Summer is halfway through and we are back to talk some boxing!
Tyson Fury returned to form in Thailand with a dominant, calculated stoppage over Mariusz Wach, while Anthony Joshua survived a absolute nightmare of a first round in Jeddah to put away Kristian Prenga in brutal fashion. Down in Australia, Tim Tszyu put on a Masterclass performance to hand Errol Spence Jr. a decisive loss—leading to Spence’s emotional post-fight retirement announcement. Plus, William Zepeda’s terrifying volume puncher style earned him the vacant WBC Lightweight strap after putting a clinic on Lamont Roach Jr.
We also discuss Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and the Professional Fighters League (PFL) have official merger under the MVP banner. Is this the actual structural threat to the UFC/Zuffa Boxing's dominance, or just a massive promotional reshuffle? We analyze the roster integration, and what this means for fighter pay going forward.
