Nate Collins (Commonwealth featherweight champion) I would like to see Leigh Wood vs. Mick Conlan II in 2023. Their first fight was one of the best fights I have watched in a long time! I might be biased as a featherweight, but that’s the fight I would like to see again. Gervonta Davis and Shakur

1 Dmitry Bivol W UD 12 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez Even though we knew Bivol was good going into this fight, and even though there was always the risk of Alvarez one day biting off more than he could chew, that should take nothing away from the way in which Bivol outclassed and played with “Canelo”
1 Jordan Gill W KO 9 Karim Guerfi In a year featuring some of the most dramatic one-punch knockouts we have seen for some time, the number one spot ultimately goes to Jordan Gill and the right hand he pulled from nowhere to extinguish the attack of a buoyant Karim Guerfi in February. This shot,

Last week, the World Boxing Council generated plenty of headlines when the organization’s president, Mauricio Sulaiman, revealed that the WBC was planning to create a new category for transgender boxers. Sulaiman cautions that a new category does not necessarily mean that a new world title will be created. The goal, says Sulaiman, is to provide
Posted on 01/02/2023 By: Sean Crose When recently asked by Lance Pugmire for FightHype who was the best welterweight in the world, Errol Spence or Terence Crawford, Jaron “Boots” Ennis was ready with a bold answer: “I’m the best welterweight in the world,” he replied. The man may be right. Boasting a record of twenty-nine

The stars were seemingly aligned as Caleb Plant headed into his showdown against Canelo Alvarez in November of 2021. But while fame, fortune, and history awaited him, Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) would come up just short, losing a competitive bout via 11th-round stoppage. Viewed as a terrific all-around fighter, Plant refused to rest on his
We’re back! It’s a new year! And because it’s a new year, this week we’re going to go a little deeper than normal in the (usually) weekly rankings, with a quick 2023 outlook, and some names in every division to keep an eye on as potential top 10 gatecrashers in 2023 — some prospects and
1 Deontay Wilder Twelve months after he was stopped in brutal fashion by Tyson Fury, the heavy-handed Deontay Wilder returned to action in October of 2022 with plenty of questions marks hanging over him. He was, at 37, coming off not one stoppage defeat by Fury but two (the other took place in 2020) and

Posted on 01/01/2023 By: Sean Crose “It may not go down as an all time great light heavyweight battle,” I wrote after the fight. “This wasn’t Spinks-Qawi, or Greb-Tunney. What it was however was a fight that sent the world of boxing reeling.” Sure enough, WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol had just defeated the
