Tyson Fury says he’s ready to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world, sending out an aggressive message to the Ukrainian he calls a “middleweight.” “Usyk, middleweight, you say you want the WBC (belt) … it’s held by the ‘Gypsy King,’ and it’s held tightly, grasped tight,” Fury said on social
As former heavyweight titleholder Joseph Parker readies for his next outing against Joe Joyce on September 24 in Manchester, Parker says he’s sensing cracks in the armor of Joyce’s confidence stemming from their fight negotiations. As Parker sees it, Joyce and his team can’t be overly confident about their chances in beating him as they
Find out why professionals are using BoxBandz Scott Christ (56-28) Stylistically, I think this is a potentially very tough fight for both men, and I like this matchup. Ruiz at his best — and he looks to be in Good Andy Ruiz Shape — is fast, a sharp puncher, good power, and really tough. Ortiz is
Multiple sources report that Earnie Shavers, arguably the most destructive man to lace up the gloves, has passed away the day after his 78th birthday. Shavers, a fixture of the 1970s-1980s golden age of heavyweight boxing, was recognized by his pears as a nonpareil knockout artist. He amassed a 74-14-1 (68 KO) record in a
This weekend Liam Smith (31-3-1, 18 KOs) makes his debut for Boxxer as he’s set to take on Hassan Mwakinyo (20-2, 14 KOs) in Liverpool, England. Smith tells Sky Sports that he’s familiar with Mwakinyo having sparred with him in the past, and believes he’ll be coming to give his best effort thus cannot take
Robert Helenius has perhaps the biggest fight of his career on schedule as he readies to face former heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder on October 15. At age 38, one wouldn’t think Helenius could possibly be coming into his prime, but Helenius expects to show people that he’s not really past it and that he’s even
One of the fights on this coming Sunday’s Ruiz vs Ortiz pay-per-view has gone from a crossroads bout to a clash of prospects. Broadway Joel reports and Dan Rafael confirms that Jose Valenzuela will face fellow young gun Edwin De Los Santos after original foe Jezreel Corrales was denied a visa. There’s an argument to
During yesterday’s opening press conference for Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius, which will receive its chief support with a fight between super middleweights Caleb Plant and Anthony Dirrell, Dirrell took some time to field media questions about the personal dislike between Plant and himself. Here, Dirrell says he doesn’t quite care for the way Plant
Things have not been going well for Eddie Hearn of late vis-à-vis light heavyweight contender Joshua Buatsi. First, the WBA smacked down Hearn’s attempt to have Buatsi leapfrog Zurdo Ramirez for a crack at Dmitry Bivol, forcing Matchroom to focus instead on an ordered IBF eliminator against Jean Pascal. Then, earlier today, DiBella Entertainment outbid
Today has been just full of surprises. Not long after Lou DiBella snatched Joshua Buatsi vs Jean Pascal out from under Eddie Hearn’s nose, MarvNation Promotions won the rights to Jose Zepeda vs Regis Prograis with a gigantic $2.4 million bid, doubling up on PBC’s $1.2 million offer. From what I’ve been able to gather,
Chris Eubank Jr takes some time to chat with iFL TV about his upcoming battle with Conor Benn, wanting to make it plainly clear for everyone to see how much of a good time he’s having in the lead up to this fight. In fact, Eubank is so comfortable with the conditions of this fight
Former cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis will take on an unbeaten Australian standout in his next fight, but not the one you probably expected. The Courier-Mail reports that he’s “verbally agreed” to face heavyweight Justis Huni on October 29th in Brisbane. Briedis (28-2, 20 KO), last seen warring his way to a hugely entertaining loss to
The heavyweight picture seems pretty clear in the sense that the fight to make right now is an undisputed clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. And as all signs point to that fight ultimately working its way to fruition (although it’s still extremely early), one fellow heavyweight in Michael Hunter shares some of his
The “MF x DAZN Series” will continue on Saturday, Oct. 15, as MMA legend Vitor Belfort will face Hasim Rahman Jr in a boxing match from Sheffield, England. Rahman appeared on the “MF x DAZN” card today in London to speak about the fight being official. It wasn’t clear if it will be DAZN or
Jose Pedraza and Richard Commey came into tonight’s ESPN main event from Tulsa, Okla., both needing a win, and when all was said and done, neither of them got it. Pedraza and Commey fought to a split draw in the 10-round bout at 140 lbs, with Pedraza winning one card 97-93, Commey taking another 96-94,
Sky Sports (UK), 2:00 pm ET, Liam Smith vs Hassan Mwakinyo. This may wind up on FITE+ in the U.S., but maybe not. The main event is OK at best on paper, Mwakinyo has won a bunch in a row but the competition has been middling, and Smith has always, always done the business against
KSI knocked out Swarmz in the second round of their internet celebrity boxing fight today at London’s O2 Arena, and followed it up a few hours later with a third round stoppage of extremely low-level professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda. The KSI vs Swarmz was, being honest, pretty terrible. But it was nothing compared to
