul away with some of the shots I landed. His nose was badly, badly broken. He was cut open to bits. I have to give him massive credit and respect. He’s tough. I was looking for the finish. I wanted to make a statement tonight. I wanted to get on the microphone and tell John McCarthy that I wanted Scott Coker to consider me for the lightweight tournament next year. I believe that beating Saul should prove I am the number one lightweight in the UK.”
 
“I’ll hit you with everything that I can, legally. I’ll throw backhands, I’ll throw spinning things, I’ll karate chop you. I’m flashy, I’m exciting. Saul’s a high-level grappler, but I ain’t scared to wrestle with these guys. I’m working with Leon Edwards every week; I’m doing the work Leon’s doing, and it’s paying off.
 
“Mate he has a squeeze on him, but I was safe. There wasn’t any gargling. There was no panic. Listen, he likes to jump on the neck. We’ve drilled everywhere; Peruvians, d’arce, rear nakeds. Man, I'm sick of defending chokes. Listen he obviously felt he could get them, he went for them, but I wasn’t in danger.”
 
“Not so much the power — I know he caught me a couple of times. But like, he was strong and got a big squeeze on him. He had a big presence. I’d be curious what he weighed in there. He had a very big feel, but I grapple with a lot of grapplers that are tighter and have more compression than he had.”
 
“Leon, he's an amazing MMA fighter, he's a champion, he’s a great teammate. He's going to be a great coach one day. He's so calm in the backstage and fight week. The experience he has and has learned over the 15-16 years of fighting and training he shares that with you. He feels you with confidence and puts you at ease. When you go into war with Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards in your corner you feel pretty good.”

#8- Justin Gonzales(14-1) defeated Andrew Fisher(19-9-1) via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

“This has been fun. This place is a beautiful place, these are beautiful people. I’d definitely like to come back and show the world what’s up.
 
“I felt some of those shots and you can tell at the end of the fight that he kind of wanted out of there but he’s a tough son of a bitch. He’s gritty. I knew he was going to be tough and hard to put away so much respect to him. I tagged him with some hard ones and he kept fighting.”
 
“We put in the work. We worked on a lot of different things. I felt this was the best my hands, my striking looked in a long time, maybe ever. My cardio felt great. And look at the results. If I had another 10-15 seconds, I think I do get that stoppage.”
 
“That’s a tough question because there’s so much movement in this division. There’s a lot of people. I want to make my way to the belt. I think I still got to earn it so shit man give me [Pedro] Carvalho, give me [Daniel] Weichel, give me [Mads] Burnell. I don’t care, I’ll take all of them. They can all get it.”
 
“It was a long flight. Longer than I’d like, but it’s just part of the game. I got to come to Italy. If you want to travel, you have to be able to recover. Thanks BELLATOR for getting me out here. I feel like I recovered very well because of the great camp I had; I think this is one of the best weight classes I’ve ever had.”
 
“Just keep growing. I think if I can keep with my performance like this. There’s a couple things I saw and I didn’t do but if you go to a job and you don’t need to unload the whole truck, you just need to unload one tool and that’s all you got to use, then so be it. If that’s all you got to do to get the job done. I took him down, I could have taken him down more but I honestly didn’t have to so I’m happy with that. I’m going to take a little break, spend some time with my family and my friends and just kind of rest. Let my body heal and I’m back to the gym man, back to the drawing board. If you’re not growing in this sport, you’re getting passed so we’re continuously growing, continuously adding things to our arsenal. We’ll see what’s next."
 
“He was just kind of smiling at me. I don’t think it was any disrespect. I felt those shots tagging him. I was just letting him know, ‘That was a good one!’ He tried to shake it off, but we both knew. That was a good one.”
 
“Right now I don’t have anything on the books, but I just saw the BELLATOR vs. RIZIN card is getting put into effect. I’d like to go show the world what’s up, let them know what J-Train is all about so I don’t know if Coker wants to put me on that or not.”
 
“I don’t see how they could. I think Kai Kamaka was a tough opponent; I put him down. Andrew Fisher was on a six-fight win streak; I derailed him. I don’t think they can deny me a ranked opponent, especially after a performance like that.”

Uriah Hall

 

“I just told Le’Veon that I have so much respect for him. It’s such a hard thing to do, to switch careers. He’s a professional football player and for him to step outside of his comfort zone to do this – it’s the toughest sport in the world. I don’t care who you are. This is the toughest sport in the world. I give him so much props. I’m proud of you, man. This should make you understand that it’s a hard road and I promise you, if you keep going you’ll make it.

 

“He definitely surprised me. He’s pretty good. I do think he has a spot in this career. Obviously, this sport is mental. But for him to stick with his jab to the body, I didn’t know if he was trying to set me up, but he was very consistent with it. He was strong, man. I got cracked a couple times and I was like, ‘Holy s---.’ But I had to keep it together. I’m proud of him, man.

 

“I was surprised I won because this is MMA and boxing. The judges are different sometimes. It’s hard when you leave it up to these people who don’t really know you. I didn’t want to leave my career in the hands of people who don’t know me. So my job was to come out here and try to finish him. Unfortunately, I can’t leave it in the hands of other people. I can’t do it. This is my career. This is my life. This is my paycheck.

 

“F--- yeah I want to keep boxing. I want Jake Paul. I want his frosty ass. I’m the dude that’s going to come out here and expose him. If Anderson doesn’t do it, I’m going to be the one to f--- you up.”

 

Le’Veon Bell

 

“I thought I did OK. That’s a great fighter right there. I think he got the best of me.

 

“All the credit goes to him. I watched film and I think there are some things I would do differently now like following up with my hands a little more. But he did a great job.

 

“He didn’t hurt me. I’ve been playing football so I’m used to getting hit pretty hard.”

 

Chris Avila

 

“Props to Dr. Mike for taking the fight. I don’t have any bad feelings towards him. I’m glad I got the win but I would have liked to get the finish. It was a four-round fight, so I had to get the work in. He’s a tough guy, so props to him.

 

“I don’t fight at 185 pounds. I’ll come back to 168. So whoever wants it come and get you some. Who’s next? [Chad Ochocinco] can get it. Any of these guys can get it. I’m not going to say any names but any UFC fighters that are locked into your contracts out there, get out and I’ll give you some. Anybody can get it. Any boxer. Anybody.”

 

Dr. Mike Varshavski

 

“Probably just a lack of experience and I was trying to multi-task a little out there. But overall it’s a great experience. I got a beautiful check for the Harlem Boys and Girls Club for $175,000 so looking to move forward and do it again and get some wins.

 

“He never really hurt me. I got hit in the back of the head a few times, so that was different. Otherwise, just need a little more experience in the ring. Hitting the canvas wasn’t going to happen. I’m a tough Russian guy from Brooklyn.

“What’s next? We’ll see what opportunities come my way. I’m excited to get back out there and do it again.”



TICKETS NOW ON SALE! 

 Lopez-Pedraza, Anderson-Jerry Forrest, Zayas-Alexis Salazar and Davis-Juan Carlos Burgos will be broadcast LIVE on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT following the Heisman Trophy Ceremony

In what will be a sensational heavyweight doubleheader, the WBC and lineal world champion Tyson Fury will defend his crown against long-standing rival Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, December 3 on a night where WBA world champion Daniel Dubois will make a first defense of his belt against South African southpaw Kevin Lerena, exclusively on BT Sport Box Office (UK) and available in the U.S. on ESPN+.
 
Fury, who intends on fighting Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed championship in the first part of 2023, will once again perform on UK soil following his April knockout of mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
 
Promoted by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, in association with Top Rank, this will be the third meeting between Fury and Chisora. They first met in July 2011 with the British and Commonwealth titles at stake, and Fury prevailed by unanimous decision.
 
“I am thrilled to be delivering a Tyson Fury world title defense in front of the British fans in London,” said promoter Frank Warren. “Tyson clearly conquered America across his trilogy with Deontay Wilder and there is also huge demand to stage his fights from sites across the world.
 
“Tyson wanted to fight in his home country again this year following his special night at Wembley Stadium in April. This brings us to the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a match against an old rival in Derek Chisora.
 
“Derek, also a big favorite with British fans, has reinvented himself in recent years and Tyson has long stated his wish to fight him for a third time.
 
“Tyson can’t afford any slip-up in this fight as he has the much-publicized undisputed match-up with Usyk in the New Year which we’re really looking forward to.
 
"I am also delighted that we have added Daniel Dubois to the card with a first defense of his WBA belt against Kevin Lerena. It makes it a real heavyweight night, and Daniel represents the best of the new generation coming through."
 
“Whenever Tyson Fury fights, it is a major event, and I expect him to once again put on a spectacular show for the fans,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “There are talks about what’s next for Tyson, but the first order of business is a battle against an extraordinarily tough fighter in Derek Chisora."
 
Todd Kline, Chief Commercial Officer, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “Our stadium has firmly established itself as a leading venue in London for major sports and entertainment events.
 
“The AJ-Usyk fight in front of a record crowd here in Tottenham was a truly an unforgettable spectacle and we are extremely excited to bring World Heavyweight Championship boxing back to N17 on December 3.
 
“The World Cup break leaves us in a unique position of having no Spurs action at the stadium between November 12 – December 31 - what better way to satisfy the demand for world-class live sport before the Premier League returns.”
 
In between Fury fights, Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) challenged for the WBC title and gave a good account of himself against Vitali Klitschko in Munich, before entering into a grudge match at West Ham United’s Upton Park against another British rival in David Haye.
 
He rebuilt from those setbacks by winning the WBO International, European and WBA International titles in a five-fight winning streak, setting up a return fight with Fury that took place at London’s ExCel Arena in November 2014.
 
In recent years, Chisora has been involved in two close encounters with Dillian Whyte and one with Usyk, while defeating Carlos Takam, Artur Szpilka and David Price. Last year, he lost a pair of tight affairs with Joseph Parker.
 
His last fight was an exciting points victory over former world title challenger Kubrat Pulev in July.
 
Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) remains an undefeated champion and completed his remarkable return from the boxing wilderness with a resounding rematch victory over Deontay Wilder in February 2020, with the Bronze Bomber saved by his corner in the seventh round.
 
A trilogy battle followed eight months later, which delivered a Las Vegas thriller where Wilder was put down in rounds three and 10 and Fury down twice in round four before knocking out the former WBC ruler in the 11th.
 
The 25-year-old Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs) seized his world title belt in June when he travelled to Miami and demolished previous champion Trevor Bryan, inflicting a first defeat on the American via a fourth-round stoppage.
 
Lerena (28-1, 14 KOs), 30, is a recent addition to the heavyweight ranks, having established himself as the IBO world cruiserweight champion, making six defenses of the title. At heavyweight he has recorded victories over contenders Patrick Ferguson, Bogdan Dinu and Mariusz Wach.
 
Tickets for Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora for the WBC & Lineal Heavyweight Championship of the World at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium go on general sale at noon tomorrow (Friday, 21 October) from   ticketmaster.co.uk.

Please note, this will be an open-air event with a likelihood of winter conditions at the time of year it is taking place. Ticket purchasers are strongly advised to wear appropriate clothing on the night as all seating within the stadium is outdoor.
 
Doors for the event will open at 5 p.m.
