There is no doubt about it: Billy Joe Saunders turned in a quite magnificent performance last Saturday night in Canada when he totally outclassed and defused dangerous puncher David Lemieux; Saunders scoring one of the finest “away wins” from a British fighter in some time.
It’s the biggest heavyweight fight that can be made today, and everyone has an opinion on how it will go when WBC heavyweight ruler Deontay Wilder rumbles with WBA/IBF champ Anthony Joshua.
Shannon Briggs has taken to social media (again) to announce how he has been in talks with promoter Frank Warren regarding a bout between he and the possibly set to return Tyson Fury. It goes without saying that absolutely nothing is close to close to concrete as far as these two great talkers are concerned (will Fury ever fight again? Will Briggs get a license to box in the UK himself?) but Briggs is eager to be the first man Fury faces upon his will-it-won’t-it-happen comeback.
Top British boxing promoter Frank Warren says that anyone who compares reigning WBA and IBF heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua to the great, the, well, incomparable Muhammad Ali is saying something that is “beyond stupid.”
Most fans, in fact virtually all of them, will agree perfectly with Warren; although, shockingly and sadly there are those people who are trying to tell us that AJ, at just 20-0, is already a great fighter – even deserving of being compared with “The Greatest.” Warren spoke on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show this morning and the promoter explained his feelings on Joshua.
