    And it’s over. Surprisingly no KO for a Floyd Mayweather. And this is an exhibition so there is no official winner. Crowd not happy. Floyd warned y’all and called this event a legalized bank robbery #MayweatherPaul

    Usyk raises Ivan Mazepa’s authentic saber after his win over Fury, a tribute to the legendary Hetman who fought for Ukraine’s freedom and unity against Russia 300-plus years ago. The 17th-century saber traveled to Riyadh from Ukraine, where it is normally preserved at Chernihiv

    Can’t write Deontay Wilder off after one loss. We need to change this boxing culture that suggests you’re damaged goods if you aren’t undefeated. We complain when fights matching the best aren’t made, yet as a sport, disrespect a boxer if he loses. AJ bounced back. So can Wilder

    CONFIRMED: The rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury is a done deal, as Wilder himself just announced. Looks like it will take place in the early part of 2020. First PBC-Top Rank co-promotion since Mayweather-Pacquiao in 2015. I expect a joint PPV, but remains to be seen

    .@BooBooAndrade just interrupted @Canelo’s presser to demand a fight and what a wild scene it was! Andrade was escorted by security as Alvarez repeatedly said “get the fuck out of here, you’ve fought nobody” while laughing. Never seen this much emotion from him #CaneloSaunders

    What do you know about being a fighter? You just “fought” a 58-year-old coming off a major medical event and now fighting someone who hasn’t scored a meaningful win since 2012 who is fresh out of rehab. This won’t help you sell tickets …

    I’m going to fire MVPs head of production if he ever has the fighters come out before the “promoters, host, etc.” - they keep saying Canelo and Crawford legends….treat them like so then

    Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin have agreed to a deal for a PBC PPV fight in late spring/early summer for Tank’s WBA lightweight title, sources tell ESPN. Davis’ legal trouble sidelined him the second half of last year, but now he’s back vs. a legitimate top 10 lightweight.

    Ryan Garcia tested positive for the PED Ostarine the day before and the day of his upset win over Devin Haney, per a VADA letter obtained by ESPN. Garcia has 10 days to request his B-sample be tested. A-sample also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone but unconfirmed.
