Anthony Joshua is undergoing rigorous anti-doping testing to prove as baseless “king of steroids” slur, according to the Sun. IBF and WBA heavyweight world champion spends around £30,000 per fight proving he is top of the world without doping. He was accused by his challenger, New Zealand’s Joseph Parker.

Conor McGregor's head coach John Kavanagh believes the Irishman will return to fight in the UFC later in 2018 and stated that he's "back in the gym every day". McGregor, who last fought in the boxing ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr., currently holds the UFC lightweight belt but his inactivity has sparked controversy over whether he should be stripped or not.

Undefeated American heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will defend his World Boxing Council crown in March against unbeaten Cuban contender Luis Ortiz in New York, according to Wilder promoters. The move comes amid reports that rival unbeaten champions Anthony Joshua of Britain and Joseph Parker of New Zealand are in final talks to fight in March and that could set the stage for the winners to meet for the undisputed crown later this year.

Deontay Wilder says he will get in the ring and go face to face with Anthony Joshua if he beats Joseph Parker in Cardiff, sky sports reports. According to the report, the WBC heavyweight world champion will be ringside as part of the Sky Sports Box Office team for the huge unification fight between the WBA 'super' and IBF holder, Joshua, and WBO champion Parker at the Principality Stadium, on March 31.

Joseph Parker says he will respond with a defiant smile if Anthony Joshua's punches cannot put a dent in his renowned chin during their world title unification clash set to take place on March 31, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. According to Sky Sports, the New Zealander holds a proud reputation of never being floored in his unbeaten career ahead of his heavyweight fight with Joshua. He vowed to crush Joshua by putting up his best display when they both meet.
