George Kambosos Jr. will look to solve the equation that is Vasiliy Lomachenko when they fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title on Sunday. “He has an IQ like the Albert Einstein of boxing,” Kambosos told BoxingScene.  Lomachenko, a three-division champion and future Hall of Famer, has often been difficult to dissect, like advanced algebra.

Savannah Marshall may not have boxed since taking the undisputed super middleweight title from Franchon Crews Dezurn last summer, but she certainly hasn’t been idle.

LAS VEGAS – Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s news-conference claims that his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya “tried to steal” from the fighter have been met by a legal letter asking that he retract the words while warning him to avoid repeat comments. “He said this outrageous lie not once, but several times – both in

With a week’s worth of consideration, Bill Haney – Devin Haney’s father and trainer – says his ultimate regret is “not enforcing the three pounds” that Ryan Garcia came in overweight before dealing Haney his first loss April 20. “That’s calculated.
