00:00In other news, Tyson Fury says he's not over the hill yet, regardless of what his father John says.
00:08The two-time heavyweight king returns for the first time since dropping two straight decision losses to the undisputed champion
00:14Oleksandr Usyk, the last of which came in December of 2024.
00:20As he gears up for his fifth comeback, this time against Arslanbek Mahmoudov, John, who has been a fixture in
00:27Tyson's corner since he beat Vladimir Klitschko for the title in 2015, sparked headlines this week by claiming his son
00:33is now past his best.
00:37In response, Tyson said,
00:39We are always evolving as fighters and people. We are always changing and learning things. Even at this old age
00:45of 37, you can always learn on the daily.
00:48I've always been a genius in the boxing ring. I've always been a dolphin in that boxing ring.
00:53Fury's immediate roadmap is clear. Get past Mahmoudov, then run it back with Usyk later this year.
01:00Ideally, the Usyk trilogy fight would be on home soil rather than in Saudi Arabia, which hosted his last three
01:05outings.
01:08He's also not shutting the door on the long-awaited, highly anticipated All-English showdown with fellow former champ Anthony
01:14Joshua,
01:15who was involved in a fatal car accident in December that claimed the lives of two of his friends.
01:21This is a shame.
01:24After Anthony's tragedy, I've not really been pushing the points, but let's see how he feels, said Fury.
01:29I will get the Usyk fight. Who else is he going to fight? I'm the cash. I'm the cash flow
01:34in the division.
01:38An inquest into the death of Ricky Hatton has heard that the former world champion was optimistic about the future
01:44and that there were no clear signs that he intended to take his own life.
01:49The 46-year-old was remembered as a devoted father in good spirits and, despite past struggles with alcohol and
01:55drugs,
01:56was doing better than he had in years, according to family testimonies.
02:01Hatton had taken his daughters and granddaughter out for a pub meal
02:04and was later found unresponsive in his upstairs games room.
02:08While the inquest ruled the cause of death as hanging,
02:11testing revealed traces of cocaine, cannabis and alcohol levels well over the legal limits.
02:18Senior coroner, Alison Mutch, told the court that no note was found
02:22and police uncovered no evidence suggesting a planned suicide.
02:29I cannot be satisfied he intended to take his own life, said Mutch.
02:33His intention remains unclear, as he was under the influence of alcohol
02:37and the neuropathological post-mortem found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
02:42And that's the conclusion I draw.
02:46To the cruiserweights, Jaya Pattaya has been stripped of the IBF cruiserweight title for a second time.
02:53Following his win over Brandon Glanton for the inaugural Zufa Belt,
02:56the IBF, which withdrew their sanctioning three days prior to the event, voted to vacate their title.
03:05The IBF's rules don't always yield the preferred or popular outcome,
03:09but they provide structure and transparency,
03:11serving not just the champion, but also those waiting for the opportunity to fight for the title.
03:16The IBF was a U.S.
