For the most part, fans weren’t too invested in the contractual status of Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford. After waiting years for the two pound-for-pound stars to get it on, most were simply happy that their longtime rivalry was finally coming to an end.

CHRIS BILLAM-SMITH has given Boxing News one reason why a rematch with Lawrence Okolie is yet to be signed off.

Revenge is on the cards this weekend in London as Joe Joyce looks to even the slate over “Big Bang” Zhilei Zhang. Zhang stopped the “Juggernaut” in its tracks in April via sixth-round TKO and this result has pumped value into the pre-fight favourite back in spring, Joyce. Joyce comes into value at 11/10 It’s
IN a desperately disappointing year at heavyweight a 40-year-old Chinese southpaw and a 38-year-old “Juggernaut” have at least proved that competitive match ups can be made in the division. On Saturday night (September 23) in London Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce will face each other for the second time in five months. Their first fight
Despite the multitude of kudos 2023 has earned in boxing, the biggest caveat has come from the biggest men.
