Tyson Fury said Fight with George Foreman

Published

on

Carl Froch boldly stated that George Foreman “clogged” most of today’s heavyweight boxers. The iconic two -time heavyweight champion, who died last week at the age of 76, was mentioned tenderly when he left this world “surrounded by loved ones”.

“Substantial George”, the Olympic gold medalist in 1968, became a professional and quickly became a force that should be reckoned with, eminent for Joe Frazier in 1973 to win the title of World Championships. Foreman initially disconnected his gloves in 1977 after he lost another shot in the world championship title. However, ten years later he returned to an unusual one.

In 1994, at the age of 45, he defeated Michael Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion in history, which remains uninterrupted. His career finally ended in 1997 after losing to Shannon Briggs, but his heritage as one of the greatest bulky in this sport is undisputed.

The debate on how previous generations of heavyweight will act against current stars was again awarded Foreman’s death. Carl Froch, former united champion of a super medium weight, now shared his thoughts on this matter. Although he expressed some reservations about Foreman’s chances against Oleksandr Usyk, he certainly stated that the American legend would dominate both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in their leader.

“I don’t think Usyk is large enough,” said Froch TalkSport. “I mean he is a fantastic warrior, so forget about Usyk. But George Foreman, if he was in the heavyweight era, you can forget about all the other bulky weight. He would fight them to pieces. He wouldn’t be able to live with him.

After his death, his family issued a honest statement, singing the praise of the boxing of Titan both inside the ring and outside: “Our hearts are broken. With deep sadness, we announced the death of our beloved George Edward St., who calmly left on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.

The statement also presents the extraordinary achievements of Foreman and the personal characteristics: “Humanitarian, Olympian and two -time heavyweight champion of the world, was deeply respected – the strength for the good, man of discipline, beliefs and defenders of his heritage, fighting to pay to keep his good name – for his family. From a man who we were blessed to call his own.”

Oleksandr Usyk makes the final decision of Daniel Dubois Rewangj as a huge fight “finalized”

Published

on

Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois can be set to an explosive rematch in July, and negotiations on the lucrative second fight are approaching the end. According to Ring magazineThe undisputed clash in weighty weight is planned for July 12 at the Wembley stadium.

Promoter Frank Warren admitted that discussions are underway regarding the unquestioned heavyweight struggle, although no details are finalized at that time. “There were conversations, but nothing has been done yet. Nothing at the moment. The conversation is ongoing and I hope it will come true,” said Warren Talksport. He acts as requested to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at the beginning of April, applying for a permission to fight before he faces the momentary champion Joseph Parker.

WBO ordered Utyk to face the Parker in defense of his WBA, WBO and WBC titles, while the International Boxing Federation (IBF) requires Dubois to set his belt on the line against Derek Chisorie until April 22. But the first seems that he intends to go to the undisputed crown.

If the exemption is approved, this would eliminate the need to plan these two fights before Usyk-Dubois 2. Gustavo Olivieri, president of WBO, said Sky Sports: “A petition for the union of Usyk-Dubois in order to consolidate heavyweight championships is before the championship.

“Therefore, according to the official ruling in this case, we will publicly announce the official decision, including the mandatory status of Parker, if so.”

Two fighters recently collided in August 2023, when the Ukrainian provided victory over Dubois in Poland – maintaining an invincible run and holding the titles. However, this was not without disputes, because one of Dubois’s blows is questioned by the judge as a low blow.

Then Usyk triumphed over Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed world champion in Lennox Lewis in May last year.

However, due to the consent to the rematch from the Fury, he resigned from IBF – which Dubois, a former momentary owner, won during Downing Anthony Joshua.

With a flawless record of 23-0, Usyk will again be a favorite of a potential rematch. However, Dubois has only one other professional loss that was against Joe Joyce in 2020.

If he were to win, the 27-year-old would win the title of world champion in weighty weight. Although, as Usyk found out last year, it is easier to keep this nickname in the newfangled era.

For now, the WBO Championship Committee has not made a decision, leaving boxing enthusiasts impatiently waiting for confirmation of this expected heavyweight title.
