CHARLES MCDONAGH EXTENDS WINNING STREAK TO FOUR FIGHTS
Charles 'The Dream' McDonagh moves to 4-0 as a pro, outpointing the awkward Kasey Bradnum in Newtownabbey. The Dungannon southpaw is now set to step up to six-round bouts, starting with a fight in Glasgow this January.

"The Dream" by Charles In Mossley Mill, Newtownabbey, McDonagh defeated the "awkward" Kasey Bradnum via unanimous decision, continuing his successful start to his professional boxing career.
The Dungannon man admitted, "It went well, it was a good four rounds under the belt." He was an ungainly foe.
He was attempting to make fun of me, which made him awkward. He was attempting to be a complete pain by echoing what my coach was saying during one of those arguments.
To let him know he was not bothering me, I simply winked at him a few times and retained my composure.
With his most recent victory, the southpaw's record now stands at 4-0, and he has another fight scheduled for early 2026. Charles is thrilled with the amount of knowledge he has gained in his first year of professional competition.
He noted, "I have learned something new from each of my four fights."
"Every fight has been different because he was trying to make fun of me, he was awkward, and the prior guy was heavier and came at me more. I am extremely delighted with how it went for my first year as a professional fighter."
It is fantastic that I am learning so much from every battle.
I was questioned about first-round knockouts, but I said that they are useless for someone just starting in their career because you need to put in more effort in your training, and the more rounds you have under your belt, the more professional experience you will get.
"At some boxing levels, you discover that some of the best fighters are knocking out their first ten opponents in the second round, and then they are struggling or getting beaten when they actually face a decent person."
McDonagh is eager to get to six rounds and will return to action on January 15th when he fights in Glasgow for the second time as a professional.
Since I felt the first round [against Bradnum] was more like chess, trying to figure him out, I am looking forward to that, even though you see four rounds.
He said, "I was letting my hands go a bit more towards the end of the second round, and then the third and fourth rounds were my best two rounds, but the fight was over then."
"I think you will see the best of me over six, eight, or ten rounds if the fights continue, as I was just beginning to enjoy it at that point."
ANTHONY JOSHUA’S FUTURE CLARIFIED —EDDIE HEARN TACKLES THREE BIG RUMOURS
Anthony Joshua's next move is unclear as promoter Eddie Hearn addresses trainer change rumours, a potential Jake Paul fight, and a possible 2025 return. The focus remains on a future Tyson Fury mega-fight.

The boxing community is speculating about Anthony Joshua's future move.
The former world heavyweight champion has not competed since Daniel Dubois knocked him out at Wembley Stadium a year ago.
However, he is considering a comeback to the ring and laying the groundwork for a big battle with Tyson Fury.
He has a number of interesting alternatives on the table, but it is unclear what he will do next. Three rumours regarding Joshua's potential next move were dispelled by his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Is Joshua going to get a new trainer?
Joshua's last three fights, which ended in a knockout loss against Dubois, were coached by Ben Davison.
However, he just travelled to Spain to attend the training camp where his previous opponent, the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, is getting ready.
However, that does not imply that Joshua will turn to Usyk's inner group for advice.
When asked if Joshua would split from Davison by Matchroom's Flash Knockdown, Hearn said, "I do not think there is any confirmed decision on that."
"AJ travels the world a lot, as you are aware. He enjoys exploring, going to training camps, and learning new things.
"He is currently engaged in that activity.
It is commonly known that he visited the Usyk team and collaborated with them.
"I do not believe anything is official. And Anthony Joshua will be the one to make an official announcement.
Will Joshua and Jake Paul face off?
Jake Paul, a YouTuber who is now a boxer, has brazenly added Joshua to his list of opponents.
Paul has previously told ESPN, "That is the most hazardous fight for me right now."
The disparity in size is striking. Joshua weighed 52 pounds more than Paul, who had battled at 200 pounds.
But Hearn has set the stage for an incredible battle versus Paul.
"Why not run out versus Jake Paul for a lot of money if we are going to have a run-out fight?" he said. Discussions are going on.
"I am unable to confirm that we have seen a contract or that it is close. However, I do not see why we would not have the opportunity to fight Joshua if he truly wants to.
"A run for the world heavyweight title and at Tyson Fury are our main priorities. However, we also do not influence that. Hearn further stated:
"Talks with Jake Paul's team have taken place."I am not sure if that is a possibility.
In 2025, will Joshua compete on short notice?
Due to the difficulty of organising a fight of Joshua's calibre, turnarounds with little notice are practically impossible.
However, Hearn's statement to DAZN that Joshua may still compete in 2025 generated controversy.
The diary's entries for the dates of December 6, 13, 17, 20, and 27 were the focus of attention.
Joshua has the opportunity to realise his dream of fighting on the African continent when Craig Richards and Dan Azeez square off in Ghana on December 17.
Hearn gave an update, saying, "I am not sure if he will fight in 2025. The likelihood that he can is high. However, when I say that, people ask, 'where' and begin to examine every possible location.
"He is looking to fight and has begun training camp. That may happen in February, versus Jake Paul, or on one of our current concerts, but at this point, anything is possible."
Regarding his earlier remark that Joshua might fight this year, Hearn stated: "It has really caused me a lot of issues! They are speculating as to whether it is Ghana, Birmingham, or Stockton. "I do not know," is the response.
"There are negotiations regarding a hypothetical Anthony Joshua fight in Africa in 2026," Hearn added.
VERGIL ORTIZ JR READY TO DOMINATE ERICKSON LUBIN WITH TRADE WARFARE
Adam Booth believes Vergil Ortiz Jr. will defeat Erickson Lubin by stoppage in their junior middleweight bout. Read the top trainer's full breakdown of why Ortiz's relentless pressure will be too much for the skilled southpaw.

After engaging Erickson Lubin in a "trade up," Adam Booth claims that Vergil Ortiz Jr. will stop him.
Booth, who is tasked with getting his fighter Josh Kelly ready for his 2026 IBF title matchup with Bakhram Murtazaliev, will be watching the Saturday night bout between the opposing junior middleweights at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
On January 31, England's Kelly is scheduled to take on Murtazaliev, ending the Russian's more than a year-long hiatus after he defeated the esteemed Tim Tszyu in three rounds. Perhaps because of Murtazaliev's notoriety, the 30-year-old Lubin preferred to face Ortiz Jr.. Still, Booth believes Ortiz Jr. is just as dangerous and believes Lubin will not be able to handle his intensity.
Booth told BoxingScene, "Ortiz is a relentless pressure fighter who consistently creeps into range and lets rip with rapid, deadly blows, whether you punch or not." His vulnerability is that he can get caught when he opens up; however, these instances are much outweighed by his accomplishments.
"Lubin is a skilled competitor and a top operator. A smooth and competent southpaw. [But] even the best punchers can injure him.
When asked why he thinks Lubin preferred to fight the 27-year-old Ortiz over Murtazaliev, whom he is eager for Kelly to challenge, Booth, who is based in Surrey, England and was once the trainer of Andy Lee, George Groves, and David Haye, among others, said: "I suspect the Ortiz fight would be more commercially attractive."
Ortiz will win by stoppage, in my opinion. He will benefit from a "trade up" because of his strength and perseverance.
