Jon Jones, regarded as the greatest mixed martial arts champion of all time, has retired, UFC CEO Dana White has announced. It saw him come face-to-face with one of boxing’s greatest ever fighters – not that he realised it. Promoter Frank Warren was irate and said the shot landed clean on the belt and wasn’t low before requesting it to be replayed on the big screen. Oleksandr Usyk has proven he’s the king of the heavyweight division after taking down Daniel Dubois in front of a vocal crowd in Wroclaw, Poland. Dubois’ next appearance in the ring is set to be a title defence against Joseph Parker, scheduled to take place on February 22.
INOUE VS KIM
Under the watchful eye of new trainer Ben Davidson, Anthony Joshua is looking to push closer to another title fight. The former unified world heavyweight champion is a considerable $1.25 favourite to beat Otto Wallin in this one. He’s still on the comeback following his two losses to Oleksandr Usyk and needs a big victory to reclaim his place as one of the best in boxing. Undefeated four division world champion Naoya Inoue will attempt to unify the super bantamweight titles when he faces current WBA and IBF champion Marlon Tapales.

Wilder may struggle towards the end given his lack of activity and Parker has been known to start slow before clicking into gear and chasing the fight late. In a fight where both can cause damage and neither are regarded as defensive maestros, we might see the referee count out a few times throughout the fight. He will have a few tricks up his sleeve and a decent idea of how he can trouble Wilder and put himself in a position to cause an upset. If Wilder is forced to use it defensively, he’s less likely to lower it to a level where he can throw one of his lethal right hooks.
Why did Joshua lose to Dubois?
When Dubois dropped him the first time, Joshua moved back while lowering his left hand, and as a result, got dropped. Right before Joshua got knocked out, he caught Dubois with a right hand and tried desperately to finish him off. Dubois, who shook off his blow quickly enough, knocked him out instead.
