The 40-year-old fighter tested positive for a banned substance called clomifene after his fight against Anthony Joshua at the O2 Arena in London in August 2023. Helenius denied using drugs, but the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) did not accept his explanations. His ban ends on 17 September 2025.

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.

Undisputed heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will meet again in the Saudi capital Riyadh on 21 December, according to the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority.

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.

The WTA has revealed "a multi-year partnership" with the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund (PIF), mirroring a pact struck by the men's tour (ATP) in February.

The Ukrainian won a controversial decision over the Briton in Riyadh and unified the four world titles for the first time in 24 years. The Briton dominated the early stages of the fight, but Oleksandr Usyk set the pace and nearly sent him to the canvas in the ninth round. Tyson Fury is unsure whether he will accept a rematch, which could take place in October.

Tyson Fury said he was ready to face Oleksandr Usyk and said he'd pray for his Ukrainian rival before Saturday's Ring Of Fire heavyweight clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday. 

British heavyweight boxing titleholder Tyson Fury and Ukrainian challenger Oleksandr Usyk are set to battle for the undisputed heavyweight world championship this Saturday at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena.

On Saturday the 18th, the long-awaited fight will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will unify the heavyweight belts for the first time in 25 years. Tyson, in his presentation of the fight, points out that "it's all about the money." But the truth is that the winner of this fight will go down in boxing history. Usyk, cool and focused, is thinking about Saturday.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez started Mexico's Cinco de Mayo celebrations by ending Jaime Munguia's unbeaten record in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Alvarez won by unanimous decision after flooring his fellow Mexican in round four.

The Mexican showdown on Saturday 4 May is heating up. Canelo predicted a "decisive" victory over Munguía in a press conference on Wednesday. He also warned his former promoter, Golden Boy, against "robbing boxers". On Sunday, Canelo will put his four belts on the line at the MGM in Las Vegas.

Speaking at a press conference in his home town where he is training for a unified heavyweight title fight, the British boxer insisted there was "nothing personal" between him and his opponent, Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk. The fight, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on 18 May, was postponed due to a cut on Fury's face in the build-up.

Tyson Fury insists he is fit to face the Ukrainian for the undisputed heavyweight title on 18 May. He's not bothered by the cut on his eye that happened a few weeks ago because "it's healing well". "The winner of Joshua-Ngannou will have a shot at the title," he added.

On Friday 8 March, Saudi Arabia will host a showdown between two heavyweight champions, one from boxing and the other from the UFC. For the British boxer, it's a chance to regain his credibility. For the Cameroonian, it's a chance to show what he can do in the world of boxing.

The former Nottingham boxer was interviewed by Luckyblock.com and he was asked about the outcome of a hypothetical fight between Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury. Froch was quick to point out that the Brooklyn boxer "would have beaten anybody at his best". In his opinion, Iron Mike would "knock Fury unconscious".
