It’s Tuesday and time to podcast! THIS WEEK Naoya Inoue gets dropped but then Inoues all over Luis Nery! Canelo dominates Jaime Munguia! What’s next for Canelo, and why Edgar Berlanga, while not a good fight, is just not worth getting up in arms over. Why won’t Canelo fight David Benavidez at 175? Hey, what’s
“THE sport is dying, man. There are no good fighters left, and the best never fight the best, like in the old days.” Give yourself a pound coin for every time you hear those lines. Apparently, boxing doesn’t make great fights anymore. Everyone is busy marinating in jars in the kitchen (avoids mentioning pots and

The 130-pound title fight will serve as chief support to the Shakur Stevenson-Artem Harutyunyan lightweight title bout
The term “peer pressure” comes loaded with negative connotations. People cave in or submit to peer pressure. They are very rarely described as thriving or improving because of it. Royston Barney-Smith puts his progress solely down to the habits he observes every day at the busy Ben Davison Performance Centre. The 20-year-old super featherweight speaks

Alright, bear with me here. Earlier this year, the WBA officially installed Jono Carroll as super featherweight champ Lamont Roach Jr’s mandatory challenger. They also named Otar Eranosyan, who won a later eliminator, as next in line. This being the WBA, of course, neither of those fights are on the docket. ProBox TV announced today
Mike Coppinger, ESPNMay 6, 2024, 11:26 AM ET Open Extended Reactions For a brief moment — if only a sliver of time — Naoya Inoue appeared human. As the Japanese star fired a left hook in the opening round of Monday’s undisputed junior featherweight championship fight at the Tokyo Dome, Inoue dropped his right hand.
Savannah Marshall may not have boxed since taking the undisputed super middleweight title from Franchon Crews Dezurn last summer, but she certainly hasn’t been idle. Marshall (13-1, 10 KOs) is currently knee- (and elbow-)deep in preparations for her MMA debut. The cage door will close behind the two-weight boxing world champion for the first time
Mike Coppinger, ESPNMay 6, 2024, 11:03 AM ET Open Extended Reactions NEW YORK — His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, controls the biggest purse strings in boxing and says he plans to use that power to fix a sport he told ESPN is “broken.” The exclusive interview took place
It was as if Luis Nery’s first-round knockdown of Naoya Inoue poked the Monster. Inoue touched the canvas for the first time as a professional on Monday evening in Tokyo, but if anything, that set-back allowed the four-weight world champion to springboard into another career-defining performance — and possibly, his scariest yet. There was to
Unbeaten middleweight prospect Niall Brown has signed a promotional deal with Wasserman. Brown, 11-0 (4 KOs), has certainly had a solid grounding. The Stockport born 26-year-old was a decorated Thai boxer who reached the top of the British rankings under the guidance of the revered Grand Master Sken before deciding to concentrate on his hands
Posted on 05/06/2024 By: Sean Crose He ended up victorious, but Naoya Inoue found himself in a place few expected him to be Monday in Tokyo, Japan – on the mat. A picture perfect left hook by challenger Luis Nery put undisputed super bantamweight champion Inoue down in the first round. Suffice to say, it
SAUL ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is at the peak of his powers and has the pick of his opponents. Jaime Munguia (box ticked on Saturday night), Edgar Berlanga, Jermall Charlo and more. Yet one man’s name is inextricably linked to Canelo. David Benavidez remains the fight fans’ opponent of choice. The one they all want to see
WHEN a humbled Luis Nery attempted to approach Naoya Inoue after their super-bantamweight title fight tonight (May 6) in Tokyo, he did so either to congratulate him or apologise, yet was greeted as though his face, this face Inoue had gleefully punished for five and a half rounds, was one Inoue had never before seen.
THE RESULT: Naoya Inoue recovers after suffering the first knockdown of his career to deliver a stunning sixth round knockout win over Luis Nery to retain his undisputed super-bantamweight title. KEY MOMENTS: Nery dropping Inoue in the opening session with a left hook was a seismic shock inside the Tokyo Dome. It forced the champion to adjust
Dmitry Bivol will still fight on June 1, he just won’t be facing Artur Beterbiev, who withdrew from the date this past week. Instead of an undisputed championship fight — which is still going to happen, just at a later date — Bivol will defend his WBA light heavyweight title against Malik Zinad. Bivol vs
TOKYO – Australia-based Irish southpaw TJ Doheny, 26-4 (20 KOs), kept alive hopes of facing Naoya Inoue by dismantling Bryl Bayogos, 7-0-1 (2 KOs), before overwhelming him in round four. The talk was beforehand that a win over Filipino Bayogos would earn Doheny a fight with top of the bill star Inoue and the Irishman is
