Anthony Joshua: record, next fight and profile →
JOE JOYCE VISITED the scene of Sunday's Italian Job on Wednesday and stated his intention to land the knockout finish the gallant England team failed to apply when he takes on Carlos Takam in a heavyweight shootout on July 24.
CARLOS TAKAM is gunning for Anthony Joshua once he has sorted out Joe Joyce at SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday July 24, live on BT Sport. The French powerhouse stepped in at just over one week’s notice to challenge AJ for his WBA, IBO and IBF World Heavyweight titles in October 2017.
Eddie Hearn, promoter for unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, says an undisputed fight with Tyson Fury would likely take place in early 2022.
Alex Krassyuk, promoter for Oleksandr Usyk, says the mandatory fight with Anthony Joshua is close to being finalized - with "three small issues" remaining. Joshua is slated to defend the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight titles against Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight king, on September 25.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has rejected the suggestion that he's avoiding a potential full division unification with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO champion Anthony Joshua.
Eddie Hearn, promoter for IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, will be keeping a very close eye on this month's trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Fury will defend the WBC title against Wilder on July 24, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew gives full credit to Deontay Wilder for his feared punching power - but he also feels the dangerous boxer is very unorganized inside the ring. Back in February of 2020, Wilder suffered his first career defeat when he was stopped in seven rounds by Tyson Fury.
Frank Warren, promoter for undefeated heavyweight contender Joe Joyce, says his boxer will be keeping a very close eye on the upcoming mandatory fight between IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO champion Anthony Joshua and challenger Oleksandr Usyk. The fight is being positioned to take place on September 25 in the UK.
Former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew is very familiar with the abilities of Oleksandr Usyk. In the final fight of his pro career in 2018, Bellew was brutally knocked out by Usyk. Usyk unified the entire cruiserweight division, and then officially moved up to heavyweight in 2019.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, believes a potential unification with IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO champion Anthony Joshua could happen in the UK.
