The career of Robert Helenius began floundering in 2016. As one of the sport’s hottest young prospects, the Swedish native was left unaware of his surroundings in the sixth round against Johann Duhaupas. Although he would go on to reel off three consecutive victories, Dillian Whyte pushed him further down boxing’s totem pole in 2017.

Jessica McCaskill will take the rare step of dropping down in weight to enhance her pound-for-pound credentials.

Jose Zepeda and Regis Prograis are prepared to collide for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title. Their handlers, however, weren’t as prepared to close a deal for the ordered fight.

Count James Toney amongst a long list of rabid boxing fans and media members that are salivating over the thought of a showdown between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.

In the remarkable tale that is the life and career of Andy Ruiz Jr., there has always existed one constant—a gravitational pull from outside sources working to prevent him from capitalizing on his gifts inside the ring.  The former heavyweight champion Ruiz will return to the ring this weekend against Luis Ortiz, breaking a second-straight

The undisputed heavyweight championship could benefit from a marketing boost by being scheduled close to the biggest annual sporting event in America.

Dmitriy Salita, promoter for heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, is beating the drum for his boxer to face former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua.

The somewhat bovine pace in which Jared Anderson’s career is currently going, appears to suit him just fine.

In front of what’s expected to be a fairly jam-packed crowd

On Friday in Belgrade, former unified cruiserweight world champion Murat Gassiev took part in his third heavyweight contest and won the Eurasian Boxing Parliament (EPB) title with a first round destruction of American contender Carlouse Welch.

Sergey Lipinets left the ring in April 2021 beyond impressed by Jaron Ennis. The former IBF junior welterweight champion knew he would face a fast, intelligent, strong opponent, but Ennis was even better than he realized.
