Tyson Fury: Let's Face It, Wilder Hasn't Really Fought Anybody
By Keith Idec
It didn’t take long Tuesday for the attention to turn toward Deontay Wilder.
A press conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was held to promote Tyson Fury’s fight against Francesco Pianeta. The Italian veteran is a huge underdog, though, a big man considered little more than a tune-up for Fury before he challenges Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title in November.
John Rawling, the moderator of Tuesday’s press conference, asked Fury about securing that opportunity by beating Pianeta on Saturday night at Windsor Park in Belfast.
“I’m gonna correct you there, John – if I come through this, Wilder has a chance to fight me for the lineal championship,” Fury said. “Let’s face it, he hasn’t really fought anybody. He has 40 fights and it is what it is. But we’re not here to talk about Wilder at all. Wilder may as well be a million years in the future. I’ve got to concentrate on this man here in front of me, and I’m sure he wants to take my glory away from me and cash that check.”
The 32-year-old Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) produced the most impressive win of his 10-year pro career in his last fight. The knockout artist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, overcame serious trouble in the seventh round to knock out previously unbeaten Cuban southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs, 2 NC) in the 10th round March 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Wilder will watch England’s Fury fight Pianeta from ringside Saturday night as part of BT Sport’s broadcast team. The Wilder-Fury fight is expected to be announced in the ring if Fury defeats Pianeta (35-4-1, 21 KOs), a 33-year-old southpaw who has lost by knockout or technical knockout three times.
The 30-year-old Fury (26-0, 19 KOs), who’ll fight for the second time since ending a 2½-year layoff, won’t make the mistake of looking past Pianeta. The former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champion expects Pianeta to at least try to win, which is more than he could say for Sefer Seferi, the first opponent in his comeback June 9 in Manchester, England.
“I study my heavyweights,” Fury said. “I know he’s fought some good men. He had a very good winning spree, 28-0 when he fought [Wladimir] Klitschko [in May 2013]. I’m not underestimating Francesco. I know he’s a very big guy, a big, strong fella. And he knows if he wins this fight then he could go on to fight Wilder instead of me. So it’s all to play for. And in heavyweight boxing, you take your eye off the goal for 10 seconds, you’re out of there.
“So I know what to expect. I expect him to bring his best performance and his ‘A’ game, and he’s gonna come and try and knock me out, because that’s what they all try and do. But hopefully he won’t be successful. We’re gonna put on a great show, entertain the fans and have a great fight with Francesco.”
Showtime will stream Fury-Pianeta as part of a doubleheader on its YouTube channel Saturday (4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT). In the main event, Belfast’s Carl Frampton (25-1, 14 KOs) and Australia’s Luke Jackson (16-0, 7 KOs) are set to fight for the WBO’s interim featherweight title.

Antonio Tarver Arrested For Domestic Battery in Florida
By TMZ
Former world champion Antonio Tarver was arrested Monday for domestic battery, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 49-year-old was taken into custody in Florida around 7 PM -- he was booked and spent the night in jail. He was released around 7 PM Tuesday evening.
According to his booking sheet, Tarver was listed at 6'2" and 225 lbs. Bond was set at $1,000.
The details surrounding the arrest are unclear. We're working on it.
Tarver has had a history with the law -- he was arrested back in 2014 stemming from an unpaid gambling debt at the Wynn hotel and casino in Vegas.
Tarver was one of boxing's biggest stars a decade ago -- winning multiple belts and chalking up impressive victories over stars like Roy Jones Jr.
He also starred as Mason "The Line" Dixon in the 2006 "Rocky Balboa" motion picture.
Tarver (31-6-1, 22 KOs), now 49 years old, has been out of the ring since 2015, when he fought to a draw with Steve Cunningham.
After a solid run at light heavyweight, Tarver's career took a turn for the worse at cruiserweight and heavyweight.
He fought to draw with Lateef Kayode in 2012, but afterwards it revealed that Tarver tested positive for a banned steroid and the contest was overturned to a no-decision. Tarver suffered a suspension.
He returned the following year as a heavyweight. Two fights later, when he fought to a draw with Cunningham, it was revealed afterwards that Tarver once again tested positive for a banned substance.
He was scheduled to fight earlier this year with Travis Kaufman, but there were issues with getting his license approved for the contest.

I wouldn't be surprised. I heard he use to be on them narcotics heavy back in the day.
and he is one of the best commentators in boxing when he's actually working. Gives better insight than Paulie, without the bitterness from not succeeding at the highest level
tarver is great on the mic...one of the PBC's few things they got right from jump....because he actually did succeed at the highest level
ill say this for tarver...he is prolly more preserved than most...he is one of the few older fighters that i think has slipped but not to the point where its dangerous for him
but dude likes his PEDsThat coke and peds combotarver is great on the mic...one of the PBC's few things they got right from jump....because he actually did succeed at the highest level

And nikkas talking in other threads that he beats Canelo, Spence jus doesn't walk into shots casually, he walks into kill shots, Brook was hurting him and he was slapping out there......., there is a reason he went down from 154 to 147, he felt a 154 punch in the ring or in training that made him rethink his bully style approach....

People act like Brook wasn't teeing off on Spence
Disgusting and flat out disrespectful to Brook as well he stood tall no running in a fire fight, Brook had the skillset to box his ears off, Brook simply cant escape from his own gusto....

damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
, not too sure about this one. To me it looked like the new guy who thought he was tough was getting bullied by an experienced boxer so they can test if he has the "heart" to continue. The phone stealing part sounds fabricated to win over the viewers

Brook was getting off against GGG and got his faced caved in against both. He is the second best welterweight to me. I know y’all like to downplay his strength but he was physically stronger than porter and had rocked everybody he’s been in the ring with.
