Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is firm and desperate to make the Tyson Fury showdown a reality. He stressed the need and importance of the fight not just to them but for the sport of boxing.

\”Do I need Tyson Fury on my record? I need it.\”

\”Fight good fighters, and they bring out the best of you,\” he said on the 5 Live Boxing podcast.

\”We need it for boxing.\”

\”Training camp is brutal. To get better is very difficult in boxing. To fight Tyson Fury is a big challenge.

\”I\’m going to put that pressure on myself to get better. But it\’s what we all need. I need it. Come on, let\’s see how good I am.

\”Let\’s see how far I can take myself during this period. It\’ll be a good challenge mentally. Not about him, but because I want to do well.

\”When I wake up in the morning early, and I\’m tired, my body\’s battered, I still go out and do what I do. It\’s great rewards, and only someone like Fury can give that to me.\”

The unification bout was already moving last year as they officially declared the fight not until a judge ordered a trilogy between Fury and former WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder.

This broke all the plans of Joshua and Fury, who are now facing different opponents before they can restart their plan on colliding inside the ring.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
