The fiancee of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi is pleading with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to turn down a potentially "shameful" deal with Saudi Arabia to host the fight of the century. Hatice Cengiz told
The Telegraph that accepting a potential £100million-plus offer would present the crown prince, accused over his alleged role in her partner's killing, with a "reward for his crimes".

Shortly after expressing his frustration with the opposition's contributions to negotiations, Eddie Hearn claimed there are multiple venues ready and willing to host the big fight in July.
Eddie Hearn says venues in the Middle East are ready to host Anthony Joshua's heavyweight unification fight against Tyson Fury.
Hearn has recently spoken out about negative comments made by Fury and his team during negotiations, going as far as to suggest that it makes it look as though the WBC champion doesn't actually want the fight to happen, as well as hinting that it feels like he is trying to finalise the clash all by himself.

Chris Arreola admits that he was proud as he watched Andy Ruiz Jr. become the first fighter of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight world title. The aforementioned Ruiz Jr. took down the heavily favored Anthony Joshua in their June showdown in 2019.
Following the win, the fame and notoriety went straight to the head of Ruiz Jr. The newly crowned champ spent most of his time making the rounds on television talk shows and guzzling drinks as opposed to working hard in the gym to protract his title reign. Ruiz Jr.’s lack of preparation led to a one-sided defeat in the rematch with Joshua six months later.

The word on the street－actually, on social media－is that Mike Tyson may get in the ring with Evander Holyfield for a third time. Right now, Holyfield's ears are safe but there's money to be made, and if there was ever a pair of heavyweights who needed a lucrative second career it's the two former champions.

The word on the street — actually, on social media — is that Mike Tyson may get in the ring with Evander Holyfield for a third time. Right now, Holyfield’s ears are safe but there’s money to be made and if there was ever a pair of heavyweights who needed a lucrative second career it’s the two former champions.
Not to be outdone, Oscar De La Hoya says he plans to fight again at the age of 48, too. Apparently, De La Hoya has forgotten the terrible beating Manny Pacquiao gave him in his last real fight 13 years ago and plans to enter the ring July 3 against an opponent to be named later.

Ruiz says he’s learned his lesson by slacking off in the past but won’t be making that same mistake again.

CARSON, CALIF. (March 30, 2021) – Former unified heavyweight world champion Andy “The Destroyer” Ruiz Jr. and all-action heavyweight Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola previewed their heavyweight showdown during a virtual press conference Tuesday before they battle in a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View main event Saturday, May 1 from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California,
The pay-per-view action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will see this clash between two Mexican-American heavyweights top a jam-packed all-Mexican boxing extravaganza. The stacked pay-per-view undercard co-feature will see former world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa, Jr. clash with Abel Ramos in a 12-round welterweight bout. Sensational super welterweight contender Sebastián “The Towering Inferno’’ Fundora takes on hard-hitting Jorge “El Demonio’’ Cota in a 12-round battle and rising welterweight star Jesús Ramos, Jr. duels U.S. Olympian Javier “El Intocable” Molina for 10-rounds of welterweight action.

It was revenge for Dillian Whyte on Saturday night as he rocked Alexander Povetkin to claim the interim WBC heavyweight world title. Real success came at the beginning of the fourth round for Whyte who had the Russian trembling on his legs. Two minutes later and Whyte had his man wobbling again. Povetkin was unstable, he hit the canvas, and Victor Loughlin had seen enough, waving the contest off just as the towel flew in from the Russian corner.
A world title shot for Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) seems unlikely anytime soon with Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk vs Joe Joyce supposedly getting the go ahead. With that in mind, it’s hard to see how Whyte can force himself into the situation but here’s three names that could see him do just that.

Quality, not quantity, is the watchword for New Mexico at the upcoming USA Boxing National Championships in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Steve Garcia, chairman of the national amateur governing board’s New Mexico organization, said in a telephone interview that perhaps nine boxers from the state are entered.
Nationals originally were scheduled for December but were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We had a lot more (in December), but then they cancelled it,” Garcia said. “The gyms got closed down.”

Nonetheless, New Mexico’s prospects for podium finishes are good. Two young fighters from Las Cruces, Ariana Carrasco and Joscelyn Olayo-Munoz, bring impressive credentials to Shreveport.

Like most of the boxing world, Eddy Reynoso, trainer of pound for pound star Canelo Alvarez, finds a matchup between WBO welterweight belt holder Terence Crawford and unified champion Errol Spence Jr. very intriguing.
The two have long been considered the best at 147 pounds but have yet to sit down at the negotiating table to work on a deal. Regardless of the pent up demand for their showdown, both sides are far and away from making their dream bout a reality.
Although Reynoso views them both as extremely skilled and accomplished fighters, Crawford ranks slightly higher in his mind.

Two ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ showdowns
Both Joshua and Fury are in the prime of their careers and the contrast in the style and character of the two men will guarantee the eyes of the boxing world will be on both meetings.
Speculation about the location of the first fight is already rife, and promoter Eddie Hearn has Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, China, London and Las Vegas as venues on his not so shortlist.
Wherever it takes place, it is set to be the biggest fight between two British boxers in the sport’s history, with the International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organisation, World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council heavyweight titles being unified.

Saudi Arabia is expected to table an offer in the region of £150 million to host the fight of the century between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The pair will also share around £95m in pay-per-view fees in a potential split with four major broadcasters as part of the biggest deal in British boxing history.

The contract for a two-fight deal between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight titles has finally been signed.

It has never happened in the four-belt era, and the last person to be called the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world was also a Brit -- Boxing Hall of Famer Lennox Lewis, who was last recognized as such in 2000.
There are many questions yet to be answered, and many more that will come up in the lead-up to the fight. But for now, Ben Baby, Nick Parkinson, Eric Woodyard and Michael Rothstein break down everything you need to know about Joshua-Fury to let you know what's real, and what's not.
This is the biggest fight in British boxing history -- and the biggest fight of 2021

Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua Agree To Two-Fight Deal To Unify Heavyweight Titles
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally fight one another.
After Fury TKO’d Deontay Wilder in February of 2020, many fans wanted to see him face Joshua. However, recently, Fury revealed negotiations were stalling and he turned his attention to the trilogy with Deontay Wilder.
Now, according to ESPN, Fury and Joshua have agreed to a two-fight deal to unify the heavyweight belt. The hope is to have both fights in 2021 and according to Eddie Hearn, the location and date will be announced soon.
“We’d like to get a site deal confirmed in the next month,” Eddie Hearn said to ESPN, managing director of Matchroom Sport, Joshua’s promoter. “The hard part is always getting everybody to put pen to paper. But this was a major effort from all parties to get this over the line. You had rival promoters, rival networks and rival fighters.”

We are closer to the biggest one of them all.

A financial bargain for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury has been struck, says Eddie Hearn

It appears as if boxing fans are getting the heavyweight title unification they desire, and it will reportedly take place over multiple fights.

The biggest fight in boxing might finally happen.
