      by

      Despite having had less than 30 pro outings, Joshua has been involved in a whopping 12 world title fights and one unification bout.
      While AJ has already certified himself as a British boxing great, his admittance into the International Hall of Fame is by no means guaranteed.
      Hearn, however, believes the Brit can punch his ticket with wins over Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “If you beat Dillian [Whyte], [Deontay] Wilder and [Tyson] Fury, you’re in the Hall of Fame.

      “No pressure.”
      Joshua, 33, will have the opportunity to tick the first of those names off that list next month.
      The Olympian will renew his rivalry with Whyte in a domestic dust-up at the O2 Arena on August 12.
      A win over Whyte will see Joshua finalise a long overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder.

      Joshua had hoped to face Gypsy King Fury later this year but negotiations over the Battle of Britain fell through for a third time.
      He told Sky Sports: “I’m not disappointed.
      “That’s just the reality that we live in. That’s the reality.
      “Unfortunately it didn’t happen, but I’m not disappointed because we know why. People are starting to see.

      “This is just how boxing goes sometimes. People are just…it’s just a shame.
      “But it is what it is, none of my business. If that was me, I would have gone in there and fought, but it’s not me so I can’t really comment on another man’s decisions.
      Joshua’s sights are firmly set on winning his latest showdown with Whyte, but he can’t help but admit subsequent fights with Wilder and Fury would be the “dream” scenario.
      He said: “Yeah, it would be [the dream scenario fight Whyte, Wilder, and then Fury]. But dreams are fake. This is reality.” More

      Prince Naseem Hamed casts doubt over Anthony Joshua’s career as boxing legend says ‘we all have a sell-by date’

      by

      But Hamed poured cold water on the idea of AJ reviving his career and returning to the top level of boxing.
      Joshua began his attempts to come back from back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk when he fought Jermaine Franklin in April this year.
      He entered the bout as heavy favourite but was forced to go 12 rounds with the American, in what many saw as an underwhelming performance.
      Speaking to talkSPORT boxing about whether AJ can get back to the top, Hamed said: “That’s a question AJ can only answer.
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      “For me personally, it’s gonna be hard, very, very hard for AJ.
      “I remember seeing him before his last fight [against Jermaine Franklin], I looked him in his eyes and I said, ‘This is the time where you’re gonna have to prove your heart, you’re gonna need to smash this guy around, show that you’re in charge.’
      “That didn’t happen.
      “What kind of level are we talking about [returning to]? Right at the very top? He had his time, we’ve all got sell-by dates.”

      Prince Naseem also gave his views on the heavyweight boxing scene more generally, and criticised Tyson Fury’s decision to fight former UFC star Francis Ngannou.
      The two will face-off in a boxing match in Saudi Arabia in October.
      Reacting to the fight, Hamed said: “I think it’s a great business move,
      “Tyson’s proven that he’s an amazing champion.
      “But what can I say? For me personally, I really wanted to see him fight Oleksandr Usyk after what he did to Anthony Joshua.
      “His next fight, what does it really mean to us? He’s not even fighting a boxer.
      “It’s gonna probably be a big fight in Saudi Arabia, but does it really mean anything in the sport of boxing?
      “It is a money fight, it may be a good business decision from Tyson Fury.
      “But listen, Tyson Fury – people have not seen him get beat. He’s still number one, he’s still the man.

      “So credit goes out to Fury, we like him.”

      Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn doubted his golden boy’s second grudge match with Whyte would sell out the North Greenwich dome, revealing his scepticism in a recent interview.
      It didn’t take long for Whyte to get wind of the clip, on which he commented: “What a c**t.”
      Hearn revealed his doubts about the selling power of the fight in an interview with Boxing UK, saying: “‘I made a mistake.
      “I started looking at Twitter and I started to let people dim my light.

      Former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua will bid to pick up his second win on the bounce in his domestic dust-up with Whyte.
      A multi-million-pound December dust-up with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will await Joshua should he get past Whyte again.
      But Hearn admitted to talkSPORT: “I don’t know how the Whyte fight goes.
      “But we’ve been told categorically that the deal on the table is not the deal if he loses to Dillian Whyte.

      “They didn’t want him to fight Dillian Whyte.
      “It was almost like, ‘Please, don’t fight Dillian Whyte.
      “‘You don’t need to. We’ve got this fight in December.’ But AJ was like, ‘No. I want to fight.'”
      Joshua, 33, returned to the win column in April with a scrappy points win over Jermaine Franklin, his first opponent since his back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk. More

      The Saudi showdown was booked just months after The Gypsy King’s proposed undisputed title fight with pound-for-pound king Usyk fell through.
      And undefeated Ukrainian Usyk has derided Fury’s decision to face the MMA man by jokingly calling out McGregor – the biggest name in the history of the sport.
      He told SecondsOut: “I have no ambitions besides one ambition – it’s to fight Tyson Fury.
      “I saw that Conor McGregor put some significant weight on his body.

      “Hey Conor, why don’t we make a fight at Wembley?”
      The mouthwatering showdown between Usyk and Fury fell through after very public negotiations.
      An end-of-year showdown was mooted but is now up in smoke as Fury has opted to fight Ngannou on October 28.
      Usyk will now defend his unified heavyweight titles against Fury’s stablemate and fellow Brit Daniel Dubois in Poland on August 26.

      When pressed further on Fury’s latest outing, Usyk told Sky Sports: “This is a great opportunity for Francis Ngannou.
      “For Tyson Fury, it’s definitely not.
      “Doesn’t it seem strange that instead of choosing a top 10 guy, Tyson Fury’s choosing a guy who has never boxed before?”
      Usyk, 36, believes Fury’s decision to throw down with Ngannou was driven by fear of losing their undisputed clash.

      He said: “Of course [he’s afraid of me[. Of course.
      “Greedy belly is afraid of me.”
      Fury’s clash with Ngannou will be a ten-round affair but the Brit’s WBC title will NOT be on the line.
      The fight will be under Queensberry boxing rules, although it’s unclear whether or not it will go on both men’s professional records. More

      Carl Froch reignites Conor McGregor feud as he calls his whiskey ‘s***’ and reveals what would happen in crossover fight

      by

      CARL FROCH has reignited his feud with Conor McGregor by calling Proper 12 whiskey “s***” and warning him off a crossover fight. The bad blood goes back to 2017 when Froch was a commentator for McGregor’s blockbuster bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

      Conor McGregor has feuded Carl Froch in recent years
      He criticised the UFC star’s punch power and it sparked the rivalry which is still brewing to this day.
      Froch told Betting Sites: “Conor McGregor was talking s***, wasn’t he? Talking nonsense about me and piping up.
      “Then I think he realised that actually, if he takes me on in my discipline in boxing, it’s going to be even worse than what happened to him when he fought Mayweather.
      “Mayweather is a quality fighter, but he’s small, he’s a light boxer. I’m quite heavy and I’m even heavier now.

      “Been retired for nine years and I keep myself in shape. So I think he realises that you don’t want to be getting in the boxing ring with me which is fair enough.”
      Froch, 46, retired in 2014 after knocking out George Groves in front of 80,000 at Wembley Stadium.
      Meanwhile McGregor, 34, is yet to return to the UFC for over two years and has not boxed since defeat to Mayweather.
      And Froch added: “Conor McGregor, I’ve got to be honest, I’ve got loads of respect for him because he’s smashed it.

      “He’s had some real tough and brave fights. He’s had his leg snapped, his head smashed in and he’s been choked out.
      “He’s made himself a fortune. I’ve got a lot of admiration for him.
      “But if a crossover fight between me and Conor McGregor could happen and people wanted to see it, that’s the important thing, then I’d happily participate in a boxing match.”
      Froch addded: “Whatever McGregor’s got, if he’s blowing it and spending it and buying Lamborghini boats and being frivolous with it by gambling, I hope he isn’t.
      “He’s earned his money the hardest way. He’s got his whiskey brand too but everyone says that whiskey tastes like s*** by the way.”
