Most expected Charlo

DAZN and Social Media, 3:00 pm ET, Lopez vs Kambosos press conference. Teofimo and George are a couple of real rowdy boys, or at least they played some last time they got on a stage together, although that was for Triller and their idea that boxing fans are dying for more WWE theatrics, so we’ll

Jason Quigley had a bad night at the office on Friday, as not only was he stopped in the second round by Demetrius Andrade in a challenge for Andrade’s WBO middleweight title, but he says he had his jaw broken in the opening round of the fight. Andrade stopped Quigley in the second round to

Kenny Porter took some heat from within and around the boxing world on Saturday not. It wasn’t so much that he stopped his son Shawn’s fight with Terence Crawford — which was Shawn’s first, and with his retirement, last stoppage loss — but many felt he did Shawn dirty with his post-fight interview in the

Terence Crawford retained his WBO title with a stoppage win over Shawn Porter tonight in Las Vegas, dropping Porter twice in the 10th round before Kenny Porter, Shawn’s father and trainer, stopped the bout. Crawford (38-0, 29 KO) is getting plenty of acclaim and respect for another electric, show-closing sort of performance, this time in

Terence Crawford isn’t favored by quite the huge odds we’ve seen for fellow top stars like Canelo Alvarez, but he’s a strong favorite to win tonight against Shawn Porter in their ESPN+ pay-per-view main event. The undefeated Crawford (37-0, 28 KO) is listed at -700 on DraftKings, which is actually the most “competitive” a Crawford

Demetrius Andrade doesn’t always command the love of boxing fans or pundits/critics/whatever you want to call media. John Hansen talked about that here just the other day, and while Andrade has his fans and has his defenders, the reality is that Andrade wouldn’t be fighting in places like Manchester, New Hampshire, which he did last

Though they later deleted the Tweet, Mike Coppinger now confirms the reported lineup, Cassius Chaney vs. George Arias headlines the all-heavyweight card, while the co-main event sees Michael Hunter fight

Terence Crawford takes a pretty high amount of criticism for someone considered to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in boxing, because it’s believed he still hasn’t faced a top fighter. That perception could change on Saturday, when he takes on Shawn Porter in a PPV main event from Las Vegas. Will Crawford pass

After controversially defeating Maxim Vlasov for the WBO light heavyweight title, Joe Smith Jr. turned down a unification clash with Artur Beterbiev in favor of a two-fight deal that would see him fight mandatory challenger Umar Salamov before a big-money bout with fellow New Yorker Daniel Jacobs.

Matchroom Boxing’s Twitter account hit us with the ol’ good news/bad news two-piece this morning. Shortly after announcing that Lee McGregor would defend his European title against Narek Abgaryan on their December 18th Parker-Chisora 2 show, they revealed that Joshua Buatsi suffered a hand injury in training, scrapping a planned clash with Maxim Vlasov. Buatsi

Japanese light flyweight champion Masamichi Yabuki authored one of 2021’s biggest upsets last September by stopping WBC champ Kenshiro Teraji in the 10th round of an absolute war. Now, it looks as though the two will go at it again, as representatives held a press conference today to announce that they’d agreed to a spring
