After releasing three years, Keith Thurman returns on Wednesday, and in Australia all places when the American moves to a great welterweight, to face the Hope Brock Jarvis house during the scheduled ten rounds for the free WBA international title.

Without boxing boxing promotes Thurman vs Jarvis, i Fox Television in the host country.

Thurman (30-1, 22 KO) has a method in madness to lower this task, because the “one-time” aims to organize a meeting with Tim thesis, but after a fight only once in almost six years is honesty, but rust to shake on Florida.

In the welterweight, Thurman was raised to the full WBA champion in 2015 and defended himself against such as Robert Guerrero (UD12), Luis Collazo (RTD7) and Shawn Porter (UD12) before he added the WBC crown with a divided decision to win at Danny Garcia in 2017.

After defeating Josesito Lopez in January 2019 as part of the majority of the decision, Thurman would lose his undefeated record when Manny Pacquiao dropped him on his way to winning the race. The injuries would force Thurman out of the action for over two years, and his last competition appeared in February 2022. Wide points win over Mario Barrios.

The injuries played their role again in their last long break, and Jarvis from Fresh South Wales (22-1, 20 KO) will try to exploit this inactivity. The 27-year-old gained his name with several early victories, but then he was derailed in October 2022, when he was erased in a round against his friend Aussie Liam Paro.

Jarvis won twice at Low Key and increased from the super airy, weighing 158 pounds in his last performance, the fourth round of December 2024 against Adrian Rodriguez in Sydney.

Zerafa accepts

Michael Zerafa (32-5, 20 KO) appears for the first time in 2025 and heads in Germany Besir Ay (19-1, 9 KO) in ten rounds in medium weight. Zerafa lost the rematch with most Jeff Horn’s decisions in 2019, and then won four in a row, but opened 2024 with a ponderous loss in the second round with Erislanda Lara.

Zerafa returned in August last year, forcing Tommy Browne to retire after the round of the meeting due to injury. Ay fights outside Germany for the first time and won the free Ibo Continental bauble, exceeding Milos Branek over ten last October.

Another card preview

During the next ten rounds of meetings, Cesar Mateo Tapia (17-0-1, 10 KO) can get the free title of the International IBF average, winning points against Sergei Vorobev (20-2-2, 14 KO), and Tonga Togotongo (9-0, 9 KO) can win the battle for excellent records against Kirra Ruston (4-0, 4-0) in Lightweight in Lightweight Heavyweight.

The political title of the Super Fly Wweight of the International IBF can be taken into account by Linn Sandstrom (9-3-3, 2 KO), winning on the results pages due to Yoselin Fernandez from Venezuela (16-6, 9 KO).

In six rounds, Angel Rushton (4-2, 1 KO) can win his super-sand clash with Nadia Falhi (7-4, 1 KO) on points, and the prospect of welterweight Jason Fawcett (8-2, 1 KO) can do the same against Kohei Hatanak (1-1, 1 KO).

Over five years Charlie Kazzi (7-0, 3 KO) can win his airy meeting with Nort Beauchamp (19-8-1, 3 KO) early, and Sonny Knight (4-0, 3 KO) can also win after stopping against Jordan Martin (4-2, 0 KO) in Super Welleter weight. In a welterweight Jacob Clenshaw (4-0-1, 4 KO) can win on cards against Kavan Vaot (2-4, 2 KO).

Comparison of Tyson Fury’s net worth with Anthony Joshua’s net worth as much richer

Published

on

While the so-called “Battle of Britain” will decide who dominates the ring, the battle for bank balance has already been decided. Despite being at the top of the heavyweight division for most of the last decade, Fury notes that he lags significantly behind AJ in terms of personal wealth.

According to the 2026 Sunday Times Prosperous List, Joshua’s net worth is £240 million, while Fury lags slightly behind at £162 million.

The figure represents a significant jump for Joshua, who was valued at £195 million just twelve months earlier. Much of this rise is attributed to his high-profile fight against Jake Paul in December, which is estimated to have earned him a staggering £70 million.

As a result, he is currently third on the list of the richest dynamic British athletes, behind Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton (£435 million) and golf icon Rory McIlroy (£325 million).

The foundation of Joshua’s fortune is his carefully crafted personal brand. While Fury has long marketed himself as an everyman figure, Joshua has constructed his public image more like a huge corporation than a professional fighter.

AJ’s portfolio is full of profitable, long-term partnerships with premium brands including Under Armor, Hugo Boss and Land Rover.

Combined with the enormous sums accumulated over the course of his career, most notably from his two fights with Oleksandr Usyk and his devastating knockout triumph over Francis Ngannou, these agreements helped him balloon his fortune to staggering proportions.

Fury’s earnings are no less striking, although they come from fight funds rather than commercial revenues. The Gypsy King is reported to have earned around £42 million from his trilogy with Deontay Wilder, with his two spectacular clashes with Usyk in 2024 bringing in well over £150 million.

In the broader context of British sport, both players are now among the country’s financial elite. They easily overtake names such as Harry Kane and Andy Murray, who boast an estimated fortune of around £110 million, making them among the richest people in the country.

Fury could yet make up for that gap with another record payday later this year. But for now, Joshua remains the undisputed heavyweight champion of the balance sheet.

Published

on

Frank Warren is promoting a Doncaster show for the first time in over thirty years, while Dave Allen is keen to disrupt the odds in his hometown.

Hrgovic will enter the competition as the clear favorite against Allen after his last victory in Saudi Arabia.

“El Animal” heads into the main event looking to burst the bubble of Allen, who is fighting in Doncaster for the first time in over 10 years.

Over the years, Hrgovic has competed at a higher level, with wins over Zhilei Zhang, Dempsey McKean and Joe Joyce.

He last saw action in the Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte match in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

The Croatian defeated David Adeleye on a huge scorecard, although he faced some adversity in the eighth round when the Briton reacted well after being dropped himself in the earlier round.

During the period in which Hrgovic did not fight, Allen fought twice, the first in October when he faced Tyson Fury’s last opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov. at the Sheffield Arena.

“The White Rhino” was outscored over 12 rounds, with the three judges scoring him 109-117, 110-116 and 111-115.

Allen returned four months later when he faced French heavyweight Karim Berredjem, whom he handled easily, stopping his fighter with a minute remaining in the first round.

Allen spoke to professional boxing fans after the pair faced off for the first time during fight week and admitted he was the underdog but was joyful for the opportunity.

“I can’t sit here and say I can beat him, but I know I can compete with him.

“You never really know because you might have a one night stand. I just need one night, like when Lucas Browne left his upper body to finish him off.”

“Or [when he won against] Nick Webb, if I hit any of them, it’s game over.

“So I’m going into this with a little more confidence, more confidence than I’ve ever had before.”

Prediction: Hrgovic will have to be at his best to avoid being dragged into the deep end like he was in the eighth round against Adeleye, but he should have enough points to score over the tough Allen.

Michael Gomez Jr. fight with Lee McGregor

Gomez Jr. wastes no time getting back into the ring. Just 46 days after his victory over Jordan Flynn, he returns to fight against the tough Lee McGregor.

He stopped Flynn in the third round of the fight, with the 30-year-old claiming he suffered a broken jaw.

This was Gomez Jr.’s first appearance. since his arrest by Reece Belotti last February.

He will be hoping to build on his recent win against McGregor, who has also fought just once since defeat last year.

McGregor most recently won a points decision over Emiliano Leonel Araujo in his first appearance since being stopped by Nathaniel Collins.

Prediction: Gomez Jr should have enough points to earn points over 10 rounds.

Undercard remaining

Louie O’Doherty and Ahmed Hatim fought challenging in an open training session yesterday and tensions are starting to build between the two undefeated fighters.

They are scheduled to fight for both the British and Commonwealth lightweight titles.

The fight will last 12 rounds. O’Doherty is coming off a 10th-round stoppage win over Regan Glackin, while Hatim won a unanimous decision over Liam Dillon last September.

Prediction: In a real 50-50 fight, O’Doherty could have the points advantage.

Dave Allen’s welterweight fighter, Joe Hayden, returns to action after an impressive second-round stoppage victory over James Atkins after his last fight, during which he won the first belts of his professional career.

He should have more than enough to beat Ryan Frost again in the later rounds, and Frost has defeated his last four opponents.

Exceptional prospects Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and Kian Hamilton return for the second professional appearance of their careers and both will impress. Each of them should win at the break.

Hull’s Ted Jackson returns to action against Mike Byles and should claim his seventh win since turning professional, while amateur standout Bradley Casey should remain undefeated in the cruiserweight division.

Leighton Birchall should stop Leonardo Baez early in the qualifiers, which will also feature Carl Fail.

Maxi Hughes was scheduled to challenge Lewis Sylvester, but the fight was canceled the week of the fight and “Maximus” withdrew for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.
