In recent interview James Ali Bashir commented on Waladimir Klitscko/Anthony Joshua sparring.In beginning of sparring Anthony Joshua didn't want to hit Wladimir,because he is champion.Than Bashir telled him,that if will not hit Wlad,he will get destroyed.From that point on,sparring looked very competetive. On side note,Bashir thinks Joshua can become contender in one year time.

:nono If Chagaev takes this rematch, Im done supporting him as a fighter. He needs to make a statement that he is a serious contender, and beating Oquendo in another snoozefest aint gonna state anything except he's holding a kiddie title hostage. I gave Potvetkin props because he at least took on solid challneges from Boz, Huck, and even Wawrzyk..... Chagaev should be looking for Ortiz or at the very least, offer Bryant Jennings, Czar Glaskov, Scott/Leapei winner, or Adamek the chance to fight for that title. Chagaev is a crafty veteran with a great chin, solid defense, decent power, and great ring smarts. He's got good stamina and fights well over the distance. Any of those fights would be 50/50 and any of them would add to Chagaev's legacy as a HW contender/titlist.
Young Fury received his first loss in his 2nd fight. Wasn't impressed the first time, he looked very raw and wild. Back to the drawing board for him.
