Richardson Hitchins and Jose Zepeda meet tonight in a 12-round junior welterweight main event, live from Orlando, Fla., on DAZN. The main event will see Hitchins look to go from prospect to contender, while the veteran Zepeda — still dangerous — tries to hold the gate and keep himself in contention. Coverage will start from
ORLANDO – The world will get to know Rodolfo Orozco, one way or another, after this weekend. The obscure junior middleweight received an instant profile boost when he was tabbed as the opponent of choice for Conor Benn’s ring return. Most of the attention has been afforded the unbeaten Brit, who has been embroiled in
WHILE it is perhaps not fashionable or considered “the done thing” to praise a heavyweight for their technical ability, particularly a 40-year-old one from China, tonight (September 23) should be the night that Zhilei Zhang is rightly celebrated; celebrated for not only beating Joe Joyce for a second time but this time producing a near
As Regis Prograis looks towards what he expects will be a December 9 date in San Francisco to take on Devin Haney, he speaks to Fight Hype about this chance at a marquee name and his eagerness to seize the opportunity to make himself a bigger star in the sport. Here’s some of what Prograis
The Daily Bread Mailbag returns with Stephen “Breadman” Edwards tackling topics such as Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo, the rematch between Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce, comparing Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez, Andre Ward, and more. Hey Mr Edwards, I don’t know about this but reading one of your recent mailbags, and
SANDY RYAN gets the chance to complete her fairytale rise to the top of the welterweight division in Orlando, Florida but the toughest test of her career lies in wait a few miles down the road from Disneyland. On Saturday, the 30-year-old from Derby takes on Jessica McCaskill to determine the premier 147lb fighter on
AS WAS recently proved by Chris Eubank Jnr versus Liam Smith, picking the outcome of a rematch that follows a surprise result is tricky. Joe Joyce was not supposed to lose to Zhilei Zhang in April this year and, like Eubank against Smith in January, he certainly wasn’t expected to get stopped. Their immediate return
ZHILEI ZHANG vs. Joe Joyce is an interesting fight. I rewatched the highlights of the first fight last week and Joyce got hurt early. I think it was the first round he got clipped with some big shots and he was shaken up. I don’t know if might have had a small concussion or something
Richardson Hitchins says he’s too good to feel pressure in headlining for the first time in his career on Saturday night – and will put on a dazzling performance against Jose Zepeda to prove it, as they clash at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida, live worldwide on DAZN. Hitchins (16-0 7 KOs) is bearing down
Erickson Lubin has been a young fighter in a big step-up fight and lost before. It happened in 2017, getting a shot against Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154 lb title. Charlo stopped Lubin in the first round. On Sept. 30, Lubin (25-2, 18 KO), now 27 as Charlo was then, will face rising contender
Joe Joyce realizes that Daniel Dubois just as easily could’ve been declared a fifth-round knockout winner over Oleksandr Usyk as a ninth-round knockout loser. Joyce saw Dubois’ much-discussed body shot August 26 as a borderline blow that referee Luis Pabon probably could’ve called a legal shot. Pabon, of course, ruled it a low blow and
Posted on 09/22/2023 By: Sean Crose “I’ve had a little bit of bad luck for my challenger fights,” says Jose Zeppeda on the eve of his ten round junior welterweight throwdown with Richardson Hitchins this Saturday in Orlando, “but I believe that I’m in my prime. I know I’m 34 years old, but this is
Joseph “JoJo” Diaz Jr will be back in the ring on Saturday, Oct. 21, facing Richard Medina in a 10-round chief support bout on the Alexis Rocha vs Giovani Santillan card from the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Diaz, 30, lost three straight fights to Devin Haney, William Zepeda, and Mercito Gesta in 2021-22, and
On Saturday night (Sept 23) in Orlando, Richardson Hitchins has an opportunity to prove that in his toughest test to date an experienced campaigner like Jose Zepeda is not on his level. The highly confident and unbeaten super-lightweight, currently 16-0 (7) as a pro, spoke to Boxing News about his next fight, Regis Prograis, becoming
Joe Joyce feels much more confident entering his rematch with Zhilei Zhang than he did when he stepped into the ring for their first fight. Five months after Zhang upset him by sixth-round technical knockout, Joyce is certain that he is better prepared for their rematch Saturday night because the gigantic British heavyweight was more
