Tyson Fury Rematch Update: Jake Paul slid into Tyson Fury’s direct messages recently to attempt to make a rematch with his brother Tommy.

Tyson Fury, The former Love Island star remains the only man to have beaten Paul during a fledgling 11-1 professional boxing career.

Both men squared off in February 2023, with Tommy getting his hand raised via split decision despite being dropped by a stiff jab in the eighth and final round.

Since then, Paul has won five fights on the bounce and is set to square off against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28 in Anaheim.

Tyson Fury has been far less active, with two fights in the same timespan after undergoing surgery on a recurring hand injury.

He returned to the ring for the first time in almost two years to beat 5-2 Bosnian pro Kenan Hanjalic earlier this month and called out Paul in the immediate aftermath.

“Jake Paul’s a b**** and he’s running scared,” he bellowed. “Jake, the hand’s fixed now, baby. The hand’s fixed.

“I fought a guy in here tonight who’s had over 100 amateur fights and is experienced as hell, and he’s as tough as teak.

“If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I’ll knock you spark out.”

‘I’ve Got More in 5 Fights’ A UFC icon celebrated a big win, but didn’t hold back when firing at Claressa Shields online

Claressa Shields has carved out a legendary path in the world of boxing. Undefeated with a 16-0 record, she’s a multi-division world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist. Despite her dominance in the ring, she’s often drawn criticism for her knockout ratio—just three of her sixteen wins have come by stoppage. And now, one UFC icon who fought last night had some choice words about that—sparking a fresh round of drama that could shake up the entire combat sports world.

Cris Cyborg, fresh off a first-round TKO win over Precious Harris-McCray at Fight Night 3 in San Jose, took to social media and threw verbal jabs at Claressa Shields. The tweet was blunt: ‘Only 5 boxing fights but I’ve already got more KO’s than @Claressashields’. That post alone made waves—but the context behind it makes it even louder.

Cyborg’s win over Precious Harris-McCray marked the 20th anniversary of her combat sports debut, a milestone few athletes ever reach. The co-main event at the Tech CU Arena saw Cyborg bulldoze her opponent in the opening round, earning her fifth professional boxing victory—and her fourth by knockout.

The rivalry between the two isn’t new. They’ve sparred together in the past and had a public fallout afterward. Their exchanges, often fiery, have largely centered around weight. Cyborg has called for fights at 147 pounds, while Shields has aimed closer to her standard boxing weights of 160–168 lbs. The tension, though rooted in sportsmanship, has become a battle of legacy and leverage.

Whether this latest shot reignites serious talks for a crossover bout or just keeps the feud alive online, one thing is clear: Cyborg isn’t done making noise in the fight game. With both women being marquee names in their respective sports, a matchup between Cyborg and Shields could generate massive buzz and deliver one of the biggest crossover events in recent memory.

No Uturn As Terence Crawford Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If Pacquiao Has Any Chance Of Beating Barrios At 46

Manny Pacquiao is just months away from making his shock return to the sport and Terence Crawford has weighed in on the situation.

The 46-year-old Filipino icon will controversially lock horns with reigning WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday July 19, with Las Vegas set to play host to the return of ‘PacMan’

Pacquiao’s return has shocked fans and pundits alike, especially considering the eight-division world champion has not fought as a professional since he was defeated by former WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas in 2021.

One man who has weighed in on the 46-year-old’s comeback is former undisputed welterweight champion Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford, who has given his answer on whether he believes ‘PacMan’ can defy the odds and reclaim welterweight honours once again.

Speaking in a media scrum, Crawford was asked if he thinks Pacquiao is ‘too old’ to make a comeback to the sport against a young and active champion like Barrios but said he absolutely can’t be written off

“I can’t say if he’s too old or not, you know, if he gets in there and wins then everybody will be saying differently so I don’t put no limit on an all-time-great like Manny Pacquiao.”

Pacquiao’s last victory came in 2019 when he outpointed Keith Thurman to claim the WBA welterweight title, but he would have a 2-year hiatus from the sport before facing Ugas in the summer of 2021. After suffering a unanimous decision defeat, ‘PacMan’ would draw the curtain on his career shortly after.

Barrios has made just one defence of his WBC crown at 147lbs, fighting to a split decision draw against Abel Ramos on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson last November.

British heavyweights Anthony Joshua Perfectly Sums Up Dave Allen’s Brutal Knockout Win Over Johnny Fisher

Anthony Joshua has praised Dave Allen in the wake of his knockout win over Johnny Fisher.

The two British heavyweights met in a necessary rematch after first fighting the ten round distance in December last year. Though Fisher controlled the opening rounds in their initial bout, Allen turned the tide in the fifth with a knockdown and came on strong thereafter, with the Romford man doing well to survive

It was a split decision in favour of Fisher, a highly controversial outcome given most felt Allen had scored one of the biggest wins of his career. In the rematch this weekend, he left no doubt. Though likely down on the cards again, it was the fifth once more in which Allen took advantage of a tiring Fisher to unleash his best shots.

He dropped the younger man once and finished him off with a devastating combination as the bell went, handing Fisher his first loss.

World champion who “I’m Leaning Towards Him” Amir Khan Predicts Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua versus Deontay Wilder is a heavyweight showdown many would like to see, including Amir Khan.

Both of these men are now in the later stages of their careers. Joshua is a former two-time world champion who had plenty of huge nights on his way to becoming a three-belt unified ruler. He beat the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Kubrat Pulev, Dillian Whyte, and although he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr, he avenged the loss six months later

It was soon to be undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk who dethroned him and then beat him again in a rematch across 2021 and 2022, and when Joshua tried to win the IBF belt back against Daniel Dubois last September, he was stopped inside five.

Anthony Joshua, Wilder, meanwhile has lost four of his last five fights – two against Tyson Fury, and one each against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, the latter by stoppage.

Before that, he was a long-time WBC champion with an impressive number of knockouts, and he returns to the ring in June against Tyrrell Herndon in Kansas as he makes one more attempt at getting back to the top level.

In a round of winner stays on with Mail Sport Boxing, Khan was asked to pick between the Brit and the American and sided with his countryman.

“Leaning more towards Joshua, so I think Joshua on that one.”

Right now, a fight between these two seems a way off. It had been hoped that Joshua and Fury would be sharing the ring however ‘The Gypsy King’ retired after his two losses to Usyk, and Joshua is now about to undergo elbow surgery so will be out until later in the year.

Deontay Wilder vs Tyrrell Herndon: Date, UK start time, undercard and how to follow as Bronze Bomber returns to ring

Deontay Wilder is set to return to the boxing ring next month to face Tyrrell Herndon, a year after his shocking defeat to Zhilei Zhang.

The Bronze Bomber established a reputation as one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history during the early part of his career.

However, the last few years of his career have been marked by defeats.

Losses to Tyson Fury are acceptable, but his last two contests have seen him knocked out by Zhang and Joseph Parker.

But at the age of 39, he’s stepping back into the ring as he looks to rebuild his reputation.

His opponent is a bit of a journeyman, having lost five times since his debut in 2014.

But Herndon is on a three-fight win streak, and he has the opportunity to achieve the biggest victory of his life.

Wilder vs Herndon: Date and how to follow

This 12-round heavyweight contest will take place on Friday, June 27.

The main event ring walk is expected on on Saturday, June 28 4am UK time.

It will be held at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas.

It is going to be shown on BLK Prime, and it will be a pay-per-view.

A subscription for BLK Prime starts at $5.99 a month, but you will have to pay on top of that for this bout.

Wilder vs Herndon: What has been said?

As long as Wilder wins, he has plans for some big fights.

One particular fight he has in mind is against Jarrell Miller.

The American duo have exchanged plenty of barbs in the past, and Wilder would love to face him in the ring.

Speaking to Bloody Elbow, he said: “I don’t like him at all. I ain’t gonna say too many things, but this dude has always been a hater. He’s always trying to do things or say stupid shit.

Deontay Wilder

“If that time comes and the money is right for that situation, I would love to put him down.

“Like I told him, h better go get that grave plot paid for by the time I get him because I ain’t playing.”

Anthony Joshua would also like a crack at Wilder, though he admitted his body is struggling at the moment.

He said: “I think a potential fight with Martin Bakole, Agit Kabayel or Deontay Wilder would work.”

Then on his physical state, he said: “My body has been through the works.

“Sooner than later. I’m still training but I’m just kind of rebuilding.

“To be good is not enough in boxing, if you want to be a world champion you’ve got to be great

“Throughout the last year or so, especially my last fight I was good but not great.

“It’s a serious investment” – British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua eyes

“It’s a serious investment” – British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua eyes Watford takeover

British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua is weighing up a potential investment in EFL Championship side Watford FC — the club from his hometown, Soccernet.ng reports.

The former unified heavyweight champion, who was born and raised in Watford and still lives in the area, is reportedly exploring an opportunity to take a financial stake in the club.

At 35, Joshua has already carved out a highly successful boxing career — Olympic gold in 2012 and multiple world titles in the professional ranks — earning an estimated $110 million in the process.

Speaking to Seconds Out, Joshua explained his motivation to invest strategically rather than spend frivolously — and revealed that Watford FC has emerged as a serious option.

“It’s a serious investment” – British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua eyes Watford takeover

“We wanted to move into private equity, venture capital funds,” Joshua told Seconds Out, via TalkSport.

“As you earn, naturally you want to save, so rather than me spending recklessly I’m trying to invest money into certain asset classes — and that [Watford] was an opportunity that presented itself.”

He added: “Nothing’s come of it yet. It’s a serious investment. If it comes off, it’s one that should do well.

“If they went back to the Premier League, then I’d need to get a shop on Market Street because the traffic that would be coming through Watford would be phenomenal.

“I’m not a massive football fan myself, but watching the fans stream down Market Street and into Vicarage Road — those were great scenes. If we don’t do it, then good luck to them anyway because they’re a great team.”

Anthony joshua,Daniel dubois

Watford finished 14th in the 2024/25 Championship campaign, securing safety but falling short of a promotion challenge. The Hornets, who were relegated from the Premier League in 2022, have since been striving to reclaim top-flight status.

The club has had several Nigerian stars in recent years, including Odion Ighalo, William Troost-Ekong and Emmanuel Dennis — a connection that could make Joshua’s involvement even more meaningful for fans.

“His Time Is Done”: British Heavyweight Vows To Beat Anthony Joshua Worse

“His Time Is Done”: British Heavyweight Vows To Beat Anthony Joshua Worse Than Dubois Did

One British heavyweight has claimed that Anthony Joshua‘s career is almost over and that he will beat him in more impressive fashion than Daniel Dubois.

Dubois stopped Joshua inside five rounds back in September 2024. It was the most impressive night of the young IBF champion’s career after two previous knockout wins over Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller, and it marked one of the worst nights in the ring for Joshua

He was also put down hard in the first round and never looked like becoming a three-time world champion. It was the fourth loss of his career following an upset stoppage loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019, which he avenged with a wide points win in December that year, and two points losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

Joshua is out recovering from injury, but insists he will be back for one final run in the ring, but a British heavyweight rival has lashed out at ‘AJ.’

That is Hughie Fury, who believes he’s put himself in the frame for a fight with Joshua. Fury has had 33 fights, won 30 and lost 3 to Joseph Parker, Alexandr Pvetkin and Kubrat Pulev. Last time out in early April, he beat Dan Garber by fifth round KO.

Speaking to Morson Sport, Fury had praise for Joshua but replied ‘100%’ when asked if he could beat him more emphatically than Dubois did.

“Yeah 100% [I’ll beat him worse than Dubois].

Anthony Joshua Daniel Dubois

These are the fights that I want. Joshua’s had a great career. You can’t really knock the fella, he’s been at the elite level. He’s done great things in boxing, but I believe his time is done. He’s got limited fights left and hopefully I’ll be one of them.”

‘AJ’ is more likely looking for a much bigger fight with Hughie’s cousin Tyson, though the former world champion remains retired for now.

“I Speak The Truth” Gervonta Davis Makes His Feelings Perfectly Clear On Canelo vs Crawford

Gervonta Davis has shared his thoughts on the upcoming showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford

It was announced shortly after Canelo’s victory against William Scull that the pound-for-pound stars would lock horns on September 12 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Canelo defeated IBF champion Scull via unanimous decision to re-capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship, becoming the first fighter in boxing history to achieve this feat during the ‘four belt era’.

With arguably the biggest fight in boxing now official, ‘Tank’ Davis has weighed in on the highly anticipated super-middleweight battle, as he reveals in a media scrum that he believes ‘Bud’ is fighting Canelo ‘for the money’

“Crawford needs the money. I’m telling you … That’s why he says he don’t like me, cause I speak real s**t.”

Davis was then asked if he believes the significant weight difference will play a factor on fight night, as Crawford prepares to step up two whole weight classes

“I ain’t trying to convince y’all that he can beat Canelo! He’s a good fighter, but… Bro, I would say smaller fighters are always better than bigger fighters cause they know how to move and things like that.”

Should Crawford be victorious against Canelo, the 37-year-old switch-hitter from Omaha would become a five-division world champion and the first fighter in male boxing history to win the undisputed championship in three weight classes

Latest : “Skeptical Last Fights” Mike Tyson Perfectly Sums Up Joshua vs. Fury After

A long-anticipated clash between former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former unified champion Anthony Joshua has remained just out of reach for years. Although negotiations have come close on several occasions, the fight has yet to materialize. Now, adding fuel to the ongoing conversation, Fury’s namesake, the legendary Mike Tyson, has weighed in with his thoughts on the matchup.

‘The Gypsy King’ is coming off back-to-back losses to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk. Following the defeats, Fury announced his retirement from boxing. While he’s made similar announcements in the past, only to return for major bouts, this time seems permanent. Still, many believe that the lure of a massive payday, particularly in a long-awaited clash with Joshua, could be enough to tempt Fury back into the ring.

Meanwhile, Top Rank boss Bob Arum had claimed that Fury has become well off from his previous earnings to put in the effort into training. “If I [were] a betting man, I would say he will never fight again,” Arum told BBC 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast. Arum even quoted the legendary Marvin Hagler, noting, “a rich guy who goes to bed wearing silk pyjamas doesn’t get up in the morning to do road work.”

Despite Arum’s take on the matter, Mike Tyson, who fought at the age of 58 last year, believes Fury and Joshua should lace up the gloves even if it were for a last fight. “I think that’s beautiful for both of them,” Tyson told iFL TV during the Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero event in Times Square in New York. “They both go home and take care of the fans and a great payday [as well].”

He also thought that the fight would be fair for both boxers since they are coming off losses. “I think they both had skeptical last fights, but still [it would] be a fight that the crowd would like to watch,” Tyson told the reporter. Interestingly, Joshua suffered one of the brutal knockout losses to IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in September last year.

While it’s unclear whether the all-British clash would ever happen, Anthony Joshua seems to have a plan regardless.

Anthony Joshua has unveiled a potential three-fight hit-list as he eyes a return to the heavyweight spotlight—and yes, Tyson Fury still tops it. Despite Fury insisting he’s retired, Joshua remains hopeful, saying, “Hopefully [the Fury fight] happens. The industry should not be left without it.”
