Former unified heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) British Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) turned to ex-opponent Wladimir Klitschko – he learned how best and most effectively to help Ukraine in the war against Russian invaders.
“Most of all, civilians got from Russian bombs,”
Joshua says. – Therefore, Klitschko recommended that I help those organizations that provide first aid to injured civilians. He asked me to record a video. But I believe that actions should speak louder than words. I try not to spoil myself with expensive purchases so that I have the opportunity to help others. I help people in Ukraine and Nigeria. And I do it with all my heart.”

And here is his brother Jake (5-0, 4 KOs)
spoke harshly about British prospect Tommy Fury (8-0, 5 KOs) and his brother, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs): “Tommy hides and does not get in touch. The bitch is ordinary. His brother is good too. In words, he gave the go-ahead to bet 1 million bucks on his brother’s victory, but in reality his lawyer is freezing from mine – of course, he never put any money on the deposit. Now it’s clear how much he “believes” in his brother. Well then. I’ll have to look for another opponent.”
It was previously rumored that Mayweather or Conor could save the show.
The sensational WBC super flyweight champion (up to 52.2 kg) American Jesse Rodriguez (16-0, 11 KOs) seems to still try to conquer another division in the next fight – up to 50.8 kg.

An intriguing light heavyweight fight (up to 79.4 kg) for the WBO Global and WBC Silver titles between former contenders Briton Callum Johnson (20-1, 14 KOs) and Russian Igor Mikhalkin (24-3, 11 KOs).
The guest comments on the cancellation of the fight: “We should have fought back in 2020. But first there was a transfer, and then a pandemic. When I was informed that two belts would be at stake, I was just beside myself with happiness. Imagine my disappointment with Johnson’s demarche. He says he has an injury. Did he get injured two days before the fight? I think he just wants to avoid a fight. But for this he will only have to hang gloves on a nail.
The legendary Juan Francisco Estrada (42-3, 28 KOs) from Mexico and Roman Gonzalez (51-3, 41 KOs) from Nicaragua will still have a third fight.
According to
ESPN MexicoWBC Franchise / WBA Super super flyweight champion (up to 52.2 kg) Estrada refused to fight the WBA World champion in the same division, American Joshua Franco (18-1-2, 8 KOs), which automatically opened up the opportunity for the third fight with Gonzalez.
The fight is tentatively scheduled for November/December. So far, everyone has 1 win. The source suggests that in this case, the Mexican will have to give up the WBA Super belt.
Meanwhile, promoter Eddie Hearn believes the division has a new king: “Would you bet on Gonzalez and Estrada right now?”
