Photo: Jake Paul, Daniel Dubois / Instagram   Jake Paul has been advised to avoid a fight with heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois after the two exchanged messages.  Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, recently shared a message from Dubois, who challenged him to fight for the IBF heavyweight title that Dubois defended by knocking out Anthony Joshua in September. Since defeating 58-year-old Mike Tyson last Friday, Paul has received several calls from top boxers, but retired WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew warns that fighting Dubois would be a mistake. Bellew, who hasn't fought since 2018, thinks Dubois is on a whole different level compared to Paul. Photo: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson / Instagram   Bellew told talkSPORT, "Dubois would knock Jake Paul out with just a jab. It would be an embarrassment. Jake has a great imagination, but he’s on another planet if he thinks he can handle someone like Dubois. It wouldn’t even be allowed." Bellew, known for his outspoken opinions...

British heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois has called out the YouTuber-turned-boxer, offering him a shot at the IBF world heavyweight title. Paul’s response? He’s interested. Dubois, who won the IBF title two months ago by knocking out Anthony Joshua , challenged Paul on social media. “Hi Jake. Good business on the weekend, but how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world? Let’s get it on,” Dubois wrote. Paul fired back with humor, posting a picture of a tape measure and replying, “Get in line.” He also poked fun at Dubois’s boxing record, saying, “Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro, and fought on my undercard... hahaha.” But Paul hinted he’s ready to accept the challenge, adding, “I’ll have my team talk to Frankie Warren to make it happen.” Photo:...

Photo: Artur Beterbiev (Instagram) Artur Beterbiev has been told he must defend his IBF light-heavyweight title against his mandatory challenger. This announcement comes just one day after Dmitry Bivol asked for an immediate rematch with Beterbiev. Beterbiev, 39, became the first boxer to hold all four major belts in the light-heavyweight division after winning a close fight against Bivol on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The judges scored the match 114-114, 115-113, and 116-112 in favor of Beterbiev, a decision that has faced criticism from Bivol's promoter, Eddie Hearn, and manager, Vadim Kornilov. Bivol, 33, has formally requested the support of the WBO, WBA, IBF, and WBC to help him secure a rematch. However, the IBF has now ordered Beterbiev to start negotiations with German fighter Michael Eifert, who is the mandatory challenger.

The fight took place at Wembley Stadium in front of a record crowd of 96,000. Joshua, who was hoping to win the world title for the third time, started strong.

After reigning as the WBC champion for a remarkable five years, Wilder suffered a defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury . This loss, marking their third encounter after a draw in their initial bout, led many to believe that Wilder might contemplate retirement. However, he ultimately chose to continue his boxing career, and in October, he demonstrated his power by knocking out Robert Helenius with just three punches in the first round. Photo: Instagram/Deontay Wilder, famously known as "The Bronze Bomber," successfully held the prestigious WBC belt for an impressive period of five years until his remarkable journey was abruptly halted by the formidable Tyson Fury.

Fury successfully defended his WBC title in December against Derek Chisora while Usyk has won back-to-back decision victories over Anthony Joshua. Earlier, Usyk had requested a 70-30 split in his favour with the additional condition of a $1 million donation to his home country of Ukraine which is currently in a military conflict with Russia. Fury had responded with a 'take it or leave it' offer, claiming that Usyk and his team were only worth 30%. Fury warned that if Usyk did not accept the offer, his percentage would d...
