Frank Bruno has shared the ring with Lennox Lewis and has now predicted how he would have got on with heavyweight legend George Foreman. Lewis and Bruno fought in what was billed as The Battle of Britain on 1 October 1993, with Bruno in his third world title bout following losses to Tim Witherspoon and Mike Tyson.

The late, great Marvin Hagler gave a shock answer when revealing the most durable opponent that he ever shared a ring with. ‘Marvelous Marvin’ established himself as a dominant force at 160lbs from the early 1980s where he would reign as the undisputed world middleweight champion for seven years between 1980 and 1987.

Promoter Frank Warren has addressed the proposed location of the long-awaited showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The all-British heavyweight clash has been years in the making. Both men have enjoyed multiple reigns as world champion over the last decade and, despite regularly being linked to one another, have never managed to settle their rivalry inside the ring.

Derek Chisora thinks there is one perfect fight out there for Rico Verhoeven. The legendary heavyweight kickboxer shocked the world in what was only his second ever boxing match many years after his debut. He showed great technical skill, footwork and fitness to get himself ahead on the cards against Oleksandr Usyk, who is widely regarded as one of the best to ever do it and a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.

Derek Chisora has been asked for his view on how the upcoming showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury might play out. This all-British heavyweight clash has been called for, and teased, for several years. Both men’s careers have run concurrently for more than a decade, and both have become world champions on two occasions each. Finally, both Fury and Joshua have been bested by Oleksandr Usyk twice.

Tony Bellew has spoken about how Rico Verhoeven would fare in fights against Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. Dutch kickboxing champion Verhoeven shocked the world when he put in a more-than-competitive display against two-time undisputed heavyweight ruler Oleksandr Usyk last month. He was up on the cards after 10 rounds, and was only undone in the 11th when he was caught several times with big shots by Usyk, and the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

One of boxing’s top trainers, Robert Garcia, has weighed in on the upcoming showdown between Mexican great Canelo Alvarez and the hard-hitting Christian Mbilli. Canelo is set to make his much-anticipated return to the ring later this year The 35-year-old from Guadalajara has been out of action since he suffered the third defeat of his professional career to former pound-for-pound star Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford in September of last year.

Perhaps the most exciting prospect in world boxing, Moses Itauma, is set to make his much-anticipated return to the ring in a huge step-up in opposition. The highly-rated Brit was last in action back in March when he became the first man to stop durable American heavyweight Jermaine Franklin in the fifth round of their clash at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester.

A legend of the heavyweight division has claimed he deserves to be ranked higher than the late, great Muhammad Ali. Known simply as ‘The Greatest’, Ali had an outstanding professional career which began back in the 1960s after he captured an Olympic Gold Medal following his performance at the 1960 Games in Rome, Italy.

Moses Itauma could be about to announce his next opponent for a fight later in the summer. Itauma is one of the most exciting new names in the heavyweight division. The Brit is just 21 and for a while had his eyes on becoming the youngest ever heavyweight world champion as he tried to pick up a belt before turning 20 to beat the long-standing record of Mike Tyson.
