TYSON FURY HITS 18ST 11LB TARGET WEIGHT FOR APRIL 11 COMEBACK
Tyson Fury hits his 263lb target weight for the April 11 Netflix comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov after a 13-month hiatus.
Tyson Fury says he’s already hit his target weight, even with weeks to go before his big comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
The ‘Gipsy King’ has been out in Thailand lately, kicking off his training camp and getting back in the groove. He walked away from boxing after dropping two straight fights to Oleksandr Usyk, but that retirement didn’t last long. Now he’s looking at a busy 2026, ready to jump right back in.
First up: Makhmudov on April 11. The fight might land in Manchester, but wherever it happens, Fury’s hyped. He’s been stoking the buzz, sharing peeks at his training, and letting fans watch his journey in real time.
So, when he stepped on the scales and saw the number, he didn’t hold back. “Already on weight nine weeks out,” he wrote. “I’m seriously going to smash Arslanbek Makhmudov.” The scale read 18 stone 11 pounds—263 pounds. That’s 18 pounds lighter than he weighed for his second fight with Usyk back in December 2024.
For that rematch, Fury came in at a career-high 281 pounds. He gave Usyk a real challenge, but the judges edged it to the Ukrainian. After those fights, people started raising eyebrows. Even in some training clips, fans and boxing folks worried about how heavy and sluggish he looked.
But now? You can tell he’s grinding. He’s pushing to get back in shape and take another shot at the heavyweight division.
The training setup looks different, too. Fury’s been working with Sugar Hill Steward during his losses to Usyk, but now, it sounds like his dad, John Fury, is stepping in to take charge.
John isn’t shy about it. He wants to make sure Tyson stops obsessing over the technical side and gets his body right. “I am going to be more involved this time,” he said. “And hear this, Tyson’s going to win the heavyweight championship for the third time, and you can bank your fucking money on that!
“He’s not in fantastic shape; that’s bull****. But he will be. Have another look at him, because when I go out in the next week, there will be no more of this internet bull****, every move on the internet. Head down, work, and get a body. Learn to move again. Learn to twist and be awkward. Herky-jerky.
“If it is fat, it matters. Anybody will tell you that. But listen, we know where we are going. I know where he went wrong. I know. And we are going to put it right.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA RESPONDS TO FLOYD MAYWEATHER LAWSUIT CALLING ALLEGATIONS A "MYSTERY"
Floyd Mayweather is suing Showtime for $340M, alleging a decade of financial fraud involving diverted purses and hidden accounts.
Floyd Mayweather is suing Showtime Networks and former executive Stephen Espinoza. On the surface, it’s about money—but if you read the lawsuit, it feels more like a battle over who really called the shots.
Earlier this month, Mayweather filed a complaint in Los Angeles, saying he lost at least $340 million. He blames hidden bank accounts, unauthorised money transfers, and a serious lack of transparency about his fight earnings.
None of these claims has been proven in court yet.
According to the lawsuit, Mayweather leaned on his long-time adviser, Al Haymon, for everything business-related—negotiations, payments, financial decisions, the works.
Haymon isn’t listed as a defendant.
Still, the complaint says this dependency created a fiduciary relationship under California law. And that trust? Mayweather claims it got abused—secrecy, self-dealing, and funnelling money into accounts he couldn’t touch.
One thing stands out: Mayweather says he never got official accounting statements for years. Instead, he just got verbal updates about where his money was.
Now, why are Showtime and Espinoza in the crosshairs? The lawsuit claims they helped make all this possible. They allegedly wired fight money to accounts tied to Haymon’s people, not directly to Mayweather. The complaint also says they turned a blind eye to weird deductions, ignored giant transfers, and later said they couldn’t produce key financial records when Mayweather started asking questions.
Espinoza later joined Premier Boxing Champions, which is connected to Haymon. The suit points this out to show ongoing relationships that, according to Mayweather, played a role in how the money got handled.
Honestly, the giant dollar amount is just the tip of the iceberg. The lawsuit keeps circling back to the same thing: Who could actually see the money? Who had control? Who got left in the dark?
Mayweather says the alleged scheme stayed hidden for years because he didn’t have access to the documents. No one gave him the oversight he needed to spot the problems sooner.
He’s asking for compensatory and punitive damages, plus a court-ordered deep dive into the books. He wants a jury to hear the case.
If he proves his case, this isn’t just about the missing millions. It’s about how fast power can shift behind closed doors when boxers trust others with their business—and don’t demand the receipts.
WWE’S PETER ROSENBERG BLASTS JAKE PAUL FOR "UNEDUCATED" BAD BUNNY RANT
Jake Paul faces a "culture vulture" rebuke from WWE's Peter Rosenberg after a controversial boycott of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show.
Jake Paul’s taking a ton of heat right now after shooting his mouth off about Bad Bunny—this time, a WWE talent jumped in and fired right back.
So here’s what happened. Jake’s been in the headlines after Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in their fight. He’s Logan Paul’s little brother, and if there’s one thing about Jake, it’s that he never keeps quiet. He’s always got an opinion, and he’s not shy about sharing it—especially lately. But this time, his comments really set people off.
After the news came out, Jake wasted no time letting everyone know how much he hates the idea of Bad Bunny performing at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. Earlier, Logan kept it simple and said he wasn’t excited to see the Puerto Rican star—even though he was actually going to the game. But Jake? He took it way further.
On Twitter, Jake announced he’d be turning off the halftime show and told everyone else to do the same—basically, he wanted to start a protest against Bad Bunny. He even called the Grammy winner a “fake American”. Here’s what Jake posted:
“Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them).
You are their benefit. Realise you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
Well, it didn’t take long for someone to hit back. Peter Rosenberg, a correspondent for WWE, jumped on Twitter and roasted Jake, calling him a “culture vulture”. Rosenberg didn’t hold back—he said nobody cares what Jake thinks unless there’s a chance someone’s about to knock him out in the ring. His response:
“Yo @jakepaul, shut your uneducated, grifting, culture-vulture ass up… people only care about what you have to say if there’s a chance they get to see someone beat your stupid ass at the end.”
Jake hasn’t responded—at least, not yet.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul got booed big time at the Super Bowl. It’s been a week for the Paul brothers, that’s for sure.
