Gabriela Fundora won’t be diving into an undisputed title fight with Gabriela Alaniz quite yet, as Camilo Zamora of DSPORTS Chile reports that Fundora will defend her IBF flyweight title against Daniela Asenjo.

Devin Haney has expressed frustration over the recent purse bid to stage his junior welterweight defense against mandatory challenger Sandor Martin, which drew only one bidder – Top Rank, Martin’s promoter – for a figure well under Haney’s current earning power.

Hamzah Sheeraz has had September 21 circled on his calendar for months.

The WBC
The World Boxing Organization on Thursday denied former flyweight champion Marlen Esparza’s request for a third fight with Gabriela Alaniz following Alaniz’s split decision title victory April 27 in Fresno, California.

PHOENIX – It’s a battle for turf, both on the pound-for-pound scale and on a map that defines home and heart. Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez has already staked his claim. For the second straight time, he’s back in a city known for its unique appreciation of the smallest weight classes, perhaps because it’s also home to
Teofimo Lopez is one of boxing’s brightest stars. As a character, he divides opinion. As a fighter, he can blow hot and cold. But when he blows hot, he can be sensational. Lopez will box Canada’s Steve Claggett on Saturday in Miami, and while Lopez has pressure on his shoulders, he welcomes it. When he
You wouldn’t know it by looking at him (or hearing the familiar ring of his name), but Shane Mosley Jr. – very nearly the spitting image of his Hall of Fame father – came up the hard way in boxing.
