The days of DAZN claiming pay-per-view is dead have truly died, as the company has picked up Floyd Mayweather’s Nov. 13 exhibition bout with social media star Deji for their PPV platform. Mayweather, 45, hasn’t had a sanctioned bout since 2017 when he beat Conor McGregor, but has become a standout on the exhibition circuit.

The Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva pay-per-view undercard has added another fight, and this one is between two pro boxers who have actually been active in the sport. Bantamweights Alexandro Santiago (26-3-5, 13 KO) and Antonio Nieves (20-3-2, 11 KO) will meet in a 10-round bout, which will be a rematch of a ShoBox fight

After an unusually (for this time of the year) bad lull in the boxing schedule, we’ve got a mass of big names back in action this Saturday. Deontay Wilder returns after a year out of the ring to spice up the heavyweight division with his right hand bombs. Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall finally meet

Regis Prograis will have a shot to win the vacant WBC 140 lb title on Nov. 26, when he faces Jose Zepeda in a pay-per-view main event from Carson, Calif. It’s a terrific matchup, albeit one everyone will wish weren’t yet another pay-per-view, an odd situation where the purse bid was won by a relative

Turns out Kenshiro Teraji vs Hiroto Kyoguchi won’t be the only unification Japan hosts in the coming months. Levi Luna reports and Jake Donovan confirms that WBO super flyweight champion Kazuto Ioka and newly minted WBA “super” champion Joshua Franco are on course to unify on one of the country’s traditional end-of-year shows. Per Donovan,

News broke last week that newly crowned WBA “world” heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois was looking to make his inaugural defense against Lucas Browne, only for “Big Daddy” to reveal almost immediately that the BBBofC refused to sanction the fight on account of his age. There are many more compelling reasons to can that fight than

Michael Conlan revealed today that he’ll squeeze one more fight into his 2022 campaign when he faces Karim Guerfi on December 10th, headlining his second consecutive show at Belfast’s SSE Arena. Conlan (17-1, 8 KO) fights for the second time since last March’s Fight of the Year candidate against Leigh Wood, which saw him seize

Sebastian Fundora stayed unbeaten and kept his spot near the front of the line at 154 lbs, beating a very game, tough Carlos Ocampo over 12 rounds tonight on Showtime from Carson, Calif. Judges scored the fight 117-111, 118-110, and 119-109, which was met with some criticism, as was the performance referee Jack Reiss, which

A couple of weeks ago, as September was wrapping up and October was coming in like every promoter in boxing had fallen asleep, I started this little Sunday “takeaways” idea. As I said then, starting a new weekly feature the week before there would be no need for that feature ran the risk of me

One of these days, “Boots” is gonna walk all over you – “you” being the abundance of championship-level boxers in the welterweight division. A multifaceted pugilist, the ambidextrous Jaron Ennis (29-0, 27 KO) is steadily rising up the ranks, and should have everyone at 147 lbs on red alert. There are many redeeming qualities that

Earlier this week, the controversial, highly anticipated Son vs Son showdown between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn collapsed in a very public way. On Wednesday, the day of Benn and Eubank’s media workout, news broke that Benn had failed a Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) test due to a positive result for clomiphene, a drug

In the midst of all the fallout stemming from the late cancellation of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn — or ‘postponement’ as Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn will tell you — Hearn speaks to DAZN to clear up the current status of everything that’s going on while also confirming the entire card will be scrapped

Despite recent news that suggests we’re not imminently close to a highly anticipated welterweight showdown between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford, Spence has been on social media assuring the world that the fight will happening, and it will be his next fight.

Another quality fight has fallen off the upcoming schedule, as Jake Donovan reports and ESPN confirms that Jessie Magdaleno has withdrawn from his October 29th clash with Robeisy Ramirez due to “bone exostosis on his left hand.” The bout was set to lead into Vasiliy Lomachenko’s return to action against Jamaine Ortiz on ESPN.
