Conor McGregor has revealed he can’t wait for Anthony Joshua to face IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois for a second time.

McGregor was one of the 96,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in September who witnessed Dubois shockingly stop Joshua in five rounds to retain the title.

It was a crushing loss for pre-fight favorite “AJ” and many prominent voices in the boxing world called for him to hang up the gloves altogether.

However, ‘The Notorious’ believes that the Watford player has what it takes to reverse the result of the match against Dubois.

I’m talking to talkSPORT this week, McGregor explained why he wanted Joshua to “try again” to take down “Triple D.”

“I thought there was a bit of tension on Joshua’s side, even on the way out – he looked too heated!

“I wasn’t that surprised, fair play to Dubois. I think Joshua did some good things too.

“He was coming back into the game but he made a few mistakes, he got a little too excited after hitting it with his backhand.

“I’m excited to see this event again and I’ll tell you why.

“Joshua has shown in the past that he can make adjustments and make amends, like in the Ruiz fight.

“So I would like to see him again. Dubois fought phenomenally that night and it would be a tough challenge for Anthony.

“But if anyone can do it, it might be AJ.”

Despite the wishes of McGregor and everyone else wanting an immediate rematch, it was confirmed that it would not happen.

Dubois’ promoter, Frank Warren, told the media on Monday that he had received word from Joshua’s team that their fighter it won’t be ready for February.

However, “Dynamite” is still expected to defend his world title next year, with the likes of Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang reportedly among the favorites to get their shot.

Jaron Ennis returns to his second straight fight at the Wells Fargo Center in his native Philadelphia, defending his IBF welterweight title against Ukrainian challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in a barely needed rematch of their original 2023 meeting.

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing promotes the Ennis vs. Chukhadzhian fight DAZN Broadcast the card on live TV around the world.

Ennis (32-0, 29 KO) is one of the hottest names in the sport as he owns one of the longest undefeated streaks in boxing, and “Boots” fought 21 straight fights without having to hear the final bell before facing Chukhadzhian for the title for the first time in January 2023

That night in Washington, the 27-year-old won every round and won the IBF interim title, although the guy gave a good account of his defeat by shoving Ennis away before suffering a crushing defeat.

From their clash, ‘Boots’ knocked out Roiman Villa within ten minutes before being promoted to full champion, where he made his first defense in July, forcing the tough David Avanesyan to retire after five rounds.

Chukhadzyan (24-2, 13 KO) has since regrouped with three straight wins and returned to being the mandatory challenger in the IBF, winning the Intercontinental title, which he defended in May in Germany on points over Harry Scarff.

Bam Rodriguez is back

The card sees another featherlight heavyweight star in action as Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez defends his WBC super flyweight title for the first time in his second term as champion, against former featherlight heavyweight champion Pedro Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KO).

Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KO) broke out in February 2022, quickly winning the WBC super flyweight title against Carlos Cuadras on the cards before making two defenses before returning to flyweight and winning the title last April WBO.

The 24-year-old added an IBF crown with a stunning ninth-round retirement victory over Clear Edwards last December, then returned to the top in June to face Juan Francisco Estrada for his vintage WBC super flyweight belt.

It was a thriller, with “Bam” underperforming in one card and evenly matched in another before landing punches that earned him a seventh-round stoppage.

He will now face former titlist Guevara, 35, who is the interim super flyweight champion following a split decision in Australia against Andrew Moloney in May.

Ford looks to be getting back into shape

In ten rounds Raymond Ford (15-1-1, 8 KO) is coming back after losing to Nick Ball and losing his world title, and before moving to the super featherweight category, he should score points with Orlando Gonzalez (23-2, 13 KO) for the first time.

Coe clashes with Gallegos

Khalil Coe (9-0-1, 7 KO) also sees action, and the featherlight heavyweight can win by stopping Manuel Gallegos (20-2-1, 17 KO), who was last stopped by Diego Pacheco in his fourth fight.

Undercard remaining

Undefeated super lightweight candidate Ernesto Mercado (16-0, 15 KO) can win again at the beginning of the fight, this time against Jesus Saracho (14-2-1, 11 KO).

The only fighter in the eighth round comes in the middleweight division, where Austin “Ammo” Williams (16-1, 11 KO) returns from a break against Hamzah Sheeraz in June and should get an early win over Gian Garrido (11-1, 8 KO). ).

There is also a six-round fight in which Ismail Muhammad (5-0, 3 KO) can stop Nelson Morales (5-18, 2 KO) in a welterweight fight.

In four rounds, Dennis Thompson (2-0, 1 KO) should get on the right track and win his super bantamweight fight against Edgar Ortiz Jr (8-5-2, 4 KO), and debutant Zaquin Moses can do the same against Michael Ruiz (1-4) at super featherweight.

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s relationships have come and gone over the years, but his breakup with his tiger may be one of the most painful. This comes after the couple was forced to split up when the large cat in question “teared off someone’s arm.”

At one point, boxing king Tyson owned three Bengal tigers, but gave two to an animal shelter when he realized they required too much care. The remaining tiger, Kenya, remained with him for 16 years until a tragic accident led to their separation and the woman’s alleged loss of a limb.

‘Iron’ Mike – who is due to retire and fight Jake Paul on November 15 – reportedly bought the tiger for £55,000 when he was released from prison following his rape conviction in 1992. However, their bond came to an unfortunate end when a member of the public strangely decided to enter the enclosure in Kenya.

“I had a tiger, her name was Kenya and she weighed about 250 kilograms,” Tyson told GQ (via Mirror) in 2019. “I had great affection for her, I held her, I slept with her, I kept her in my room.

“She stayed with me. I had her for about 16 years. She was a huge monster, you couldn’t imagine her size. But she was too elderly and I had to get rid of her when her eyes and head deteriorated. Oh, and she ripped off someone’s arm.

Contrary to speculation that Kenya had escaped from her enclosure when the crash occurred, Tyson clarified that it was the woman who had entered the tiger’s territory. The boxing legend explained that the woman in question jumped over a fence to play with her cat before things took a turn for the worse.

Tyson also revealed that a seriously injured woman tried to sue him over the incident. However, the lawsuit was unsuccessful because she technically broke into a fence in Kenya.

Despite this, Tyson has explained in the past that he still paid out a significant amount of compensation. In an Instagram Live conversation with rapper Fat Joe in 2020, he said, “When I saw what the tiger did to her hand, I had a lot of money at the time, so I gave her $250,000, whatever it was, because she was just cursed.” ***** up.”

Tyson is now preparing to face Paul in the ring next Friday in his first professional fight since 2005. However, fans hope that their clash will not end with stern injuries to any of the players.
