Following Vitor Belfort’s swift destruction of Evander Holyfield in less than one round of work on Saturday night, former welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter give his assesement of the Triller show and what we can look forward to in the future — particularly a potential fight between Belfort and Jake Paul. Speaking to Fight Hub TV,

Anderson Silva made quick work of Tito Ortiz in tonight’s Triller Fight Club boxing match, knocking Ortiz out in the first round. Silva (3-1, 2 KO in boxing) and Ortiz (0-1 in boxing) are both MMA legends, but this boxing matchup always strongly favored Silva, and he didn’t waste time in there, dropping and stopping

A day after his points win over Robson Conceicao, WBC titleholder Oscar Valdez takes some questions from Fight Hub TV about how he’s feeling now that he’s got this win under his belt and he looks towards bigger bouts. Check out some excerpts of what Valdez had to say below. Oscar Valdez on if he

In one of the saddest, most disgraceful displays of pessimistic nonsense the sport of boxing, which is largely built on pessimistic nonsense, will ever see, Vitor Belfort stopped 58-year-old Evander Holyfield in the first round of tonight’s Triller Fight Club main event. The fight was technically an exhibition in that it’s not going to count

Tonight’s Triller Fight Club main event saw a 58-year-old boxing legend look like a shell of a shell of a shell of the fighter people want to remember, and even a shell of the fighter he was when he was hopelessly still fighting a decade ago. Vitor Belfort stopped Evander Holyfield in the first round,

It’s been anything but smooth sailing in the past week or so for Oscar Valdez. First, he tested positive for phentermine, which meant he’d failed a VADA drug test, but the fight was allowed to go on anyway, sanctioned not only by the commission but also the WBC. The WBC allowed Valdez to keep their

Once Oscar Valdez failed a pre-fight VADA drug test for phentermine and was allowed to fight — and defend his WBC title — anyway, Friday’s ESPN+ main event with Robson Conceicao was always going to be shrouded in controversy. Fight night itself left us with some more, as there is plenty of debate as to

Franchon Crews-Dezurn is ready to take on Elin Cederroos and determine an undisputed super middleweight champion. She had to wait three months longer than expected, but her wait is almost over. On Tuesday, September 14th, Crews-Dezurn (7-1, 2 KO) will put her WBC and WBO belts on the line against WBA and IBF champion Elin

Scott Christ (46-14) Nakatani has some real star potential as a young flyweight titlist and top fighter at the weight, and I love this matchup, this could be fun. Acosta went the distance for the first time in his pro career last time out, going a full eight with Gilberto Mendoza in March. If it

Triller’s Saturday show has lost yet another bit of star power. Dan Rafael reports that Jim Lampley, who signed a “multi-fight deal” with the promotion in June, has withdrawn from his lead commentator role. Lampley himself has not released a statement on the reason for his exit. It’s unclear at the moment whether co-commentator Shawn

Tyson Fury sat down with BT Sport on Wednesday for a 15-minute interview ahead of his October 9 trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder, and laid out in pretty torrid fashion his plans for his next five fights — after which he plans another brief retirement. “I’m going to destroy Wilder in (October), and then I’m

Oscar De La Hoya won’t be fighting Saturday as planned, as he was pulled from the fight just eight days out, saying he’d come down with COVID, and has been replaced by Evander Holyfield against Vitor Belfort, with the event moving from California to Florida.

Amidst the fallout of Oscar Valdez testing positive for banned substance phentermine, despite him still being allowed to defend his WBC world title against Robson Conceicao, Valdez talks with ESPN’s Mark Kriegel about how he tested dirty and why he still considers himself a clean fighter. Valdez on how he tested positive for banned diuretic

By now the world has heard the news that Oscar De La Hoya’s comeback fight (set to take place against Vitor Belfort) will not be happening as scheduled after De La Hoya reportedly caught COVID and couldn’t continue with the fight. And while it appears that Evander Holyfield will be taking De La Hoya’s place

This week lost one of its best fights when WBC light flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji tested positive for COVID, scrapping a September 10th defense against dangerous puncher Masamichi Yabuki. Luckily, it seems the case was mild, as BoxingNews.jp reports that the bout is back on for September 22nd after Teraji “went through detailed examinations” and

In a conversation with Fight Hype, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn gives some of his reaction to the latest YouTuber fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley. In Hearn’s estimation the in-the-ring product Paul has been putting on is starting to fall a little flat and he thinks Paul should just look to cash in against

Maxi Hughes’ impressive career resurgence has netted him some serious promotional muscle, as he’s signed a multi-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing after his latest victory. Matchroom have provided so many opportunities for fighters, past and present, and to know those opportunities will be heading my way is all I could ask for,” said Hughes. “The
