‘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.

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.

Tyson Fury Views Deontay Wilder’s Comeback As ‘Sad,’ Doesn’t Believe in Former Champion

Tyson Fury doesn’t like Deontay Wilder. Not even a little bit. But even he’s disturbed by what he’s been watching.
Fury said Wednesday that he’s returning to fight in 2026 for a Riyadh Season card that’s still to be determined.
When it comes to their rivalry, Fury closed that book shut in 2021 following back-to-back stoppage wins over him. Since then, things haven’t gone Wilder’s way.
He looked as explosive as ever against Robert Helenius in 2022, resulting in a quick first-round KO. But he fell off the map immediately after.
Joseph Parker schooled Wilder in 2023, pitching a near shutout. In 2024, the 39-year-old was beat down and stopped in the fifth against Zhilei Zhang.
As the losses continue to pile up, Fury has watched in the background. Quietly, the big man from the U.K. might’ve been rooting for Wilder. However, after seeing him lose time and time again, Fury has come to the realization that the former WBC beltholder simply isn’t the same.
It’s sad to see someone of Deontay Wilder’s ferocity just a shadow of his former glory,” Fury told several reporters recently.

On a bright note, Wilder’s career is on an upswing. On June 27, he got back in the win column. Tyrrell Herndon was treated as a sacrificial lamb as Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) had an easy time at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas. He mostly toyed with him until he found the fight-ending shot in the seventh.
That win, he hopes, will become more common. Ultimately, he’s optimistic that his final destination is a showdown against current unified heavyweight titlist, Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury highly doubts that will happen. The speed, toughness and, of course, deleterious power, just isn’t there anymore, according to Fury.
Boxing takes no prisoners, and Father Time continues to be undefeated. So seeing Wilder decline rapidly isn’t a surprise to Fury, but he isn’t a fan of how the back end of his career is playing out.
“I’m sad for him.”

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.

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’.

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.

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.

Fury only thinks about Usyk: “That’s the fight I want”

In an interview with Boxing SceneTyson 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.

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.

Can’t Be Him But I Will Comeback For One Man But It’s Not Anthony Joshua – Tyson Fury Announces

Tyson Fury announced an abrupt retirement from boxing back in January. It came following two fights against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, where ‘The Gypsy King’ came up short in both of them. The first was in May of that year, where Fury lost his WBC heavyweight title as Usyk won by split decision to become undisputed heavyweight champion.

They then met again in December, with Usyk winning by unanimous decision on this occasion, the only two times in Fury’s career where he has tasted defeat.

It was expected that the Morecambe man would then head into a domestic showdown with Anthony Joshua before Fury’s decision to hang up his gloves brought those plans to an end.

There has been constant speculation that ‘The Gypsy King’ will return for the fight, however he has now revealed in a media scrum that the only fight he would motivate him to comeback is a trilogy against Usyk.

“If I was going to come back I’d come back for Usyk. In England. That’s the one I want immediately, that would be the fight I want next. In England for sure.”

Tyson fury

Fury also explained how he still disagrees with the outcome of the fight with Usyk in December.

“My last fight was a clear f**king victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs**t.

“I want a fair fight, I don’t want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn’t [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it’s Tueaday it’s Tuesday.”

Usyk returns later this month when he defends his titles against IBF champion Daniel Dubois, with a third bout against Fury looking unlikely for now. However, the Ukrainian has said he would be open to the trilogy.
