Tyson Fury storms ring to demand fight with Deontay Wilder after KO (VIDEO)

In a scene that was more WWE than WBC, Tyson Fury stormed into the ring and demanded a fight with Deontay Wilder after the heavyweight beat Artur Szpilka with a stunning knockout at Barclays Center Saturday night.

Fury, who beat Wladimir Klitschko in November, was in Brooklyn to watch WBC champion Wilder beat the Polish fighter — who was still sprawled out on the canvas — when Fury hopped into the ring.


And after Wilder won Saturday's fight with a devastating ninth round knockout, the British loudmouth jumped through the ropes, slammed down his jacket and stormed around the ring.

With Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis looking on, Wilder and Fury then squared up with the Brit taking the microphone and shouting, "There's only one Tyson Fury. What have you got to say about that Deontay?"

"We all know Fury, you are just a phony, this is just an act," responded Wilder. "You know where I am, you know what time, you know what place, I ain't scared of nobody, I'll come to your back yard."

After getting in the winner's face, Fury crowed, "Any time! Any place! Anywhere. I'll fight you in your back garden.

"Like I did Klitschko, I'll beat you, ya bum, You're a bum."
Security stepped in to separate the two fighters and Wilder hit back at Fury, saying: "You can run around like you're a preacher all you want but you step in the ring, I promise you I will baptize you.

"This is an act. You're not a real fighter. This is an act. I don't play this. You should be an actor. This ain't WWE. 

"I would love to fight him next. Unfortunately I have other mandatories due. Make the date Tyson, I promise you." 

Fury dramatically gestured toward the crowd as he was booed by the fans and then escorted out of the Barclays Center by security.


A fight between Wilder and Fury may not have been signed yet — but you have to admit there is finally some interest being hyped in the heavyweight division.

New heavyweight champ Tyson Fury says 'A woman's best place is on her back' (VIDEO)

Newly crowned world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is facing criticism for spouting the kind of derogatory nonsense that has become as much his trademark as his fists.

And might be facing one big opponent outside the ring — namely the PC Police.


Fury's latest controversy surrounds the sexist remarks he made in an interview, filmed by the online boxing channel IFL TV, that was posted to YouTube on Nov. 25, days before the British boxer's stunning victory over Wladimir Klitschko — ending the Ukrainian’s nine-year reign as heavyweight champion.
“I believe a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back, that’s my personal belief,” Fury said in the video interview. “Making me a good cup of tea, that’s what I believe.”
And the 27-year-old Fury, on the shortlist for the BBC's "Sports Personality of the Year" for 2015 award, didn't stop there.

He also gave his caveman views on women in boxing: “I think they are very nice when they’re walking around that ring holding them cards.”

And on gold-medal-winning heptathlete and English sports darling Jessica Ennis-Hill: “I think she’s good, she’s won quite a few medals for Britain, she slaps up good as well, when she’s got a dress on she looks quite fit.”


Fury had already created a furor for unabashedly condemning the legalization of homosexuality and abortion. And, in another recent interview with The Mirror, Fury said: “There are girls who open their legs to every Tom, Dick and Harry. They are looked upon as rubbish. If I had a sister who did that, I’d hang her.”

He even dissed MMA, saying he heard it's for "white kids who can't box."

The BBC said it has no plans to remove Fury from the SPOTY shortlist despite the emergence of the interview.

Fury captured the WBA, IBF and WBO belts via a unanimous points decision last weekend. I don't think that SPOTY is such a sure bet.

Wladimir Klitschko and Hayden Panettiere welcome baby girl: Report

One of Hollywood and the sports world's most inconceivable pairings did conceive and, last week, Hayden Panettiere and her fiance Wladimir Klitschko finally welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Kaya, into the world.

new 


Baby Klitschko weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz, and 20 inches. “We are over the moon and madly in love!” the parents told People magazine.

For those of you measuring at home, that's only 40 inches shorter than mom and 61 inches less than dad's reach.




The 25-year-old "Nashville" star and the 38-year-old heavyweight boxing world champion dated in 2009 before splitting in May 2011, only to rekindle their romance in April 2013. Panettiere confirmed  the wedding rumors last year.

Welcome to the world little Kaya. I'm guessing if it was a boy, his name would be KO.

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko are 'secretly engaged' after rekindling romance

It's only been a couple of months since Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko started Round 2 of their romance, but now it looks like the final bell is already ringing — a wedding bell that is.

The 23-year-old film and television actress and the 37-year-old heavyweight boxing champion have reportedly gotten secretly engaged and are planning a summer wedding this summer, reports USWeekly.com.

A source told the magazine: "Very few people know, and she isn't wearing her ring publicly yet."

"Looks like a summer wedding!" added the source.

The engagement reports come after the five foot two Panetierre and the six foot six Klitschko were spotted kissing at the Miami Heat game in Florida on Sunday.



This all comes as a surprise because back in January, Hayden had denied that the two had officially reconnected after the Ukranian was seen dropping her off at the airport.

When she landed in Los Angeles on January 11 she insisted to TMZ that the former couple were just good friends, but her lovestruck demeanor somewhat spelled otherwise.

"We've been friends for five years now, so we're just good buddies," she told the website.

"I knew that was going to be the question!," she giggled. "I was lassoed in."



Her reunion in Florida with Klitschko comes after the star split with former New York Jets receiver Scott McKnight in December.

The actress and football player had been dating since June 2011, just one month after she split from fellow pro-athlete Klitschko.

Hayden had been dating the Ukrainian sports star since 2009 before parting ways in 2011.

Klitschko said they called time on their 18-month romance because it was difficult coping with having a long-distance relationship.

Sounds like she's got a mean hook.

Ukraine boxer has best gold medal dance in London

Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine won the heavyweight gold medal in the Olympic boxing tournament on Saturday night, outlasting Italy's Clemente Russo 14-11.

The Ukrainian— who sported one of the most interesting haircuts (half a Mohawk?) at the London Games— literally danced his way around the center of the ring after being announced as the winner.

Usyk's astonishingly nimble Cossack-style victory dance had a little Ed Grimley mixed in but the fighter is judged in the ring and not on Dancing with the Stars.

The 6-foot-3 boxer had reason to kick up his shoes.  Usrk is the third Olympic gold medal winner in Ukraine's history joining Wladimir Klitschko and Vasyl Lomachenko.


Usyk broke up a close fight with Russo heading into the third round.  The much taller Usrk pummeled the Italian with some big shots before taking over the match.



There might be a few more Ukrainian jigs in the ring this weekend.  The Ukraine boxing team will lead the Olympic field with five medalists.  Lomachenko goes for his second Olympic gold Sunday.

Russo took home his second straight Olympic silver medal.

Jets QB Mark Sanchez Gets Cozy With Hayden Panettiere

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez likes his blondes like Rex Ryan likes his feet.  According to the New York Post, Sanchez has been spotted squiring actress and animal-activist Hayden Panetierre around Los Angeles and Las Vegas hot spots.  Sanchez might want to bone up on his fighting skills; Panetierre is currently in a long-distance relationship with heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

Never mind "Save the cheerleader, save the world," someone better save the quarterback because the title of Sanchez's next HBO reality show might be called "Hard Knockouts." 

Sanchez and the petite Panetierre were seen on Wednesday night in L.A., where they shared drinks at Beacher's Madhouse.  Customers said the couple were whispering and getting close to each other.

A source told the Post that "They were clearly trying to hide their affection.  They used their friends as a buffer, but it didn't work so well."

The usually low-key Sanchez must like courting trouble.  He was recently linked to a similar-looking 17 year-old high-schooler who alleged that she had a romance with the Jets QB.  The teen, Eliza Kruger even took photos of Sanchez's tossed bed.

This time, Sanchez may have to worry less about having 'dolphin-free tuna' on his plate, while  dining with Panetierre, than getting waled on himself.

Klitschko is the reigning IBF heavyweight champion of the world.  This is no Mark Gastineau or even Tommy Zbikowski in the ring either.  The Ukrainian giant stands 6'6" and tips the scales at a pre-lap-band Ryan-like 240 pounds of muscle.   Klitschko has held the title since 2006 and has a career record of 55-3 with 49 knockouts.

Panetierre seems to fit Sanchez's type--young, blonde and petite.  Besides being spotted in L.A., the couple was seen together with friends in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.

The actress has been linked to Klitschko since last year and sources say she's "just friends" with Sanchez--who is reportedly a buddy of the heavyweight fighter.

Representatives for Panetierre had no comment and Sanchez's reps couldn't be reached by the source.

Klitschko knocked out Samuel Peter in September and is currently preparing to defend his heavyweight title against David Hyde in July.
