Tyson Fury made quite the impression on the American market in his stateside debut earlier this month.

Fury finished Tom Schwarz in the second round with a beautiful showing. Now, according to The Mirror UK, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, has admitted that “The Gypsy King” could return to the United States for his next bout as well. A debut at the iconic Madison Square Garden is looking likely.

Warren also noted that a September or early October date is being looked at as well:

“After Tyson Fury ’s hugely successful first fight in Las Vegas earlier this month, we’re now working on his next opponent in the US. It’s looking likely he will head to Madison Square Garden in New York, with the fight taking place in late September or early October. I’m hoping it will be finalized fairly soon and we’ll be in a position to make an official announcement.”

Fans are anticipating a rematch between Fury and Deontay Wilder soon. Apparently, that fight has already been agreed upon. However, each man will be taking one more fight before that happens. Wilder has already confirmed his next opponent will be Luis Ortiz, but a date or venue has not been announced.

Hopefully, both men can get through their respective contests unscathed, and boxing fans will get the fight they’ve been waiting for since December of last year.

Legendary heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko had a scary incident earlier this week.

Klitschko and his family needed to be rescued from a burning yacht in Spain. The Ukrainian Tweeted out the following message shortly after everything transpired:

“Be careful what you wish for: fate took my wish for “some #adrenalin” a bit too literally and our boat-trip Sunday night ended up in our boat #igniting and family & friends being evacuated by coast guard and fire rescue-team,” he posted. “No worries: we are all fine!”

He can be heard saying the following in the video:

“It’s 3 in the morning. We’re in the sea getting rescued from the Mallorcan/Spanish fire department, ” Klitschko could be heard saying in the video. “The boat was on fire, we’re hanging out outside.”

According to CNN, the incident took place at 2 a.m. on Monday when the yacht’s crew reached out for urgent assistance, according to Palma’s Maritime Rescue spokesman Miguel Chicon. Shortly after, the rescue boat, Salvamar Acrux, was sent out by the coastguard. The yacht was located a few miles southwest of Mallorca’s Port Adriano

After the yacht’s crew put out the fire, the rescue boat towed it to Port Adriano. Thankfully, no medical assistance was required for any of the yacht’s occupants:

“We called the firemen on shore, so they were prepared to assist in case there were other problems with the fire,” Chicon said. “At one point during the towing, smoke was coming up from the engine room, so the crew was evacuated aboard the rescue ship.”

Paulie Malignaggi was handed an indefinite sit on the Bare-Knuckle FC (BKFC) 6 medical suspensions, and it’s no surprise why.

Malignaggi recently took to Instagram to issue a statement on his loss to Artem Lobov in Florida this past weekend. He also shares some photos of his ridiculously swollen hands after the scrap. Here’s what he had to say:

“Life is sometimes about being adventurous and trying new things. Many thought I was crazy for trying my hand at bare knuckle combat and while unfortunately I may not have been born with very durable hands, it is still an experience I get to look back on and say I lived it. People have always had very little expectations of me in my life but I can proudly say I’ve always fought my way to a better life.

“In life we all have obstacles and I’ve always been driven most when faced with adversity. In the end, despite my brittle hands (4 surgeries on my right hand) I have been able to accomplish more as mainly a 1 handed fighter than most fighters accomplish with 2 hands. And I did it with no shortcuts and having fought some amazing fighters, travelled to some amazing places and met some amazing people along the way. You always wonder if as you get older you still have the ability to dig down when things get tough.

“After 2 rounds Saturday night I sat in my corner now knowing I would be a 1 handed fighter for the remainder of this fight and I am proud I continued on and showed myself I still had a willingness to dig deep when faced with adversity as I found myself once again in a familiar predicament of having a damaged hand with a determined opponent across the ring coming to rip my head off yet now I was competing in a new form of combat.

“I assure you its not an enviable position but I’m glad I stayed true to myself as a man and as a fighter in the moment and continued to fight despite having to obviously adjust my strategy. Respect to @rushammerwho always shows up to fight and give his best no mater what day or place or at what weight and respect to him for the fight on Saturday.

“Obviously I feel like I won the fight but that is in no way meant as a disrespect to him. I hope he can take the momentum he gained from this result and make plenty of money for himself and his family in his career . Here are some pics of my hands after Saturday nights fight.”

Following his unanimous decision loss to Lobov, Malignaggi slammed the “bush league” judging for the bare-knuckle contest. He also noted that he’s likely done fighting, although he admitted, had he won, he probably would’ve continued.
