Anthony Joshua Criticizes Tyson Fury


Anthony Joshua didn't like the rude behavior Tyson Fury displayed this week in his interview with the well-meaning True Geordie on YouTube.

Fury got mad when Geordie opined that Fury should have chosen a better opponent than Derek Chisora ​​to fight on December 3 on ESPN and BT Sport Box Office at London's Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.

Rather than reasonably agree with Geordie and laugh it off, Fury cursed him out at the end of the interview, and let Geordie know that he wouldn't get a chance to have Fury on his show again.

Fury made himself look really bad for going ballistic on Geordie, who basically pointed what the average fan feels about Fury's bad decision to propose beaten 38-year-old worker Chisora ​​as his next opponent instead of a respectable heavyweight that would give fans value for their hard-earned money spent to watch the fight.  It's safe to say that it's been a long time since a world heavyweight champion fought a challenger as poor as Chisora ​​and that looks especially bad considering all the great opponents Fury had to choose from.

Younger Fury would have ignored Chisora and picked a better heavyweight from a roster than Chisora, but this is what Fury wanted. Fury wanted Chisora ​​and he had already said he would give him another fight. So, it's no coincidence that Fury chose Chisora ​​as his token lamb for December 3.

He was the guy he wanted, and I hate to say it, but we could see Fury continue with that kind of cherry picking unless he fights someone good enough to turn out his lights, like Deontay Wilder. 

“I just think there’s a way that we need to conduct ourselves. Regardless if the interviewer is prodding us. I’m not the judge who can say what’s right or wrong; we just have to try and conduct ourselves in better fashion when we can, when we’re in front of the camera. When we can, just try. Try, try, try, that’s for the up-and-coming fighters,” said Joshua.

Boxing Rankings Stir Controversy as Canelo Alvarez Secures Top 5 Pound-for-Pound Spot, Sparking Outcry Among Fans

Image
  Canelo Álvarez, an undeniable modern-day legend in boxing, finds himself under scrutiny in recent times, with public opinion questioning his choice of opponents since his loss against Dmitry Bivol. The controversy escalated when DAZN shared Ring Magazine's top five pound-for-pound list, positioning Canelo in the fourth spot, while Dmitry Bivol, who defeated him, was ranked lower. This ranking decision sparked considerable debate and criticism.   Canelo's last bout saw him secure a dominant unanimous decision victory over Jermell Charlo in September of the previous year. In contrast, Bivol added another win to his record by defeating Lyndon Arthur. The inclusion of fighters on the list, which featured Terence Crawford, Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk, Canelo Álvarez, and Artur Betrbiev in that order, drew varied opinions from fans. However, the focal point of criticism was Canelo's presence on the list and Bivol's absence, perhaps intensified by Canelo being the only o

Hearn: Joshua Dominated Wallin, I'm Confident He'll Repeat the Performance Against Ngannou

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom encountered no hurdles in persuading his star boxer, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, to step into the ring against MMA veteran Francis Ngannou. Initially, Joshua was set to face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in a highly anticipated bout. However, this plan hit a snag when Joseph Parker scored an unexpected twelve-round unanimous decision victory over Wilder on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Joshua, appearing in the main event of that card, halted Otto Wallin. Hearn shared insights, stating, “Look, we were due to announce the Deontay Wilder fight in the ring that night. Both guys had signed a contract to announce the fight, and [Turki Alalshikh] was very excited. Obviously, it was one of the most highly anticipated fights that could be made this fall. It’s four years in the making, everyone was really excited. Obviously, Deontay Wilder lost. So from that moment, the cogs are turning in [Alalshikh’s] mind, ‘What are we going to do

Tank Davis Ignites Negotiations with Saudi Arabia, Requests Ferraris as Fuel for Haney Showdown

Image
Gervonta 'Tank' Davis has stirred the boxing world by expressing his displeasure with the Saudis and making unconventional demands. In a bold move, Tank has thrown down the gauntlet, insisting that the Saudis send him "two Ferraris" to initiate talks for a potential clash with WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia. This demand goes beyond the usual negotiations, signaling Tank's assertion of his status as the star in the proposed bout, while casting Haney as the lesser B-side, a weight-bully opponent lacking drawing power. The request for expensive cars is symbolic, conveying Tank's belief that he deserves special treatment as the marquee attraction. It's not merely about material possessions; it's a message to the Saudis that Tank Davis is the headliner, and Haney is merely an adversary without the same star power. This strategic demand is just the beginning, as Tank is likely to seek a substantial financial package, potentially
