BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHTS RULE THE WORLD, SAYS HATTON RICKY HATTON believes the mouth-watering clash between Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman proves the strength of British heavyweight boxing. Dubois (11-0, 10KOs) and Hatton trained Gorman (16-0, 11KOs) meet for the vacant British championship in one of the most significant domestic fights in recent years at The O2, London on Saturday July 13, live on BT Sport. The winner will go soaring up the world rankings. And with both men in their early twenties promoter Frank Warren insists he will rebuild the loser and get him back on the title trail. Tyson Fury is the lineal champion and Anthony Joshua holds the IBF, WBA and WBO belts, to leave Hatton gushing: “What a time to be a British heavyweight boxer.” “On the world stage we’re up there and domestically there is world class potential. “It wasn’t so long ago few people knew who a British heavyweight was. Now we have so many. “People ask; ‘Why is Nathan against Daniel happening for a British title? It’s a little bit too soon ,’and maybe it is with the amount of fights they’ve had. “But, if you win a British title these days it is more prestigious than it was in years gone by and that is no disrespect to anyone. “There are British heavyweights at world level like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte. Then you have Dereck Chisora, Dave Allen, Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and Nathan. “If you win the British title you’ve earn’t it because there are so many great fighters out there. “It isn’t just a lovely Lonsdale belt at stake, but doors will be opened for the winner.” Tickets for ‘Heavy Duty’ featuring Daniel Dubois v Nathan Gorman for the vacant British Heavyweight Title, plus Olympic silver medallist Joe Joyce are on sale now via AXS.com, Eventim and Ticketmaster and are priced as below: £300 – (Hospitality) £200 – Floor £150 – Floor £100 – Tier/Floor £75 – Floor/Tier £50 – Tier £40 – Tier.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

Coyle: I'll Make History in Leeds
COYLE: I’LL MAKE HISTORY IN LEEDS Tommy Coyle says he will make history in by becoming the first British champion from Hull when he challenges Tyrone Nurse for the Super-Lightweight title at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on July 30, live on Sky Sports. Coyle clash with old amateur foe Nurse is his second fight at 140lbs having made the move from Lightweight in May over six rounds in Manchester. The 26 year old had some memorable moments at 135lbs with his epic fight of the year clash with Daniel Brizuela, brutal second round KO win over Michael Katsidis and stadium showdown with Hull rival Luke Campbell MBE, but Coyle is happy that his first shot at the Lord Lonsdale belt is at a weight that he feels suits him best. “I feel brilliant at Super-Lightweight,” said Coyle. “I’ve been 9st 9lbs since I was 16 years old. When Tyrone and I boxed as amateurs I was 9st 9lbs then and that was ten years ago. That extra five pounds on fight night is going to be a huge difference, I don’t have to take it off in the last week so I think I will be a completely different animal at the weight and you’ll see the difference in the fight. “It’s the prettiest belt out there and it’s every young fighters dream to fight for the British belt. It holds a lot of credibility and I’m really excited to be fighting for it, so I’ll be leaving everything in the ring on July 30.

INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 4-17 February 2020 INVESTIGATIONS Australia Match fix call from Gatto's mate cost soccer coach his job, court told A tapped phone call between Mick Gatto’s son-in-law and an associate led police to investigate a Melbourne soccer game in a match-fixing probe that ended up costing the team's coach his job. Danny Awad was under investigation for attempting to possess 22 kilograms of cocaine imported from Mexico when on August 19, 2017 police overheard a call he took from property developer John Khoury, a business partner of Mr Gatto's. Khoury asked Awad, who is married to Mr Gatto’s daughter Sarah, to place a multi-bet on his behalf, having learnt from a source that soccer club Dandenong Thunder was to field a weaker side in its game that day. Khoury bet $4000 and stood to win $43,300 if Thunder lost its game and his pick for a Queensland horse race came in first. Thunder had already won the 2017 National Premier League Eastern division – in the third tier of Australian soccer – and fielded a team of younger and less experienced players against Melbourne City’s youth team to give the lesser lights some game time. When Khoury, who was on the Gold Coast, learnt Thunder were beating City 2-1 at half-time, he made four calls and sent three text messages to Dandenong’s then coach Gianfranco Impellizzeri.

George Fox Ready for the Top After Tyson Fury Camps
GEORGE FOX READY FOR THE TOP AFTER TYSON FURY CAMPS GEORGE FOX believes an “life-changing” education from Tyson Fury will put him top of the class in Britain next year. The WBC World Heavyweight champion was impressed by Queensberry’s latest big hope when they spent two camps together. Fox (3-0), who is trained by his Father, Don Charles has his first fight for Frank Warren at SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday July 24, live on BT Sport. The Mill Hill Heavyweight hope has mixed with plenty of world class fighters besides Fury. He has also sparred Dereck Chisora, Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua, Joe Joyce and Dillian Whyte. Because of the pandemic, 6ft 7in Fox hasn’t boxed since November 2019, but says: “It’s actually been the most useful time I have had to knuckle down. I have never trained so hard this consistently. “I have had top sparring and did two camps with Tyson Fury – one in Las Vegas and one in Morecambe. “It was life-changing with Tyson. I became very close with him, very friendly with him. “Because of my style, I am not a traditional banger. I am more of a technical Heavyweight trying to pick people apart. “Having said that the last year or so we have done strength work and put on power, no doubt. “Tyson has been instrumental in teaching me certain fundamentals that suit me because I am 6ft 7in and a bit — tall and rangy. “He has just helped me push on with my craft and given me some inside secrets.

The promise of that conference title as a freshman and a third-place finish in the national col- legiate championships as a sophomore was sabotaged by shoulder and ankle injuries during last season. Before misfortune beset his junior campaign, he had - managed a record of 16- 1 and appeared headed for something close to his 33-2 sophomore mark. He twice bas won individual championships at the Arizona Invitational and also has nailed down first- place finishes at the Sunshine and University of Col- orado tournaments. His three-year record at Midwest City High School in Oklahoma City was 69-9. De- scribed by coach Stan Abel as "a winner in every sense of the word," the physical education major hopes to avoid injury and prove just that during his final Sooner season, PUBLISHED ANNUALLY by The National Collegiate Athletic Association.
