Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has provided a key update on the future of former world champion Anthony Joshua, suggesting that he will likely continue working with trainer Ben Davison despite facing recent criticism. As Joshua looks to rebuild his career, he must make crucial decisions about strengthening his technical team ahead of his next fight.

Since late 2023, Joshua has partnered with Davison after short stints with Robert García and Derrick James. Their collaboration started off strong, with Joshua securing impressive victories over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in their first two outings together. These wins heightened expectations for a potential comeback from the British heavyweight.

However, Joshua's recent defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley has cast a shadow over his prospects. Despite being the favorite, Joshua suffered a knockdown in the first round and fell again in the subsequent rounds, leading to a loss. This performance raised doubts about his corner's effectiveness, with many experts criticizing the team for a lack of crucial guidance during key moments.

Despite the criticisms, Hearn remains optimistic about Davison's role. In an interview with @FightHubTV, the promoter expressed confidence in Joshua's physical condition and training, stating, “He’s happy with his training camp. In my opinion, there won’t be any changes.”

Joshua's future in boxing remains uncertain, with a return expected in 2025. While potential opponents like Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury have been mentioned, no confirmations have been made. Hearn believes Davison will continue to be an essential figure in Joshua's camp as he charts his way back to the top.

Teofimo Lopez has been making a lot of headlines at the moment.

He is currently engaged in a war of words online with Terence Crawford.

The two boxers have been trading words across social media as their beef continues to escalate.

But it’s not just other boxers that Lopez is currently facing issues with.

It seems that the current WBO and The Ring light welterweight champion is also having issues with his promoters.

Teofimo Lopez is currently signed to Top Rank Boxing.

Top Rank Boxing are one of the biggest agencies in the world with their roster including the likes of Naoya Inoue and Vasiliy Lomachenko.

They’ve also promoted some of the biggest names in the history of the sport including Muhammad Ali, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many more besides.

Bob Arum has certainly built a reputation as one of the best in the business over a number of decades.

That doesn’t mean that every boxer is happy with their affiliation to the organisation.Eddie Hearn replies to Oscar De La Hoya rant

And it seems that Lopez is one of them.

According to reports online, Teofimo Lopez reportedly filed a lawsuit against Top Rank Boxing to get out of his contract with his promoters.

It is widely believed that the New Yorker has one fight left on his contract.

But he seems to want to get out early.

Twitter user @izdatyofaceee has held a Twitter / X spaces recording where it’s claimed that Lopez is looking to secure his freedom from Top Rank Boxing.

Getting legal is definitely an interesting way to go about things for Lopez.

If that’s the route that he decides to follow, it may mean that he’ll be out of commission for a while from the ring.

With Teofimo Lopez previously asking for fights against the likes of Crawford and Gervonta Davis, fight fans will be keen to see how this current situation resolves itself.Teofimo Lopez has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Top Rank Boxing to secure his freedom. Is this justified? How long will Teo be on the shelf?

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is known for delivering some devastating knockouts throughout his career, with highlights including his brutal KO of James Kirkland in 2015 and stoppage wins over Sergey Kovalev and Amir Khan. However, one of his fiercest rivals, former unified world champion Gennady Golovkin, has now questioned the true strength of Canelo's power.

Canelo and Golovkin have met three times in the ring, with the first fight ending in a controversial draw and Alvarez narrowly edging the next two. A memorable moment in their first bout came in round nine when Alvarez landed a massive right hand flush on Golovkin, yet ‘GGG’ has downplayed its impact.

Speaking to DAZN, Golovkin said, “I remember that punch, I let it get through. It wasn’t hard; it felt kind of like a slap or a sliding punch. Well, it didn’t do too much.”

While Canelo’s power has brought him success in the past, his recent victories, including his unanimous decision over Edgar Berlanga in September, have lacked the knockout punch fans have come to expect. Canelo is set to return to the ring in May 2025, with potential opponents including Dmitry Bivol and Terence Crawford, while Golovkin remains undecided on his future in the sport.

Lennox Lewis has revealed his desire to fight Jake Paul next, following Mike Tyson's potential bout with the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Speaking to Fox 29 Philippines and The Guardian, Lewis expressed his confidence in Tyson’s ability to defeat Paul, emphasizing that Paul “is not a true fighter.”

"I hope that Tyson saves a little bit of Jake Paul for me," Lewis remarked, when asked if he would consider a match against Paul. "I'd 100 percent consider it."

Lewis, a boxing legend and former heavyweight champion, also stated that he doesn’t believe Tyson is too old to win.

"Mike Tyson's gonna win. Mike Tyson's not that old. Don't take him too softly. We're one year apart. You can fight somebody like that and do well because the person you're fighting is not a true fighter," Lewis said.

As both Tyson and Lewis near their 60s, the potential matchups with Jake Paul are bound to draw major attention in the world of boxing.

The war of words between Terence Crawford and Teofimo Lopez is heating up. The tension escalated quickly after Lopez made disparaging comments about Crawford and Gervonta Davis, referring to them as "monkeys" during an online interview. This inflammatory remark sparked outrage, drawing parallels to xenophobic language and triggering a strong backlash.

In response, Terence Crawford didn’t hold back, dismissing Lopez as “a little kid screaming for attention.” It’s clear that there’s no love lost between these two fighters.

On Thursday evening, Lopez took to social media, stating, “Boxing is a sport! Please stop trying to make the business more important than us fighting for the best against the best.” This comment reflects Lopez's desire for meaningful matchups rather than getting caught up in promotional politics.

Crawford quickly fired back on Twitter/X, using colorful language to take a jab at Lopez. “@TeofimoLopez looks like you’re the one in a f***ed up situation with Top Rank! You want to fight? What’s you contracted to fight for?” This reference to Top Rank—Lopez’s current promotional company—implies that Crawford believes Lopez’s contract may be holding him back from bigger fights.

Crawford's tweet included a laughing emoji, and his questions were direct: “Do you want to fight?” The clarity of his challenge indicates a growing intensity between the two.

Teofimo Lopez has been vocal about wanting to fight Crawford, Gervonta Davis, or Devin Haney, especially as he looks to secure a significant payday. With Crawford’s attention firmly on him, it appears that the groundwork for a potential collision in the ring is being laid.

One thing is certain: the animosity is palpable, and the boxing world is watching closely as this rivalry develops.

When Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois step into the ring again, there will likely be even more anticipation than there was for their first fight. Dubois’s dominant performance, which resulted in a knockout of AJ, sent shockwaves through the boxing world. Now, the pressing question on everyone's mind is: what’s next for Joshua?

From his camp, it's clear that a rematch with Daniel Dubois is Joshua's top priority. But what could that rematch look like?

Promoter Eddie Hearn has provided some insight into the situation. In a recent interview with FightHubTV, Hearn revealed that there is a clause in the contract for a rematch scheduled for February. Despite speculation about Joshua potentially facing the loser of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury rematch, it appears AJ is eager to secure another fight sooner rather than later.

The initial match between Joshua and Dubois took place at Wembley Stadium in London, drawing a record-breaking 96,000 fans and making history for UK boxing attendance. However, it seems the rematch may not occur in London. When asked about the location, Hearn suggested it’s more likely to be part of the Riyadh Season, set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh Season runs from October to the end of February or early March, meaning the rematch would be staged in Saudi Arabia rather than England. Hearn also mentioned that he is currently awaiting AJ’s decision on his next steps. It’s possible that more details will emerge once Joshua's suspension from boxing is lifted.

With all signs indicating that Joshua is keen to rematch Dubois and rectify the mistakes from their first encounter, Saudi Arabia appears poised for a blockbuster showdown in February 2025.

Sky Sports have had a long standing relationship with boxing.

From the mid 90s, the television broadcaster has been projecting boxing to the UK audience.

Famously, Sky Sports held the first ever pay-per-view event in the UK.

It was the Mike Tyson vs Frank Bruno fight and they’ve never looked back since.

With such support and interest in the sport, it’s no surprise that boxing fans still makes up such a large contingent of their audience.

So bringing boxers onto their platform only makes sense.

However, getting athletes on a live microphone doesn’t always go well.

And that just so happens to have been the case today.

Jai Opetaia is set to meet Jack Massey in Saudi Arabia this month and was on Sky Sports to talk about the fight.Espinoza vs. Ramírez rematch: purse bids to be held on Friday

The 29-year-old Opetaia, the current Ring Magazine and lIBF lineal cruiserweight titles holder, went a bit too far and was instantly admonished by the presenter.

“I used to think that mindset, once I win a world title it’s going to fix all my problems,” Opetaia said.

“But unfortunately I’ve had a few run-ins with some dirty promoters and things haven’t always worked to plan.

“I won a world title and the next day I woke up the same. You can’t eat f***ing gold belts.”

“The broadcasting rules are slightly different here, you can’t swear,” the Sky Sports presenter said while interrupting Opetaia. “Apologies.”

Australian Opetaia brushed the riposte off and continued talking about the fight.

His opponent, Jack Massey, is the current European and Commonwealth cruiserweight champion and they’ll be facing off on the undercard for the Dimitri Bivol v Artur Beterbiev event in Saudi Arabia next week.

If Jai Opetaia is just as aggressive in the ring as he was on the mic, then he’s got a chance to emerge the victor.

Tyson Fury has been in the boxing game a long time.

From an amateur career that stated in the mid 2000s to making his professional debut at age 20, the Gypsy King has met a lot of opponents in time.

Just at a professional level, he’s had a total of 36 fights with only one defeat.

That came against Oleksandr Usyk in his last bout.

Ukrainian Usyk beat Fury in a unanimous decision and became undisputed heavyweight champion in the process.

Attention has now turned to their rematch that is due to take place in December.

Tyson Fury has now

Despite being beaten by only one boxer in his career, Fury didn’t name Usyk as his toughest opponent.

Instead, that accolade went to the only other boxer that Fury has not beat.

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury controversially drew their first bout together in 2018.

After that, there were two more fights between the pair.

The second fight ended in a TKO victory for Fury, with the third ending in knockout for Fury as well.

“I’m gonna have to say Wilder,” Fury said in an interview in response to who his toughest opponent has been.

The video was part of the promotion of new boxing video game Undisputed.Eddie Hearn replies to Oscar De La Hoya rant

“When I fought Wilder he was in his prime, he was the man to beat and he was a dynamite puncher.

“One mistake and it’s over in any round, round one or round 12. From maybe 2007, me and Wilder had a pact together.

“We met in Sheffield at one of the boxing fights on Channel 5 and we always said that we’ll talk up a good fight and we’ll have a good fight for the championship down the line.

“He was always my target, but I used to look at him and think, ‘wow’.

“I’d see him hit people and their legs would be shaking, out cold on the floor.

“They’re terrifying knockouts. The highlight reel knockouts that he has are up there with anybody’s, if not the best.

“Going in there with him I never once thought about going to sleep or getting hit by them punches, I just thought I’ll box and do what I got to do. I always do.

“I never really think, ‘well I’ll keep my hands up for this one’.

“My hands have been down behind my back for the majority of my career and they will continue to be there.

“Unfortunately, that’s just the way I am and if I’m going to get punched in the face then so be it. I’ve had plenty in the face before.”

Deontay Wilder has garnered a reputation of being one of the hardest punching fighters in the game.

But it’s still a shock to see Tyson Fury name him as more of a difficult opponent than Oleksandr Usyk.

When the pair meet again in December, it will be interesting to see if Usyk puts on a performance that changes Fury’s mind on the matter.

Tyson Fury has set his sights firmly on Oleksandr Usyk, aiming to settle unfinished business after suffering his first professional defeat in their May 2024 clash. That fight crowned Usyk as the division’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, with the Ukrainian taking a split decision win, largely thanks to a dominant ninth round.

Despite the loss, Fury is confident heading into the rematch and told Undisputed that he believes he did enough to win the first bout. He’s now embracing the mindset of a challenger, which he says fuels his drive to reclaim the titles.

“For the first time in years, I’m going in there as a challenger, not a champion,” Fury said. “I’ve got a goal again, and it’s giving me that fire I needed.”

Fury also predicted a trilogy fight with Usyk, drawing parallels to legendary rivalries like Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tunney. He believes that a third showdown is inevitable after he secures victory in the rematch.

“I think this will be one of the great trilogies, me and Usyk. One each, and then the trilogy,” Fury stated.

Fury has also left the door open to future bouts with other heavyweight contenders, including Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, with both fighters eyeing their own shot at the undisputed crown.

Legendary heavyweight George Foreman, a two-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist, is widely regarded as one of the best boxers in history. Though he faced many iconic opponents, his 1974 bout against Muhammad Ali—known as ‘The Rumble in the Jungle’—remains his most famous.

In that fight, Ali's famous rope-a-dope strategy led him to an eighth-round stoppage, securing the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles and cementing his legacy as 'The Greatest.' Despite Ali’s legendary status, Foreman named someone else as the greatest boxer of all time during an appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

“They ask me who is the best boxer of all time—Joe Louis,” Foreman declared.

Louis, known as the ‘Brown Bomber,’ dominated the ring from 1934 to 1951, amassing a record of 66 wins (52 by knockout) and just 3 losses. As heavyweight champion from 1937 to 1949, Louis defended his title an astounding 25 times.

While Foreman praised Louis’s boxing prowess, he also recognized Ali’s unparalleled influence outside the ring.

“But I tell you, the best man to ever do anything was Muhammad Ali,” Foreman added, acknowledging Ali’s activism and refusal to be drafted into the military during the Vietnam War.

In addition to Ali and Louis, Foreman mentioned another opponent from his career whom he believes surpassed Ali’s skill in the ring, though he did not disclose the name.

UFC icon Nate Diaz has revealed who he wants to face in his next fight. Despite mixed results in his first two boxing matches, Diaz is aiming to fight a champion. After losing his boxing debut to Jake Paul and securing a majority decision win over fellow MMA star Jorge Masvidal in July, the 39-year-old fighter now has his sights set on four-division boxing champion Terence Crawford.

In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Diaz made his intentions clear for the future. “I’ll box Crawford and fight Conor at 168 lfg,” he wrote alongside a photo showcasing his slim physique.

The statement quickly caught the attention of boxing and MMA fans, sparking speculation about a possible showdown with Terence Crawford.

Crawford, considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, has previously been linked to cross-discipline fights. Conor McGregor, another UFC star, has already shown interest in fighting Crawford. In fact, McGregor offered him a two-fight deal, one in boxing and the other in MMA, but Crawford initially turned down the proposal. However, recent signs suggest he may reconsider, especially after McGregor’s nine-figure offer.Nate Diaz has not hidden his desire for a trilogy with Conor McGregor, his historic rival in the UFC.

The two fighters faced each other twice in 2016 in memorable bouts. Diaz won the first meeting by submitting McGregor, but the Irishman avenged the loss in the second fight, taking a close decision victory. Their rivalry remains alive, and Diaz doesn’t rule out a third match, this time in the MMA octagon.

As for Crawford, while there’s no history between him and Diaz, the former UFC star’s post suggests he’s ready to take on one of the most dominant champions in boxing today.Espinoza vs. Ramírez rematch: purse bids to be held on Friday

For now, there’s no official confirmation of the potential bout, but rumors of these two big fights are already circulating. Known for his fighting spirit, Diaz doesn’t seem afraid to aim high, regardless of the sport.

Additionally, a potential rematch with McGregor in MMA would be explosive for fans.

The rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight title is fast approaching. The second bout between these two boxing titans will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a recent interview with @PlayUndisputed, Fury stated that this time he will knock out the Ukrainian boxer.

“There’s no secret – I’m going in there to knock him out because I don’t think I’m gonna get a decision no matter what I do. So I have to take it out of the judges’ hands. I believe I have to get him out of there,” Fury affirmed.

Regardless of the outcome of this second match between both fighters, Tyson Fury expressed interest in a trilogy with Usyk. He confidently stated that he will win the rematch, and the ideal circumstances for a third fight would be if they are tied 1 to 1.

“I believe it’ll be one of the great trilogies, me and Usyk. I believe when I beat him, I’ll definitely do a trilogy with him, 100%. One each and we’ll do a trilogy,” Fury said.

On the other hand, the British boxer confirmed that he will not be making any changes to his Corner Team. Notably, Fury expressed confidence in the team that supports him, his preparation, and training. He also mentioned that he knows the key role he must play in his bout against Usyk.The team that will accompany Tyson Fury in his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk includes SugarHill Steward, Andy Lee, and his father, John Fury.

“People can say, ‘Oh, I want to change trainers or I blame it on my conditioning coach or my cook.’ I’m not interested in all that, same team, same everything. I know what I’ve got to do,” Fury concluded.

After Oscar De La Hoya’s recent speech, Eddie Hearn described his statements as “objectively incoherent” amid their growing public dispute. De La Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has repeatedly criticized Hearn on his show “Clapback Thursday,” mocking the recent losses of the British promoter’s fighters, including Anthony Joshua’s defeat against Daniel Dubois.

During his latest appearance, De La Hoya claimed that 14 of Hearn’s fighters had lost in 2024, accusing him of being a poor promoter and a “pathological liar.” He also highlighted losses by fighters such as Sandy Ryan, AJ, and Edgar Berlanga, while mentioning injuries to Shakur Stevenson.

“You must be the biggest pathological liar on the planet to try and convince us you’re good at your job. F***ing train wreck… Canelo dumped you because you’re incompetent and incapable of doing your job,” De La Hoya said.

A large part of the feud seems to stem from Canelo Álvarez’s departure from Golden Boy to Matchroom. De La Hoya defended his work with the Mexican fighter, claiming he helped build his career in the U.S. and accused Hearn of being incompetent.

Wembley Stadium, one of the UK’s most iconic venues, would be the ideal setting for this showdown between two of the best British boxers of the modern era. Fury is convinced the fight could attract a massive crowd, filling every available seat.

“Joshua knows he’s getting it. Even if we’re 50 years old he’s got to fight me. There’s no escaping it, he cannot escape me. Even if we are 50, we’re still gonna sell out Wembley,” Fury said.Tyson Fury’s expectations for his rematch against Usyk

Recently, it was revealed that 33-year-old boxer Anthony Yarde will return to the ring on October 19 at the Copper Box Arena in London. The fight will be promoted by Boxxer, marking his return after more than eight months of inactivity. Yarde stopped Marko Nikolic in three rounds in February and has remained out of action since then.

It’s important to mention that expectations were for his next fight to be against Joshua Buatsi. However, a dispute with Queensberry Promotions, the company that has managed his career from the beginning, changed the plans. Frank Warren, leader of Queensberry, even threatened legal action against Yarde. Nonetheless, Yarde’s inclusion in Boxxer’s roster rekindles hopes for a potential fight with Buatsi. Both fighters could meet if Yarde wins in the undercard of the Adam Azim-Ohara Davies fight.Anthony Yarde himself expressed his excitement about his return:

“On October 19, I’m back in my home city and I can’t wait,” said Yarde.

Although his opponent has not yet been announced, Yarde is eager to fight in a place he considers special.

“The Copper Box Arena is a special venue for me. It’s near where I grew up and I’ve had some great nights there. I’ve been training hard and waiting to get back in the ring to deliver another explosive knockout performance,” said Yarde.

Following Yarde’s return announcement, Boxxer representative Ben Shalom praised the boxer’s addition to the event’s lineup. Shalom also highlighted that fans can expect an incredible atmosphere and a night full of action at the Copper Box Arena.

It’s important to note that the card includes other notable fights, such as the light heavyweight clash between Dan Azeez and Lewis Edmondson. Additionally, Michael McKinson will face Tulani Mbenge in a welterweight bout, Jeamie TKV will meet Franklin Ignatius in a heavyweight fight, and Francesca Hennessy will fight in a bantamweight bout.Shakur Stevenson comments on a possible fight against Ryan García

The situation with Buatsi also remains significant. Buatsi recently defeated Willy Hutchinson by split decision at Wembley Stadium on September 21. This victory keeps him on track to fight the winner of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol bout for the undisputed title on October 12.

With Anthony Yarde’s return to the ring and a potential fight with Buatsi on the horizon, the upcoming months promise to be exciting for boxing fans in the UK.𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣 🦁🗣️

Shakur Stevenson has commented on a possible fight against Ryan García. The statements arise after recent comments from Bernard Hopkins. During the presentation of “Latino Night,” Hopkins suggested a matchup between the two boxers. He proposed that the fight take place at a catchweight between 135 and 143 pounds.

Although there are no confirmations yet, interest in this bout is growing among fans. Stevenson addressed the topic on his social media. On his X account, he wrote:

“I’m kinda scheduled to beat his other fighter in February I would love that fight too tho 😂.”It is important to note that both Shakur Stevenson and Ryan García are currently inactive.

Stevenson suffered a hand injury in early September. The injury occurred while he was preparing for his fight against Joe Cordina. He is expected to return to the ring in early 2025. However, his first opponent will be William ‘Camarón’ Zepeda.

On the other hand, García is facing a different situation. The Californian was suspended for a year after testing positive for Ostarine. This substance is banned and enhances performance. The result of his fight with Devin Haney, held in April, was changed to a no contest. Despite this, García had displayed a dominant performance before the suspension.

Both boxers are projecting their return for the first half of 2025. This opens up the possibility of a fight between them materializing. However, their plans for a comeback are different.

The purse bid for the rematch between Rafael Espinoza and Robeisy Ramírez will take place on Friday, October 11, 2024. This event will determine the rights to organize the rematch for the WBO featherweight title. The auction will begin at 11:00 a.m., Atlantic Standard Time, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The World Boxing Organization (WBO) confirmed that the minimum bid is $150,000.

Espinoza surprised the boxing world last December by defeating Ramírez. In that bout, both boxers were knocked down, but Espinoza ultimately prevailed. This victory was unexpected, as Espinoza was a relatively unknown contender at the time. With a record of 25-0, including 21 knockouts, Espinoza has proven his power in the ring. His height of 1.85 meters also makes him a challenging opponent for anyone in the division.Since then, Espinoza has successfully defended his title. In his most recent fight earlier this year, he knocked out Sergio Chirino in the fourth round. His undefeated streak and aggressive style have positioned him as one of the most feared champions.

On the other hand, former Cuban champion Robeisy Ramírez has not been idle. Ramírez has a record of 14 wins and 2 losses, with 9 knockouts. Before losing his title to Espinoza, he made a successful defense of it. After his defeat, he returned to the ring with a knockout victory over Brandon León Benítez. Ramírez requested a rematch, eager to regain his title.

WBO President Paco Valcárcel will oversee the auction event. This rematch is highly anticipated by fans, as their first encounter left many shocked. Competitive bids are expected to organize the fight.

Both boxers are eager to return to the ring and prove who the true champion is. The date of the rematch will be determined once the winning promoter is announced.
