The guy is 20-1, with all 20 wins by knockout, his last 3 fights ended in the first round by knockout. Just because he hasn’t fought anybody or been tested doesn’t mean he can’t knockout AJ. It’s heavyweight boxing. The guy is 6’6 260 so a legit heavyweight.

This guy he is about to fight just knocked out Joey Dwajiko, the man rumored to have knocked out AJ in sparring prior to the Andy Ruiz fight. That would have been a better fight than this because it has a storyline and Joey is on a three fight losing streak.

I just don’t understand why AJ doesn’t take easy tune ups, we’ve never see him fight a Sefer Safari, Tom Schwarz or a Francisco Pianetta and I would prefer if he did! Or like Wilder fighting Tyrone Perdon or whatever the hell his name was.

The last time I was worried Joshua would lose is to Otto Wallin and he would ruin the Joshua-Wilder fight that was supposed to happen, Wilder ended up ruining that though by losing to Joseph Parker.

This Prenga guy seems like a puncher though, so that’s a problem. I didnt like AJ fighting Andy Ruiz in American debut either, he should’ve fought someone much easier. Now I’m genuinely concerned until July 25th that we may not get the Fury fight on top of everything else that can happen from now until November.

Is it common or not advisable? I might consider getting into Amateur boxing within the next year - however, I feel more aligned with Rocky's fighting style; more of a brawler, than technique. Also similar to Mike Tyson - although, Mike had technique besides punching power.

I'm 5'5 1/2 btw.

Thank you for your input!

I'm excited to watch these guys do their thing! I'm excited for this tankard of aussie fighters trying to prove their boxing ability. I see so many other places showcase their brand of boxing, but this feels like a world event. I am not making any predictions, of course, but this is compelling stuff. The production of the event is leaving a lot of meat on the bone, but I think there will be some major statements made inside the ring. What are y'alls thoughts?

i recently started to watch combat sports
but one thing keeps bugging me why boxing is not as popular as it used to be ? or am i missing something ?
nowadays ufc is more popular than boxing like out of 100 people more than 90 will recognise conor/khabib/jones etc but maybe 60-70 people will recognise usyk/terrance/canelo
why is that ?
was it always like this ? or something happened to boxing over the time ?
please if anyone can explain i will really appreciate that

You look at all these boxers from the 1960s and 1970s and all they did was hundreds of push ups, sit ups, squats and runs on top of an intense boxing session. How do their muscles even have time to recover? They take a 1 day rest. Can someone explain I'm so confused, can I do push ups every day? If not then how come these boxers could?

Hey guys, in exploring what's made Muhammad Ali so great, I've spent over a year researching, writing, and creating a feature film on Ali called "G.O.AT.: Muhammad Ali's Blueprint to Greatness." I am now *bEyOnD* stoked to finally get to share the Official Trailer with you all! Hope you like it! 🤗

Seems like boxing is starting to have these younger fighters find their voice and actually want some smoke with anyone. Not all, but a few are starting to separate themselves as the ones down to fight anyone. Like boots wants anyone near him it seems like now and As much as I don’t like him, Deebo dev really is starting to come off as one joining the ranks. Who else you got?

For context the ranks he is joining are people like bam inoue, and beterbiev… I see a few young names actually backing their talk, but want to see if people got the same thoughts as me…

I’ve been using a cheap pair of 16oz gloves for the past year and they’re starting to fall apart. The padding has gone flat, my wrists feel unsupported during longer sessions, and they’re getting pretty uncomfortable. I want to upgrade to something with better quality and durability.

I’ve been looking around and found Top King Boxing. I really liked how their gloves are made from genuine leather and seem built for serious training. The wrist support and overall feel look solid compared to what I have now.

Has anyone here used Top King gloves or have any other recommendations for good quality 16oz gloves that hold up well? I’m mainly doing bag work and some light sparring, so I want something that protects my hands without breaking the bank.
