Posted on 01/29/2024 By: Sean Crose “By the way,” ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez posted Monday in Spanish on X/Twitter, “everything looks like it will be Charlo-Crawford for Canelo in 2024, in that order.” Should Rodriguez be proven correct, Canelo Alvarez, perhaps the biggest star in the sport, will have two major events lined up for this

By Elliot Worsell AMONG the many problems with social media, one of the big ones is the ease with which people – anyone – can tap something out on their phone, hit the send button, and then watch as this nonsense not only appears online but is somehow considered gospel; newsworthy. In boxing, this is
Shakur Stevenson has announced his retirement from boxing at age 26, posting to social media this evening. Stevenson, who currently holds the WBC lightweight title and has also won belts at featherweight and super featherweight, last fought in November, beating Edwin De Los Santos in one of the most unwatchable fights of 2023. “I’m officially
Terence Crawford has pretty much done it all. From winning world titles in three separate divisions to becoming an undisputed champion at both 140 and 147 pounds, there isn’t much that the 36-year-old needs or wants to do. Retirement is right around the corner, Crawford admitted it. But just before he rips off his gloves
Mike Coppinger, ESPNJan 29, 2024, 10:22 AM ET Open Extended Reactions Tim Tszyu is a rising star, and he’ll look to continue that climb with a fight against his most high-profile opponent yet. The son of Hall of Fame boxer Kostya Tszyu will meet former welterweight champion Keith Thurman in a 155-pound fight on March
As Tim Tsyzu prepares for his next upcoming fight against Keith Thurman, he talks to media members a little about the fight, his career aspirations, and why he’s finally reached the conclusion that he’ll never get the Jermell Charlo fight he’s wanted. No longer focused on Charlo, Tsyzu looks for the next things to come.
Oscar De La Hoya isn’t nearly as interested in an all-Golden Boy versus Matchroom card as Eddie Hearn. The Golden Boy Promotions founder questioned Saturday night whether his rival’s company has enough depth on its roster to put together that type of show, even if DAZN executives were willing to provide the funding to stream

Ryan Garcia has vacillated a bit too much. Once the 25-year-old was stopped at the hands of Gervonta Davis last year, he knew he needed a makeover. So, to build a bit of confidence, he took a step back and took on Oscar Duarte. It wasn’t a walk in the park but he eventually got
By Elliot Worsell WHEN Julio Gonzalez was presented with the unenviable task of trying to dethrone Roy Jones Jnr in 2001, one of the fight’s selling points – perhaps its only one – centred on the idea of Gonzalez becoming the first Mexican in history to win a world light-heavyweight title. For Mexico, a nation
By Miles Templeton THERE is a whole raft of world-rated boxers who died young. Harry Greb, Pancho Villa and Tiger Flowers are three that spring readily to mind, and that is just during the 1920s. There are others who died in suspicious circumstances; Randolph Turpin, Oscar Bonavena and Arturo Gatti being notable examples. Sometimes these
By Anthony Jones “FEAR is like fire,” the great boxing guru Cus D’Amato used to say, “It can cook for you. It can heat your house. Or it can burn you down.” The dictionary puts it this way, “Fear – an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm,” – coincidentally listing
Oscar De La Hoya hopes Jaime Munguia can challenge Canelo Alvarez as soon as possible. Munguia’s co-promoter and Alvarez’s former promoter predicted late Saturday night, though, that he expects Alvarez to fight Jermall Charlo on May 4. If Alvarez indeed faces another Charlo twin in his next pay-per-view main event, “The Golden Boy” believes the
Jaime Munguia returns to action tonight to face John Ryder in a 12-round super middleweight main event from Phoenix, live on DAZN. The unbeaten Munguia is coming off of a 2023 Fight of the Year-level clash with Sergiy Derevyanchenko, while Ryder was last seen in a losing effort against 168 lb top dog Canelo Alvarez.
Callum Smith is a well-known boxer but he also moonlights as a prophet. The 33-year-old told all who would listen that he would take home a world title at 168 pounds, even if it meant he had to go through George Groves and John Ryder. Fast forward a few years after checking off his first
Highlights! The biggest fight of the weekend comes from England, where Joshua Buatsi will face Dan Azeez in a matchup of legit 175 lb contenders for the British and Commonwealth belts. That airs on Peacock in the US and Sky in the UK. Conor Benn is taking his road show to Las Vegas to face
Belfast – In a welterweight clash, Lewis Crocker (19-0, 11 KOs) was too big and too strong, crushing Jose Felix (40-7-1, 31 KOs) in the fifth round. (photos by Mark Robinson) Crocker was three pounds over the limit at Friday’s official weigh-in. Crocker, the much bigger man, came out pressing forward against Felix. Felix was
Jeff Wagenheim Jan 28, 2024, 01:15 AM ET Open Extended Reactions The biggest fights in boxing typically have championship belts at stake, but some major bouts have a less tangible prize up for grabs. That was the case for Jaime Munguia’s super middleweight main event against John Ryder on Saturday in Phoenix. Munguia was looking
