Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) is hard at work preparing for his four-round heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) on May 18. More than two months before the fight, the Brit seems to be in great shape, as evidenced by a video he posted on instagram.

On Friday, after days of media speculation, details of Saul Alvarez 's (60-2-2, 39 KOs) return to the ring were finally officially announced.

Joe Joy ce (16-2, 15 KOs) earned an early tenth round submission victory over Kash Ali (21-3, 12 KOs) at Queensberry Promotions Boxing Night in Birmingham. Thus, Joyce made a successful comeback after two early losses to Zhang Zhilei. The Brit controlled the course of events in the ring from the first gong, but did not impress with the speed and accuracy of his punches. Ali in turn tried to attack with his right side kick, but lost round after round.

Trainer Don Charles, known primarily for his work with heavyweights, wants to try to get Tony Yoki 's (11-3, 9 KOs) career back on track. The Olympic heavyweight champion from Rio 2016 has a losing streak of three straight defeats on his record - to Bakole, Takam and Merhi. For the Frenchman, who will soon celebrate his 32nd birthday, this could be his last chance to get back into the serious game.

Oscar De La Hoya 's relationship with Saul Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) has not been the best for a long time, and the former decided to explain the reason for their feud.

As De La Hoya explains, he only wanted to help and bring freshness to the training of his boxer.

Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker got enviably creative and posted a two-minute video on his social media accounts in which he obviously hinted at his desire for a re-match with another former world champion, Anthony Joshua.
