A visit to the gym where Katie Taylor trains in Connecticut in early 2018 said everything you needed to know about the undisputed lightweight champion.

Jamel Herring’s dominant performance against Carl Frampton didn’t exactly capture Shakur Stevenson’s attention.

Jamel Herring didn’t need to read the fight reports on Shakur Stevenson’s latest performance to form his opinion on the unbeaten former featherweight titlist.

Vitor Belfort was even quicker to call out Jake Paul on Saturday night than he was to vanquish Evander Holyfield.
