🥊 Roy Jones Jr. isn't buying the idea that Oleksandr Usyk is slowing down.

The boxing legend believes Usyk's tougher-than-expected outing against Rico Verhoeven had more to do with his opponent's unusual style than any decline in the Ukrainian champion's abilities.

According to Jones, Verhoeven's awkward movement, unpredictability, and willingness to compete made life difficult for Usyk and prevented him from looking as dominant as fans are accustomed to seeing. He praised Verhoeven for delivering a performance that exceeded expectations and helping create a much more competitive fight than many anticipated. 👏

Jones also weighed in on the stoppage controversy, suggesting it may have come a little sooner than necessary. However, he felt the referee was acting in the fighter's best interests and made a judgment call aimed at protecting Verhoeven.

💬 Do you agree with Roy Jones Jr.—was it Verhoeven's style that made the difference, or is Usyk beginning to show signs of decline❓

🔥 CRAWFORD vs McGREGOR? WAR OF WORDS ERUPTS! 👀🥊💥

Terence Crawford and Conor McGregor have reignited the never-ending boxing vs. MMA debate after exchanging heated messages online following UFC Freedom 250.

The drama began when Crawford appeared to mock Ilia Topuria after the former UFC star suffered a stoppage defeat. Topuria had previously expressed interest in a blockbuster boxing match with "Bud," but Crawford had dismissed the idea.

McGregor quickly jumped into the conversation, accusing Crawford of being unwilling to test himself under MMA rules and questioning why so many boxers attended the event while few MMA fighters crossed into boxing.

Crawford fired back, arguing that he has nothing left to prove in a cage and pointing out that MMA fighters are often the ones seeking opportunities in the boxing ring.

🥊 One side says true greatness means competing anywhere.
🥋 The other says champions don't need to leave their sport to prove themselves.

💬 Who do you agree with: Crawford or McGregor❓

🔥 CASIMERO REFUSES TO LET GO OF INOUE SHOWDOWN 👀🥊

The rivalry that never officially happened continues to echo through boxing.

John Riel Casimero has repeatedly and publicly called out Naoya Inoue since their originally scheduled clash collapsed in 2020, keeping the pressure alive across multiple years and platforms.

It began with a cancelled unification bout during the COVID-19 era, a fight Casimero believed he was destined to win. Years later in 2022, he doubled down, insisting he was the only man capable of beating Inoue.

More recently, after his explosive victory over Luis Nery in Japan, Casimero again used the spotlight to demand his long-awaited shot at “The Monster.” Between fights, he has consistently kept the challenge alive through interviews, vlogs, and social media callouts.

Despite the years passing, one thing hasn’t changed—Casimero still wants Inoue. 🥊

💬 Will this fight ever happen, or is it boxing’s greatest unfinished story❓
