Here's boxer David Allen using some genital intimidation tactics at a weigh-in for his fight in London ... and it's working.

Allen (10-2-1) is fighting David Howe at the O2 Arena this weekend ... and hopes to prove he's the total package.

Forget Conor McGregor ... Floyd Mayweather could have a superfight with a BOXER -- because undefeated champ Danny Garcia says he wants a piece of Money May after he beats Keith Thurman this weekend.

Garcia -- the reigning WBC welterweight champion -- is 33-0 and says beating the also undefeated Thurman on Saturday night would help him get to the next level of big money fights.

He joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday on FS1) and explained why he wants either Floyd or Manny Pacquiao next ... and says he's 100% confident he can beat 'em BOTH.

What really happened to Ivan Drago after that crushing (yet satisfying) loss to Rocky Balboa???

Dolph Lundgren has a few ideas ... and they involve brutal Russian punishment and a job with the Putin administration.

Dolph appeared on the Hallmark Channel's "Home & Family" (airs Thursday morning) where he was asked to pick up Drago's life story from where it left off in 1985 after Rocky beat that ass in Moscow.

Long story short ... dude had it rough. But screw him -- he killed Apollo.

It's not even close ... if Conor McGregor fights Floyd Mayweather, Muhammad Ali would've rooted for the IRISHMAN ... so says the champ's ex-wife.

Floyd Mayweather's Vegas home was broken into this weekend while the boxer was in L.A. celebrating his 40th birthday ... and we're told thieves got away with $150k worth of stuff.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Mayweather is listed as the victim in a burglary report for a home he owns in a gated community next to a golf course.

Law enforcement sources tell us it appears someone forced a door open into the home office in the back of the house and stole several purses.

Other sources connected to the investigation tell us there is also at least 1 expensive watch unaccounted for ... and possibly other items missing.

Our law enforcement sources say cops have been in contact with Floyd's camp and the boxer has been instructed to take an inventory of his valuables.

Conor McGregor has been hitting the boxing gym with an Irish boxing sensation -- who tells TMZ Sports the UFC star is 100% confident the fight with Floyd Mayweather will actually take place.

We spoke with 25-year-old Michael Conlan -- who won an Olympic bronze medal for Ireland in 2012. Conlan says he became friends with McGregor a while back and the two have been tight ever since.

In fact, Conlan says McGregor has agreed to carry the Irish flag when Conlan walks to the ring during his upcoming pro fighting debut on St. Patrick's Day at Madison Square Garden.

In the meantime, both Conlan and Conor have been training together at an L.A. boxing gym -- as recently captured by TheMacLife.com.

We asked Conlan how McGregor's boxing training is going -- one thing's clear ... he's definitely impressed.

Deontay Wilder was still ready to swing hours after defending his belt -- getting in the middle of a hotel brawl involving heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale ... and TMZ Sports got video of the melee.

The chaos erupted in the lobby of the Westin in Birmingham, Alabama ... just across the street from the arena, where hours earlier Wilder scored a 5th round KO of Gerald Washington. In the video, you can see Wilder give someone a huge shove. Breazeale doesn't appear to be the one who received the blow.

The champ mentioned in a post-fight news conference he had beef with Breazeale -- who had fought on the undercard -- and it appears it all came to a head when their entourages met in the lobby.

Cops reportedly broke up the fight after it spilled into the hotel parking lot. Neither Wilder or Breazeale was arrested, but Dominic made it clear on social media ... this feud is just getting started.

Dana White has an update on the status of the Conor McGregor/Floyd Mayweather megafight ... "WE ARE NOWHERE."

TMZ Sports saw Dana out in L.A. Friday afternoon ... and asked if there has been any progress made in the negotiation.

FYI -- Dana, Floyd, and Conor are all in Los Angeles.

The answer, no.

In addition to telling us who Conor definitely will not fight next ... the UFC honcho also breaks down with who and when Conor will next step into the Octagon.

If Floyd Mayweather doesn't wanna get beat up, he should avoid running into Conor McGregor anywhere outside of a boxing ring ... so says Jay Glazer.

Glazer says there's a great chance Conor and Floyd's paths will cross while both are in L.A. ... and if that happens, it won't be a good situation for Mayweather.

Jay says there might be one savior that'd keep Floyd upright and conscious if they were to mix it up on the streets.

Floyd Mayweather wants everyone to know he's here in L.A. -- which is interesting ... since Conor McGregor is, too.

The boxing legend hit up Catch in West Hollywood Wednesday night -- the hottest restaurant in town where Floyd KNOWS the paparazzi would go crazy for him. He was right ... it was madness.

What's interesting is Conor is also in town -- we saw him in Bev Hills the other day and he's been posting photos all over town ever since.

Last time they were in the same city (Vegas), Conor declared it his own and mocked Floyd for refusing to sit down with him.

Will things change in L.A.? Stay tuned ...

Openly gay boxer Yusaf Mack unleashed a barber shop beatdown -- attacking a man he claims has been harassing him online over his sexual orientation.

TMZ Sports confirmed paramedics were called to the L A Clippers shop in Philadelphia Saturday evening ... after Mack wailed on the man in front of customers and employees.

Witnesses tell us Mack attacked the dude while the victim's head was in a sink in the middle of a wash.

Mack tells us he got sick and tired of the online harassment and decided to confront the guy face-to-face. Mack is unapologetic and says the guy got what he deserved.

We also reached out to the victim who didn't want to talk ... but has since issued several homophobic statements on his Facebook page, including:

"I rather have a video of some beating me up then a video of someone seeing me take a d*** up my a** any day."

The man says he will retaliate against Mack ... "Me and him gonna fight again."

Floyd Mayweather says he's not the reason for the hold-up on a superfight with Conor McGregor -- and is pointing the finger at the UFC.

"Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done ... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people," Mayweather wrote.

For the record, Dana White has already offered terms -- $25 mil per fight plus a Pay-Per-View split. Floyd laughed it off and never countered.

As for Conor, he's in Vegas -- which he now calls "My City" -- despite the fact Floyd lives there.

Finally, Floyd Mayweather is on the same page as Dana White -- and says there is NO DEAL in place for him to fight Conor McGregor.

Floyd -- like Dana -- is shooting down reports out of Ireland that Floyd and Conor had agreed on terms for a megafight ... and were working things out with an unnamed 3rd party before signing the contract.

"Although there has been several rumors circulating through media suggesting that I will have an upcoming fight, I'd like to set the record straight and state that there has been no deals made on my behalf in regards to a bout with any fighter at this time," Floyd said.

Dana White tells TMZ Sports plain and simple ... when it comes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight, "There is no deal."

Conor McGregor is staying in fighting shape -- brushing up on his boxing skills just in case that superfight with Floyd Mayweather actually happens.

He looked okay. Throwing some decent shots. Flashing good power.

Dana White is currently in Houston.

Floyd Mayweather is also currently in Houston.

Coincidence?

Yes ... says Dana White who says there's been ZERO progress made in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor negotiations.

"I think the odds of this happening are like the odds of me being the backup QB for Brady on Sunday."
