WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he’s going offline until October 10. “Total blackout from me. See you in Vegas. Let the games begin. Seven weeks Saturday till I smash the big dosser again.”

Former heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer” Ruiz Jr. could be out for the year after reportedly having surgery on his right knee this week. Ruiz fought once in 2021 against Chris Arreola in May. Prior to that, his last fight was a loss to Anthony Joshua in 2019.

Everlast has added IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards (16-0, 4 KOs) to its roster of sponsored athletes.

Undisputed 140lb champion Josh Taylor is expected to face WBO mandatory Jack Catterall next in December in Glasgow.

  • Not to be negative, but that Josh Taylor homecoming is absolutely poised for an upset. Messy points win for Catterall

  • Tyson Fury might lose to Deontay Wilder in a tremendous upset.

    I am going out on a limb here. Fury dominates for 4 3/4 rounds, then gets KTFO in round 5. Similar to Gabe Rosado knocking out Bektemir Melikuziev. Fury will lose this fight. Upset of 2021. Rosado/Melikuziev will be the runner-up.

    Speaketh …. Mort.

      • Ugas is not going to SD Pacman. Ugas is going to stop Pacman in 7 rounds. Pacman will lose on his stool, just like Oscar lost to Pacman on his stool.

        • Last guy Ugas KO’d was 3 years ago against a guy with 13 loses. Ugas is a body puncher and Manny trained to fight an excellent body puncher (Spence). Paq is def not the type to quit on his stool. Ugas wont win a decision unless Arum puts in a favor with the judges to screw his ex-fighter over. I doubt you would put money on a Ugas KO.

  • With Andy most likely out of the picture this year, then a good fight for Deontay Wilder would be against Andy sometime in 2022 because Tyson Fury is going to destroy Wilder with ease and Wilder will need a decent big name comeback. Ruiz would be that guy.

    • Jenny Craig reject nearly got knocked out by peperoni Arreola, he needs to lay off the tacos and snickers. Too much weight for his knees to handle

  • Doesn’t look like Fury will be fighting Wilder on October 10, 2021. He’s scared to death that he won’t be able to get away with cheating this time. He’s looking for a way out. As we used to say in the hood playing basketball: “don’t cheat us to beat us”. He’s the dosser and will be found out if they actually do get in the ring in October. Then we’ll hear the excuses about his mental health being compromised and what have you. Unreal.

  • Basically, what Fury is saying to us is he backed out of the last fight date since he was not focused and used COVID as an excuse. Now, all communications will be shut down so he can attempt to regain his focus and stabilize his mind. Technically, had they fought the last canceled fight date, Fury would have faced a “more ready” Wilder posing a risk to Fury’s demise. I personally think Fury and Wilder excel more at trash-talking than they do fighting.
