Jaron Ennis Hints at Dire Consequences: Facing  Joshua Could Be Ward’s Most Dangerous Move Yet

Anthony Joshua: Andre Ward is incredibly happy with the decision he made to walk away from boxing in 2017. But we now know the Hall of Famer wouldn’t mind jumping back into the ring for a massive fight.
“Me and Anthony Joshua,” Ward said on a self-recorded video earlier this month. “That’s a fight I would take at Wembley Stadium.”
Ward is typically your favorite fighter’s favorite fighter
Jaron Ennis is among that group. The Philly star grew up watching Ward dominate in the ring. He also watched in awe as Ward grabbed back-to-back wins over Sergey Kovalev in 2016 and 2017, respectively
At the time, Ward (32-0, 16 KOs) was the consensus number one pound-for-pound fighter in the sport and a unified 175-pound champion. Those days, however, were nearly a decade ago. With the now 41-year-old opting to retire immediately after, Ennis doesn’t like the thought of him returning. He certainly doesn’t like the possibility of him ending his near 10-year retirement to fight a gigantic, hard-hitting heavyweight star like Joshua.

“I don’t like it,” Ennis told YSM Sports Media. “I think he should stay retired. Anthony Joshua, that’s a big dude.”
Joshua has been on Ward’s mind for years now. Following his win over Kovalev, Ward and his team admitted that a showdown against Joshua, with a preparatory fight against Tony Bellew first, was the plan.
Gervonta Davis
Life, nevertheless, got in the way, as Ward chose to retire instead, citing knee issues.
During Ward’s time away from the game, Joshua’s career has ebbed and flowed. A two-time unified champion, e’s been at the top of the heavyweight mountain with wins over Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker. and Andy Ruiz Jr. He’s also hit rock bottom, most recently thanks to his crushing fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois.
Now, the 35-year-old is sitting back and weighing his options. Though it’s unlikely, Ward could get the call. If he does, however, Ennis doesn’t believe he should answer.
“Andre Ward has the skills to pull it off, but that’s a big guy,” Ennis said. “We don’t know if we can take Joshua’s punch. I think he should stay retired and enjoy the fruits of his labor.”

Everybody Wants To Fight  Joshua: They Think He’s

Everybody Wants To Fight  Joshua: They Think He’s an Easy Opponent, But He’s Still a Dangerous Fighter

In the world of heavyweight boxing, few names command the level of attention, speculation, and ambition that Anthony Joshua does. Once celebrated as the face of British boxing and a two-time unified heavyweight champion, Joshua’s career has been a rollercoaster ride marked by dramatic highs and crushing lows. But despite his setbacks, one thing has become crystal clear: Joshua remains one of the most in-demand fighters on the planet.

The irony, however, lies in why so many fighters are eager to face him. To some, Joshua appears vulnerable — a former champion who has suffered notable defeats, including shocking losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. and back-to-back decisions to Oleksandr Usyk. For rising contenders and even seasoned veterans, Joshua represents both opportunity and risk: the chance to catapult their own careers by beating a global superstar.

Boxing is as much about perception as it is about performance. Joshua’s losses have painted a picture that he is no longer the indomitable force he once was. Critics point to moments of hesitation in his fights, questioning his mental toughness and ability to adapt under pressure. Opponents believe that if Andy Ruiz could dismantle him, or if Usyk could outbox him twice, then Joshua might be “easier prey” than the other titans of the division, such as Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.

Anthony joshua

Promoters and fighters alike see the financial and reputational goldmine that comes with fighting Joshua. A win over him doesn’t just put another notch on a record; it makes headlines worldwide and places the victor in the heart of the heavyweight conversation.

The Dangerous Truth About Joshua

Yet, those who underestimate him do so at their own peril. Joshua is far from finished. With a towering frame, explosive knockout power, and a wealth of championship experience, he remains one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. Even in his defeats, he has shown resilience, discipline, and the ability to learn from mistakes.

RELATED NEWS : Jake Paul: “If Davis Triumphs, It Could Signal a Passing of the

It’s easy to forget that Joshua boasts a resume filled with dominant victories over the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin. His ability to deliver devastating knockouts with a single punch means that even when he appears vulnerable, he can end a fight in an instant.

The Paradox of Fighting Joshua

That’s what makes the pursuit of Joshua such a paradox. He is both a target and a threat. Fighters see an opportunity to beat him, but they also know one mistake against him can end their night brutally. Facing Joshua is the ultimate gamble — a fight that could make or break a career.

Gervonta Davis

Moreover, Joshua has made it clear in recent interviews and training footage that he is focused on rebuilding and reinventing himself. With renewed dedication and changes in his training team, Joshua is determined to prove he’s not just a stepping stone for others but still a contender for the heavyweight throne.

As challengers line up, dreaming of the payday and the glory that comes with fighting Anthony Joshua, they should remember that appearances can be deceiving. Joshua may have scars from his battles, but those scars carry lessons. He is not the “easy opponent” many think he is — he is still a dangerous, unpredictable, and explosive fighter capable of reminding the boxing world why he was once its king.

Tank Has Never Shied Away From Bold Statements, But This

Tank Has Never Shied Away From Bold Statements, But This Time, His Focus Is Sharper Than Ever

In the often-chaotic world of boxing, few fighters capture attention the way Gervonta “Tank” Davis does. Known for his knockout power inside the ropes and his outspoken nature outside of them, Davis has built a reputation as both a showman and a destroyer. But today, as the boxing landscape shifts and rivalries heat up, there is a sense that Davis is entering a new chapter — one defined by a sharper, more unrelenting focus than ever before.

From the beginning, Davis’s rise in professional boxing has been tied to bold statements and even bolder performances. He’s never been content to let his fists do all the talking; his confidence often echoes long before the opening bell. Whether calling out established champions or brushing aside doubts about his size and weight-class dominance, Davis has consistently positioned himself as the fighter to watch — and the fighter to fear.

Now, as speculation grows about potential blockbuster matchups, Davis’s words have taken on a new edge. His declarations are no longer just bravado; they’re promises backed by a fighter entering his prime years with the hunger to cement his legacy.

“Focus” is the word that keeps surfacing in conversations around Davis. Insiders close to the Baltimore-born star insist he has tightened his training, cut back on distractions, and honed his mindset toward nothing less than greatness. In an era where fighters often juggle fame, outside ventures, and personal struggles, Davis seems intent on proving that his attention is locked on the sport that made him a star.

Anthony Joshua

“Tank is dialed in,” one source close to his camp shared. “He’s not just preparing for the next fight — he’s preparing to take over the sport.”

For Davis, who has already captured multiple world titles across weight classes, this renewed intensity signals that the biggest battles of his career are still to come.

The whispers of potential showdowns with the likes of Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson, and even legends like Manny Pacquiao have electrified the boxing world. And while these fights come with risks, Davis appears to welcome them with open arms.

He has always thrived under the spotlight, but what sets this moment apart is his insistence that no challenge is too big, no opponent too experienced, and no legacy too untouchable. If boldness was his trademark before, it now feels like a mission statement: Gervonta Davis intends not just to participate in history, but to rewrite it.

RELATED NEWS : It’s Very Dangerous:Next Absolute Frontrunner’ For Anthony

Fans have long admired Davis for his destructive left hand and highlight-reel knockouts. But the fighter himself seems intent on showing that his growth goes beyond the physical. His focus now extends to discipline, preparation, and the mental toughness needed to dominate not just a division, but an era.

Observers point out that this evolution is critical. Talent alone wins fights, but greatness comes from the fusion of skill, mindset, and timing. Davis appears to understand that better than ever.

For Davis, the stakes could not be higher. He’s undefeated, but greatness is measured not only by an unblemished record — it’s measured by the names on the résumé, the nights that define a career, and the moments when pressure turns into legacy.

Tyson Fury

A focused Gervonta Davis has the potential to deliver all of that and more. And as he sharpens his sights on the challenges ahead, fans can sense that the bold statements we’ve heard for years might finally be backed by a legacy-defining stretch in the ring.

The boxing world has always expected fireworks from “Tank.” But this time, it feels different. This time, there’s more than just power and swagger. There’s a sense of destiny — a fighter locking in at the peak of his abilities, determined to prove that his era has truly arrived.

Gervonta Davis has never shied away from making bold statements. But today, as his focus sharpens like never before, those statements carry the weight of inevitability.

Is It Truly Deserved?: Crawford Stirs Suspense, Questioning Errol Spence Jr.’s Hall of Fame Legacy

TERENCE CRAWFORD remains unconvinced that Errol Spence Jr’s current achievements merit induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Each year, a new class of boxing legends is inducted during events in Canastota. The 2025 group includes icons like Manny Pacquiao, Vinny Paz, middleweight and super-middleweight world champion Michael Nunn, and world champions Yessica Chavez, Anne Sophie Mathis, and Mary Jo Sanders.

Crawford, 41-0 (31 KOs), secured his own future Hall of Fame spot on July 29, 2023, when he defeated Spence to become the undisputed welterweight champion. It marked the second time “Bud” claimed all four belts in a weight class, having previously done so at super-lightweight against Julius Indongo in July 2017.

Since winning his first world title at lightweight in 2014, Crawford has excelled across multiple divisions. Last August, he moved up to super-welterweight and defeated Israil Madrimov to claim the WBA world title. Now 37, Crawford is expected to return to the ring this September, potentially stepping up to super-middleweight to challenge Canelo Alvarez – provided the Mexican defeats William Scull on May 3 and becomes undisputed champion for a second time.

Anthony joshua

Spence, meanwhile, has not fought since Crawford stopped him in the ninth round of their highly anticipated superfight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Billed as a 50-50 contest, the bout saw Crawford dominate his greatest rival, knocking him down three times in a career-defining performance. Before that loss, Spence, 28-1 (22 KOs), held three welterweight world titles and boasted an impressive résumé with victories over Kell Brook, Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and Yordenis Ugas.

Speaking on Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry, Crawford reflected on Spence, admitting he was a fan before their rivalry began – and still is.

“Once it got to the point where I moved up in weight and I’m in the same weight as Spence it’s like ‘Oh man you ain’t fighting nobody. You this, you that, you this, you that.’ So now they trying to blemish my accomplishment just to boost him up and I’m like ‘Dude you’re not going to do that because I can retire right now and be in the Hall of Fame’. He couldn’t. Everything that I’ve accomplished he’s still trying to accomplish.”

Terence Crawford

Co-host and former UFC champion Kamaru Usman interrupted to ask Crawford if he thought Spence would make the Hall of Fame. “Right now? No, how?” Crawford replied. Fellow host and ex-UFC champion Henry Cejudo agreed as Crawford elaborated. “He fought in one division, he unified – he had three (belts) – he wasn’t (undisputed). What I’m saying is they already called him a ‘weight bully’. He beat Kell Brook coming off a loss, an eye injury, he beat Shawn Porter… I don’t want to sound like I’m hating on him, but I honestly don’t know if he make it to the Hall of Fame with the accolades that he didn’t got right now.”

“A Very Strong Chance”: Promoter Eddie Hearn Sparks Curiosity Anthony Joshua Could Be on the Verge of a “Very Strong Chance” Showdown with Jake Paul

Anthony Joshua: Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are in real-deal negotiations to fight … and AJ’s longtime promoter, Eddie Hearn, says it could happen “early next year!”
The Matchroom Boxing boss — who has worked alongside Joshua for over a decade — joined Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” TV show (airs nightly on FS1) … and Hearn left us shocked.
“I just thought to myself, this is Jake Paul creating headlines. He’s not going to fight Anthony Joshua. And in every conversation I have with [Jake’s partner] Nikisa and MVP, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, they actually think they can beat him,'” Eddie said.
“And I think there’s a very good chance you’re going to see it next!”

Not maybe, not in five years … next! And, if anyone would know, it’s Eddie, AJ’s rep, who is at the center of the discussions.

“This isn’t Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson … this is AJ, sorry, Jake Paul fighting one of the most dangerous fighters, pound for pound, in the sport.”

Jake clearly feels differently.

“I think it’s wildly dangerous. I think Jake Paul is a madman. But, for some reason, he believes he can beat Anthony Joshua.”
And, EH says “[Jake] will get AJ at 100% of his best and most dangerous, so, good luck!”

Speaking of that Paul and Tyson fight, whether you loved or hated it, it was undeniably a massive event … and with 108 million viewers worldwide, the most watched fight ever.
The reign on top may be short-lived, according to Hearn.Anthony joshua

“[Joshua vs. Paul] would be one of the biggest, you know, pay-per-view fights, the biggest. I mean, it would just be absolutely huge.”
Bottom line — it sounds like there’s a great chance AJ and Jake will soon share a ring.
“Listen, if you want Anthony Joshua to evaporate you from the boxing world, we will quite willingly do so.”

Anthony joshua

‘Big Money Events Ever: Dillian Whyte says a fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul could shock the boxing world and turn into one of the biggest ‘big money’ events ever.

Two-time WBC interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte has thrown his support behind a potential bout between former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, insisting it would make financial sense for both men

Whyte, a 37-year-old Jamaican-British heavyweight boxer, told the BBC that while the matchup might raise eyebrows, the business side makes it worthwhile.

“It’s a business, man. If [Joshua v Paul] makes sense and does numbers, why not?” Whyte said. “[Joshua] has won the championship twice, had a lot of fights and done a lot, so I don’t know. I’m sure he’ll make more money than he did in some of his title fights. Sometimes, if you can make some money, then make some money.”

“At first I thought it was a publicity stunt from Jake, but now the more I speak to them, the more I actually understand; Jake Paul thinks he can beat Anthony Joshua,” Hearn told the BBC.

Whyte also touched on his own unfinished business with Joshua, expressing a desire to avenge his seventh-round knockout defeat in 2015 when the pair fought for the British heavyweight title.
“I would love to have a chance to right my wrong,” Whyte said.

Tyson Fury Warns Moses Itauma Would Ruthlessly Destroy Oleksandr Usyk After Savage Win Over Dillian Whyte

Moses Itauma issued his latest statement of intent to boxing’s heavyweight division as he stopped Dillian Whyte in the first round of Saturday’s main event in Saudi Arabia; former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury tipped the 20-year-old to beat the world’s best

Tyson Fury has backed Moses Itauma to ‘wreck’ Oleksandr Usyk and the rest of the world’s top heavyweights after the rising star’s latest statement performance.

Itauma continued his ruthless ascent through the heavyweight ranks on Saturday night as he blasted past Dillian Whyte inside one round in Saudi Arabia.

The highly-rated 20-year-old has teased the potential to become the next face of the heavyweight division, with former world champion Fury tipping him to dominate for years to come.

“I keep getting asked about young Moses Itauma fighting Oleksandr Usyk and fighting all the other big names,” Fury said on his Instagram story.
Anthony joshua
“My opinion is not someone who doesn’t know boxing. My opinion is someone who has been there and won every single belt. Won everything there is to win in boxing and done very well. Boxing is a young man’s game, like I told Wladimir Klitschko when he was 37. Boxing is a young man’s game. It waits for nobody. So here is the opinion, and you heard it here first.
“Moses Itauma will wreck all them all old men out of the division. Usyk, AJ, Miller. Whoever there is that’s old. Zhang, whoever else the f*** there is, Luis Ortiz. All these big names of the past.
“Even the man who took my belts. Usyk, Moses will wreck him because it’s a young man versus an old man. And an old man can’t mess with a young man.”
It remains to be seen what lies next for Itauma and the heavyweight division, particularly should Usyk vacate his WBO belt as opposed to defending against mandatory challenger Joseph Parker.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s main event, promoter Frank Warren suggested the winner of Itauma and Whyte could secure a shot at Parker in the event of Usyk vacating.

“What’s next?” Itauma himself said after his win over Whyte. “Honestly, I will fight anyone they put in front of me.

Gervonta davis

“If I be completely honest, Joseph Parker [and Agit] Kabayel do deserve the shot [at Oleksandr Usyk] but I would love to take the opportunity as well.

“Chuck me in there with them lot!”

He now sits a perfect 13-0 as a professional, having stopped each of his last nine opponents inside three rounds.

Usyk is coming off a stunning knockout win over Daniel Dubois, which saw the Ukrainian pound-for-pound great become a three-time undisputed champion.

It’s Very Dangerous:Next Absolute Frontrunner’ For Anthony Joshua’s Next Fight Named: “It’s Very Dangerous”

Anthony Joshua is currently plotting his next move in the heavyweight division and it could seriously divide fans.

The two-time world champion and Olympic Gold Medalist will look to bounce back from a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois when he steps through the ropes again.

Though fans would like to see a long-awaited clash against Tyson Fury, ‘The Gypsy King’ remains adamant that he is retired and not interested. That leaves ‘AJ’ in the market for another opponent, and the current ‘frontrunner’ is as far away from Fury as you might get: Jake Paul.

Speaking to IFL TV, promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that his most recent meetings with Paul’s promotional company, MVP, have convinced him that their public calls to fight Joshua are legitimate.

Gervonta davis

“The thing that I wanted to understand is do they really want to fight AJ or is this just a publicity stunt. And I am 99% sure they want to fight Anthony Joshua … Right now, the absolute frontrunner for AJ is Jake Paul, February or March next year.”

The promoter then said that, whilst he understands the dangers the match-up possesses, those are outweighed by the potential scale of the event.

“I’ll stress, I think it’s a very dangerous call for Jake Paul. I don’t think the fight is overly competitive. Maybe Jake can do something and prove us all wrong. But people are gonna tune in to watch AJ demolish Jake Paul. It’s not a fight that we called for, it’s not a fight that we expected, it’s not a fight that I ever anticipated happening, but I also understand that it may be commercially one of the biggest in the sport.”

“This is just wild, that’s all it is … It’s mental that AJ could be fighting Jake Paul next, but when you look at it and see that it’s probably the biggest pay-per-view fight that could happen in the sport right now, you understand why it could happen.”

A decision is expected in the coming months, as Joshua, should he choose to stick to traditional boxing, could be out before the end of the year.

Anthony Joshua Draws Inspiration From Canelo as Jake Paul Gets Sidelined by Andre Ward Callout

He was knocked out cold last September, and months later underwent elbow surgery. It is now approaching a year since fans last saw Anthony Joshua in action. However, if not inside the ring, the former unified heavyweight champion still seems to be making waves outside it.

The Olympic gold medalist has once again become a hot commodity. News of a potential matchup with Jake Paul has already made headlines. But now, it appears Joshua has received a callout from a new suitor.

feature-image

JUST IN: ‘Usyk may be the best ever, but he’s never faced

On June 17, 2017, Andre Ward knocked out Sergey Kovalev to defend his unified light heavyweight championship. But just a month later, he stunned the boxing world by announcing his retirement. An Olympic gold medalist like Joshua, Ward has since made a name for himself as a boxing analyst and, more recently, a podcaster. However, the Hall of Famer believes he might still have one fight left in him. And a bout with Anthony Joshua appears, in his view, to be the best route to elevating his legacy. His callout, however, drew a sharp, Canelo-inspired retort from the British heavyweight.

Ward uploaded a video on Instagram, and the reason it went viral is quite simple. Speaking about his post-retirement journey, the 2021 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee said that if any fight could entice him back into the ring, it would be a face-off with Anthony Joshua. “Most days, I don’t miss it. I’m very content doing what I’m doing in life right now. Who would I fight? That’s the problem. It’s a lot of names out there, but it’s not a lot of names that make sense,” Ward said while sitting inside his car.

Still, there is one name that could potentially change the scenario. “If the business was right and everything was right on that front, me and Anthony Joshua,” Ward said before adding, “That’s a fight that I would take at Wembley Stadium.” He acknowledged. The fight could possibly put a dent in his legacy and even leave him physically hurt. Still, “that’s a fight that would get me in the gym and get me in the mindset that I need to be in to go to war. “It’s Anthony Joshua.”

Ward concluded while hurling a subtle jibe. Though talk of a Jake Paul fight has been gathering steam, AJ could still consider a ‘real fight.’ The post drew a string of comments and reactions, with close friend Andre Berto sounding particularly upbeat. However, it didn’t take long for Ward to receive a response from the man himself. Recalling Canelo’s past words, in which he accused Ward of calling him out purely for monetary reasons, Anthony Joshua fired back: “Pay Day Pay Day (Canelo).”

Andre Ward responded. “Anthony Joshua, of course, brother. Do you fight for free? Business is always a reason, but not the only reason. I think you understand that.”

Andre Ward sets sights on Anthony Joshua

When one user pointed out to Joshua that Ward had been calling him out for years, the English heavyweight issued a chilling reminder. Gauging fights merely by watching YouTube could prove detrimental. It’s different from a real fight.

It is certainly a surprising move from Andre Ward. Just months ago, he had seemingly expressed interest in facing Jake Paul!

To be fair to Andre Ward, this is not the first time he mentioned Anthony Joshua’s name. Four years ago, while speaking on ‘The AK & Barak Show,’ he minced no words. If he were to make a comeback, he would take Anthony Joshua first. When Barak Bess asked, “You make a comeback and you fight Anthony Joshua and beat him, or you make a comeback and fight Canelo and beat him,” Ward replied, “I’m going (for) Anthony Joshua.”

Whether the 35-year-old Anthony Joshua chooses to face an in-prime fighter like Jake Paul, whose star has been rising by leaps and bounds, or opts to settle the debate with an aging former world champion who has been out of the ring for eight years, is something fans will have to wait and see.

Rematch: Gervonta Davis Fires Off Clear Warning to Lamont Roach Jr as Rematch Remains Unconfirmed

Gervonta Davis has shared an update on the situation surrounding his rematch with Lamont Roach Jr

The 30-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland made a defence of his WBA world lightweight title against Roach earlier this year, with the fight ending in a split decision draw after a competitive twelve rounds at the Barclays Center in New York.

The result could have been very different however, after ‘Tank’ took a knee to the canvas during the ninth round after being on the receiving end of a Roach jab which referee Steve Willis failed to rule as an official knockdown. The champion later revealed that it was due to grease from his hair getting into his eyes.

A rematch between the pair is expected to take place in Las Vegas on August 16, with an announcement due in the coming weeks. There have been concerns around the delay in their second encounter being made official however, with both fighters going back and forth on social media in recent weeks.

In a post sent by Davis, the 30-year-old appeared to accuse Roach of holding out for a bigger purse this time around, which has left fans wondering whether the fight is actually going to go ahead.

“You should’ve been on that instead of calling for that $250k, [the f**k] is you waiting on? This bag bigger. THE F**K YOU FORGOT!”

Despite this, ‘Tank’ has also said:

“The plan is still the plan.”

Davis will have his sights set on righting the wrongs of the first fight and proving himself to still be the best lightweight on the planet, ahead of the likes of Shakur Stevenson.

The 30-year-old is also said to be considering a catchweight bout with Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. although it remains to be seen whether this controversial match-up will happen before the end of 2025.
