It looks like the stage is set for the biggest Heavyweight championship fight since Ali-Frazier in 1971, when @Tyson_Fury meets @anthonyfjoshua for the undisputed crown.
We at Top Rank will start on Monday working to put that fight together.

I promoted my first fight in 1966 for Muhammad Ali, CEO & Founder of Las Vegas-based Top Rank, Inc., the premier promotions company in the sport of boxing.
- I am so proud of The Gypsy King. What a warrior. And how blessed I am to have promoted him, as well as Muhammad Ali.
- Naoya Inoue is a once in a multi-generational talent. The best pound for pound fighter in the world.
- Dillian Whyte was so busy fighting for his WBC mandatory position that he didn’t see Povetkin’s uppercut, which knocked him cold on his ass.
- Dillian Whyte got what he wished for. I look forward to Tyson Fury defending the heavyweight title in one of the biggest all-British showdowns in boxing history. The Gypsy King is coming home.
- Our champion @Tyson_Fury did just what he told everybody he was going to do in the fight. All props to him, to SugarHill Steward, Andy Lee and the rest of the camp. What a promotion, what a night.
- Salute to @Tyson_Fury, who can carry a press conference, even without his opponent showing up. Shame on Dillian Whyte for disrespecting the sport.
- Naoya Inoue is a special fighter, among the very best I’ve had the privilege of promoting. Congratulations to the new undisputed junior featherweight champion.
- It was great welcoming the pound-for-pound king and undisputed junior featherweight champion, Naoya Inoue, to Las Vegas. I can’t wait for The Monster’s May 4 battle against Ramon Cardenas at T-Mobile Arena.
- Now that @Tyson_Fury has left Las Vegas, it is a much quieter place. He was a big hit in town and everyone wants him back for his next fight.
- A true great has left us. @MuhammadAli transformed this country and impacted the world with his spirit.
- Marvelous Marvin Hagler was among the greatest athletes that Top Rank ever promoted. He was a man of honor and a man of his word, and he performed in the ring with unparalleled determination. He was a true athlete and a true man. I will miss him greatly.
- It’s been an honor for all of us at Top Rank to promote the pro boxing career of Vasiliy Lomachenko. He was a generational champion, and we will all miss his participation in the sport.
