British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has returned to training to seek "redemption" against Oleksandr Usyk after losing his unbeaten record and undisputed heavyweight title by split decision.

The American boxer is one of the most talented fighters to emerge in recent years. He has been arrested for vandalism, tested positive for banned substances, consumed alcohol in public and even had a controversial weigh-in.  "It's been three days of hell," he said on his social media.

Three years after retiring from professional boxing, on 28 July, the multiple world champion, Manny Paquiao, will step back into the ring.

The admission of a new provisional member for the International Boxing Association allows for expansion in Oceania. The debuting national federation will work with IBA on the OCBC Youth & Junior Oceania Boxing Championships, which will take place in Tahiti in July and will be its first event.

The fight between the 'Garden Terror' and the YouTuber, scheduled for 20 July, has been put on hold. Organisers announced the postponement after 'Iron Mike' suffered a health scare this week and following doctors' advice.

The former heavyweight champion had suffered nausea and dizziness on a flight to California, causing concern less than two months before his return to professional boxing after nearly two decades and at the age of 58. "I feel 100% now, although I don't need to be to beat Paul".

The British boxer will activate the clause in the contract signed for their first fight, which  stipulates that it will take place in October. He is ready and eager, says the promoter of the 'Gypsy King'. Usyk, for his part, is ready. Everything seems to be in motion, but nobody dares to confirm it.
