Anthony Joshua will earn fresh recognition and respect as an elite world heavyweight champion if he pulls off a sensational revenge win over Oleksandr Usyk, says Sky Sports expert Johnny Nelson.

Respected and veteran British broadcaster Johnny Nelson knows his boxing. Not only is he a notable presence in the sport, he was a longtime holder of the WBO world cruiserweight title. When Nelson speaks, people listen. That’s why his words about former heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder, uttered during an iFLTV interview this week, were of note. “Deontay Wilder said he’s coming back to boxing,” Nelson said. “I still doubt it, and the reason why I still doubt it is because Deontay still fights with a lot of pride involved, so I think the Tyson Fury fight really hurt his pride.” Sure enough, Fury soundly defeated Wilder in their third fight last autumn, leaving no real doubt as to who the better fighter was.

Anthony Joshua has shown "serious intentions" by arriving early in Saudi Arabia as he prepares to test Oleksandr Usyk with a destructive early onslaught, says Johnny Nelson.

No fighter in the cruiserweight division wants to come up against Richard Riakporhe's deadly one-punch power, believes BOXXER CEO Ben Shalom. The Londoner continued his world-title assault on Saturday with a devastating second-round stoppage of Italy's Fabio Turchi, ending their IBF eliminator with a left hook to the body of his opponent.

Ahead of Richard Riakporhe's IBF cruiserweight title eliminator against Fabio Turchi, Johnny Nelson looks at comparisons between the Brit and Deontay Wilder and discusses what he wants to see from Riakporhe at the weekend. Timing is everything for Richard and the challenges are getting that little bit higher, the stakes...
