Eddie Hearn Makes Emphatic Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker Prediction: “His Style Causes Problems”

Eddie Hearn has a clear view on how Daniel Dubois is going to fare against Joseph Parker.

Dubois goes into this second defence of his IBF title off the back of an impressive run. In just over a year, he has put together three increasingly impressive knockout performances.

First he stopped American Jarrell Miller in the dying seconds of their 10-round fight, before he overcame the power of Fillip Hrgovic in June, then, best of all, he quickly dispatched former two time world champion Anthony Joshua inside five rounds in September.

Parker is a former WBO champion himself. He is also in a rich vein of form having beaten Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder on points in his last two contests.

Speaking to And Still Boxing, Hearn gave his view that Parker would get the victory.

“I think he wins the fight. I’m kind of like Joseph’s unofficial promoter. He’s a mate of mine and I love him. I think he’s gonna win. I do. I think he’s got the style to beat Dubois

Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker.

“Sometimes when you get the big win you get a bit carried away. You see [Daniel] in the ring calling out Usyk and if I’m Joseph I’m just chipping away, working away. It’s a tough fight but I think he can win … I think Parker is in the form of his career and he’s got the style that will really trouble Dubois.”

This fight on February 22 is part of a huge bill out in Saudi Arabia that is topped by a much-anticipated rematch between undisputed light heavyweight ruler Artur Beterbiev and challenger Dmitry Bivol after a close first contest back in October.

Mike Tyson sends message to Jake Paul after making huge purchase with $20 million fight purse

Boxing Hall of Famer Mike Tyson sent Jake Paul a ‘Happy Birthday’ message just days after securing a massive purchase after their fight.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul made millions in their unprecedented boxing clash just weeks ago. While Paul walked away with a decisive win, he and Tyson left the arena with big paychecks in their pockets.

Weeks after the historic event, Tyson purchased a new property worth $13 million in Palm Beach, Florida. The 58-year-old isn’t ruling out another professional boxing return after the loss to Paul.

In the meantime, Tyson and Paul share a cordial relationship after their successful night of business together. Days after Tyson’s $13 million purchase, he sent Paul a classy message on social media.

    “Today marks the anniversary of two greats bdays. Cus D’Amato and Muhammad Ali. Truly blessed to have known and loved them both,” Tyson posted.

    Just days after making his massive post-fight purchase, Tyson followed up with a ‘Happy Birthday’ message to his former opponent.

Eddie Hearn hands Tyson Fury deadline to reverse retirement and salvage Anthony Joshua fight

Eddie Hearn insists Tyson Fury must reverse his retirement in the ‘next three to four weeks’ to salvage a summer showdown with Anthony Joshua.

Fury hung up his gloves earlier this week after suffering a second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month.

Before dropping the bombshell announcement, Fury was being heavily linked with the long-awaited all-British showdown against Anthony Joshua.

However, those plans have now been put on hold.

READ MORE:Dangerous Heavyweight Being Considered For Anthony Joshua’s Next Fight Vows..

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren told talkSPORT on Monday that he believes his client’s career is over.

But Hearn is holding out hope that Fury will change his mind like he has so many times before.

The original plan was for Joshua and Fury to duke it out in the summer of 2025, although they will have to get a move on if that were to still happen.

Hearn told the Daily Mail: “None of us know what Fury will do next, but if we are to see the fight in the summer, he would probably have to come out of retirement in the next three or four weeks.

Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury

“After that, the summer gets difficult for a fight of this size.

“The future? Hopefully […] I think he will be back, but it’s in his hands.

“For AJ, we have options to pursue and we are looking at them currently.'”

If Fury does stick to his guns then Hearn has named Martin Bakole, Dillian Whyte, and Deontay Wilder as well as the winners of Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel as potential backup options for AJ next.

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh wants to see Joshua vs Wilder next if he can’t make the Fury fight while he’s also eyeing up a blockbuster showdown in Africa with Bakole as well.

“If you want something about the British markets, I want to see Joshua and Wilder now,” he told talkSPORT on Thursday.

“If Tyson is not available why not Joshua and Wilder?”

Speaking about Bakole, he then added: “We finished the deal with Bakole against the Nigerian fighter [Efe] Ajagba.

“We finished that as they must do it because this is mandatory for the IBF.

“Then after that we are open to see Joshua also against Bakole.

“I want to see this fight right. I want to see it but you know where I want to see it. I want to see it in Africa.”

Dangerous Heavyweight Being Considered For Anthony Joshua’s Next Fight Vows To KO AJ In 1 Round

Anthony Joshua‘s team have named a list of potential opponents for his ring return.

Joshua has not fought since September when he was attempting to become a three-time world champion. In the opposite corner was the in-form heavyweight ruler and IBF belt holder Daniel Dubois.

The young Brit imposed himself early on, knocked Joshua down hard at the end of the first round and then mid-way through the fifth round landing a short right hand from which ‘AJ’ was unable to recover.

It was the end of a run of victories for Joshua in which he had dispatched Otto Wallin, Francis Ngannou and Robert Helenius in impressive fashion having twice failed to beat Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022 across 24 hard-fought rounds.

READ MORE:Anthony Joshua next fight if not Tyson Fury or Daniel..

‘AJ’ had been at the top of the division for many years after also winning a Gold medal in the Olympics, so retirement is not far off.

However, the talk is that he will return to the ring, with many fans hoping that it would be for an epic showdown with fellow Brit Tyson Fury. ‘The Gypsy King’ put paid to that by retiring earlier in the week.

Speaking to Seconds Out, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn named a shortlist of opponents and confirmed Joshua will fight this summer.

“Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, Martin Bakole, I don’t know. For me, the ones that really get him up for it are Tyson Fury and the winner of Dubois against [Joseph] Parker.”

Anthony Joshua

Bakole is a top contender and is regarded by some, including himself, as the most avoided heavyweight. He beat hotly rated American prospect Jared Anderson last time out and has long chased Joshua.

Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he recently expressed his confidence in victory were that fight to happen.

“I will knock him out, first round.”

Bakole has been ordered to face Efe Ajagba in order to determine the mandatory challenger for Dubois, who puts his IBF World Title on the line on February 22 against Parker.

Deontay Wilder Sums Up Terence Crawford’s Chances Of Beating Canelo In Just 3 Words

Terence Crawford looks set to move up two weight classes from his last outing to challenge unified super-middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez

The switch-hitter from Omaha is adamant that he can overcome the difference in bulk to be just the third man to defeat Canelo, after Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol, in over 60 fights.

The fight, which once looked unlikely, gathered pace recently when boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh met with both men to discuss plans for 2025. Reports followed suggesting that the battle of the four-weight champs is agreed.

Speaking to ES News when Crawford was still at welterweight, former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder – who is set to make a ring return this year – said the jump up for Crawford is ‘way too much.’

“147 to 168? That’s way too much. Although you can switch southpaw to orthodox, when you touching those guys that are heavier, it’s a different feeling, it’s like you’re a baby.

“I’m not saying you can’t knock nobody out or put punishment on them, I just think it takes a little more time. When you go up in weight, the absorbing of the punches is a lot different than with smaller guys.”

Since that interview, Crawford has made a successful debut at super-welterweight, closing the gap slightly and becoming a WBA World Champion by beating Israil Madrimov.

The weight between the two men on the day of their last weigh-ins is now 14 pounds, still a significant amount for the American to overcome against a tough Mexican in Canelo who has dominated the 168 ranks and, though he has lost twice in his career on points, he has never been down and only significantly hurt on one or two occasions

Martin Bakole Makes His Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker Prediction After Sparring Both

Martin Bakole is an imposing heavyweight who has shared the ring with both Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois.

Bakole has long been referring to himself as ‘the most avoided heavyweight on the planet’ and there is some evidence to back that up. He has failed to land big fights despite an impressive run of victories in recent years. He handed Tony Yoka his first defeat, has stopped the likes of Carlos Takam and most recently demolished the previously unbeaten knockout merchant Jared Anderson.

With the help of an IBF order, he is not set to face Efe Ajagba in order to determine the mandatory challenger for the world title, currently held by Dubois.

READ MORE:http://Martin Bakole Makes His Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker Prediction After Sparrin

Bakole therefore has a keen eye on the Brit’s upcoming defence against former WBO champion Parker on February 22. Both men are in top form right now. Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller, Fillip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in his last three contests, while Parker is coming off points wins over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.

Speaking to Eze Talks Sports, Bakole was asked to make his prediction having sparred several rounds with both men and making huge claims that he made Dubois ‘quit’ in one of those sessions. As such, he is backing Parker for the upset.

“I think Parker will win the fight, that’s my opinion.”

Bakole confirmed that he wants the winner after he beats Ajagba, but given that an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk could be on the table for either Dubois or Parker, the Congolese heavyweight might again be left out in the cold, though he has been named as a potential opponent for Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua next fight if not Tyson Fury or Daniel Dubois? Eddie Hearn names three potential opponents

Promoter Eddie Hearn said Anthony Joshua is likely going to start training later this month ahead of a return to the ring in May or June.

Hearn had hoped Joshua’s 2025 would include a bout, or two, with Tyson Fury, but after Fury announced he retired earlier in the week, Hearn might have to look elsewhere for opponents. That list may now include Martin Bakole, who called out Joshua on social media this week, and Deontay Wilder, the slugger long linked to Joshua who yesterday confirmed his comeback.

READ MORE:http://next fight if not Tyson Fury or Daniel Dubois? Eddie Hearn names three potential opponents

“What I said was our two preferred options are Tyson Fury and the winner of [Daniel] Dubois against [Joseph] Parker [on February 22]. But, if Tyson Fury never fights again, and we don’t get the winner of Dubois-Parker, AJ is still going to fight. He’s ready to almost return to camp, he wants to fight in May or June and they asked me for some names,” Hearn told Matchroom Boxing.

“[Martin] Bakole got his back up the other day, a little bit with the call out. There could potentially be a big fight in Africa, I think that’s an unlikely fight. Deontay Wilder is a fight, I think coming off the defeat people would still love to see, if Wilder comes back with a win, looks like he’s scheduled to fight again in February. Dillian Whyte, I don’t know. These are just names I’m plucking out, because AJ will fight.”

Hearn also has not given up on the possibility of Fury-Joshua.

“We will see what happens with Tyson Fury in the meantime,” Hearn added. “I can’t see Mr Fury leaving this fight on the table.”

Daniel Dubois Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If Anthony Joshua Should Now Retire

Daniel Dubois is still riding high off his victory over Anthony Joshua.

Dubois was a much-hyped young heavyweight contender who packed a serious punch. His career was derailed early on however by taking a loss to Joe Joyce. He was forced to take a knee due to damage to his eye and was counted out, which meant many onlookers questioned

He has roared back since then and in the last year in particular has shown his courage and skill by stopping Jarrell Miller in late December 2023, then knocking out the tough Fillip Hrgovic in June.

READ MOREhttp://Daniel Dubois Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If Anthony Joshua Should Now Retire

Most recently, he once again showed his power by knocking down Joshua and then stopping the former two-time world champion inside five rounds back in September at Wembley Stadium in front of a record crowd.

Speaking to Ring Magazine, Dubois was asked what he would do if he were now in Joshua’s position.

Joshua has remained quiet on this front, but many believed he was hoping to have a legacy-defining contest with Tyson Fury, but that took a big blow when Fury announced this week he is retiring from the sport.

Anthony Joshua / Daniel Dubois

Dubois meanwhile has his hands full with a second defence of his IBF crown when he takes on former WBO champion Joseph Parker on February 22. Parker is also on a hot run right now having beaten Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, both on points, in his last two outings.

It seems likely that the winner will get a shot at undisputed against current three-belt ruler Oleksandr Usyk.

Floyd Mayweather made remarkable $300 million claim about monthly earnings with clever investment

The legendary fighter earned his ‘Money’ moniker during his boxing career, pocketing some of the biggest purses in t sport’s history including for his most famous fights  Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao

It is estimated that Mayweather generated in excess of $1.2 billion in total earnings from his professional career, a staggering number which is barely matched by any other fighter.

As a result, it has set the American icon up for a lifestyle of luxury and wealth, as well as for generations to come.

READ MORE:http://Floyd Mayweather made remarkable $300 million claim about monthly earnings with clever

Of course the money can dry up if not careful, given Mayweather retired from competitive action in 2017.

He has since been fighting in lucrative exhibitions against the likes of Logan Paul, Deji and John Gotti III but his fighting exploits are likely to be behind him entirely soon.

But it is his investments outside of the sport that are currently paying dividends, including his passion for real estate and property.

And incredibly, during an acceptance speech after being inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 2021, he suggested he makes a colossal $300 million each month.

He said: “I will continue to give back to the sport of boxing in my time, and I will also give back financially because I got it.

“To my team, my guys in New York, and my other real estate team that’s here today, we can’t be stopped.

“In 32 months, I put myself in a position with a smart business team to make $300m a month. It all started from the sport of boxing.”

Many at the time believed it may have have been a slip of the tongue from the American, who quoted the remarkable figure.

Floyd Mayweather Junior

But he later doubled down on that exact claim in a separate interview.

He added: “In 36 months of course. From one of my investments, I will be making $300 million a month.

“Just in real estate. I’m heavy in my investing in real estate. Even though I have my own cash.

“I have a lot of cash, but you don’t always have to use your money. You have to keep your credit right.”

Irrespective of the exact figure, Mayweather has completely monetised his brand and is likely one of the richest athletes in the sport’s history.

The American earned two paydays that are comparable to no other in his prime, first for his long-awaited showdown with bitter rival Pacquiao in 2015.

He pocketed a reported £230 million purse for the win, a frightening amount as the most lucrative nights came at the back end of his career.

The skillful champion also monetized a huge showdown with UFC superstar McGregor, in the final bout of his career in 2017.

He cruised to a routine win and earned another reported £230 million for the huge fight.

Mayweather promoted himself and gathered a huge team around him, allowing him to pursue the most money-spinning night available.

The legend now owns a boxing promotion of his own in Mayweather Promotions, and has an array of businesses.

Evander Holyfield Didn’t Hesitate To Name Who Would Have Won Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Fight

Evander Holyfield has weighed in on a potential Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury clash as many in the sport still believe it takes place this year.

This all-British match up has been marinating for a number of years as both boxers fought their way to the top to become world champions with different governing bodies.

It was also one that many fight fans and boxing insiders were predicting would happen this year. It seemed to be the natural next step after both came unstuck in their most recent outings and were rather left with nowhere else to go.

READ MORE:http://Name Who Would Have Won Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Fight

Joshua was defeated via knockout by IBF King Daniel Dubois back in September while attempting to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, and Fury lost for a second consecutive time to the great Oleksandr Usyk.

Although no belts would be on the line, it would be a fight about pride, legacy, and British bragging rights. However, Fury threw a spanner in the works by announcing he was retiring from the sport earlier this week.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Former cruiser and heavyweight champion Holyfield was asked who would come out on top if the two do square off in the ring.\

TysonFury-AnthonyJoshua

“That would be a good fight. Both guys fight pretty much the same but I think Tyson, Tyson Fury, he’s a type of guy who can make an adjustment and out think him.”

Whether or not Fury, who has retired several times before only to return to the ring, goes though with this latest announcement is yet to be seen. Many still hope the epic fight with Joshua can be made this year.
