“It’s Going To Be Great When They Do” Terence Crawford Names The Two Men That Beat Gervonta Davis

As a two-weight undisputed champion, Terence Crawford knows what it takes to be great in the ring and has now named two men he thinks are good enough to beat fellow star Gervonta Davis.

‘Tank’ Davis is one of the most explosive boxers in the sport and is the current WBA lightweight champion. He has previously been held belts at super featherweight and super lightweight.

Last April, he secured a statement win against Ryan Garcia and since then has fought just once when he beat Frank Martin by KO in June, though he named his knockout over Leo Santa Cruz as his best.

Speaking to FightHype, Crawford was asked about the two men closing in on ‘Tank’, namely Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson, and claimed either of them could beat him, but Crawford picked his close friend Stevenson to do it first.

“One of them gunna get him. It’s gunna be a great night of boxing when they do. It gone be him though [pointing to Stevenson]. Big brother first.”

After mike tyson, Canelo Says He Is Willing To Fight Jake Paul Under One Condition

Jake Paul is adamant that he will face Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez and cause ‘the biggest upset in the history of boxing.

Four years ago the prospect would be laughable, to many it still is now. However, the brash 27-year-old has just come out the other side of eight rounds against Mike Tyson, 58, as main event of a record-breaking Netflix partnership.

Jake Paul – who coasted to a unanimous decision over Tyson in an underwhelming and often sad affair – had made it clear pre-fight that he would be calling out the four-weight world champion from Mexico.

In the ring after the face, he said Canelo ‘needs’ the fight.

“Canelo needs me, so I’m not even going to try and call him out. He knows he wants a payday. So, he knows where the money man is at… He’s going to want a payday and I want to show the world all the [stuff] I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is true and I’ll have the biggest upset in the history of boxing. We’ll fight to really see who is the face [of boxing] because, after this event, I’m going to be claiming it.”

Though Canelo has told Paul to ‘stay in his lane’ in the past and is very much still competing at the pinnacle of the sport, a clip from The Full Send podcast shows that he is open to the idea only when his top-level days come to an end.

“When I’m done with boxing [at the highest level], why not? Yeah, maybe. I think it’s good cause what happens is other people who never watch boxing, they don’t know anything about boxing, they want to watch Jake Paul because he brings fans from other world. Maybe [I’ll take the Paul fight].”

As it stands, Alvarez, 34, holds three of the four major super-middleweight titles and is still looking for big money fights against his peers. Ahead of Jake Paul on waiting list, at least in terms of a fan enjoyment perspective, are both David Benavidez and Terence Crawford.

I’ m the best’ Heavyweight Who Has Sparred Fury, Usyk, Dubois And Joshua Says One Man Is Better Than Them All

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are the two current heavyweight champions and thus the top dogs in the division on paper.

A more detailed look shows Tyson Fury up there following a close points loss to Usyk back in May and the chance to avenge that next month. Anthony Joshua has long hovered around the top as well, but Dubois’ statement knockout of the former two-time champion dropped him down a rank or two

British fan-favourite Dave Allen has sparred all four men. In fact, he retired from the sport for a period after a concussive session with formerly undisputed Usyk.

Despite being complimentary of each man when discussing the work in the gym, ‘The Doncaster De La Hoya’ believes bogeyman Martin Bakole is the best in the world. He explained why to Boxing Social.

“I think Martin Bakole is the best heavyweight in the world. I think he probably beats everybody. I’ve said this for a while. He’s so big, but he’s so fast. When he puts his shots together so well, there’s an aura about him as well. Jared Anderson is huge, 6ft4, 18 stone. Bakole made him look like a baby, look like a child.

Bakole would beat Usyk. I’ve no doubt in my mind, way too big. He’s all wrong for Usyk. The only people I can see giving him trouble is Zhang ’cause he’s as big as him, Fury and Joshua.”

KO BOSS ” A J Didn’t Hesitate When Asked Who The Hardest Hitting Heavyweight Of All Time Is

For several years, Anthony Joshua was regarded as one of the most powerful men in the heavyweight division.

Anthony Joshua stopped all 20 of his first opponents on his way to becoming the unified IBF, WBA and WBO world champion, and it was Joseph Parker who was the first man to take him the distance in 2018

His first loss was an upset to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. After winning the rematch he has beaten Kubrat Pulev, lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk, racked up stoppage wins over Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou then lost by stoppage in the fifth round to Daniel Dubois last time out in September.

He must now decide whether to go into a rematch with IBF champion Dubois or wait for a fight with long-time British rival Tyson Fury – who first takes on Usyk again in December as he attempts to avenge the first loss of his career.

Speaking to Queensberry Promotions, Joshua was asked to name the boxer with the most power of all time and he went with an American legend.

Turki Alalshikh : Terence Crawford Rejects 2-Fight Conor McGregor Offer Worth ‘Hundreds of Millions’

Terence Crawford isn’t looking to get into the Octagon with Conor McGregor.

The boxing star revealed he turned down a two-fight offer to go against McGregor, per Andreas Hale of ESPN. Turki Alalshikh, who is the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, offered the pair a two-fight deal that McGregor said would have paid “hundreds of millions” with one matchup in the boxing ring and the other a mixed martial arts showdown.

“They offered me the fight,” Crawford told Bernie Tha Boxer (h/t Hale). “Me and Conor got on the phone and started politicking to try and figure something out. Man, I’m not getting in no f—ing Octagon with you so you can be kicking and elbowing me!”

Chances are, the two fighters would have ended up each winning in their respective sports.

After all, Crawford has never competed in MMA and would be facing one of the sport’s most notable names in McGregor. As for boxing, the 37-year-old remains one of three boxers to simultaneously hold all four major world titles in two different weight classes and would surely have the advantage inside the ring.

McGregor at least has boxing experience after he went against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

He held his own and lost via a 10th-round TKO, but that was also seven years ago and before he has been sidelined by a toe injury that has kept him away from MMA for four-plus years.

With that as the backdrop, the UFC fighter understood Crawford’s decision.

“He was like, ‘I respect that,'” Crawford said of McGregor’s response. “‘You respect my sport just like I respect your sport. You understand that if you got in the Octagon with me, I would be at a disadvantage. Just like if I got in a boxing ring with you, I’d be at a disadvantage.'”

A huge heavyweight ring rematch looms large on the horizon as the Riyadh Season continues to bring the thrills

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury rekindle their ring relationship this December, as the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, hosts another huge boxing extravaganza. ‘The Gypsy King’, Tyson Fury, enters the Riyadh ring on Saturday, December 21, aiming to avenge his first-ever professional defeat. The British boxer missed his chance to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion this millennium back in May. Instead, that honour went to Usyk, who won their first encounter in a split decision to claim all four world heavyweight belts. The full set of titles won’t be up for grabs on this occasion, with the IBF crown currently sitting pretty on Daniel Dubois’s head, with Usyk having vacated that belt earlier this year. That fact, of course, doesn’t detract from the enormity of the December clash.

Usyk vs Fury will go head-to-head once again at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The arena is located in the area known as Boulevard City, in the northwest region of Riyadh. Construction of Kingdom Arena (initially known as the Boulevard Hall) began in mid-2023. It was intended to be an entertainment focal point, hosting events associated with the winter Riyadh Season, where the world’s best athletes and artists would meet, converge and perform. In September 2023, the Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) made a major investment in the venue, and Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal would begin playing regular home games there. As part of the agreement, KHC also received the naming rights to the stadium. In October 2023, the annual Riyadh Season activities got underway at the Kingdom Arena, when it held the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou heavyweight encounter. Several epic boxing clashes have taken place at the venue over the past year, including Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou (March 2024), Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk (May 2024) & Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol (October 2024).

Riyadh Season, which is a series of entertainment, cultural, and sporting events held in the Saudi Arabian capital, has helped raise the profile of the city of Riyadh and the nation of Saudi Arabia as a whole in recent years. Riyadh Season, first introduced in 2019, typically runs from October through to March, with events and experiences dispersed into ‘zones’ that now include the likes of Kingdom Arena, Boulevard City, Boulevard World, Riyadh Zoo and Wonder Garden. The inaugural edition of Riyadh Season proved to be a huge success, resulting in a sizable increase in tourism, with 11 million people visiting Riyadh during the 66-day period. Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority also estimated that the combined 2019 Season events generated SAR 6 billion in revenue. Riyadh Season continues to expand and grow each year, and the 2024 edition is proving to be the biggest and best yet.

The city of Riyadh is situated at the centre of the Arabian peninsula and is not only the capital but also the largest city in Saudi Arabia. With a population of over 7 million, it is a bustling metropolis that offers a wide range of attractions and activities for visitors. Riyadh holds a significant position as the cultural capital of Saudi Arabia, boasting a rich history and heritage that dates back centuries, but if you’re looking for a luxury city break or to take in an event or show, Riyadh definitely ticks all those boxes too these days.

Riyadh is home to some of Saudi Arabia’s most extraordinary sites of natural and historical beauty and is a must-visit destination for any cultural enthusiast, with the added benefit of numerous art galleries and historical centres to explore. While Riyadh is known for its rich history, it is also a city of modern architecture. The cityscape is filled with stunning contemporary buildings and structures that showcase the country’s commitment to innovation and development. Riyadh is also the perfect location for shopping addicts. The city is home to numerous modern malls and traditional souks where you can find everything from luxury brands to local handicrafts. Riyadh has it all, whether you’re travelling to Riyadh for a standout event, like Usyk v Tyson 2, travelling with your family, planning a romantic trip with your loved one, or visiting on business.

Flights to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Riyadh is served by King Khalid International Airport, which HRH King Fahd opened on 16 November 1983. Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, and its partner airlines run numerous regular flights to Riyadh from all over the globe.

Exploring and planning your route to Riyadh via Etihad Airways is the best option, allowing you to compare prices and flight times and find the best option for you.

Tickets to Usyk vs Fury 2

Demand for tickets to Reignited 2: Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury has obviously been very high, but tickets are still available, ranging from 50-1000 SAR ($20-250 / £10-200). For the latest ticket news and availability, go to Webook, the official ticketing platform for Riyadh Season events.

The Usyk v Fury undercard is due to get underway at 10 pm local Riyadh time (2 pm ET / 7 pm GMT), with main event ring walks commencing at approximately 2 am Sunday local time (6 pm ET / 11 pm GMT). Yet again, for a Riyadh Season event, it will deliver a thrilling undercard that includes the likes of Israil Madrimov v Serhii Bohachuk (super welterweight), Dennis McCann v Peter McGrail (super bantamweight) and Isaac Lowe v Lee McGregor (featherweight).

Former unified light welterweight world champion Amir Khan has advised ‘Joshua to wait for Fury fight’

Former unified light welterweight world champion Amir Khan has advised Anthony Joshua to hold off on other fights and wait for a mega-bout with Tyson Fury before retiring from boxing, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The British-Pakistani fighter believes Joshua, who has amassed over $200m in career earnings, should conclude his illustrious career with the long-awaited all-British showdown against the Gypsy King.

“He should wait for the big fight against Tyson Fury,” Khan told New Zealand Daily. “They’re both such big names and I think he should call it a day after that.

“Anthony joshua has done phenomenal in boxing and has made a lot of money, won a lot of titles, fought around the world, and is a big name but for him, why not finish on a big high by taking the Fury fight and then call it a day?”

The Olympic gold medallist is currently nursing injuries following his fifth-round knockout loss to IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in September, with his promoter Eddie Hearn confirming he won’t return to action until at least May 2024.

Talk of the Town, Gervonta Davis Caught in Crossfire as Floyd Mayweather’s Call to Keyshawn Davis Becomes Talk of the Town

Lightweight prospect Keyshawn Davis is coming off a dominant 2nd round knockout win over Gustavo Lemos. He dropped the Argentinian opponent three times in the 2nd round before getting his hand raised in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. Since the fight, Davis has revealed details about his post-fight calls with five-division champion Floyd Mayweather on social media.

‘Money’ Mayweather retired from the sport in 2017 following his win over former UFC champion Conor McGregor. However, his relationship with boxing didn’t end there. He has been guiding several boxers through the pro ranks and into stardom. Regardless, since Keyshawn’s post on Instagram about the call with Mayweather, Gervonta Davis seems to have gotten caught in the crossfire, as fans share their opinion.

Keyshawn Davis reveals Mayweather’s call amid feud with Gervonta Davis

Earlier today, 25-year-old undefeated lightweight Keyshawn Davis took to Instagram to reveal insights into his post-fight conversations with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. “It’s crazy, Floyd calls me after every fight just to discuss my performance. Not only is he the GOAT, but he’s also a real mentor,” Davis wrote while sharing a screenshot of his FaceTime conversation with ‘Money.’ Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, who once fought under Mayweather’s promotional banner, departed from the promotion in May 2022, citing a desire to promote his own fights. However, tensions between them had been apparent for some time, as the two frequently clashed on and off social media.

In more recent times, the Davis duo has been clashing on social media. Before Keyshawn’s fight earlier this week, the 25-year-old was taking shots at ‘Tank,’ with the latter firing back on X. So, given their newfound animosity against each other, people started speculating a fight could be on the horizon.

In what appears to be an attempt to fan the flames, Keyshawn Davis shared details about his phone call with Mayweather. It’s also worth mentioning that the legendary boxer was previously pushing for a fight between ‘Tank’ and WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, but that never ended up happening.

Gervonta Davis is currently slated to fight Lamont Roach sometime in January next year, but no location or specific date has been revealed as of the time of writing. That said, Keyshawn’s post today seems to have been enough to send fans into a frenzy.

Fan alleges Floyd Mayweather is behind Keyshawn’s post

Even though ‘The Businessman’ never mentioned Gervonta Davis in his post, fans were quick to rope in the WBO lightweight champion. One user implied Keyshawn’s post was a direct jab at ‘Tank.’ “Y’all love making tank mad for some reason😂😂💯,” the user wrote. However, it’s difficult to say whether Gervonta Davis even cares about such a thing.

Another user felt Floyd Mayweather may have pushed Keyshawn to start the feud with ‘Tank.’ “Now we know why you beefing wit tank 😂,” the user commented. Despite their beef, it’s unclear whether this will spill over into a full-blown fight.

Meanwhile, this user thought Keyshawn’s post about Mayweather was genuine. “I can definitely tell he been mentoring you with your defense in the fight. You barely got touched and counter punches were 🔒,” the user wrote. However, why would a rising boxer wait so long to announce his affiliation with one of boxing’s biggest stars when he could have done it earlier to attract more attention?

Someone else alleged that Floyd Mayweather was the one stirring up trouble for Gervonta Davis.“Floyd sending everybody after Tank 😂,” commented the user. Well, he has done this in the past. Why not now?

The next user proposed Keyshawn should fight someone else. “Fight Andy Cruz what makes u think u going to get fight before shakur smh,” the user wrote. However, it appears neither of them are getting the fight against Gervonta Davis. Having said that, the post from Keyshawn Davis seems to have failed to make people buy into the whole post-fight discussion with Floyd Mayweather. Instead, the prevailing sentiment seems to be that it was a clear dig at Gervonta Davis. What do you think?

Accuses Keyshawn Davis of greed for wanting Gervonta Davis’ salary….

Accuses Keyshawn Davis of greed for wanting Gervonta Davis’ salary himself

Keyshawn Davis is known for his hard-hitting fights, but also for his controversies outside the ring, and now he received a serious accusation against him: he wanted to collect the salary of Gervonta Davis by avoiding Andy Cruz.

Andy Cruz’s reaction

Andy Cruz, gold medallist at the Tokyo Olympics, took to social media to react to Keyshawn Davis, who said that his team had contacted him for a fight and that there was no interest. Cruz called Keyshawn today and said, “My son, knock knock. Send me the contract”.

In one of his most convincing fights, Keyshawn Davis made it clear that he is ready to fight anyone in his category, as he destroyed Gustavo Lemos in the light middleweight category. But it is even more noteworthy that Davis did it in his opponent’s home: Norfolk.

The emphatic victory moved him closer to his world championship dreams. Needless to say, ‘Tank‘ remains the main target in his sights. But many feel that ‘The Business‘ is still not ready to face a boxer of Gervonta’s calibre. That would be the jackpot for Keyshawn.

Keyshawn and his refusal to fight Andy Cruz

Cruz belongs to the promoter Matchroom and wants to see that “imaginary contract” that Keyshawn talks about, because he would never refuse to fight him. It is not clear why Keyshawn would say that Cruz was not interested in fighting him when he had soundly defeated him four times when they were amateurs. Cruz dominated Keyshawn in the finals of the 2020 Olympic Games, defeating him by a score of 4-1 and making the process easy.

Curiously, Top Rank hired Keyshawn instead of Cruz and matched him carefully in the style of Berlanga to make sure he was not defeated, that is why the anger of Andy Cruz, because he knows perfectly well that he can beat him, once again.

Promoter Eddie Hearn : Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury ‘fighting’ to fight Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua has not announced his next opponent, but the two most likely candidates are Daniel Dubois or Tyson Fury, at least that is the dream of promoter Eddie Hearn, who chatted about Joshua’s return to the ring.

Hearn spoke to Ariel Helwani and said that Joshua, who is recovering from the injuries suffered in his big fight in September at Wembley against Dubois, would not be ready to fight when Dubois makes his first title defense on February 22.

“He going to fight Daniel Dubois or Tyson Fury,” Hearn told Helwani. “They’re the only two fights I see. He wanted to go on February 22 and fight Daniel Dubois and he just wouldn’t have been 100 percent. He’s still got a couple of minor niggles from that fight. He still can’t start camp and he needs to do that now, if he’s going to fight on February 22.”

Possible opponents for Anthony Joshua’s return

“You’ll see him (Joshua) around May or June, and I think he’s desperate to do the rematch with Daniel Dubois, but obviously, win or lose Tyson Fury on December 21, it will be a fight that will be very difficult to walk away from,” Hearn admitted. “Those two have to face each other before it’s all over. And that could be next.“Win or lose. If he (Fury) wins, it would be absolutely fantastic. He could defend his unified world championship against Anthony Joshua. If he loses, it’s the last dance for both of them. Either way, it’s compelling. I want Fury to win. I want Fury to be heavyweight champion of the world because that’s what AJ wants, to try and become three-time heavyweight champion of the world. That’s why he wants to do the rematch with Dubois, because there’s a world title opportunity there. Yes, Fury can win and we can do the fight with AJ, definitely that would be my preferred route, but we’ll see what happens on December 21.”

Eddie Hearn could leave ATT Stadium before Paul vs Tyson fight

Matchroom director Eddie Hearn will be at the AT&T in Dallas on Friday for the big event between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. But he won’t necessarily stick around for the main event, as he admitted that he plans to leave early.
