By: Sean Crose TJ Doheny may well have been the first fighter to give pound for pound superstar Naoya Inoue a challenge in the ring since Nonito Donaire put Inoue on the mat in their extraordinary first battle back in 2019.

By: Sean Crose Erislandy Lara is known as “The American Dream” for a reason. Coming to the United States from oppressive Cuba, the lean and skilled Lara has proven himself to be one of the top practitioners in the sport for at least the last ten years. Now, at forty-one years of age, the veteran
