Boxing Scene

Hall of Fame trainer Teddy Atlas saw Youtuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, as the clear winner of last Sunday’s fight with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. Their contest headlined a Showtime Pay-Per-View card in Paul’s hometown of Cleveland. Paul won an eight round split decision – but Atlas felt Paul the rightful victory. The veteran

Undefeated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOs) believes World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) is being steered away by Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn. He feels Hearn is preventing  from challenging Bivol in a battle of undefeated, world-class fighters. “I know my team is pushing for this fight but we’ve

Mexican boxer Jeanette Zacarias Zapata is still fighting for her life, although her condition has reportedly improved since she was hospitalized Saturday night.  The 18-year-old suffered life-threatening brain damage after getting knocked out by Marie-Pier Houle in a women’s welterweight contest at the IGA Stadium on Aug. 28 in Montreal on the undercard of the

Promoter Eddie Hearn, who works with WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney, is trying to get his boxer the biggest fight possible. Among the names mentioned is undefeated boxer Rolando “Rolly” Romero and top rated contender Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz. However, Diaz is more keen on facing someone like rising Ryan Garcia in the fall. And they

Unbeaten prospect Tommy Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is taking aim at Youtube star turned boxer, Jake Paul. The two rivals were in action this past Sunday, as part of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card. Fury opened up the pay-per-view card with a four round decision over Anthony Taylor.

CLEVELAND – Jake Paul is certain he already beat a tougher UFC fighter than Conor McGregor. There is no doubt, though, that McGregor is a bigger star than Tyron Woodley, which would make Paul-McGregor an even bigger event than the spectacle that did big business both at the gate and on pay-per-view Sunday night. McGregor

Cleveland – Promising British heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois (17-1, 16 KOs) made his U.S. debut in style, knocking down Juiseppe Angelo Cusumano (19-4, 17 KOs) three times en-route to a first-round stoppage. Dubois landed nearly everything he threw on the overmatched Cusumano, who was finished off by a barrage of punches 2:10 into the fight.

CLEVELAND – Charles Conwell was impressive again Sunday night in a fight only his hometown fans witnessed. Cleveland’s Conwell, a 2016 U.S. Olympian, stopped previously unbeaten Juan Carlos Rubio in the third round of a scheduled 10-round junior middleweight match at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The 23-year-old Conwell’s win was the only one of the five

CLEVELAND – Jake Paul wore expensive jewelry to a press conference Thursday, but not a shirt. Tyron Woodley mocked his polarizing opponent for arriving shirtless to promote their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event Sunday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. An unfazed Paul took the same apathetic approach to Woodley’s words that he typically takes to criticism.

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39-years-old, is offended by some of the critics who believe that he’s only coming to cash a check when he faces Youtube star turned boxer, Jake Paul, on Sunday night in Cleveland. Paul is only taking part in his fourth pro fight, but he’s yet to face an actual boxer.

Anthony Cacace made a successful belated first defence of his British super featherweight title as he battered Lyon Woodstock for the full 12 rounds as he recorded a unanimous points victory in Birmingham.  Cacace had won the title in his last fight way back in 2019, by beating Sam Bowen at the same venue. He

CLEVELAND – It’s impossible for Montana Love to avoid becoming emotional during the biggest fight week of his boxing career. Six years ago, he was imprisoned. Incarceration was even more difficult for Love because his mother, Clarice Love, died from colon cancer at the age of 38 in January 2015. The Cleveland native’s longtime trainer

Houston boxer Eridson Garcia (14-0, 9 KOs) remained undefeated and captured the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) Super Featherweight Championship, winning the main event last night on the latest installment of RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS, presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing in association with Next Up Fight and the World Cup

Rolando Romero has no problem keeping up his bad boy persona so long as that means more people end up watching “The Sweet Science.”  The hard-punching – and frequently profane – lightweight contender has made a name for himself as one of the more abrasive personalities in boxing. While his rhetoric may be off putting to

The stage is set for the Boxeo Telemundo summer season finale. Dennis ‘El Martillo’ Contreras and Cesar Juarez both made weight ahead of their scheduled ten-round regional title fight. Both boxers weighed right at the 126-pound divisional limit for their televised main event Friday evening on Telemundo from White Sands Event Center in Plant City,

Every fighter talks and dreams about that “opportunity of a lifetime,” but few ever get it, and the percentage that actually come out on top is even smaller. Heavyweight Juiseppe Cusumano, the hard-hitting, 6-foot-4 giant from Sicily – appropriately nicknamed “The Sicilian Nightmare” – finally gets that coveted, life-changing opportunity Sunday, August 29 in Cleveland

LOS ANGELES — After kickstarting an adamant campaign to fight the superstar he long-promoted, Oscar De La Hoya now has a change of heart on facing Canelo Alvarez as he begins his boxing comeback tour at the age of 48.  “I changed my mind,”  De La Hoya told reporters before a media workout promoting his
