    It would be a great fight at this time for him and it looked all but signed not that long ago but it seems Joyce is going in a different direction. He's due to fight Marco Huck next

    Dubois looks slow and cumbersome to me. He certainly smacks hard, but it'll be interesting to see what happens when his whiskers get tested by someone decent. He's there for the hitting.

    I actually disagree with you. I think he looks more measured rather than slow. He shots are more compact and he picks them better than he used to.
    That said, when he steps in he leaves himself open and is a primed for a good counter puncher.

    The Gervonta Davis - Yuriorkis Gamboa weighin and face off. Davis ended up making weight but lost his cool at the face off. He'll probably have an easy win, but his childish antics when putting hands on Gamboa won't win him extra fans.

    I hope the Wilder / Fury winner fights James Cordon next.

    According to the usually reliable Mike Coppinger, Canelo's May 2 opponent is likely to be Billy Joe Saunders.

    The AJ and Pulev camps have asked the IBF for an extension on their negotiations. They've asked for it to be extended to the end of January. So it looks as though the 38 year Bulgarian will be the next cab off the rank for Joshua.

    Will the WBO now strip AJ?

    I think he's pretty pissed with Wilder and the WBC. Whyte sat at No 1 with them for a couple of years and couldn't get within a bull's roar of Wilder, then the WBC took his ranking before he was found guilty of doping. The WBC have since reinstated him but he still seems at least a year away from a shot at the champ.

    It looks more like a rivalry between Hayman's Professional Boxing Champions and Hearn's Matchroom. PBC only have Wilder's WBC belt, while Matchroom has Joshua's IBF, WBA, WBO & IBO titles. With Joshua now having to choose between dropping his WBO or IBF belts and choosing to defend his IBF against Pulev, it looks as though the then vacant WBO title will probably be fought between two Matchroon fighters Usyk and probably Parker. If so, and Joshua beats Pulev, then Matchroom will still have all the belts except for the one held by Wilder. And I don't think Hayman or the WBC want to risk losing that belt against a Matchroom fighter in the shape of Whyte.

    It looks like Dillian Whyte has been a long time victim of boxing politics. I think he's just had enough and is willing to try anything to draw out Wilder.

    Today, the screaming hot 1-25 favourite Julian Williams put his WBA, IBF & IBO World Super Welterweight Titles on the line against despised outsider Jeison Rosario.

    Full fight.

    World Boxing News has stated that Canelo Alvarez's next fight will be against Billy Joe Saunders. It expected to take place at the MGM Grand on May 2. Canelo seems to like punching Brits. To date he's beaten Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes, Amir Khan, Liam Smith and Rocky Fielding.

    Im looking forward to finally see what BJS is all about if the story is true.
    I remember watching the Hatton fight. This young and highly touted ginger kid on the road to stardom.Matthew put up a helluva fight as well.

    Same here. I really like Billy Joe and think he's very good but has yet to show us what he's truly got. His performance here should answer the question

    Eddie Hearn and De La Hoya are now pouring cold water on a proposed fight. So who knows?

    I think BJS should be fighting Danny Jacobs. I love the guy and he is world class, but not elite.
    He Is the benchmark to become an elite fighter. Get through him and you have truly proved that you belong at the highest echelons.
