Taylor would go on

The win for Stevenson not only preserved his undefeated record, but it also solidified his

Posted on 06/13/2021 By: Hans Themistode The night started off a bit wacky. Former NBA star Lamar Odom and singer/songwriter Aaron Carter faced each other in a boxing ring in Atlantic City, New Jersey this past Friday night.

Posted on 06/10/2021 By: Hans Themistode Billy Joe Saunders has always been loquacious. Recently, however, the former two-division world champion has been abnormally quiet.

Posted on 06/11/2021 By: Hans Themistode Boxing, at least to a certain extent, had become both too easy and not rewarding enough.
