By Allan Fox: In what has to be seen as Showtime looking to create interested in a unification fight between WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and IBF champion Anthony Joshua, Wilder will be working as a guest analyst this Saturday night on June 25 for Joshua’s title defense against Dominic Breazeale on Showtime.

A match between Joshua and Wilder would be a huge fight and would likely bring in tremendous ratings both in the U.S an in the UK. It would be a shot in the arm of adrenalin for Showtime and Premier Boxing Champions having that fight take place.

Joshua vs. Breazeale: Whyte faces Bacurin on undercard

whyte555

By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13 KOs) now yet another replacement opponent that he’ll be fighting this Saturday night on June 25 in journeyman Ivica Bacurin (24-9-1, 14 KOs) in a six-round fight on the undercard of the title fight between IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale at the O2 Arena in London, UK. I don’t expect Bacurin to last more than a round or two against Whyte. The only way this fight goes past the 2nd round is if Whyte wants it to.

Whyte was originally supposed to be fighting Cyril Leonet, but then he couldn’t take the fight and was replaced by 39-year-old American journeyman Danny Batchelder. That fight now isn’t happening either, so the 33-year-old Bacurin gets the call for the fight.

Joshua: I’ve got to put an end to Breazeale’s dreams

joshua8

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) has a tough task ahead of him on Saturday night in defending his IBF strap against an equally big 6’7”, 255lbs challenger Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Not only is Breazeale equally big, but he hits about as hard as Joshua. This is a fight where either of these guys can win the fight, although Joshua has to be considered the favorite going in given his hometown advantage. With that said, Breazeale seems to be the more mature of the two, and seems to have a real keen eye with his observations.

Joshua vs. Breazeale: Dominic to take Anthony into deep waters

1-joshua (1)

By Scott Gilfoid: I hope IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) is ready for a long haul fight on Saturday night, because unbeaten American Dominic “Trouble” Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) plans on dragging him into the deeper waters and drown him in front of his own fans at the O2 Arena in London, England.

17,000 fans are expected to show up on Saturday night for the Joshua-Breazeale fight, and pretty much all of them will be rooting for Joshua. Yeah, there might be a small handful of Breazeale fans, but not enough for them to be over the roar of the crowd. Breazeale is going to be an island out there surrounded by Joshua fans singing, cheering and maybe even booing depending on the amount of success Breazeale has in the contest.

Fury says Joshua’s opponent Breazeale is “Another knock-over”

joshua567787

By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury doesn’t think too much of IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s opponent 2012 U.S Olympian Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs), who he’ll be facing this Saturday night on June 25 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Fury sees the big 6’7” Breazeale as another one of Joshua’s soft touch opponents that is brought over to the UK so that he can bowl them over and look better than he actually is.

Fury doesn’t think it’s helping Joshua to be fighting stiffs one after another instead of talented fighters that can give him rounds and teach him things he’ll need to know when he starts facing the cream of the heavyweight division.

Breazeale: Anthony Joshua is in for a war!

1-Dominic Breazeale_Media Workout_009

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten American Dominic “Trouble” Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) says he’s going to be in the UK looking to kick some backside on June 25, when he challenges IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, England. This the 26-year-old Joshua’s maiden title defense of his IBF strap, and it’s one of those situations where anything can go wrong.

First off, Joshua is fighting a guy with more height than him in 6’7” Breazeale, and he’s dealing with a fighter with punching power similar to his own. Breazeale is a knockout artist, and Joshua is a guy that slugs at every opportunity. Joshua hasn’t learned yet that he can’t win every war because all it takes is one punch from a giant heavyweight and it’s over with.

Breazeale talks Joshua fight: “Whoever lands first will win”

1-Dominic Breazeale_Media Workout_011

By Allan Fox: Unbeaten heavyweight Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) is giving himself a good chance of beating IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) in their fight on June 25 at the O2 Arena in London, England. Breazeale isn’t too worried about being an underdog in this fight with the oddsmakers.

Breazeale believes that the fight with the 2012 Olympic gold medalist Joshua comes down to whichever guy lands first, and he plans on getting to Joshua first rather than waiting for him to connect with one of his big rights, Joshua’s last opponent Charles Martin waited too long to throw his own punches and got knocked out in the 2nd round last December.

Joshua: I want all the belts!

1-JOSHUATRAINING18

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) says he wants to capture all of the world titles, and he’s not satisfied with his career as it is right now with him having won only one of the four titles in the division. For Joshua to capture all the belts, he’ll need to defeat the winner of the July 9 fight between IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos).

Joshua will also need to defeat WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs). That’s not going to be easy because The 6’7” Wilder is taller, faster and a bigger puncher than Joshua. Wilder doesn’t back up against the ropes like most of Joshua’s opponents do.
