Anthony Joshua capped off 2023 with a third win – this time over former Tyson Fury foe, Otto Wallin. The 34-year-old topped the Day of Reckoning card in Saudi Arabia against the tricky southpaw, who previously had a bloody battle with Fury. Wallin went twelve with ‘The Gypsy King’ back in 2019, causing a cut […]
Terence Crawford put in the performance of 2023 – and perhaps beyond – to defeat Errol Spence Jr and become the undisputed welterweight champion. Now, the contractual rematch looms. It was a long road to get to the fight, and something Crawford’s former promoter, Bob Arum, couldn’t make happen. Speaking to Fight Hub TV, the […]
Tim Bradley doesn’t hold out much hope for Daniel Dubois despite his through-the-fire victory over Jarrell Miller this month. The American promised to bully the Brit during both the build-up and in the ring, but the younger man’s gas tank provided pivotal on the night. Miller’s 333lbs frame gassed heavily towards the end of the […]
Deontay Wilder couldn’t land his statement shot on Joseph Parker in Saudi Arabia, allowing the latter to cruise to a unanimous points win. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ looked a shadow of his former dangerous self, and was even rocked and hurt by Parker in the eighth round.

Deontay Wilder’s confidence and comeback were snatched from him by a resurgent Joseph Parker, who beat the American over twelve rounds in Saudi Arabia.

Anthony Joshua looked back to his best in a five round beating of Otto Wallin this month, and thoughts have quickly turned to who he might face next.

Zhilei Zhang’s two wins over Joe Joyce in 2023 have left him in prime position going into the new year. The 40-year-old from Zhoukou, China snatched the Brit’s WBO mandatory position with a stoppage win in April and did it even more impressively in their September rematch. Unfortunately for fans, Zhang missed out on a […]
Terence Crawford was the first male boxer to become two-weight undisputed champion this year, and feels that such a feat makes him the standout star of 2023. ‘Bud’ beat Errol Spence Jr handily in what was billed a 50/50 fight to add the remaining three welterweight belts to his collection. The stoppage victory saw him […]
