Things don’t appear to be getting any closer for a potential fight between undefeated light heavyweight prospect Tommy Fury and social media star Jake Paul. They were scheduled to collide back in December, with Fury withdrawing with a training camp injury. Fury was replaced by former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, who Paul brutally knocked out.

The emphatic knockout and some competitive early rounds shouldn’t obscure the obvious.

Romero had barely more than a novice’s professional experience, a belief in his power, and technique that begs for the sort of

So, about that Gervonta Davis fight. Those who were all-in on “Tank” before Saturday night surely found enough evidence in a sixth-round stoppage of loudmouth contender Rolly Romero to continue espousing their claims. And yet those lukewarm on the Mayweather protégé before he arrived in Brooklyn can look at the way he struggled with Romero

George Kambosos Jr. wondered aloud why Devin Haney shared the stage with him on Monday. It wasn’t because the unbeaten lineal/WBA/IBF/WBO lightweight champion feels his WBC counterpart from Las Vegas doesn’t deserve to share the spotlight or the ring with him, at least not at this moment.  As BoxingScene.com recently reported, Australia’s Kambosos used his

NEW YORK – Gervonta Davis laughed when he was informed during their post-fight press conference that Rolando Romero requested an immediate rematch a few minutes earlier Sunday morning. “Hey, I don’t know, man,” Davis replied. “Shout out to him.” All kidding aside, Davis doesn’t think what transpired during their lightweight title fight warrants a rematch.

Although there were nineteen other fighters on the card, the fans inside Barclays Center were there to see Gervonta Davis. More specifically, those who purchased tickets to the fights in Brooklyn were there to see one particular result: Davis knocking out Rolando Romero.

Barclays Center, Brooklyn – Jesus “Mono” Ramos (19-0, 15 KOs) earn a unanimous decision over rugged battler Luke Santamaria (13-3-1, 7 KOs) by scores of 98-92 and 97-93 twice in their 10-round super welterweight attraction. “I could have pressed a little more, gone to the body a little more, but he was kind of slippery

Barclays Center, Brooklyn – WBA “regular” lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) was surprised that Rolando Romero (14-1, 12 KOs) went down as hard as he did in the sixth round. In what was a competitive fight, Romero stepped in to throw a right and was countered by a big left hand that dropped

NEW YORK – Gervonta Davis didn’t land many punches on Rolando Romero on Saturday night, but he made his last shot count. The counter left hand Davis landed as Romero attempted to hit him with a right hand abruptly ended their fight late in the sixth round at a sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Romero

Former two division world champion Timothy Bradley is expecting Gervonta Davis to retain his WBA “regular” lightweight title over Rolando Romero in style. Davis will defend the WBA strap against Romero on Saturday night, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The fight is headlining a Showtime Pay-Per-View card. Romero is viewed by some as a

Gervonta Davis doesn’t exactly see a one-punch knockout as the most satisfying outcome against Rolando Romero on Saturday night. The hard hitting Baltimore native believes it would be more appealing to apply a steady beatdown of his brash opponent in their 12-round, WBA “World” lightweight  title bout this Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Rolando “Rolly” Romero did not appreciate what he felt was a reckless move from Gervonta Davis after their weigh-in Friday afternoon in Brooklyn. Outside of the Barclays Center, the site of their 12-round WBA “World” lightweight title bout on Saturday night, both fighters moseyed up to the center of the stage to flex for the

Rolando Romero can’t say Isaac Cruz did enough to upset Gervonta Davis in their 12-round fight December 5. Romero credits Cruz for exposing weaknesses in Davis’ game, though, that the undefeated contender is confident he’ll exploit when they square off Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Cruz caught Davis with the type of flush

Otto Wallin will essentially stay busy in another non-televised fight Thursday night in Dearborn, Michigan. Assuming the favored heavyweight contender defeats Rydell Booker in their 10-round main event, his promoter hopes to land the Swedish southpaw a more meaningful fight later this year. Wallin would welcome a rematch with Tyson Fury at any point, but

Eddie Hearn has little doubt about the merits of Devin Haney’s ability inside the ring, but he is perhaps a bit apprehensive about some of the circumstances surrounding his former charge. Hearn, the former longtime promoter of the WBC lightweight titlist from Oakland, feels that Haney’s needs will not be looked after all that stringently

Gervonta Davis believes even Rolando Romero himself doubts the trash his opponent Saturday night has talked during the buildup toward their fight. Romero repeatedly has predicted that he’ll knock out Davis in the first round of their 12-round fight for Davis’ secondary WBA lightweight title. Davis’ rival claims that he is too big, too strong,
