    Here is what happened with Alex Leapai today in his comeback according to the australian media:


    ALEX Leapai blew up at Aussie boxing officials after his fight against Roger Izonritei was declared a technical draw in incredible scenes in Brisbane.

    Leapai opened up a nasty cut on Izonritei forehead in the third round, forcing the referee to stop the fight and allow Izonritei’s cornerman to address the open wound.

    There was some confusion over how the bloody cut occurred with the referee indicating to judges the cut was the result of an accidental headbutt, despite video replays indicating the cut appeared to be inflicted by a stray elbow as Leapai followed through with a right hook.

    Legendary commentator Bob Sheriden described the forehead wound as a “deep puncture”.

    Despite the best efforts of the cornerman, the wound could not be closed up, forcing referee Derek Milham to call a stop to the contest.

    The controversial decision came as Leapai was dominating the fight, landing monster shots at will.

    Leapai landed a flurry of punches on Izonritei mid-way through the second round.

    Sheriden described Leapai’s unanswered punches as “heavy shots”.

    Izonritei had no response, but Leapai wasn’t able to put him down before the bell.

    Leapai’s dominance continued in the third round before the apparent accidental elbow.

    The former heavyweight title contender erupted in his post fight interview, declaring, “This is wrong” after being told the fight had been declared a technical draw.

    “We’ve got to fix this up,” he said.

    “This is ... I could say a swear world, but this is wrong,” Leapai said.

    “I dominated in the first two rounds and I knew I was going to dominate in (the third) round and take him out.

    “Come on ref, you’ve got to get your s*** right man. We’re not doing kickboxing here. We’re boxing here

    “This won’t stop me. I’m still going and I’m going to make it to the top and if I have to fight him again so be it, but there’s going to be a rematch because this is bull mate.”

    Very easy win for Dychko. His opponent fits the tomato can description to a " t ". Dickon's first two opponents were much better than his third. While I applaud his activity, his management needs to at least find guys with some heart to fight back

    Joey Dewejko or possibly offer Michael Hunter enough to move back up to heavyweight.

    Dewejko would be a good step up fight for him but Hunter would beat him.

    Invincible in professional rings Luis Ortiz (28-0, 24 KO) according to the *****.net portal is the most likely next rival WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 KO).

    Apart from the Cuban boxer, possible opponents of "Bronze Bomber" are also Dillian Whyte (22-1, 16 KO), Dominic Breazeale (19-1, 17 KO) and Andy Ruiz Jr (29-1, 19 KO).

    Wilder originally had to face Ortiz on November 4, but in the "King Kong" organism prohibited diuretics were detected and the duel was canceled. Ultimately, however, the Cuban boxer was cleared of allegations of deliberate use of doping and he returned between ropes last Friday. Immediately after Ortiz's fight, Wilder appeared in the ring and boxers in front of the camera lenses stood eye to eye for the first time

    Alexander Povetkin on the possibility of the "Super Series" in the heavyweight division: I'm calm about the super series, I'm for a beautiful boxing, so if it will happen -it will happen. If not I'm okay as well.

    "Who knows, I might not even go back to the British Boxing Board of Control after how they have conducted themselves and the manner in which they behaved around the whole thing," Fury said in the video, which has since been deleted.

    "So get it out of your mind that it's cement I am going with you guys. Because I have a vast array of board of controls around the world with open arms welcoming the Gypsy King," he added before using an expletive to describe how he feels he was treated.
