Hearn planning Anthony Joshua’s US debut for next fight after Parker unification; Jarrell Miller the target for August/September

02/21/2018 James Slater

US fight fans who want to see Anthony Joshua fight in America will likely get their wish this summer; while unbeaten heavyweight contender Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller may well get what he has been calling for: a shot at the WBA/IBF ruler. Eddie Hearn was in New York yesterday to announce the upcoming April doubleheader at The Barclays Centre in New York – Danny Jacobs-Maciej Sulecki and Miller-Johan Duhaupas – and he said the plan is for AJ to box in New York in either August or September.

Who has the better chin: Anthony Joshua or Joseph Parker?

02/18/201802/18/2018 James Slater

Hearn says we’ll find out a lot about how well Parker holds a shot on March 31

“I think he’s going to get a big, big shock when he gets hit on the chin by Anthony Joshua,” Eddie Hearn on Joseph Parker. As fans know, Joseph Parker and his team have made quite a big deal over Anthony Joshua’s “suspect” chin; with members of Team-Parker stating how the reigning WBO heavyweight champ will “smash” the chin of the WBA/IBF ruler when the two collide in Cardiff on March 31 (in the next big fight to be staged in the UK, for all those fans who are still getting over what went down in Manchester last night).

Who is taking the riskier fight: Wilder (Vs. Ortiz) or Johsua (Vs. Parker)?

02/11/2018 James Slater

It seems a long time since we were last treated to a memorable slice of world heavyweight title fight action, but at last we are heading towards not one but two potential thrillers: Deontay Wilder against Luis Ortiz on March 3, and Anthony Joshua against Joseph Parker on March 31.

Both fights are big – AJ Vs. Parker being a three-belt unification clash – and both WBC champ Wilder and WBA/IBF champ Joshua are predicting KO wins. But who has the tougher, riskier assignment: Joshua or Wilder?

Carlos Takam has fought both Joshua and Parker: says Parker is faster, Joshua stronger

02/08/2018 James Slater

Carlos Takam made a big name for himself in the UK with his spirited, better than expected (and short-notice) battle with Anthony Joshua last year.

We need to see more WBSS tournaments; imagine the possibilities at welterweight, light-heavyweight, heavyweight!

02/07/2018 James Slater

The two still ongoing World Boxing Super Series tournaments have been nothing but a glorious, great-for-the-sport success; of this fact there is surely no single dissenting voice. We fight fans have been spoiled with great fights, tremendous, best versus best action, and super-slick, gone without a hitch presentation.

All the pressure is on Anthony Joshua, he will get KO’d, says Joseph Parker’s trainer

02/05/2018 James Slater

Kevin Barry, trainer of undefeated WBO heavyweight champ Joseph Parker, has backtracked a touch on the claims Team-Parker made a short time ago regarding Anthony Joshua’s “dodgy chin.” Ahead of the now-signed three belt unification clash between AJ and Parker, on for Cardiff on March 31, Parker has said how he believes Joshua has in fact got a “good chin.”

Does a Deontay Wilder Anthony Joshua fight have to take place in America?

01/27/201801/26/2018 James Slater

Once again, Deontay Wilder has urged Anthony Joshua to face him in a huge unification clash in America. The reigning WBC king, readying himself for his March 3 defence against Cuban dangerman Luis Ortiz (Wilder admitting that he does have some concern over Ortiz possibly failing another drugs test; this of course ruining Ortiz’ challenge of Wilder last November) – says AJ must fight him in America and that he will earn far more money if he does so.
