BLAME those stupid punch machines.

WBC champ Juan Francisco Estrada hasn’t seen action since heroically overpowering Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez in last December’s rubber match, but what’s cooking may be worth the wait.

MJ HALL stands on the stairs of Wolverhampton’s Hangar venue seconds after the fighter had dropped another four-round decision to yet another apprentice pro. He was in good humour and unmarked. “MJ – I flipping hate that name,” he confessed, then listened to BN’s request for an interview, laughed and announced: “I’m shit, I’m just
Jorge Linares isn’t the spry young fighter that he once was. At the age of 38, he’s seen better days.

The European Boxing Union (EBU) revealed today that top super lightweight prospect Adam Azim will make his first bid for meaningful hardware when he faces champion Franck Petitjean on November 18th in Wolverhampton. BOXXER has yet to reveal the show, so no word on the supporting cast. It’s a remarkably quick turnaround for Azim, who’s
Derrick James doesn’t understand why Jermell Charlo isn’t on every pound-for-pound list by now. Charlo’s hand injury has kept him out of the ring for the past 16 months, but he became boxing’s first fully unified 154-pound by knocking out Brian Castano in the 10th round of his last fight in May 2022. The 33-year-old

Shakur Stevenson proudly held his WBO and WBC titles. It was a culmination built on hard work and the old-fashioned phrase, blood, sweat, and tears. It seemed like the super featherweight division would have to deal with Stevenson for the foreseeable future. But, just when he was getting comfortable, poof, it was over. Stevenson’s time

THERE is nobody left to tell me how the selection for the 1972 Olympics ended up at the Double Diamond Club in Caerphilly. It makes very little sense, and what went on in the weeks and months before the 1972 team came together reads like a very dark comedy of endless errors. The survivors are few, the stories have
Yordenis Ugas took a 2 year absence from the boxing and returned in thunderous fashion. First he dominated the then undefeated Jamal James.
