WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol and former WBO super middleweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez have seemingly been on a collision course this entire year, but nothing has yet come to fruition.

Dan Rafael reports that WBA “world” super featherweight champion Roger Gutierrez and interim champion Chris Colbert, whom the sanctioning body ordered to fight for the now-vacant “super” title earlier this year, are “penciled in” to fight February 19th on Showtime.

Shakur Stevenson became a two-weight world champion tonight, stopping Jamel Herring in the 10th round to take the WBO junior lightweight title in Atlanta.

Matchroom appears to have successfully taken their lemons and made lemonade.

The contracts are “not signed but should be

Murodjon Akhmadaliev will have something scary waiting for him if he gets past Ronny Rios.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury just took to Twitter to wish former titleholder and heavyweight rival Deontay Wilder a happy birthday.

Irish middleweight Jason Quigley has a huge opportunity on Friday, Nov. 19, when he challenges Demetrius Andrade for the WBO title in a DAZN main event from Manchester, New Hampshire.

I’d make a “Nth time’s the charm” joke, but I literally can’t remember which attempt we’re on at this point. Late last week, Mike Coppinger reported that Matchroom would “likely” stage the freshly acquired Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos Jr. fight on November 27th. Now, he claims the fight “will” take place at Madison Square

Otto Wallin is in a big club of fighters who thought they’d booked fights, only to see the matchup fizzle out.
