Fury, making serious noise about being serious about fighting again, stating he will come back after his now two-year absence and “destroy” Anthony Joshua, has penned an open letter to Klitschko, which he has posted on social media. In the letter, Fury informs Wladimir how he will “be haunting your nightmares forever.”

Deontay Wilder: “Joshua fears me”

Deontay Wilder: “Joshua fears me”

Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) sees fear in British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs), but he wants him to know that it’s going to be alright.

Wilder says it won’t be the end of Joshua’s career after he loses to him. Joshua is still young enough to pick up the broken pieces of his career and come and still be successful.

Jarrell Miller battles Mariusz Wach tonight

By Andy Brooks: Heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (19-0-1, 17 KOs) will be testing himself tonight against aging fringe level contender Mariusz Wach (33-2, 17 KOs) in the co-feature bout on the Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs vs. Luis Arias card on HBO Boxing at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

Miller came in at 283 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in, and he looked in shape for a change. In his last couple of fights, Miller has weighed in at 298 and 296 and looked like he’d trained at a fast food joint. Miller took off 15 pounds, and he looks much better than he has in a long time. That’s good news.

Hughie Fury – A Reflection Of His Cousin?

Hughie Fury - A Reflection Of His Cousin?

There has been a lot of talk over the last few days about the best current heavyweight boxer and who that may be. Some think it’s Joshua, whilst others champion the causes of Wilder and Parker. Some still think that Tyson Fury is still the king of heavyweight boxing even with his “issues” and having been out of the ring for the last two years.

Jarrell Miller vs Mariusz Wach tomorrow night: Both big guys talking KO, brutal fight

The stakes may well have risen for tomorrow night’s already interesting heavyweight clash between unbeaten contender Jarrell Miller and the experienced Mariusz Wach. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who may or may not sign Miller up (and co-promote along with Dmitry Salita and Greg Cohen) says that if “Big Baby” puts on a big show he might just get a crack at Anthony Joshua next year (if the Wilder and/or Joseph Parker talks stall).

Amir Mansour to fight unbeaten Sergey Kuzmin in Russia Nov. 27

Amir Mansour to fight unbeaten Sergey Kuzmin in Russia Nov. 27

An interesting and potentially explosive heavyweight match-up will take place in Russia on the 27th of this month as unbeaten Sergey Kuzmin, 11-0(8) will take a step up against tough and hungry Amir Mansour, 23-2-1(16).

30 year old Kuzmin, a decent amateur who went pro three years ago and has compiled a nice record whilst boxing mostly in Russia but also fighting in the US and in Canada, has stopped useful heavyweights like Darnell Wilson, Irineu Costa Junior and Malcolm Tann. Some people have quite high hopes for the unbeaten puncher.

Liam Williams vs Liam Smith live on BT Sport and BoxNation

Characteristically, ‘Beefy’ was bristling with bad intent when Glynn Evans caught up with him last night ahead of Saturday’s scintillating re-sit against bitter rival Liam Williams at Newcastle’s Metro Arena. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live.

“Part of why we accepted this rematch was to disprove all the fans and media who feel Williams was hard done by. The way I view it is that the controversial ending on a cut robbed me of recognition for a great comeback victory on a bad night.
