By Elliot Worsell SOME like to be noticed. Others don’t. The best, we’re told, are the latter kind, the ones who shy away from attention, but sometimes being noticed isn’t necessarily by design.

By Winston Allen I ALWAYS had that ‘dig’. It’s a gift. Genetic power in my shoulders. Growing up, I was a nature boy, always climbing trees.

Shortly after Ryan Garcia scored a stoppage win against Oscar Duarte on Dec. 2, he called out 140-pound WBA beltholder Rolando Romero during his post-fight interview in the ring. Days passed, and Garcia ultimately passed on “Rolly” and refocused his energy on the recently crowned WBC titlist Devin Haney. Garcia took to social media on
By Elliot Worsell BACK in September 2001, Donald Trump repeatedly tapped the shoulder of Naazim Richardson inside a Madison Square Garden dressing room and, to his dismay, found his advances rebuffed. It was unusual for Trump, a notorious grabber, to be blanked, to not get what he wanted, but Richardson, otherwise engaged, wasn’t in the
Some in boxing circles called Zhilei Zhang’s win over Joe Joyce a straight-up fluke. But after running things back and icing him once more, Zhang (26-1-1, 21 KOs) has made a believer out of practically everyone. The now 40-year-old is sitting back and weighing his options. In the process of doing so, he decided to

ZACH PARKER is targeting a move to light-heavyweight in 2024, a division in which he was close to signing for a huge opportunity on the December 23 card in Saudi Arabia. “I got offered the [Dmitry] Bivol fight but they went with Lyndon Arthur,” Parker told Boxing News. “It was literally going through my lawyers,
The business of boxing outside the ring in the United States remains as in flux as it has been for most of recent history. Decades of stability by way of free network coverage gave way to decades of premium cable stability with ESPN and HBO. ESPN has been in and out of boxing since it
Filip Hrgovic had already done enough to earn a shot at the IBF world title. But, just because you’re entitled to a shot at the crown, it doesn’t mean you’ll get what you deserve. Normally, Hrgovic’s best weapon in the ring is his left hook, it might still be. This time around, however, he tied

Inside the word glove, meanwhile, you will find the word love, byproducts of which include safety, security and protection. Protection: a boxing glove is designed to protect
Andy Ruiz was apparently thrilled to see Deontay Wilder suffer a colossal upset last Saturday night.

For the last few years, some have called Anthony Joshua a shell of his former self, a lost soul, someone who simply didn’t have it anymore. One performance, however, just changed everything. After a string of losses and a few lackluster showings, Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) had the sort of violent outing that was seldom
It’s Tuesday Wednesday and that means it’s podcast day this week. It’s our last show of 2023! What a year it was. We laughed, we learned, we said a bunch of things that turned out to be wrong and some other things that were so right that it’s all you should remember. This week it’s
