#2. Joe Joyce calls out Oleksandr Usyk
Joe Joyce put the entire heavyweight division, especially Oleksandr Usyk, on notice following his win over Joseph Parker this weekend. 'Juggernaut' won the vacant WBO Interim Heavyweight Championship with an emphatic knockout victory over Parker.
Joe Joyce was in control of the fight from the start and eventually ended up knocking out Joseph Parker in the 11th round of the fight. Following his win, 'Juggernaut' was quick to call Oleksandr Usyk for a potential shot at the Unified Heavyweight Championship by saying:
"Usyk, I'm very feel, let's get it on."
#1. Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua update
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding a potential fight against Anthony Joshua. Following Joshua's recent defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch in August 2022, it looked like 'The Gypsy King' would take on the Ukrainian for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship, however, Fury was pretty adamant in making a fight with 'AJ' happen instead.
While Anthony Joshua seemingly agreed to the terms of the fight, it looks like the contracts haven't been signed just yet. Moreover, according to Tyson Fury, the fight just might not end up happening after all.
