Malik Scott, head trainer for heavyweight Deontay Wilder, would love to see his man collide with fellow former world champion Anthony Joshua. Joshua returned to the ring earlier this month, when he picked up a twelve round unanimous decision over Jermaine Franklin. Wilder has been out of the ring since last October, when he knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round ...
Promoter George Warren of Queensberry Promotions feels confident that heavyweight contender Joe Joyce will still be involved in major fights. This past Saturday night at the Copper Box in London, Joyce was stopped in the sixth round by Chinese giant Zhilei Zhang.

Ryan Garcia has been amused—and at times bored—by the promises and threats made by Gervonta Davis ahead of their blockbuster fight. Both sides have vowed a knockout ending for their April 22 clash, which headlines a Showtime Pay-Per-View event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Robert Garcia has found it unfortunate that his one-time client, Anthony Joshua, interpreted his criticism as a sign of disrespect.
