By: Sean Crose It appears Floyd Schofield won’t get a chance to best the man he once looked up to. The 18-0 Schofield was set to face 22-0 Shakur Stevenson, a fighter he once idolized, this Saturday in Saudi Arabia. A scheduled 12 rounder for Stevenson’s WBC lightweight title is still likely to go on,

By: Sean Crose Things did not go well for Bronx native George Arias when he took on fellow up and coming heavyweight Jared Anderson back in 2023. Rather than go in behind a sharp jab like a young Mike Tyson (who he had been compared to) would have, Arias opted to fight from distance against

By: Sean Crose Junior lightweight Oscar Duarte was supposed to be facing former world titlist Regis Prograis on Saturday. Yet an injury led to Prograis having to step away. The 28-2-1 Duarte then ended up scheduled to fight the 31-3 Miguel Madueno in a scheduled 12 rounder at California’s Honda Center. The bout was the

By: Sean Crose Keyshawn Davis took on Denys Berinchyk for the WBO lightweight title in New York on Friday night. The scheduled 12 rounder was broadcast live as the main event of an ESPN/Top Rank card. Davis was fighting in his first world championship event. The first two rounds were sloppy affairs replete with holding

By: Sean Crose Although “Bomac” McIntyre has achieved plenty during his years as the head trainer of pound for pound great Terence Crawford, the man has another fighter in his stable that he feels is ready to achieve greatness…Avious Griffin, who will be highlighting Boxing Insider’s next card (going down the 20th at Sony Hall

By: Sean Crose Oleksandr Usyk has certainly had quite a career for himself. It’s not every day that a fighter becomes an undisputed champion of not one, but two separate weight divisions. It’s even less likely that those divisions would be the heavyweight and cruiserweight realms respectively. Yet in the past decade Usyk has found

By: Sean Crose In what is likely a surprise to no one, Top Rank Promotions and ESPN are reportedly going their separate ways when their partnership legally wraps up this summer. While ESPN certainly put some terrific matches out there, Top Rank seemed to be pushed aside by UFC. In a world where boxing is

By: Sean Crose William Scull is not nearly as famous as Jake Paul. Nor is he as famous as Terence Crawford. Or David Benavidez. Or Dmitry Bivol for that matter. In fact, Scull arguably isn’t famous at all, not even among fight fans. It doesn’t matter. None of the names mentioned above are going to

By: Sean Crose It’s long been seen as one of boxing’s true glamor divisions – and with good reason. For Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marlon Starling and seemingly countless other greats have risen to master the welterweight realm. Now 31 year old Tennessee native Avious Griffin is looking to

By: Sean Crose “Don’t mess with the lion,” Saudi sports honcho Turki Alalshikh posted to social media on Thursday. “4 fights for Canelo with Riyadh Season…The Deal is done…A Lion doesn’t lose sleep over opinion of a sheep…Fear the lion not the jungle.” Canelo Alvarez responded to this with three small words: “Let’s go brother.”

By: Sean Crose It really is a shallow world we live in. At least that seems to be the case at times. And now is one of those times. Immediately after it was reported that a hoped for battle between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez had fallen through, word that Canelo would likely fight Jake

By: Sean Crose It was fun while it lasted. The Ring Magazine reported on Wednesday that the agreed to fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is off. This just days after it was reported across the internet that the fight had become a reality. The lesson, once again, is that boxing is a sport

By: Sean Crose Things seem to be changing for the better. Not all that long ago, well regarded fighters who suffered a single defeat were taken to the online woodshed where they would be charged with being hype jobs who had been “exposed’ by their victorious opponents. That no longer seems to be the case.

 Today the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame (ACBHOF) unveiled the twenty (20) honorees chosen for induction into its Hall of Fame.

Boxing Insider Promotions brings club boxing back to NYC again on Thursday Night Feb 20th at Sony Hall in Times Square and will be streamed live on videos.BoxingInsider.com and international on DAZN.  The 10-round, featured fight pits one of boxing’s best kept secrets, Tennessee welterweight Avious Griffin (16-0, 15 KOs) versus Jose Luis “Guerro” Sanchez

By: Sean Crose Ring Magazine reports that a hoped for dream fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is about to become a reality. The bout is said to be going down in Las Vegas as a Riyadh Season event in September. Not all that long ago, the bout was considered nothing more than a

By: Sean Crose IIt all seemed to have gone beyond pre fight hype. Light heavyweight power houses David Benavidez, 29-0, and David Morrell, 11-0, truly seemed to not like each other. Perhaps it was a simple clash of personalities. Or maybe their scheduled Saturday night pay per view main event had too much on the

By: Sean Crose It’s the first major fight of the year: power punching light heavyweights David Morrell and David Benavidez will be squaring off tomorrow night in Las Vegas as the main event of a pay per view card. Although a minor title will be on the line, what’s really at stake here is the
