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.

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.

It would tempt a ‘lot of people to watch’ Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul , says promoter Eddie Hearn

Jake Paul reiterated his desire to fight Anthony Joshua at the weekend; The British heavyweight’s promoter Eddie Hearn admitted the fight would generate massive public demand and financial reward’; Paul defeated former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr on Saturday night

Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul would tempt a ‘lot of people’ to watch the fight, says the British heavyweight’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

The YouTuber turned professional fighter called for an audacious clash against Joshua, a two-time world champion, in the aftermath of his unanimous decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr last weekend.

Joshua is expected to return in November or December this year after elbow surgery and Hearn admitted that a future showdown with Paul would create massive public demand and financial reward.

“I think you have to give Jake his props and look he’s a disruptor, he wants to create mad moments,” Hearn told Sky Sports.

“If he wants to be mad enough to get in the ring with Anthony Joshua and make several tens of potentially hundreds of millions, he will do it, Jake Paul.

“Will AJ? He’s his own man, but I will be saying, ‘Yeah, go on mate. Go and deal with this guy. Get him out of the game.’

“I think a lot of people will tune in to watch. Is it a fight that I think should be happening? No, not really, but we live in a completely crazy world, especially in the world of boxing where you just never know.”

Paul has said: “Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge.

“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.”

Paul can challenge for world title

Paul, who fights at cruiserweight, would have to step up in weight for a Joshua fight.

But he has now entered the World Boxing Association’s cruiserweight rankings at No 14, making him eligible to challenge WBA champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.

“I want tougher fighters. I want to be a world champion,” Paul said after defeating Chavez.

“Zurdo looked slow tonight. That’d be easy work, too.”

Hearn insisted that Paul deserves credit for a career-best performance against Chavez, a former WBC middleweight champion.

He said: “I’ve surprised myself this week because I haven’t given him the respect that I think he deserves, which is look this guy has been fighting for a while now in big events around the world.

Anthony joshua

“He went into the game as a complete novice. I think he’s made big improvements as a boxer. I think he’s taking things seriously. I don’t think he’s a YouTuber anymore. I think he’s a professional boxer.

“Is he top 15 in the world? Don’t be so ridiculous. But is he top 100 in the world? Maybe and by the way, I know that might not sound as a compliment, that’s a big compliment.

“I think his [boxing] IQ is improving. I think he can whack. I think he can take a shot. He beat Chavez who is a washed up guy but he was a former world champion that did train for that fight.”

“Get him out of boxing” Eddie Hearn praises Jake Paul but implores Anthony Joshua to “Get him out of boxing”

Anthony Joshua: Over the weekend, Jake Paul had another boxing event in which he was better than his opponent. But in the process, he once again showed that his choice of opponent isn’t changing the stigma around him as a boxer. No one can take him too seriously as a pure boxer because of the level of opponents he has faced.

Paul has claimed that he’s ready to take a major step up in competition following his win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The problem is that we’ve heard it from him before. If he’s serious this time, though, we could be set for a truly explosive next fight. Paul went so far as to call out two completely opposite fighters in Gervonta Davis and Anthony Joshua. Both seem outlandish all things considered.

For one, both would be far and away the most accomplished and dangerous fighters Paul has faced so far. They also aren’t even in his weight class. Davis is 60 pounds lighter than Paul, while Joshua is around 40 pounds heavier. Neither makes sense, but if Paul is serious, Joshua’s promoter says why not?

Anthony joshua

Eddie Hearn was asked about Paul calling out Joshua, and Hearn surprisingly had a lot of praise for Paul, saying he deserves respect for taking boxing seriously for so many years. Hearn also doesn’t mind the idea of Joshua fighting Paul, especially since it will lead to a lot of money for everyone involved. But he also sent Paul a warning in the process.

“If he wants to be mad enough to get into a ring with Anthony Joshua and make several tens or potentially hundreds of millions, [Paul] will do it. Will AJ? He’s his own man, but I will be saying, ‘Go and deal with this guy, get him out of the game’. And I think a lot of people would tune in to watch. But is it a fight that I think should be happening? No, not really, but we live in a completely crazy world. You just never know.“

Amir Khan:Terence Crawford Lists Fear Of Things That Worry Him About Canelo Alvarez

After years of waiting, Terence Crawford vs Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is finally going to take place.

Terence Crawford and Canelo will face off on 13 September in Las Vegas for the Mexican’s undisputed super-middleweight world championship.

Both are considered to be two of the best pound-for-pound fighters of this generation and know that defeat for either could mean the end for them at the top.

Amir Khan has previously warned Crawford about fighting Canelo and while the American is confident he can get the job done, he did once admit there were two parts of his opponent’s style that concern him.

Terence Crawford fears Canelo’s power

Over the years, Canelo has developed a fierce reputation for the power in his shots.

More than half of his fights have ended in a knockout victory for the Mexican and while Crawford isn’t fazed about facing him, Canelo’s “power and size” is something that could cause problems.

Terence Crawford

He told TMZ Sports in September 2024: “This fight is massive, definitely.

“You’ve got two guys that are top three pound-for-pound, going head to head with each other.

“I understand Canelo is bigger than me, but I’m up for the challenge. I think it’s a very intriguing fight.”

Manny Pacquiao has controversial Canelo vs Crawford opinion

Everyone is keen to predict how this fight plays out – even if it is still months away.

Manny Pacquiao is no different and ahead of his own return to the ring, the eight-time champion across three separate weight categories is backing Canelo to take home the win, but it will be his most difficult test yet.

Terence Crawford

Via Marca, he said: “It’s not easy for Crawford. I mean, Canelo has a big advantage, but Crawford needs to control his physique, his speed and his power because he’s moving up in weight.

“When I talk about skill, they have to understand what I say. It takes skill to beat practically Terence Crawford and to fight Bivol, Plant, Triple G and others. He must have skill in his fists and in how he conducts himself in the ring. Will he have that skill? I think he will.”

£218,000 Per DAY: Gypsy King Tyson Fury’s staggering 9

£218,000 Per DAY: Gypsy King Tyson Fury’s staggering 9-figure fortune revealed as Gypsy King, 36, banks £218k PER DAY

Tyson Fury: Former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is earning a staggering £218,000 a day. The 36-year-old’s private company, which he uses to manage his earnings, boasts assets exceeding £160million. Tyson Fury Limited reported an impressive profit of £79million between September 2023 and last September, according to recently filed accounts. Its net worth has nearly doubled from the previous year’s £82million, according to The Mirror.

Fury, who lists his profession as “professional boxer”, is the sole director of the company. The accounts reveal a dividend payment of £100,000 to Fury, which is £50,000 less than what he paid himself the previous year. The business does not report any turnover on Companies House, so it remains unclear how much revenue it generated. The company’s operations are listed as “other letting and operating of own or leased real estate, public relations and communications activities, as well as other sports activities.”

Father-of-seven Fury established his company in 2013, and the twelve-month period covered by the accounts predates his retirement following his December 2024 defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. However, it does include his loss to the towering Ukrainian last June, where he lost his heavyweight title.

The two boxers shared a jaw-dropping £150 million for their December bout in Saudi Arabia, which Fury lost on points. While the fighter is not in a hurry to return to the ring, he remains bitter about the result.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman recently 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.”

The Gypsy King, as Fury is affectionately known, resides with his family in a sprawling £1.7m Morecambe mansion.

Fury’s taste for the finer things is evident with a collection of luxury motors, including two Rolls-Royces at £384,000 apiece, alongside a flashy red Ferrari Portofino and a high-speed £200,000 Porsche GT3 RS, yet maintains a nod to modesty with a £20,000 Vauxhall Passat and a Mini Cooper.

Adorned with lavish Rolex watches, his wrist game also features a Richard Mille RM 011 Flyback Chronograph valued over £100,000 and a £90,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph. Known for flaunting designer gear, from Louis Vuitton to Gianni Versace, Fury doesn’t shy from showing off his swag on Instagram.

Married to his teenage love Paris, the pair tied the knot in 2008. Growing up in caravans and leaving school after primary education, Tyson and Paris maintain deep roots in the traveller community, reflecting the boxing icon’s robust pride in his heritage.

Round-By-Round Updates,Deontay Wilder stops Tyrrell Herndon in dominant return for first win in nearly 3 years

Deontay Wilder: Uncrowned has Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Wilder vs. Herndon fight card on Friday night at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Former heavyweight champion Wilder ends a one-year layoff against the little-known Herndon.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs) formerly held the WBC heavyweight title from 2015 until he lost it in his second of three fights with Tyson Fury in 2020. Wilder has recorded just one win since then, a first-round knockout of Robert Helenius in 2022. The one-time heavyweight champion is coming off back-to-back defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia.

Herndon (24-5, 15 KOs) also hasn’t competed for more than 12 months. Fighting the majority of his career on untelevised shows, Herndon isn’t a name familiar to even the most avid boxing fans. He has previously shared the ring with Richard Torrez Jr., Efe Ajagba and Brandon Glanton, while the trio were each in the early stages of their careers, but suffered early losses every time.

Wilder hopes the bout with Herndon will be his first of three in 2025, with a view toward building momentum in preparation for a potential major fight — or even another crack at a world heavyweight title — in 2026.

Wilder vs. Herndon begins at 8 p.m. ET on BLK Prime pay-per-view, with main event ring walks expected around 11 p.m. ET.

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 7

Wilder is closing the gap with punches that are partially landing. Herndon was caught by a left hook in the final 10 seconds of the first minute. Wilder is looking for the one big shot that’s going to finish this. Two more big swings from Wilder. Herndon takes a knee, but no knockdown counted. Two left hooks push Herndon backwards and a right followed. Into the final minute, Herndon took a right hand from Wilder. And another and THIS ONE IS OVER! Referee Ray Corona stops the action in round 7. Wilder records his first win since October 2022!

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 6

Now, Wilder is starting to connect with the right hand early in round six. Wilder is backing Herndon up with clubbing shots and the end could be near. A right hand has forced Herndon onto the ropes and Wilder puts together a combination. Two rights from Wilder chopped down on Herndon’s guard. Herndon’s glove touches the canvas in the final minute of the sixth and he is COUNTED! HUGE swing from Wilder. Wilder is going to work on the inside, and a straight right landed flush on Herndon’s chin. Somehow he survives the round!

10-8 Wilder, 60-52 Wilder

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 5

Herndon’s head movement has noticeably slowed in this round. Wilder swung with the right hand twice early in the frame and Herndon could only partially block it, rather than slip it as he had done consistently in the earlier rounds. The left hands for Wilder are still having the most success for him. “The Bronze Bomber” is letting his right hands go, but can’t seem to land clean yet. A pair of right hands get through for Herndon, now.

10-9 Wilder, 50-44 Wilder

It Called For Rematch As: Eddie Hearn Makes His “Incredible

It Called For Rematch As: Eddie Hearn Makes His “Incredible Momentum”Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois Rematch Prediction

Eddie Hearn: Oleksandr Usyk‘s rematch with Daniel Dubois is less than a month away, and promoter Eddie Hearn has given insight into how he thinks it will play out.

Dubois and Usyk first faced off back in August 2023. Usyk was put with a shot that was ruled low, given time to recover and went on to stop the Brit in the ninth round.

Since then he has twice beaten Tyson Fury to become undisputed ruler before dropping the IBF belt to honour the rematch. Dubois has fought three times and won by stoppage on each occasion, elevated to IBF Champion after beating Filip Hrgovic and then defending that status against former two time ruler Anthony Joshua.

Speaking to DAZN Boxing, Hearn outlined where Dubois is at right now in his career.

“It’s a great fight. For Dubois, the inactivity, missing out on the Joseph Parker fight might hurt him a little bit. The momentum for Dubois has been incredible. He beat Miller, he beat Hrgovic, he beat Joshua.

“But it will be 10 months out of the ring. I still think he will have the confidence, but he could have done with that fight, or maybe this fight three months ago. When they fought last time I don’t think that was the best Usyk by any stretch, but I also don’t think it was the Daniel Dubois we have now.

“At that stage, he went to Poland and gave Usyk a decent fight. He didn’t win many rounds but he gave him a good fight, and obviously the controversial low blow as well. Now I think Dubois has a lot more confidence. “

He then broke down his chances of taking the win.

Eddie Earn

“The reality is it’s for the undisputed heavyweight world championship. You know, Daniel Dubois could be the undisputed world heavyweight champion. I don’t think he will be, but he can punch and he is strong.

“When you fight Usyk, people say the bigger man has got to be more dominant and push him back and that is what everyone said about ‘AJ’, but it’s not that easy. Look at the size of ‘AJ’, look at the size of Tyson Fury. They weren’t able to get on the front foot, beat him up and push him back. Can Daniel Dubois do it? Probably not, but he’s young, heavy-handed and confident, and he’s in the fight.”

If Usyk wins on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, he will be a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion – three time in total having won all the belts at cruiserweight – with little left to achieve in the sport. Dubois, of course, wants to end his career without letting him achieve that historic feat.
