MANCHESTER, ENGLAND -- Joe Joyce reverted to humour when asked about the possibility of retiring minutes after a bruising 10-round decision defeat by Filip Hrgovic, though his promoter Frank Warren found the question anything but funny.

HUGHIE FURY is in talks to face Dillian Whyte in Galway, Ireland this July. The 30-year-old cousin of former world heavyweight champion Tyson had a busy 2024, winning three times following two-and-a-half years out of the ring.

Dillian Whyte is out of his April 5 heavyweight clash against Joe Joyce after suffering an injury in training camp. The pair were due to headline Queesnberry Promotions' first ever show on DAZN at Manchester's Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester in a few weeks' time.

FRANK Warren's new DAZN partnership came with the sort of heavyweight headliners we're used to seeing feature on a Riyadh Season card, like the stacked Last Crescendo bill taking place in the Saudi capital this weekend.

On Monday back in Manchester we served up a treble-helping of big fight news to mark the beginning of our broadcast partnership with DAZN, which officially kicks in on April 1.

Their first fight was fireworks, and their efforts to put together a rematch turned out to be fruitless, but Dillian Whyte still hopes a second professional duel with Anthony Joshua is in the offing for both men.

Frank Warren's new era with DAZN will kick off with a bang. Queensberry Promotions have announced a three-fight schedule for the spring which gets underway with a headliner between Joe Joyce and Dillian Whyte on April 5th.

On April 5th, at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester England, former heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte will attempt to knock off Joe Joyce. The news was first reported by Darshan Desai of Uncrowned.

Anthony Joshua’s career has played out like a rollercoaster. Except, he isn’t experiencing any exhilarating highs at the moment. He also isn’t undergoing any head-scratching lows either.

Dillian Whyte has serious doubts that his heavyweight rival, Anthony Joshua, will be allowed to step in the ring with him in the coming future. Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight champion, is looking to bounce back after suffering a crushing fifth round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September at Wembley Stadium in London.
