8:19 AM ET At long last, four years after their second bout, archrivals Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin met for a third time, but the September trilogy fight fell far short of the first two battles. It’s no surprise, of course, after boxing failed to deliver this matchup when both fighters were at their peak.

Nate Collins (Commonwealth featherweight champion) I would like to see Leigh Wood vs. Mick Conlan II in 2023. Their first fight was one of the best fights I have watched in a long time! I might be biased as a featherweight, but that’s the fight I would like to see again. Gervonta Davis and Shakur
The Man with a Million Mandatories is back on the clock.

Veteran trainer Robert Garcia would strongly advise Anthony Joshua to take at least two to three fights before facing Deontay Wilder.

1 Dmitry Bivol W UD 12 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez Even though we knew Bivol was good going into this fight, and even though there was always the risk of Alvarez one day biting off more than he could chew, that should take nothing away from the way in which Bivol outclassed and played with “Canelo”
1 Jordan Gill W KO 9 Karim Guerfi In a year featuring some of the most dramatic one-punch knockouts we have seen for some time, the number one spot ultimately goes to Jordan Gill and the right hand he pulled from nowhere to extinguish the attack of a buoyant Karim Guerfi in February. This shot,

Last week, the World Boxing Council generated plenty of headlines when the organization’s president, Mauricio Sulaiman, revealed that the WBC was planning to create a new category for transgender boxers.

Posted on 01/02/2023 By: Sean Crose When recently asked by Lance Pugmire for FightHype who was the best welterweight in the world, Errol Spence or Terence Crawford, Jaron “Boots” Ennis was ready with a bold answer: “I’m the best welterweight in the world,” he replied. The man may be right. Boasting a record of twenty-nine

Frank Warren thinks a fighter exodus is happening over at Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom. The Queensberry head has noticed that several of the fighters who were under contract with Hearn have left the promoter for Boxxer, the rival promotional company that has an exclusive output deal with Sky Sports. It is an ironic development, given that

1 Deontay Wilder Twelve months after he was stopped in brutal fashion by Tyson Fury, the heavy-handed Deontay Wilder returned to action in October of 2022 with plenty of questions marks hanging over him. He was, at 37, coming off not one stoppage defeat by Fury but two (the other took place in 2020) and
1 Adam Azim FOR a prospect to separate themselves from the crowd, sometimes it’s about more than simply winning fights. Sometimes it’s as much about the manner in which they win and the style they display in the process. This is never more apparent than in the case of Adam Azim, a super-lightweight who won
Former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson has a lot of respect for Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight titles.

Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring again in 2023, as he announced a one-bout deal with Japanese MMA company RIZIN at their New Year’s Eve event.
