The lightweight division is amongst the hottest in the sport right now, with the American presence at the weight class particularly strong. Devin Haney still holds all the marbles after his win over Vasiliy Lomachenko last month; Gervonta Davis, fresh off a huge victory over Ryan Garcia, is the money fight at the lower weights […]
Dmitriy Bivol has slammed the WBC’s decision to ban Russian fighters from fighting for their titles, describing it as “unfair.” The WBC have elected not to sanction title fights featuring fighters from both Russia and Belarus or include them in their rankings, due to the involvement of those countries in the conflict in Ukraine. This […]
Despite the lack of big fights currently signed, all eyes in boxing are, as per usual, fixated on the heavyweight division. Talk of a four man heavyweight bonanza in Saudi Arabia featuring Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder has got fans dreaming, and would almost certainly see the ill feeling caused by […]
Speculating on the future of Tyson Fury has been a bit of a senseless exercise over the past 18 months, with ‘The Gyspy King’ himself even seemingly unsure of his next move at times. Fury has been mentioned with just about everyone in the heavyweight division – and beyond – recently, with names from domestic […]
As frustration grows with certain top heavyweights and their continued inability to agree terms to fight one and other, fans could be forgiven for looking ahead and discussing who the future kings of the division may be.

Despite holding all four world titles in the 168lb division and only losing one fight in the last ten years, there is a perception that Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is on the decline and may only have a handful of fights left. Although Alvarez is not particularly old at 32, he has had a remarkable 63 […]
Josh Taylor has provided a conclusive answer as to whether or not he will move up in weight, following his defeat to Teofimo Lopez this past weekend.

It still remains unclear whether or not Tyson Fury will look to have a fight this summer, or jump straight into an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia later in the year.

Boxing fans across the world have been kept on strings regarding the proposed heavyweight bonanza planned for Saudi Arabia this December.

Eddie Hearn has hinted at what could be the only potential stumbling block in the plans for his man Anthony Joshua to take on Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia later this year.

Dmitriy Bivol has seemingly put a pin in the chances of a rematch with Canelo Alvarez taking place later this year, stating negotiations for the fight are “nowhere” currently.
