Eddie Hearn commented on speculations about whether Anthony Joshua will stay with coach Ben Davison.

Hearn and Davison could only watch as Joshua behaved eventually stopped by Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last month, he failed to become a three-time world heavyweight champion.

Harlow’s coach faced criticism after the fight, particularly for the “AJ” order given immediately before Dubois stopped him in the fifth set.

The Watford superstar is no stranger to hiring and firing coaches – Davison is his fourth in the last three years.

However, in a recent interview with Fight Hub Television, Matchroom boss Hearn said he didn’t think Joshua would be looking to move up to fifth anytime soon.

“He is satisfied with his training camp. It was in great condition; he sparred really well.

“In my opinion, there will be no changes.”

Davison was repeatedly praised for his partnership with Joshua before the disastrous showdown with Dubois, with many observers saying the 34-year-old looked as good as ever in the two fights preceding Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou.

However, these shows turned out to be of little value against “DDD”, who attacked his older compatriot and dominated practically the entire fight.

Against the advice of many prominent figures in the boxing world, it is increasingly likely that Joshua will go straight into another fight with the heavy-handed 26-year-old, with a second fight reportedly being the preferred option of Saudi financier Turki. Alalshch.

However, it should not be surprising that Joshua wants to settle the score immediately – he immediately drew with the only two players who beat him, Andy Ruiz Jr and Oleksandr Usyk.

That said, another loss to Dubois at this stage would certainly spell the end of the career of British boxing’s greatest ever star.

Boxing enthusiasts are raising eyebrows at Jake Paul’s readiness as the 27-year-old prepares to face Mike Tyson.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer will face former world heavyweight champion Tyson, who, at 58, is more than twice Paul’s age. Initially scheduled for July, the match was postponed due to health concerns about Tyson.

The rescheduled clash was scheduled for November at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Paul enters the ring with a 10-1 record after triumphing over Mike Perry earlier this year.

Recent Instagram footage shows Paul in the heat of training camp, but some fans remain skeptical after seeing clips of the Ohio native.

“He doesn’t look fit at all,” one viewer commented on the video. Some, however, defend Paul’s performance, noting that he is expected because he has bulked up to challenge Tyson.

Support for Tyson persists despite an age difference of more than three decades. “You might be fooling those little kids who didn’t grow up watching Tyson… Mike will knock you back to being a Disney Channel moron,” one fan noted.

“Real talk! He doesn’t understand who he’s dealing with,” we read in another comment. “Power has no age limits. It stays in muscle memory.”

What are your thoughts on Jake Paul’s chances against Mike Tyson?

Share your views in the comments section below.

For Tyson, this is his first meeting in the ring since the exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr in 2020. This is a significant moment, marking his return since he last faced Kevin McBride professionally over 18 years ago in 2005.

His return was put on hold due to a flare-up of an ulcer, which led to a delay as advisers insisted on a postponement after consulting medical experts. This warning measure, adopted in May, underlined the paramount importance attached to the well-being of the athletes involved.

A stern warning to Paul for his upcoming fight comes from none other than boxing great “Sugar” Shane Mosley. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, the 53-year-old emphasized: “If Mike really hits Jake, Mike can really hurt Jake, and I know what Mike can do and what Jake can do,” which increases the risk of the game .

Expressing doubts about Paul’s knowledge of Tyson’s power, Mosley noted: “I don’t think Jake really understands how difficult Mike can punch. Mike is 58 years ancient, but these are two-minute rounds and all the fighters are proud. I don’t think Mike will go there to lose to Jake Paul. Jake thinks he can take the shot.

Delving into the dynamics of the match, he detailed: “In the first five or six rounds and what makes it so humorous is that Mike Tyson’s punch is perilous, very perilous. Jake will have to tire him out. “Jake will do it, I have to understand how these blows will be dealt to him.”

Finally, Mosley offered insight into the sheer intensity of professional fighting compared to casual brawls, declaring, “People need to understand that a bar fight between two guys is one thing, and a professional fighter, especially a former world champion, regardless of age, is still very a perilous man who can seriously hurt you. I don’t know how long they will be able to hurt you [laughs]but these are blows from people who have been blowing all their lives.”

It’s not often that Tyson Fury withdraws from a fight, but there is one name he has no interest in stepping into the ring with. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” has faced all claimants to his throne, but the rising Moses Itauma is an enemy he would rather not face.

And it’s demanding to blame boxing superstar Fury for avoiding this dynamo, especially considering the speed at which he’s rising in the heavyweight division. Itauma, 19, made his professional debut in January 2023, but already has a perfect 10-0 record.

Eight of those wins have been by knockout, including the last six in a row. Four of them ended in the first round, most recently Itauma defeated former Unified title challenger Mariusz Wach in May.

Some boxers may claim that they are open to any fight at any time. But Fury knows better after taking a closer look at Itauma, especially with his retirement date now in sight.

“No, definitely not!” Fury told TNT Sports when asked if he would consider facing Itauma in one of his farewell fights. “Do you think I’m stupid? No, no, no…”

The comment is related to Fury’s earlier praise of another boxer whom he predicted would have a great future. After a July sparring session with the teenager, the Gypsy King called Itauma “the future of the heavyweight division.”

Itauma’s finishing power has even compared him to a certain boxing icon, earning him the nickname “Britain’s Mike Tyson.” And the teenage man has set his sights high, as he says Mirror intends to break Iron Mike’s record as the youngest heavyweight champion, winning his first belt at the age of 20 years and four months.

Itauma said after calling training with Fury “an honor and a privilege.” talkSPORT the former champion was “very Marmite in sparring”. He added: “Sometimes he did well, but sometimes he was unreliable.”

Fury was at the M&S Bank Arena on Saturday to watch cousin Walter Fury defeat Dale Arrowsmith to move to 2-0 in the super welterweight division. The Gypsy King was supposed to meet Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch this month, but the second fight was postponed to December.

The 36-year-old is unlikely to look beyond that date when planning his future, with Fury desperate to settle the score after losing his WBC title to Usyk in May. Revenge against the Ukrainian would make Fury the undisputed king of the heavyweight division, but he had a lot of demanding work ahead of him, which resulted in Usyk’s first defeat in his career.
