Anthony Joshua’s either trying something new, or that good Texas barbecue is a new friend of his from training camp, because the former heavyweight titlist came in at a career-high weight for Saturday’s fight with Jermaine Franklin. Joshua weighed in at 255¼, just a little over his previous heaviest weigh-in number of 254, when he

ANTHONY JOSHUA was contemplating and discussing the potential freedom he’ll be able to relish in retirement when Dereck Chisora entered the room he was sitting in to show his face. Whether or not the timing of Chisora’s arrival and the juxtaposition between them registered with him remained unclear. Chisora, 39 years old and jeopardising his

7:48 AM ET Mike CoppingerESPN Anthony Joshua’s likeness was plastered on the exterior walls of New York’s Madison Square Garden in larger-than-life form ahead of his hotly anticipated U.S. debut in June 2019. Joshua, of Watford, England, then one of the sport’s top-two global stars alongside Canelo Alvarez, already had conquered Europe and now was
It’s a new month and a new pound-for-pound list! It’s very slightly different but not really! Wait a minute — hold the phone! Katie, bar the door! We’ve got a new number one! Did anything really happen? No! But something didn’t happen — it’ll make sense when you get down there and read some more.

AS well as the possibility of seeing it actually happen, much of the appeal of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk coming to some sort of agreement regarding an April 29 heavyweight fight was that, in doing so, Fury promised to begin a social media blackout and focus exclusively on training. Of course, given it was
IT WOULD be nice to write about something other than the failure of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to agree terms, but, having followed the saga closely in recent weeks, it seems only right to report on the bitter end. Where the blame lies is perhaps irrelevant and frankly difficult to decipher when reporters are
Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua admits that his upcoming fight with Jermaine Franklin is the last chance to rebuild his career. Joshua collides with Franklin on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London. The British superstar is looking to recover after suffering back to back defeats at the hands of unified champion Oleksandr
IT IS entertaining to think what would have happened if Anthony Joshua had to pick from Angelo Dundee, Lou Duva, Eddie Futch or Richie Giachetti.

If you ask people today, most would recognize Rocky Lockridge by face more than by name.

Devin Haney claimed Thursday that he is a level above Vasiliy Lomachenko, and not just based on subjective placement on pound-for-pound lists. The 24-year-old Haney conceded that the three-division champion remains “a good fighter,” just not as good as the undefeated, undisputed lightweight champ. Haney made his proclamation as he and Lomachenko sat just a
