SHOCK REVEALED: WHY ANTHONY JOSHUA THINKS TERENCE CRAWFORD IS MAKING A MASSIVE RETIREMENT MISTAKE
Anthony Joshua breaks the silence on Terence Crawford’s retirement, claiming the 42-0 legend "has so much more left."
Anthony Joshua was really surprised when Terence Crawford said he was retiring and thinks he shouldn't: 'He's got so much left!'
Like a lot of people, Anthony Joshua couldn't believe it when Terence Crawford said he was quitting.
Terence Crawford, who used to be the undisputed champ in three weight divisions and has held belts in five, said he was done with boxing.
Even though he's 38, Crawford looked great when he beat Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed super middleweight champ on September 13. But Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) apparently feels like he's had enough.
Joshua totally respects Crawford's choice, but he thinks Crawford, who's sure to be in the Hall of Fame, shouldn't retire yet.
Joshua, who used to be the heavyweight champ twice, talked to Rick Reeno on the Mr. Verzace Podcast before his fight on Friday.
“Terence Crawford has a lot more to give,” Joshua said. It's not just about his body; it's about his head. He's been boxing for a long time, so maybe he's just mentally tired of it, even if he's still in good shape.”
Terence Crawford did more than most fighters, but he still had choices. Alvarez wanted to fight him again later next year. Also, Jaron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz are two of many fighters who've been wanting to fight him.
But it sounds like Crawford is satisfied with his boxing career and is waiting for his Hall of Fame call. Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) will be a little bummed if Crawford doesn't want to come back. Still, he knows Crawford has given his life to boxing and can retire when he wants.
“I’d love to see him keep fighting,” Joshua said. “I think he's still got it, but everyone has to live by their own rules.”
REVEALED: WHY ANDREW TATE OFFICIALLY ADMITTED HE IS "TOO OLD" FOR JAKE PAUL
"I'm not ready for Jake." Andrew Tate breaks the silence after his loss to Chase DeMoor, as Paul undergoes surgery for his jaw.
Jake Paul and Andrew Tate are pretty well-known for stirring up controversy online, so when they both lost this weekend, people had different reactions.
Everyone was waiting for this weekend because Jake Paul and Andrew Tate were both fighting.
First up, The Problem Child fought Anthony Joshua on Friday night. It didn't go well for Paul. Joshua landed a right hand that broke Paul's jaw. Ouch.
Then, less than a day later, Cobra Tate had his first pro boxing match. He lost to Chase DeMoor.
So, who should Jake Paul fight next? Even after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua, he still wants a world title.
Tate says he's not ready to fight Jake Paul. Even though Paul lost to the former heavyweight champ, people seemed to respect him a bit more since he lasted six rounds.
Even though this loss probably means he won't be going for a title anytime soon, he's still a pretty good boxer.
Tate, on the other hand, didn't do so great. People online, including fans and other fighters, have been giving him a hard time.
Since both Tate and The Problem Child lost, fans are talking about them fighting each other, even though they're not really at the same level.
But Tate knows he's not as good as Paul, who's 28, and he responded to the calls for a fight by saying,
I'm not ready for Jake. Time is the fire in which we all burn. Fighting is for young men.
Jake Paul had surgery right after his loss. As soon as Joshua hit him, Paul knew his jaw was messed up.
Even though he was hurt, the 28-year-old drove himself to the hospital and had surgery just a few hours later.
Paul will probably be back in the ring around the middle of 2026, and he's said he'll probably fight as a cruiserweight again.
OFFICIAL SCORECARDS: ANALYZING THE 58-56 DECISION IN DEMOOR VS. TATE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT.
Chase DeMoor defends his Misfits Heavyweight title against Andrew Tate. Full round-by-round recap and official scorecards here.
So, Andrew Tate and Chase DeMoor went at it for the Misfits heavyweight title in Dubai this past Saturday at the Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Tate, you know, that controversial guy and ex-kickboxer (76-9-1 record), was back in the boxing ring after not fighting for years. DeMoor, who used to play football and is now an influencer boxer, came into this fight hot, already holding the Misfits heavyweight belt and having defended it twice.
Round 1
Both guys started in a normal stance. Tate came out throwing jabs and got in a right hand as DeMoor was feeling him out. DeMoor didn't throw much but kept his guard up. Tate went to the body and then switched stances to land a good right. He kept the pressure on, like Ferguson does, making DeMoor play defence. Tate landed a combo at the end, so he probably got the points for that round.
Round 2
DeMoor came out more aggressively, getting in Tate's face and landing a solid right. Tate answered back, scoring on the inside while pushing DeMoor back. Lots of holding and rough stuff in this round, with DeMoor landing a right hand here and there. Near the end, DeMoor pushed Tate down; the ref stopped them for a second before the round ended.
Round 3
Tate looked like he was getting tired as DeMoor made him work. DeMoor landed a good right, and Tate started to slow down. DeMoor, being younger, kept the pressure on and forced Tate to hold a lot. Even though he was tired, Tate still got some shots in there, showing he's got some skill and knows how to defend himself. But DeMoor kept control with his pressure and inside game.
Round 4
DeMoor started working on Tate's body in this round. Tate tried to stay active, but DeMoor's size and energy started to be a problem for him. Lots of action on the inside. Tate landed some jabs and hooks, but DeMoor took the hits and kept coming. DeMoor was able to push Tate around and land his own shots.
Round 5
Tate opened up a cut on DeMoor's nose, but it didn't seem to bother DeMoor, who looked fresh. Lots of holding and pushing early in the round, with DeMoor landing some big uppercuts. Tate couldn't really get anything going, looking tired. DeMoor landed a series of big shots that had Tate against the ropes, but Tate managed to survive the round by holding and just toughing it out.
Round 6
In the last round, Tate was clearly gassed; his feet were slow, and his punches had no power. DeMoor took advantage, attacking and throwing short combos. Tate tried to defend, but DeMoor kept the pressure on. DeMoor landed uppercuts and hooks, testing Tate's toughness. By the end, DeMoor was in control, and Tate was just trying to survive by holding on.
