Shakur Stevenson won the WBC Lightweight World Title recently against Edwin De Los Santos – his third division doing so – but the performance has been branded as dull and well below-par. Perhaps because it was a world title fight, or maybe because Stevenson is tipped to have an argument as the best in the […]
David Benavidez was christened ‘The Mexican Monster’ by Mike Tyson, and the heavyweight legend is never short of praise for the two-time super-middleweight champion. Benavidez remains undefeated but not currently champion having lost his title twice – first for cocaine use and the second for missing weight. At 27-0 with 23 stoppages, many feel that […]
Katie Taylor’s rematch with Chantelle Cameron will be marked with a temporary statue of ‘the greatest female fighter of all-time.’ The pair battled it out back in May, the size and youth of Cameron earning her a majority decision on away soil. Dublin’s 3Arena plays host again as the Brit puts her four 140lbs belts […]
Deontay Wilder has suggested that Anthony Joshua has ‘lost his identity’, but the Brit refuses to take such a criticism lying down. The two former champions have been on a long and meandering collision course for some time now, but their next fights – Joshua against Otto Wallin and Wilder against Joseph Parker – on […]
Anthony Joshua will face Otto Wallin on December 23 this year – a must-win fight should he want to achieve his goal of becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion. The Swedish southpaw is on a run of six victories since his sole career loss to Tyson Fury back in 2019, a unanimous decision loss that […]
The ring return of Gervonta Davis is highly anticipated following a stoppage win over Ryan Garcia back in April. The incredibly lucrative fight saw ‘Tank’ drop the previously undefeated Garcia in both the second and seventh rounds, the latter being a showstopping body shot marking the winner’s 29th win and 27th by KO. Any momentum […]
Francis Ngannou made headlines by performing better than expected in his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion was given little to no chance against the Brit, but flipped that script by scoring a knockdown in the third round before making it to the final bell and losing on a close […]
Francis Ngannou has tasted power on both sides of combat sports – the four ounce gloves in MMA and ten in boxing. The 37-year-old scored 12 knockout victories in his UFC campaign, winning 17 overall and losing three. He recently made the switch to boxing, entering the ring a massive underdog against undefeated heavyweight world […]
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk made a formal announcement for their undisputed fight this week with a launch press conference in London. The two heavyweight champions will battle it out in Saudi Arabia on February 17 for the WBC – currently held by Fury – WBA, WBO and IBF – all Usyk’s. The Ukrainian was […]
Deontay Wilder will have an eye on Anthony Joshua’s fight with Otto Wallin next month after his own against Joseph Parker. The American returns to the ring following over a year of inactivity against the former WBO World Champion and Tyson Fury training partner, Joseph Parker. Also on the bill is Joshua-Wallin, the Brit’s third […]
Shakur Stevenson won a world title in a third division this month, but somewhat underwhelmed when doing so. The Newark native beat Edwin De Los Santos over the distance to win the vacant WBC lightweight belt. Stevenson – known for his slick skills and impressive defence – opted for movement over engagement, drawing boos from […]
Tyson Fury has opened up on his state of mind following a more bruising than expected encounter with Francis Ngannou. The WBC Heavyweight Champion welcomed MMA star Ngannou to the boxing ring for the first time, and was widely expected to win with ease. A knockdown for Ngannou in the third round changed all of […]
