Canelo Alvarez didn’t announce his next opponent Tuesday, but he indirectly ruled out one of his much-discussed options.

Find out why professionals are using BoxBandz Given the newly added pressure on Tyson Fury, the promoter of Oleksandr Usyk has a hard time seeing the mercurial heavyweight champion somehow bowing out (for whatever reason) of the upcoming May 18 undisputed championship. Fury, the WBC titlist, is set to take on Usyk, the WBO, WBA, IBF,

Subriel Matias has signed a multi-fight co-promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and Fresh Productions. Matias (20-1 20 KOs) landed the vacant IBF Super-Lightweight title last February, forcing Jeremias Ponce to retire after five rounds of their clash in Minnesota, and successfully defended his title against mandatory challenger Shohjahon Ergashev in November, forcing another retirement,

Teofimo Lopez promised to put on a show. Jamaine Ortiz is a respected fighter with a ton of skills and has earned a shot at Lopez’s WBO and Ring Magazine titles but actually winning? That was practically impossible according to Lopez. This past Thursday, the 26-year-old made an over-the-top and theatrical entrance. Magicians, fire breathers,

Promoter Bob Arum recognizes that promoting a boxing show at the newfangled Sphere will take a lot more effort than required for the typical garden-variety venue. The Sphere in Las Vegas, the latest glitzy project from billionaire Knicks owner James Dolan, is regarded as one of the most groundbreaking entertainment venues in the world, particularly

Emanuel Navarrete and Denys Berinchyk are inching closer to a deal.

On Friday (February 16) Mexico plays host to another must-watch rematch as Adrien Curiel and Sivenathi Nontshinga run it back for the IBF Light-Flyweight World Title following their dramatic first meeting at the Casino de Monte-Carlo last month. (photos by Melinza Pizano) Mexico’s Curiel (24-4-1, 5 KOs) ripped up the script by scoring a shocking

Before Andy Cruz threw his first professional punch, he had a natural rivalry. Keyshawn Davis is known as a hotshot prospect with a ton of talent and even more upside. However, whenever he came across Cruz in the amateurs, which happened on four separate occasions, Davis came out on the losing end. Beating Davis is

Unbeaten heavyweight rivals Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke collide in a ‘Bad Blood’ showdown for the British and Commonwealth Titles on Sunday, March 31st at The O2 in London, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.

Conor Benn defeated Peter Dobson in a workmanlike unanimous decision victory on Saturday at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.  Many expected Benn to score a stoppage win against the little-known underdog, but the 246 punches the Brit landed over 12 rounds didn’t do much damage to Dobson during their 150-pound catchweight clash.  Soon after the

Over-marination has been an issue in the sport of boxing. On far too many occasions, fighters who are dominating a certain division have danced around one another, despite fans and media members demanding that they get it on. We all know how things have played out in the past. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather waited

There’s pretty much no one left at the top of the light heavyweight division. Well, just Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. The rest of the top contenders have fallen by the wayside. Either Beterbiev crushed them or Bivol danced circles around them. Either way, there’s no one remaining to give them a real fight. Well,

Eddie Hearn doesn’t understand why Chris Eubank Jr. continues to turn down a much bigger payday for rescheduling his domestic showdown with Conor Benn than Eubank can make for fighting anyone else. Benn bluntly dismissed his rival as “a p-ssy” following his 12-round, unanimous-decision victory over Peter Dobson on Saturday at The Cosmopolitan of Las

Austin Williams considered Connor Coyle and the opponent that replaced him on less than one week’s notice, Armel Mbumba-Yassa, steps down in opposition from Steve Rolls, the Canadian contender he soundly defeated on points in the bout before he dropped Mbumba-Yassa twice and beat him by seventh-round technical knockout Saturday in Las Vegas. Now that

Welterweight Conor Benn out-landed Peter Dobson 87-35 over the first four rounds giving many the impression that he might overwhelm Dobson. Dobson seemed to be waiting for Benn to tire, and in the fifth round, Dobson landed 19 punches- his fight high. Benn was never in danger of losing the fight, but Dobson was willing

Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) will defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Jamaine Ortiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs) on Thursday, Feb. 8, at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
