Manny Pacquiao has retired from boxing at the age of 42. The legendary fighter announced the decision in a 14 minute Facebook video titled “Good bye boxing.” To the greatest fans and the greatest sport in the world, thank you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. This is the hardest decision I’ve ever made,

This saga really is the gift that keeps on giving for content-hungry writers. Late last week, Teofimo Lopez signed off on Triller’s plan to move his mandatory title fight with George Kambosos Jr. from October 4th at Hulu Theater to October 16th at Barclays Center. Two days later, FITE TV officially listed the date as

Boy, did boxing mostly suck in September, huh? Outside of Joshua-Usyk exceeding any and all hype, it was a month of empty weekends, disappointing matchups, and one great big embarrassment courtesy the ambitious outside-the-bun thinkers of Triller Fight Club. Thankfully, October is a lot more promising. As always these days, any fight on the schedule

John Riel Casimero and his team aren’t doing too great at negotiating this year. At the request of mandatory challenger Paul Butler, the WBO has scheduled an October 7th purse bid for “Quadro Alas’” next defense. The minimum bid is $100,000. Casimero (31-4, 21 KO) saw a big-money fight with countryman Nonito Donaire fall through

The new £1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London is hard to miss. Sticking its head out above the high-rise flats, tired pubs, hipster coffee shops and abundance of fast-food restaurants, you’d be forgiven for assuming – after a glass or two, granted – that a spaceship had landed in the middle of town.

Teofimo Lopez’s repeatedly-delayed return against mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr appears to be fully set for Saturday, Oct. 16, the latest date for the troubled event from Triller Fight Club.

Roy Jones Jr, legendary pound-for-pound champion, was in the house Saturday in London, calling Oleksandr Usyk’s big win over Anthony Joshua for DAZN. After the fight, Jones sat down for DAZN’s “Beyond the Bell” to break down Joshua-Usyk and talk about a bit more, including why he doesn’t think anyone should want to see Usyk

Oleksandr Usyk scored the biggest win of his career on Saturday in London, beating Anthony Joshua by clear decision to win the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles. The victory makes Usyk the only fighter to win truly recognized world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight other than Evander Holyfield, though obviously David Haye would

Callum Smith landed a vicious right hand in the second round to knock out Lenin Castillo today in London, but the story is less about the fight and more about a scary KO. The 33-year-old Castillo (21-4-1, 16 KO) was drilled with the punch and the fight was stopped 55 seconds into round two, with

One nice thing about the European Boxing Union (EBU) is that it keeps an up-to-date reference page for the state of its titles. Said page reveals that Joshua Buatsi is in “private negotiations” to face newly crowned light heavyweight champion and fellow Rio 2016 gold medalist Mathieu Bauderlique. After a one-fight 2020 saw him come

Salvador Rodriguez brings word that Matchroom Boxing, promoter of Israil Madrimov, won today’s purse bid for their charge’s ordered eliminator against “gold” champion Michel Soro with a $245,000 offer. They intend to stage the fight on December 11th in either the U.S. or Ukraine. Why Ukraine for a fight between an Uzbek and a Frenchman?
