With the days dwindling down until Anthony Joshua gets his shot at redemption by rematch Oleksandr Usyk, there’s been a fair amount of talk about Usyk looking noticeably bigger heading into this fight. Here Joshua talks to the media about fighting in Saudi Arabia, and why he thinks Usyk might be trying to come into

During a conversation with Fight Hub TV, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn talks a bit about this weekend’s heavyweight rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua before touching on the subject of Derek Chisora and what could be coming down the pipe for him. Here Hearn makes his case for why he believes Chisora is a

WBC/WBO featherweight champion Amanda Serrano, who saw a mandatory title defense against Brenda Carabajal go up in smoke when the Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr card fell apart, won’t be out of the ring for long. Frank Warren announced today that she’ll take on IBF titlist Sarah Mahfoud as part of the September 24th

Here’s where last we stood on the Juan Francisco Estrada saga: In February, the WBA orders Estrada (42-3, 28 KO) to make a long, long overdue defense against “world” champ Franco. Golden Boy wins the purse bid with an utterly putrid offer of $120,000. Everyone assumes Estrada will ditch the belt and go right back

33-year-old heavyweight knockout artist Arslanbek Makhmudov has signed a “multi-year co-promotional contract” with Top Rank, who will work alongside existing promoter Eye of the Tiger to manage “The Lion’s” career going forward. “I’m fortunate to work with the top promoters in the world,” Makhmudov said. “This represents an important step toward achieving my goal of

It’s official. After news broke this morning that Adrien Broner was withdrawing from this weekend’s Showtime main event against Omar Figueroa, Showtime has just announced that they’ve slotted Sergey Lipinets to take Broner’s place in the featured fight. Lipinets had already been lined up to appear on the undercard of this fight, and will now

ProBox TV, 9:00 pm ET, Juan Carlos Camacho Jr vs Fernando Diaz. This is a Miguel Cotto-promoted show and ProBox’s first from Puerto Rico. Glad to see them with another card so quickly, and looking to expand around for different deals and ideas. Bad Left Hook might have live coverage (at the very least we’ll

The rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua has finally been officially announced for DAZN in the United States and other markets, something that has been anticipated, reported independently, but still sat without an official announcement until today, six days before the bout on Aug. 20. Usyk (19-0, 13 KO) will be defending his WBA,

You may not be buying Tyson Fury’s handful of retirement announcements this year, the most recent of which came late last week after reports of a potential fight with Derek Chisora in December, and you wouldn’t be alone. I don’t buy it. Bob Arum doesn’t buy it. Most people probably don’t. The Ring have accepted

Teofimo Lopez got back in the ring tonight for the first time since his 2021 loss to George Kambosos Jr, scoring a seventh round TKO over a game but over-matched Pedro Campa. Obviously, the bigger question now — and even before the fight — was what Lopez might do after this fight. He said some

Just hours ahead of a scheduled purse bid, WBA “super” featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz and “world” champion Leigh Wood successfully came to terms for their title consolidator, which is “tentatively scheduled” for November 5th or 12th. It’s definitely a surprise that this fight came together, though not an unwelcome one. Both Wood (26-2, 16

As Tyson Fury continually pump fakes the public with talks of his retirement, Top Rank’s Bob Arum talks to Fight Hub TV about his perspective on Fury’s future plans and why he says you can’t take anything Fury says too seriously. And as Arum tells it, Fury is an attention whore — and yes, I’m

During a conversation with Marcos Villegas of Fight Hub TV, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum talks about Teofimo Lopez’s return to action this weekend against Pedro Campa and what could potentially lie ahead for Lopez as he looks to campaign at the 140 lb division. On Lopez looking to show that he’s still the same

Here’s a development with a lot going on under the surface: Fernando Barbosa revealed earlier today that the IBF has ordered Josh Taylor to defend his super lightweight titles against Jeremias Ponce, with Jake Donovan adding that the two have until August 23rd to avoid a purse bid. On paper, this seems pretty self-explanatory. When

Tyson Fury sort of came out of nowhere when he announced that he’s looking to push off retirement in order to take on a trilogy match against Derek Chisora. To be fair, it wasn’t really a fight on anyone’s radar nor one that was clamored for with Fury having decidedly won two previous bouts with
