Eddie Hearn: Jake Paul plots talks with Anthony Joshua’s team in New York with YouTube star ‘adamant’ he wants to fight heavyweight

Anthony Joshua: Jake Paul will use his week promoting Katie Taylor’s trilogy bout with Amanda Serrano to also hold talks over a fight with Anthony Joshua.

Serrano – promoted by Paul – takes on Irish icon Taylor on July 11 at Madison Square Garden following her two controversial losses.

Taylor is also represented by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing – Joshua’s long-time promoters.

So when Paul & Co stage the historic trilogy fight – talks with Hearn over a shock AJ bout will also be on the agenda.

Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian said: “Anthony Joshua, I think that’s the main one that we talked a lot about…

“He’s adamant that he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026 and we’re gonna meet with Matchroom while we’re in New York to promote the greatest trilogy in the history of boxing.”

Paul had his first heavyweight fight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer won over eight, revised two-minute rounds but admitted the TWO STONE jump from cruiserweight was gruelling.

Paul, 28, returned to the 14st 4lb stone limit of 200lb in victory over former middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39.

“But you know, look at Deontay Wilder, he was beating these guys weighing 215lb.

“Granted he’s like 6’6 or something but anything is possible and I like the challenge.

“People’s criticism is fight someone in their prime, who’s a beast. I think people just want to see me lose! That’s really what the message is behind it all.

“He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year.”

Paul’s victory California against Chavez – who won the 160lb title 14 years ago – looks set to land him a world ranking in the WBC and WBA.

“Like I said, this feels like chapter one’s done tonight. Now we’re moving into chapter two and I’m just getting warmed up in this sport.

“But people hold the Tommy Fury thing against me, but what now? I just beat a former world champion and I’m coming to avenge that loss as well with Tommy.”

No Doubt One Man ‘Could Be In A Lot Of Trouble’ In Canelo vs Terence Crawford Fight – Miguel Cotto Says

The highly anticipated clash between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is now just months away.

It was announced earlier in the month that the modern greats will do battle on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Terence Crawford is set to make the jump up to super-middleweight for the first time in his career as he bids to dethrone the Mexican superstar of his undisputed championship at 168lbs.

The 37-year-old from Omaha has spent his recent years campaigning at welterweight, where he won the undisputed championship and became the first fighter to accomplish this feat within the ‘four belt era’ when he defeated Errol Spence Jr in July 2023.

Canelo wrote his name into boxing history once again on May 2 when he defeated former IBF super-middleweight champion William Scull in Riyadh, becoming the first two-time undisputed super-middleweight champion.

In an interview with Seconds Out, retired Puerto Rican great and former opponent of Canelo, Miguel Cotto, shared his thoughts on his former rivals upcoming battle with Crawford.

“The set of skills that Crawford has can cause a lot of trouble for Canelo.”

Canelo outpointed Cotto in November of 2015 to capture the vacant WBC world middleweight title, although the Puerto Rican icon had entered the final years of his outstanding professional career.

The Mexican had previously lost to Floyd Mayweather and has been bested by Dmitry Bivol since, marking his only two losses in an incredible 67 fights. He has never been beaten in the super-middleweight class, but Crawford is adamant that will change this year.

“Trust Me I Know A Secret” I Have No Doubt Who Wins Canelo vs Terence Crawford – Tim Bradley

Terence Crawford: Two-weight world champion Tim Bradley has predicted the upcoming mega-fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

It was announced earlier this month that the modern greats will do battle on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canelo and Crawford faced-off for the first time in Riyadh on May 3, just moments after the Mexican superstar defeated former IBF super-middleweight champion William Scull to capture the undisputed championship at 168lbs for the second time. They have since met on a press tour, with the friendly atmosphere slowly being replaced by trash talk and competitive spirit.

It will be a test of the highest magnitude for ‘Bud’ Crawford, who will make the jump up in two weight classes from his last outing.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Bradley didn’t hesitate to back Crawford to get the job done against Canelo, revealing he knows a ‘secret’ that plays into the hands of the 37-year-old from Omaha. Unfortunately for fans, he was not forthcoming with the details.

Terence Crawford

“If Canelo couldn’t knock out [Jermell] Charlo, are you really thinking he’s gonna knock out Crawford? I would pick Terence Crawford to beat a Canelo Alvarez even at 168, everybody can call me crazy and whatever you wanna say, I get it, y’all didn’t believe me when I told you about [Errol] Spence but trust me, Crawford will figure out a way.

“I know a secret y’all don’t know and I ain’t gonna tell you why I would pick Terence Crawford but it’s part of the secret is the reason why I’m picking him to win the fight.”

Victory for Crawford would see the unbeaten American write his name into boxing history once again, as he will become the first fighter in the history of male boxing to win an undisputed championship in three divisions.

“Anthony Joshua is an insane fighter: But I want the challenge, Jake Paul Calls former champion Anthony Joshua to fight him next year

Anthony Joshua: Not long after the sweat had dried following Jake Paul’s victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., he disclosed he’s in talks to fight another former champion: Anthony Joshua, who held the unified heavyweight belts in 2016 and 2021.

“Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge,” Paul said at a post-fight news conference Saturday, June 28. “We’ve been DM’ing back and forth. He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year.”

In his last fight, Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) suffered a devastating fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois. But at 6-6, he would have a five-inch height advantage over Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) along with significantly more experience.

“I like the challenge,” Paul said. “That’s the criticism, people will say, ‘Fight someone in their prime who’s a beast.’ I think people just really want to see me lose. That’s really what the message is behind it all.”

Jake Paul lists other options for next fight

Even though Paul’s negotiations with Canelo Alvarez unraveled in February, he said a fight between the two still could materialize.

“No, he’s not out of the picture,” said Paul, who added that it could hinge on Paul winning a cruiserweight world title. That would lure Alvarez into the ring because it would give him a chance to become a five-weight champion, Paul speculated.

“I think that would be what interests him, and that’s the plan,” Paul said.

Anthony joshua

Other potential future opponents, Paul said, include WBC cruiserweight champion Badou Jack, WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis and Tommy Fury, the only boxer to beat Paul. Fury won that eight-round fight by unanimous decision in 2023.

“I don’t even think I was a fighter then,” Paul said. “That was like 2 1/2 years into the sport, and I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t have the proper team around me. I didn’t have conditioning. My lifestyle outside of the ring was still that of a YouTuber, celebrity, actor, whatever I was at that point in time.

“So I wasn’t fully focused on boxing. Like I said, chapter one is done tonight, and now we’re moving into chapter two. I’m just getting warmed up in the sport. People hold the Tommy Fury thing against me, but what now? I just beat a former world champion, and I’m coming to avenge that loss as well with Tommy.”

Tells Doubters Jake Paul Beats Julio César Chávez Jr. by Unanimous Decision in 10-Round Fight, Tells Doubters to ‘Shut the F— Up’ After Win

Jake Paul‘s anticipated return to the ring ended with a victorious win against Julio César Chávez Jr. after going 10 rounds.

The fight took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday night. With a record of 11 wins and one loss, including seven knockout victories, this boxing match marks Paul’s latest win following a seven-month hiatus from the sport. His most publicized fight was against Mike Tyson in November 2024, which ended with Paul handily defeating the 58-year-old boxing great. The event became one of the most-watched sporting events on Netflix, peaking at an estimated 65 million viewers globally.

Outside of Tyson, Chávez Jr. has held a strong record with 54 wins, one draw and six losses, including 34 knockouts. From 2011 to 2012, he held the WBC middleweight title until losing to Sergio Martinez that same year. Since then, he has faced highs and lows throughout his career, including a previous defeat in 2021 against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, whom Paul defeated in 2022.

His father, the former three-division world champion Julio César Chávez, expressed his high hopes for his son before he entered the ring with Paul.

“All fights are difficult. Jake Paul is young and strong, but he’s never faced a fighter like my son,” he said during a press conference in May. “I would’ve given Mike Tyson a better fight. He didn’t throw one punch the whole fight. This time is different.”

There were six other fights on the main card before Paul vs. Chávez Jr. The co-main event featured a battle between Gilberto Ramírez and Yuniel Dorticos, which ended in TK’s victory.

“He’s A Great Fighter” Gervonta Davis Reveals His Honest

“He’s A Great Fighter” Gervonta Davis Reveals His Honest Score For His Fight Against Lamont Roach: “He’s A Great Fighter”

Gervonta Davis is gearing up for his highly-anticipated rematch with Lamont Roach. The two men originally met back in March, in a controversial bout that saw ‘Tank’ retain his WBA lightweight title after a majority decision draw.

The judges scored the fight 115-113 Davis and 114-114 twice, but a lot of fans felt that Roach should have been given the verdict to be crowned as a new world champion at 135lbs.

One of the reasons why many fans feel that way was due to a moment in the ninth round when ‘Tank’ voluntarily took a knee, but no knockdown was scored by the referee, something that would have swung the scorecards in Roach’s favour if a 10-8 round had been scored.

Ahead of the bout with Roach, Davis had been linked to big fights against a number of other names, but the controversy from their first battle has now led to a rematch, which is set to take place in August in Las Vegas.

Speaking about the first fight, ‘Tank’ revealed to Fight Hub TV how he scored their initial contest.

“I didn’t get the decision I wanted but we didn’t get a loss. I thought I won it with the last couple of rounds.

Gervonta davis

It’s cool, Lamont is a great fighter.”

Davis will be hoping to secure the win in August to retain his WBA lightweight title, in a division which has been blown open in recent days after the retirement of one of the reigning world champions.

Vasiliy Lomachenko has hung up the gloves after an incredible career, meaning Raymond Muratalla is likely to be elevated from interim champion to full IBF champion in the near future, potentially paving a way for a future unification opportunity for Davis.

The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury ‘still very bitter and upset’ about Oleskandr Usyk fight, reveals WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman

Tyson Fury: WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has claimed Tyson Fury is still bitter about his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 36, lost his high-profile rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision last December – a defeat that saw him announce his retirement for the fifth time.

The Gypsy King has claimed he is happy hanging up his gloves and spending some much needed time with his family after years of battling in the ring.

But WBC president Sulaiman, who has been in regular contact with the Brit fighter, claims that Fury is still holding on to his second defeat to Usyk.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Sulaiman said: “I call him regularly and he said: ‘Oh I’m so happy, retired, I’m here with my wife.’

“He didn’t hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back.

“He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk.

” He’s still very bitter about the judges’ scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that’s what he said.”

All three judges scored the Riyadh bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favour, securing an impressive double for the Ukrainian.

Fury announced his retirement in January, but fans have been skeptical of whether or not the decision is final.

That’s because Fury has retired and returned to the sport FOUR TIMES before.

He added: “Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we’ll hear him say: ‘Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!’ We don’t know…”

The idea of a return to the ring to put on a all-British bout with Anthony Joshua has been floated, with fans desperate to see the pair trade blows after years of avoiding one and other.

While Sulaiman has promised Fury a world title fight if he does come back to boxing, setting up a potential trilogy with Usyk or a domestic dust-up with Daniel Dubois.

“He will always be number one so absolutely (we will give him a world title shot if he returns) because he is top of the top.”

Live Update, Start Time, where to watch,Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon fight prediction, odds,undercard, &preview

Deontay Wilder: Once one of the most feared punchers on the planet, Deontay Wilder heads into Friday’s fight with Tyrrell Herndon desperately needing to find an offensive spark.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) has lost four of his five most recent trips to the ring, but the past two fights were especially troubling. Wilder was listless in losing a wide 12-round decision to Joseph Parker, landing just 39 of 204 punches thrown. Things got even worse against Zhilei Zhang, when Wilder landed just 16 of 95 punches thrown before suffering a brutal fifth-round knockout.

Wilder went undefeated in the first 43 bouts of his pro career, including 41 knockout wins, with the lone blemish a controversial December 2018 draw against Tyson Fury in a fight most felt Fury deserved to win. Fury would prove to be the better man when he won their February 2020 rematch by TKO in Round 7 and their trilogy fight in October 2021 by KO in Round 11.

Those were the first defeats of Wilder’s career and also ended his lengthy run (10 defenses) as WBC heavyweight champion.

I Always Own The Ring” Claressa Shields Donates Project To Mark her win ahead of her fight against Lani Daniels – “Follow Your Dreams”

Claressa Shields Before stepping into the ring to compete for the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship, Claressa Shields proves once again that her impact goes far beyond boxing.

The undefeated champion announced the launch of the “Follow Your Dreams” program, an emotional community initiative in partnership with King Moore, a child actor, social media phenomenon, and youth motivator who is just nine years old.

The project is presented by SMT Financial Partners and will culminate on fight night, when 1,000 local children will attend the bout at Little Caesars Arena free of charge as part of an unforgettable experience.

The evening will include a powerful tribute to “Follow Your Dreams,” a message of hope, resilience, and faith in the future. Moore will perform his song of the same name live in front of the illuminated stadium, surrounded by the invited children, in a tribute that seeks to inspire an entire generation.

“I know what it’s like to grow up with big dreams and face big challenges,” Shields said. “That’s why it means so much to me to partner with King Moore and SMT to show the youth of Detroit that anything is possible. I want all the young people in that arena to feel recognized, supported, and inspired to pursue their dreams, just as I did,” Shields said.

Claressa shields

Shields, who overcame a childhood marked by poverty in Michigan, remains committed to youth development in her community. “Follow Your Dreams” has benefited iconic Detroit programs such as the Children’s Boxing Center, Kronk/Emanuel Steward Champions of Tomorrow, the Police and Fire Youth Program, the Motor City Wolverines, the Arthur Eddy Academy, and various local schools and organizations.

Moore said, “Children are 50% of the population, but 100% of the future. I want those 1,000 kids at Little Caesars Arena to know that if they pursue their dreams, nothing is impossible!”

SMT CEO DJ Selph concluded, “When a child sees a champion, they believe they can be one. I am proud of the message these two champions are sending to our children.”
