&#8220;You Must Make One Big Change Before Usyk Rematch Johnny Nelson Warns Tyson Fury

“You Must Make One Big Change Before Usyk Rematch Johnny Nelson Warns Tyson Fury

Jonny Nelson continues to share his concerns for Tyson Fury ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk out in Saudi Arabia on December 21.

Fury is currently dealing with something he has never had to deal with as a professional boxer: a loss.

He was given his first after 12 hard-fought rounds with Usyk in May. It was a close contest that saw both many have success, but Usyk came out on top.

The Brit has now announced his return to the gym and post on social media to declare that he is motivated to come back from his first loss and regain his world titles.

One of the potential issues fans and pundits have discussed after their first fight was that Fury’s corner had the loud voices of father John and trainers SugarHill Steward and Andy Lee all competing with one another to give instructions.

‘I can be in a position to fight him’: Joseph Parker hoping to land fight with Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua is expected to formally announce his next fight just about any day now, and while there’s been plenty of speculation as to who his opponent might be, Joseph Parker tells Sky Sports that he would love to get the call as he believes he’s earned that right.

“There’s a lot of people that want to fight Anthony Joshua. I feel like with what I’ve done I can be in a position to fight him,” he said. “To be honest, it’s not really about what I want and what he wants. It’s what everyone else wants and a lot of fights are happening in Saudi Arabia.”

Parker would continue on by saying if a major world title should become available due to the mandated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, he also feels like he could be in line for that shot as well.

If that proves to be the case Parker is in a pretty good position to earn a significant payday or at least some hardware — or perhaps both. Whatever proves to be the case, Parker insists he’s ready for what’s next.

The Ring is the judge” Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois yet to be sanctioned for world title despite AJ teasing fight announcement

Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois could miss out on a world title shot next.

Anthony Joshua and Dubois have held talks over a huge showdown at Wembley Stadium on September 21, in a fight which was expected to be for the IBF world title.

Oleksandr Usyk currently holds the belt and was set to be stripped, but has filed an exception, to try and keep hold of the belt until his December 21 rematch with Tyson Fury.

Irrespective of the ruling, it looked likely that things would be settled before the fight in order to discover whether they will be fighting for world glory.

But according to IBF, who were contacted by Sky Sports, they are yet to receive any official request for the all-British event to be sanctioned for their heavyweight title.

A press conference is scheduled in London for June 26, which would now give teams limited time to receive world title sanctioning for the clash.

Joshua suggested his future will be made clear on social media, posting on Instagram: “Nearly finished my negotiations for my next fight! Feeling motivated.”

Talks were underway to settle the best of British with ‘Dynamite’ after he stopped Filip Hrgovic to become clear IBF mandatory challenger.

But there were also other options in the running, including Zhilei Zhang who defeated Deontay Wilder with a brutal KO.

Joseph Parker has also issued a call-out to AJ, and is plotting revenge after his points defeat to the former Olympian in March 2018.

He said: “There’s a lot of people that want to fight Anthony Joshua. I feel like with what I’ve done I can be in a position to fight him.

No word from IBF about title, But Anthony Joshua likely to face Daniel Dubois

Former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is likely to confirm Daniel Dubois as his next opponent, but both may have to wait for a title shot.

Former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is slated to fight in Wembley Stadium in September, and such is the draw of the British fighter that he can probably fill the 90,000 seater if he chooses his opponent wisely.

Speaking to Sky Sports, AJ revealed that he is just days away from revealing who that opponent will be, and while it is widely expected to be fellow Brit Daniel Dubois, that is by no means certain.

The bout will be promoted by Saudi’s boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, as he dips his toe into the British boxing market. The Saudi will be promoting a unified super welterweight title fight between Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles on August 3, a move into the American market that has drawn stern criticism from Oscar De La Hoya.

Anthony Joshua is a huge draw and has already sold out Wembley stadium twice before; for his world title wins over Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin. The long awaited clash with Deontay Wilder is dead in the water following the Bronze Bomber’s losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

Zhang had been in the mix for a shot at AJ, but his team have confirmed that they have not had any contact from Joshua’s camp. Another former world champion who is a possible is Joseph Parker, who has completely revitalized his career. Parker lost a decision to Joshua in 2018, but feels that he is due a rematch.

“He Took 5 Years Off My Life” World Champion Who Got KOd By Canelo Warns Crawford

Terence Crawford has set his sights firmly on a fight against super-middleweight undisputed champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez – but one former opponent has warned him about the ‘dangers’ of facing the Mexican.

Crawford last fought at welterweight, dominating and stopping fierce rival Errol Spence Jr, and will have to move up three weight divisions and 21lbs from there if he is to face Canelo.

One man who fought both and moved up two divisions to take on Canelo was former super-lightweight world champion, Amir Khan.

Khan faced Canelo for the WBC middleweight title in 2016 and, after a promising start, was knocked out cold by the naturally bigger man in the sixth round.

Speaking to Fastest Payout Online Casinos about a potential fight between the two pound-for-pound stars, Khan warned ‘Bud’ that he was never the same after fighting Canelo.

“It’s a very dangerous fight for Crawford, you’re only one punch away from getting hurt, Canelo’s power is always going to be there. Crawford has earned good money, he has a beautiful family, why risk it? You’re only one punch away from getting hurt, and he doesn’t really need the money or the fame. He’s pound for pound the best fighter in the world.

I was never the same fighter again facing Canelo. You can get knocked down, fine, you can get back up again, but the knockout Canelo gave me, it probably took five years off my life.

I was at the peak of my career and never came back as the same fighter again. I wasn’t gun shy or scared, but that one shot, it wasn’t good for the body or the mind. And it changed my opponent’s strategy for fighting me, they all started to try to land that one big shot.”

Khan went on to challenge Crawford for his WBO welterweight title in 2019 but suffered the same fate once again, losing the fight by sixth round stoppage.

Crawford is back in the ring on August 3 when he moves one weight class up to challenge Israil Madrimov for his WBA super-welterweight title.

He’s chasing greatness, so why not? Spence believes Crawford has what it takes to defeat Canelo

Errol Spence Jr. has been out of the limelight after falling Terence Crawford for the undisputed welterweight title in what was a lopsided fight.

However, he resurfaced over the weekend as a promoter rather than a fighter. That’s because he was backing Frank Martin, who came up short in his fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis after suffering an eighth-round knockout loss.

However, Spence was an open book in the build-up to the right, answering questions about Crawford and whether he thinks he would stand a chance against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

“If Crawford wants to challenge himself to be great, let him try to be great,” Spence said.

“I’m with it. I’d be going for Bud if he fights Canelo. I don’t know if he’d win or lose, but if anybody can pull it off, he can pull it off. He’s chasing greatness, so why not?

“Canelo came up to 175 and fought [Sergey] Kovalev and the other guy [Dmitrii Bivol], too. If he can do it, and he started at 147, why can’t Crawford do it?”

Crawford keen to fight Canelo

While Crawford is open to fighting Alvarez, the same can’t be said about Canelo, who seems to have changed his mind after previously stating he would be.

Nevertheless, Turki Alalshikh is reportedly keen to get the two men into the ring.

Crawford is set to make his 154-pound but against WBA titleholder Israil Madrimov on August 3, a division Spence is also moving into.

Spence will face super-welterweight titleholder Sebastian Fundora in either October or November.

Spence with lots to think about

While Spence is set to get back into the ring, it appears he has a lot to think about outside of it as well.

He and his long-time trainer Derrick James are suing each other, and the 34-year-old also hinted that retirement may be near.

“I ain’t firm on it, but I can go out the door anytime,” said Spence.

“Survive Two Rounds And He Wins” Derek Chisora Predicts Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois

Anthony Joshua boxes in Wembley Stadium once more this September and his opponent looks likely to be 26-year-old Daniel Dubois.

The Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time world champion is on a run of four victories since losing his unified titles to Oleksandr Usyk, who now holds all four belts after also beating Tyson Fury.

Joshua may be given a lifeline in the form of the IBF strap, which may go vacant given Usyk won’t be facing mandatory challenger Dubois since he has a rematch with Fury.

That makes an ‘AJ’-‘DDD’ bout for the belt a potential.

Speaking to Boxing King Media, heavyweight stalwart Derek Chisora gave his opinion on the fight, speaking as fighter who is both friends with Joshua and backed by his company, 258 Management.

“The problem right now with Daniel is he going so much confidence by stopping Jarrell Miller, stopping Hrgovic, so he’s gonna go in the with so much confidence, arrive at Wembley with so much confidence.

What we have to do at 258 is shut his confidence down in the first two rounds. We can’t warm up with him and try and do anything, we have to just close his confidence down quick because if he gets momentum he’ll win the fight.”

Joshua and team have a press conference scheduled for June 26 to confirm and officially announce the Wembley show. Whilst Dubois is a clear frontrunner to fill the opposite corner, promoter Eddie Hearn hasn’t ruled out the likes of Zhilei Zhang or Joseph Parker.

Parker: I deserve rematch No request to IBF to sanction Daniel Dubois world title fight

The IBF has confirmed to Sky Sports that it has not received a request to sanction Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois as an IBF world heavyweight title fight; Former WBO champion Joseph Parker believes he deserves an AJ rematch after his wins over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua has revealed that he is close to confirming the opponent for his upcoming bout.

Joshua, who has boxed once so far in 2024 when he knocked out former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, said: “Nearly finished my negotiations for my next fight. Feeling motivated.”

It has been widely speculated that fellow Briton Daniel Dubois could be in the frame to fight Joshua.

Dubois stopped Filip Hrgovic at the start of this month to win an interim title from the IBF.

But the IBF confirmed to Sky Sports that it has not received a request to sanction Joshua vs Dubois as an IBF world heavyweight title fight.

There are other contenders also vying to take on Anthony Joshua. Zhilei Zhang, who defeated Deontay Wilder on the same bill as Dubois’ victory over Hrgovic, would relish boxing AJ. He lost to the Watford man at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Another fighter though gunning for a rematch with Joshua is Joseph Parker, who will be making an announcement on Wednesday.

Former WBO champion Parker lost his title to Joshua in 2018. But the New Zealander has been in excellent form recently, beating both Wilder and Zhang.

Parker told Sky Sports: “I’ve been boxing 11 to 12 years and I’ve found what works for me, the formula I’ve got, Andy Lee head trainer, George Lockhart and the work that we’ve been doing together. It’s been a grind ever since we’ve linked up the three of us. But everything is working very well and whatever we’re doing we want to keep it up.”

He thinks he now deserves a second bout with Joshua.

“There’s a lot of people that want to fight Anthony Joshua. I feel like with what I’ve done I can be in a position to fight him,” he said.

But he added: “To be honest, it’s not really about what I want and what he wants. It’s what everyone else wants and a lot of fights are happening in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk and Fury are due to fight in December. If titles do become vacant, Parker thinks he ought to be in the fame to fight for a world championship this year.

“I hope so,” he said. “With the belts all being [held by the] undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, there’s a rematch clause in place, but again these things may or may not happen.

“You never know how things are going to unfold,” he continued. “So we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. But you’ve got Anthony Joshua… I let whatever happens happen and whatever fights they lock, they lock in and I’m ready for whoever.”
