“He Has All The Advantages” Tim Bradley Performs Big U-Turn On Canelo vs Terence Crawford Verdict

Retired world champion Timothy Bradley has made a significant u-turn on his initial prediction for Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’ upcoming mega-fight against Terence Crawford.

The 41-year-old two-weight world champion already had his say on the showdown between two of boxing’s biggest names, which is due to take place in Las Vegas this September following weeks of negotiations

Speaking on his own YouTube channel, Bradley didn’t hesitate to predict a clear victory for ‘Bud’ Crawford, who is bidding to become a five-weight world champion.

“I woke up 3am and something told me to study Canelo and study Crawford. Crawford is about to beat the sh*t out of Canelo Alvarez. I’m letting you know right now. He’s about to beat the breaks off of Canelo Alvarez.”

However, just a few weeks after predicting such a comprehensive win for the 37-year-old, Bradley has now spoken out and revealed he has had a change of heart.

‘Gravy train has passed’ – Derek Chisora explains U-turn on Francis Ngannou showdown for Oleksandr Usyk fight

Derek Chisora no longer wants to step into the ring with Francis Ngannou.

Derek Chisora secured the 36th victory of his 49-fight boxing career on Saturday, surviving a nasty cut to drop Otto Wallin twice en route to a unanimous decision win.

‘Del Boy’ forced Wallin onto his heels for the majority of their Manchester bout and was the only one who landed any truly eye-catching punches.

Ahead of the fight, Chisora had mentioned former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou as one stunning option for his boxing farewell.

The 41-year-old also told talkSPORT in November that he was trying to push for a fight with the Cameroonian in Africa.

However, as he gears up for the last dance of his renowned boxing career, it seems Chisora’s mindset has shifted and he is now purely focused on one man.

“I think that the Choo Choo train has passed now,” Chisora told talkSPORT.com, speaking on a potential fight with Ngannou.

“The hype for me fighting him has died down,” he added. “Put it this way, AJ [Anthony Joshua] fighting Francis Ngannou is the same as Canelo [Alvarez] fighting Jake Paul.

“Do you understand? So I think that the gravy train for Francis Ngannou in boxing and trying it doesn’t work.”

YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul was eyeing another big outing against Canelo Alvarez following his bout with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson last November.

The Winner Is ‘Made’ Usyk Finally Predicts Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker And Says Fight Against The Winner Is ‘Made’

Oleksandr Usyk is waiting on the result of Daniel Dubois versus Joseph Parker as keenly as anyone.

Oleksandr Usyk fought twice in 2024, with the first contest in May crowning him the first man to become undisputed heavyweight champion in over two decades. The 12-round battle with Brit Tyson Fury was a close one that he edged on points, only to do the same in December in the rematch, though this time for the unified titles after dropping the IBF belt

He has vowed to continue fighting on this year and has confirmed that he is keen to take on the winner of the fight between two most in-form men in the division.

Parker is a former WBO champion who has beaten both Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder in his last two contests. Dubois is also on a good run that has seen him stop Jarrell Miller, Fillip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua in his last three outings, picking up the vacant IBF strap on the way.

Before all that, the Brit had a title tilt against Usyk in 2023. A shot of his had the Ukrainian down, but it was ruled a low blow and Usyk rallied to eventually stop Dubois in the 9th round.

Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, Usyk revealed his analysis on the fight, edging towards the champion and his former opponent, Dubois.

The time is not Much,Tyson Fury Given Strict Ultimatum If He Wants Anthony Joshua Fight Next

Tyson Fury may have announced his retirement, but there is still plenty of hope he will fight Anthony Joshua.

‘The Gypsy King’ revealed he was walking away from the sport in a brief social media post at the start of January. It came just weeks after his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk

The first of those in May was for all four belts and undisputed honours. Fury lost narrowly on points. The second was for three of the four belts and saw the Ukrainian take the win again, handing Fury his second professional loss.

For many years, the former world champion was long linked with a fight with fellow Brit Joshua and it seemed the time was now right given that Joshua also lost his last fight against Dubois in September, leaving both men with seemingly nowhere better to go than this legacy-defining contest.

Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou? Stipe Miocic names his ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’

Stipe Miocic’s pick for “Baddest Man on the Planet” might surprise a few people.

Former two-time heavyweight champion Miocic retired after suffering a third-round TKO loss to heavyweight champ Jon Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) last November at UFC 309. But when asked whom he believes is the “Baddest Man on the Planet,” Miocic instead named Francis Ngannou, with whom he split two UFC title fights.

“I’ll go with Francis just because he is tearing it up,” Miocic told The Schmo. He’s doing great with his boxing. I’ll go with Francis.”

Jones vs. Ngannou never materialized, but UFC CEO Dana White is hopeful that he will unify the heavyweight championship with interim title holder Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC). If the matchup does happen, Miocic has some advice for Aspinall on how to fight Jones.

“He Hasn’t Changed” GGG Trainer Abel Sanchez Makes Emphatic Prediction For Canelo vs Crawford: “He Hasn’t Changed”

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to lock horns in a mega-fight later this year.

After months of speculation between both fighters, it was revealed earlier this month that the pound-for-pound stars will finally meet in Las Vegas this September, with Canelo set to defend his unified super middleweight championship against the 37-year-old from Omaha

Canelo has recently signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, with the 1st of this huge deal set to take place on May 3 when he takes on IBF super middleweight champion William Scull in a bid to become the undisputed super middleweight champion once again.

One man who has had first hand experience in preparing a fighter to face the Mexican icon is Abel Sanchez, who coached Gennady Golovkin in two of his bouts against Canelo in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Speaking to KO Artist Sports, Sanchez gave ‘Bud’ Crawford little-to-no chance against Canelo, citing his considerable weight disadvantage as a major factor.

“It’s a ridiculous fight because, I said it a while ago, Crawford is a great fighter but he’s been the same fighter from 135 to 147, he’s still the same fighter, he hasn’t changed anything to make him viable at the bigger weights, but Canelo has.

Terence Crawford hasn’t been destroying his opponents, he destroyed one who was a shell of his former self, but Canelo is destroying everybody that he fights, destroying them, but Crawford’s not. Yes, it’s a good money fight but not a real fight.”

‘Boxing is a drug’ – Oleksandr Usyk finally reacts to Tyson Fury’s shock retirement

Oleksandr Usyk doubts Tyson Fury is retired for good.

‘The Gypsy King’ had boxing fans with their heads in their hands when he hung up his gloves for a fourth time last month.

Before taking to social media to drop the bombshell, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh was preparing an offer for the long-awaited all-British showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua.

However, Fury’s decision has put those talks on ice.

Some believe he has merely stepped away from the sport as a way of negotiating a better deal for the AJ fight.

Others, like his promoter Frank Warren, think he will stick to his guns.

Usyk’s stance falls closer to the former line of thinking, although his reasoning is far deeper than just money.

“I don’t think about it but I think it is not true,” he told talkSPORT.com in an unprecedented exclusive interview on the London Eye.

“Once Tyson has relaxed, and rested, maybe Tyson will be back.

“Boxing if you do this for a long time: 10, 15, 20, 25 years then boxing is like a drug.

“If you don’t go to training one day then you feel dead. For me, at least.

“I train every day. I don’t do boxing every day. Sometimes I do crossfit, and running training.

“I only do boxing when I am in my camp.”

In many ways boxing is like a drug.

For several pugilists the biggest fight they face is coming to terms with retirement and their fractured lives after boxing.

When your entire existence has been based around the sport and the rigorous routine that comes with it, having that taken away overnight can be devastating to a fighter’s psyche.

So many great champions have fought on for too long; pulled back in by the allure of the bright lights.

Roy Jones Jr insisted at his peak that he would call time on his career before his inevitable decline yet the First Ballot Hall of Famer stepped between the ropes for a professional bout less than two years ago against former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at 54 years old.

Anthony Joshua delivered his verdict, ‘I Have Fought Daniel Dubois & Joseph Parker – Here’s Who Wins Fight’

Anthony Joshua has delivered his verdict on what he thinks the outcome of Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker will be later this month. Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, has shared the ring with both men who are due to meet in a title bout on the 22nd of February

AJ beat Parker in 2018, delivering the New Zealander the first loss of his professional career, losing his WBO title in the process. Dubois and Joshua then squared off last September, with Dynamite knocking AJ down four times before he eventually knocked him out for good in the fifth round.

However, it’s not Dubois that Joshua is tipping for victory.

In a post on Turki Alalshikh’s X account, Joshua backed Parker to prevail later this month, as the 33-year-old bids to become a two-time world heavyweight champion.

Parker has seen a resurgence under new trainer Andy Lee in the past 18 months with wins over Simon Kean, Deontay Wilder, and Zhilei Zhang. Much like Parker, however, Dubois himself has been on a great run of late. Dynamite has won all three of his fights since a controversial loss to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2023, with wins against Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Jarrell Miller.

As well as Joshua, former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury also believes Parker will stand victorious against Dubois, but that should come as no surprise given that they are close friends.

Joe Joyce Discusses Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker

The Juggernaut has beaten both fighters

Joe Joyce is the only boxer to have beaten both Parker and Dubois, and while speaking about the upcoming fight himself, he told Fight Hub TV: “Parker is very tricky, he’s hungry, he’s still young, and he’s getting stronger as well. He looks strong, he’s had a great camp, he’s tricky. Dubois hits hard and they both have good momentum. It’s a tough fight for both and may the best man win.”

When pressed for a prediction, he said: “Thinking about it, I was going to say methods of victory. Parker is more likely to go points. Dubois is more likely to finish by knockout.”

The winner of the bout will put themselves in a good position for a unification match-up against Usyk. Dubois has already confronted the Ukrainian in the ring after his victory over Tyson Fury in December 2024. The 27-year-old Brit grabbed a microphone and said: “I want my revenge, Usyk.”

He does’nt has Any Chance: Jaron Ennis Didn’t Hesitate When Asked If Terence Crawford Has Any Chance Of Beating Canelo At 168

Jaron Ennis long chased a fight with Terence Crawford but will now have to watch his rival take on Canelo Alvarez instead.

Ennis is a precocious talent and current IBF belt holder in the welterweight division. He came of age after Crawford became the undisputed champion at 147 by beating Errol Spence in July 2023. With ‘Bud’s last fight a world title victory at 154lbs over Israil Madrimov, it seems the 37-year-old has left the welterweight division behind for good

Crawford has long targeted a further to weight class jump to take on undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo and finally this past week that fight was locked in for September.

Speaking to YSM Sports Media, Ennis can’t pick a winner in the fight and gives Crawford as much chance as Canelo of getting his hand raised.

Errol Spence Brutally Issues 5 Word Warning To Canelo Alvarez About Facing Terence Crawford

Errol Spence has experienced the quality of Terence Crawford first hand so knows what Canelo Alvarez can expect

Spence clashed with ‘Bud’ in July 2023 as they contested the first undisputed welterweight championship of the ‘four belt era’.

Despite a valiant effort from ‘The Truth’, the skills and explosiveness of Crawford proved to be too much, as he put on an incredible display to stop Spence in the ninth round and capture all four world titles at 147lbs in a historic moment for himself, and the sport.

With ‘Bud’ now gearing up to face unified super middleweight champion Canelo, his former opponent Spence has issued a firm warning to the Mexican superstar who is on the verge of becoming a two-time undisputed champion at 168lbs.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, ‘The Truth’ spoke of the upcoming mega-fight between Crawford and Canelo, as he backs his countryman to upset the odds and become a five-weight world champion, stating ‘if anyone can, Crawford can’.

“I’ll be going for ‘Bud’ if he fights Canelo, I’ll be going for him. I don’t know if he’s going to win or lose but I’ll definitely be going for Crawford. I think if anybody can pull it off he can pull it off.
