Or Devin Haney? Haney confronted Bernard Hopkins backstage after Garcia’s win.. WBC Emeritus Champion Haney and his dad Bill pressed Hopkins on a fight with Ryan Garcia.Caleb Plant does his job vs Vincent FeigenbutzSuper Middleweight World Champion Caleb Plant put on a show in his hometown of Nashville—defending his IBF 168-pound with a 10th-round TKO of Germany's Vincent Feigenbutz on PBC on FOXYou’re 27, in your prime, and undefeated, fight someone inside the top 30 champBlessed with quick hands and fast feet, Tennessee native Caleb Plant has worked his way from a top rising prospect to a 168-pound world champion.NewsGGG calf injuryMiddleweight world titleholder Gennadiy Golovkin has suffered a right calf injury that is likely to once again push back his mandatory defense against Kamil Szeremeta.Golovkin and his team have filed for an extension with the IBF, and the fight now will likely take place in May or June, sources said.Previously, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn told ESPN last week that the fight, which initially had been planned for Feb. 29 before being moved back for various reasons to March 28, likely wouldn't happen until at least April.A DAZN spokesperson confirmed the promotion is looking at new dates for the fight. Are his best days behind him?Canelo? Plant says Oscars offer was bunkWith Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya still on the hunt to finalize Canelo Alvarez’s next opponent in May, one person it apparently won’t be is 168lb titleholder Caleb Plant. Plant, who just recently won handily, recently said he’s not too interested in taking a Canelo fight at this time, saying he would have to compromise himself by taking the fight on short notice.Well according to De La Hoya, he has no idea what Plant is talking about since there’s still plenty of time for a full training camp before May 2. Either way, De La Hoya says the ship has sailed on Plant, who will never get another chance to fight the Mexican star.PreviewMikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas Feb. 29Former four-division world titleholder Mikey Garcia will return to the ring to face former two-division titlist Jessie Vargas, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn made official on Wednesday.The fight had been rumored for weeks, and on Sunday it became clearer it would happen when Garcia announced on his 32nd birthday that he had signed with Hearn, who also promotes Vargas, and would fight on Feb. 29 (DAZN).The 12-round welterweight fight will take place at the Ford Center at The Star, the training facility of the Dallas Cowboys, in Frisco, Texas, which has hosted only three previous boxing events.Garcia (39-1, 30 KOs), of Moreno Valley, California, who has won world titles at featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight, will fight not far from where he had his previous bout and most disappointing performance. That was on March 16 at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas, where he jumped up two weight classes to challenge the much bigger welterweight world titleholder Errol Spence Jr. and lost a shutout decision before a crowd of 47,525 in the main event of the first-ever Fox Sports pay-per-view card.Vargas (29-2-2, 11 KOs), 30, of Las Vegas, who has won belts at junior welterweight and welterweight, fought to back-to-back draws in 2018 against Adrien Broner and Thomas Dulorme before knocking out former lightweight titlist Humberto Soto in the sixth round on April 26.Vargas faced Soto at 150 pounds in what he thought would be his first fight on his way to being a full-fledged 154-pound junior middleweight. But the lure of a fight with a major name in Garcia convinced him to fight another 147-pound bout.FURY WILDER 2This weekend, the boxing world turns it's eyes to Las Vegas for a rematch with the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs), whom he fought to a controversial draw in December 2018, live on FOX and ESPN+ pay-per-view.Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) is the undefeated former unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring, and lineal champion, who was stripped of his titles and charged with anti-doping violations.They will fight for the WBC and vacant The Ring, and lineal heavyweight titles on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada.The first fight was a draw. One card was 113-113, from judge Phil Edwards, with Fury docked the two points for knockdowns that otherwise would have given him a win. One card was 114-112 for Fury, eight to four in his favor in terms of rounds scored; even counting the knockdowns, judge Robert Tapper felt Fury had done enough to win. And then there was judge Alejandro Rochin, who broke from the pack and score the fight 115-111 Wilder. He was one of a brave and hearty few who felt that Wilder deserved the victory even without the knockdowns.The fight, which sold about 325,000 on pay-per-view, became one of the most talked-about fights of the decade after the fight. There was plenty of conversation about the scoring, about Fury’s insane ability to recover from that 12th round knockdown (which became a meme, something pretty much unheard of in boxing), about Wilder’s power, and about how dramatic the fight had been.Contrasting styles, Contrasting camps, Contrasting personalities, but the one thing Wilder and Fury have in common is their ambition to be the best in the world.THE AFTERMATHWhen the WBC ordered a rematch in early 2019, Fury did something Tyson Fury has often done: he zagged on ‘em, turning it down and instead signing with Top Rank, while promising he would eventually fight Wilder again. Wilder, of course, took it as an opportunity to say that Fury ducked the rematch, but he also routinely guaranteed the rematch would happen in time.Instead of fighting one another last year, Wilder and Fury scored a couple of wins. Wilder knocked out Dominic Breazeale and Luis Ortiz, while Fury rampaged over Tom Schwarz and then had some real struggles with Otto Wallin.Fury’s purpose in signing with Top Rank and ESPN was to become a bigger name with the American public. Certainly, Fury is a bigger name now than he was a year ago, but Wilder is still the star.FURRY NEARLY KILLED HIMSELFParis Fury remembers her husband, Tyson, getting into his sports car after telling her, “I’m not coming back.” Then there was the sound of an engine accelerating almost violently as he sped away. He wanted to kill himself.He planned to crash his car into a nearby bridge. He drove faster and faster toward that destination. Meanwhile, even as he drove, Paris was frantically trying to locate him. He had turned is phone off. She called his father and his brother, and they didn’t know where he was, either.But then, he says, an inner voice told him: “You don’t want to do this.” He pulled off to the side of the road as his inner voice’ persisted: “You don’t want to do this. If you do, you will destroy your wife, your kids, your family.”Since winning his title, the invisible demons within him were trying to take his soul. Depression is like that. He began to drink every day. He used recreational drugs to excess. His weight ballooned to 400 pounds. Even his 6-foot-9 height couldn’t mask the way he looked.It took Fury almost two years to understand what was happening to him. He took the title from Wladimir Klitschko on Nov. 28. 2015. He did not return to the ring until 2018. The time in between were, for him, a trip to hell and back.He told the British press: “I crashed. When I weighed 400 pounds, every joint in my body ached. I could not carry that weight. I was in constant pain. I couldn’t sleep. It seems funny that a man can win the world championship and enjoy nothing. I didn‘t understand back then.”BREAKDOWNFight-wise, Fury (29-0-1, 20 KO) is adamant that he’s not coming to box the way he did in 2018. Even if he comes in heavier as planned, he’ll probably be in better fight shape than he was the first time, when he was just six months into a comeback after nearly three years away from the sport.Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KO) has changed nothing, it would seem. Everything he’s done in his camp forever with the same trainers has worked out fine. Wilder and his team all have bought into the idea that no matter what, sooner or later, his power is going to come into play.Who wins the fight and how? @ThrowingJabs on Twitter and  Throwing Jabs Podcast on Facebook Visit clovercrestmedia.com/medium to read Jared Jones and Jace Garcia's articles and for a link  to subscribe to the podcast.
