Boxer Papin’s manager: “Next year we are aiming for a fight for the world title”
Alexey Papin’s team will make every effort to organize the championship fight in 2026. The manager of the Russian boxer, Vitaly Tarasov, told Match TV.
On Friday in Vologda, in a first heavyweight bout, Papin defeated Rollie Lambert from Cameroon by technical knockout, who refused to continue the fight after the third round due to a shoulder injury. The 38-year-old Russian has 20 victories and one defeat in the professional ring. Papin is ranked ninth in the WBA cruiserweight rankings and holds the WBA Asia belt. Lambert, 36, has 18 wins, four losses and a draw.
— The opponent was quite serious, he fought for the world title. He came here not to serve a number, but to win. As the battle progressed, Alexey only accelerated and took the initiative. The way the fight ended… It’s difficult to say whether his hand actually hurt, or whether he broke down psychologically. Alexei himself felt uneasy afterwards; he was expecting something completely different. But this is sport, this happens. Next year we are targeting a world title fight. We will do everything to make this happen,” Tarasov told Match TV.

Legendary British boxer Lennox Lewis He expressed his opinion that Anthony Joshua is ready for a possible fight with Tyson Fury. The former absolute world champion believes Joshua should have another interim fight before such a mega fight.
“Did Joshua show off enough to beat Fury? With a performance like that, no. It won’t work against Tyson. But at least he got into a rhythm. This was his first fight with a new team, he’s still getting used to Usyk and his team,” Lewis explained.

Eddie Hearnsupporter Anthony JoshuaHe shared the British boxer’s plans for the near future.
“We are acting according to Turki Al El-Sheikh’s strategy. Joshua plans to fight in February or March and then hopefully fight Tyson Fury.”
The next fight was originally scheduled for February 14, but with the date only seven weeks away, it is important to evaluate Anthony’s fitness. Hearn explained that there are actually seven weeks left now: “The fight could be moved to mid or late March if necessary.”
“Rico Verhoeven? This name has been mentioned a few times before. We are considering various options. We need a fight that will prepare us to face Tyson Fury and the way he fights. There are enough offers right now,” Hearn added.
Let us remind you that Joshua previously won by knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round.
Additionally, Verhoeven had previously officially vacated the Glory heavyweight championship belt.
