Tyson Fury has a massive advantage over Anthony Joshua, according to a former world champion, who believes ‘The Gypsy King’ would get the better of a potential showdown.
While the pair are no longer at the pinnacle of the sport, the rivalry between them remains as fierce as ever.
Having conquered the world of boxing himself, Anthony Crolla knows all about what it takes to win monster fights. With that in mind, he’s the perfect person to give his take on what would be the biggest bout in British history.
In an exclusive interview with Sporf, via Free Bets, the former WBA lightweight champion explained: “I still think there’s a great chance it happens. The fight isn’t what it once was, but there’s no denying it’s an absolute mega fight still, and sells out any stadium around the world, whether it’s Old Trafford or Wembley. It’s one of the biggest fights in boxing.
“Going off recent form, you’ve got to fancy Tyson Fury, but Tyson is going to have a big break—obviously the weight is going to fluctuate, go up, he’s going to have to bring it back down—that probably makes it more of a level playing field.
“But I just think stylistically, Fury’s movement will cause Big AJ problems and I’d say Tyson wins via late stoppage or points.”
In his esteemed career, ‘Million Dollar’ gave the Manchester fans many a happy memory. Most notably, Crolla destroyed Ismael Barroso, who was renowned as one of the biggest punchers in boxing.
Now, with his legacy carved in stone, the retired athlete has started to pass his wisdom down to the next generation, taking a group of fighters, including his brother William Crolla, out to Benidorm to enhance their skills.
While most travel to the Spanish tourist destination to party and enjoy Take That tribute acts, the ex-world champion and his boxers have been working harder than ever as they prepare for their returns to the ring.
Crolla enthused, “William is good, he had two fights in six weeks. He had a little holiday himself after that, so he’s come back and he’s straight back into it, looking to improve. He had a really good learning fight last time out, and he’s getting better all the time.
“He’s alongside Bobby Faulkner and Callum Bradley, who’ve got fights coming up, so they’re at a very serious part of camp. It’s nice for fighters to get away, a change of scenery.
“I always got told by my coach, ‘You learn a lot more about your fighters when you’re away with them, because you see how they are away from the gym’.”
“Everyone Watching…Don’t Do This”: Anthony Joshua’s New Workout Video Leaves Fans Concerned
Former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has surprised fans with a new training clip that hints at a renewed focus and intensity. The British star is coming off a lopsided defeat to Daniel Dubois in September of last year—a setback that left many questioning his future. Despite the loss, hopes for a long-awaited all-British showdown with the now-retired Tyson Fury continue to linger among boxing fans.
However, instead of filling people with confidence about his boxing capability at the tail end of his boxing career, Joshua’s new workout video seems to have sent fans into a state of worry. This comes after Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, showed openness to making the Fury fight on a moment’s notice. Yet, there doesn’t seem to be any development on that front, besides Joshua’s latest video.
Why did Anthony Joshua cause concerns with his training clip?
In a clip shared by Boxing Kingdom on X, captioned “Anthony Joshua working on his neck strength over the weekend,” the Watford native is seen performing an intense neck exercise, neck bridges, as part of his training routine. Bent over backwards on the ground, Joshua supports most of his body weight on his head, rocking back and forth in a strenuous effort to build neck strength.
Others, including Canelo Alvarez, are known to do similar workouts in their training camp. While these workouts can be safe when done correctly with proper form and moderation, there are risks involved that can cause injuries to the cervical spine, muscles, or nerves. The exercise itself helps strengthen a fighter’s neck, which can increase stability, improve posture, reduce the risk of neck injuries, and improve range of motion, among others.
Despite the potential benefits, however, fans quickly started expressing caution in the comment section of the post.
Fans suggest Joshua needs to work on another part of his body
Since the clip came to light, hundreds of fans flooded the comments to share their thoughts. One user didn’t seem to be a big fan of the workout. “This workout hurts athletes more than it helps them btw, just letting everyone know,” the user wrote. However, Joshua has been a trained athlete for decades and is performing the exercise under professional supervision, ensuring that it’s done safely and with proper technique.
Meanwhile, this user had a message of caution for his fellow X users. “For everyone watching…don’t do this 😅,” the user commented. It goes without saying, the exercise involves risk, which could cause major bodily harm.
The next user ignored the neck workout and suggested what Joshua really needs to work on. “[He] needs to work on his defence and movement,” the user wrote. This is likely a response rooted in Joshua’s performance against Dubois, where ‘AJ’ was dropped multiple times en route to a brutal knockout loss.
Another user suggests Joshua should focus on his chin instead. “Does he know any chin exercises?” the user wrote. This once again highlights Joshua’s vulnerability, particularly his glass chin, which contributed to the multiple knockdowns in his fight with Dubois.
Even the next user asked Joshua to focus on his chin. “Hmm, can he find a way to fix that weak jaw of his?” the user wrote. While the exercise might not help Joshua’s chin, it can help reduce the damage his neck may take from a knockout.
That said, Anthony Joshua doesn’t inspire confidence in fans with his neck exercise. However, it would be interesting to see whether they help him win if he ever plans to return to the ring. What did you think about the workout?
Roy Jones Jr. Delivers Blunt Message for Jake Paul After Mike Tyson’s Warning Over Future Fight
To mention Jake Paul and Roy Jones Jr. in the same breath should be a felony in boxing circles. Remember when Roy Jones Jr. was steamrolling the competition with a 34-fight win streak and tasted his first career loss against Montell Griffin after an extremely controversial disqualification, only for Roy to come back five months later and knock him in the very first round? That’s not just a comeback. That’s a statement! Fast forward to today, and we’ve got Jake Paul, who traded YouTube pranks for punching bags, turning the sweet science into something that looks more like a WWE promo. Ring IQ? Optional. Showmanship? Mandatory.
In case it slipped under your radar, these polar opposites actually shared a stage back in 2020. That was when Roy Jones Jr. stepped into the ring with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson for an exhibition bout, while down on the undercard, Jake Paul fought Nate Robinson for the latter’s pro debut. Fast-forward to now, and the boxing world’s done a full 360. Mike Tyson, who went toe-to-toe with Paul just last year, tipped his hat to the YouTuber-turned-boxer, admitting The Problem Child can pack a punch. But Roy Jones Jr.? He’s not drinking the Kool-Aid.
Jones suspected the 58-year-old may have pulled his punches. And in a recent interview, Roy made it crystal clear what he really thinks of Jake Paul. Just a few days ago, the boxing legend sat down with BRAD LEA TV for a candid interview. When asked whether today’s boxing landscape feels like a new game altogether, the 66-10 icon didn’t hesitate. “Yes, new game,” Jones said. “Now, it’s about the fame game. The fame, notoriety, and money game. Because of social media, the more famous you can get, the more notoriety you can get, the more money you can make.” But that’s not all.
In his view, boxing is no longer about being the best in the ring, but about who can generate the most buzz outside it. “It’s not about being the best. They don’t care who the best is no more,” he lamented. Instead, “It’s about who can make the most noise, who can get the most followers, who can make the most money.”
And who better to help exemplify his point than Jake Paul? The 56-year-old pointed out, “Look at Jake Paul. He’s making more money than almost all of them.” Further adding, “If it weren’t for Turki [Alalshikh], he’d be making more money than all the fighters,” crediting the Saudi advisor for upping fighter pay across the board. “If it wasn’t for Turki [Alalshikh] stepping in and paying them, he’d be making more money than everybody because of his notoriety and fame.”
You see, the exact fame game nearly earned Jake Paul a bout with Canelo Alvarez, too. But thanks to HE Turki Alalshikh, Canelo took a different route by signing a staggering four-fight deal worth $400 million. That move left Jake Paul to fight Julio César Chávez Jr. on June 28th at Honda Center in Anaheim, this time streamed on DAZN pay-per-view, not Netflix.
Anyway, while Roy Jones Jr. believes Jake Paul represents the newer, more fame and money-centered shift in boxing, Mike Tyson actually shared some advice for the multiple world champion in case of a potential future fight with Jake Paul.
Jake Paul is a tough cookie
Last year, after Mike Tyson suffered a rough loss to Jake Paul, he appeared on the debut episode of Covino & Rich on Fox Sports Radio. A few minutes into the show, host Steve Covino asked: “Speaking of rumors, there was a rumor today that one of your buddies that you fought not too long ago, Roy Jones Jr., said that he wants to maybe test it out with Jake Paul.”
At 56, Jones is just a couple of years younger than Mike Tyson, which makes the idea of stepping into the ring with a 28-year-old all the more daring. So, Tyson’s response? “He’s fast enough, though. Yeah, Roy, if Roy’s training, Roy could still do a lot of stuff. He has to be training, though. You have to be training.” But considering Jones Jr.’s last pro bout, where he lost by majority decision to former UFC champion Anthony Pettis, it’s fair to wonder if stepping in with Paul is the best move for the boxing veteran.
Still, Jones isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. Speaking to TMZ after Jake Paul’s fight with Tyson in November, he made his intentions clear. “I wouldn’t mind just having a shot to see; could I get to his chin to test his chin… If he takes the shot, then cool, or if he can catch me before I get to his chin, cool. But I would definitely like a shot.”
If that wasn’t enough, in another interview with BoxingScene, Jones brushed off concerns about the age gap, saying, “He will probably have to take me out because I’m coming to knock him out. I’m going to get him, or he’s going to get me.” So with that said, can Roy Jones Jr. still go toe-to-toe with Jake Paul? Or is Mike Tyson right to urge caution? What do you think?

Who Is Claressa Shields Dating? Everything to Know About the Undefeated Professional Boxer
Claressa Shields is one of the best in the professional boxing world. The female boxer is only 29 years old, yet has already left an indescribable mark on the sport. Shields won her last match against Danielle Perkins, becoming the first ever undisputed women’s heavyweight champion. The boxer recently had a movie release, showcasing her origin story. The movie, titled “The Fire Inside” starred Ryan Destiny and covered everything from her humble beginnings through her rise to basketball fame.
Here’s everything you should know about the professional boxer’s life outside the sport.
Is Claressa Shields in a Relationship?
Shields’s personal life is subject to intense scrutiny and curiosity. She recently opened up about her relationship with rapper Papoose.
The boxer and rapper’s connection became public in late 2024 amid Papoose’s separation from his estranged wife, Remy Ma. Despite the public scrutiny, Shields has expressed profound appreciation for Papoose’s unique support and understanding. She described their bond as transformative, highlighting how his encouragement differs from her past experiences. Shields emphasized that Papoose is not only her partner but also her best friend, with whom she shares deep conversations and mutual respect. Initially, she preferred to keep their relationship private to avoid external judgment, aiming to cherish their moments away from public scrutiny. However, following Remy Ma’s public disclosure of their relationship, Shields and Papoose have chosen to embrace their partnership openly. Papoose has been visibly supportive, accompanying Shields during significant events, including her historic title fight in Flint, Michigan, where she became the first boxer—male or female—to achieve undisputed status in three different weight divisions. Their relationship, though emerging from complex circumstances, appears to be a source of mutual support and affection, with both expressing happiness in their union.
Papoose and Remy Ma’s previous dates back to 2004. The two married in 2016 before welcoming two children, a daughter Reminisce Mackenzie and a son Jayson Scott. The influential hip hop couple announced their split in 2024, both Remy Ma and Papoose posting screenshots on their official Instagram accounts.

As of February 2025, Claressa Shields does not have biological children. In 2014, she attempted to adopt her cousin’s newborn daughter, Klaressa, and cared for her for eight months. However, Essentially Sports reports that due to legal challenges, she lost custody. This experience has influenced her views on motherhood, leading her to focus on inspiring young girls through her athletic achievements. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Shields expressed, “I don’t want to have kids. I want to inspire young girls and give them hope.”
Early Life and Career
Born on March 17, 1995, in Flint, Michigan, Shields started boxing at 11. Her father, Clarence “Bo Bo” Shields, introduced her to the sport and was actually a former amateur fighter. Shields says that growing up in Flint wasn’t easy. In her adolescence, she tackled poverty, death and abuse. Boxing served as a creative outlet for her.
“You put in the hard work, you win. You slack off, you lose. So when I say boxing is the only thing that loved me back, I put in so much heart into boxing, and guess what I did? I won,” she said on the sports podcast “The Art of Ward.” “I keep winning because it loves me how I love it.”
By the time she was 17 years old, Shields was the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. She trained for those 2012 Olympic Games under the leadership of Jason Crutchfield, who became a father figure in her life.
Claressa Shields’s Track Record
Since then, Shields has increasingly excelled in her professional boxing career. During the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she won a gold medal. In 2019, Shields defeated Christina Hammer and made history, as the only boxer, male or female, to unify all four major boxing titles (the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO) in a single weight class. As of today, her record stands at a 16-0.
What Is Claressa Shields’s Net Worth?
Although Shields solidified her status as one of the best female boxers in the history of the sport, the boxers’ estimated net worth is around $1 million. Throughout her career, she has used her success to shine a light on the pay disparity in women’s sports, especially in boxing. After her 2025 historic boxing match, she spoke about wanting more profitable endorsements.
“I think I want to keep fighting and let it set in at the very end because I haven’t gotten all my endorsements and all my sponsorships yet,” she told Fight Sports. “I have some, but it’s like I’m waiting to get that $20 million from Adidas or $30 million from Under Armour and Nike. I’m looking to get there, you know? I want to represent all these companies, so I have some work to do.”

Joe Rogan Says Mike Tyson Would Run Through Boxing Legend Who Muhammad Ali Dubbed ‘The Toughest’
A lot of fans were happy to see Mike Tyson enjoying himself as the Times Square ‘Fatal Fury‘ unfolded last Friday. Many were concerned as the boxing great returned to face his 59th opponent, Jake Paul, last November. Had it been a prime Mike Tyson, no one would have raised their voice. But a 58-year-old warrior depicts a surreal plotline. At his peak, Tyson was a beast no one would mess with, even in their dreams.
And Joe Rogan was bang on spot when he acknowledged Tyson’s acclaimed prowess. The UFC commentator didn’t miss a beat when he hypothesized what would have happened had Tyson faced someone like Rocky Marciano, who even the greatest of all, Muhammad Ali, once called the toughest to beat. The discussion occurred in the latest episode of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience.‘ Rogan was having an in-depth talk with Cameron Hanes, a bowhunter and marathoner who boasts nearly 2 million followers on social media.
Mike Tyson reigns supreme
The duo converged on the Marciano story when Hanes mentioned his five-mile race. So speaking about an old training video of Marciano, Rogan said, “It was 7 days a week he would spar sometimes 30 or 40 rounds in a day. He would run 10 miles in the morning and then five more miles at night, and then he would swim two miles in the lake. He would swim across the lake and then back, and then he would get up in the morning and do it all over again, and he never took days off.”
The duo reflected on why stories like Marciano’s are inspiring. What struck them most was that by modern standards, standing about 5’10” and 188–192 lbs. in his prime, Rocky Marciano was a small heavyweight. The point invariably drew a comparison. Marciano fought and defeated an out-of-prime Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden. Now, one may treat it as an outlier. However, it’s hard to conjure. Despite weighing less, Marciano fought some of the biggest names of the era.
Because things would have been different had he fought modern-day heavyweights. Someone like Mike Tyson or Tyson Fury. “Like everybody talks about Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano is great. Mike Tyson would have went through him like a f**king train through a flock of sheep,” Rogan said before adding, “It’s a different world. Rocky at his heaviest weighed 192. Okay, he fought seven boxers who weighed more than 200 lb., but people weren’t that big back then.”
Notably, even a prime Tyson wasn’t much bigger either. Weighing 220 pounds and standing five feet and ten inches, he shared Rocky Marciano’s height.
A tough call for Muhammad Ali too
Now, Joe Rogan may have drawn an innocuous analogy. Rocky Marciano is no more, and Mike Tyson, despite his return last year, is a retired boxer who’s nearing sixty. But back in the day, when probably Marciano was still around, though not boxing (he retired in 1955), even Muhammad Ali had to admit how it would have been tough had he been matched up against Marciano.
During a talk show, legendary boxing journalist, the late Alan Hubbard, who was the editor of Sportsworld Magazine, asked Ali, “If you could pick any heavyweight champion in history, say from Marciano, Joe Louis back to Jack Johnson, or even John L. Sullivan, who do you think would have given you the toughest fight of them?”
So ‘The Greatest’ replied, “The toughest fight would be the man who’s the hardest to knock out, whether he’s got a style, and a fellow who had no style, just a bull, was Rocky Marciano. He would be the most trouble, I think.” According to Ali, he would have taken down Joe Louis and many others because they were primarily skilled boxers. He could have outboxed them. But Marciano was a whole different ball game. “Marciano just kept coming; he hurt your arms; he could take everything,” Ali reflected. And it is true. He was indeed a brawler of the toughest kind.
What’s your take on Rogan’s observations on Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano? Do you agree with it?
Mike Tyson Says Heavyweight Legend “Isn’t The Tough Warrior He Says He Is”
At the height of his tenure, Mike Tyson was boxing’s most formidable heavyweight.
‘Iron’ Mike made his debut back in 1985 and in a matter of months became one to watch amongst a star-studded division.
He was just 20-years-old when he captured world honours for the first time in a historic victory against WBC heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick in 1986, blasting his countryman out in the second round of their bout.
Tyson added the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles to his collection with respective victories over James Smith and Tony Tucker, achieving undisputed status just one month after he turned 21-years-old back in 1987.
Despite his considerable success, ‘Iron’ Mike tasted defeat on a number of occasions during his career, including two losses against two-weight undisputed champion Evander Holyfield.
Speaking in a past interview, Tyson shared details of his second showdown with Holyfield, which is best known as the ‘bite fight’.
“I don’t remember what I said at the time but I told him ‘he butt me’. I complained about it in the first fight.
Listen, Holyfield isn’t the tough warrior that he says he is! I got one eye! He’s not impaired, he’s got ears. I got one eye, if he takes one I got another one. I was ready to fight, he didn’t wanna fight.”
‘Iron’ Mike was defeated by Holyfield twice in the space of seven months between 1996 and 1997. Tyson was stopped in the penultimate round of their first encounter to surrender his WBA heavyweight title.
Their second encounter produced one of boxing’s most memorable moments, with Tyson appearing to bite Holyfield’s ear during the third round. The fight was quickly called to a halt by referee Mills Lane, as Holyfield was declared the winner via disqualification.
Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury: Barry McGuigan picks one fighter to knock the other out ‘reasonably quickly’
Barry McGuigan believes Anthony Joshua could score a quick KO over Tyson Fury should the British heavyweights ever step into the ring together.
Joshua and Fury have long been linked to a super fight but have never squared off despite their parallel rise to the top of the sport in the 2010s. They each held world titles to start the current decade, although both eventually lost their belts to current unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Both men remain big names in the division despite not holding any titles, making a potential fight between the two an attractive one for fans and pundits alike.
Retired former WBA featherweight champion McGuigan has urged Fury and Joshua to make a fight happen, pointing to a possible undisputed bout against the winner of the July 19 fight between Usyk and Daniel Dubois as motivation.
Should it happen, McGuigan thinks the fighters’ respective styles gives Joshua the advantage, with the 64-year-old even going so far as to suggest that “AJ” could earn a quick victory.
“Styles make fights though and styles will always make fights,” McGuigan told Betway. “You have to look at the combination of styles and apparently Joshua gave Fury a hiding all of those years ago when they went to spar but it is all sparring talk.
“I do believe Joshua has the style to always be a major problem to Tyson Fury. He has the right style for Fury, and he could knock Fury out reasonably quickly too, that’s the combination of styles.
“But Tyson will always give someone like Daniel Dubois problems because he has good feet, he’s a mover and is a thinker whereas Joshua will stand there and have a fight with someone like Dubois and get knocked out every time.
“If Fury fights Joshua, I will say Joshua has a real chance of knocking him out.”

Shields puts her undisputed heavyweight title on the line against Daniels, who looks to once again become champion
Claressa Shields has her next fight confirmed for July 26, when she faces Lani Daniels at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The pair square off in a 10-round heavyweight bout with the undisputed crown on the line.
Unbeaten 30-year-old Shields (16-0, 3 KOs) of Flint, Michigan makes the first defense of her title. The two-time Olympic gold medalist became a three-division undisputed champion as a pro in February, defeating Danielle Perkins by unanimous decision.
“I am so excited to be defending my undisputed heavyweight world championship in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena,” Claressa Shields said. “My fights continue to get bigger and better. My opponent, Lani from New Zealand, is coming to bring all the smoke – or so she says. This fight will be a sellout of 19,000, so get your tickets and be there to witness herstory on July 26 with the GWOAT.”
Former two-division champion Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) of New Zealand looks to once again claim a world title at heavyweight. In her previous outing last September, the 36-year-old scored a unanimous decision against Bolatito Oluwole.
“To be the best, you have to fight the best. I te pō pouri rawa, ka ara te marama, ā, ka kitea te pono,” Lani Daniels said in her native Māori. “On the darkest nights the full moon will rise, and the truth will be revealed.”
The bouts featured on the Shields vs Daniels undercard are expected to be confirmed shortly.
