Former two division world champion Ricky Hatton is far more eager to watch Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua than a likely undisputed fight between world champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. At one point, when both were world champions, Wilder vs. Joshua was the biggest fight in the sport. Wilder lost his title to Fury in

Promoter Bob Arum has no doubt that boxing fans will be treated to a significant lightweight title fight early next year. Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney is headed toward a second defense of his belts against three-division Ukrainian titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko. The fight was in the works ever since Haney signed with Arum’s Top Rank

Seemingly since the beginning of time, Demetrius Andrade has begged elite fighters to face him in the ring. Nevertheless, despite calling out the likes of Jermall Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Gennadiy Golovkin (GGG), and a long list of other stars, he’s failed to lure those big names into the squared circle. Recently, however, Andrade (31-0, 19

As most of boxing’s biggest stars are attempting to figure out their 2023 schedule, Gervonta Davis has already lined up the first half of his calendar.

A close yet disputed loss at the hands of Callum Smith in 2019 seemed to seal John Ryder’s fate as a gatekeeper.

Gervonta Davis gave two reasons Wednesday why he thinks Ryan Garcia decided to skip what was supposed to be a tune-up fight against Mercito Gesta on January 28. The unbeaten Baltimore native first suggested to a small group of reporters after an open workout that his rival could be using performance-enhancing drugs. Davis added that

Gervonta Davis recently confirmed he’s no longer contractually tied to Mayweather Promotions.  Over the course of the calendar year, Davis dropped many hints alluding to the notion that he’d no longer be working with his mentor moving forward. Davis cited it was all love and that there was no bad blood with Mayweather Promotions, and

Gervonta Davis was surprised to learn last week that Ryan Garcia decided to skip what was supposed to be a tune-up fight for Davis’ rival January 28. Garcia was tentatively scheduled to fight Filipino lightweight Mercito Gesta that night. The undefeated Davis is immeasurably better than Gesta (33-3-3, 17 KOs), but Gesta at least is

Jose Ramirez and his team have done their best to justify the former unified titlist passing on a guaranteed title shot. Regis Prograis and his team have a briefer and more direct response as to why the WBC junior welterweight title fight is no longer taking place. “Simply, you passed up a title opportunity,” Sam

Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine has expressed his displeasure at the recent agreement between the International Boxing Association (IBA) and the World Boxing Association (WBA).

Ben Shalom, who promotes Liverpool’s WBO, IBF, WBC junior middleweight champion Natasha Jonas, would certainly be interested in matching her against Claressa Shields, who is currently the undisputed middleweight champion.

LAS VEGAS – Michel Rivera has worked tirelessly since he moved from the Dominican Republic to Miami five years ago in pursuit of his dream to become a lightweight world champion.

LAS VEGAS – Errol Spence Jr. is still hopeful that he’ll finally fight Terence Crawford at some point in 2023. Spence’s return to the ring has been delayed by minor injuries sustained during another car accident December 10.
