In a recent interview with Boxing King Media, IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois

This victory, which solidified Dubois as one of the division’s greats, had created considerable excitement about a second showdown. However, Dubois made it clear that a rematch won’t be happening in the near future.

During the interview, the Boxing King Media interviewer discussed the impact Dubois’ victory over Joshua has had on his career. The reporter praised the champion, calling him “The King Slayer,” a nickname Dubois seems to have embraced with pride. “It feels good, it sounds great, and yeah, I’m getting used to it,” said the British boxer, who now enjoys renewed respect among fans and the boxing world.Daniel Dubois also spoke about how his life has changed since winning the title.

Though he maintains a low profile, he acknowledges that being a world champion has increased his recognition. “There are more people recognizing me, asking for photos and autographs,” he commented, adding that he hopes to gain even more renown by collecting all the belts and becoming the undisputed champion. This is, without a doubt, his main goal.

The interview also covered Daniel Dubois’ relationship with his team, including his trainer Don Charles and advisor Kieran Farrell, whom he thanked for helping him strengthen his skills and personality both inside and outside the ring. When asked about his potential rematch and whether he has recently spoken with Joshua, Dubois was blunt: “Not really. He’s in his lane, and I’m in mine. He’s been at the top for a long time, so whatever he does next is up to him.”Dillian Whyte calls for Anthony Joshua rematch

Instead of Joshua, New Zealander Joseph Parker has shown interest in facing Dubois, who doesn’t rule out the possibility. “I’d love a big fight, whoever wants it,” said Dubois, focused on defending his title.

Finally, Dubois expressed gratitude to his promoter, Frank Warren, for his constant support throughout his career, even in his toughest moments. “Frank’s a veteran, a fighter outside the ring. He’s always ready for an opportunity and has supported me a lot,” Dubois stated.

While savoring his victory over Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois prepares to keep climbing and establish himself as the undisputed champion he so eagerly aspires to be.

Daniel Dubois is on the hunt for his next opponent following a streak of three impressive victories. The 27-year-old handed Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic their first defeats and was elevated to IBF Heavyweight World Champion. His first title defense saw him dominate Anthony Joshua in the fifth round, solidifying his status as one of the division's top contenders.

While an immediate rematch with Joshua was initially targeted, it has now been confirmed that ‘AJ’ won’t be ready for a February showdown, leaving Dubois to prepare for a fight without him.

In a recent interview with Boxing King Media, Dubois was asked if he had spoken to Joshua since their fight. “Not as such. I’m in my lane and he’s in his. He’s been at the top for a long time now. Whatever he decides to do next, it’s on him,” he stated.

When asked about potential challengers, including Joseph Parker, Dubois expressed his eagerness to face any contender, particularly aiming to become a four-belt champion. “Whoever it is, I’d love a big fight. Whoever wants it can get it. Right now, whoever wants it can get it. I’m going to get back into training soon and sharpen my mind for whoever they want to throw in with me. But I want to get all the other belts and become undisputed… Put them in front of me, and I’ll knock ’em down and send them into retirement.”

The other three world titles are currently held up until December 21 when Oleksandr Usyk rematches Tyson Fury. If Fury can reverse the outcome of their first fight, a trilogy may be in the works. However, should he lose again, it’s understood that Joshua will seek a long-awaited clash in the summer of 2025.

In the meantime, this leaves Dubois with a voluntary defense. Top heavyweights like Parker, Zhilei Zhang, Agit Kabayel, and Martin Bakole will likely be eager to step into the ring with him.

In an exclusive interview conducted by Louis Hart, a member of our team, renowned boxing promoter Frank Warren spoke about his recent partnership with DAZN as Queensberry Promotions’ exclusive broadcast partner. The conversation focused on the impact this alliance will have on British and global boxing.

Starting on April 1, 2025, DAZN will be the exclusive platform for Queensberry fights, enabling these bouts to reach an international audience and creating a new stage for high-level boxing. Warren, the founder of Queensberry Promotions and a Hall of Fame inductee, expressed his enthusiasm for the deal. “We’re delighted,” he said. “It’s a great partnership with DAZN, and starting April 1st, we’ll be putting on major shows. This gives us the opportunity to broaden our horizons and bring events to a global level, not just in the UK.”This agreement also allows Queensberry to

In the past, Frank Warren had been critical of DAZN, but the platform’s global expansion changed his perspective. In the interview, he explained that the decision to partner with DAZN came from the trust he has in their management team. “They’ve shown that they have a great management team, with people I’ve worked with before at BT and IMG,” he noted.

“Salam Black, the main financier, his vision and their vision has obviously given us a lot of impulse to do this deal. We wanted this deal. Their global brand has certainly built up in the last couple of years; it’s changed in a big way.”

“We focused on building in the UK the strongest promotional business we’ve done that and now we’re moving on to the next stage at the next level,” Warren stated.Reflecting on the evolution of sports broadcasting, Frank Warren recalled how media has transformed boxing since its early days.

“My very first show was on BBC television and in those days they were the only game in town,” he mentioned. Warren remembered how, early on, only the BBC broadcast boxing, and his first event aired on that channel. Later, on ITV, he fought to have fights broadcast live, as back then they aired with a 24-hour delay.

He then joined Sky, when it had only 3 million subscribers, and helped build stars like Ricky Hatton. On BT, which later became TNT, he also established a significant space for boxing. Now, with DAZN, he feels they are advancing toward the future of the sport.

DAZN, while also broadcasting other sports globally, has a specialization in boxing in the UK, which Warren sees as a significant advantage. According to the promoter, the British audience remains one of the most passionate in the world.Update provided on Ben Whittaker vs. Liam Cameron rematch

Frank Warren highlighted that DAZN, as a global platform, will drive boxing forward, especially in the UK, where there is an enormous passion for the sport, as seen in recent events at Wembley. Along with Matchroom, he considers them to be the biggest boxing promoters in the UK and possibly in the world.

The deal between Queensberry and DAZN has also raised concerns in some industry sectors. Simon Jordan, a commentator on the Jim White show, expressed his worry about the potential monopoly that could result from the concentration of boxing broadcasts among fewer broadcasters. However, Warren dismissed this opinion.

“Simon Jordan’s in talk to his opinion for me his opinion and what he’s got to say about how boxing’s evolving and whatever I couldn’t give a flying toss about. Because everything he said about boxing up to now has been completely and utterly wrong,” Warren concluded.

With this agreement, Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions are preparing to bring British boxing to a global scale and enter a promising era alongside DAZN, solidifying their presence on a platform that continues to gain relevance in combat sports broadcasting.

Egis Klimas, Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter, recently sat down with Boxing King Media and hinted that Usyk may already have his eye on his next challenge if he emerges victorious against Tyson Fury in December. Despite a career full of heavyweight triumphs, Usyk is still hungry to prove himself.

Usyk, with signature wins over Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, will face Fury again on December 21 in Riyadh. The 37-year-old Ukrainian will look to replicate his earlier split decision win over the towering 6-foot-9 Brit. But what happens next if Usyk gets his hand raised once more? Retirement seems unlikely. Instead, Klimas revealed that Usyk has another target: a rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois.

“Would we set up a fight with Dubois if Usyk beats Fury? Absolutely,” Klimas stated. He emphasized that the previous fight left unfinished business, recalling the controversy surrounding a beltline punch that many insisted was clean, although the referee ruled it a low blow. “The referee gave us recovery time, and any smart fighter would use that opportunity,” Klimas noted.

Since his defeat to Usyk, Dubois has rebounded impressively. He’s notched notable victories, taking down Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, and he stunned the boxing world by stopping Anthony Joshua this past August. Entering 2025, Dubois is riding high, and with Usyk approaching 40, some believe the Londoner might finally be in a position to turn the tables.

While Usyk’s upcoming rematch with Fury remains the main focus, Klimas made it clear that a second showdown with Dubois could be next on the horizon. Usyk, as always, remains determined to leave no doubt.

In a recent statement, British super lightweight fighter Ohara Davies has launched strong criticisms at a former rival. Davies has called on the former undisputed world champion to reassess his future in boxing after a series of losses that, in his opinion, have tarnished his reputation.

Currently, Davies is also considering his future after a recent loss to the rising star Adam Azim. Nevertheless, Davies believes that his former rival, Josh Taylor, should consider the option of retiring after the losing streak he is facing.

Taylor, who was once one of the most respected figures in boxing, has fallen from grace after consecutive losses to Teofimo Lopez and Jack Catterall, which, according to Davies, have turned him into a “joke fighter.”It’s worth noting that Ohara Davies and Josh Taylor fought in 2017, in a match marked by tension and hostility.

On that occasion, Taylor convincingly defeated Davies, achieving a knockout victory in the seventh round. This triumph was a turning point in Taylor’s career, as he then catapulted to the global stage and achieved the undisputed title in the super lightweight division.

However, Taylor’s career has taken an unexpected turn in recent years. In 2022, he faced heavy criticism after beating Jack Catterall in a highly contested fight, where many believed Catterall was the true winner. The controversy surrounding that fight called Taylor’s dominance into question and cast doubts on his ability to stay at the top.

Following this fight, Taylor faced constant pressure, which intensified even further after his loss to Teofimo Lopez in New York in 2023. Subsequently, the Scotsman fell again to Catterall earlier this year, which confirmed his decline in the eyes of many fans and experts.WBO world champion set to change weight division

Although Taylor has not given any indication that he’s considering retirement, Ohara Davies believes he should question whether it’s worth continuing. In an interview with BoxingScene, Ohara Davies

Davies pointed out that Taylor has lost the ferocity that once defined him, recalling a time when he was an undefeated, undisputed champion feared by his opponents. In contrast, he now perceives that many see the Scotsman as a “joke fighter” who has lost the respect he once commanded in the ring.

“The Taylor that we all know was a fierce fighter; walked through anyone, beat anyone, unbeaten, undefeated, undisputed,” Davies added. “Now a lot of people are looking at him like a joke, like he’s a joke fighter, like he’s a walkover,” Davies concluded

Ohara Davies’ criticism clearly reflects the challenge Josh Taylor faces in restoring his former prestige. Although he has shown no intention of retiring, his former rival’s comments add pressure at a delicate moment in his career. Bearing the weight of being a former undisputed world champion, Taylor faces the dilemma of either risking his legacy, redeeming himself, or considering retirement to preserve his place in boxing history.

An undefeated WBO world champion, with an impressive record and an uncommon height for his division, may be about to leave his current weight class after an anticipated rematch next month. This standout fighter is set to defend his featherweight title against a rival he has previously faced in a bout that captured the boxing world’s attention last year. This clash, part of a major event, could mark the end of his career in the division and open the doors to a higher weight class.

The fight, scheduled for December 7 in Phoenix, Arizona, will be the second time these boxers face each other. Rafael Espinoza, current featherweight champion of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), may be considering a move up in weight after his upcoming bout against Robeisy Ramírez. It’s worth noting that Espinoza defeated Ramírez in December 2023 by majority decision to be crowned featherweight champion.

Carl Moretti, Vice President of Boxing Operations at Top Rank, has indicated that Espinoza may consider moving up to 130 pounds after his fight with Ramírez. This change could have significant implications for the junior lightweight division, as another competitor in that category, Charly Suárez, is emerging as a potential rival.

Suárez, currently ranked number one at 130 pounds by the WBO, has achieved important victories in his recent fights. Suárez, 36 years old and from Manila, Philippines, has won by decision against Yohan Vásquez and Luis Coria and secured a third-round technical knockout against Jorge Castaneda.

On the other hand, the card featuring Espinoza and Ramírez in their rematch will also include another eagerly anticipated bout between two prominent Mexican boxers. Emanuel Navarrete, WBO junior lightweight champion, will once again face Oscar Valdez. Both fighters first faced each other in August 2023, when Navarrete won by unanimous decision, creating anticipation for a rematch on the same card as Espinoza and Ramírez.

Espinoza’s potential move to 130 pounds would generate additional interest, as Valdez currently holds the WBO interim title in that division, making him the mandatory challenger for Navarrete. According to Gustavo Olivieri, President of the WBO, the winner between Valdez and Navarrete will have 180 days to complete another mandatory defense. Olivieri has also suggested that if Espinoza wins and chooses to move up in weight, he could automatically be designated as the mandatory challenger at 130 pounds.Floyd Schofield speaks out after victory over René Téllez Girón

Espinoza, who holds an undefeated record of 25-0, with 21 knockouts, stands at 6’1″, and his towering height makes fighting at 126 pounds a considerable challenge for him. This situation reinforces the speculation about his possible transition to a higher weight class after his fight with Ramírez.

The WBO convention in Puerto Rico has been key in discussing potential scenarios following the December 7 event. During a ranking committee meeting, Carl Moretti indicated that Charly Suárez’s next fight will depend on the results of Espinoza and Navarrete in Phoenix. Should Espinoza emerge victorious, the move to a new division would open up new opportunities for both Espinoza and other contenders in the 130-pound class.

The results of the December event are expected to shape the future of several featherweight and junior lightweight boxers. The WBO has stated that it will consult with the ranking and championship committees to determine the next course of action in these weight classes.Carl Moretti states that if Rafael Espinoza beats Robeisy Ramirez, he could move up to 130lbs and face the Navarrete vs Valdez 2 winner

Even in retirement, two-weight world champion Carl Frampton is a part of one of the fiercest rivalries in the world of boxing, continuously going back and forth with his former manager and promoter, Barry McGuigan. However, Frampton has now revealed that he came extremely close to joining McGuigan on a popular TV show that is set to commence this month.

‘The Jackal’ became the IBF super-bantamweight champion when he outpointed Kiko Martinez for the title back in 2014 and would go on to make three defences of the strap, including a famous grudge match victory over Scott Quigg, before moving up in weight.

At featherweight. Frampton continued his success by edging a majority-decision over Leo Santa Cruz to claim the WBA world title on his debut at the weight – although Santa Cruz was able to level the scores in the rematch and hand Frampton a first career defeat.

Shortly after that defeat, Frampton and McGuigan split and legal teams became involved – a sour ending to the relationship that still makes headlines when the regular spats between the pair occur.

It has now been announced that former WBA featherweight champion McGuigan will be appearing on ITV’s jungle-based reality TV show ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, and would have done so alongside cruiserweight prospect Tommy Fury had he not pulled out on late-notice.

Speaking with , Frampton revealed that he was close to being Fury’s replacement despite his dislike of McGuigan, only to be informed that McFly’s Danny Jones was instead selected.🦘 @RealCFrampton reveals he was very nearly on this seasons I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Barry McGuigan is reported to be on the show.

“I might [tune in], I don’t know. I swear to God I was nearly in it last week.

“When Tommy Fury pulled out there was me and two others [hoping to take his spot], then there was me and one other and then the fella from McFly got it instead of me.

“So obviously I think there must have been a debate that would have put me and McGuigan in at the same time, by the way I would have loved to have been in with him, I would have absolutely loved it, but it wasn’t to be.

“Maybe next year!”

The first episode of this years’ series takes place on Sunday 17th December, where Danny Jones opens as the early betting favourite to win the show, whilst McGuigan is consider as a major outsider.

Robson Conceicao and O’Shaquie Foster have battled to two split-decision’s within the last four months, with this weekend’s showdown for the WBC super-featherweight strap levelling the scores. Still, despite sharing 24 rounds with the American, Conceicao is not yet ready to move on just yet.

A Rio 2016 silver medallist, ‘Nino’ had failed in three attempts at world honours prior to his meeting with Foster back in July and the Brazilian seemed destined to finish his career as a ‘nearly-man’ as the now 36-year-old assumable edged towards the twilight of his career.

However, Conceicao was the beneficiary of one of 2024’s most controversial judging decisions when his hand was raised against Foster this summer, somehow claiming a split-decision win to finally be crowned as a world champion.

This weekend, Foster and Conceicao went toe-to-toe once again and in an ironically much more even affair, despite an improved performance from the champion this time around, it was Foster who was deemed to have done enough to reclaim the super-featherweight throne.

During the post-fight interview, Conceicao beamed with pride at his display and labelled it as one of his best performances, regardless of the fact that he lost his belt, as per Boxing News.

“I’m happy because I know what I did in the ring,”Naoya Inoue signs lucrative deal with Riyadh Season

“I know that I did a good job, so it’s no reason to be sad. … I think it’s one of my best performances. And I know that I did a good job. I trained really well for it. The fight was tough, and it was close, but I know that I did a good job.”

Additionally, the now 19-3-1 130lber from Bahia went on to call for a trilogy fight between he and Foster, hoping that the Texan would show the same willingness that was offered to him after their first encounter.

“If he accepts the rematch, just like I gave him the rematch, and I think he should show that same amount of respect, so we can do another fight. Right now, we’re still 1-1.”

Foster now holds wins over Robson Conceicao, Rey Vargas, ‘Rocky’ Hernandez and Abraham Nova and can arguably be considered as the main player in the super-featherweight division.

Yet, ‘Ice Water’ still has a long way to go if he is to truly stamp his authority on the weight-class and attempt to become the first undisputed super-featherweight champion since Hiroshi Kobayashi in 1969, requiring wins against fellow title-holders; Anthony Cacace (IBF), Emanuel Navarrete (WBO) and Lamont Roach Jr. (WBA) – all of whom have fights scheduled.

The light-heavyweight division is one that has been under the spotlight during 2024, as Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol went toe-to-toe in the first ever four-belt undisputed title contest at 175lbs. Now, Matchroom Boxing have announced that they have signed a contender at the weight who looks set to challenge for a light-heavyweight world title during 2025.

Beterbiev and Bivol engaged in tactical warfare in Riyadh last month, with Beterbiev doing enough to claim a legendary yet controversial majority-decision victory in the eyes of the judges, much to the disappointment of Bivol.

As a result of their razor-tight first encounter, demands for a rematch between Beterbiev and Bivol seem to have been answered and it is widely expected that the pair will meet again during 2025 – although it is not expected to be for the undisputed crown this time around.

Instead, Beterbiev has been ordered to defend his titles against lesser-known IBF mandatory challenger, Michael Eifert, and it is assumed by many that the Russian will opt to vacate the IBF strap rather than go ahead with the fight.

If the 39-year-old does decide to drop the belt, Eifert will likely face off with the next highest ranked IBF contender for the vacant world title – which is presently world Australia’s Conor Wallace (14-1).

Today it has been confirmed that Wallace has signed a promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing in partnership with Goldstar Promotions and Tasman Fighters ahead of his potential shot at world honours, which Wallace described as his ‘ultimate goal’ following the announcement.

“I’m very excited,”

“I’ve dreamt about being a World Champion since I was a young boy. That is my ultimate goal.”Deontay Wilder’s trainer labels upcoming title unification fight as a ‘mismatch’

Meanwhile, world-renowned promoter of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, piled further plaudits on the 28-year-old southpaw.

“This is a fantastic signing for us – and one we are thrilled to be working alongside Mick Francis at Tasman Fighters and Spencer Brown at Goldstar.

“There is no denying Conor’s ability and certainly it is going to be hard to stop him. I can see an incredibly bright future for him in the ring and there are many big fights ahead in a division that promises to deliver more fireworks in 2025.”

Finally, Mick Francis of Tasman Fighters, who has promoted Wallace throughout his career, spoke of his delight at the partnership and looked forward to future fights as the A-side around the world.

“I can’t think of a better partnership in boxing and gives Conor the opportunity to fight here in Australia and around the world as the home side. We are all looking forward to the future.”

Before Wallace can focus on any possible world title showdown against Eifert, he must first retain his world ranking by overcoming undefeated South African Asemahle Wellem (7-0-1) as he headlines a card on his Matchroom debut on Wednesday, December 11th in Australia.

Also appearing on the bill is highly-rated heavyweight Justis Huni (10-0), who is ranked as the #5 contender with the WBO and faces off with Argentina’s Leandro Daniel Robutti (11-6) in the co-main event.

Naoya Inoue is widely regarded as the pound-for-pound number one in boxing and is one of only three fighters to have achieved multi-divisional undisputed champion status since the inception of the four-belt era. Following his remarkable success, Inoue has seized the opportunity presented by the recent influx of Saudi investment in boxing, signing a lucrative deal with Turki Al-Alshikh and Riyadh Season.

Inoue has been on an incredible run over the past few years, extending his streak to 23 consecutive world title contests, all of which he has won. He has ascended through the ranks from light-flyweight to super-bantamweight, but it was at 118 pounds where he truly made his mark, defeating the legendary Nonito Donaire twice before knocking out Paul Butler to claim the undisputed bantamweight title in late 2022.

Since his victory over Butler, Inoue moved up to 122 pounds, where he halted unified champions Stephen Fulton and Marlon Tapales, becoming the undisputed super-bantamweight champion. He has successfully defended his title twice in 2024, demonstrating his dominance in the sport. "Moving up another division and dominating a fighter like Fulton is stupendous. Goodness me, Inoue is the monster everyone is saying he is," noted one observer.

Looking ahead, Inoue is scheduled to make a third defense of his titles against Australia’s Sam Goodman on Christmas Eve. In conjunction with this, it has been announced that he has signed a deal with Riyadh Season reportedly worth around £15 million, although there are no requirements for him to fight in Saudi Arabia as part of the agreement.

Turki Al-Alshikh expressed his pride, stating, “Inoue is the best and strongest boxer of all time. He has a great interest in Japan and the Japanese market. I hope he will be a good and important ambassador for Saudi Arabia and Riyadh Season.”

Inoue has indicated that he is open to the idea of fighting in Saudi Arabia but emphasized that his 2025 plans remain undecided, despite promoter Bob Arum's comments suggesting otherwise. “I think it’s all about timing. This year’s fight against Goodman has been decided. I don’t know what will happen next year. If I can fight in Saudi Arabia, I’ll just live up to those expectations,” he said.

There are also possibilities for Riyadh Season to host events in Tokyo to support their new recruit or stage a highly anticipated fight in the United States in early 2025, potentially against Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

For now, Inoue is focused on his upcoming bout against Goodman on December 24, but what unfolds in 2025 could be a pivotal moment for boxing, as the sport’s biggest stars may consider signing official and lucrative deals with Al-Alshikh’s Saudi promotion.

Following his recent triumph in the ring, Floyd Schofield has taken to social media with a strong message. The undefeated American boxer, who now holds a record of 18 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws, made it clear he’s ambitious about facing the biggest names in his division. On his official X account (formerly Twitter), Schofield took aim at some of the top contenders and revealed an unexpected change to his contract just moments before his fight.

On November 2, Schofield faced Mexican fighter René Téllez Girón in a match held in Las Vegas, USA. During the fight, Schofield showcased his technical skill and resilience, defeating Téllez Girón by unanimous decision after 12 rounds.Floyd Schofield revealed he had initially prepared for a 10-round fight but was notified in the locker room that his contract had been altered to 12 rounds.

In his post on X, Schofield expressed, “We were scheduled and trained for 10 rounds, but in the locker room they changed my contract to 12 rounds and had us initial. So keep sleeping on KID if you want. All this experience he is gaining will make him the greatest ever.”

Schofield, who has knocked down 12 of his 18 opponents, has caught the public’s and critics’ attention with his impressive skills and determination. At just 21 years old, the boxer sees the future as a challenge full of opportunities, where he hopes to face the best of his generation.

Schofield’s post on X also included a direct challenge to notable figures in current boxing. In his message, he tagged Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, and Keyshawn Davis, sending a clear message: “@Gervontaa @ShakurStevenson @KeyshawnDavis8… you all can get it. Time is on our side, not yours.”

Among the possible opponents Floyd Schofield could face next are renowned names such as Keyshawn Davis, Shakur Stevenson, William Zepeda, Joseph ‘Jo Jo’ Díaz, and Tevin Farmer. Each of these matches would represent a significant challenge for Schofield, who continues to climb the ranks and aims to establish himself as one of boxing’s future stars.We were scheduled and trained for 10 rounds, but in the locker room they changed my contract to 12 rounds and had us initial.

Ben Whittaker’s manager, Lee Eaton, has confirmed that a rematch between Whittaker and Liam Cameron is on the horizon. This follows their previous encounter on October 12, which was part of the undercard for the main event featuring Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

The initial bout ended unexpectedly in the fifth round when both fighters collided and fell onto the top rope, leading them to tumble out of the ring. The impact caused Whittaker to sustain injuries, ultimately preventing him from continuing the fight. The bout was declared a split decision draw, leaving fans disappointed and eager for a rematch.

Due to his injuries, Whittaker had to be taken from the arena in a wheelchair and will not fight again this year, as confirmed by his promoter, Ben Shalom. However, Whittaker recently updated fans on social media, stating that his recovery is progressing well.

Eaton took to X to share that he has already had discussions with Cameron’s lawyer about securing the rematch. “Had a good chat with his lawyer last night—interesting convo. The rematch will happen, I’m sure of it,” Eaton wrote.

For now, fans will need to monitor Whittaker’s recovery, but all signs point to a potential rematch against Cameron in 2025.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Dillian Whyte expressed his confusion over Anthony Joshua’s recent performance against Daniel Dubois. The fight, held at Wembley Stadium, was a surprising turn for Joshua, who was knocked down four times before ultimately losing to Dubois. Whyte pointed out that this defeat raised several questions about Joshua's preparation and mindset leading up to the bout.

Whyte commented on the various factors contributing to Joshua's lackluster showing. While some analysts suggested that issues with Joshua's corner’s instructions played a significant role, others noted unusual behaviors from the former champion in the days leading up to the fight. Whyte emphasized that something seemed off, hinting at deeper issues that may need to be addressed as Joshua seeks to bounce back.

Adding to the complexity of the heavyweight landscape, Whyte discussed his mixed feelings about Deontay Wilder, stating, “I really hate Deontay Wilder, but I have been stopped by AJ. I have never been stopped by Wilder, so I’d still love to get that one back.” This sentiment underscores Whyte's desire to settle scores with both fighters, particularly as he remains hopeful about a future clash with Joshua.

The anticipation for a rematch between Joshua and Whyte has been building since their first encounter in 2015, where Joshua claimed victory. However, their planned rematch last year was thwarted by an adverse result in Whyte's drug test. Despite these setbacks, Whyte is optimistic about facing Joshua again, especially now that Joshua is in a rebuilding phase following the loss to Dubois.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, provided insight into the former champion's plans, revealing that Joshua is eager for a rematch with Dubois in February. However, minor physical issues could delay his return to the ring. Hearn explained that timing is crucial; for Joshua to fight Dubois in February, he would need to start training soon. Yet, Hearn also mentioned that Joshua might choose to wait for the outcome of Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 before making a decision on his next move. If Fury wins, a monumental clash between Joshua and Fury could be on the table for May, marking a potentially historic moment in the heavyweight division.

As the heavyweight landscape continues to evolve, Dillian Whyte remains patiently focused on the opportunity to rekindle his rivalry with Joshua. With both fighters at critical junctures in their careers, the coming months promise to deliver exciting developments that could reshape the future of heavyweight boxing.

On Saturday, November 2, 2024, boxer Gabriela Fundora, nicknamed “Golden Girl,” made history by becoming the youngest undisputed champion in women’s boxing history. The 21-year-old fighter claimed victory with a seventh-round technical knockout over Gabriela Celeste Alaniz, achieving this feat at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. This triumph not only secured her the four main titles in the flyweight division but also solidified her place in boxing history.

Fundora’s height and reach advantage worked in her favor, allowing her to stay composed and strategic in every exchange. Despite Alaniz’s efforts, showcasing good footwork and speed, she was forced to fight at close range due to Fundora’s physical advantage.

The fight was stopped in the seventh round when referee Robert Hoyle intervened after a series of powerful punches from Fundora. Alaniz had been knocked down twice, and her corner decided to throw in the towel to prevent further damage.

Fundora

We have become accustomed to Deontay Wilder taking the headlines, however on this occasion, his trainer, Malik Scott, is the one taking the limelight.

It is just two weeks until WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez faces off against WBO champion Chris ‘The Gentleman’ Billam-Smith in a unification clash out in Saudi Arabia, in the next instalment of ‘Riyadh Season’.

Scott is a trainer of Ramirez and will be there on the night to assist lead trainer Julian Chau.

After suffering the first defeat of his career to Dmitry Bivol in 2022, Ramirez has since moved up from light heavyweight to pursue a career in the cruiserweight division.

Now two fights in and having picked up the WBA strap last time out against Arsen Goulamirian, ‘Zurdo’ is looking to unify and set up a potential clash against Jai Opetaia.

His opponent, ‘CBS’ is in red-hot form.

After defeating former stablemate, now turned heavyweight, Lawrence Okolie, to become WBO champion, he has since defended his title against Mateusz Masternak and Richard Riakporhe.

Significantly, the victory against Riakporhe avenged the only defeat of his career to date.

Speaking to BoxingScene, ‘Zurdo’s’ trainer Scott has dismissed claims that this fight could be a 50:50.World champion relinquishes belt

“I had Zurdo for his fight with Joe Smith, and he did well. No disrespect to Billam-Smith, but this fight is a mismatch.”

Scott went on to explain why he believes his fighter is far too-good for his opponent.

“Zurdo is a big, strong southpaw who’s faced tougher opponents than Billam-Smith,” Scott said. “He’s a powerful body puncher with great angles and an incredible boxing mind. Billam-Smith is big and keeps coming forward, but he’s a one-trick pony.”

He did credit Billam-Smith’s trainer, but he went on to explain how this fight will play out and what will be next in his career.

“He has a good trainer, but I think Zurdo takes over in the second half,” Scott said. “Zurdo has a dream team in his corner. I believe he’ll become undisputed champion, with Jai Opetaia as his only real challenge.”

Malik Scott believes strongly that his man will win the fight and win it in impressive style.

However, with ‘The Gentleman’ on such a significant win streak, this fight may turn out to be much tougher than he is expecting.

The hugely popular ‘The Romford Bull’ Johnny Fisher could be one of the next stars in British heavyweight boxing. Despite only having had 12 fights, he has sparred with some of the best in the division and he has recently revealed which current heavyweight carries the biggest punch.

Fisher is set to bring the ‘Romford army’ over with him to Saudi Arabia in December when he faces the experienced David Allen on the undercard of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

Notwithstanding the fact that Allen is not the fighter he once was, the experience he has should result in this fight being the toughest test of Fisher’s career to date.

The young Brit is coming off an emphatic first round knockout victory against Alen Babic in front of a raucous Copper Box crowd.

He has been touted by his promoter Eddie Hearn as the next big ticket seller in the country.

In his most recent fight he sold over 4000 tickets alone.

These numbers are extraordinary for a man only 12 fights into his career.

Not only has Fisher stolen the hearts of many British fans already, but he has also sparred with the likes of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois, and Joe Joyce.Lennox Lewis doubts Anthony Joshua’s readiness for a Daniel Dubois rematch

Speaking to the Take A Seat Podcast, he has revealed which of those he has

“[Dubois] He can whack, he can seriously punch.”

“He’s the hardest I have been punched by ever and his jab is like a right hand when it hits you.”

“It is unbelievable power. He hits you like an absolute horse.”

Johnny Fisher has revealed that Daniel Dubois is without doubt the biggest puncher that he has

Daniel Dubois’ power was clear to see when he shocked the world by utterly demolishing Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.

Whilst, it is a few years before Fisher will likely face the likes of Dubois, having had the experience of sharing the ring with him, can only stand him in good stead moving forward.

It will become clearer as time goes on whether the man from Romford will reach the top of the division, but his next fight should provide fans with a clearer picture of where he is at currently.

Lawrence Okolie, who recently made the leap to the heavyweight division, isn’t wasting any time calling out big names. The former cruiserweight world champion has his sights set on none other than Anthony Joshua, a fighter he’s admired since working at McDonald’s and watching ‘AJ’ capture Olympic gold in 2012.

Okolie’s heavyweight debut is set for Saturday, December 7th, on the upcoming ‘Magnificent 7’ card. And his ambitions are clear: he’s planning to fight a top-five contender after his debut and then push for a world title shot by next summer.

The move to heavyweight comes with another significant change—Okolie has switched promoters, signing with Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions. Now part of a star-studded heavyweight roster, Okolie is eager to make a statement.

“I will be bringing big performances at heavyweight,” Okolie told the Daily Star, highlighting how weight-cutting struggles affected his knockout power at cruiserweight. “In my early cruiserweight days, before I was draining myself, I was putting on knockout performances nine times out of ten, but then it started to fade. From the spars I’ve had with heavyweights, I know I can do it. I want to show this explosive power.”

Okolie is determined to make an impact and won’t shy away from the toughest matchups, including a showdown with Joshua. “My whole life has been about the next step,” he said. “Now my aim is to be world heavyweight champion. I want that next year.”

As Anthony Joshua explores his options after the Daniel Dubois rematch fell through, a potential clash with Okolie could become a reality, setting up an electrifying encounter in a stacked division.

After Anthony Joshua’s crushing defeat to Daniel Dubois, there were some people within the sport calling for him to retire. Not least of these was ‘The Hitman’ Ricky Hatton.

Now after some time since the fight, Hatton has clarified what he meant.

Ricky Hatton is one of the greatest fighters to come out of Britain and he brought his country’s fans some of their greatest nights.

His biggest night came in 2005 when he won the IBO world super lightweight title, in his hometown, Manchester, against Kostya Tszyu.

With a record of 45-3, he retired in 2012 after being knocked out by Vyacheslav Senchenko.

His son, Campbell, has followed in his footsteps, but after back-to-back defeats, it does not seem likely that he will reach the feats of his father.

Speaking to IFL TV, Ricky Hatton has clarified his comments after Joshua’s defeat.

“I think I speak for the whole nation, I’ve got a lot of love for Anthony Joshua.”Jaron Ennis

”The thing is about boxing is, you don’t like seeing your mates get knocked out.”

”I don’t think he’s got anything left to prove.”

Hatton points out that ‘AJ’ has nothing else left to prove in the sport, but whether he carries on or not should be up to him.

He then went on to suggest who he would like to see Joshua fight if he were to carry on.

”But if he wants to carry on, who wouldn’t want to see him fight Tyson Fury.”

Hatton also suggested that if he were Daniel Dubois he would be annoyed about a potential rematch and instead should be looking at different options.

”Daniel Dubois deserves the chance to rematch Usyk or the big payday with Tyson”

This week we learnt that the rematch may not even take place next as Anthony Joshua is unlikely to be ready for a proposed February 22nd date.

Instead, there have been rumours of potential replacements for Dubois, with a certain Zhilei Zhang through in his name into the hat.

ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ returns to our screens on Sunday, November 17.

Over the years, there have been many former boxers who have appeared on the show.

Just last year, fan-favourite Tony Bellew finished second on the show.

Furthermore, the likes of Amir Khan, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn have also had their time on the hit reality tv show.

Now this year, according to The Sun, it is the turn of boxing hall of famer, former WBA and lineal featherweight champion, Irish legend, Barry McGuigan.

Barry, the father of trainer Shane McGuigan, was loved by both Ireland and Northern Ireland and was seen as a beacon of peace during those troubling times.

He had a monumental career, winning 32 fights (28 by KO) and only losing just the 3 times.

It was in 1985 when he cemented himself in Irish history, when he beat Eusebio Pedroza to win the WBA world featherweight title.

Known as ‘The Clones Cyclone’, the Irishman has since took up managing fighters, doing punditry for Sky TV and setting up the Professional Boxing Association – to which he is the Chairman for.Frank Warren rules out Daniel Dubois vs. Anthony Joshua rematch

Moreover, he was involved in a high-profile legal battle against one of the fighters he used to manage, fellow countrymen Carl Frampton.

His son Shane, who himself was involved in the Frampton case, is a successful boxing trainer.

Alongside Frampton, Shane has trained some of the most recognisable name in British boxing.

This list includes David Haye, George Groves, current IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and Josh Taylor.

The Irish legend looks set to join Coleen Rooney, Maura Higgins, Oti Mabuse, Danny Jones, and many more celebrities.

Fans will be excited to see whether Barry can replicate the bravery he showed in his career, in the jungle where he will be tasked with the infamous ‘Bushtucker Trials’.

Son Shane, will be looking ahead to November 16th when Chris Billiam-Smith returns to defend his WBO cruiserweight title against Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez on the next instalment of ‘Riyadh Season’.
