Serhii Bohachuk spends some time talking with Fight Hub TV on losing out his fight with Israil Madrimov, with Madrimov citing illness despite announcing a fight against Vergil Ortiz, and his outlook on the division as a whole.

Tyson Fury says he’s better-prepared for Saturday’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk compared to their first bout on May 18, and that if he were smarter, he likely would have pushed back that first fight a little further. “This time it’s been a lot easier.

With IBF cruiserweight mandatory Huseyin Cinkara out of commission, Jake Donovan reports that 2020 Olympic bronze medalist David Nyika will step up to face Jai Opetaia on January 8th in Broadbeach.

David Benavidez and David Morrell nearly came to blows at a press event to promote their Feb. 1 super middleweight fight.

Whyte sees the possibility for a stoppage either way, but says Fury “needs to be very careful” because Usyk has developed nicely as a heavyweight and is

Scott Christ Hitchins was miserable to watch in his last bout, a debatable (being kind) win over Gustavo Lemos. Paro’s not usually as cautious as he was against Subriel Matias, though, and he might see that getting in close and trying to make Hitchins uncomfortable is the way to go here, not only for The

Emanuel Navarrete vs Oscar Valdez 2 Scott Christ I like both guys, but I also think they’re past their primes for real, not just by a little but notably so. Maybe I’m wrong. I’d rather be wrong. But the Navarrete we’ve seen the last two times out has seen, it appears, bad habits in camp

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez unified the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles today in Riyadh, beating Chris Billam-Smith in a rugged main event that deserves major credit on both sides. Ramirez took the fight on scores of 116-112, 116-112, and 116-113, a clear win in a very competitive fight where Billam-Smith, as always, simply would not go

While doing live coverage for this past weekend’s boxing card headlined by Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, more fans complained of buffering and crashing issues with Netflix than ever before as we deduce that the streaming company was ill-prepared for the demand on their servers.

As expected, WBA super flyweight champion Fernando Martinez and former titlist Kazuto Ioka will run it back on New Year’s Eve at Tokyo’s Ota-City Gymnasium.
