Conor McGregor has revealed he can’t wait for Anthony Joshua to face IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois for a second time.

McGregor was one of the 96,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in September who witnessed Dubois shockingly stop Joshua in five rounds to retain the title.

It was a crushing loss for pre-fight favorite “AJ” and many prominent voices in the boxing world called for him to hang up the gloves altogether.

However, ‘The Notorious’ believes that the Watford player has what it takes to reverse the result of the match against Dubois.

I’m talking to talkSPORT this week, McGregor explained why he wanted Joshua to “try again” to take down “Triple D.”

“I thought there was a bit of tension on Joshua’s side, even on the way out – he looked too heated!

“I wasn’t that surprised, fair play to Dubois. I think Joshua did some good things too.

“He was coming back into the game but he made a few mistakes, he got a little too excited after hitting it with his backhand.

“I’m excited to see this event again and I’ll tell you why.

“Joshua has shown in the past that he can make adjustments and make amends, like in the Ruiz fight.

“So I would like to see him again. Dubois fought phenomenally that night and it would be a tough challenge for Anthony.

“But if anyone can do it, it might be AJ.”

Despite the wishes of McGregor and everyone else wanting an immediate rematch, it was confirmed that it would not happen.

Dubois’ promoter, Frank Warren, told the media on Monday that he had received word from Joshua’s team that their fighter it won’t be ready for February.

However, “Dynamite” is still expected to defend his world title next year, with the likes of Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang reportedly among the favorites to get their shot.

Jake Paul’s trainer J’Leon Love has rejected the notion that his student will face former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The clash between the two teams will take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, with up to 90,000 fans expected to attend.

This fight will fulfill Paul’s three and a half year ambition. “The Problem Child,” as Paul is known, comes into this fight off the back of a win over former UFC star Mike Perry in July.

Since his professional debut in 2020, Paul has been fighting regularly in the boxing ring. In his tiny career, the newborn American scored victories over Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren.

With a record of 10-1, his only loss was a points defeat to Tommy Fury last year. On the eve of next week’s gala in Texas, “The Problem Child” posted a video on his official Instagram account in which he reveals how the idea to fight Tyson came about. While talking to Love, it seemed like Paul’s coach was completely against the potential matchup.

The video, which dates back to 2021, before his fight with Askren, shows the YouTuber-turned-boxer humorously hinting at the prospect of fighting “Iron Mike.” “I just had a crazy idea,” Paul said. “Do you think I could beat Mike Tyson?” Love can be seen laughing before replying, “—- no.”

Paul then questioned his coach’s advice, asking incredulously, “Even in a year?” Love, who has experience in the ring himself, emphasized the depth of Tyson’s skill, saying: “Mike Tyson just got a —-. He knows how to do it bro, it’s just…”

Paul, 27, agreed and nodded, saying: “Tyson is a dog,” and mused: “I was just thinking about Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson? That would be fun.”

Paul’s fantasy fight is about to materialize next week. However, since the fight was announced, the influential boxer has been bombarded with criticism for agreeing to fight Tyson.

Dismissing skeptics, the newborn American recently defended his decision during an interview TODAYstating, “A lot of people wonder, ‘Jake, why are you doing this? Even if you beat him, they will say he is ancient.”

“But for me, Mike Tyson wanted to fight me. It’s an honor. He is one of the most famed boxers in the world who has ever done this. “It’s an honor and a dream come true to be there with someone of his character. It’s going to be a show on Netflix.”

Some fans are skeptical that “Iron Mike” will take his upcoming fight seriously after the sensational revelation. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the 58-year-old boxing icon stated that she trains six hours every day.

“I train extremely challenging, I practice six hours a day. I start at 11 a.m. and can leave the gym at 5 p.m.,” Tyson revealed. A clearly surprised Kimmel replied, “Oh no. 11:00? So it’s six hours straight, is there a break for lunch?”

Tyson admitted that there was indeed a tiny pause, prompting a stunned Kimmel to exclaim, “Oh no.”

Jaron Ennis returns to his second straight fight at the Wells Fargo Center in his native Philadelphia, defending his IBF welterweight title against Ukrainian challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in a barely needed rematch of their original 2023 meeting.

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing promotes the Ennis vs. Chukhadzhian fight DAZN Broadcast the card on live TV around the world.

Ennis (32-0, 29 KO) is one of the hottest names in the sport as he owns one of the longest undefeated streaks in boxing, and “Boots” fought 21 straight fights without having to hear the final bell before facing Chukhadzhian for the title for the first time in January 2023

That night in Washington, the 27-year-old won every round and won the IBF interim title, although the guy gave a good account of his defeat by shoving Ennis away before suffering a crushing defeat.

From their clash, ‘Boots’ knocked out Roiman Villa within ten minutes before being promoted to full champion, where he made his first defense in July, forcing the tough David Avanesyan to retire after five rounds.

Chukhadzyan (24-2, 13 KO) has since regrouped with three straight wins and returned to being the mandatory challenger in the IBF, winning the Intercontinental title, which he defended in May in Germany on points over Harry Scarff.

Bam Rodriguez is back

The card sees another featherlight heavyweight star in action as Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez defends his WBC super flyweight title for the first time in his second term as champion, against former featherlight heavyweight champion Pedro Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KO).

Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KO) broke out in February 2022, quickly winning the WBC super flyweight title against Carlos Cuadras on the cards before making two defenses before returning to flyweight and winning the title last April WBO.

The 24-year-old added an IBF crown with a stunning ninth-round retirement victory over Clear Edwards last December, then returned to the top in June to face Juan Francisco Estrada for his vintage WBC super flyweight belt.

It was a thriller, with “Bam” underperforming in one card and evenly matched in another before landing punches that earned him a seventh-round stoppage.

He will now face former titlist Guevara, 35, who is the interim super flyweight champion following a split decision in Australia against Andrew Moloney in May.

Ford looks to be getting back into shape

In ten rounds Raymond Ford (15-1-1, 8 KO) is coming back after losing to Nick Ball and losing his world title, and before moving to the super featherweight category, he should score points with Orlando Gonzalez (23-2, 13 KO) for the first time.

Coe clashes with Gallegos

Khalil Coe (9-0-1, 7 KO) also sees action, and the featherlight heavyweight can win by stopping Manuel Gallegos (20-2-1, 17 KO), who was last stopped by Diego Pacheco in his fourth fight.

Undercard remaining

Undefeated super lightweight candidate Ernesto Mercado (16-0, 15 KO) can win again at the beginning of the fight, this time against Jesus Saracho (14-2-1, 11 KO).

The only fighter in the eighth round comes in the middleweight division, where Austin “Ammo” Williams (16-1, 11 KO) returns from a break against Hamzah Sheeraz in June and should get an early win over Gian Garrido (11-1, 8 KO). ).

There is also a six-round fight in which Ismail Muhammad (5-0, 3 KO) can stop Nelson Morales (5-18, 2 KO) in a welterweight fight.

In four rounds, Dennis Thompson (2-0, 1 KO) should get on the right track and win his super bantamweight fight against Edgar Ortiz Jr (8-5-2, 4 KO), and debutant Zaquin Moses can do the same against Michael Ruiz (1-4) at super featherweight.
