I told y’all this matchup was cursed. Multiple sources report that WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring’s ever-shifting title defense against Carl Frampton, currently scheduled for February 27th in London, will be pushed back to March after Frampton suffered a hand injury.

Oscar Valdez believes he’ll challenge the best and most dangerous of boxing’s 130-pound champions Saturday night. Valdez thinks Miguel Berchelt’s size and power separate his Mexican rival from Gervonta Davis, Jamel Herring and Joseph Diaz Jr., who lost his IBF junior lightweight title at the scale Friday. The undefeated former WBO featherweight champion considers Davis,

Josh Warrington suffered a shock loss to Mauricio Lara on Saturday in London, an early (and strong) leader for 2021 Upset of the Year, but the 30-year-old Warrington has received a lot of supports from fans in his home city and across the United Kingdom, and gave his thanks for that. “The support from the
(June 3, 2016) Undefeated 160-pound prospect Caleb Plant gained a fourth-round KO of Carlos Galvan on PBC on Spike at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Fl.

Joyce is likely moving on to a big
Posted on 02/15/2021 By: Hans Themistode Oscar Valdez almost couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Following a tenth-round stoppage win over fringe contender Jayson Velez in July of 2020, WBC super featherweight titlist Miguel Berchelt (37-1, 33 KOs) entered the ring, placed his arm around Valdez and posed for pictures. The win for Valdez was
With less than two weeks to go until his scheduled clash with WBC mandatory super middleweight challenger Avni Yildirim, Canelo Alvarez sat down with TUDN to discuss his current and future plans.

Following his WBO junior middleweight title win over Patrick Teixeira over the weekend, newly-crowned world champion Brian Castano talks about his big win and where he wants to go from here. Check out some excerpts what he had to tell our friends from Fight Hub TV below… Castano on how he feels after winning the
The odds on the Josh Warrington-Mauricio Lara and Anthony Joshua-Andy Ruiz fights were comparable. Warrington and Joshua were more than 20-1 favorites entering those supposedly easy encounters, according to most Internet sports books.

Manny Pacquiao was recently named “champion in recess” by the WBA, which is basically that tip-toeing halfassed boxing speak for stripping him of the belt, but also recently said he’s training and gearing up to return to the ring, saying he’d have news “soon.” Pacquiao, who turned 42 in December, hasn’t fought since July 2019
Sitting in his hotel room at the Fantasy Springs Casino without a bead of sweat on him, JoJo Diaz realized it wasn’t going to happen. Try as he might, the final four pounds to get him down to his contracted limit of 130 just weren’t going to come off. He’d spent the bulk of Thursday
