The 2020 thread here to discuss all things boxing related with upcoming fights, news and debate in the world of boxing.

Tyson Fury says he will never get a judges' decision in his rematch with Deontay Wilder and his desire to knock the American out was one of the reasons he dropped trainer Ben Davison.

 

Fury, 31, will fight WBC heavyweight title holder Wilder on 22 February in Las Vegas

Anthony Joshua's next fight is likely to be at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.

 

The British heavyweight, 30, who defeated Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia in December, is expected to take on Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in June.

Undefeated British heavyweights Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce will face each other in their native London on 11 April.

 

Olympic silver medallist Joyce, 34, and British, Commonwealth, WBC Silver and WBO International champion Dubois, 22, will meet at the O2 Arena.

World featherweight champion Josh Warrington has split with promoter Frank Warren and joined Eddie Hearn.

Tyson Fury says he will have to knock out Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas to avoid a repeat of the judging controversy of their first fight.

 

The British heavyweight, despite hitting the canvas twice, believed he had won their enthralling December 2018 WBC contest, declared a draw.

 

"I believe I out-boxed him," said Fury, who fights Wilder again on 22 February.

American lightweight Ryan Garcia needed just 80 seconds to knock out Nicaragua's Francisco Fonseca as he secured a brutal win in California.

 

Unbeaten Garcia, 21, caught Fonseca with a left hook to the head to send him to the canvas and secure his first-round victory in Anaheim.

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will not face off at Friday's weigh-in as organisers of their rematch move to prevent any possible on-stage clash.

 

Fury, 31, and WBC world heavyweight champion Wilder pushed one another at a news conference before their 2018 bout.

 

They did so again at a news conference on Wednesday, when organisers were left frustrated by the time it took for security to intervene.

I think Wilder will beat Fury in the tenth round.

Well I was wrong, Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round.

Any potential BATTLE OF BRITAIN (AJ V FURY) must take place at Wembley or other uk venue, staging this fight outside the uk would be an absolute disgrace to British boxing fans imo.

Deontay Wilder has blamed his elaborate ring-walk costume for his WBC heavyweight title defeat by Tyson Fury.

 

The American, 34, said his costume was too heavy and as a result he "didn't have the legs" for the fight.

Rematch between Wilder v Fury should it happen?

Has to be one of the worst excuses I've ever heard in Sport. Fury shouldn't waste anymore time with this "dosser"

As expected Wilder has accepted a rematch with Tyson Fury for the third time this summer according to promoter Bob Arum.

British former WBA super-bantamweight champion Scott Quigg has retired from boxing following his defeat to Jono Carroll.

Dereck Chisora will fight unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight bout on 23rd May at the O2.

UK Anti-Doping is to investigate a farmer's claim he was told to lie in support of a high-profile case involving world champion Tyson Fury.

 

Fury and his cousin Hughie tested positive for a banned steroid in February 2015, blaming the result on eating uncastrated wild boar.

 

A farmer said he was offered £25,000 to say he sold the meat to 'Team Fury' - but promoter Frank Warren called this claim "a load of rubbish".

Britain's Galal Yafai and Peter McGrail qualified for Tokyo 2020 with unanimous points victories at the Olympic qualifying event in London.

 

Yafai beat Russia's Rasul Saliev in the 48-52kg category, while McGrail defeated the Czech Republic's Kevin Godla in the 52-57kg category.

 

Earlier, Briton Charley Davison moved to within one win of the Games.

 

The event, taking place at the Copper Box Arena, will be suspended after Monday night's session.
