Joshua Vs Wilder:  After  Elbow Surgery Eddie Hearn Called Team Wilder About long-awaited Anthony Joshua fight

Eddie Hearn has made contact with Deontay Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel about a potential fight with the fit-again Anthony Joshua.
The London heavyweight, who recently underwent elbow surgery, is expected to return to the ring this autumn after taking a year out and this week insisted he is capable of “taking the division by storm.”
Across the pond, another former world heavyweight champion ended his own boxing exile by stopping Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round of their fight in Wichita, Kansas. It was Wilder’s first outing for 12 months and, while not vintage Bronze Bomber, the victory was enough for him to blow off some cobwebs.
And no sooner are Joshua and Wilder back in the picture than discussions begun about finally putting them together in a fight.

There was a time when they were undefeated heavyweight world champions and it remains one of the biggest travesties of their generation that nobody managed to arrange a unification between them.

They are now deep into their 30s and approaching the end of their careers, but AJ’s long-term promoter Hearn still believes there is an appetite for Joshua-Wilder.
“I think it’s always going to be a big fight because it’s exciting, enticing and dangerous,” Hearn told The Ring.
Joshua, 35, a two-time heavyweight champion, is 28-4 (25 KOs) and ranked No.5 by The Ring while Wilder, 39, the former WBC king, is 44-4-1 (43 KOs) and is no longer in the top 10.
Hearn had suggested that another of his heavyweights, Dave Allen, could be an option for Wilder, too, but also brought up the possibility of him fighting Joshua during a conversation with Finkel.
Anthony joshuaHe said: “I spoke to Shelly Finkel because we were talking about a potential fight with Dave Allen. But we will see what’s next.
“Wilder seems to have a little plan of wanting to stay quite active and I think that’s a good thing for him and maybe that’s a fight that can materialise.”

Former World Heavyweight Champion Fury Hints Usyk Ahead Trilogy Bout will Be At Wembley in April

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has hinted he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in a trilogy bout at Wembley Stadium in April 2026.

Fury, 36, retired from boxing in January after losing a title fight rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision the previous month.

“April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!”, Fury posted on social media on Thursday.

Fury’s co-promoters Queensberry told BBC Sport it is in discussions with Team Fury and Riyadh Season, the annual cultural and sporting event in the capital of Saudi Arabia.

On Wednesday, Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh also claimed Fury would come out of retirement next year.

“The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back,” Alalshikh said in a post on X.

“I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt.”

Fury often referred to Usyk as a “rabbit” in the build-up to their title fights, both of which were held in Riyadh.

The Ukrainian won their first encounter in May 2024 by split decision to become the heavyweight division’s first undisputed four-belt champion.

The trilogy bout may depend on the outcome of Usyk’s meeting with Daniel Dubois next month. Usyk will become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion should he defeat the Briton at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 19 July.

After Comeback Victory Deontay Wilder Looking Forward To  Jarrell Miller Showdown 

Deontay Wilder remembers the days when heavyweights were scared to say his name. But even when he was at the top of his game and sending skulls into arena crowds, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller always wanted a piece of him.
Most of the noise came when Wilder was the WBC heavyweight champion. Since February 2020, however, Wilder has been beltless. Still, that hasn’t stopped Miller from calling him out.
That all continued following Wilder’s recent knockout win over Tyrrell Herndon. It was a win that the former champ needed, but nothing that impressed Miller
For the most part, Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) believes he has bigger fish to fry. The win over Herndon stopped a two-fight losing streak. Now, he’s hoping to get his hands on guys like Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, or, of course, Anthony Joshua.
From a pride standpoint, Wilder is open to fighting Miller. If, and when it does happen, he just hopes that the trash-talking New Yorker took care of some personal financial business ahead of time.
If that fight do land for him, I hope he already paid for his grave burial,” Wilder told TMZ Sports.
Deontay wilderWilder might be his preferred choice, but all signs point to Miller landing someone else. As first reported by The Ring, Miller could be thrown in with Jared Anderson, who, ironically enough, also shares the same nickname as Miller.
Talks for a Wilder fight will only take place if Miller picks up a win himself. The boisterous, brash contender hasn’t won a fight since early 2023, losing to Dubois at the end of that year before before settling for a majority decision draw against Andy Ruiz Jr in August 2024.
Whether Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) wins his possible match against Anderson or not, Wilder has heard enough of him. But the only way to shut him up is to get in the ring with him, something Wilder hopes will happen.
“I can’t wait.”

“He’s Better Than Me” Terence Crawford Says It’s Clear Who

“He’s Better Than Me” Terence Crawford Says It’s Clear Who The Best Fighter In The World

Terence Crawford has revealed who he thinks is the best active fighter on the planet. The unbeaten 37-year-old switch hitter from Omaha, Nebraska is already 41-fights into an exceptional professional career which began way back in 2008

Since making his debut, ‘Bud’ Crawford has won world titles in four weight classes, defeating the likes of Israil Madrimov, Shawn Porter and Errol Spence Jr amongst many others.

He wrote his name into boxing history when he defeated Spence two years ago, stopping his countryman in the ninth round of their monumental showdown to become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the ‘four belt era’.

The 37-year-old has also achieved undisputed status at super-lightweight, accomplishing this feat back in 2017 when he stopped former unified champion Julius Indongo in the third round of their bout in Nebraska.

In an interview with The Ring Magazine, Crawford had his say on who he believes makes up the pound-for-pound top three, ranking Ukrainian heavyweight icon Oleksandr Usyk ahead of himself.

Terence Crawford

“[I’m] the Ring number three? How y’all rating me number three? Who rating me at number three? I gotta go talk to them. [Oleksandr] Usyk number one, he better be number one. Over Usyk? I’m not over Usyk, but I’m over Inoue.”

Usyk has achieved incredible things since making entering the paid ranks back in 2013, becoming the undisputed champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.

‘Bud’ Crawford could surpass the record currently held jointly by himself, Usyk and Naoya Inoue, as he bids to become the first male fighter in boxing history to win an undisputed championship in three divisions.

The 37-year-old is just two months away from challenging Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed crown at 168lbs, in what has been recognised by many as being the ‘biggest fight in boxing’.

Gervonta Davis Accused Of Planning Retirement Just To Avoid

Gervonta Davis Accused Of Planning Retirement Just To Avoid Number 1 Contender KO’ing Him

Gervonta Davis has been accused of avoiding a showdown with an unbeaten lightweight contender. The 30-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland is over 30 fights into his professional career, remaining unbeaten since he made his debut back in 2013.

Davis has already won world titles across three weight classes and currently reigns as the WBA world lightweight champion, having made a handful of successful defences during his reign.

His most recent outing came against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1, fighting to a majority decision draw against his countryman after a controversial showdown at the Barclays Center in New York City.

As he prepares for his highly anticipated rematch with Roach, which is due to take place on August 16, Davis has been accused of avoiding a bout against unbeaten lightweight contender Floyd Schofield.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Schofield’s father and coach Floyd Sr claimed that he believes his son would stop ‘Tank’ should they fight, but that the 30-year-old will retire before facing the unbeaten contender.

Gervonta davis

“Floyd will stop Tank, that’s why they won’t choose us. that’s why they’re retiring. Floyd will stop Tank, we already know it, we watched Tank get stopped plenty of times in camp. He’s not new, he’s not invincible.”

Schofield returned to the ring last Saturday night as he stopped former IBF world super-featherweight champion Tevin Farmer in the opening round of their bout at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The 22-year-old from New Jersey had been scheduled to challenge WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson earlier this year, but was forced to pull out of the fight with illness just days before.

Despite the enthusiasm, Tyson Fury destroys Anthony Joshua’s dream of having a perfect fight and even calls him an old boxer

Anthony Joshua : The “Gypsy King” rules out a fight with Anthony Joshua and dismisses him harshly, saying he is no longer a challenge

For years, boxing fans have eagerly awaited a showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. After Fury‘s retirement announcement in January, many thought the long-awaited fight would never happen

However, a recent exclusive from GB News has reignited hope: the two fighters have reportedly reached an agreement to step into the ring.

According to a close source quoted by the British media, “the fight between Fury and Joshua is a matter of when, not if it will happen”. The same informant claimed that Fury has decided to come out of retirement to face Joshua, and that he has therefore stepped up his physical preparation in recent months. The official announcement is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Fury vs. Joshua: Historic night at Wembley or just smoke and mirrors?

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has become the epicenter of major boxing events, driven by the influence of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. However, the eagerly awaited fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is reportedly being negotiated to take place at the iconic Wembley Stadium. According to sources close to the negotiations, both fighters are said to have insisted on fighting on British soil, which would make the evening a milestone for UKboxing.

Despite the enthusiasm, uncertainty persists. The reason? Just a few days ago, Tyson Fury publicly ruled out the possibility of facing Joshua, saying: “I’m retired, and he’s in the twilight of his career”. Although he claims to be happy with his retirement, Fury has hinted that only one opponent could bring him back to the ring… and no, it’s not Anthony Joshua.

Fury only thinks about Usyk: “That’s the fight I want”

In an interview with Boxing Scene, Tyson Fury was clear about his conditions for returning to the ring: he would only do so to face Oleksandr Usyk, and on British soil. “If I come back, it will be for Usyk, in England. That’s the fight I want right now,” said the former WBC world champion.

Fury, who still maintains he won his second fight against the Ukrainian last December, did not hide his frustration with the judges’ decision. “My last fight was a clear win for the ‘Gypsy King’. Anyone in boxing knows that. It was complete rubbish,” said the visibly upset Briton.

It is clear that Fury’s position for a fight with Anthony Joshua is negative, as he considers that his best option now is the rematch against Usyk, where he wants a clean fight and where he is not harmed by the judges. However, the news surrounding Usyk facing Daniel Dubois on July 19 leaves the door open to perhaps see the return of the ‘Gypsy King’ to the ring to seek the true end of his career against Joshua.

I’m Intrested In Money, No Much Talks Next Is the Ring” I ‘m Available to fight Anthony Joshua – Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua: A press conference was held at the Rixos Tersane Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, by the International Boxing Association (IBA), in which the immediate objectives of this organisation were set out. The IBA, which for years ran Olympic boxing, has been relegated by World Boxing, after being tasked by the International Olympic Committee

The International Boxing Association, led by Uman Kremlev, wants to remain even more closely linked to pugilism, organising not only elite amateur boxing championships, but also in other categories such as Youth, Junior, Schoolboys, etc.

The event was attended by prominent professional boxers, such as the four-weight world champion Terence Crawford, former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, the legendary Roy Jones, as well as other important fighters such as WBA champion Rolando Romero, Conor Benn, Ben Whitaker, Derek Chisora, Shannon Briggs and many more.

Tyson Fury has made it clear that he is not retiring, that he will return if he is made a good offer.“Show me the money,” he told the IBA president. He would be willing to return as soon as possible, even after the summer against Anthony Joshua, for a title of that organization. He was seen training in Istanbul and looks in good shape. “I always come back,” so he could be in the ring much sooner than expected.

Meanwhile, Terence Crawford, who on September 13 will try to snatch the four super middleweight crowns from Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, did not want to make explicit statements: “We will see everything in the ring,” he said.

In the amateur field, IBA will continue to organize world and regional championships, such as European or Asian championships, in parallel with those supervised by World Boxing, but with the difference of the large financial prizes promised by IBA, which will surely double the competitions for the best amateur boxers

The aim of IBA is to create spectacular galas that surpass those that can be organized by any other entity. In this type of event, both amateur and professional boxers who have not fought a certain number of fights in this field may participate. At the end of the year, the world championships will be held in the United Arab Emirates, with some 30 top-level fighters per weight category.

The IBA is also breaking into bare-knuckle boxing with major changes in the direction of this discipline, new rules and better protection for the fighters. They are also creating IBA Boxing Gyms, high-end sports complexes, in various locations around the world, as well as interesting games such as the IBA Boxing Game, or an elegant line of sportswear.

As for professional boxing, IBA is going to develop IBA Pro, trying to collaborate with the four world organizations, WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO, but it has not been very clear the direction they will take firmly in the professional field, without ruling out that they end up acting as a professional organization. They are coming in with a lot of economic strength and the ultimate goal could be very ambitious.

Over Jake Paul Anthony Joshua Humbled by Tyson Fury’s Blunt One-Line Jake Paul Remark

Anthony Joshua: “I am retired, and he is at the end of his career.” That’s what Tyson Fury said yesterday when asked if he would consider making his comeback against Anthony Joshua. And just like that, he not only narrowed the options for AJ’s next opponent but also crushed the long-standing hopes of fans desperate to see Britain’s two biggest heavyweights collide. Though last month, GB News reported that both fighters had agreed to face off, with Fury supposedly reversing his retirement, his latest comments seem to slam the door shut. For fans, it looks like the final nail in the coffin for a once-dreamt-of mega-fight.

Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, hasn’t stepped into the ring since suffering a brutal knockout loss to fellow Brit Daniel Dubois last September. While an immediate rematch was initially expected, minor injuries forced AJ to take a break. Now 35, the former two-time heavyweight champion is eyeing a return by the end of the year. But in a surprising twist, recent buzz has centered around a potential bout between Joshua and Jake Paul.

The pair reportedly had a phone call and verbally agreed to fight in 2026. If that matchup does materialize, Tyson Fury has already weighed in, with a cheeky prediction on how things would play out. A new update emerged just hours ago when The Mac Life shared an Instagram post captioned, “Tyson Fury gives his verdict on a hypothetical Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul match up

So, what did he say? When asked for his take at the IBA Pro 7 event in Istanbul, Fury gave a typically cheeky response: “I think it is a good fight. It is a real 50/50 fight,” poking fun at Joshua’s credibility, despite the Brit’s far superior resume to the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Anthony joshua

Still, Fury made a point to show some respect. “Although AJ has been a rival of mine for ten years, he has been a fantastic advocate for British boxing and has played the game well,” he said. But he didn’t stop there. “I wouldn’t say I hold all the power over him but if he’s only sitting there and waiting for me to come, he could be waiting a long time. He might be f—ing 60 by the time I decide I want him – or it might be next week.”

Although Tyson Fury seems firm about staying retired, he has hinted at one scenario that could change his mind. “If I was going to come back, I’d come back for Usyk. In England.” Tyson Fury still feels he was robbed in their last fight against Oleksandr Usyk, and the fact that both of his career losses came against the Ukrainian continues to sting. While a clash with Anthony Joshua seems off the table for now, under the right circumstances, even Tyson Fury admits things could change.

Despite Joshua responded positively Tyson Fury Delivers Surprising Verdict On Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul Fight

A fight between two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul is a serious possibility. Tyson Fury has weighed in on how it might play out.

Paul has always been ambitious in his call outs. Since beating a 58-year-old faded Mike Tyson last year, he set his sights on Joshua, calling the Olympic Gold Medalist stiff, without skill and lacking a chin.

Despite Joshua responded positively to the tentative offer, most fans would rather him face Fury in a long-awaited, all-British heavyweight scrap. With ‘The Gypsy King’ adamant he is retired, that does not look to be happening anytime soon.

Speaking in a media scrum after confirming that he will not be fighting again, a straight-faced Fury backed the match-up and called it a pick ’em.

“I think it’s a good fight. I think it’s a real, 50/50 fight.”

Joshua himself has expressed his interest in the fight, backed by promoter Eddie Hearn, and Paul remains convinced it will happen in 2026.

The most likely course of action for the Brit is two or three more traditional contests, provided he scores victories, before entertaining the big-money sideshow fight when he has one foot out the door of the sport.

‘AJ’ is expected to return before the end of the year, with the latest update on his recovery from elbow surgery being that he could fit in a full training camp and be ready for November.

As for Paul, his campaign has been bolstered this week by the WBA officially ranking him at number 14 in its cruiserweight rankings. The development means champion Gilberto Ramirez – who also holds the WBO belt – could opt to make a voluntary defence against the American.

No Excuse ‘They’re running scared!’ Anthony Joshua – Dillian Whyte picked Moses Itauma despite Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker offers

Dillian Whyte has revealed that he was offered rematches with Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker but embraced the ‘risk’ of a Moses Itauma fight.

The former WBC interim champion has agreed to face red-hot heavyweight prospect Itauma in Saudi Arabia on August 16.

But Whyte has admitted that he also discussed potential fights against long-term British rival Joshua and New Zealander Parker.

“You know what, I got offered three names, AJ, Parker and Moses Itauma,” Whyte exclusively told Sky Sports.

“These guys were messing about, Parker was being greedy, they didn’t want to be realistic on the split. AJ wasn’t ready, obviously they’re trying to keep their options open, I’m options for no one.

Anthony joshua

“I think Moses Itauma, no one wants to fight him. My whole career has been, I’ve always taken the fights that no one wanted to take and nothing’s changed now. It’s an opportunity, it’s a great opportunity. Win this fight, I’m right back like I never left.

“Everyone’s scared of him, all these other supposed hard man heavyweights who pride themselves on being hard fighting anyone, they’re running scared from fighting this guy.

We’re in the business to fight, we’re in the business to entertain, we’re in the business to give the fans a good fight.”

Joshua, who has not fought since a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September, has required surgery on a troublesome elbow.

Parker, whose promoters offered no comment in response to Whyte’s claims when contacted by Sky Sports News, is yet to announce his next fight after a stoppage win over Martin Bakole in February.

Anthony joshua

“I would have loved to fight AJ again because he’s the only one in that list that beat me before,” said Whyte.

“I’ve beaten him once [in the amateur ranks], he’s beaten me once, I’d love to fight him again. But AJ, his injuries and his surgery and stuff, they didn’t know if he was going to be ready.

“He wasn’t going to be ready, so I was like: ‘Okay, I’m not going to wait around.’

“The Joseph Parker fight, it’s Parker being greedy. When I fought him years ago, he was kind of on a losing streak.

RELATED : It would tempt a ‘lot of people to watch’ Anthony Joshua

“I gave him a certain split, I was fair and I was just. And then he’s being greedy.

“And I was like: ‘Do you want to fight someone who’s actually beaten you or are you just in it for the money?’ And clearly, he’s just in it for the money.

Anthony joshua

‘So I said: ‘Okay, all right, no worries.

“Then with Moses, I was like: ‘Hell yeah, I’ll definitely take the fight.’

Asked if he could still face Joshua again in the future, Whyte said: “I don’t know and I don’t really care to be honest. I’m not 27, I haven’t got time to be sitting around waiting for these guys.

“I’ve always known to fight the best fighters in my era, and everyone’s raving about Moses Itauma, saying he’s the best fighter since Mike Tyson.
