Francis Ngannou Wants To Prioritize Tyson Fury Rematch

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Francis Ngannou has confirmed that he will not appeal the result of his fight against Tyson Fury and will instead push for a rematch as soon as possible. “The rematch is what I want next the most. As for right now I feel like there is a lot of options for me, but I want to choose wisely, and I would go for the rematch first,” Ngannou told TMZ. Ngannou defied the odds to earn a split decision loss to Fury in their fight last weekend. Even Fury gave the former MMA fighter props. “He’s given me probably one of my toughest fights in the last 10 years. He’s a good boxer, He’s a lot better than I thought he’d be and he gave me a good fight,” Fury said after the bout.

Despite Fury having just set a date next February for his historic unification bout against Oleksandr Uysk, Ngannou wants his rematch first. “My best scenario in boxing is to wait for Fury. If Usyk can step out and let me fight Fury, I’ll fight Fury, then I’ll let them do whatever they do. I’ll go back, maybe do some MMA fight and come back with some people in boxing,” Ngannou explained.

Ngannou Not Appealing Fight Result

Furthermore, Ngannou shot down any notion that he would be appealing the fight result. “Who am I gonna appeal to? [The British Boxing Commission]? I have no chance. I think that’s just another way of humiliation,” Ngannou argued. Instead, as mentioned, he wants to rectify the loss with a rematch win. However, Fury is yet to comment on Ngannou’s challenge.

One boxer who is filing an appeal, however, is Dillon Danis. Last month, the MMA fighter officially appealed the result of his boxing match against Logan Paul. It’s unclear exactly what Danis is appealing, given he clearly met the threshold for a disqualification given his attempted illegal grab on Paul in the dying seconds of the fight. Furthermore, given how thoroughly Paul was beating Danis at the time of the DQ, it’s likely that the fight would be ruled a unanimous decision win for Paul. Additionally, Paul responded to the announcement, calling it “embarrassing and desperate”.

Tyson Fury Defeats Francis Ngannou Via Split Decision Despite Knockdown

October 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyson Fury was able to overcome a knockdown to defeat Francis Ngannou via split decision on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury secured tallies of 96-93 and 95-94 from two of the judges while Ngannou got one judge to tally 95-94. The loss for Ngannou marked his pro boxing debut in his first fight overall since January 2022.

“I might have come up short today, I might be wounded but I can bite, I’m just a fighter and I’m ready to fight any time soon,” he said afterward. “We can run it back soon and I’m sure I can do better. This was my first boxing match, I’m not making excuses but I can come back even stronger.”

Francis Ngannou Knocks Down Tyson Fury

Fury spoke about the fight afterward, praising Ngannou. “That definitely wasn’t in the script,” he said, as noted by The Athletic. “He’s a hell of a fighter and a hell of a lot better boxer than we thought he would be. He’s an awkward man and a good puncher and I respect him a lot. He was very awkward, he wasn’t coming forward and was waiting for me to throw. He’s given me one of my toughest fights of the last ten years.” Of the knockdown specifically, he added: “I was caught behind the head for the knockdown. I got back up and got back to my boxing, I don’t know how close it was. I got the win and that’s what it is.”

Tyson Fury Compares Himself To Novak Djokovic At Francis Ngannou Weigh-In

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyson Fury was full of confidence as he weighed in against Francis Ngannou ahead of their boxing match in Saudi Arabia. “It’s like a table tennis champion facing Djokovic in the Wimbledon final — totally different,” Fury said dismissively of the MMA star, who is making his boxing debut. Both fighters made weight, with Fury coming up a little over 5 lbs more than Ngannou. There was a flicker of confrontation as Ngannou bumped chests with Fury after the British boxer put his forehead against the Cameroonian’s.

However, Ngannou was unfazed by Fury’s behavior. “I have played this game so long. This can’t get to me. It’s part of the game. We’re going to take a couple of minutes at the beginning, but I think this fight will end very quick,” the PFL star claimed. Both men are set to make bank from the fight, with Fury’s purse reportedly hitting $50 million.

Fury Eyes Usyk

However, the fight is little more than a warm-up for the main event in the eyes of Fury. Last month, sources told ESPN that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk had signed fight contracts for this winter. The fight, scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, will be the first undisputed heavyweight fight in boxing’s four-belt era. While a date has not been confirmed, the fight will take place on December 23 or in early January. The details will be further set after Fury fights Ngannou. At the Ngannou weigh-in, Fury said he would take a week to recover before discussing the Usyk fight. Fury currently holds the WBC belt while Usyk holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.

The fight is a renewal of a proposal from earlier this year. Fury and Usyk were originally scheduled for April of this year, with a fight slated for London’s Wembley Stadium. However, the fight fell through at the last moment. Instead, Uysk fulfilled his mandatory WBA defense against Daniel Dubois in an August fight in Poland. Meanwhile, Fury has not fought since beating Derek Chisora last December.

Dillon Danis Calls Cap On Logan Paul’s Negative Drug Test

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dillon Danis has once again voiced his belief that Logan Paul used steroids ahead of their boxing match earlier this month. Furthermore, Danis called cap on Paul’s proof that his post-fight test came back clean. “The testing was a joke, literally. Piss test after fight, famously easy to beat. Old man in the room wasn’t even paying attention. You’re a juicehead, and you proved that with the way the testing was done,” Danis wrote on social media in response to a picture of Paul’s letter from VADA.

Drug testing became a large part of the lead-up to the Paul-Danis fight. After numerous claims by Danis that Paul was juicing, both parties agreed to a drug test before the fight. However, Danis claimed he was never tested and Paul’s test letter shows that he was tested the day after the fight. However, thanks to the negative test, there is no evidence other than Danis’ word, that Paul was using before the fight.

Dana White Weighs In On UFC Signing Danis

Meanwhile, Dana White recently weighed in on the possibility of the UFC signing Danis to a fight contract. “I don’t know. I haven’t even thought about that,” White admitted when asked. Danis has been adamant in recent weeks about getting a shot in the UFC following his fight with Logan Paul. He has gone as far as to call out Jon Jones and say the promotion can throw whoever they want at him as a debut.

However, Danis’ appeal to the promotion remains questionable. He is 2-0 in an MMA career with UFC rival Bellator. However, those fights both occurred in 2019 and Danis hasn’t competitively stepped into the Octagon since. Furthermore, his fight with Paul showed that he’s more bark than bite. Especially as the UFC grows, there isn’t as much room for guys who trash-talk seven ways to Sunday but can’t back it up in the ring. The one thing Danis does have going for him is that is a regular training partner of Conor McGregor, whose name holds a lot of weight within the promotion.

Keefe D Stunned That Mike Tyson Was Close With Tupac And Biggie

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Those who are keeping even a slightly less keen eye on music know that Keefe D is heavily involved with the murder of Tupac. His numerous appearances in court have still led to nowhere yet (to no surprise). It might not be for a while and in the meantime, he is still being brought in for interviews. Keefe might have to be more cautious about his answers, for obvious reasons. We are not saying that these media outlets are necessarily out to get him, however, a lot of the questions are going to be around Tupac and what he remembers.

Case and point, this recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue. They sat down with Keefe and asked him about his relationship with boxing legend, Mike Tyson. HipHopDX broke down some of the interview and here is what the suspect had to say. “[I met Tyson] a couple of times. Him and Biggie from the same f****n’ turf, y’know what I’m sayin’, and Jigga and them — Brooklyn.” He then shared his shock that Mike was close with Tupac too. “I thought he would side with his homeboy before he would side with [Tupac].”

Keefe D Sits Down With The Art Of Dialogue

Keefe does have a point that it is surprising that Mike would be close with both rappers, especially during the beef. However, Tupac did visit Mike when he was locked up according to BET. Keefe also admitted that Pac was a massive figure. “I forgot, Tupac was from New York, Baltimore, Oakland, LA, Compton — he’s from five different spots, man, damn!” Keefe will reappear on November 2 where is expected to plead not guilty.

What are your initial thoughts on Keefe D sharing his thoughts on Mike Tyson’s relationship with Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.? Did you know that Mike was close with each of the rappers even during their beef? What do you think will happen with Keefe D when he appears back court? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Keefe D, as well as everything else going on around the music world.

Dillon Danis Claims Nina Agdal Posts Were “Comedy” Promotion Of Logan Paul Fight, Continues To Make Posts About Her

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dillon Danis dropped the gangsta act in recently released court documents. The former Bellator fighter claimed that the posts he made about Nina Agdal, the fiancee of Logan Paul, were “parody, satire, comedy, farce or opinions”. He also claimed they were only posted to promote the fight and enhance the narrative of Danis being the “bad guy” in the fight. This is in stark contrast to Danis’ social media persona, where he called Agdal a “slut” on multiple occasions and called her a “Karen” for suing him. Furthermore, Danis claimed he never used images that weren’t already publicly available. Additionally, he argued that his posts were protected under the First Amendment. However, Danis has continued to go after Agdal and Paul despite being nearly two weeks removed from the fight.

In further claims, Danis also claimed that he did not have a “real beef” with Logan Paul and wasn’t simply playing a part in promoting the fight. If that’s the case, Danis really committed to the bit, reportedly making over 250 posts about Agdal alone in the leadup to the fight. However, was it worth it? The fight has widely been discredited as a boxing flop, with Danis losing via disqualification in the final round.

Dillon Danis Dropped By Bellator

Elsewhere, Danis is now a free agent. Over the weekend, he was released by Bellator, the UFC rival that Danis fought under twice. Danis has been inactive in the Octagon since 2019, dealing with a series of lingering injuries over the last four years. However, he also developed a reputation of fight-dodging. Many were surprised that he actually went through with the Logan Paul fight. Last year he was meant to fight KSI but dropped out at the last moment.

Danis has made it very clear that he intends to return to MMA and has demanded a shot in the UFC. He currently serves as the primary training partner of Conor McGregor. McGregor is currently preparing for his MMA return after a two-year injury absence. However, it’s doubtful that there’s much appeal for the UFC of a 2-0 fighter with no MMA fights since 2019. Furthermore, Danis now has a penchant for having a bite louder than his bark. Danis can certainly cut a promo, having called out basically every UFC fighter he could think of. However, there’s a big difference between calling out Jon Jones and actually fighting him.

The Future for Jay Swingler

While $2.3 million might seem like a staggering amount, it’s essential to understand the dynamics of the digital world.

Jake Paul Speaks Out On Cocaine Allegations

October 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul has become a massive fighter over the past few years. Although there are plenty of naysayers out there, he has won the vast majority of his fights. Overall, the only match that he was not able to win was against none other than Tommy Fury. However, he is now set to fight in MMA potentially, against Nate Diaz. Furthermore, he wants to get involved in more boxing matches. It even seems like a rematch against Fury is probably.

Recently, Paul was at his brother Logan’s fight against Dillon Danis. As many of you know, there was a massive brawl inside of the ring during that fight. Jake was in there, although many noticed that he was sweaty, confused, and seemed to be continuously dusting off his nose. Subsequently, this led to allegations that he is a coke fiend. Well, in a new YouTube video, Paul decided to address to claims, once and for all.

Jake Paul Gets Serious

“This is the thing, is I go to brawl in the ring to save my f***ing brother,” Paul began. “Forty grown men around me, everyone’s huffing and puffing, I’m yelling, ‘You bitch, you’re lucky I didn’t kill you.’ and I’m literally drenched in sweat. I come out, everyone knows I’m the most sweatiest person in the world. So I get into the ring to like, go be there for my brother and s***, and I put my hat on and I’m literally sweating down my face, so I’m just like this, trying to get the sweat off of my f***ing face.” Not everyone will believe Jake, however, his explanation does seem fairly plausible.

Moving forward, it is going to be interesting to see what Jake’s next move is. Hopefully, we find out sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think of the fighter’s explanation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
