Anthony Joshua remains one of the biggest prospects the boxing world has ever seen, but can he become the heavyweight champion of the world in 2015, 2016, or at all? His promoter Eddie Hearn today tweeted that the "plan is underway", and he's never seemed more optimistic that a Matchroom boxer is going to go the distance career-wise.

Tyson Fury, David Price, Dereck Chisora, David Haye and Joshua, are all heavyweight hopefuls that may just get some of boxing's biggest bouts in 2015, and that may include possible fights with Wlad himself.

Carl Froch and James DeGale could of stepped in to the ring with one another, but it seems Froch has little to no interest in the boxing bout. The IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion has ripped in to his domestic rival, insulting him, and ruling out their possible showdown in the process. Froch has revealed he'd retire before bothering to get out of bed to train for a DeGale bout. The champion wasn't coy, either. Read More »
Floyd Mayweather Jr is fast approaching the end of his boxing career, yet he still holds the boxing world in the palm of his hand.

If he avoids Amir (yet again), then the Brit is likely to fight Kell Brook, in yet another stunning clash. Money Mayweather has the potential to make many sizzling showdowns, yet he seems adamant that he wants to 'punish' the Brit boxer. Read More »
Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is insisting that Anthony Joshua will beat Denis Bakhtov, then fight David Haye in the near future, but could he fight his close pal, the world heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko? AJ is regarded as one of the best boxing prospects ever, but strangely he has hit out at himself, saying he's 'not that good', however, Wlad disagrees with that. The champion recently trained with AJ, and was then full of praise, and with him edging closer to retirement, could AJ face him, or replace him as the boxing king? Before long the recently engaged Wlad will want to spend time with Hayden Panettiere and his yet-to-be-born baby, but could he help AJ to take his place? Read More »
