David Benavidez Jr. cruised through his fights in 2023, scoring a sixth-round stoppage against Demetrius Andrade in November and a unanimous decision against Caleb Plant in March. The pair of performances left the boxing public clamoring for a fight against undisputed super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez even more.  Alvarez, however, has other ideas on who

Naoya Inoue will receive an offer to fight in Australia if he successfully defends his undisputed super bantamweight title against Luis Nery.  His stoppage of Stephen Fulton Jr in July 2023 has contributed to him becoming widely recognised as the world’s finest fighter, and the Australia-based No Limit Boxing hope to tempt him to fly

In a bold statement, undefeated WBA World Champion David Morrell Jr. (10-0, 9 KOs) has declared that rising star Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs), who is fresh off his sixth-round knockout over Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs), is nowhere near his level and that he would dispatch him in just one round if given the

Oscar De La Hoya is not optimistic that boxing fans will get to see Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight Jaime Munguia in May. De La Hoya was recently in New York City promoting a bout between WBC junior welterweight champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia, set for April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New

Cast your mind back to 2019. Local heroes Anthony Crolla and Scott Quigg are both reaching the end of their outstanding careers and Manchester boxing is waiting for the next young fighter to pick up the baton and run with it.  There was never an official poll taken, but it is possible that the majority

Devin Haney is excited to make his Barclays Center debut on April 20 against Ryan Garcia, in what will be Haney’s first defense of his WBC world super-lightweight title. The location of the fight, however, is a point of contention for Garcia. Last week he posted on the social media platform X that he would
