JOHNNY FISHER blasted his way to his first professional title by seeing off ‘Dirty’ Harry Armstrong after a seven-round slugfest at the o2 Arena.

Joe Joyce believes late replacement Robert Helenius is more than capable of providing Anthony Joshua a hard night's work. Two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua is an overwhelming favorite to beat Helenius, who stepped in at seven days’ notice following the cancellation of AJ’s proposed clash with Dillian Whyte.

Robert Helenius says the only performance-enhancing substance he needs in his system is his ‘Viking blood’. The ‘Nordic Nightmare’ only boxed on Saturday but secured an unlikely clash with Anthony Joshua after Dillian Whyte returned an adverse analytical finding in a VADA test.

Anthony Joshua has declared there is a ‘doping problem’ in boxing in the wake of his cancelled fight with Dillian Whyte. The two-time world heavyweight champion was nearly left without a fight when Whyte returned an adverse analytical finding in a VADA test, forcing the cancellation of their encounter, which was set for Saturday.

Anthony Joshua believes Tyson Fury’s decision to face Francis Ngannou is ‘massively frustrating’ for the heavyweight division - and says his British rival should have waited until he was no longer WBC champion to do it.

Jake Paul insists he is still more than capable of becoming world champion. The 26-year-old’s reign of terror against fellow Youtubers, ageing basketball players and retired mixed martial artists ended in February when he was beaten by Tommy Fury over eight rounds in Saudi Arabia.

DURING the week that followed the crushing first defeat of Gary Cully’s career, the Irishman woke up every morning believing his beating at the hands of Jose Felix was nothing but a nightmare.

LIAM DAVIES roared to the finest win of his career, blowing away Jason Cunningham inside a round in his hometown of Telford. Davies had promised a career-best performance and he was in a rush to prove himself right as he caught vastly experienced Cunningham cold and applied a finish after just 2:36 of the first.

MOSES ITAUMA racked up the fourth win of his career with a one-sided points win over Kevin Espindola in Telford. Itauma, 18, won 60-54 on the referee’s scorecard but it is now two fights in a row without a stoppage as he was unable to really hurt the Argentinean visitor at any point over these six rounds.

MOSES ITAUMA has revealed his most difficult spars have been against Daniel Dubois - not ‘plodders’ Anthony Joshua or Joe Joyce.
