Canelo Level Low Terence Crawford After He Names ‘Elite’ Fighters He’s Faced: “Who?”

Terence Crawford: The build-up to Canelo Alvarez‘s monumental showdown with Terence Crawford is well under way, It was confirmed earlier this month that the pound-for-pound stars will do battle on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canelo is set to make the first defence of his undisputed super-middleweight championship against ‘Bud’, just a few months on from achieving this feat for the second time in his career after he dethroned for IBF champion William Scull on May 2.

The modern greats are over halfway through a global press tour, which began in Riyadh last week and was followed by a press conference in New York City on Sunday, which ended with Canelo shoving Crawford during what was an intense face-off.

“He Beat Him” Terence Crawford Mocks Canelo Should Have Another Defeat On His Record

Terence Crawford is gearing up for the toughest test of his professional career. The 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska will do battle with Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Having spent his recent years campaigning at welterweight before having one fight a super-welterweight, Crawford will make the jump up to super-middleweight ahead of his showdown with Canelo, as he bids to become the undisputed champion at 168lbs.

Should he be victorious in September, ‘Bud’ will write his name into the boxing history books by becoming the first male fighter to win an undisputed championship in three divisions, having already accomplished this feat at super-lightweight and welterweight. He would also be just the third man to beat Alvarez in 68 fights after Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol.

However, speaking on The G.O.A.T.S Podcast, Crawford revealed he is convinced that the Mexican star should have suffered at least one more.

Eddie Hearn gives brutal assessment of ’50-50′ Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul fight

Anthony Joshua: Jake Paul made a number of notable callouts following his win last Saturday over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Not only is Paul trying to disrupt a cruiserweight title unification bout between Jai Opetaia and Gilberto Ramirez, but he also called out Gervonta Davis and Anthony Joshua.

Regarding the heavyweight Joshua, Tyson Fury has said that a fight between Paul and the British star would be a ’50-50′ fight.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was asked for his opinions on this take, to which he did not hold back.

Eddie Hearn does not see Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul as a close fight

In a recent interview with Pro Boxing Fans, the promoter was asked about Fury’s recent assessment of Paul vs Joshua. Hearn started by saying, “It’s great if it is [a 50-50 fight]. I mean, if it is, then you’ve got no problem seeing it.”

However, Hearn’s comments were seemingly said in regard to anticipation and marketing purposes.

When speaking on how the fight itself would play out, he said, “When AJ, I mean, decapitates is a strong word, when he renders Jake Paul unconscious, like he did to Francis Ngannou, don’t then say, ‘Oh, well, it was Jake Paul.’ Do you know what I mean?”

Hearn then said, “When AJ beat Francis Ngannou, Ngannou had just had a fight that could have gone either way with Tyson Fury. Then, AJ poleaxed him and then he’s just an MMA fighter.”

“Jake Paul is not Francis Ngannou,” Hearn added. “If you want to see Jake Paul exit the boxing world, make the fight.”

Anthony Joshua’s next opponent still not confirmed despite rumoured 2025 comeback

It is understood that Joshua is expected to return to the ring in 2025. A fight this year would be Joshua’s first outing since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois.

Fury’s announcement that he has come out of retirement has not made Joshua’s situation any clearer despite a fight between the two being highly anticipated.

The ‘Gypsy King’ has stated he wants his comeback fight to be with Oleksandr Usyk, and in 2026.

In terms of an opponent for Joshua this year, a likely opponent is currently unclear. However, following Deontay Wilder’s recent win, many feel that ‘AJ’ should face ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

Eddie Hearn’s ‘next Anthony Joshua’ scores blistering first-round stoppage in pro debut

Leo Atang justified the hype in his professional debut. The 18-year-old from York has repeatedly been compared to Anthony Joshua throughout the build-up, and he lived up to that billing with an impressive first-round stoppage in his maiden bow

His opponent, Bulgarian journeyman Milen Paunov (7-16), proved no match for the teenage sensation, who blasted the veteran away in two minutes and 29 seconds.

Atang was on his adversary like a rash from the off and dropped Paunov early doors with a sickening body shot.

The travelling fighter made his way back to his feet, but not for long, as Atang continued to pour on the pressure to force the stoppage against the ropes.

Atang’s debut won’t have proved much about his ability, given the level of opposition he was up against.

However, it did show that he can hold his nerve under pressure.

Hearn has branded Atang ‘the next Anthony Joshua’, while the Matchroom promotional machine has been put into overdrive for the youngster.

On Tuesday, at a Matchroom rebranding event in London, he joined Joshua and Frank Bruno on stage for a Q&A session where he was introduced as ‘the future of the heavyweight division’.

Atang admitted that there were nerves heading into his first pro fight, but you wouldn’t have known by watching his mature display.

“From meeting AJ on Tuesday to all the build-up, there has been a lot of pressure, but I have embraced it all,” said Atang.

Anthony Joshua Vows to Take the Heavyweight Division by Storm: “Every Fight Going Forward Is a Big Fight”

Anthony Joshua, the two-time unified heavyweight world champion, has once again set his sights on reclaiming the throne of the boxing world. In a powerful and confident statement, Joshua declared his intention to dominate the heavyweight division upon his return to the ring, emphasizing that “every fight going forward is a big fight.” His bold declaration has reignited excitement among boxing fans and sent a strong message to his rivals—Anthony Joshua is far from done.

A New Era in Joshua’s Career

Having tasted both the highest peaks and the deepest valleys of boxing, Joshua is entering a new phase of his career—one defined not just by physical strength, but by experience, maturity, and strategic intent. After a rollercoaster few years that included losses to Oleksandr Usyk and a string of postponed mega-fights, including the long-anticipated bout with Tyson Fury, Joshua seems to have recalibrated his mindset and approach.

Rebuilding With Purpose

Since his second loss to Usyk in 2022, Joshua has focused on rebuilding under new guidance, taking his training seriously and staying active. Wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius showed flashes of his former dominance, but critics questioned whether “AJ” could return to the frightening force who once unified the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles.

His most recent win—a commanding knockout of Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia—reminded the world that Joshua still packs thunder in both fists. It wasn’t just the power that impressed; it was the composure, the timing, and the ruthless finishing instinct that made a statement. Ngannou, who had gone the distance with Tyson Fury in his boxing debut, didn’t see the final bell against Joshua. That emphatic victory re-established him as a top contender and reaffirmed his place among the division’s elite.

Big Fights Only: What’s Next?

With the heavyweight landscape still unsettled, and stars like Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and Deontay Wilder all in the mix, Joshua’s proclamation that “every fight going forward is a big fight” rings with both ambition and realism. He is no longer interested in tune-ups or staying busy—he wants defining battles that solidify his place in history.

A potential rematch with Wilder is still a strong possibility, despite the American’s shocking defeat to Zhilei Zhang. Meanwhile, a fight with the winner of Usyk vs. Fury II—or even a showdown with rising stars like Jared Anderson or Filip Hrgović—could headline stadiums and shake up the division.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has echoed Joshua’s sentiment. “AJ wants the biggest fights. He’s already achieved so much, but the hunger is still there. The next phase of his career is about securing his legacy and taking on the best, fight after fight,” Hearn stated.

A Champion Reforged

Joshua’s journey is one of transformation. Once criticized for his polished image and perceived mental fragility, he now speaks with the calm intensity of a veteran who has faced adversity and emerged stronger. He has embraced the criticism, learned from his defeats, and sharpened his weapons.

“I’m not the same fighter I was five years ago,” Joshua told reporters. “But I’m better now—mentally, physically, and emotionally. The fire is back. And I know what it takes to win at the highest level.”

The Heavyweight Division’s New Chapter

With Anthony Joshua back in the spotlight and declaring war on the heavyweight elite, the division is poised for another golden chapter. The hunger for greatness is evident in his words, and the intent is visible in his actions. He understands the stakes. Every fight is a headline, every performance a statement.

Whether he reclaims a world title or not, one thing is clear: Joshua’s comeback is not just about belts—it’s about legacy. And in his own words, from this point forward, every fight is a big fight.

Boxing fans around the world should buckle up—because the storm that is Anthony Joshua is coming.

“Be ready. Your division Is next Gervonta Calls Out Undefeated

“Be ready. Your division Is next Gervonta Calls Out Undefeated World Champion and Sets Sights on New Division

Gervonta “Tank” Davis has once again shaken up the boxing world. Following a public statement that has gone viral across social media, the undefeated knockout artist has issued a clear challenge to another unbeaten world champion—signaling his intent to climb into a new weight class and cement his legacy across multiple divisions.

“Be ready. I’m coming to your division next. Let’s see who really run it,” Davis declared on Instagram Live, setting fans and analysts abuzz with speculation.

Who Is Tank Targeting?

While Davis didn’t name his target outright, multiple insiders suggest he’s calling out Shakur Stevenson, the WBC Lightweight Champion and fellow undefeated American standout. Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) has long been considered one of the most technically gifted fighters of his generation—making a clash between the two a potential mega-fight for boxing purists and mainstream audiences alike.

Why the Callout Matters Now

This bold move comes just as Davis is preparing for his August 16 rematch with Lamont Roach Jr., a bout he hopes will quiet critics following their disputed draw earlier this year. While most fighters would stay laser-focused on their next opponent, Davis is already looking ahead—sending a message to any champion daring enough to test him.

Boxing insiders view this as a power move: an attempt to assert dominance not just in one weight class, but over the entire lightweight and junior welterweight scenes.

“Davis isn’t waiting for fights to come to him anymore,” said Showtime analyst Paulie Malignaggi. “He’s calling his shots. And when Tank says ‘be ready,’ you better take it seriously.”

What Does This Mean for the Lightweight Division?

With Devin Haney recently moving up and vacating belts, and Vasiliy Lomachenko contemplating retirement, the lightweight division has become a battlefield in transition. Stevenson, Frank Martin, and William Zepeda are all vying for control. Now, with Davis hinting at either domination or departure, the power balance may shift once again.

What’s Next?

First, Davis must handle business against Roach in Las Vegas this August. Promoters are already eyeing a blockbuster year-end fight for Tank, potentially in December 2025, if he emerges unscathed.

“Tank has earned the right to go hunting,” said Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe. “He’s chasing greatness now.”

Rumors suggest preliminary talks are already underway between PBC and Top Rank to explore the possibility of a Davis vs. Stevenson super-fight in early 2026.

Final Thoughts

With his confident message—“Be ready”—Gervonta Davis is making more than just noise. He’s setting the stage for legacy-defining matchups, multi-division dominance, and a seismic shift in the boxing landscape. Whether it’s Shakur Stevenson, Subriel Matías, or another elite fighter in the crosshairs, one thing is certain: Tank is coming.

And the boxing world better be ready.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis Set for Explosive Rematch Against

Gervonta “Tank” Davis Set for Explosive Rematch Against Lamont Roach Jr. on August 16

Gervonta “Tank” Davis is officially set to return to the ring for one of the most anticipated rematches of 2025. The undefeated knockout artist will face Lamont Roach Jr. in a highly charged second bout on August 16, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, live on Amazon Prime Video Pay-Per-View. The rematch follows their controversial first encounter, and fans are expecting fireworks this time around.

What Happened in the First Fight?

The original bout between Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) and Roach (25-1-1, 15 KOs) took place on March 1, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. While Davis entered the ring as the heavy favorite, the fight didn’t go according to script.

RELATED : Gervonta Davis Accused Of Planning Retirement Just To Avoid

Roach surprised many by pushing Davis to the limit, landing crisp counters and maintaining composure under pressure. The contest ended in a majority draw, with scores of 114-114, 114-114, and 115-113 in favor of Roach.

The fight was not without controversy. Davis appeared to go down briefly in the ninth round, later attributing it to “slippery hair grease” rather than a punch. Roach’s team filed a protest, arguing their fighter had done enough to win. While the result stood, the demand for a rematch became overwhelming from fans and analysts alike.

This event marks Davis’s first rematch in recent memory and his return to Las Vegas—where he previously headlined major cards. For Roach, it is a golden opportunity to prove the first result was no fluke and to secure his first major world title.

What’s at Stake?

Both fighters are putting it all on the line. Davis, known for his explosive power and celebrity following, is looking to reaffirm his dominance. A second shaky performance—or worse, a loss—could tarnish his pristine record and jeopardize future megafights.

Roach, on the other hand, has everything to gain. A win over one of boxing’s biggest names would catapult him into stardom and open doors for title unification bouts or lucrative fights with top contenders like Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, or Devin Haney.

Davis’s Motivation

Following the controversial draw, Davis has been vocal about setting the record straight. His camp insists that the performance was an off night and that this rematch will end in definitive fashion.

“That wasn’t me in there. I’m coming to remind the world why I’m ‘Tank,’” Davis said during a media appearance. “No more playing. I’m knocking him out this time.”

Roach’s Response

Roach has embraced the role of underdog-turned-contender. Confident and composed, he believes Davis underestimated him the first time—and will make the same mistake again.

“They didn’t give me a chance before the first fight. Now they know what I bring,” Roach stated. “I’m walking out of Vegas with that belt.”

Much-Hyped Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder Seems Failed

Much-Hyped Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder Seems Failed; Bronze Bomber’s Upset Loss Changes Course of Heavyweight Boxing in 2024

One major upset last night changed the course of the entire heavyweight boxing division for 2024. In an unexpected twist of fate, Deontay Wilder lost the ‘Day of Reckoning’ fight at the hands of Joseph Parker. Going into the fight, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was a big crowd favorite, but Parker wasn’t letting up, winning the fight via unanimous decision.

Interestingly, Wilder was widely believed to be the second-best after Tyson Fury. However, Parker’s brilliant performance changed that last night as he established himself as the top brass in the heavyweight division. Yet, that’s not the only change the heavyweight division will see. So, it begs the question – what about Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder? What are the repercussions of Wilder’s loss?

The fate of Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder

Prior to last night’s fight, plans were set in motion for Wilder to face Anthony Joshua on 9 March next year. However, the only condition was that both fighters must win their fights tonight. While Joshua bagged the victory via a fifth-round TKO against Otto Wallin, Wilder barely made it to the final round in the lopsided affair. So, it seems like the Joshua vs. Wilder fight is unlikely to happen!

The fate of heavyweight boxing in 2024

Before the upset, a fight between Joshua and Wilder was in the making for decades. So, with Wilder’s loss and the future fight falling apart, ‘AJ’ needs to find his next big opponent. What’s more, by defeating Wallin, Joshua just became the No. 2 contender in the IBF heavyweight rankings. Currently, Oleksandr Usyk holds the IBF title.

The Ukrainian also holds the WBA and WBO titles and is vying for a fight against Tyson Fury to obtain his WBC title and unify the division. So, if Usyk defeats Fury in their fight scheduled for 14 February next year, Joshua could possibly face the Ukranian for all his titles. Or, if Fury ends up winning the fight, Joshua could pursue him.

Eddie Hearn: I’m just going to go and vomit

If Wilder would have won the fight tonight, the March 9 clash would have been guaranteed, giving fans what they have wanted for years. However, after Wilder’s loss, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, was really disappointed with Wilder’s performance. “I’m just going to go and vomit…I said in the buildup – I don’t rate him…Wilder had no idea, no clue. He lost 120-108, he lost every round,” said Hearn.

MORE NEWS : Despite the enthusiasm, Tyson Fury destroys Anthony Joshua’s

Hearn went on to suggest that the fight was a one-sided affair, adding Wilder ruined the plans for a future fight between Wilder and Joshua. “It was the most one-sided heavyweight fight. I’ve seen he had no power in the back end of the fight, and listen, it’s ruined our plans,” said Hearn. He later added, “The future is not Deontay Wilder.”

Despite being the crowd favorite, Deontay Wilder’s absence from the ring really showed in his last night’s fight. According to his statement, it could also have been the last time people saw him in the ring. The repercussions of the loss will force Joshua to look for a better opponent, which might lead to a title clash next year or beyond. Did you watch last night’s event? What did you think of Parker’s performance?
