“Carl Froch Punching Air rn”: Set to Break Tyson Fury’s Record, Anthony Joshua Receives Major Boost from HE Turki Alalshikh and Fans Are All for It…

By
Carl Froch VS Tyson Fury

It might be the fight of the year, and it has everything to offer. Two British heavyweights dance around the ring to score a knockout and secure a golden ticket to fight for the undisputed title next. What’s better than actually putting on such a show before their home crowd, too? So, the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight is the hype, and the fans are looking forward to some fireworks and some heavy blows, as they fight it out for the biggest prize of their careers. And it seems it might also surpass what Tyson Fury pulled off two years ago.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

Joshua, 34, and Dubois, 26, will clash at Wembley Stadium on September 21 for the IBF heavyweight title and the massive Riyadh card has already swayed the fans. The developments are under process to accommodate as many fans as possible, as HE Turki Alalshikh has requested some additions to the iconic arena.

Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois set on course to shatter some records

TalkSports’ Michael Benson turned to his X handle and revealed the Joshua vs. Dubois fight could break the current attendance record at Wembley Stadium. Previously, Fury had gone up against Dillian Whyte in 2022 and attracted a crowd of 94,000, the largest ever for a combat event in the UK. He wrote, “Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois could break the British boxing attendance record at Wembley Stadium on Sept 21st as His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has said they’ve now applied to extend the capacity with the aim of surpassing the 94,000 who attended Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.”

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov

Interestingly, HE Turki Alalshikh, in a recent post on X, admitted to pleading with authorities to extend the capacity of Wembley and also hoped to pull up the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. Whether that comes true or not will depend on how the fans perceive the fight, and it seems they are swayed by it.

Fans rally behind ‘AJ’

One fan called Joshua, the one-third face of boxing, and demanded respect for the British fighter. They declared, “Anthony Joshua is 1/3 face’s of boxing! Put some respect on his name.” While Canelo Alvarez lays claim to the current face of boxing, the other part half is clearly Gervonta Davis.

Canelo Alvarez

A user criticized ‘AJ’ for cherrypicking an opponent and believed the last worthy opponent he faced was Oleksandr Usyk. Predicting a knockout, they argued, “The last good opponent Joshua had was Usyk smh AJ stops Dubois in 7.” Interestingly, after suffering a defeat from the Ukrainian fighter for a second time in 2022, Joshua is on an exciting 4-0 run.

Froch and Joshua were Olympic teammates but have since lost their close bond. Joshua recently called Froch a “p****y” in an interview and Froch went on to leak their WhatsApp DMs as well. Someone referenced the recent beef between Carl Froch and Joshua, at 28-3. They announced, “Carl froch punching air rn.” The comment was also in reference to Carl Froch’s long-standing record of 80,000 spectators at Wembley which he held in 2014 in a fight against George Groves, which has since been broken multiple times by both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

A comment denied accepting anything from HE Turki Alalshikh. The comment read, “We don’t believe nothing turki says about a sell out 😂😂.” The comment could be a jibe at Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov, where the Saudi adviser claimed to be selling out the arena, but later some contested that promoters distributed free tickets to fill the arena.

Lastly, one fan threw shade on Joshua’s opponent and praised AJ for his popularity and for carrying on promotional duties. They insisted, “AJ be carrying these unmarketable boxers on his back 😂.” Joshua has sold over 1 million PPV buys in his fights with Andy Ruiz and Wladimir Klitschko. He also sold almost 700,000 PPVs when he fought Francis Ngannou earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether he can replicate similar success when he fights Dubois.

What do you make of this development regarding Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois? Do you believe the fight will shatter attendance records on September 21? Let us know in the comments below.

Francis Ngannou’s Emphatic Response to Fighting Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury in MMA…

By
Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury

PFL star and former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, has spoken about the potential of facing his former boxing opponents, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in MMA.

JUST IN: How much Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will earn from heavyweight fight… 

 

Despite Ngannou making the switch over to boxing to face two of the best heavyweights in the world in his first two fights, ‘The Predator’ doesn’t seem confident that the British heavyweight boxing stars, Fury and Joshua, will reciprocate what he did and come into a different sport to face him.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

Last year, former UFC heavyweight champion, Ngannou, made his boxing debut in a huge super-fight against Fury. After losing a very close decision to ‘The Gypsy King,’ which many people actually thought Ngannou won, the Cameroonian ecured himself another huge boxing bout against Joshua just five months later. The fight against Josua was very different for Ngannou, as he got completely flatlined inside two rounds and put out cold.

Despite taking a brutal KO loss, the boxing world heaped praise on Ngannou for stepping into the ring against two of the best and most dominant heavyweight boxers in his first two professional fights.

Anthony Joshua

When asked whether or not the British heavyweight boxing stars would do something similar to Ngannou and make a move over to MMA to face him, ‘The Predator’ did not seem confident that could happen as it is a lot more difficult to learn all aspects of martial arts as opposed to the one he had to, which was just solely boxing. Speaking to MMA journalist, John Morgan at last week’s PFL DC media scrum, Ngannou said the following:

“They don’t want that smoke. Nobody wants that, and I wouldn’t want it either. I don’t blame them. There is a lot of elements in MMA that’s way complicated for boxers to crossover than for MMA fighters to crossover to boxing. I need to see them do some practice. Maybe one of them have the wrestling skill. You don’t of the grappling skill. We need to see.”

Despite moves to MMA for both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua being extremely unlikely, both men have shown interest and teased moves to MMA in the past.

Just after his brutal KO victory over Francis Ngannou earlier this year, ‘AJ’ posted training footage on social media of him kicking and kneeing pads which led to many people speculating he could be teasing a move over to MMA.

As for Fury, he has also shown interest in competing in MMA in the past. In recent years, ‘The Gypsy King’ has also been pictured training with well-known MMA fighters, Darren Till and Nick Diaz, and has also voiced the opinion that due to his bare-knuckle past, he could transition well to MMA.

Andre Berto and Andre Ward Rally Behind Claressa Shields Against “Blatant Disrespect” From “Grown Men”….

By
Andre Berto and Andre Ward Rally VS Claressa Shields

There’s no doubt that Claressa Shields is one of the greats in the sport. Her achievements outweigh most names in the community, and in fact, she recently won a title in a fifth weight class, becoming the heavyweight champion. But Andre Berto and Andre Ward feel she still doesn’t receive the kind of respect, notoriety, and money she deserves.

JUST IN: Claressa Shields KOs Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse in 2nd round, winning 4th and 5th titles…

You see, the thing is, Shields has always been very outspoken about the things she has done in the sport. Be it her two Olympic medals, or her undisputed status in two weight classes, she never misses an opportunity to boast about herself. This doesn’t sit well with everyone and don’t forget everyone has haters as well, meaning she receives a lot of hate online. And in the face of such an instance, while appearing in the All The Smoke Fight podcast of late, the Andre duo defended Shields against her haters.

CLARESSA SHIELDS

And Claressa Shields responds in agreement

Berto emphasized his support for Shields while recognizing her achievements in the sport, stating, “I believe that she continues to feel like she has to do more and more to continue to try to gain any type of real respect.” He noted that Shields has branched out into MMA, rapping, and YouTube, not just out of passion but to create more buzz around her, “because she feels like she needs to.”

Despite these efforts, Berto argued that Shields still isn’t receiving the love, recognition, or sponsorships she deserves. He pointed out that Shields feels other female athletes, who she doesn’t believe are on her level, “continue to get” the recognition she’s working hard to achieve. Berto speculated that this disparity could stem from her background or the way she speaks—whatever the reason, he suggested it’s an issue that needs to be addressed.

Championing Shields’ success, Berto asked pointedly, “What else does she need to do to get those real dollars, those real endorsement dollars?” During the same conversation, Andre Ward added his perspective on the criticism Shields faces online, saying, “I’m not standing for the blatant disrespect to this young lady from these grown men.

Later that day, clips from the podcast began circulating on X, catching Shields’ attention. She responded passionately, “Yeah! Cause wtf wrong with yall ni**as!!!” Nevertheless, Shields remains committed to proving she’s the best in women’s boxing, upholding her title as ‘The GWOAT.’

‘He wants to beat Usyk’: Barry Hearn says Anthony Joshua still wants third shot at Oleksandr Usyk….

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

Anthony Joshua twice came up short to Oleksandr Usyk, but the Matchroom founder says he still wants to avenge those losses.

JUST IN: How much Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will earn from heavyweight fight…

Matchroom founder Barry Hearn tells Sky Sports that his company has a responsibility to deliver a big British fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury — who is currently scheduled to rematch Oleksandr Usyk while Joshua is lined up to face Daniel Dubois. But while Fury is focused on Usyk, Hearn says Joshua also has an eye on the Ukrainian who beat him in back to back fights between 2021-2022.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

“He wants to beat Usyk,” Hearn said. “Because the first fight he had with Usyk, frankly he came out second best. He went away, he regrouped, he learned, he studied and he still got beat in the second fight. That’s why he got so disappointed in the second fight.”

SEE MORE: Francis Ngannou to make long-awaited MMA comeback against 6ft 8in giant after boxing defeats to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua…

Hearn would continue by characterizing Joshua as a special type of athlete who is motivated by much more than money, and it’s his competitive spirit that drives him to try to reach boxing’s mountaintop once again.

Anthony Joshua and  Daniel Dubois

“These people want to win and they want a legacy. I don’t think Anthony Joshua will sleep at night until he is unified.”

Joshua, however, mustn’t get distracted from the task at hand as a loss to Dubois could likely ruin the prospects for him getting the fights he’s looking towards. Joshua and Dubios will go head-to-head on September 21 at Wembley Stadium while Fury and Usyk rematch in December, and should everything go according to Matchroom’s plans, there will be another big fight for Joshua to come thereafter.

How much Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will earn from heavyweight fight…

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

The much-anticipated heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is finally set to happen at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh this Saturday.

JUST IN: Tyson Fury set for surprise career change ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch…

The pair will be battling it out for all four major heavyweight titles, marking the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000 and the first champion of the four-belt era. Originally pencilled in for February, the fight was delayed due to an injury Fury picked up during training.

Tyson Fury VS Oleksandr Usyk

The postponement has only ramped up the tension, with a recent spat involving Fury’s dad John and a member of Usyk’s team adding more spice to the mix. On top of the championship belts, both undefeated fighters are set to pocket a hefty payday.

While the final figure won’t be confirmed until after the fight, it’s estimated to be around $150m (£116m), according to The Independent. Last year, it was agreed that the purse would be split 70/30 in Fury’s favour.

SEE MORE: Francis Ngannou to make long-awaited MMA comeback against 6ft 8in giant after boxing defeats to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua…

Usyk accepted the smaller share on the condition that Fury donates £1m of his winnings to Ukraine, reports Birmingham Live. If the reported purse is accurate, Tyson Fury is set to bag a whopping $105m (£82.9m) from this weekend’s bout.

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury

Last year, legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum revealed that the ‘Gypsy King’ would not be satisfied with a mere $100m offer. In an interview, Bob Arum revealed: “If you told Tyson Fury he’s set to make $100m, he’d really get p****d off,” elaborating further by saying, “Because he thinks and I think he’s right that he’s gonna make a lot more than that.”

Tyson Fury is no stranger to high earning fights in Saudi Arabia, having

previously pocketed a hefty £35m from his crossover bout with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou last October.

Gervonta Davis Next Fight Date And Location Reported…

By
GERVONTA TANKS

For the vast majority of boxing fans, Gervonta Davis sits on the periphery of the top three pound-for-pound fighters in the sport but when it comes to pay-per-view draw, he and Canelo Alvarez remain at the top of the pile. Now it appears as though there is a new date in the calendar to be marked, as Davis’ second fight of the year has been touted for a date and location.

Canelo Alvarez

JUST IN: Trainer wants Jose Valenzuela to face Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis next…

‘Tank’ was upgraded from WBA (Regular) lightweight champion to full WBA world lightweight champion last November and made a first defence of his new strap when he faced Frank Martin at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and the Baltimore-born knockout-artist obliged with yet another stoppage win.

With the belts fragmented across the 135lb division, there is an expectation on Gervonta Davis’ shoulders to compete in unification bouts against the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko (IBF) and Shakur Stevenson (WBC), but it is the latter who has been closely linked to a showdown with the southpaw sensation, after ‘Loma’ ruled himself out.

Instead, it is Davis and Stevenson have been rumoured to face one another in an all-American affair for the WBA and WBC titles, with whispers even circulating that the duo had agreed a deal to face one another in November, only for Stevenson to deny those claims.

Gervonta Davis vs Vasyl Lomachenko

Unfortunately for fight fans, William Zepeda now seems set to take on Stevenson after it was reported that the WBC title-holder had ‘verbally agreed’ to meet the Mexican, who is ranked as the number one contender with all four sanctioning bodies. However, Davis is still expected to fight in November, as TGB Promotions have booked out the T-Mobile Arena (Las Vegas) for a card on November 2nd.

That being said, Promoter of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn, who has been linked with signing free-agent Stevenson in recent weeks, set out his plans to make Tank-Stevenson in 2025, as per SportsKeeda.

“Shakur is in a good spot at the moment, there’s a lot of people talking about him. He’s gonna have a few offers, hopefully he comes with [Matchroom Boxing]. But it’s got to work for us and him. But when you look at ‘Tank’s’ options, the only thing he can really do is move to [140 pounds].”

“If I’m Shakur, I chase the [William Zepeda] fight. I keep building my brand into the ‘Tank’ fight next year. That’s a big fight when it happens. It’s one of the best fights in boxing.”

As far as potential opponents for November 2nd go, aside from William Zepeda, 21-year-old Floyd Schofield (17-0) is next in line in the WBA rankings but the highly-rated prospect is unlikely to rush in to a fight of that magnitude just yet.

Meanwhile, Edwin De Los Santos spoiled the party when he fought to a dull split-decision defeat to Stevenson last year, the Dominican is ranked #4 with the WBA and would provide ‘Tank’ with a perfect springboard to do what Stevenson couldn’t and knock De Los Santos out, to set up a potential 2025 scrap with his lightweight rival.

Tyson Fury set for surprise career change ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch…

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY AND ANTHONY JOSHUA

As Tyson Fury gears up to rematch Oleksandr Usyk, his first racehorse is preparing to make her debut this week.

The former heavyweight world champion’s two-year-old filly, Big Gypsy King, runs at Newmarket on Friday afternoon in the 5.45 race.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

And Fury will be hoping she can score a knockout blow as he watches on from the stands.

The young maiden is trained by Darryll Holland, who has high hopes for the Gold Star Promotions horse.

“Big Gypsy King is a very nice filly and has a big build — just like her owner!” he told The Sun.

“Traditionally, horses have been a big part of Tyson’s family.

“It’s brilliant for the sport to have a global superstar like him involved.

“I was introduced to Tyson’s manager Spencer Brown, and things just went from there.

“I’m really pleased Tyson is now part of the team at Harraton Court Stables…

Carl Froch VS Tyson Fury

“Tyson hasn’t been down to the yard, but I’ve been sending his team video updates and I’ve said hello to him when he has been in the car with Spencer.

“They are very busy people, but they wanted to come and see the horse run and, thankfully, it has worked out as Tyson will soon be getting ready for his rematch with Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

“Hopefully if Big Gypsy King does well Tyson might get a few more.”

Fury is set to rematch Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the WBC, WBO and WBA belts after dropping a split decision to the Ukrainian in May.

Anthony Joshua and  Daniel Dubois

Their inaugural encounter was all four major sanctioning body belts, however, Usyk has vacated the IBF strap.

The IBF wanted Usyk to face Daniel Dubois but the 37-year-old wasn’t able to accept their call due to the rematch clause in his contract with Fury.

As a result, Dubois has been upgraded to IBF world champion and will defend his title against Anthony Joshua on September 21 at Wembley Stadium.

Whoever emerges victorious from that fight is the favourite to face the winner of Usyk vs Fury next.

However, if Fury loses again, some believe his boxing future will be in doubt.

“If he loses to Usyk, I think that will be the last we see of Tyson Fury,” Carl Froch said on his YouTube channel.

“He has had a bit of a time out to get over the defeat, and go for it and had a good training camp.

“At 36-years-old he struggles to do the weight, he is slowing down and the stats are suggesting he is way past his best.

“If he goes out and earns another £50million and then he gets beat again, he isn’t going to fight again.

“He’s been great for the sport, but if Usyk does the job, which I think he does, [then I think he will] turn it in.”

Joshua predicts Usyk to edge out Fury in rematch…

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has shared his prediction for the upcoming rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, a bout that has captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide.

JUST IN: Francis Ngannou to make long-awaited MMA comeback against 6ft 8in giant after boxing defeats to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua…

Having a deep history with both fighters, Joshua weighed in on who he believes will come out on top.

Joshua, who has traded words with Fury for nearly a decade without yet meeting him in the ring, faced Usyk in 2021 and 2022, suffering back-to-back defeats that cost him his unified world titles. Since then, Joshua has bounced back with four consecutive victories, including a stunning second-round knockout of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in March.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

As Joshua prepares for his world title clash against Daniel Dubois, he offered his thoughts on the Fury vs. Usyk rematch, one of the most anticipated fights in recent boxing history.

“I think it’s going to be a tough fight early on, but I feel like Usyk will edge it again,” Joshua told Queensberry Promotions.

“He’s a class operator and one of the best out there. That’s why I think he’ll win.”

SEE MORE: David Price Predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: “I Always Thought It Would Be A Whitewash”…

Anthony Joshua and  Daniel Dubois

Usyk handed Fury his first professional loss when they first met in May, dominating the later rounds and nearly stopping Fury in the ninth on his way to a decision victory. With that win, Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, though he later had his IBF title stripped—a title now up for grabs in Joshua’s upcoming bout with Dubois.

Despite focusing on his immediate goals, Joshua remains determined to eventually face Fury in the ring.

“Yeah, it needs to happen,” Joshua said. “It’s just taken a long time. It needs to happen, but he’s got his hands full, and so have I. Let’s both do our jobs, and we’ll see a positive 2025, I’m sure of it.”

Joshua hinted that a showdown with Fury could take place in collaboration with Riyadh Season, potentially in London.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksander Usyk

The undisputed heavyweight champion has eyes on Anthony Joshua.

There wasn’t ever really much of a doubt when it came to who Oleksandr Usyk would fight after defeating Tyson Fury in May. After capturing the undisputed heavyweight titles, Fury instantaneously activated his rematch clause, which nearly any boxer would have done.

JUST IN: Francis Ngannou Makes Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury Prediction After Losing to Both…

After some bumps in the road, all of the pieces fell into place in the heavyweight division. Usyk accepted the rematch, Daniel Dubois beat Filip Hrgovic for the IBF interim belt that Usyk had to relinquish, and Anthony Joshua waited in the wings to get a title shot. Joshua is set to face Dubois in September for that same belt, and the winner would move on to face either Usyk or Fury.

Usyk is “ready” for Anthony Joshua trilogy fight

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

Fury is adamant he will win and get revenge, but Usyk is brimming with confidence; so much so that he’s already thinking about fighting Joshua before anything even materializes. He gave an interview to Mail Sport Boxing on Friday.

SEE MORE: Oleksandr Usyk would welcome a potential trilogy fight with Anthony Joshua…

I don’t particularly want any rematches, but when we beat Tyson Fury for the second time and when Anthony Joshua beats Daniel Dubois, of course they will want to do a third fight. From my point of view I have no right to deny Anthony a third fight because he gave me two incredible fights. Anthony helped me become even more famous in the world.

Anthony Joshua and  Daniel Dubois

Usyk and Joshua have already fought twice before. The Ukrainian came out on top in both. The first was a unanimous decision and the second bout was a split decision that probably should have been unanimous as well.

Since that second loss to Usyk, Joshua has completely turned around his career. After a UD win over Jermaine Franklin, he rattled off three straight knockout victories, including a stunning one of Francis Ngannou in March. Joshua and Usyk are ready to run it back, but they have to handle business first.
