Anthony Joshua in discussions over two-fight deal as surprising name emerges
The British star has not fought since losing to Daniel Dubois last September, but is hoping to return to action this year following successful elbow surgery Anthony Joshua is in talks with Riyadh Season for a potentially lucrative two-fight deal, according to Eddie Hearn, with Jared Anderson possibly being the Brit's future opponent. Joshua, the former two-time heavyweight world champion, hasn't stepped into the ring since his defeat to Daniel Dubois last summer. It seemed as though an immediate rematch was on the cards, but 'AJ' sustained minor injuries from their initial bout. As for Joshua's future, the 35-year-old is aiming to return to competitive boxing before the end of the year, following elbow surgery. As for Dubois, 'Triple D' is set to face Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium on 19 July, with all four world titles on the line in London. Earlier this week, NoSmoke Sport reported that Joshua was negotiating a three-fight deal with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh. However, in an interview with BoxingScene, Hearn denied those claims, stating: "Yeah, that's not true, we are actually discussing a two-fight deal with Riyadh Season. "We've been doing that, [Turki Alalshikh] said that on the night of Canelo [vs. William Scull, May 3], when we had our meeting, and that's the plan really. We want to box sometime this year, October, November, December." As for potential opponents, the boxing promoter added: "We'll see what happens with Dubois-Usyk, we'll see what happens with Fury. "And if we don't fight those guys, we'll fight, and then maybe we'll follow one of those guys next year." Hearn then sensationally revealed that Dillian Whyte and Jared Anderson are also in contention. "Two guys that have been discussed, but nothing concrete," Hearn said of Whyte and Anderson. While Whyte's name comes as no surprise, many have been left shock with Anderson's name being in the running. The American was once dubbed the future of the heavyweight division before suffering a shock knockout defeat to Martin Bakole last August. Joshua has not given up hope of finally realising a bout with Fury. The Brit is not convinced that his rival's retirement is final and appears confident that a fight could still materialise. The British pair agreed a two-bout deal in 2020 but saw plans scuppered when it was ruled Fury had to permit Deontay Wilder a trilogy fight. In a recent post uploaded to Snapchat, Joshua shared an image of himself watching Fury fight, saying: "One of these days I'll be standing in the opposite corner. Ready and fully charged spiritually." Fury himself has declared that he has nothing left to prove in the sport. The 'Gypsy King', has dismissed rumours of a return to boxing, questioning the point of a comeback. "I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what? What would I return for? More belts? I've won 22 of them," he said. "I've been rumped, that's it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me. But I'm happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished. "I've been around the world and back again. And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby." He further added, "I'm in no rush at all, to come back to boxing and get my face punched in. For what? What would I return for? I ask that question. I am retired and I am staying retired. I have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to return for."

BigTime Creative Shop claims milestone Sports Emmy® win
BigTime Creative Shop has received a Sports Emmy® Award for Outstanding Promotional Announcement at the 45th Annual Sports Emmy® Awards presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) – a win BigTime says marks the first time a Middle East and Africa-based creative shop has taken home the honour. The award was for Obsession – Usyk 2 Fury Reignited, a stylised promotional film created for Riyadh Season's highly anticipated boxing rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. The film was conceptualised by BigTime, directed by French collective Megaforce, and produced by Riff Raff Films. Set to Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head, the film offers a surreal and comedic depiction of mutual obsession between the two boxers. From Fury imagining Usyk replacing his entire family to Usyk spotting Fury's face on a sausage – a nod to the fighter's infamous taunts – the film built global buzz around one of the sport's most talked-about rivalries. The campaign was part of Riyadh Season's broader strategy to cement Saudi Arabia as a global hub for major sports and entertainment events. BigTime Creative Shop has worked across sport, culture and entertainment and was recognised as the most awarded independent agency in MENA at Dubai Lynx and The One Club, and named Middle East Agency of the Year at Adfest.

Netflix CONFIRM At Home with the Furys series two and reveal behind-the-scenes picture of Gypsy King and Paris on set
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NETFLIX have CONFIRMED that series two of At Home with the Furys is in production. The father-of-seven and childhood sweetheart wife Paris starred in a nine-part fly-on-the-wall show which aired in 2023. 4 Tyson Fury and Paris filming with Netflix Credit: Netflix Its first episode was seen by 2.6million viewers and earned hugely positive reviews and feedback from fans and critics. And Netflix posted a picture of Fury and Paris while filming with the caption: "We're heading back to Morecambe (and Monaco!). "AT HOME WITH THE FURYS Season 2 is now in production." Series one culminated in Fury's December 2022 victory over Derek Chisora - but much has happened since then. Fury faced ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in October 2023 - surviving a knockdown to win a controversial split-decision. He then twice lost to Oleksandr Usyk on points before announcing his retirement in January, a month after defeat in the rematch. Fury was spotted filming with Netflix in March, meaning the next series could document his two losses to Usyk and subsequent retirement. The Gypsy King also looks set to walk away from a huge Battle of Britain bout against Anthony Joshua. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Fury recently filmed himself on holiday in Italy - and later Monaco where he filmed with Netflix - and reiterated that he was staying retired. He said: 'I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what? 'What would I return for? More belts? I've won 22 of them. I've been rumped, that's it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me. 'But I'm happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished.
