    One agreed: “Those eyes say it all.”
    Joshua, 34, stopped Otto Wallin, 32, in five rounds in his last fight in December, his first under coach Davison.
    Meanwhile Ngannou, 35, dropped Fury, 37, on his boxing debut but lost a controversial split-decision.
    It was still enough for him to earn the bout with AJ, filling in for Deontay Wilder, 38, after the American lost to Joseph Parker, 32.

    Many were shocked by Ngannou’s performance and knockdown of Fury – but not Joshua.
    He said during a DAZN face to face: “I think if I box Tyson Fury a lot of similarities will happen in the fight so I am not surprised at all in terms of his style, who Fury is, it’s just a boxing match.
    “Well done to both of them, they put on an entertaining fight but that’s in the past. That’s how boxing is, and we move forward now.”

    Taylor controversially won their previous meeting via split decision in February 2022 to defend his light-welterweight world titles.
    The pair are now set to settle their rivalry at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on April 27.
    Ahead of the bout, a press conference was held in Edinburgh on Monday.
    The tense press conference went back and forth with insults before Manchester’s 30-year-old Catterall said Taylor “can’t even see straight”.

    The 33-year-old Tartan Tornado hit back with x-rated insults and shouts of “rat”.
    And when they were posed close together for a photo opportunity, Taylor lashed out his arms and shoved Catterall backwards.
    The Scot placed a hand on his opponent’s waist before Catterall reached out for Taylor’s throat.
    And then there was a rapid move from southpaw Taylor and a security separation.

    But Catterall lashed out first this time and the pair were separated until the second leg in Manchester on Tuesday. 
    Taylor said: “the guy is obviously riled up, he tried to put his hands on me.
    “He is trying to wind me up but he doesn’t have the brains to do it.”
    But Catterall disagreed and again suggested his foe was not fully fit, saying: “He has been in hiding for two years, I’ve not been able to find him.
    “He came out today but he didn’t look too clever.”

    Catterall was handed his first professional loss in their first meeting two years ago.

    Both fighters were deducted points during the bout, which also had a heated build-up between the long-term rivals.

    And he was due to face Mitchell Hooper or Brian Shaw – until talks suddenly broke down.
    Hall said on his YouTube channel: “I’ve been training for an MMA fight for the last, I’m going to say six months of my life.
    “And I’m sure you’ve heard the news, seen other articles, big Brian Shaw has talked about it.
    “Don’t know quite what went wrong but the fight fell through. It was big money, it was life-changing money and that’s why I took the contract.

    “Of course, me and Brian being family men, we want to secure our futures, make everything financially secure for our children, our great grandchildren etc.
    “We took this deal, we had a contract in place and it all just fell through. It’s just one of those things.”
    Hall, 36, crossed over to boxing in 2022 but was beaten in a super-heavyweight exhibition against rival Hafthor Bjornsson, 35.
    But he began training with interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, 30, for his MMA debut and revealed he got down to 25 stone.

    I dropped Anthony Joshua in sparring – here’s my prediction for his fight against Francis Ngannou

    ANTHONY JOSHUA has received the backing of old sparring partner David Price in his fight against Francis Ngannou. Joshua returns on March 8 in Saudi Arabia against Ngannou, who only made his boxing debut in October against Tyson Fury.

    And the former UFC champion-turned boxing debutant astonishingly dropped Fury despite losing a controversial split-decision.
    The performance was still enough to earn him another blockbuster in Riyadh, this time against AJ.
    But Price – who once floored Joshua in sparring – believes this time Ngannou will not have the same success in the ring.
    He told iFL TV: “I think Joshua will walk through him really in a boxing match.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “I think it will magnify what happened with Fury and get people talking more again.”
    Price, 40, retired in 2021 two years after defeat to Derek Chisora, 40.
    But in 2016, he was considered as an opponent for Joshua, who at the time was making the second defence of his IBF title.
    Price stated his case by revealing that he had dropped Joshua in a previous sparring session.

    AJ was an amateur boxer at the time and never denied Price’s claim when probed in the past.
    Joshua told Sky Sports in 2016: “Yes, he dropped me in sparring and I continued training and that’s why I am here now.

    Jake Paul calls out Tommy Fury to complete epic trilogy including MMA fight in £16MILLION deal

    JAKE PAUL has teased a trilogy across both boxing and MMA with Tommy Fury – offering a deal of up to £16MILLION. The YouTuber-turned boxer has angled for a rematch with Fury ever since losing their celebrity grudge match in February 2023.

    But Paul has continued to accuse his boxing rival of pricing himself out to avoid the pair sharing the ring again.
    He told ESPN: “I think he is a lot of things, one of which is not very serious about the fight and actually making it happen.
    “And too unrealistic in terms of offers and finances. He thinks he’s his brother and his dad is delusional in terms of what he’s actually worth.
    “And I can see how that happens, if they’re like, ‘Yo, Tyson Fury’s getting this, Tommy should be getting this.’

    “It’s like, no. That’s not how it works, brother. So it’s hard to get that across these hard-headed people who aren’t very good at business and don’t understand the way and the landscape of boxing.
    “I think there’s a massive fear of, not only losing, but they’re just trying to be unrealistic about the numbers, which again, maybe, those two go hand in hand.
    “We all know everyone tries to price themselves out if they don’t really want to fight and hide behind that.
    “I think that’s where things are, but regardless, I’m on a different mission to become world champion.

    The American then knocked out 10-1-1 boxer Andre August, 35, in December and returns on March 2 against 17-2 Ryan Bourland, also 35.
    Fury, 24, meanwhile edged past Paul’s arch rival KSI, 30, in his last fight in October and has since had hand surgery.
    Paul last year signed with the Professional Fighters League, where he will make his MMA debut.
    And his business partner Nakisa Bidarian talked up a trilogy fight in the PFL cage as part of a $20m (£16m) deal for Fury.
    Bidarian said: “He’s willing to fight him in boxing and if Jake wins, he’s willing to enter the SmartCage in PFL with Tommy.
    “There’s a path there where it’s close to $20 million in guaranteed money.”
