Asked if he believes he has been overlooked despite his performances, Roach said: “I thought so for sure,” Roach said to Brian Custer when asked if he believes he has not received his due. “Imagine if I would have won on the scorecards against Tank. Life-changing opportunities. That puts me as a champion, two-division world champion, two-time world champion. That gives me the leverage. I just beat the number one fighter at the weight class that I’m in, new weight class at that.” Roach argued that official victories would have opened the door to many of the biggest fights in…

Eddie Hearn suspects Anthony Joshua will target the biggest available challenge if he manages to get past Tyson Fury later this year. The two Brits are set to square off in November, just so long as ‘AJ’ takes care of Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on July 25. Fury, too, is expected to enter a warm-up fight, possibly in August, after ending 16 months of inactivity with a unanimous decision triumph over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April. And so if both heavyweights emerge victorious, and remain largely unscathed, then their long-awaited domestic dustup should finally come to fruition. For Joshua,…

Hearn had explained that Joshua’s contract currently requires the fight to take place in Britain, while acknowledging other locations such as Croke Park and the United States had been discussed. He also described Joshua-Fury as “the biggest fight in the history of our country.” Malignaggi disagreed. “For me, as an American, I think it has to be in the UK. I love the UK atmosphere when there’s huge UK fights. I don’t see how you can make it anywhere else,” said Paulie to talkSPORT Boxing. He then explained why he believes Hearn’s description goes too far. “I do disagree with…
