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.

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!

Moreover, the Tuscaloosa resident even hinted at hanging up the gloves after the unexpected loss against Parker. In his post-match interview, Wilder stated: “I’m a happy fighter. I’ll be back, and if not, then it’s been a pleasure. I don’t know [if I still have the same fire I used to], a lot has calmed me down.” Plus, given his underwhelming performance, the best course of action for the heavyweight is to retire. However, this will reshape the heavyweight scene drastically.

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.

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.”

Anthony joshua

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?

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.

Anthony joshua

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

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.

“[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’.

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.

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.
