Here is what Breazeale had to say about Mansour, training camp, the heavyweight division and more: DOMINIC BREAZEALE "It wasn't hard to refocus after the Charles Martin fight fell out. I took a couple of days off and then I was right back in the gym on Monday. "I have no worries about fighting a southpaw. I've had plenty of time to get comfortable with the game plan against a southpaw. "I just did a week of sparring in San Francisco with LeRon Mitchell. It was well worth it. He's a southpaw, same build as Mansour. It was ideal. "I've seen a couple of Mansour's fights, especially the Gerald Washington fight, and I know he wants to get inside. I need him to respect my distance and range. Washington was tall like me so it's a good fight to study. "My time playing quarterback in college has helped me out a great deal. The footwork is very similar. Throwing footballs and throwing punches isn't so different. "I'd like Charles Martin to defeat Vyacheslav Glazkov and then hopefully I can fight him. Glazkov was an Olympian and has a great deal of experience. I believe if Glazkov wins it will be in impressive fashion. I'm not sure Martin has enough talent to be in the ring with Glazkov. "Deontay Wilder is very good with his range. I'm a believer in him and I don't think Artur Szpilka will be able to get inside. I'm picking Deontay. "My fight will be action packed for sure. I've got the ability to knockout Mansour and I'm looking for a knockout in the middle rounds. It will definitely be very action packed."

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.

  • World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Denies Doping
    World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Denies Doping British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has vehemently denied doping allegations after the Sunday Mirror reported he was being investigated by UK Anti- Doping. The Sunday Mirror reported that traces of a banned anabolic steroid were "allegedly discovered" in a sample taken from Fury before he beat Wladimir Klitschko last year. The newspaper reported unacceptable levels of Nandrolone were found in the sample. The 27-year-old caused a big upset when he beat Klitschko on a unanimous decision in November to inflict the 40-year-old Ukrainian©s first loss in 11 years. In a statement issued by the boxer©s promoter Hennessy Sports, it was said that Tyson Fury absolutely denies any allegation of doping. It was further added the British world heavyweight champion looks forward to recovering from his injury and defending his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in October. Tyson was expected to take on Klitschko again on July 9 in the Manchester Arena but the fight was postponed due to a serious ankle injury. Fury headed out to a bar in the French city of Nice instead of keeping a low profile after the doping allegations hit headlines where he bought drinks for a bar crammed with English football fans. Hughie Fury, also a boxer and a cousin of Tyson, is also reportedly under investigation. Tyson could lose his title belts and face a lengthy ban, if found guilty. Both Fury and his cousin have denied any wrongdoing. Sophie Ashcroft, a spokesperson for UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), said UK Anti-Doping does not discuss or disclose details of any cases until due legal process has been completed or a respondent chooses to put the information into the public domain.

  • Dominic Breazeale: Remember His Name
    DOMINIC BREAZEALE: REMEMBER HIS NAME American Heavyweight boxer Dominic Breazeale correctly pronounces his last name like the country Brazil (brəˈzɪl). He is growing tired of mispronunciations and the butchering of his proud, family name. Breazeale is on a mission to make sure every mother, father, sister, daughter, son, businessperson, homemaker, and teacher knows his name. He is pinpointing his efforts on knocking out every Heavyweight boxer to make sure the entire world will remember his name! Dominic Breazeale is currently undefeated. Eleven of the wins on his professional 12-0 record have come by impressive knockouts. Born and raised in California, the six foot six athlete took an unconventional path to professional boxing. Breazeale was a starting Division I college football quarterback at The University of Northern Colorado. In his senior year, he started six games and earned the opportunity to try out with multiple NFL teams. While preparing for his professional football opportunity, he turned to boxing training as a way to condition his body. Breazeale stood out like a sore thumb as his six foot six physique and incredible athletic skills caught the attention of multiple trainers. In 2008, the All-American Heavyweight boxing program out of the Rock gym in Carson, CA pursued Breazeale and convinced him he had the natural talents to be a force in the sport of boxing. At the time, Breazeale’s only exposure to boxing, in his own words, “was two American Heavyweights getting on TV and going at it.” He would soon learn there is much more to boxing than just being on TV, and he would quickly learn he really had the goods to be a future force in the sport.

  • Amir Mansour Wins Majority Decision Over Travis Kauffman in Heavyweight Slugfest Main Event of Premier Boxing Champions: the Next Round on Bounce
    Amir Mansour Wins Majority Decision Over Travis Kauffman in Heavyweight Slugfest Main Event of Premier Boxing Champions: The Next Round on Bounce READING, PA (March 18, 2017) – In a 12-round heavyweight war that lived up to the hype, Amir Mansour (23-2-1, 16 KOs) was able to take a majority decision (114-114, 117-111, 115-113) over Travis Kauffman (31-2, 23 KOs) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions: The Next Round on Bounce from Santander Arena in Reading, PA. In round two, Kauffman buckled Mansour with a hard right on the inside. The two fighters started round four with bad intentions as they each landed hard shots on the inside. Kauffman switched back and forth between orthodox and southpaw stances in an attempt to befuddle the southpaw Mansour. By the closing rounds, both fighters began to grind out a hard-fought battle on the inside. In rounds nine and 10, it was Mansour who had more pep in his step, landing several hard blows to close out round 10. Round 12 was a classic heavyweight slugfest, as Kauffman and Mansour stood toe-to-toe landing leather on each other for the whole three-minute period, with Mansour doing just enough to get the win. Televised coverage opened with Chordale Booker (6-0, 3 KOs) of Brooklyn, New York getting a unanimous decision (59-55, 59-55, 58-56) over Moshea Aleem (4-1-1, 2 KOs) of Richmond, Virginia in a super welterweight bout. The co-main event featured two-time welterweight world champion Kermit Cintron (39-5-3, 30 KOs) and David Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KOs) fighting to a technical majority draw after Cintron was deemed unable to continue due to a cut over his right eye.
