Andy Ruiz Jr. is ready to show off his resurrected body on May 1 against Chris Arreola. Ruiz recently admitted he ballooned to a rotund 310 pounds following his rematch loss to Anthony Joshua in December of 2019. In the sequel, the former heavyweight champion weighed 283 pounds. In the original shocker of the century,
It’s not always easy to identify the beginning of something in boxing. As pieces come together in a weight class, or the span of a couple of classes, what appears tantalizing can evaporate rapidly. This Saturday on DAZN (10 AM EST), two of the best Jr. featherweights in the world will lock horns for two
Promoter Lou DiBella has sued junior lightweight contender O’Shaquie Foster for breach of contract. In an 11-page lawsuit filed by attorney John Wirt with United States federal court for the Southern District of New York—a copy of which has been obtained by BoxingScene.com—DiBella is asking a court to uphold the validity of his promotional contract
Demetrius Andrade still would love to fight Gennadiy Golovkin. Andrade doesn’t sense that the feeling is mutual, not unless promoter Eddie Hearn and DAZN offer the Kazakh knockout artist more money. The unbeaten WBO middleweight champion believes Golovkin would like to continue facing less imposing opposition while waiting to land an elusive, lucrative third fight
Top Rank’s CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is expecting a decision on the Deontay Wilder legal rift to get issued in the month of May.

As Dillian Whyte watched a replay of him knocking out Alexander Povetkin, he couldn’t help but admire his work. The redeemed interim champion is confident that if he hits any heavyweight with the type of left hook that knocked Povetkin to the canvas, that opponent will go down as well. Whyte first hurt Povetkin with
As expected, UFC President Dana White is not in favor of Oscar De La Hoya’s planned comeback. De La Hoya, 48-years-old, has been out of the ring since 2008 – when he was battered and stopped by Manny Pacquiao. Last week, during a press conference for the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren pay-per-view, the six division

MIAMI GARDENS, Florida – After completing a predictable pummeling of Avni Yildirim, Canelo Alvarez and his trainer, Eddy Reynoso, took little time off before they went right back to work to prepare for what figures to be a much more difficult fight. Alvarez stated last month he’d take only one week off before returning to
Jake Paul is promising that he’s taking the new pugilistic path of his career seriously. The content creator turned KO artist has carved quite the lane for himself in the sweet science of late after starting his career off 2-0 with two knockouts. On April 17, Paul will headline a Triller pay-per-view card in a
Fabio Wardley was honest. The British heavyweight prospect admitted Eric Molina buzzed him with a right hand barely 10 seconds before Wardley emphatically ended their scheduled 10-round fight Saturday night in Gibraltar. Molina drilled Wardley with a right hand to his jaw that wobbled Wardley and made him move toward the ropes. The 26-year-old Wardley
Gibraltar – Heavyweight prospect Fabio Wardley (11-0, 10 KOs) got a serious test, but knocked out world title challenger Eric Molina (27-7, 19 KOs) in the fifth round.

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman believes the 41-year-old was not physically ready for the rematch with Dillian Whyte. On Saturday night in Gibraltar, Whyte stopped Povetkin in four rounds. Back in August of 2020, Povetkin was dropped twice in the fourth round – but then came out in the fifth and knocked Whyte out
Nick Webb breathed life back into his career as he battered two-time world amateur bronze medallist Erik Pfeifer to defeat inside two rounds on the Povetkin-Whyte bill in Gibraltar in something of an upset. Webb was once viewed as something of a prospect, but two stoppage defeats inside six months three years ago revied those
When Alexander Povetkin rocked Dillian Whyte’s world in Eddie Hearn’s back garden last August, he put a lot of the heavyweight division on hold. Well, it wasn’t Povetkin’s punch so much as Whyte’s rematch clause. The Londoner was eager to prove it was a blip, a fluke, and immediately wanted to rectify what had happened.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte would suffer some serious damage to his standing in the weight class – if he loses his rematch with Alexander Povetkin on Saturday night in Gibraltor. Back in August of 2020, Whyte was knocked out in five rounds by Povetkin at Matchroom’s Fight Camp in Brentwood. Whyte would quickly exercise an
