Eddie Hearn would like everyone involved with the upcoming crossover fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou to be more forthright about their intentions.

Promoter Frank Warren apparently doesn’t buy the logic being peddled by detractors regarding what he is assured will be a landmark financial event in boxing.

Anthony Joshua apparently believes boxing culture is suffering from fighters’ inactivity. What’s more, the former heavyweight titlist from London had no qualms pointing the finger squarely at himself.

Tyson Fury needs to be mindful of where his fortune comes from, says the promoter of unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Alexander Krassyuk was not shy about criticizing Fury earlier this week at a press conference to announce Usyk’s title defense against Daniel Dubois on Aug. 26 in Poland.

The unified WBC, WBO, IBF 175-pound champion from Russia recently downplayed his own role in the achievements he has thus far garnered in professional boxing, attributing them to “luck.” With a 19-0 record, Beterbiev has the added distinction of having knocked out every fighter he has ever faced. In January, he rubbed out a game Anthony Yarde in eight rounds at Wembley Arena in London.

Dmitry Bivol wants to make a stand in his own weight class before hopping to other ones. In that way, the light heavyweight titlist from Russia differs from one Canelo Alvarez. In a recent interview, Bivol revealed that he does not share the same urgency as Alvarez when it comes to tackling new
