The new £1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London is hard to miss.

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.

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?

Plant came

With Anthony Joshua set to defend his heavyweight world titles against Oleksandr Usyk this weekend in London, Joshua tells ESPN that he’s been much more concerned about preparing himself to deal with Usyk’s southpaw style rather than worry much about whatever power Usyk might be packing. “He’s fought many men that are orthodox and during

So here’s the latest on the Nonito Donaire situation: while Bob Arum has proposed a rematch with Naoya Inoue, the WBC bantamweight champion restarted talks with WBO champion John Riel Casimero, whom he was slated to face in the summer before withdrawing due to a social media spat.

This is beyond parody. Triller’s Ryan Kavanaugh, appearing on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour, claims that he’s now hoping to move Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr from October 4th at Hulu Theater to October 16th at Barclays Center.
