Leon Willings recovered from a first-round knockdown to take the exciting Ben Whittaker the eight-round distance at London’s O2 Arena. On the occasion of the 26-year-old Whittaker’s seventh professional contest, Willings, 23, showed admirable resilience to perhaps even give him his toughest fight. That Whittaker, fighting for the first time since his separation from the
Chris Kongo secured the finest victory of his career with perhaps his finest performance when he was awarded a unanimous decision at the conclusion of 10 entertaining rounds with Florian Marku at The O2 Arena in London.

No Limit Boxing promoter George Rose spoke of his pride in watching Tim Tszyu, his star fighter, battle the odds against Sebastian Fundora. Tszyu lost a narrow split decision Saturday in Las Vegas after being cut terribly on the top of his head at the end of the second round – and then boxing the
Frazer Clarke targeted a rematch with Fabio Wardley after blaming himself for the fact his rival retained the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles at the conclusion of their entertaining draw.

Posted on 03/26/2024 By: Sean Crose And so it seems Tyson Fury is taking his May 18th undisputed heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk seriously. The truth is that, brilliant though he can be, WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Fury is an enigma, a top fighter who always seems to keep the public guessing. While
Posted on 03/27/2024 By: Sean Crose You don’t have be a part of the live, in-person audience to hear the punches thud as they land on his opponents. The sound travels clear across broadcast technology, the drumming of leather hitting flesh with great power and a great speed, concussing, damaging, ruthless. The sound can be
Posted on 03/28/2024 By: Sean Crose The first thing that strikes you about the man is his height. At over six and a half inches tall, he’d fit right in with a room full of heavyweights. Sebastian Fundora is no heavyweight, however. In fact, he’ll be fighting for numerous junior middleweight titles this weekend when
Posted on 03/29/2024 By: Sean Crose “His bark is far stronger than his bite,” Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz said of his opponent this weekend in Las Vegas, the always showy WBA lightweight titlist Rolando “Rolly” Ramiro. Sure enough, things have been tense in the leadup to Saturday’s co-main event on the Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora pay per
Posted on 03/30/2024 By: Sean Crose Oscar Valdez is now the WBO interim super featherweight champion of the world. For, last night in Glendale, Arizona, the 33 year old simply got the better of the 28 year old Liam Wilson in a competitive fight. Wilson, 13-2, looked sharp in the first, but the 31-2, Valdez
Posted on 03/30/2024 By: Sean Crose Find out why professionals are using BoxBandz Both men had given hard hitting star Gervonta Davis a fight. And, although both fighters came up short against the man named “Tank,” there was no doubt that Isaac Cruz, 25-2-1, and Rolando Romero, 15-1, had subsequently moved on from defeat successfully. For,
Posted on 03/30/2024 By: Sean Crose It was supposed to be different. Keith Thurman, not Sebastian Fundora, was supposed to be facing undefeated world titlist Tim Tszyu Saturday night in Las Vegas. Thurman, however, got hurt in training, and the 20-1-1 Fundora took the call. And so the six and a half inch Californian made
Dalton Smith kept his unbeaten record with a nasty fifth round knockout win over veteran Jose Zepeda, finishing the former world title challenger with a body shot in Sheffield, England. Smith (16-0, 12 KO) started tentative in the opening round especially, and somewhat into the second, but “slow” starts are nothing new for the 27-year-old
Wednesday, March 27 ProBox TV and Freevee, 8:00 pm ET, Joseph Adorno vs Nicholas Walters Yes, that Nicholas Walters. The one who disappeared after getting demoralized by Vasiliy Lomachenko in 2016. He returned in early 2023 and had two fights last year in Colombia, weighing 140-148. You’ll recall he was a 126/130 fighter in his
Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang will likely be the headline fight of the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5 vs 5 competition on June 1 in Saudi Arabia, with promoters and Saudi organizer Turki Alalshikh choosing the divisions for the fights today.

Golden Boy Promotions is reportedly gearing up for an absolute crapshoot on April 27th, as Mike Coppinger reports that Jose Ramirez vs Rances Barthelemy will headline a Fresno show on DAZN alongside Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Thomas Dulorme. There was clearly something in the water the night Ramirez (28-1, 18 KO) fell to Josh Taylor,
Following in the footsteps of WBC featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster’s dramatic finish of Rocky Hernandez, newly crowned mandatory challenger Masanori Rikiishi shocked hometown favorite Michael Magnesi with a final-round onslaught in last Friday’s eliminator. Full fight footage is sadly as a premium; this incredibly jank recording was all I could find (EDIT: saad1000, a better
As Scott pointed out in this week’s fight schedule, next Sunday’s DAZN show in Nagoya has taken a beating since last month’s announcement. The eight-man middleweight Prizefighter tourney is off, Tomoki Kameda lost his original opponent when Lerato Dlamini ditched him to fight Arnold Khegai in a final eliminator, and now the co-main is off
