Floyd Mayweather Jr., Anthony Joshua Video Footage - Last month, Britain's Anthony Joshua defeated veteran Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in a world heavyweight title fight epic in front of 90,000 people at Wembley, taking victory on an 11th round stoppage.
London, UK - Back when Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) retired in September of 2015, there were plenty of fans who were asking him to face IBF, WBA, WBC, IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). Golovkin was very willing to get on board with that fight, and even offered to squeeze down to the junior middleweight limit of 154 or even 154.5-pounds in order to stake his middleweight belts. Mayweather has already captured titles at 130, 135, 140, 147 and 154.

Abel Sanchez, trainer for IBF, IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, expects a complete mismatch if a deal is finalized for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to face UFC superstar Conor McGregor in a cross-sports boxing match.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. still doesn’t want to “rush” the unbeaten IBF super featherweight champion into a showdown with the best boxer in their division. The 22-year-old Davis was asked after his third-round technical knockout of Liam Walsh on Saturday night in London what he thinks about boxing another talented southpaw, Vasyl Lomachenko.
The long-rumored, much-anticipated but never-quite-done fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather might be a little closer to reality. McGregor, the biggest star in mixed martial arts, signed a contract with the UFC last week for his side of the cross-sports boxing match.
Floyd Mayweather Jr said a fight against UFC champion Conor McGregor is "90 percent" likely -- if he boxes again. The retired undefeated five-weight world champion, who has not boxed since September 2015, admits he wants to fight Irishman McGregor rather than any boxer in a clash that would attract global interest and could set new records for pay-per-view revenue.
Mayweather, Davis Post Fight Presser Video - Going on the road can be tough in boxing. Sometimes the best thing to do is get it over with quickly. 22-year old IBF super featherweight titlist Gerona Davis (18-0, 17 KO), 130, of Baltimore, Maryland, did just that on Saturday in the Copper Box Arena in London, England, dominating and stopping 30-year old challenger Liam Walsh (21-1, 14 KO), 130, of Cromer, Norfolk, United Kingdom, for a third round stoppage win. The referee was Michael Alexander.

Former two division champion and Showtime Boxing expert analyst Paulie Malaignaggi views Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor as "a joke." He gives McGregor no chance of beating Mayweather in a boxing match. That said, Malignaggi believes the potential fight would do tremendous business on pay-per-view and feels the fight would have a strong chance to crack the PPV buyrate record set in 2015 by Mayweather's mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao - which generated 4.6 million purchases.
