Several times, Joey Dawejko’s mouthpiece came out in his fight with heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jr. last week. And several times, Dawejko was warned, then docked points, then ultimately disqualified, giving Torrez the fifth-round victory. Dawejko says he wasn’t looking for relief — for extra time to recover while the mouthpiece was cleaned and replaced

It was a right hand thrown from so far out and with such an arced trajectory that Daniel Dubois’ black glove almost scraped the base of the famous Wembley arch. It dropped Anthony Joshua heavily, causing the man with the physique of a Greek statue to crumble onto his haunches and woozily stand, like a

Pick It: Daniel Dubois-Anthony Joshua When to Watch: Saturday, Sept. 21, 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (3:30 p.m. BST).  How to watch: Pay-per-view on DAZN and PPV.com.

As we gear up for Saturday’s clash between IBF heavyweight titleholder Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in London, it feels like the right time to take a trip down memory lane and reflect on the best heavyweights of the past 24 years. The bout, set to air on pay-per-view, might be flying

Once again, Gary Russell Jr is calling for a fight with Gervonta “Tank” Davis.  “I would love to get back in the game,” Russell said in a recent interview with The Boxing Source. “I hear ‘Tank’ don’t got an opponent yet. What’s up, Tank? They say he don’t got no opponent yet. I’m open to

Is Caleb Plant inching toward Hall of Fame status? Maybe not, but he’s starting to look like more than just a former titleholder.  On Saturday night, Caleb Plant stopped Trevor McCumby (28-1, 21 KOs) with just one second left in the ninth round at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, solidifying his status as more than

Kevin Lerena still wants the title fight he earned against the WBC bridgerweight titlist Lawrence Okolie. “I’m mandated to fight Lawrence Okolie, me being the WBC interim bridgerweight champion and him being the full champion,” Lerena (30-3, 14 KOs) recently told Boxing Social.  But the forward momentum towards Okolie-Lerena has come to a halt – at

Moses Itauma is looking forward to a competitive, exciting fight when the IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois defends his title against the “switched on” Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.  The 19 year old heavyweight prodigy should return to the ring in November, by which point the landscape of his weight division could

Daniel Dubois will be the final man to speak at every media event all week. He will walk to the ring second on Saturday night and, when he gets there, he will be announced as the IBF heavyweight champion of the world. Dubois, 21-2 (20 KOs), will pay little attention to the pre-fight pageantry. The

Willy Hutchinson is a naturally self-assured character but only he will know whether the outrageous levels of confidence he displayed before his excellent victory over Craig Richards in June was real or a front intended to throw Richards. Whichever it was, it worked. Richards appeared baffled by the talented Scot’s behaviour before the fight and

The lightweights Joshua James Pagan and Trevor Thonson will fight at the Coca Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 18. They will fight over 10 rounds, after the 10-round light-heavyweight contest between Juan Carillo and Lenin Castillo.  “This is something I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid watching fights on

In exchange for the toll of his first loss, Jaime Munguia continues to learn how greatly he cashed in so many more valuable opportunities. Mexico’s Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) on Friday night returns from a May 4 unanimous decision defeat to boxing’s most popular fighter, countryman Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, by shifting to a new, one-fight

Omar Trinidad will face Hector Sosa in a junior lightweight main event on Oct. 26 at the Commerce Casino Events Center in Los Angeles. Announced on Thursday by 360 Promotions, the 10-round bout will headline the next installment of “Hollywood Fight Nights,” which will be broadcast on UFC Fight Pass. Trinidad (16-0-1, 12 KOs), from

After a relatively quiet summer, the northern U.K. boxing scene has begun to crank back to life, and Thursday brought news of two shows – both of which will take place on Nov. 16.

Josh Kelly insists that size is the least of his concerns ahead of his middleweight fight with Liam Smith, set for Sept. 21 at London’s Wembley Stadium. After turning professional at 147 pounds, Kelly (15-1-1, 8 KOs) has spent the last two years reinventing himself at 154 but will step up to middleweight to fight

LAS VEGAS – In a state deluged by political ads and campaign stops, Nevada’s clash of rival boxing and UFC cards this weekend joins the party, with some casting it as The Strip’s own tiny referendum on Democratic versus MAGA politics. Nevada is among a small handful of states still considered to be in a

Edgar Berlanga’s back is against the wall against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez ahead of their fight on Saturday night.  Only the folks inside the undefeated upstart Berlanga’s (22-0, 17 KOs) camp are giving him a chance to beat the super middleweight king Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs).  Add David Benavidez’s team as the unofficial president of Berlanga’s

Trying to retrace the point when a young red-headed Mexican collected the Face of Boxing tag is not an easy task. For there have been several stops, false starts and lessons along the way for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, the iconic 34-year-old who has become, in the post Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao years, the sport’s towering
