By Jeff Aranow: Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) retained his IBF/WBA heavyweight titles with a premature 10th round stoppage over his replacement opponent #3 IBF Carlos Takam (35-4-1, 27 KOs) on Saturday night on Sky Box Office PPV and Showtime Boxing from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The official time of the stoppage was at 1:34 of round 10.
By Scott Gilfoid: A bulked up 254 pound IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) insists his career high weight won’t impede his performance tonight against 36-year-old challenger Carlos Takam (35-3-1, 27 KOs) in their fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Title sponsors of this weekend’s Anthony Joshua vs Carlos Takem fight, William Hill, make the IBF, WBA and IBO World Heavyweight Champion 1/33 to win with his opponent 11/1 and the draw 33/1.
Hills are expecting up to £10m could be wagered on this fight, which is a 78,000 sell-out at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
By Juan Flores: In a sign that Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) hasn’t learned his lesson from his last fight against Wladimir Klitschko, he weighed in at 254 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in for his title defense of his IBF/WBA heavyweight belts against challenger Carlos Takam (35-3-1, 27 KOs) on Saturday night at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder is ready to fight #3 WBC Dillian Whyte if the contract for the fight states that he’ll get the unification fight against IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua directly after that.
By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) thinks he can stay on top of the heavyweight division for the next 10 years, as long as he stays disciplined during that stretch. IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Joshua is currently 27-years-old, and he’s coming off of a less than outstanding performance against 41-year-old Wladimir Klitschko on April 29.
By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Eddie Hearn says he’s going to sweeten the $3 million offer to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) for him to accept a fight against #3 WBC Dillian Whyte (21-1, 16 KOs) for February 3rd at the O2 Arena in London, England.
By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua is very hopeful that he can face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder in 2018, as he believes a fight against him could wind up being bigger than his April 29 match against Wladimir Klitschko earlier this year. Joshua vs. Klitschko sold out the 80,000 seat Wembley Stadium in London, England.
By Juan Flores: In a sign of how desperate IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) is to fight former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), he says he would be willing to fight the 29-year-old even if he weighed 40 stone, which is 560 lbs. Joshua says he’d fight Fury if he can move around the ring, because the boxing fans would be still willing to watch the two of them.
