Boxing: Another title shot of Manny Pacquiao? Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul? Crawford sends Canelo to canvas? Don’t be surprised

Published

on

At least the first eight months of 2025. We had historical moments that set fire to the boxing world (Women card at Madison Square Garden in July) and others that left us summer, despite the promise of the performance (Times Square event in May). The 46 -year -old Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring in July, just to gather the controversial majority to become the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history. A week later, Xander Zayas became the youngest boxing world champion at the age of 22.

In the last four months of the year, he will be dominated by Terenka Crawford, he will become a three -part unquestioned champion, when he makes an incomprehensible climbing of two weight classes up to 168 pounds to challenge Canelo Alvarez at the Allegian Stadium in Las Vegas on September 13. But while the boxing world is waiting that this historic show is not only to stop at stop.

When the boxing schedule begins to shake for the rest of the year, this is a guide to some of the most smoking questions along with answers to questions that you may not even think about.

Do not be surprised if Manny Pacquiao challenges the challenge of the welterweight Master Rolando Romero before the end of the year

Pacquiao almost broke his own record as the oldest welterweight master when he fought Titlist WBC Mario Barrios to the majority. If nothing more, it turned out to be Pacquiao that she still was at the age of 46. He explained that he wanted to fight again before the end of the year.

Initially, the idea of a rematch from Barrio sounded intriguing, but the fact is that Barrios is not a great draw. The Pacquiao manager, Sean Gibbons, suggested that the Filipino boxing legend does not waste time from Barrios’s rematch and does not look anywhere else.

If the creation of history is what Pacquiao wants, he should not look further than the fight with the title WBA “Rolly” Romero, who has a larger profile than Barrios after his nervous win with Ryan Garcia in May. Gibbons is on board this idea and it makes the most sense in the next Pacquiao fight.

Don’t be surprised if Anthony Joshua fights with Jake Paul … in 2026

There were many conversations about the potential fight between Joshua, a former champion in hefty weight and ambitious Paweł. Joshua has long wanted to fight another Englishman Tyson Fury, but it does not look like it will happen, with double Dutch fury and apart from retirement and seemingly more interested in the third fight with Okseksandr Uyk. This leaves Joshua very few options.

Fighting with Paweł is the lowest risk, the highest reward, although Joshua seems to be at the level above such a duel. When the door is approaching possible alternative opponents, Paul fights closer to reality. If this happens, it will not be this year, because Paul will have to submit at the start with heavyweight.

Paul will probably receive another fight in the circuitous scale before the end of the year and start attacking the fight against Joshua in 2026. When it comes to Joshua, he was loosely associated with Tony Yoka during the first fight after surgery.

Don’t be surprised if Gervonta Davis is not fighting again this year

After a surprising draw of the majority with Lamont Roach in March, Davis was to sign up for the rematch this summer. There were rumors that the fight was signed this weekend in Las Vegas, but before it was possible to publish a formal advertisement, the return on return were suspended when Davis was arrested in Florida on charges of the home battery on July 11.

Davis is not foreign to legal problems and often came to the most inappropriate time. However, this time “Tank” came unscathed because the case was abandoned against him. There is still time for the fight to take place, but Davis’s interest in boxing was at best summer because he was annoyed to retire many times. He will probably take the rest of the year to solve his life and consider his return options from early 2026.

Don’t be surprised if Amanda Serrano fights again and retires

Serrano had a brilliant boxing career, which finally wore the fruit of her work in the last few years after signing the contract with Jake Paul’s most valuable promotions. Unfortunately, for Serrano she ended her trilogy with Katie Taylor 0-3 after abandoning the final decision of Ireland as the main July boxing event in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. But Serrano, soon 37 years, had a boxing career for 16 years, 51 fights and world championships in seven weight classes. There is really not much more for Serrano, except for its place in the MVP office as a chairwoman of the women’s boxing initiative.

Serrano recently irritated in social media that it would fall to 126 pounds, where the united champion is for the next fight. She could establish a meeting with the title of WBC, Tiara Brown or read the MVP fighter, such as the featherweight master Ellie Scotney. Each of them can be her swan from this sport. Take it with grain salt, however, because Serrano is a warrior in the heart and can fight for the next two years.

Don’t be surprised if Claressa Shields works with Jake Paul

Shields, the undisputed heavyweight champion, ends with challenges and needs something to enhance his career. It is almost good, to the extent that some people reject its size and knock her over the unknown opposition. Both Shields and Paul’s teams said that they are open to joint work, if it has a financial sense, and it may not be better time than now.

Thanks to the most valuable promotions, Super Middle Wweight Shadasia Green disturbing former rival Shields Savannah Marshall last month, the fight between Shields and Green is the most lucrative option for Shields. Woman No. 1 pound for ESPN pounds must fight at the largest available stages to stay in the first place in the minds of boxing fans, and the event promoted by Paul opened her to a up-to-date demographic group of fans. The ego will be put aside and the money will be transferred.

Do not be surprised if Terenka Crawford knocks down and defeats Canelo Alvarez

All conversations concerned Crawford, who moved up two weight classes to face Canelo and how challenging it would be to hurt the master of superpower medium weight. But the same was said when Crawford fought with Errol Spence and Steamrolling him in 2023. While Canelo is a much bigger challenge than Spence, there are several things in favor of Crawford. The decreasing power of Canelo is disturbing and although Crawford has never been known as high volume, there is certainly the possibility that he will land cleaner blows on flat Canelo.

As for the idea that “Bud” has no wounded Canelo, it should be noted that Crawford is largely based on the distribution and arrangement to surprise his opponent. All the last finishes of Crawford appeared courtesy of well -placed meters that caught opponents outside of shooting. Canelo may not be injured against Crawford, but there is a chance that he will affect the canvas for the first time in her career, if he is not cautious.

Unified champion Oscar Collazo is scheduled to replace him at the last minute because his opponent cannot enter the U.S. in time

Unified champ Oscar Collazo set for last minute replacement as opponent unable to enter the US in time

Joey Canoy was scheduled to challenge Oscar Collazo this weekend, but the challenger is currently prohibited from entering the United States.

Puerto Rico’s Collazo has established himself as the man to beat in the minimum division, and his regular activity and lofty ambitions make him a must-see on the 105-pound scene.

Collazo stopped Melvin Jerusalem in May 2023 and has since defended the belt seven times, including a title unification with then-WBA champion Knockout CP Freshmart, also known as Thammanoon Niyomtrong, in November 2024.

Since defeating the Thai champion, Collazo has defended the unified title a total of three times and was scheduled to face Filipino Canoy 25-5-2 (15 KO) on Saturday night.

The duo was scheduled to headline at the Frontwave Arena in California, where standout amateurs Ruslan Abdullaev and Joshua Edwards will also appear on the Golden Boy card.

However, even though the event is just days away, Canoy has not yet been able to travel to the United States due to visa complications and will withdraw from the fight “if he cannot fly to America by Thursday evening,” he claims Daily Tribune.

“As of Monday afternoon, Canoy was still waiting for his U.S. visa to be issued. Sources say that if Canoy cannot fly to America by Thursday evening, he will simply remain in the country.

“The official weigh-in is scheduled for Friday. Canoy’s travel documents were submitted to the U.S. Embassy over three weeks ago.”

Canoy has fought abroad in the past, in both South Africa and Japan, but it is believed that recently tightened US immigration policy combined with a delay in announcing the venue may be to blame for this ongoing problem.

The latest update from WBO president Gustavo Olivieri shows that Canoy indeed missed his shot and was replaced by Mexico’s Luis Castillo.

Simon Jordan questions Dana White’s ‘gum flapping’ as Tyson Fury-Zuffa talks threaten Joshua fight

Discussing the situation, Simon Jordan questioned whether White’s involvement would actually facilitate get the team over the line.

“Do we think Dana flapping his gums will facilitate in the fight that still seems to be a bit up in the air?” Jordan said on talkSPORT Boxing, debating Fury’s future and the growing influence of Zuffa Boxing.

The broadcaster suggested that the situation is becoming more complicated due to the various parties already involved in the fight, including Riyadh Season, Queensberry and TKO.

Jordan believes the biggest concern is not whether Fury and Joshua want the fight, but whether the business interests surrounding it could delay or derail progress.

“I worry that politics will get in the way of this fight,” Simon said.

Despite concerns that Fury could walk away from longtime promoter Frank Warren, Jordan argued that existing contractual and commercial arrangements could make a neat break impossible.

He suggested that Queensberry could still remain involved behind the scenes, especially if Fury takes a booster fight ahead of his fight with Joshua.

Other panelists asked questions about how the move to Zuffa might impact existing contracts and where the fight will ultimately take place. There has already been speculation that the Fury-Joshua fight could be staged outside the UK, despite previous suggestions that Wembley Stadium would be the preferred destination.

Although Jordan was aware of the growing uncertainty, he did not predict that the fight would end in a fiasco.

“There is too much money in this fight for this not to happen,” Jordan said.

Fury is expected to return for a warm-up at the end of the summer before taking on the fight against Joshua that remains one of the biggest attractions in world boxing.

Terence Crawford sums up Jaron Ennis’ chance of becoming undisputed at super-welterweight

Jaron Ennis is scheduled to challenge for the unified super welterweight world title this month in hopes of starting an undisputed title run, and Terence Crawford shared whether he believes “Boots” can win all four belts at 154 pounds.

Ennis won both the IBF and WBA welterweight world titles previously held by Crawford, and in October he moved to the super welterweight scene, where He stopped Uisma Lima in the first round announce himself as a threat to the throne.

Now, in his second fight at the weight, Ennis is set to collide with unified WBA and WBO world champion Xander Zayas, and Crawford told Jai McAllister he expects his US compatriot to emerge victorious.

“Man, it’s a tough fight, especially for Xander at this point in his career, but it shows his heart and self-belief. He’s ready to make history for his country and he’ll do really well in this fight.”

“I just think it’s a little too early for him at the moment.”

If Ennis is able to hand Zayas his first career defeat and claim the unified titles, fellow champions Josh Kelly (IBF) and Sebastian Fundora (WBC) will be his next obstacles.

Crawford believes the road to undisputed “Boots” status will likely end with Fundora.

Zayas-Ennis will take place on Saturday, June 27 at the Barclays Center in Modern York. Fundora is coming off a stoppage win over Keith Thurman and is set to make another defense later this year, though no opponent has been named as of this writing.

Kelly is expected to make his first defense of the IBF belt against Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko following the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga card on July 25.
