Anthony Joshua Eyes Third Heavyweight Title as Usyk Vacates IBF Belt
British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua is poised to become a three-time heavyweight champion after Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk vacated his IBF heavyweight title.
Usyk, who recently defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed champion, confirmed he will not be defending the IBF belt in his rematch with Fury scheduled for December 21.
Usyk took to social media to announce his decision, stating, “Anthony and Daniel, listen, I know the IBF title is important to you. It’s my present to you on September 21.”
This move paves the way for Joshua to fight fellow Brit Daniel Dubois for the vacant title at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
Joshua, who first won a world title in 2016, held the championship for three years before a shocking defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.
He reclaimed his titles six months later but was then bested by Usyk in 2021 and lost the rematch the following year. Now, with the IBF title up for grabs, Joshua has a prime opportunity to add another chapter to his storied career.
Barcelona player Lamine Yamal hits a new milestone as he breaks the world record of goals scored in Europe’s top five leagues.
He earned this title after helping the team to a 3–0 win against Mallorca. Just under the age of 19, he achieved this. He has now passed Kylian Mbappé’s record.
Yamal now has 24 goals, overtaking Mbappé, who had scored 23 for AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain before turning 19 on 23 December 2017.
Super Eagles manager Eric Chelle speaks on player Ademola Lookman’s performance in the AFCON 2025 tournament.
He stated that he truly had an impact on the team and contributed to their wins and defence, but noted that the player later dropped in performance during the quarter-finals.
“He was very good throughout the group phase, so exceptional. However, in the quarter-finals, it is true he started to falter a bit; physically, he is good, but it’s true we felt he was tired.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
