With the heavyweight division’s three top heavyweights – Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua – all with different promotions, making a fight between any of the trio becomes difficult. Currently, Top Rank […]

Anthony Joshua will make his United States debut very soon.

The WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion will defend his throne against Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller from Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 1st. Many fans have been calling for Joshua to fight either Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder next.

However, with Fury recently signing with ESPN, Wilder with Showtime, and Joshua with DAZN, any of those match-ups are looking very unlikely. Fury spoke to The Sun recently, and was asked about Joshua’s fight against Miller. Fury revealed he once sparred with Miller inside the ring, and ended up dropping the American seven times (via Talk Sport):

“I was back home in Morecambe and I needed a sparring partner,” Fury said. “The first person that sprang to mind was Jarrell Miller, I thought he’ll be good sparring for me.

“Obviously I wasn’t a world champion at the time, he came over to Morecambe and we sparred at a local gym. I’m not going to go into too much detail, but I hired him for two weeks sparring, I ended up sending him back home after one day sparring.

“I put him down seven times in the first spar and I sent him home packing back to the USA.”

Miller currently holds an undefeated record of 23-0-1. In his last fight, he defeated Bogdan Dinu back in November with a fourth-round knockout. He’s hoping to defeat Joshua, who is also undefeated at 22-0 with 21 of those wins coming by knockout.

If Miller is able to pull off the upset over Joshua, it would be one of the biggest in the sport’s history.

So much for April 27 as a possible date for the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury WBC heavyweight title rematch.

According to Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel, the April 27 date is now off the table (h/t Boxing Talk).

Wilder and Fury fought to a controversial split draw in their first go-round last December. After the classic fight, the WBC ordered a rematch. However, a May 18 date was shot down and now April 27 is a no-go. The WBC will now reportedly begin to put pressure on both boxers’ managers.

“I have personally been in communications with both parties regarding the matter,” WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said in a recent interview with Sunsport.

“Both have expressed that there is goodwill negotiations and are moving in good direction. I will continue to monitor and will assess by Monday if there is need for WBC intervention. The goal is always for promoters to reach agreements and this is a very important fight for the world of boxing and it is our duty to exhaust all remedies to reach the goal.”

Anytime astronomical sums of money are on the line it takes a long time for both parties to get on the same page. That being said, these men are largely responsible for reviving heavyweight boxing. So hopefully everyone plays well and we get this fight sometime in the first half of 2019.

Boxing’s stagnating heavyweight division has seen a strong revival thanks to Wilder, Fury, and Anthony Joshua. Yet the inability to get the potentially huge fights made could halt that momentum.

Two events featuring boxing heavyweight star Tyson Fury have been called off due to some threatening graffiti, per the Irish Times.

The events were scheduled to take place in both Dublin and Cork over the next few days. The Irish Times quotes the Garda Press Office, who claims management at Dublin’s Helix, one of the venues for the scheduled events, found threatening graffiti suggesting a “repeat of the Regency shooting”.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Regency shooting, it occurred back in 2016. Armed men wearing masks entered the Regency hotel during weigh-ins for a boxing event. David Byrne, a former training partner of Conor McGregor, was killed in the attack. Two others suffered non-fatal injuries.

Bryne was a suspected high-level member of the Kinahan Cartel, who have been alleged to distribute illegal drugs throughout Ireland. Patrick Hutch, a member of rival gang the Hutch Gang, was charged with Bryne’s murder.

Back in March of 2017, Tyson Fury took a selfie with Daniel Kinahan, who has been accused of running the Kinahan Cartel’s day-to-day operations:
