Find out why professionals are using BoxBandz In not-entirely-unexpected news, Salvador Rodriguez and Mike Coppinger each report that Canelo Alvarez has parted ways with Premier Boxing Champions after just one fight of their three-fight deal.

Canelo Alvarez has reportedly made his choice for a next opponent after parting ways with Premier Boxing Champions, and ESPN Knockout report that Canelo will face fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia on Saturday, May 4. The fight would almost surely be a DAZN pay-per-view, with Canelo returning to the platform where he’s had all but two
Not exactly a great day for PBC. Following the recent official news that star Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez has split with outfit, it’s now being reported by ESPN’s Mike Coppinger that Terence Crawford is also out of the fold and a promotional free agent.

The pair of performances left the boxing public clamoring for a fight against undisputed super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez even more. Alvarez, however, has other ideas on who
Naoya Inoue will receive an offer to fight in Australia if he successfully defends his undisputed super bantamweight title against Luis Nery.

In a bold statement, undefeated WBA World Champion David Morrell Jr. (10-0, 9 KOs) has declared that rising star Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs), who is fresh off his sixth-round knockout over Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs), is nowhere near his level and that he would dispatch him in just one round if given the
Former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has said Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will “follow the money” in terms of who he fights, and who he fights for next.

I’m a huge fan of “Prince” Naseem Hamed. We went for our professional licences on the same day, and were on shows together throughout our careers. He’s still a very good friend of mine. Muhammad Ali has played a huge part in my life. I’d been watching him since the Olympics in Rome and was
Heavyweight Matty Harris has been buoyed by a message of support from Anthony Joshua as he sets out on the road to redemption this week. Harris returns to the ring on Friday night, on the Wasserman Boxing show at the Telford International Centre, following a shock first defeat of his career last summer. The 24-year-old, from Leamington
Oscar Valdez exited the ring last August 12 with a loss on his record, a right eye so discolored and swollen it conjured memories of Carmen Basilio after his rematch with Sugar Ray Robinson, and a sense of self-worth every bit as battered as that eye. For the first two weeks after his unanimous decision
Oscar De La Hoya is not optimistic that boxing fans will get to see Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight Jaime Munguia in May. De La Hoya was recently in New York City promoting a bout between WBC junior welterweight champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia, set for April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New
