Boxing fans concerned that BLK Prime spent their entire budget on Terence Crawford’s $10 Million guaranteed purse need not worry any longer.

Grisham will handle play-by-play, a job he’s very familiar

Jaron Ennis battles Karen Chukhadzhian for the interim IBF welterweight title in the co-feature, while Rashidi Ellis battles Roiman Villa and Demetrius Andrade returns against Demond

Mike Tyson was an enigma that could snatch another man’s confidence through a television screen. “The Baddest Man on the Planet” was mean. When you saw “Iron Mike” in the ring, as the announcers introduced him, you knew he was a gladiator who was not headhunting, but hearthunting. A product of famed trainer Cus D’Amato,

Ryan Garcia has responded to Gervonta “Tank” Davis saying that Garcia is “definitely on something” after seeing a recent photo, and also Davis’ claim that Garcia’s team turned down early VADA testing for their planned April 2023 fight.

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis wasn’t kidding when he says he’s got smoke for everybody. Tank openly lashed out on Twitter today, in a series of since-deleted posts where he basically accused Ryan Garcia of doping before going off on DAZN and Eddie Hearn for sweeping these sort of issues under the rug. As mentioned, Tank would

Jaime Munguia’s freefall into irrelevance looks to continue apace, as he tells ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez that he’s turned down the WBO’s recent order to challenge Janibek Alimkhanuly for their middleweight title. The sanctioning body has yet to reveal who will get the call in his stead. Chris Eubank Jr sits at no. 2 in their

Derek Chisora is known for his brash persona, but had a much more humble presence during the final press conference for this weekend’s fight with Tyson Fury. Chisora plainly tells the public that he doesn’t have it in him to try to bash Tyson Fury with mean words in the build up to this fight

Regis Prograis says things are “squared away” after Tweeting yesterday that his fight purse check bounced following last Saturday’s win over Jose Zepeda, thanking the promoters of the fight for getting things figured out in quick fashion: “I know there’s been a lot of talk over the payday and all that stuff. I just want

A light flyweight unification bout between WBC champ Kim Clavel and WBA champ Jessica Nery Plata in Laval, Canada, originally scheduled for tomorrow, fell through at the eleventh hour yesterday when Clavel caught the flu.

Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith met on stage for an official press conference announcing their Jan. 21 fight, and Eubank Jr played the familiar role of villain before expressing his expectations for an easy fight against Smith. “No, I don’t think this is gonna be a harder fight than Conor,” Eubank Jr said. “Conor

Larry Merchant was adroit in his synopsis of the fight after the decision was announced. The legendary announcer proclaimed that of all the fighters who paid homage to Sugar Ray Robinson with the moniker of “Sugar,” only two fighters lived up to it: Ray Leonard and Shane Mosley. Shane surely put the sugar to his

Terence Crawford’s fight with David Avanesyan will be carried by Integrated Sports PPV, meaning it will be available to buy on cable and satellite as well as streaming on PPV.com, in addition to the BLK Prime stream. It’s a good move by BLK Prime, who are new to the boxing game, and as we’ve seen

Undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo took to a live stream to talk openly with his fans about what he’s got going on before he made it a point to go after Terence Crawford.
