By Elliot Worsell (Part I of The Intervention: Froch vs. Groves can be found here) Chapter III WHEN his eyes open again, two things happen: one, he turns to me and says, “It’s a bit more morbid than usual, isn’t it?” giving no indication as to whether he is talking about the atmosphere in the
LAS VEGAS – Ronnie Shields was beyond concerned.

1) Bad blood Although they have since made up and nowadays attend dinner shows together, and appear on podcasts, make no mistake about it: neither Froch nor Groves, chalk and cheese in terms of personalities, had a good word to say about the other for several years. 2) Perfect timing It would have been easy
By Elliot Worsell BEFORE Part I A waiting room in all but name, what the room waits for on fight night is context. That and a boxer. It is the boxer, in fact, who will provide the room with both its context and its story. It is they, the boxer, who will in time recall
The golden age of women’s boxing has had some easily identifiable stars. Amanda Serrano. Claressa Shields. Katie Taylor. The latter ran into a disruptor building a star of her own. In consecutive fights, undisputed junior welterweight world champion Chantelle Cameron (18-0, 8 KO) of the United Kingdom pulled off a hell of a feat. In
Posted on 11/22/2023 By: Sean Crose I was sitting ringside in between fights at a Connecticut Casino when I noticed he was next to me, speaking with one of the other reporters.

LAS VEGAS – David Benavidez is bothered by the fact that he didn’t get a stoppage in his highest-profile fight to date almost eight months ago.
