Although it was a rare off weekend for the UFC, combat sports fans weren’t left without any action, as it was actually quite an exciting weekend for the sport of boxing.

Last night, WBA (Super), WBC and IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin returned to action, taking on Vanes Matirosyan in the main event of an HBO televised card from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Although he was originally set to take on Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in a much-anticipated rematch, it was a successful night for “GGG”, as he made quick work of Matirosyan, finishing the fight in the second round.

No. 4-ranked UFC light heavyweight contender Jimi “Poster Boy” Manuwa may not return to the Octagon for his next fight.

After knocking out Corey Anderson in London last month, Manuwa expressed interest in a UFC title shot, but also expressed interest in a boxing match with fellow countryman David Haye. According to the “Poster Boy”, all parties are ‘planning on making it happen’ and that includes Manuwa, Haye and UFC President Dana White:

“I spoke to David Haye today (Wed., April 26, 2017),” said Manuwa in a recent interview with BJ Penn Radio.. “I spoke to him last week when I was in Vegas with Dana [White], and Dana liked the numbers—what can be generated through this event. We’re planning on making it happen. David Haye is out and about walking, he’s back walking now after his injury. We’re doing everything we can to make it happen.”

Manuwa has said that a fight with Haye could take place on the undercard of a potential Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor event. If that fight happens, however, it may take place in September, which may be too early for Haye, who’s recovering from an injury:

“Possibly,” added Manuwa. “But we’re big enough to do our own card as well in London. It depends when the Conor – Floyd fight happens. If it’s in September I think that would be too early for David Haye. I think he’ll be ready November or December. So a September card would be too early for him. We’ll see what happens. We’ve got options.”

Chisora Slapped With Fine and Indefinite Ban by WBC for Slap On Klitschko, Brawl With and Death Threat to Haye


(Boxing: Making MMA fans since 1996)

The World Boxing Council yesterday handed down a stiff punishment to heavyweight Derek Chisora for what they have termed “one of the worst behaviors ever by a professional boxer” in the months and days leading up to and the hours after his February 18 championship bout with Vitali Klitschko in Munich.


(Boxing: Making MMA fans since 1996)

The World Boxing Council yesterday handed down a stiff punishment to heavyweight Derek Chisora for what they have termed “one of the worst behaviors ever by a professional boxer” in the months and days leading up to and the hours after his February 18 championship bout with Vitali Klitschko in Munich.

Besides the usual smack talk, Chisora not only slapped the champ’s face at the weigh-ins the day before the fight, he left the dais at the post-fight press conference and bum-rushed David Haye. When Haye got the better of him in the ensuing exchange, the infuriated  Zimbabwe-born, UK-raised fighter declared that he was going to get a gun and kill the brash British fighter for “glassing him” with the Corona bottle he was holding when he dropped Chisora.

In actuality, the bottle never made contact with Chisora’s face, but the neck would have reinforced Haye’s fist like a roll of quarters.

Here’s part of the statement released last night by the WBC:

 The WBC is absolutely condemning behaviors that are not to be accepted in boxing under any circumstances and will act as soon as it can proceed to impose the fines and sanctions as we consider necessary.

The WBC is imposing a serious fine to be finally determined after the hearing to be held under the supervision of our counsel representative attorney Stephen Beverly , the WBC will also take off from the WBC rankings, the name of Derek Chisora and declare an indefinite suspension against fighting again for a WBC title, while demanding Chisora to take an anger management medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered.

Klitschko addressed Chisora’s seemingly escalating antics back in 2010:

“It’s not about getting me angry. It’s about the behavior of this man. The way he was raised was probably questionable. The way he behaves himself — that he bites in the fights the ear a couple of times that I saw,” Klitschko explained. “He beats up his girlfriend who cannot punch back. Chisora as a fighter, I think he’s talented and I think he’s better than David Haye. Chisora as a person, I think he is garbage.”

Can’t say we disagree.
