Posted on 10/12/2023 By: Sean Crose Things have most distinctly not gone as planned for Tim Tszyu.

DESPITE their best efforts to have the result overturned or, at worst, a rematch ordered, Daniel Dubois and his promoter, Frank Warren, have ultimately failed in their bid to have the World Boxing Association (WBA) change their mind regarding an incident which occurred during round five of Dubois’ August 26 heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr
The WBO’s Congress in the Dominican Republic is underway and the news is flowing.

This was the type of fight that drove Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez down in weight. The two-division and reigning WBO flyweight titlist accepted as risky a challenge for his first defense. San Antonio’s Rodriguez is set for a terrific unification bout versus IBF champ Sunny Edwards on December 16 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Posted on 10/10/2023 By: Sean Crose There’s a terrific card tonight at Times’ Square’s Sony Hall promoted by Boxing Insider.

Oct 12, 2023, 07:52 AM ET Open Extended Reactions On Saturday, Janibek Alimkhanuly has a chance to take over a division that used to be one of the best in boxing.

As Brian Mendoza gears up for his junior middleweight title fight with Tim Tszyu, he speaks to media members about this opportunity and wanting to make the most of it. Mendoza has full confidence in his own ability and power, and thinks he’s an even better puncher than Tszyu. Check out some of what he
THE fight between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington highlighted how wonderful boxing is when contests are well-matched. It’s a simple premise, albeit one too frequently ignored by promoters, broadcasters, managers and even the boxers themselves. The carrot of a ‘world title’, in this case the WBA featherweight strap, was undeniably a crucial tool in getting
MOST people would not consider getting punched in the face by Sonny Liston as an education. But that was the case for 20-year-old Joe Bugner in the tiny Bufano’s Gym and Pool Hall in Jersey City back in June 1970. About 40 people crowded into the gym to watch Liston spar two rounds apiece with

Today’s press conference for KSI vs Tommy Fury had its share of theatrics highlighted by an altercation between KSI and John Fury.

The super welterweight division is a bit thin in terms of top-tier talent on the championship level. It isn’t the glamor weight class that it once was, but Tim Tszyu has a few options, emphasis on the word few. This Saturday night, the 28-year-old will be taking on one of those contenders when he faces

Despite last year’s utter debacle that saw Eddie Hearn publicly embarrass himself with desperate attempts to keep Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn intact, Matchroom’s boss has been eager to put the fight back together. We could see it sooner than expected, as the Mail Sport (apologies) reports that Eubank and Benn have a deal
Andy Ruiz Jr.’s apparent intransigence at the negotiating table makes him a nonstarter for a fight with Zhilei Zhang, according to one of Zhang’s representatives.
