Drugs cheats are a "disgrace" and should be banned from boxing for life, says IBF world featherweight champion Josh Warrington.

 

Sheffield's Galahad was given a backdated two-year doping ban in 2016 that was later cut by six months.

Billy Joe Saunders WBO super-middleweight title fight against Serbia's Shefat Isufi has been moved to Stevenage's Lamex Stadium on 18 May.

 

 

Tyson Fury will face German heavyweight Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on 15 June. Looks like the rematch with him and Wilder would be next year.

Ireland's Katie Taylor will have the chance to become undisputed lightweight world champion when she fights Delfine Persoon on 1 June.

 

The two belt holders will meet on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's fight with Jarrell Miller in New York's Madison Square Garden.

 

Undefeated Taylor, 32, holds three of the four titles with Persoon in possession of the WBC belt.

 

The Belgian has lost just once in 44 professional bouts.

After Saturday's fight, I would think that now is the time for Amir Khan to retire.

Yep agreed, he's on an impossible-to-get-out-of downward spiral much like Haye was last year. Call it a day son no one cares anymore....

He was supposedly punched in the groin, it was more near his hip.

Undisputed world cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has pulled out of his heavyweight debut against Carlos Takam because of a biceps injury.

 

Ukrainian Usyk, 32, was due to face Takam, 38, in Maryland on 25 May before sustaining the injury in training.

British boxer Luke Campbell will fight Ukraine's Vasyl Lomachenko for the vacant WBC lightweight title.

 

WBO and WBA lightweight champion Lomachenko, 31, stopped Briton Anthony Crolla in the fourth round to defend his titles in Los Angeles last month.

Belfast boxer Michael Conlan has apologised to "the people he offended" by a ring entrance song which contained lyrics supporting the IRA.

 

He was criticised after the Wolfe Tones' Celtic Symphony, which includes the line "Up the Ra", was played before his St Patrick's Day bout in New York.

 

"I misjudged the reaction and to the people I offended I definitely apologise," said the featherweight.

 

 

 

 

Bulgarian heavyweight Kubrat Pulev has been ordered to take sexual harassment prevention classes after kissing a female journalist, according to reports in the US.

 

The 38-year-old kissed Jennifer Ravalo when she was interviewing him after a fight in California in March.

 

Ravalo's lawyer Gloria Allred said his actions were "unwelcome and unlawful".

Deontay Wilder will face a hearing after the World Boxing Council said his comments about death in the ring are "against the spirit of our sport".

 

The WBC world heavyweight champion has faced criticism for stating he is "trying to get a body on my record".

 

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said the comments were "regrettable" and against the organisation's ethics.

 

Wilder, 33, made the comments in the lead up to Saturday's bout with American compatriot Dominic Breazeale.

Billy Joe Saunders won the vacant WBO world super-middleweight title with a unanimous points victory over Shefat Isufi at Stevenage's Lamex Stadium.

 

The former WBO middleweight belt holder joined the list of two-weight world champions in dominant style, showing punch variety and classy movement.

 

The 29-year-old was briefly wobbled by a right hand in the sixth round but found poise again to capture the belt.

 

Judges scored the fight 120-108 117-111 118-110 in favour of the Englishman.

Josh Taylor claimed his first world title with a points victory against Ivan Baranchyk in the IBF super-lightweight title bout in Glasgow.

 

 

Whatever you think of Wilder as a boxer, he has amazing speed and power. Not sure Joshua would have got up from that punch...

True but then AJ wouldn't have been struck by that punch in the first place. Breazeale looked way out of his depth right from the off.

 

It's really quite tiring with all this pussyfooting around between the "big 3" now, no-one cares about whoever Fury & AJ are fighting next. I think Whyte deserves another shot against one of them though, he's come on leaps & bounds since his defeat to AJ...

Anthony Joshua's fight on Saturday. Should be a comfortable win for him.

Anyone else unfortunate enough to watch the Hughie Fury fight on Saturday night on Channel 5, it wasn't the best that's for sure.

Andy Ruiz Jr has beaten Antony Joshua in a 7th round stoppage! Antony Joshua has lost the IBF, WBO and WBA world heavyweight championships, I never in a million years would have thought that Joshua would lose this fight and now the plans to face Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder have been messed up now.
