“Boxing definitely turned”, the delicate letter of Titlist Gervonta Davis published on Friday in social media: “It went on this side … And this shit has no loyalty, so why should I care, I move properly.” Davis made his post with the following words: “boxing is dead.” Whether, while hitting a difficult time, an undefeated title, was stern or simply online ventilation, seems to be. What Davis means specifically in the post is also a secret, although there are certainly those who are ready to guess. Although he is undoubtedly a popular warrior, Davis is also controversial, as is his actions outside the ring, as well as for the alleged choosing opponents of opponents.
Indeed, Davis’s next fight will be against no one other than Jake Paul. Although 200 paweł, in the face of 135 pounds, Davis seems absurd in the face of things, the match will undoubtedly bring the burden of eyeballs and dollars. Although no one can blame a professional warrior for earning as much money as possible, the fact that Davis meets Paul in the ring raises eyebrows even higher than. Then there is the fact that Paul can do it. After all, there is such a difference in size.
Although he complains about the status of boxing in his position, Davis clearly worsened some of the boxing, not fighting Shakur Stevenson in what can really be a great struggle both in financial terms and skills. This is not guilty of Davis for not letting him fight. Politics can still stop willing fighters from the challenges they should. However, Davis speaks honestly or unfair to be the style of boxer Floyd Mayweather, who makes professional decisions over all others. Again it may not be true, but it intensifies some fans, although it may be understandable.
It is now said that Davis wants to retire after he faces Paul in November. Unfortunately, there are those who will be joyful if he does. If the accusations are true, the man maintains sport. This may be a bit unfair. Although it does not seem that he will be remotion of Lamont Roach (who fought with Davis with surprise) in the near future) in the near future), there is still the fact that the guy did not lose a single fight. And it’s not that only tomato cans fought. It’s mysterious, hearing and I see Davis criticizing boxing when he is so good. In what other sport could a man avoid fighting Shakur Stevenson or Lamont Roach to earn a lot of money fighting with Jake Paul?
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.
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.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
