"FURY HAS ACCEPTED THE WHYTE FIGHT!" EDDIE HEARN ON JOSHUA-RUIZ/WILDER/FURY/WHYTE/SAUNDERS & MORE

RE: Heavyweight Division - justafan - 05-29-2019
Meant to post this one a few days ago. At around 8:40 Hearn says he has a fight lined up for Del Boy on July 20 and said the guy is there or thereabouts when asked if the opponent was top 15. If it was Parker I'm sure he would be talking it up much more than that.

Wilder announces rematch with Ortiz
WBC heavyweight champion Deontay has announced his next fight via social media:
To all my fans,
I want to announce that Luis Ortiz and I have signed for a rematch, with the date and site to be announced shortly. All my controversial fights must get dealt with ASAP‼️
#BombZquad
This comes as no surprise since Ortiz was interviewed in the ring by Showtime right after Wilder’s KO of Dominic Breazeale.

Joe Joyce to face Bryant Jennings July 13
Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Joe Joyce (9-0, 9 KOs) will face his toughest test as a professional when he tackles former world title challenger Bryant Jennings (24-3, 14KOs) on the ‘Heavy Duty’ show at The O2, London on July 13. The Londoner is being fast-tracked to the top and a successful WBA Gold title defense against the American star will move him even closer to a world title challenge.
The potentially explosive encounter is the co-feature bout on a blockbuster card headlined by the vacant British heavyweight championship clash between young guns Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman.
Joyce annihilated another former world title challenger Alexander Ustinov earlier this month and admits: “This should be my toughest fight to date. Bryant Jennings has been in very big fights and he gave Wladimir Klitschko a tough night before he fought Tyson Fury.”
Jennings lost on points when he challenged Ukrainian great Wladimir Klitschko for his world titles at Madison Square Garden in April 2015.
He then lost to Cuban Luis Ortiz before going on a five-fight winning streak. That run ended in January with a 12th round setback against unbeaten Oscar Rivas, a fight many believe Jennings was winning until the dramatic final round.
Olympic silver medallist Joyce added: ”He is also probably Luis Ortiz’s best win. I respect Bryant for stepping up and taking this fight. I intend to send a statement to the heavyweight division on July 13th and it won’t be long before I get my hands on those big titles.”
Jennings holds good wins over former European Champion Alexander Dimitrenko, Artur Szpilka and Mike Perez. Victory on the road against Joyce will kick-start his world title hopes again.
The Philadelphia contender says: “This is a high-risk, good-reward fight. It makes getting in the ring worth it. I don’t mind the test. I don’t mind the challenge. That’s just who I am.
“I am the only one who can beat myself. Nobody can beat me. When I’ve lost, it’s been because of me, not my opponent.”
And Jennings warned this is just a start of a mission to topple British heavyweights adding: “I am ready to go now. The Oscar Rivas fight is in the past, and I’m ready for the challenge that’s ahead of me.
“After this, I’m coming after all the other UK heavyweights. They are the ones running the division.”
Promoter Frank Warren added: “World heavyweight boxing is absolutely flying at the moment and our Heavy Duty night on July 13th just got bigger.
“Bryant Jennings is a quality fighter who operates at world level and this is the perfect fight for Joe to showcase his credentials and put himself in the running for major titles.
“This is a step up in class for Joe and a mark of the progress he has made after just ten fights as a pro.
“It is the opportunity for him to post a big message to the heavyweight champions and contenders that a new force is rapidly making up the ground towards world title contention.
“This is a great fight added to what is already shaping up to being a fantastic card for the fans at the o2 Arena.”
Joyce v Jennings is promoted by Queensberry Promotions in association with Ringstar Sports and Top Rank.
Richard Schaefer of Ringstar Sports said: “The heavyweight division is the glamour division of boxing again. Indeed July 13th will be another glamorous night for Joe Joyce.
“With Bryant Jennings, he has the biggest and most dangerous opponent of his career but I am sure that ‘The Juggernaut’ will pass with flying colours and continue his march towards the heavyweight championship of the world.”
Bryant’s promoter Bob Arum added: “People will see how dangerous Bryant Jennings really is.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see him easily beat Joe Joyce. Bryant has fought the best heavyweights in the world, and Joe has seen nothing like him as a professional.”

RE: Heavyweight Division - tm7 - 06-04-2019
I actually agree with that list 10/10. I think Wilder will be found out sooner or later and end up around #4 or #5 but until then you have to go on his current resume

RE: Heavyweight Division - craigyid14 - 06-04-2019
I think the Joshua loss has made the division a bit more exciting at the moment, hopefully they'll all fight each other now. It has to be considered as one of the weaker eras though, there's no Tyson,Lewis,Holyfield or Klitscko brothers. Wilder has power, but is a very basic boxer. Fury is entertaining in and out of the ring but has powder punches, no technique. Even slaps.... And Joshua, well he lost to a little fatty and got completely found out.
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 06-04-2019
I think the era isn't that bad
throw in the just belows
Whyte
Parker
Pulev
Joyce
etc etc and you have some potentially entertaining fights coming up.. especially if Ruiz has 1-2 belts taken off him before the rematch which will encourage some risky fights that may not have happened
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 06-04-2019
I think AJ is getting a bad rap. Sure, he got his ass handed to him by Ruiz. But I never thought Ruiz was a massive underdog. Yes, an underdog, but not massive. AJ beat some really good fighters in Klit, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, etc. It's just that Ruiz was all wrong for him. A fighter who has fast enough hands to get the better of the exchanges. Remember, Wilder has been rocked before too, and Ortiz almost had him outta there. Exciting division where anyone of about 8 fighters could beat the other on the day.
