Shakur Stevenson returns to action tonight to face Robson Conceicao in an ESPN main event from Newark, N.J., but the fight has admittedly lost some luster as of yesterday. Stevenson missed weight on Friday, so the WBC and WBO junior lightweight titles are on the line for Conceicao only. All the same, we’ll be here,

As Joseph Parker prepares for this weekend’s heavyweight fight against Joy Joyce at Manchester Arena, his promoter David Higgins openly points to his worries about how the scoring could go in this fight, particularly considering that Parker has been on the receiving end of what Higgins deems ‘terrible officiating.’ “It was outrageous,” Higgins said. “We’re

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum chats with Fight Hype about the future of Shakur Stevenson as he heads into this weekend’s fight, before taking questions about the much talked about fight between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Ryan Garcia.

Shakur Stevenson is set to defend his WBC and WBO junior lightweight titles in a Friday night main event on ESPN, where he’ll face Robson Conceicao. The two met up for today’s final presser, and their stare down photo op got just a little bit heated, with plenty of talking between the two of them

It may not be completely official just yet, but with all signs pointing towards an undisputed welterweight showdown between Errol Spence and Terence Crawford we might as well start getting some thoughts from boxing insiders. Here we’ll start with rising prospect Keyshawn Davis, who has shown to be a pretty damn good fight analyst. So

After a last-second postponement due to the UK’s insistence on forcing everyone to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth whether they wanted to or not, the all-women Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall/Mikaela Mayer vs Alycia Baumgardner doubleheader has officially been rescheduled for October 15th at London’s O2 Arena.
