Savannah Marshall seemingly touched a nerve with Claressa Shields during their press conference Tuesday in London. Marshall needled Shields by repeatedly telling the undefeated three-division champion that she isn’t a draw in her home country. According to Marshall, Shields’ inability to sell a substantial number of tickets in the United States is the reason that

The road back to title contention will have to come in time for Jarrell Miller. A regular stream of ring activity, however, is well in the unbeaten heavyweight’s control—and very much in the cards. As previously reported by BoxingScene.com, Brooklyn’s Miller will appear as part of a July 23 show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The appearance

Mark Magsayo hopes he is wrong, but the unbeaten WBC featherweight champion expects that he’ll have to chase after Rey Vargas during their 12-round title fight Saturday night. Vargas’ history suggests that he won’t engage with a puncher like Magsayo, who will make the first defense of the 126-pound championship he won from Gary Russell

Claressa Shields scoffed at Savannah Marshall’s claim Tuesday that she has more heart than the self-proclaimed “GWOAT.” Shields dismissed Marshall during a conference call as a weight bully built up by beating smaller opponents who’ve taken fights against her on short notice. Marshall, the only boxer who has defeated Shields as an amateur or pro,

Don’t expect Jessica McCaskill to be in awe of some of the biggest and most talented names in women’s boxing. The undisputed welterweight champion from Chicago was recently asked to give her thoughts on a slew of top names and, suffice to say, she was something of a tough critic. Of seven-division titlist Amanda Serrano,

Professional boxing is back in Puerto Rico, with a card being staged by Miguel Cotto Promotions and H2 Entertainment, according to Giovanny Vega.  Both companies will present another chapter of Boxeo Al Máximo Internacional series on July 6, to be held this time at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar hotel in Río Grande.

Robert Garcia, the head trainer of WBC super flyweight champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, would still like to see his charge drop down a division to face some of the biggest names in the 112-pound weight class. Rodriguez, since practically moving up by two weight classes, has defeated two of the biggest names in his current

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis was flattered by the recent recognition he received from boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather, the five-division world champion and recent Hall of Fame inductee, made some remarks about Ennis a few months ago in which he praised the Philadelphia welterweight.

After taking two overhand rights flush on the chin at the end of the first round of his bout against Christian Hammer last Saturday, Joe Joyce had a knowing glance on his face. His eyebrows raised, his lips pursed, the facial pronunciation of “whew, okay.” In that moment, Joyce could have been thinking any of

   One of the sport’s good guys has made the media rounds for one of his worst days. Veteran ring Joe Antonacci was recently charged with assault and criminal defacement stemming from a springtime road rage incident in Elmhurst, Illinois, according to a report from Patch.com. Antonacci—a New Jersey native who now lives in the

NEW YORK–Johnathon Banks was not much interested in parroting what he feels are hackneyed talking points from the boxing media. The trainer of unified middleweight titlist Gennadiy Golovkin, Banks pushed against the notion that his charge might be in diminished form because of his relatively advanced age of 40 during an interview given at a

Mark Wilson, the head trainer of newly crowned world champion Jai Opetaia, had no idea his boxer’s jaw was broken for at least nine rounds in Saturday’s title fight with Mairis Briedis. Opetaia’s jaw was busted up in the second round, but Wilson didn’t realize his boxer was injured until the eleventh. “I didn’t know

Unbeaten lightweight prospect Mark Chamberlain extended his unbeaten record to 11 fights as he handed a sustained beating to Spain’s Marc Vidal over ten rounds on the Joyce-Hammer undercard at Wembley Arena. Vidal was rocked in the first round and in most rounds thereafter, as the fight became increasingly uncomfortable viewing. But as much as

All the talk from Anthony Joshua about the changes he has made ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk are seemingly of no interest to the Ukrainian, As they head to Saudi Arabia next month, Usyk is only thinking about himself.  Usyk had been the underdog when he took the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight
