Anthony Joshua boxing news
By Harry Rowland: This Saturday 29th April, IBF Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua 18-0 (18) defends against former unified champion Wladimir Klitschko 64-4 (53) at Wembley Stadium, London, England, in front of a sold out capacity, and post war record crowd of 90,000. Also on the table, the vacant WBA Super and slowly recognizable IBO titles.
By Scott Gilfoid: Peter Fury, the trainer for former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, thinks Anthony Joshua must come out quickly out of the blocks and turn his fight against Wladimir Klitschko into a “street fight” in order to beat him this Saturday night in their fight in London, England. Tyson Fury beat Wladimir using trickery with fighting defensively in their match 2 years ago in 2015.
By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, the older brother of former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko, says he must “dominate” IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua this Saturday night for him to win at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Vitali doesn’t want the 41-year-old Wladimir to wait and be passive against the younger 27-year-old Joshua, because he feels there will be no second chances for him due to his advanced age.
By Rob Blakeman: I can remember very well getting up early on a Sunday morning back in March 2003 for what I thought might be an interesting fight and then spilling my breakfast cereal as I watched incredulously as Corrie Sanders did a two round demolition job on the WBO World Heavyweight Champion Vladimir Klitschko in a fight that voted Ring Magazine Upset of the year.
By Andy Hill: If one had to choose a single word to describe Anthony Joshua’s professional boxing career, the word fast would not be far from the top of the list. It took Joshua only sixteen fights to capture a recognized world heavyweight championship belt. Including the two fights that have since followed, on Saturday 29th April, when the bell sounds to signify the beginning of the first round, it will be only 45th round that Joshua has tasted as a professional.
By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua wants to fight another 10 years beyond his fight against Wladimir Klitschko in a little over a week from now. According to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, the 27-year-old Joshua wants to fight 10 more years before he wraps up his boxing career. Obviously, Joshua has the size and power to fight 10 more or even 15 years if he wants. But I think it’s going to require some very, very skillful match-making by Hearn to keep him on top.
By Scott Gilfoid: 2016 British Olympic Silver medalist Joe Joyce says he’s been the leading sparring partner for IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in getting him ready for his big money title defense against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The big 6’6” Joyce was asked on Thursday if it’s true what Tyson Fury said on his Twitter about hearing that he’s been battering Joshua during their sparring sessions.
By Gerardo Granados: On April 29 at the Wembley Stadium London, UK, the IBF belt holder Anthony Joshua fights against the former heavyweight Champion of the World Wladimir Klitschko. A young talented lion will fight against the old Dragon who held hostage the heavyweight division for over a decade. All respect to the veteran Wladimir, who chose the hardest foe for his comeback after his rematch against his conqueror Tyson Fury fell apart due bizarre circumstances.
By Allan Fox: Former four division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner was reportedly discovered driving an SUV filled with bullet holes early Thursday morning in Cincinnati, Ohio, and he was subsequently arrested for an outstanding warrant, according to Fox19. The 27-year-old Broner was booked at 1:18 a.m. He was later released approximately 4 hours later at 5:10 a.m.
By Scott Gilfoid: Dillian Whyte doesn’t see IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) as a solid lock to defeat 41-year-old former heavyweight title holder Wladimir “Steelhammer” Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in their fight this month on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Whyte, 29, says Joshua doesn’t have a great chin, and he doesn’t handle getting hit back very well.
