Picking Up the Pieces, Maya Jama Draws Closer to “A J” During New Campaign—Romance Rumors Swirl After Stormzy Breakup

Maya Jama appeared nonplussed by her recent split with Stormzy as she spent time with heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua on Wednesday.

The presenter is currently working on a new Lucozade campaign with Joshua, and she was filmed interviewing the sportsman at a London gym as he prepares for his hotly anticipated rematch with Andy Ruiz, Jr

Taking to Instagram stories, Maya, 25, shared a short behind the scenes video of herself chatting with the dethroned former unified world heavyweight champion as they sat alongside one another outside a boxing ring.

The presenter also shared a joke with fans by claiming Joshua, who travels to Saudi Arabia for his rematch with Ruiz, Jr in December, was ‘teaching her how to fight.’

She later shared a selfie with the boxer, who grinned while sitting next to Maya following their promotional interview.

They first went public with their romance in 2016 after initially keeping their relationship private, and have made no secret of their commitment to each other.

Stormzy previously said he planned to marry Maya, telling the Sunday Mirror in February 2018: ‘I’m still so young but I want to propose, it’s going to happen and I will do it right. She is so sick, she is the best.’

Meanwhile, Maya has been less outspoken about their relationship, and last year hit out at the fact that she was often referred to as ‘Stormzy’s girlfriend’, calling the term ‘ignorant.’

Currently Something Big Could Be Brewing, Boxing Legend Plotting

Currently Something Big Could Be Brewing, Boxing Legend Plotting a Potential Gervonta Davis Clash After Lamont Roach Rematch

Gervonta Davis is currently in the headlines for the wrong reasons as he was arrested on July 11 on charges of domestic violence. Davis reportedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two children, leaving the victim with a cut inside her lip.

His rematch with Lamont Roach on August 16 looks uncertain as PBC is exploring a new date. Davis reportedly hasn’t trained since the incident occurred on June 15th.

His first fight against Lamont Roach was the talk of the boxing world after it ended in a controversial majority draw. ‘Tank’ took a deliberate knee during the fight which wasn’t counted as a knockdown. There’s a lot of hype surrounding the rematch as fans want to see how he handles Roach a second time around.

While the second fight is currently uncertain, Davis has received a call-out for a blockbuster showdown after that. This year’s Hall of Fame inductee, Manny Pacquiao, is keen to take on the WBA lightweight champion after his fight against Mario Barrios this weekend.

Gibbons believes Pacquiao has the physical advantage against Davis, saying “Gervonta pushes the buttons and is a household name in many ways. Pacquiao and Davis match up very well. For the first time in a long time, Manny would actually be a taller and bigger fighter than his opponent. That’s the dream. We were close at one time to fighting Davis. We were talking but we couldn’t come to an agreement on a couple things and the timing didn’t work out.”

However, Gibbons added that Gervonta Davis’ rematch against Lamont Roach could turn out to be decisive, saying, “If Pacquiao beats Barrios and Davis beats Roach, I think that’s the fight. The people would be really intrigued. You couldn’t sell it as much before Pacquiao fought Barrios because everyone was saying Gervonta is a beast, but Gervonta got exposed a little bit and had a bad night against Roach, and the shine is off a little bit. If Manny shows brilliance against Barrios, they are going to buy into a Tank fight in a heartbeat.”

Fury May Be Sidelined for the Rest of the Year, But a Shocking

Fury May Be Sidelined for the Rest of the Year, But a Shocking Usyk Rematch Could Be Lurking in the Shadows, Hints Frank Warren

Fury, 36, announced his retirement from boxing in January after losing twice against the WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk – who fights Daniel Dubois in an undisputed heavyweight bout at Wembley on Saturday.

But two-time heavyweight champion Fury – who retired in 2022 before returning six months later – has hinted at a return.

“I spoke to him [Fury] over the weekend about boxing. He won’t fight this year,” Warren told the 5 Live Boxing podcast.

“He’s got this Netflix second series coming but he’s in the gym. He’s in it for his wellbeing, physically and mentally. It keeps him in a good place.”

Earlier this month, Fury took to social media to announce plans for a trilogy bout with Ukranian Usyk at Wembley Stadium in April.

“Carl Froch Shares Where Daniel Dubois Would Stand Among British Heavyweight Greats If He Defeats Oleksandr Usyk”

Former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch has revealed where he’ll rank Daniel Dubois compared to other British heavyweights, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, if he beats Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley on Saturday.

Dubois, 27, comes into the contest holding the IBF heavyweight title while the current unified heavyweight titleholder Usyk, 38, boasts the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine belts.

Wembley Stadium will be packed to the rafters by fans eagerly anticipating the intriguing bout this weekend. Of course, the pair previously went toe-to-toe in Wroclaw, Poland, in August 2023, with Usyk winning via knockout in round nine.

Almost two years on from the pair’s first clash, Dubois is a different beast. Since his defeat in Poland, the 27-year-old Londoner has defeated Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and most impressively stopped Joshua, 35, in round five of the all-British clash at Wembley last summer.

As for Usyk, he has beaten Fury twice since his last fight with Dubois and was his usual slick self in the ring during those bouts. But at 38, is he slowing down? We will find out on Saturday night.

Dubois will have to do something that no other man has done in Usyk’s 23 professional bouts and finish the contest as the victor.

Team Gervonta Davis Claims Shakur Stevenson Is Using a Classic

Team Gervonta Davis Claims Shakur Stevenson Is Using a Classic Mayweather Tactic to Gain the Upper Hand in Potential Showdown

In 2023, when Shakur Stevenson moved up to the lightweight division, he had only one goal in mind: Gervonta Davis. Four fights, one title, and two years later, he is still chasing that dream, practically pleading for the fight. However, a week ago, the Matchroom head honcho gave a hopeful update to all Sugar fans, suggesting September could finally bring the long-awaited showdown.

Meanwhile, Davis, fresh off his controversial clash against Lamont Roach, is locked in for a June rematch. Should he conquer that lingering ghost, he’d have five months to map out his ambitious plan for 2025—a gamble that Shakur Stevenson and Matchroom were ready to bet on. However, it looks like another losing battle for Newark native, as Tank’s co-trainer Kenny Ellis flipped the script, slyly suggesting he’s borrowing a page from Floyd Mayweather’s playbook.

Shakur Stevenson missed the golden opportunity with Gervonta Davis

In a recent interview with MillCity Boxing, Ellis was asked about Hearn’s and Stevenson’s claims of waiting for Gervonta Davis till September. “I see that coming from Shakur, waiting as long as you can,” the coach remarked, hinting he wasn’t surprised by the tactic. He claimed, “Shakur is trying to age him out.” Ellis believes that defensive brilliance is not the only thing connecting Stevenson and Mayweather.

He’s convinced Stevenson’s mimicking The Pretty Boy’s tactic of picking fights with opponents who’ve just slipped past their prime strategy, a long debated in boxing circles, with matchups like Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez and Shane Mosley often cited as examples.

However, the real blow came when Ellis shut the door, declaring, “But he ain’t aging anytime soon. I don’t care for it because it could have been happen. I don’t really care for it,” practically putting an end to the prospect of this unification bout between them. When asked to elaborate, Kenny Ellis added, “Fighters, period, do that. They try to wait until they think a fighter is over. But Tank ain’t old. He ain’t nowhere near old.”

The declaration has left the WBC lightweight champion at a crossroads. His entire move to 135 was built around landing Davis, and now that dream is teetering on edge. And even though the division is filled with exciting talents, none of those names carry a payday as big as Tank. At this point, the best move for him seems like moving up to 140—a move far more sensible now that he has opted out of his clash against William Zepeda.

Stevenson-Zepeda is a prospect fight that almost every boxing fan wanted to see—a showdown between the WBC lightweight champion and the interim titleholder. This was a fight that even Shakur had been targeting for a long time. And for a while, it seemed like both camps were zeroing in on a June date. However, it looks like the move has fallen apart as on the weekend, Oscar De La Hoya took to his ‘X’ and wrote, “After all the s**t talking, @ShakurStevenson pulls out of Zepeda

Shakur Stevenson instantly fired back. He owned up to walking away but pinned the blame on His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. “😂😂😂😂 is that what they told you?? Turki promised me a number and now he going way back on that number that he promised me and sending his Towel boys to run me the info instead telling me straight up what he tryna do.. Ion bow down to nobody Mr De la Hoya now let’s negotiate!” he stated.

Just a month ago, Stevenson made a splash in his Riyadh Season debut, positioning himself as a marquee name for Alalshikh’s operation. However, as the reports suggest that “@Turki_alalshikh was only willing to pay less than $500,000 (before taxes) for @ShakurStevenson to face his WBC mandatory William Zepeda,” the power dynamics have already shifted and not in favor of Stevenson.

With his both fights on the verge of collapse, the Newark native has a big decision to make—clinging to a fading chance of glory at 135 lbs might be tempting, but it’s starting to look like a shaky bet.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has ignited speculation by revealing

By Admin July 16, 2025

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has ignited speculation by revealing that intense behind-the-scenes talks are underway for a potential blockbuster showdown between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul.

Alalshikh, the influential chairman behind many of Saudi Arabia’s major boxing events, recently met with Jake Paul in Riyadh, sparking speculation about an unlikely but lucrative showdown between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the former unified heavyweight champion.

Speaking to Boxing News during the Ring III weigh-in, Hearn admitted the idea is gaining traction:
“After speaking to His Excellency last night… in this mad world that we live in, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

While Joshua still has his sights set on an all-British heavyweight clash with Tyson Fury, Hearn says the door is open for a crossover fight with Paul, especially with Alalshikh expressing interest.

“He’ll Be Seeing The Canvas” Rolly Romero Says Canelo vs

“He’ll Be Seeing The Canvas” Says Canelo vs Terence Crawford Will Ends In A Knockout

Terence Crawford is just months away from challenging Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight world championship. Rolando Romero has little doubt how the action plays out.

Crawford will make the jump up two divisions from his last outing for the fight, looking to be the first man to defeat Canelo at the weight of 168 lbs. The Mexican has previously lost to Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol, but is yet to be bested at super-middleweight, where he has beaten the likes of Billy Joe Saunders, Caleb Plant and Jaime Munguia.

Rolly’ Romero, who is coming off a career best victory over Ryan Garcia, told FightHype that the weight is too much of a factor to give ‘Bud’ Crawford a chance.

The American’s last outing came in August of 2024, a points win over previously undefeated Israel Madrimov to capture the WBA Super Welterweight World Title. The result ended an eleven-fight stoppage streak for ‘Bud’, perhaps showing that his power is unlikely to carry up. He faces Canelo on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.

Terence Crawford has received yet another vote of confidence

Terence Crawford has received yet another vote of confidence in his clash with Canelo Alvarez — this time from a seasoned Mexican trainer.

The Omaha fighter has had support from across the boxing world, including former champion Shannon Briggs, who believes he stops Alvarez late.

Terence Crawford has been full of belief for the bout despite a natural weight disadvantage as he comes up for his first super middleweight figh

One disadvantage heading into the fight for the American would be activity, as he competed last September, whereas Canelo has fought as recently as May.

Robert Garcia believes Terence Crawford has a ‘big’ chance due to Canelo being ‘comfortable’

However, Robert Garcia, the current trainer of Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, thinks the timing of this fight benefits the 37-year-old.

In an interview, he explained: “Most of the people don’t give Crawford a chance due to the size, but he’s got skills, he’s got good speed, footwork, that’s why I do give him a chance.

Anthony Joshua trainer Robert Garcia was a super featherweight world champion before success as a coach

Before training big names like Anthony Joshua and Mikey Garcia, Garcia was a successful professional in his own right.

From 1992 to 2001, he was a super featherweight fighter who won the IBF title, which he defended twice successfully.

Known by the nickname ‘The Grandpa’, he amassed 34 wins with a 73% knockout ratio.

In his three losses, he was knocked out three times, including by legendary name Diego Corrales, the former two-weight world champion.

Maybe not one of his most famous moments, but Corrales landed a sickening straight right hand to floor Garcia and end the fight.

Now using his experience to train the next generation, he has so far guided Nonito Donaire and Rodriguez to success in world title fights.

With two Trainer of the Year awards under his belt already, maybe he can add another if his fighters continue their 2025 success.

Hearn said the following to Pro Boxing Fans: “I was with His Excellency yesterday, obviously he’d met Jake Paul, I think he would like to do it, you know, but it’s mad enough to happen. It’s not something we expected.

“If it’s offered to us I would be shocked if AJ didn’t accept it, why wouldn’t you?”

Hearn added: “The plan for us is to fight Tyson Fury next year, if we can squeeze in Jake Paul along the way and you guys want AJ to end this whole process, he’ll gladly do it.”

With Turki Alalshikh seemingly keen on making Joshua vs Paul, it seems anything is possible and there is a real chance we see Joshua take on Paul, before he takes on ‘The Gypsy King’ in 2026.
