There’s a scene in the Will Ferrell film “Kicking and Screaming” where Robert Duvall’s character is trying to compare his manhood and success with Mike Ditka’s. “I can’t hear you,” Ditka responds, flashing his Chicago Bears’ 1985 Super Bowl season memento, “my ring is making too much noise.” Brazil’s Robson Conceicao similarly wears his World

Terence Crawford seems to have a single-minded pursuit of Canelo Alvarez in progress for now, but the pound-for-pound elite and unbeaten four-division champion is finding it hard to deny that he, too, is being targeted.

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.

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.

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
