After scoring a massive upset of Jono Carroll, Yorkshire’s Maxi Hughes has joined forces with MTK Global, who are “confident” that the 30-year-old “can continue to produce stellar performances and achieve big things.” Prior to his most recent match, Hughes (21-5-2, 4 KO) was what you might call a “been in there with” fighter, one

If anyone’s curious how Adrien Broner’s been doing since losing to Manny Pacquiao last year, the answer is “poorly.” After being arrested for drunk driving back in March, the former champ was sentenced to seven days in jail yesterday for violating his probation. Said probation actually dates back to his 2018 arrest for “gross sexual
Dillian Whyte may have suffered a disastrous loss to Alexander Povetkin this past weekend, when he seemingly had the fight in hand and a clear path to a mandatory WBC title shot on deck, but he says he’s still raring to go for the rematch. Whyte tells Sky Sports the loss has not really hurt
Tim Tszyu was too young, too big, too strong, too fresh, and too sharp for former welterweight titleholder Jeff Horn today in Australia, dominating the fight from start to finish, and the finish came after the end of eight rounds, when Horn’s corner stopped the one-sided beating. The 32-year-old Horn (20-3-1, 13 KO) seemed to

Dillian Whyte’s loss this past weekend has conveniently removed a major hurdle for what would be an undisputed heavyweight title unification between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Whyte, who had been due a mandatory shot at Fury’s title by February 2021, is no longer in line for that fight. And while Whyte had previously suggested
Josh Taylor’s IBF mandatory defense against Apinun Khongsong, first scheduled for May 2nd before getting wrecked by the ‘rona, will now officially take place on September 26th at the BT Sport Studio in London. The fight, first ordered after Taylor’s (16-0, 12 KO) successful unification match with Regis Prograis, went through something of a strange
Yoan Pablo Hernandez’s comeback wasn’t quite as successful as Sergio Martinez’s. The former cruiserweight champ, fighting for the first time since 2014, was thoroughly demolished by Kevin Johnson this past Saturday in Magdeburg, Germany. Johnson (35-17-1, 19 KO) entered the fight in the midst of a five-fight losing streak and with just one win in
Katie Taylor retained her undisputed lightweight title on Saturday, beating Delfine Persoon in a rematch of their 2019 battle. It was a more convincing if still incredibly competitive fight this time around, and far less controversial, with even Persoon this time respectfully conceding defeat. Taylor felt she boxed better than she did in their first
“It’s one of those things, it just landed,” Dillian Whyte was overheard saying as the dust settled on the finale of Matchroom’s Fight Camp series.

The boxing comeback of 47-year-old Hall of Famer Oscar De La Hoya has been a big topic of discussion in the sport lately, so after a UFC show, Oscar’s media rival Dana White was asked about the news, which was clearly meant to set White up to say something petty or controversial. He delivered. “Cocaine
