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.

Oscar Duarte vs. Angel Fierro powered by Hitchins’ Fallout

Published

on

Image: Oscar Duarte vs Angel Fierro Fueled by Hitchins Frustration

There is also some frustration on Duarte’s side with the transfers. He’s still upset about how his Feb. 21 date with former IBF 140-pound champion Richardson Hitchins fell apart on fight day. The tardy withdrawal wiped out months of work, leaving Duarte without results after a full training camp and the associated expenses. This fight will be his first real chance to turn this stretch into something concrete.

Duarte pointed directly to the clash of styles. He expects pressure and prefers to face it rather than deal with it.

“I’m here to show my best and let everyone know what I’m capable of,” Duarte said. “Fierro is an aggressive player, so am I. The only way to neutralize his aggressiveness is to step forward and show him what I mean.”

This approach fits his recent career. Duarte has built his reputation on constant pressure and volume in attack, and he has no intention of changing his identity here. He also used the moment to point to a goal beyond Saturday, naming Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz as the type of fight he wants next if he can beat Fierro.

Fierro didn’t throw away style expectations. He embraced it.

“I love being the underdog. I’m here to crash the party,” Fierro said. “I gave everyone an amazing fight against Pitbull Cruz and I will do it again against Duarte.”

This reference to Cruz is significant. Fierro’s loss in this fight still improved his position due to the pace and damage dealt. Here he’s counting on a similar performance whether he wins or not, but he’s made it clear he expects more this time.

“I’m here to steal the show… we’ll delight the fans and I’ll come out with the victory.”

The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds, which gives it room to turn into something more arduous than a typical undercard fight. Both players rely on pressure, both are willing to trade and neither is talking about caution.

This usually leads to a fight that doesn’t last long.

Manny Pacquiao Says Floyd Mayweather Should Have Been Defeated: ‘Watch This Fight’

Manny Pacquiao says Floyd Mayweather should have a loss on his record: “Watch that fight back”

Ahead of reports of a rematch, Manny Pacquiao is unconvinced by Floyd Mayweather’s claims that he is the greatest fighter of all time and even questions his celebrated 50-0 record.

In 2015, Pacquiao became the 48th name on Mayweather’s resume, losing by unanimous decision in Las Vegas on a night when the main event didn’t produce the expected results but finances skyrocketed.

It’s for this reason Netflix supported the rematch between the pairscheduled for later this year but under increased scrutiny since Mayweather changed his original statement.

I’m talking to VibrationPacquiao said the fight was contractually agreed upon. He then dismissed Mayweather’s claim as the best ever, saying others had retired undefeated before him and would do it again. In fact, the Filipino icon doesn’t even believe this should be the case with his rival, claiming that he lost to Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.

“I think he lost the Oscar De La Hoya fight. Look it up. I know what boxing is, and if you go through it and watch the fight, Floyd lost it. Very clear, so watch it.”

Mayweather faced Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas. It was the biggest fight in sports at the time.

The fight was tight early on, with De La Hoya using his jab and size, but Mayweather adjusted as the match went on, providing cleaner and more precise work down the stretch. He took a split decision to win the title and thus replaced the “Golden Boy” as boxing’s leading commercial fortune.

De La Hoya has long criticized Mayweather for not accepting a rematch clause in his contract, accusing him of retiring at the right time and coming back to avoid it.

If that were the case, the American icon could face similar accusations in 2026, as it increasingly looks like Pacquiao’s rematch – despite his comments – is in jeopardy.

Canelo Alvarez will compete on the Las Vegas Card, and David Benavidez will headline Cinco De Mayo weekend

Image: Canelo Alvarez Surgery Recovery Delays Return Until Mid-2026 After Crawford Loss

Alvarez, 35, had elbow surgery last year and will miss the weekend in which he has always been the main character. He has wrestled on Cinco de Mayo weekend every year since 2015, except for 2018 and 2020.

Saturday’s event will be hosted by David Benavidez, who will move up to cruiserweight to face unified champion Gilberto Ramirez. Benavidez previously had mandatory super middleweight status during Alvarez’s undisputed title fight.

Alvarez last fought in September during Mexican Independence Weekend, losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford. It is expected to return in mid-September on the same holiday weekend.

His presence on Saturday drew attention because the co-main event will be a fight for the WBA 168-pound title. Munguia vs. Winner Resendiz will hold the belt in Alvarez’s division, which will make the outcome crucial to his next opponent’s options. No direct link has been confirmed, but a different name has been added to the current title image as a result.

If Resendiz wins, he becomes a huge high reward and manageable risk target should Saul return home. Resendiz is tough and has that unrelenting “Toro” style, but he’s technically the type of aggressive fighter that Saul has long timed and countered with ease.

The event will be broadcast on Prime Video and DAZN. Former promoter Oscar De La Hoya is also expected to be in attendance to support his fighters, including Ramirez and Oscar Duarte. In recent years, De La Hoya has publicly criticized Alvarez.
