Anthony Joshua started working hard at the beginning of last week, according to promoter Eddie Hearn. This suggests that the boxer has started getting ready for the eagerly awaited fight against Tyson Fury. Joshua is now the owner of the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts; Fury is the owner of the WBC belt. All five of the world heavyweight boxing championship belts will be united by the winner.
Eddie Hearn said, “We’re impatient just like you. Both Fury and Anthony Joshua (AJ) have been training more diligently. They are both really eager to participate in the ring.”
Since defeating Kubrat Pulev in December of last year, Anthony Joshua has only engaged in light training, and Tyson Fury has not engaged in intense training for over a year. The organizers are working hard right now to finish the contract, which still needs some clarification on the venue, match copyright, and the distribution ratio between the parties.
Eddie Hearn: “What Were The Options For Tank?” Regarding Davis-Roach
Eddie Hearn, the promoter, is not perturbed by Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ selection of Lamont Roach Jr., a super featherweight, as his opponent on December 14. He believes the absence of the major names left Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) with no choice but to compete in December. Nobody Is Available Hearn claims that Tank, the WBA lightweight champion, had no choice but to avoid these fighters for various reasons. Ryan Garcia is suspended; Shakur Stevenson is injured; Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz was recently beaten; and Devin Haney was defeated. Vasily Lomachenko: Made the decision to miss the rest of 2024. Not as well-known as Lamont Roach are the other boxers Tank Davis may have faced, like Edin De Los Santos, Andy Cruz, Keyshawn Davis, and Raymond Muratalla. Tank Davis’ pick of Roach would not have increased PPV buys, and casual boxing would not be aware of who they are, even if he had chosen one of them.
The response I’ve seen online seems a little bit unjust. Although everyone despises fighting, Lamont Roach is a skilled fighter. The issue is that nobody knows who Tank is, and because of his standing in the sport, people want to see him in huge fights, even though this one isn’t that big,” Eddie Hearn remarked to Fight Hub TV on Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. Lamont Roach Jr. on December 14. Tank is Safe and Secure. The outcry has been sparked by more than just the fact that nobody knows who Roach is. The true problem lies with the die-hard boxing enthusiasts who are aware of Roach’s background and are unwilling to watch Tank Davis take on him. Casual won’t likely give a damn because, except from Ryan Garcia, they don’t know who any of Tank Davis’s previous opponents were. NEWS: Tank Davis Responds to a Fan’s Critique of the Lamont Roach Fight Tank’s promoters have regarded him like a valuable item that needs to be guarded, therefore they haven’t made the extra effort to match him against fighters that fans are familiar with. His professional earnings have been curtailed, but it has kept him winning and chugging along. Had he faced well-known opposition during the previous 11 years, he would have amassed far more wealth. “It’s a great fight, if you know boxing, but he’s a super featherweight; he’s much smaller than Tank,” Hearn remarked.
“It’s not a bad fight, but because no one is familiar with Lamont Roach, it’s gone horribly wrong. However, what were Tank’s actual options? He is unwilling to battle Shakur, and Shakur sustained injuries. Similar to Tank’s previous battle with Frank Martin, Tank vs. Roach is a solid bout. This one will be mismatched just as that one was. The sole distinction is that Roach lacks any power and won’t be able to stop Tank. He resembles Shakur Stevenson on a poor man’s scale. That could have been a factor in Tank’s decision to go with Roach. He’ll aid him in getting ready for Shakur.Haney stays away from fighting. There is no Ryan Garcia rematch. Pitbull Cruz was defeated, therefore that was undoubtedly the fight they would have. Valencia is not prepared. Overall, I understand, but it won’t get a lot of attention because the Tank vs. Roach contest isn’t widely known, despite being a pretty strong fight, Hearn said.
