Canelo’s Fiercest Foe Warns Crawford as One Fatal Mistake Could Shatter His Shot at Beating the Pound-for-Pound King

Terence Crawford has a huge task ahead of him as he moves up two weight divisions to take on Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight titles.

Terence Crawford struggled to win a razor-close decision against Israil Madrimov in his last fight, the first and only of his career at super-welterweight.

With the win, Bud became a four-weight world champion, though he may be pushing his luck as he jumps not one, but two more divisions for the pound-for-pound mega-fight.

With the weight disadvantage, Crawford needs every advantage he can get, including some advice from Canelo‘s toughest opponent.

Lara faced Canelo in 2014, and lost in an extremely tight split-decision. The fight remains one of the most contested of Canelo’s career, alongside the Gennadiy Golovkin fights

According to BoxRec, the average score from 89 members of the media was a 114-114 draw. Canelo, who Bruce Carrington called lazy recently, won on 34 cards, Lara on 30, and 25 couldn’t separate the pair.

Now, years later, Lara spoke to FightHype.com on the one thing Crawford must not allow Canelo to do in their fight.

The interviewer translated Lara’s words, “[Lara] remembers [Canelo] used his legs real good and as long as Crawford uses his legs and doesn’t let Canelo just hit him in the arms and beat him up in the arms, he has a very good chance.”

Lara also said of the fight, in the interviewer’s words, “He sees it as a very interesting 50/50 fight, he feels that Canelo’s very strong right now and wants to see how Crawford will handle the power, especially in the early rounds.”

Lara defeated Danny Garcia in his latest fight at the age of 42.

Canelo could face Diego Pacheco, Christian Mbilli, Hamzah Sheeraz, or Chris Eubank Jr. next if he beats Crawford.

One man who could’ve done with Lara’s warning regarding arm punches is British boxer, Callum Smith, who faced Canelo in 2020.

Smith lost the fight via unanimous decision, but became one of a few British fighters to go the distance with the Mexican.

Following the fight, Smith showed off some serious swelling to his arm after Canelo had targeted it for the entire fight in a bid to neutralize Smith’s arsenal of weapons.

‘He is 15 times better than, Former Daniel Dubois trainer’s interesting response to Tyson Fury callout

The former Daniel Dubois trainer, Shane McGuigan, has responded to Tyson Fury’s callout of the young heavyweight.

Dubois is preparing to face Oleksandr Usyk for the chance at becoming undisputed champion on July 19th.

Shane McGuigan says Daniel Dubois is ’15 times’ the fighter of Francis Ngannou in Tyson Fury callout response

Now, during Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight week, McGuigan was asked for his reaction to the comments about his former fighter.

In the interview, he said: “I mean, I don’t know if that is a true comment or not, let’s put it this way, Daniel Dubois is 15 times the fighter Francis Ngannou is.

“I know he might not have been up for it, but in terms of athleticism, that will to win, and he has got a boxing background, he is schooled, he is not like Ngannou.”

The 36-year-old famously won a narrow split decision over the former UFC champion in October 2023.

McGuigan explained: “Styles make fights, he is right, styles make fights in the sense he will cause Daniel a lot of problems, whether he can hold up to that punching power, I am not sure.

“And I think he definitely has the potential to beat Tyson, I don’t think Tyson is at his best anymore, Daniel Dubois is fresher.”

Oleksandr Usyk wants one more fight after Dubois, then retirement

It looks likely that the Ukrainian will hang up the gloves soon, but maybe he should retire after the Dubois clash.

However, this is not on the mind of the Olympic gold medallist just yet if he overcomes the Londoner.

Tyson fury

Speaking in an interview earlier this year, he said: “Now my goal is to become a three-time undisputed. Listen, I love boxing, training hard.

“I guess it’s my last two fights, with Dubois and next, I don’t know who. I’ll talk to you after this fight, it’s my life.”

If he does, he will follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman, Vasiliy Lomachenko, as a fan favourite and legend of the game.

But his attention is firmly set on the tall task of a big punching heavyweight in the form of his life, which is never an easy ask.

Anthony Joshua Vows to Take the Heavyweight Division by

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.

“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.

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.

Jannik Sinner Beats 21-year Roger Federer Record As Wimbledon Title Charge Continues

Jannik Sinner cruised into the fourth round at Wimbledon and surpassed Roger Federer to a stunning record in the process.

The world no. 1 overcame Pedro Martinez with a 6-1 6-3 6-1 victory on Centre Court, his third straight sets win in SW19 this year.

Sinner, who is back to Grand Slam action after his French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz, is on course for a lengthy Wimbledon run.

And one statistic has shown just how impressive he has been so far as he prepares for his fourth consecutive appearance in round four.

Amongst the top seeds at Wimbledon, the Italian has conceded the fewest games en route to the last 16 in the Open Era with just 17.

Federer had previously done so with only 19 games lost in 2004.

This will come as a good omen for Sinner as the Swiss legend went on to win Wimbledon that same year.

Sinner has won three Grand Slam titles but none of them have come at the most prestigious tournament of them all.

A 2023 semi-final finish is his best outcome on the hallowed grass courts as he lost to the eventual runner-up Novak Djokovic.

The 23-year-old is the reigning champion at the Australian Open and US Open, the former of which he has won in the last two years.

A Career Grand Slam is certainly achievable for Sinner another year, and a win over Alcaraz at the French Open final would have come as a big boost.

But only Wimbledon glory will be at the forefront of his mind, with Grigor Dimitrov opponent in the fourth round.

“Every time you enter a Grand Slam in the first week it is special, even more so at Wimbledon,” he said after.

“We are trying to keep pushing but this week could not have gone better for me.”

Sinner, Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz are the remaining top five seeds in a tournament that had produced plenty of shocks.

Alexander Zverev and Jack Draper have faced early exits, with Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune and Daniil Medvedev also out.
