Anthony Joshua: Despite Accusing Him of Sleeping With His Wife And Saying He’d ‘Lost A Good Friend’ – Amir Khan Later pictured In Good Spirits With Anthony Joshua

For now, Joshua has been making the most of his recovery period after jetting off on luxury trips to Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Oman.

He had flown out to Ghana to watch Khan’s first-ever show as a promoter and looked to be on good terms with the 38-year-old despite their past spat.

The meeting came almost a decade after Khan took to social media to post several explosive tweets alleging Faryal Makhdoom had cheated on him with Joshua.

Khan had also revealed he and his wife were getting a divorce.

‘So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best,’ Khan wrote in 2017. ‘Faryal moved on quick.

In response, Joshua rubbished the allegations by sharing a video of Shaggy’s hit ‘It Wasn’t Me’ and adding: ‘Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met!’

A few months later, Khan appeared to have patched up his feud with Joshua.

The boxing world erupted with divided opinions following Katie Taylor’s majority decision victory over Amanda Serrano in their long-anticipated trilogy bout. The historic clash, which took place in front of a roaring crowd, was every bit as dramatic and fiercely competitive as expected—but the decision has sparked heated debate among fans, analysts, and even fellow boxing champions.

Among the most vocal were elite fighters like Claressa Shields and Terence Crawford, who took to social media to express their thoughts on what many are calling one of the most controversial outcomes in recent women’s boxing history.

For the third time in their rivalry, Katie Taylor found a way to produce a points victory over Amanda Serrano.

After notching a split-decision win in their first fight back in April 2022 and a unanimous decision clouded in controversy in the November rematch, the Irish superstar defended her undisputed super lightweight world championship with a majority decision over her rival Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Terence Crawford

Taylor ending the trilogy and rivalry with a 3-0 sweep of Serrano set off waves of reaction with everyone from Claressa Shields to Terence Crawford and Eddie Hearn weighing in:

The official decision saw Katie Taylor winning by majority decision with two judges scoring it in her favor and one scoring it a draw. For Taylor, the win not only secured her status in the trilogy but also reaffirmed her place as one of the greatest female fighters in boxing history. Serrano, however, walked away with a performance that further cemented her legacy—regardless of the result.

Over Domestic Violence, Wilder’s fiancée “Telli Swift”Receives

Over Domestic Violence, Deontay Wilder’s fiancée “Telli Swift” Receives Temporary Restraining Order Over Domestic Violence Allegations, Per Reports

Telli Swift, the fiancée of Deontay Wilder, was granted a temporary restraining order against the former heavyweight champion boxer due to a litany of domestic violence allegations, according to TMZ and USA Today.

Swift reportedly applied for the TRO in Los Angeles last week and was granted it by a judge on Monday. The order requires Wilder to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift and their daughter and will remain in effect until June 25, when the two parties are scheduled to appear before a judge.

In the application, Swift — who has been in a relationship with Wilder since 2015 and got engaged to him in 2018 — reportedly accuses Wilder of choking her at least five times since 2018, once in front of their daughter and her son, and slamming her son’s head against a car.

She also reportedly claims Wilder took her laptop without her consent and sent disturbing messages to her contacts, used their home surveillance system to spy on her and threw her out of their Atlanta residence in April despite her having recently undergone invasive surgery. That’s in addition to allegedly ridiculing her constantly, threatening to destroy her belongings and expecting intercourse “three times a day.”

Swift was apparently frightened that Wilder could become violent when he returned home after his fight in Saudi Arabia last Saturday. Via TMZ:

“I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past,” she said.

She also believes his mental health has deteriorated alongside his career since his losses to Tyson Fury, via USA

At that point, he struggled to get fights that could advance his career and he was emotionally unstable,’’ Swift said in the request for a restraining order. “He would cry and yell often in our home.’’

Since losing to Joseph Parker in December, Swift said, “Deontay has been more emotionally abusive to me than anytime in the past. I have been suffering in silence despite Deontay becoming increasingly aggressive and controlling, because I did not want him to experience any further mental health struggles.’’

It’s worth noting that the process to obtain a temporary restraining order in California essentially consists of one party filing a statement about why they think the other is a threat and a judge granting it based on what the filer claims. The subject of the temporary restraining order, in this case Wilder, does not need to be present for the initial filing, only for the subsequent court date in which he may argue his case.

Recently, During An Interview, Jake Paul reveals conversations with Anthony Joshua as promoter confesses truth about fight

After defeating Mike Tyson in November 2024 and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June this year, the influencer turned professional boxer is starting to look towards his next big challenge

Although a possible title fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez is still in the works, another matchup that has caught the eye is a potential clash with former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Recently, during an interview, Jake Paul revealed details of his private exchange of messages with Anthony Joshua, where, according to Paul, the Briton confirmed his interest in fighting, but not immediately:

He just said he’s going to do two more fights, and then we do it in 2026. But he’s willing

Who will be Jake Paul’s next opponent?

Leo Atang

READ MORE : Jake Paul Calls out “A J” ,reveals the strong message Anthony

This is not the first time Paul has mentioned Joshua, as on his podcast last March, the YouTuber dared to say that he could defeat the former champion: “He has no jaw, no skills and is stiff”. Then, in April, he claimed that Joshua had responded: “I saw you challenged me. Let’s make it happen”.

Paul, 28, insists that fight will happen if the fight with Gilberto Ramirez does not materialize. The American currently ranks 14th in the WBA rankings at cruiserweight, although his inclusion has generated controversy within the organization.

When is Anthony Joshua’s next fight?

Despite Jake Paul’s claims, there is no official confirmation from Anthony Joshua’s camp about this fight. The Briton’s promoter, in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, was clear on the matter: “I think there’s a possibility of seeing Anthony Joshua this year… but it won’t be against Jake Paul.”

Leo Atang

He also suggested that Paul is taking advantage of Joshua‘s name for media purposes: “If I was Anthony Joshua and I was being offered to fight someone who a few years ago was a Disney star… he’s not anymore”.

Therefore, at least for now, the possible fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua seems to be more in the realm of speculation than reality.

Joshua is currently recovering from elbow surgery following his defeat to Daniel Dubois. His return to the ring is expected in late 2025, although an opponent has yet to be confirmed.

Joseph Parker: Former WBO Heavyweight Champion And Current Interim Champion Joseph Parker Aims To Seek Revenge For Anthony Joshua’s 2018 Defeat.

Former WBO heavyweight champion and current interim champion Joseph Parker revealed that he would prefer to avenge his defeat against Anthony Joshua in 2018.

Anthony Joshua, who recently announced that he willthat he return to the ring in December 2025, has not fought since his defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September 2024, where he sustained injuries.

The British boxer was planning to make a comeback in the summer, but his elbow injury delayed his plans. Now, following his successful elbow injury, his promoter Eddie Hearn has said that Joshua will return to the ring at the end of the year.

Speaking in an interview, when Parker was asked about the fight he would like most, he named Joshua, who beat him back in 2018.

“I would most like to avenge the AJ fight because back in 2018 I was a very different fighter to the fighter I am now, and AJ is a different fighter as well. He’s been the poster boy for boxing, and he’s brought a lot of attention to boxing, and I’d like to avenge that loss. I would love the opportunity to fight Joshua,” Parker said.

“I think he’s had some surgery, and he’s looking to come back again, so if that opportunity arises, I’ll take it with both hands, and it’ll be a great fight. If he’s still motivated and passionate about boxing, he should keep going. If that’s what he wants to do. He’s still got a lot to give.”

Parker is currently the interim WBO strap holder and is aiming for a world title, and Joshua is looking for a comeback, so the fight may benefit both parties.

Andy Ruiz Jr Hints At Comeback With Lean Physique As The

Andy Ruiz Jr Hints At Comeback With Lean Physique As The Former Anthony Joshua Conqueror – Flaunts Stunning Body Transformation.

EX-HEAVYWEIGHT champion Andy Ruiz Jr looks like a new man as he continues his drastic body transformation.

Ruiz Jr shocked the world six years ago when he stopped Anthony Joshua in the seventh round of their Madison Square Garden melee to become the first Mexican-born heavyweight champion.

The then 19-stone ‘Destroyer’ was soft around the edges, to say the least, as he scored one of the biggest upsets in modern-day boxing history.

He ballooned to over 20 STONE for their rematch in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, which he lost via unanimous decision.

Ruiz Jr demanded an immediate trilogy fight, saying: “I don’t want to say the three months of partying or celebrating didn’t affect me.

“As to tell you the truth, it kind of did.

“There’s no excuses, the partying got the best of me. The next fight is going to be a lot different.

The former champion has slowly but surely been chipping away at his frame with intense training and strict dieting.

And he’s now sporting an almost unrecognisable physique from the one he first fought Joshua in.

On Wednesday, the 35-year-old posted a mirror selfie of his much trimmer frame, which struggled to keep his shorts up.

His accompanying caption read: “The diet is hard. Slowly but surely. [A] work in progress.”

Joe Rogan Leaks The Biggest Insane Pay Ever For

 Joe Rogan Leaks The Biggest Insane Pay Ever For Oleksandr Usyk & Daniel Dubois Will Make For Boxing Rematch

UFC commentator and world-renowned podcaster, Joe Rogan, has leaked the extraordinary wad of cash Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set to receive for their upcoming heavyweight boxing fight.

Usyk and Dubois fought once before, with the Brit famously dropping the unbeaten two-weight champion with a body shot that the referee adjudged to have been too low of a blow to count as a knockdown, before Usyk, who had a timeout to recover, rallied and won via ninth-round stoppage in 2023

Since then, Usyk has won back-to-back bouts against Tyson Fury, while Dubois enjoyed an incredible resurgence thanks to briliant wins over Filip Hrgovic, Jarrell Miller, and Anthony Joshua.

Their rematch takes place on the 19th of July at Wembley Stadium in London and both fighters will bring their respective world titles to the ring in an undisputed championship fight. While the pay was always expected to be high, Rogan’s comments underline just how handsomely the elite in boxing get rewarded for their talents.

Rogan leaked the pay during a conversation with UFC stars Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.

“Bro, did you see the numbers that Usyk and Dubois are getting?” Rogan said.

READ MORE :Expect More “KO” As Anthony Joshua Conqueror Teases

He then revealed that Usyk stands to pocket $132 million, while Dubois will take $71 million to the bank, with both payments totaling $199 million — $1 million shy of previously-reported figures suggesting both fighters, combined, were always expected to make $200 million. It’s unclear, exactly, where Rogan has seen the breakdown.

Anthony joshua

“$132 million! $132 million and $71 million!”

“Yeah, look at the numbers. $132 million and $71 million. Yo! Yo, that’s crazy! Numbers for purses.”

The figures, if accurate, dwarf the pay that UFC fighters receive as champions as they rarely make eight figures, let alone nine. However, for boxing’s biggest bouts, we’ve seen time and again that there are boxers who command insane purses.

GIVE ME SPORT understands, for example, that Top Rank fighter Tyson Fury made more than $200 million for two Riyadh Season fights.

Floyd Mayweather made more than $200 million on two separate occasions in his career — against Manny Pacquiao, and Conor McGregor.

British Boxing Standout  Sunny Edwards Picks Out Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis As His Other Favourite Current Boxer

British boxing standout Sunny Edwards has revealed his admiration for one of the sport’s most electrifying talents — Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. Known for his slick footwork, defensive genius, and outspoken personality, Edwards has never been shy about sharing his opinions. But when it comes to Davis, the usually brash Brit shows nothing but respect.

In a recent interview, Edwards named the undefeated American knockout artist as one of his favorite current fighters. “I love watching Tank fight,” Edwards said. “He’s one of the most explosive fighters in the game right now. He carries real power, but he’s also smart. People don’t give him enough credit for how intelligent he is in the ring.”

Gervonta Davis, who boasts an impressive undefeated record with the majority of his wins coming by way of knockout, has quickly established himself as a superstar in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions. His highlight-reel knockouts and ability to pull massive crowds have made him one of boxing’s must-see attractions — and clearly, Edwards is paying close attention.

While the two operate in different weight classes, Edwards competing at flyweight and Davis at lightweight/super lightweight, the mutual respect underscores Davis’s cross-divisional appeal. “There are not many fighters I really sit down and look forward to watching live — Tank is one of them,” Edwards added.

Gervonta davis

What makes Davis stand out to many, including Edwards, is his combination of power and precision. He doesn’t just throw bombs — he sets traps, calculates angles, and closes distance with frightening speed. Fighters like Davis are a rare breed, and it’s clear he’s earned the admiration of his peers as much as his fans.

Edwards, who has been eyeing big fights of his own following his move up in weight, often emphasizes boxing IQ and technical prowess — attributes that Tank also quietly excels in behind the knockouts. “He’s not just brawn, he’s brains too,” Edwards said.

As both fighters continue their respective journeys, fans can appreciate the mutual recognition between two of boxing’s sharpest minds and fiercest talents. And while a matchup between the two is unlikely given the weight disparity, Edwards’ endorsement of Davis adds even more shine to the already glowing reputation of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

In a sport often divided by rivalries and heated debates, it’s refreshing to see top fighters show genuine appreciation for each other’s craft.

I Don’t Doubt Him: Leon Edwards Gives Winning Prediction On Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez

Leon Edwards is a huge boxing fan, and he is already looking forward to the undisputed super middleweight mega-fight, Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez.

Edwards has not fought since a submission loss to Sean Brady on the last UFC London card in March this year.

Crawford and Canelo are set to clash on September 13th in the first-ever TKO-promoted boxing event

Already, legends from across the boxing world have had their say, with many, including Shannon Briggs, predicting a late stoppage for the Omaha fighter.

Leon Edwards ‘won’t doubt’ Terence Crawford as he edges him to win Canelo Alvarez clash

The former UFC welterweight champion picked out ‘Bud’ as one of his favourite current fighters to watch, similar to Oleksandr Usyk, who ranks Crawford as his number one fighter.

And ‘Rocky’ has edged towards the American pound-for-pound star for this bout.

Speaking to Carl Froch, he said: “Crawford, he is the better boxer, but I feel like the size and the power and the natural weight (Canelo), I don’t know.

“From what he did to Spence I stopped doubting him… I feel like this fight I can’t go against him.”

The 33-year-old knows what a memorable performance is like after his crowning KO win against Kamaru Usman.

He will be hoping to see another masterclass from the modern great but understands the task that is in his way.

Edwards said: “He is the better boxer skill for skill, but Canelo is just Canelo, he is a powerhouse.”

Expect More “KO” As Anthony Joshua Conqueror Teases Comeback With Epic Body Transformation

Andy Ruiz Jr has slimmed down significantly in preparation for a return to the ring.

The Mexican-American puncher hasn’t boxed since last August when he was held to a disputed majority draw by Jarrell Miller in Los Angeles.

During the bout, Ruiz Jr sustained a fractured hand, which has kept him on the sidelines for the last 11 months.

However, he is now training and dieting again.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Ruiz Jr posted a picture of some food prep, with the caption: “Gotta start now and only eat protein for 3 weeks.

“Getting ready before fight camp.

‘The Destroyer’ then followed up his post with a shirtless snap, devoid of his famous gut.

“Slow but surely,” he wrote underneath. “Work in progress…”

Ruiz Jr usually operates between 255lbs and 265lbs, but for his last bout with Miller, he came in at 274lbs – his second heaviest weight to date.

The 35-year-old looked sluggish and was fortunate to scrape a draw.

Yet judging from recent pictures, he looks to be boiling down to his ideal fight weight as he starts the arduous climb back to the top.

Ruiz Jr tipped the scales at 268lbs when he stunned the boxing world by snatching the unified WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles from Anthony Joshua in June 2019.

The heavy underdog stepped in on five weeks’ notice to replace Miller after the American failed a trio of drug tests and dropped AJ three times en route to a shocking seventh-round knockout win.

A rematch was then booked for December, and while Joshua took himself away from all of the external distractions and left no stone unturned in training, Ruiz Jr’s camp was less than ideal.

Ruiz Jr admits he spent three months partying and celebrating his career-best win, leading to 15lbs of weight gain.

The stocky boxer came in at a whopping 283.5lbs for their sequel and laboured to a wide unanimous decision loss.

“There’s no excuses. The partying got the best of me. The next fight is going to be a lot different.”

Ruiz Jr never got his trilogy bout with Joshua, despite his best efforts, while his career has stagnated since their second meeting.
