joshua88776

By Scott Gilfoid: In less than two weeks, IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) will be putting his title and unbeaten record on the line against undefeated #13 IBF challenger Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) on June 25 on Sky Box Office from the O2 Arena in London, England.

Breazeale, 6’7”, was probably been selected because of him being an unbeaten American with 2012 Olympic experience. It’s common knowledge that Joshua recently signed a multi-fight contract with Showtime Boxing in the United States to have his fights televised in that country.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten contender Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) says IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) is a muscle-bound fighter, and he believes his huge muscles are going to wind up being his downfall when the two of them face each other on June 25 at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

Breazeale notes that fighters with overly muscled physiques tend to struggle over the duration of fights because they’re large muscles require a lot of oxygen to keep them moving.

By Scott Gilfoid: Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) has two names in mind in who he wants to fight if he can get past IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) on June 25 this month at the O2 Arena in London, England. Breazeale wants to face WBC champion Deontay Wilder and IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a unification fight if the two of them are still champions after their next fights.

Wilder defends his WBC title against Chris Arreola on July 16. Fury will be defending his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Dominic Breazeale promises blood for Anthony Joshua fight

breazeale8

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten #13 IBF heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) has knocked out 15 of his 17 opponents during his short four-year pro career. Only two fighters, Nagy Aguilera and Fred Kassi, have been able to go the distance with Breazeale. On June 25, Breazeale promises there will be red blood in the ring when he faces IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs), and I don’t think it’s his own blood that he has in mind.

Breazeale plans on giving Joshua a royal thrashing in the ring in front of his own 20,000 fans at the O2 Arena in London, England. There will also be a mess of fans watching the fight on Showtime Championship Boxing in the U.S and on Sky Box Office PPV in the UK.

Breazeale says he’s going to shock the world by knocking out Joshua and bringing his title back to the United States. If Joshua wants the belt back, he’ll need to come to American to fight him for it, says Breazeale.

Breazeale: I have Joshua worried and flustered

joshua88776By Scott Gilfoid: Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) believes he won round one in his meeting with IBF heavyweight champion Antony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) today in London ahead of their fight next month on June 25. The two fighters had a couple of face offs, and during the first one, Joshua got upset at some of the things Breazeale said and with the way he was crowding him.

Breazeale noticed how flustered Joshua appeared, and he feels that the 6’6” fighter is scared because he now knows that he’s going to be in for a real dog fight on June 25 when the two of them face each other at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Anthony Joshua gets agitated during face off with Breazeale

joshua81112by Scott Gilfoid: American challenger Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) had IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) about to blow his top earlier Wednesday during their face off in London to promote their June 25 fight on Sky Box Office at the O2 Arena in London.

The two fighters were posing for photographs when the friction started. They turned around and had a face off, and during this time, Breazeale had some words with the 6’6” Joshua that got him hopping made. In analyzing the two fighters body language, I think Joshua looked scared. He seemed unnerved completely with the words and the icy cool coming from the big 6’7” Breazeale.

Showtime signs Anthony Joshua to multi-fight deal

BOXINGBy Scott Gilfoid: Well, as I already predicted in my article yesterday, Showtime Sports has signed British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) to a multi-fight deal with their network. Showtime head honcho Stephen Espinoza made the announcement on Wednesday at the luxurious Hilton Syon Park in London.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn was present during the announcement, of course. The first fight of the multi-fight deal with Showtime for Joshua will be televised next month with Joshua defending his IBF heavyweight title against American Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The fight piped into the U.S in the afternoon on Showtime on that date, which probably means that the ratings won’t be as high as they would be if the fight were to be televised at night when there are fewer sports events taking place.

Dillian Whyte possible for Joshua-Breazeale undercard

whyte555By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn says heavyweight Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13 KOs) could be added to the June 25th undercard for the Anthony Joshua vs. Dominic Breazeale card at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

Whyte, 28, is coming off shoulder surgery on his left shoulder from last December. He’ll be meeting with a doctor next week to determine whether his surgically repaired left shoulder will be ready by June 25th or not. That’s only two months away. Hearn didn’t say whether Whyte’s fight would be on the televised portion of the card on Sky Box Office PPV.

Hearn already has the super middleweight fight between George Groves and Martin Murray pegged as the co-feature bout despite the fact that both of these fighters were recently beaten in failed title fights. Hearn thinks that a fight between Groves and Murray could sellout the O2 Arena in it’s own.
