Boxing heavyweight Anthony Joshua has built an impressive property empire, investing millions outside of his sporting career. The 35- year-old has amassed substantial personal wealth since turning professional in 2013 and has chosen to invest wisely.
Promoter Eddie Hearn remains hopeful a fight between British heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could still take place.
Daniel Dubois could face Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight unification bout at Wembley in July, with promoter Frank Warren crossing his fingers the fight goes ahead.
Promoter Bob Arum does not think Tyson Fury will return to the ring after the former world champion announced his retirement in January.
Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk and British professional boxer Daniel Dubois are in the process of finalizing a deal for a heavyweight championship rematch on July 12 at Wembley Stadium in London, in what will be the athletes’ second fight, Ring Magazine reports.
PARIS: Ukraine’s boxing icon Oleksandr Usyk told AFP he will stay in the sport “a little longer” so he can provide “financial support to our army and civilians” and achieve his sporting goal of once again being undisputed heavyweight world champion. The 38-year-old, who holds all the belts except the IBF version which belongs to Daniel Dubois, has been galvanized by the war ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February 2022, wreaking death and destruction on his compatriots and his homeland. His exploits — two memorable victories over British opponent Tyson Fury plus others over Anthony Joshua and Dubois — have helped keep his beleaguered country very much in people’s minds. In a wide-ranging interview, Usyk said his father, who fought in the Soviet Army, was the seminal influence on his career. He says he has been inspired by “both the heroes of the past and the modern Ukrainian heroes who are now defending our homeland in the armed forces.” “Representing Ukraine on the global sports stage, spreading the truth about the war, and providing financial support to our army and civilians — this is also a powerful motivation for me to stay in professional boxing a little longer,” he said. “I feel great, I’m ready for any opponent and would love to take another shot at becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion again.” Usyk says Fury is the toughest opponent he has faced “for the moment” and added that he expects the unpredictable Briton to return to boxing, although perhaps “in a different role.” Usyk can thank his late father, also called Oleksandr, for his extraordinary resilience in brutal bouts with Fury and twice with Joshua.
Anthony Joshua’s next fight could be a rematch against Joseph Parker, according to the British heavyweight’s promoter Eddie Hearn.
George Foreman’s place in boxing history “and beyond” will never be forgotten, according to Mike Tyson, who paid tribute to the former two-time world heavyweight champion following his death at the age of 76.
LONDON : The World Boxing Organisation ordered Ukraine's world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk to open talks with Joseph Parker on Thursday for a mandatory title defence.
