“It’s Hell” British Boxing Legend Reveals Reasons Anthony Joshua Beats Tyson Fury

The sweet science has never been short on dream matchups—but some linger longer than others. One of them is the tantalizing clash between two titans of British boxing: the thunderous Olympic gold medalist from Watford and the undefeated giant with a gypsy soul. Fans have been salivating over Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury for years, but as the bout remains stuck in a promotional tug-of-war, opinions have begun swirling like a good left hook.

Amid this never-ending “Will they, won’t they?” comes a surprisingly sharp jab from none other than Frank Bruno, the beloved former WBC heavyweight champion and British boxing legend from the 90s. Speaking to IFL TV’s Kugan Cassius during a candid ringside interview—clearly still energized by the roar of the sport—Bruno pulled no punches while discussing who he believes would come out on top if the long-anticipated clash took place tomorrow.

When asked if he still watches the sport, the 63-year-old legend grinned: “Yeah, I watch boxing all the time—that’s my life. You always want to watch the boxing. There hasn’t been too much on at the moment, but I hope it comes into a season where a lot of people are fighting one another and it gets very busy.” It wasn’t long before Cassius steered the conversation into deeper waters: the elusive AJ vs. Fury fight.

Bruno, who once battled Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis in his prime, didn’t hesitate. “Money talks, and bullsh*t always walks, man,” he smirked, before diving into the hypothetical: “When the money’s right on the table, you’ll see them jump to it like flies. It should be a good fight once they get together.” But when pressed on who he’d favor in that fantasy fight, the Londoner dropped a heavyweight opinion: “I’d edge it to Joshua, you know what I mean? I think Tyson Fury has seen better days. AJ’s still younger, hungrier, and wants to prove himself. So he’ll have that fight in him—and he’ll do a good job.”

While the boxing world keeps talking, one man might finally be doing the walking—quietly stitching together the showdown fans feared would never happen.

Spectacularly: Turki Alalshikh’s Grand Vision For Delivering The Epic Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua Showdown Has Been Unveiled

Anthony Joshua: Turki Alalshikh prepares comeback fights for Fury and Joshua towards an epic showdown Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh has ambitious plans for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to return to the ring for warm-up fights before facing each other in a blockbuster bout.

According to Eddie Hearn, this strategy refined with Riyadh Season seeks to maximize expectations and ensure that the great British showdown in the world of professional boxing is realized.
Who is Turki Alalshikh and why does his plan matter?

Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, has managed to bring high-profile fights to the country and coordinates events with significant financial assistance. His plan is not improvised: first he plans comeback fights for each boxer, and then bring them together in a main event that will attract worldwide attention.

This provides a clear framework: first recover, then clash. Eddie Hearn added that Anthony Joshua maintains his focus and rebuilds from scratch, while Tyson Fury, even in retirement, remains a relevant player thanks to Saudi backing.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua plan details

  • Anthony Joshua: Joshua is in talks to fight in late 2025 during the Riyadh Season, dodging an early return against Fury. His return is expected between October and December, possibly against another contractually required contender before facing Fury.
    • Tyson Fury: Fury confirmed his return in 2026 under the sponsorship of Alalshikh, although he is torn between facing Oleksandr Usyk or going straight to Joshua. Although he would aspire to a “trilogy” against Usyk, the plan also considers his clash with Joshua as a monumental event

    The rivalry generates global expectation. A Fury vs. Joshua fight at Wembley or Riyadh is shaping up to be one of the biggest in British boxing. The idea is to first consolidate their prominence with comeback fights, attract audiences and profitability, and then seal the main fight.

  • Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, a million-dollar idea

  • The idea is to first consolidate the spotlight with comeback fights, attract audiences and profitability, and then seal the main fight for the delight of the spectators. Fury retired after recent defeats, which raises doubts about his willingness to return and Joshua is coming off a loss and is recovering from surgery, but Hearn insists that he remains focused
  • Saudi billionaire Turki Alalshikh’s plan, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, follows a clear path: comeback fights for Fury and Joshua, and then seal the long-awaited showdown. If both overcome their recent conditions and Alalshikh delivers on his financial promise, we could see one of the most epic duels in modern boxing. For now, fans and analysts will be waiting to see how the first fights turn out.

‘Tank’ Davis: I Recieved Deadly Threat and Fake Promise from Lamont Roach For Rematch With Him

he August 16 rematch against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis will be a very special moment for Lamont Roach Jr, where he surely feels he has something to prove to the world, once his last appearances in the ring have left many doubts about his mentality to fight for the WBA lightweight title.

This is because Roach Jr. proved many people wrong during his March 1 fight, which ended in a majority draw. Meanwhile, Gervonta “Tank” Davis went into that fight as a -1600 favorite, and many believed Roach Jr. had no chance against one of the sport’s biggest stars. Then, Roach Jr. not only stood up to Tank, but most believe he should have won the fight, given the multiple fouls Davis committed (such as kneeing in the ninth round) that should at least have cost him points.

Roach Jr’s strong threat to Tank Davis

But even after that fight, some do not give Roach Jr the respect he deserves. Instead, the boxing community says that Tank was not in his usual mental state before stepping into the ring, and that showed in his lackluster performance. In other words, they don’t think Roach Jr is ready to face the best version of Davis. However, the challenger is preparing to prove the doubters wrong. And he went a step further with a rather disturbing claim he made during training, which was broadcast on YouTube.

Gervonta davis

Gervonta will be the reason I catch a body in this fight, you see?”. The camera then focused on one of Roach’s trainers, who said: “The champion doesn’t lie! That joker will be the reason I catch a body, I assure you”. Surely, the fact that Roach Jr. invokes this same sentiment will come as a surprise to the boxing world.

It is unclear exactly what Roach Jr and his trainer were referring to, but “catching a body” is commonly used as a colloquial expression meaning to commit murder. This phrase has become famous in the boxing community since heavyweight Deontay Wilder claimed in May 2019 that “he was still trying to get a body on my record”, which generated much criticism about his intentions.

The fight between Lamont Roach Jr. and Gervonta Davis will be one of the most anticipated of the year, where Tank will have to prove that he is up to the task to retain the WBA lightweight title, but the challenger will have to show the world that he is the real owner of the belt.

Once He’s Dealt With: Shakur vs Gervonta Is On the Horizon And After William Zepeda Challenge

In what could soon become the most defining showdown in the modern lightweight era, boxing fans around the world are buzzing over the potential super fight between Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta “Tank” Davis. The latest headline—“Once He’s Dealt With, Then Best Lightweight In The World Shakur Will Face Gervonta Davis”—has sparked widespread anticipation. But first, Shakur must get past one of the division’s most dangerous contenders: William Zepeda.

The Road to Supremacy: Why This Fight Matters

The lightweight division is stacked with talent, but few names carry the same weight as Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis. Both fighters are undefeated, boast elite skill sets, and possess contrasting styles that make a future bout between them a dream matchup.

But before fans can get too far ahead, Shakur Stevenson has business to handle. Standing in his way is William “Camaron” Zepeda, the relentless Mexican southpaw who has built a reputation on volume punching, pressure, and a granite chin. Zepeda is not just a hurdle; he’s a legitimate threat to any top lightweight.

Shakur Stevenson: Master of the Sweet Science

Shakur Stevenson has long been hailed as one of boxing’s most gifted technicians. A former Olympic silver medalist, Shakur is a two-weight world champion who has yet to be truly tested in the professional ranks. His slick footwork, defensive wizardry, and pinpoint accuracy make him a nightmare for any opponent.

His recent performances, including dominant wins over Oscar Valdez and Edwin De Los Santos, have solidified his status as one of the sport’s pound-for-pound elite. Yet critics often argue he’s yet to face someone with relentless pressure and high-volume output like William Zepeda.

William Zepeda may not have the same mainstream name recognition as Stevenson or Davis, but hardcore boxing fans know what he brings to the table. With an undefeated record and a ferocious style, Zepeda has earned his place among the division’s most feared contenders.

He throws punches in bunches, often exceeding 1,000 punches per fight. His engine never stalls, and his forward momentum has broken down opponent after opponent. For Shakur, a calculated and cerebral fighter, Zepeda’s style could pose the exact type of chaos that disrupts rhythm and tests endurance.

If Shakur beats Zepeda convincingly, it erases any lingering doubts about his toughness, adaptability, and readiness for Tank Davis.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis: The Finisher

Then there’s Gervonta Davis—the explosive knockout artist who combines raw power with underrated boxing IQ. With a record filled with highlight-reel finishes, Davis has already knocked out the likes of Leo Santa Cruz, Rolando Romero, and Ryan Garcia.

While Tank has primarily relied on his devastating left hand to dismantle opponents, his timing, patience, and ability to adjust mid-fight are what make him truly dangerous. A bout with Stevenson would be a battle of brains and brawn, of finesse vs firepower, defense vs destruction.

Shakur Stevenson’s confidence is unwavering. The statement “Once He’s Dealt With…” isn’t just about William Zepeda—it’s a declaration to the entire lightweight division. For Shakur, Zepeda is the final test before the ultimate challenge. And for Gervonta Davis, the time for legacy-defining fights is now.

If both remain undefeated, their collision is inevitable—and it could become one of the greatest fights in boxing’s recent history.

Stay tuned. The road to lightweight supremacy is heating up—and once Zepeda is “dealt with,” the war between Shakur and Tank might finally begin.

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.

Speaking on The G.O.A.T.S Podcast, Canelo initially gave plaudits to ‘Bud’ Crawford who he claims is a ‘great fighter’, before going on to criticise the 37-year-old’s resume as he questions whether the unbeaten American has fought just ‘one elite fighter’ during his career.

“Don’t get me wrong okay, he’s a good fighter, a great fighter, I always said before I see him calling me out and wanting the fight and everything, I said before he is a great fighter but if you look at his career just mention me one elite fighter.”

The Mexican superstar then responded to claims made by Crawford that Viktor Postol and Ricky Burns are at least two ‘elite’ fighters that he has faced.

“Who? Who’s that guy? A 40-year-old champion in that moment beat Mr. Postol in my gym, I saw that. Ricky Burns? He’s not elite. There is champions, good fighters, but elite fighters are different, way different.”

Terence Crawford

Despite Canelo’s claims, Crawford could cement himself as one of the greatest fighters of all time with a victory over the Mexican superstar in September, as he sets his sights on becoming a three-weight undisputed champion in the process.

“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.

“Canelo got a great resume, I’m not going to take it away from him. He’s fought a lot of great champions but at the age that he fought them in, they was already on a decline, some of them, and when he didn’t you see what happened, he fought Lara and I thought Lara beat him, he fought Mayweather, you see what happened? He fought Bivol when he went up and tried to be great like I’m doing and he came up short, when he fought my boy from Texas they gave him problems but it is what it is, I got the style, I got the skills, I got the heart and I’m not going to sit around and play no games with Canelo because he’s not going to play no games with me.”

Canelo vs Erislandy Lara fight took place on July 12, 2014 and was a close and tactical 12-round affair. Lara, a slick Cuban boxer, used a lot of movement and landed clean jabs, trying to avoid exchanges. Canelo, on the other hand, was more aggressive, going to the body and pressing the action.

Terence Crawford

The fight was controversial because it was hard to judge – Lara landed cleaner punches, but Canelo was more active. In the end, Canelo won by split decision, but many fans and analysts were divided on who really deserved the victory.

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.

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.

Anthony joshua

“I’ve been to the top, I’ve been knocked down, and I’ve got back up. But now, it’s about legacy. Every fight from here on is a legacy fight,” Joshua recently told the press during an appearance at a London gym. “I’m not just here to take part—I’m here to take over.”

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.

RELATED : Day 5 of Wimbledon: Anthony Joshua and Olivia Dean Officially Make

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.

Anthony joshua

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 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.

READ MORE : Gervonta “Tank” Davis Set for Explosive Rematch Against

Others speculate that Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs), who last fought at 140 pounds, may be aiming even higher—toward a showdown with Subriel Matías, the IBF Super Lightweight Champion known for his relentless pressure and knockout power. Either way, Tank’s message is loud and clear: he’s coming for champions outside his current domain.

Moving back into a higher weight class—perhaps permanently—would place him among an elite group of multi-division champions like Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford, and Manny Pacquiao. But it’s not just about belts anymore—it’s about defining greatness.

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.

MORE NEWS : Gervonta Davis Accused Of Planning Retirement Just To Avoid

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.
