(Queensberry Promotions) Nelson Hysa, only two places below Anthony Joshua in the heavyweight rankings if one trusts the WBA, has been added to the Moses Itauma-Filip Hrgovic event on August 29. The 41-year-old is untested but unbeaten, ranked sixth by the WBA and 11th by the WBO, and takes on Norway’s equally protected Thomas Narmo in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds at London, England’s O2 Arena. Hysa, 24-0 (22 KOs), was rumored to be in the running to take on Tyson Fury before the comebacking “Gypsy King” settled on 46-year-old Mariusz Wach for his stay-busy bout in July. Narmo,…
Vida Kovai Kings progressed to Qualifier 2 of the TNPL after its Eliminator against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans was washed out at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Monday.Kings and Tamizhans were placed third and fourth on the points table, with both teams on eight points.

Siddharth (nine wickets at 5.46) and leg-spinner Jhathavedh Subramanyan (13 at 6.29), while Tamizhans’ openers…
Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira conceded, “I don’t know what’s going to happen”, when asked about the future of Allan amid ongoing interest from Manchester City. Allan has reportedly been identified as the player City want to replace Savinho, who is closing in on a move to fellow Premier League side Tottenham. It has been reported that the 22-year-old has a €100m (£85.5m) release clause, though City are confident they can complete a deal for less than half of that fee. Since breaking into the first team, Allan has made 96 appearances across all competitions for Palmeiras, scoring nine goals and providing…
The habit resembles fellow Cuban David Morrell, who often remained behind his guard while opponents unloaded. It eventually cost Morrell when Zak Chelli stopped him in the 10th round of their major upset last May. Such a flaw will need to be corrected against better opposition. Allowing a powerful fighter to build confidence and accumulate punches is dangerous, even when most of the shots are blocked. Still, Bentley must survive the return fire to exploit it. Veron absorbed clean punches throughout Saturday’s fight that would have knocked out an average middleweight with a lesser chin. He never went down or…

“Boots is chomping at the bit to get back in the ring, and I’m told there are advanced negotiations for Jaron Ennis to face Josh Kelly in a unification fight sometime in November or December,” Mannix said during DAZN’s Sources Say. “Josh Kelly, coming off a win this past month, had some injury issues after that fight. He had a nose injury, but Matchroom, Boots’ team, believes that injury will be healed. I’m told they are targeting that fight on the East Coast before the end of this year.” If Kelly were a stronger champion, he might be able to…

His professional matchmaking did not compensate for so little amateur seasoning. Chris Eubank Jr. and Regis Prograis are the only opponents Benn has faced who were still competing at a high level. “I think Ryan wins in a complicated fight, though,” Vargas told Fight Hub TV. “Benn is a novice fighter, but he’s also awkward. So for specific fighters, I think that awkwardness can create difficulty at some point. Ryan should win and by knockout in the 147-pound division, but the first couple rounds, I think it’ll take some time for him to adjust. I do think he should win…
Mentioning Tyson invites attention that does Itauma no favors. Tyson was already must-see television before defeating Berbick in 1986 because of the way he destroyed opponents. He pressed forward, stayed in the pocket, threw combinations, and kept attacking until the fight was over. Itauma is not that type of heavyweight. He fights on the outside, waiting to launch one shot rather than remaining close and overwhelming opponents with power shots. When opponents pressure him, he tends to retreat to escape. It’s a style that looks like a bigger version of Shakur Stevenson. That approach may be effective, but it is…
