Kosei Tanaka has been presented with a new path in a bid to become a four-division titlist. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the IBF aims to order a title eliminator between Japan’s Tanaka and Mexico’s Willibaldo Garcia Perez.

Sep 27, 2023, 07:42 AM ET Jermell Charlo will not be the first, nor the last boxer in modern boxing history to move up two divisions to confront an established champion. Most recently, there were two stars who did the same: Manny Pacquiao and Guillermo Rigondeaux. The two fought against great opponents with different outcomes.
UNLIKE a holiday, which most of us never want to end, some boxers think about leaving the country in which they are scheduled to fight no sooner than their plane has touched down and the seatbelt sign is off. To leave, after all, signifies more than just a return to home comforts and their family
Canelo Alvarez will face Jermell Charlo this Saturday night in a Showtime PPV main event, with Canelo defending his undisputed super middleweight crown against the (for now, until Saturday) undisputed junior middleweight champion.

Icelandic heavyweight Gunnar Kolbeinn Kristinsson (13-0) is back in action on Saturday in Vienna (Austria). Who he will fight isn’t clear yet.

Gervonta Davis doesn’t sound like he’ll fight again in 2023, but also suggests it won’t be too far into 2024 that he’ll be back in the ring. “I’m getting my personal life together,” he posted on social media. “I’ll see y’all top of the year.” Davis, 28, had two fights in 2023, first beating Hector
Boxing is set to lose one of its few watchdogs. After 33 years, Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission executive director Greg Sirb is retiring. His final day is on Friday, Sept. 29. “It’s time,” Sirb told BoxingScene.com, with a laugh. Sirb has the distinction of being the longest-tenured overseer of a state athletic commission, having served
Posted on 09/26/2023 By: Sean Crose After much speculation within the boxing world, it’s now official: Devin Haney is going to battle Regis Prograis for Prograis’ WBC junior welterweight crown. It’s a terrific matchup in a division that has hosted such great fights as Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello I and II. Not everyone is happy with
THE final month of the year is shaping up to be a strong one with another fascinating battle announced by Matchroom.

PROMOTER Eddie Hearn described it as the “rematch of the year” before Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor spoke at today’s press conference in Dublin. On November 25, Cameron, 18-0 (8), must once again travel back to the Irish capital to defend her quartet of super-lightweight titles against Taylor at the 3Arena, the same venue where
Former British heavyweight Tony Bellew joined talkSPORT boxing to discuss the latest stoppage loss of Joy Joyce, who was once again knocked out by Zhilei Zhang over the weekend. As Bellew sees it, Joyce isn’t the same immovable object he was before, and that’s only going to spell trouble for him from here on out.
Sometimes, the other guy is just better. Joe Joyce had several months to plan, adjust, scheme, to focus on one task: reverse the outcome of his first unsuccessful contest with Zhilei Zhang. Joyce came in significantly heavier and with a different approach, circling away from the southpaw left that did so much damage the first
WHEN she makes her ringwalk at Wembley Arena on Saturday night, Ellie Scotney will pause for a second longer than she’s used to and glance skywards for a moment.

Posted on 09/25/2023 By: Sean Crose The past decade has arguably belonged to Canelo Alvarez. After losing to Floyd Mayweather in a 2013 superfight, the young red head simply buckled down, and – slowly and steadily – developed both as a fighter and as an attraction until he finally found himself recognized as the top
Featherweight contender Michael Conlan has decided to train under veteran Cuban coach Pedro Diaz, who works out of Florida. Diaz is known for his work with Guillermo Rigondeaux, Filip Hrgovic, Miguel Cotto, Alexis Angulo and others. Conlan recently parted way with trainer Adam Booth.
