Anthony Joshua wants to keep fighting and is aiming for the fight everyone dreams of

In May, Anthony Joshua (28-4; 25 KOs) announced that he would undergo surgery on his elbow, which would keep him out of training for six to eight weeks. This meant that a hypothetical fight against Tyson Fury (34-2-1; 24 KOs) was unlikely to happen in 2025.

The last time AJ stepped into a ring was in September 2024. The former world heavyweight champion was stopped in five rounds by then-IBF champion Daniel Dubois. On the other hand, the ‘Gypsy King’ has been out of the ring since last December, when he succumbed for the second time to Oleksandr Usyk. Fury even retired once again – for the fourth time – after that defeat.

Jake Paul’s red flag sparks fan warning to his fiancée

Joshua is already working in the gym and planning his comeback. Speaking to Sky Sports, his promoterEddie Hearn, explained what the next steps for his fighter will be: “We have to choose carefully the next fight, and I think the best way to do that is to be honest and say it will be a comeback fight to have a shot next summer. We want it to be against Tyson Fury [summer 2026]. If not, it will be another huge fight,” said Hearn, adding: “We need a ‘top 15’ fighter now. It’s not going to be Fury, Usyk, Dubois or all those heavyweights. We need someone so that AJ can come back in a competitive fight after being out for more than a year and prepare for what will be his last chance”.

The British promoter is clear that AJ’s return will be more about getting a feel for things and gaining confidence, and that in the summer of 2026 is when they will attempt a big fight. He points to Tyson Fury, and the British public and the boxing world in general deserves this duel, even if it comes very late. The winner of the two would achieve a good position. If the ‘Gypsy King’ is looking for another shot at Usyk, the best thing he can do is to go against Joshua first. A Joshua-Itauma fight would not be bad either, as it would bring together the ‘old lion’ and the new contender to become the alpha male

Top NFL player prop expert’s best bets for Week 5 include backing Drake Maye

At his weekly press conference on Wednesday, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was asked about the origin of his friendship with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, whom he will battle in this week's Sunday Night Football game in upstate New York.Maye explained the two quarterbacks share the same agency, Creative Artists Agency. He then continued, "We share a lot of the same things. We like playing golf. He's very down-to-earth. I like to say I'm down-to-earth."But Maye didn't mention arguably the most important thing that the two have in common right now: they're both playing winning football. From a statistical standpoint, the similarities between the Patriots' second-year starter and the reigning NFL MVP are uncanny. Drake MayeJosh AllenCompletion pct74.070.2Passing YPG247.0241.0TD-Int ratio7-27-1Passer rating109.4109.7Rush TD23What in the name of Tom Brady is going on?

Spurs break their curse with win at Leeds thanks to two deflected strikes

Tottenham ended their international break curse with a 2-1 win at Leeds to go within a point of Premier League leaders Liverpool thanks to deflected strikes from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus.Spurs had lost their last seven matches immediately before each mid-season pause since a 1-0 win at Luton on October 7, 2023 nearly two years ago to the day, but luck was on their side at Leeds, whose unbeaten run at home in the league ends after more than a year. Both of Spurs' goals went in against the run of play after taking a deflection off Leeds defender Pascal Struijk. The impressive Noah Okafor tapped in a deserved first-half equaliser for the hosts after Tel's opener but Kudus sealed the win with his first goal for Spurs.

The rejuvenation of George Springer: How Blue Jays veteran got conviction back as he swings for another title

TORONTO — George Springer steps to the plate in the final game of the regular season at the Rogers Centre. Right foot first, then left. He taps the plate with the tip of his bat. Takes a deep breath.Springer feels it again. It swells from within. It sits on his shoulders. Runs through his hands. It's not a sensation, but the absence of one. A tangible calm. For a time, he thought he lost it. Age, the relentless failure of baseball, his own inner dialogue, they conspired to rob him of perhaps his greatest strength. But as he digs his cleats into the dirt and stares at the mound, he believes it's back.Conviction. "I essentially got away from me being who I was," Springer said, "and what kind of made me successful."It's always been his secret sauce. The permission for his […]
