A dry month just got drier. With COVID cases skyrocketing in the United Kingdom and a new, more contagious strain making itself known, the British Boxing Board of Control today suspended all “tournaments” for January 2021. This impacts two noteworthy events: MTK Global’s January 22nd Karim Guerfi-Lee McGregor card and Matchroom’s January 30th David Avanesyan-Josh

Luke Campbell came up short in another big fight on Saturday, knocked out in the seventh round by Ryan Garcia in an interim WBC lightweight title fight.

Ryan Garcia’s 2021 is off to the right start, and so is boxing’s.

Sorry, Eddie. It’s looking increasingly likely that Gennadiy Golovkin’s next title defense will see him take on former super welterweight champ Jaime Munguia. Zanfer’s Fernando Beltran told ESPN yesterday that the fight, which is currently in the negotiation stage, was “very possible,” while Oscar De La Hoya calls the talks “promising.” I’m just going to
