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.

Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold

"Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold"

Otto Wallin, the heavyweight who left Tyson Fury covered in blood and was later stopped by Anthony Joshua, suffered another crushing setback when Vladyslav Sirenko knocked him out cold in the final round of their Zuffa Boxing clash in New York.

Wallin was trailing on all three scorecards before Sirenko landed a devastating right hand followed by a left hook in the closing seconds of the tenth and final round.

The Swedish southpaw crashed to the canvas and remained down long enough for a stretcher to be brought into the ring, although he later sat up and responded to medical staff.

From Tyson Fury Scare To Another Knockout

Wallin’s career has become one of the heavyweight division’s biggest “what if” stories.

In 2019, he came within touching distance of ending Tyson Fury’s unbeaten record after opening a horrific cut above the Briton’s right eye that required 47 stitches. Many believed the contest could have been stopped before Fury battled through to win on points.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News three years later, Wallin insisted the fight would have been waved off had the roles been reversed.

“I think the cuts that he had were very bad. He had 47 stitches after the fight. If I had those cuts, the doctors would have stopped the fight, for sure,” Wallin told WBN.

Despite that disappointment, Wallin rebuilt his career by defeating current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev before earning high-profile clashes with Joshua and Derek Chisora.

His defeat to Joshua ended in a fifth-round stoppage. This latest loss to Sirenko marks the second knockout defeat of Wallin’s career and leaves the 35-year-old facing the toughest questions yet over his future.

Vladyslav Sirenko Scores Career-Best Win

For Sirenko, the victory represented the biggest win of his professional career.

The Ukrainian improved to 23-1 with 20 knockouts by stopping one of the heavyweight division’s most respected contenders after bouncing back from last year’s defeat to Solomon Dacres.

Wallin once looked destined for another world title opportunity after pushing Fury to the brink and defeating future WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev.

Two knockout defeats later, that dream looks further away than ever.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: He Will Take Over

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: "He Will Take Over"

Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.

‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.

Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.

But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.

The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.

Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.

Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.

“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”

Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.

The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.

"Usyk Analyzes Anthony Joshua's Performance Against Kristian Prenga After Overcoming Two Knockdowns"

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.

Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
