LIAM PARO is on a mission to become the king of the super-lightweight division, no matter who gets in his way. The IBF champion turned in one of the best performances of 2024 to defeat knockout artist Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico in June. Five months on and the Australian is four weeks away from
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) promised to put on a definitive performance that included a knockout of Karen Chukhadzhian (24-3, 13 KOs) in tonight’s rematch, but that’s not at all the way things played out. Unlike the first meeting between the two, where Chukhadzhian fought a negative, keep-away style, Chukhadzhian came to fight and
The rematch nobody asked for served as little more than a reminder of why nobody asked for it. A little under two years after Jaron “Boots” Ennis shut out Karen Chukhadzhian over 12 dreary, frustrating rounds in Washington, D.C., he repeated the feat in his hometown of Philadelphia, and the same adjectives applied. The differences
By: Sean Crose IBF welterweight kingpin Jaron “Boots” Ennis defended his crown Saturday night in a rematch against Karen Chukhadzhian, who he had previously defeated. Although Ennis was clearly the favorite walking in, Chukhadzhian was his mandatory opponent. Therefore, Ennis took on the Ukrainian contender in his hometown of Philadelphia. Being a defending champion has
by Keith Idec PHILADELPHIA – Jaron Ennis entertained his hometown fans at times Saturday night, yet he didn’t necessarily produce a more complete performance against an opponent he dominated 22 months earlier. The IBF welterweight champion knocked Ukraine’s Karen Chukhadzhian to the canvas in the fifth round, but they went the distance again in their
Osleys Iglesias didn’t stumble at all under the main event spotlight, staying undefeated with a fifth round stoppage of Petro Ivanov in Montreal. It was a relatively long night of work for Iglesias, who took longer to close the show against the relatively unknown Ivanov than he did earlier this year against Sena Agbeko, Evgeny
Undefeated lightweight Abdullah Mason is quickly becoming a name to watch in boxing. Known for his bold “appetite for smoke” slogan and his reputation as a show stealer on undercards, Mason now has another goal in his sights: 2024 Prospect of the Year. On Friday, Cleveland’s 20-year-old Mason delivered one of the year’s most thrilling

They say every champion was once a beginner who refused to quit, and for Elijah Lugo, that cliche couldn’t be more true. Lugo’s path to gold at the World Boxing U19 Championships in Colorado last weekend in the 80kg division didn’t start with a roar but with a stumble – and then another, and another.
Size didn’t matter. Not Friday night in the world of boxing, it didn’t. Although Gustavo Lemos showed up heavy to face rising star Keyshawn Davis, the popular Davis turned him into a human punching bag, regardless. After working to avoid the shots of an aggressive Lemos in the first, Davis dropped his man courtesy of a

BOXING for the first time without the IBF super-lightweight title strapped around his waist, Subriel Matias’ rebuilding job begins tonight in the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon. Matias’ title defence in June against Liam Paro was supposed to signal a glorious homecoming on the way to unification matches. Instead, Matias is now headlining in a non-title
The “Two Kings,” as they’re being called, avoided being dethroned by the scales on Friday, and so Saturday’s show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia featuring Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez in separate title fights will go on. Hometown headliner and welterweight titleholder Ennis, 32-0 (29 KOs), of Philadelphia, came in a
By: Sean Crose “I know that this is a very dangerous fight,” says WBC flyweight titlist Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (via DAZN). “It’s a huge opportunity for him, probably the biggest of his career, so he’ll be hungrier than ever to take what I have. But I don’t see anyone beating me, I’m on a different
Keyshawn Davis made an extraordinary case for a title shot in Norfolk tonight, torching an overweight Gustavo Lemos in under two rounds. Argentina’s Lemos (29-1, 19 KO) got robbed of a win over Richardson Hitchins earlier this year and entered the ring at a staggering 155 pounds after missing the lightweight limit by 6.4 pounds
by Keith Idec KEYSHAWN DAVIS delivered the most impressive message of his three-year professional career Friday night. The undefeated lightweight contender destroyed strong Argentinean Gustavo Lemos in Davis’ debut in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. Davis dropped Lemos three times in the second round of their scheduled 10-round main event and knocked out his wildly
Junior welterweight Ernesto “Tito” Mercado’s Matchroom Boxing debut has been halted before it began. The 23-year-old Mercado, 16-0 (15 KOs), from Pomona, California, was set to make his fourth appearance of 2024 – and his first since signing with Matchroom Boxing. However, plans unraveled when his opponent, Jesus Saracho, weighed in an astonishing 7lbs over
