Who wants to see this happens ? Me personally I think Itauma needs to keep progressing in the right direction for his future.
And all though Wilder has been a great fighter he wouldn’t stand a chance against this lad, Itauma delivers big power and with speed.
👍 if it’s not for you or ❤️if you would love to see this happen

The great Jack Johnson vs the giant Jess Willard

ON THIS DAY :
1915 April 5th, Havana, Cuba.
JESS WILLARD ( 240lb ) vs JACK JOHNSON ( 225lb )
World heavyweight championship
Jack was now 37 years of age, and he was no longer the chiselled athlete he had once been, but he had far greater experience than his 33 year old opponent ; Jess had started boxing over 15 years after the champion's career had begun
This bout was made over a duration of 45 rounds, the intention being that Willard would wear Johnson down, because it was thought at this stage Jack would not have the stamina to get through so many rounds .
Jack should of course never have agreed to such a long fight, but he believed even on his worst day, he could beat Willard in the first half of the fight. Turns out he was wrong.
It was tremendously hot, added to the shape he was in, and Jack also found he couldn't manhandle Willard in the clinches, so for the most part, the fight was kept at long range.
Jack Johnson fought in flurries and as the rounds went on he tried on a good few occasions to stop Willard, but the giant cowboy simply tied him up .
All through the fight Jess stuck to a game plan, he jabbed and threw a long right hand, this one two missed for most of the fight, Johnson for all his infirmity and the incredible heat still managed to block or catch Willard's blows in the palm of his gloves.
As the rounds went into the twenties, Jack knew he had to stop the challenger soon, he tried to stop Jess with sharp bursts and flurries, but Willard was prepared, he had a good chin and was incredibly durable.
Jack was well ahead on points, but going into the 26th round he had slowed and was running out of steam ; in that round Jess fainted to throw the left and landed a powerful straight right, Jack went down and he was counted out.
After the fight Jack claimed he had thrown the bout, and he could easily have gotten back up, it's doubtful he threw the fight, however he may have been able to get up, but choose to stay down because he was exhausted. Truth is we will never know for certain, but there is footage of the Knockout so people can decide for themselves.
One thing is for sure, Jess Willard was the new champion ; white America had the world heavyweight title again, and they intended to keep it, it would be over 22 years before another black fighter got a shot at the championship.

On this day..Muhammad Ali vs Zora Folley.

ON THIS DAY:
1967, March 22nd : Maddison Square Garden, New York, USA.
MUHAMMAD ALI (211lbs ) vs ZORA FOLLEY ( 203lbs )
Undisputed world heavyweight championship
This was Ali's 9th defence of the championship it was also his first of the WBA belt which he now held for a second time.
At 36 Zora Folley was 11 years older than Ali, and he was now past his best but he was still thought of as a dangerous opponent, and he was the Ring Magazine number one contender.
The fact he had to wait so long for a shot at the title was criminal, he was in the top 5 for 9 years of his 14 year career.
Ali wanted to give him a title shot, Floyd Patterson's team had avoided Folley when he was in his prime.
Ali also said it was hard to motivate himself against Zora Folley because he was such a nice guy.
It was in truth to late for the challenger at this stage of his career, he was outclassed by a prime Ali, but he did give the champion something to think about with his methodical stalking early on in the fight, unfortunately Ali was just far to quick for him.
The champion stopped Zora Folley in the 7th round to retain the title, but this would be his last defence because his boxing license was revoked soon after. Ali had refused the draft to join the armed forces during the Vietnam War, he would not enter the prize ring again for three years.
This left his titles vacant.
Zora Folley would not be one of those contesting for those belts, although he continued to fight until 1970 his career after this was patchy, he won just five of ten matches.
After boxing Folley worked as a Counci member in Chandler City.
A good family man he fathered nine children with his wife Joel .
Sadly Zora Folley died from injuries sustained in a motel swimming pool accident in 1972, he was just 41 years old.

🥊 Is Tyson Fury’s comeback actually welcomed?

The Gypsy King is back again… but this time, the reaction isn’t so clear 👀

Some fans are hyped 🔥
They still see Fury as one of the biggest personalities in boxing — and let’s be honest, whenever he fights, people watch.

Others aren’t convinced 🤨
Too many retirements, questions about whether he’s past his best, and doubts after his losses to Oleksandr Usyk.

So what’s the truth?

👉 It’s mixed.
👉 It’s controversial.
👉 But it’s definitely got people talking.

Love him or doubt him… you can’t ignore him.

💬 What do you think — should Fury have stayed retired or is this comeback what boxing needs?
