As Carl Frampton readies himself for this weekend’s WBO super featherweight title fight against Jamel Herring, Frampton admits to RingTV that it’s been a while since he’s last fought a southpaw fighter, but isn’t concerned with the style so much as he says he’s been having good success in training.

38-year-old heavyweight veteran Molina (27-7, 19 KO) gave project-prospect Wardley (11-0, 10 KO) some decent work in this one, but was stopped early in the fifth round when he got caught with some shots and didn’t answer the referee’s count. He and his corner complained about it, feeling there was a trip or something —
PPV (AUS), 4:00 am ET, Tim Tszyu vs Dennis Hogan. A lot of us were hoping ESPN+ or DAZN might grab this one, but so far nothing. I was even hoping maybe it’d have FITE PPV access here, but nothing. If there comes a way to watch it, I’ll be here. If not, I won’t.
Dillian Whyte got his revenge tonight in Gibraltar, dropping and stopping Alexander Povetkin in the fourth round to regain — for what it’s worth — the interim WBC heavyweight title.

Amanda Serrano kept the WBC and WBO featherweight titles tonight in San Juan, Puerto Rico, knocking out Daniela Bermudez on a ninth round body shot to secure her 40th career victory.

After a lot of will-they/won’t-they, it appears that there will be some sort of encounter between Mike Tyson and Evander Hoylfield coming on May 29. “There’s a small, fundamental difference to get some paperwork done, and then it’s on to the races with me and Evander,” Tyson said. “The fight is on with me and
