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 ​​...

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

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.

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 ...

Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis

The mega-fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta "Tank" Davis, according to Showtime CEO Stephen Espinoza, is "very near" to being set. The Tank-Ryan bout isn't finalized yet, according to Espinoza, because the TV networks need to be worked out. The battle between Tank (27-0, 25 KOs) who fights on Showtime, and Ryan Garcia, who fights on DAZN, doesn't serve the interests of either network for them to share the fight. Espinoza added that there is "a contract in place", but that there were still a few specifics that needed to be worked out. Despite Ryan having a sizable social media following on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, he is still not a big enough boxing star for a fight between him and Gervonta Davis to be one that will be lucrative for both competing networks DAZN and Showtime. What do you think about Garcia’s recent opponents?  Have they been of the caliber she should be going up against or are they old and past their primes...
