Posted on 01/22/2024 By: Sean Crose “To be honest I believe that is the hardest test,” WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol says of fellow light heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev. “Why?

If momentum truly is a thing, John Ryder had all of it in the world. He hit the cruise control button against Mike Guy, knocked out Jozef Jurko, and scored back-to-back upsets over Daniel Jacobs and Zach Parker. All of those steps led him to the front door of Canelo Alvarez. It was the biggest
The first knockout loss of Callum Smith’s career understandably still stings the former WBA super middleweight champion.

Mikaela Mayer is hoping what she feels was her gracious post-fight conduct will compel Natasha Jonas to give her a rematch.
