Posted on 02/20/2021 By: Hans Themistode Whatever new game plan Dillian Whyte planned on utilizing against Alexander Povetkin will apparently have to wait.

Posted on 02/19/2021 By: Hans Themistode It isn’t exactly easy finding someone who’s nearly seven feet tall and really knows how to fight. Being wrapped up in a global pandemic doesn’t help either.

Posted on 02/18/2021 By: Hans Themistode Callum Smith won’t make any excuses. However, something just wasn’t right.

Just a few moments earlier, the former four-division champion was announcing to the world that he should have been given the victory against Manny Pacquaio instead of a lopsided decision loss.
Posted on 02/16/2021 By: Sean Crose “February 20 people are going to see that I’m still the Adrien Broner who can take over the sport,” four division titlist Adrien Broner says. Although he hasn’t had a meaningful win in years, Broner wants to show the world that he has what it takes to return to
Posted on 02/14/2021 By: Hans Themistode The dust on his gloves has built up considerably. And the worn down boxing shoes are now as clean as can be. With a second straight win over Sergey Kovalev roughly three and a half years ago, Ward was seemingly on top of the boxing world. There wasn’t a
