Issue • Premium • Reports Ed Mulholland/Matchroom Demetrius Andrade makes the statement he needs against Jason Quigley, reports Sean Nam THERE may not be a career more undistinguished, irrelevant, and reeking of desperation than that of Demetrius Andrade, and in boxing, a sport no stranger to mediocrity, that is saying something. Long criticized for playing

The unbeaten Azeez simply battered Burton, who never got to grips with Azeez low, aggressive come forward style. Burton, who was being cheered on at ringside by his cousin, Tyson Fury, held his
Posted on 11/20/2021 By: Sean Crose One of the more fascinating aspects of writing about the fight game is that you get to focus as much on fighters’ preparations as you do the action in the ring. It was interesting, for instance, to have watched Floyd Mayweather work out while the smooth sounds of the
8:04 PM ET Mike CoppingerESPN Jessie Vargas and Liam Smith have agreed to terms for a 154-pound fight on Jan. 28 or Jan. 29 in Las Vegas that will headline Matchroom Boxing on DAZN, multiple sources tell ESPN.

Following a pretty easy win for Demetrius Andrade over Jason Quigley tonight, Andrade’s promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing put out a passionate call for top names at 160 lbs to finally get in the ring and fight the WBO titleholder.

Posted on 11/19/2021 By: Hans Themistode There was something different about Demetrius Andrade. The WBO middleweight belt holder appeared surly when discussing his upcoming showdown against fringe contender Jason Quigley. Never known for his punching power, Andrade told all who would listen that he would score a concussive stoppage win. Quigley, however, merely smiled. After
