Nigerian UFC fighter, Kamaru Usman fails to reclaim belt from Leon Edwards in their trilogy encounter

Nigerian UFC fighter, Kamaru Usman has failed to retrieve the welterweight title after he lost to Leon Edwards over five rounds at UFC 286 in London. The 31-year-old Briton edged out former champion Kamaru Usman in their trilogy encounter with points. It was a close match but Edwards landed the cleaner shots. The British fighter came out on top, with the three judges scoring it 48-46, 48-46 and 47-47 in his favour.

British professional boxer, Conor Benn is being investigated over claims he failed another drugs test prior to the one which forced the 11th-hour cancellation of last Saturday night’s fight with Chris Eubank Jnr.

BREAKING : Usyk retain heavyweight tittle after defeating Anthony Joshua {VIDEO}

Oleksandr Usyk out boxed Anthony Joshua to retain his IBF, IBO, WBA (Super) and WBO titles in a split decision on Saturday. The Judges scored the fight 115-113 to Joshua, 115-113 to Usyk and 116-112 to Usyk. Joshua looks spent. But then almost out of nowhere the Briton lands a big left hook followed immediately by a right hand. Usyk’s motor is simply too good. He won’t stop throwing and is trading shots with Joshua in a round that he probably doesn’t need to have. What valor, from both men! Usyk lands a crushing left hook, followed by a three-punch combination. And there’s the final bell. This one was closer than the first instalment and Joshua showed far better, but we should be looking at an uncontroversial points decision for Oleksandr Usyk. https://twitter.com/...

Usyk rematch a major setback – Anthony Joshua,

Anthony Joshua is unlikely to have home advantage for his world heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk this summer.

Both fighters must agree the venue for the rematch, which has a 50-50 purse split, and Hearn can understand Usyk’s reluctance to return to London. He does not want to hand Joshua home advantage, even though he dethroned Joshua there in September to become a two-weight world champion. “If contracts and site fees that have been offered come t...
