During a media interview with David Benavidez, he talks about his inability to really lure some big names into a fight against him next, namely Jermall Charlo and Caleb Plant, and then goes on to say he expects them to face each other next instead. Benavidez adds that while he may not be in line

You don’t often see a star prospect’s promoter go on television and tell the world that someone beat his fighter. But that’s exactly what happened last weekend after Raymond Ford won a controversial split decision over Edward Vazquez on the undercard of Cuadras-Rodriguez. Eddie Hearn, Ford’s promoter, said on the DAZN broadcast that he thought

Daniel Jacobs and John Ryder are set to headline this Saturday on DAZN, with Jacobs making his UK debut in what he sees as a “must-win” fight. “I’m looking forward to a good scrap,” said Jacobs. “He’s a good fighter from what I’ve seen. I know he’s in his hometown so I’m expecting him to

So much for that WBC tournament. The WBA has officially ordered unified super flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada to defend his “super” title against “world” champion Joshua Franco, giving the two sides until March 11th to come to terms. It’s a disappointing move, but one that makes sense. Estrada (42-3, 28 KO), who recently withdrew

Shawn Porter made a recent appearance on his podcast yesterday where he called fast-rising welterweight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis an overrated fighter, saying he needs to back up the hype around him with some notable wins in the welterweight division. “Boots is overrated,” Porter said on his podcast. “Boots is overrated and this is why I

AllStar Boxing announced today that Tony Yoka and Martin Bakole are once again scheduled to trade hands at Paris’ Accor Arena, this time on March 14th. The new date comes almost exactly four months after the original, January 15th, which fell through due to France limiting the venue’s maximum capacity as part of their anti-omicron

While there’s still no firm word on when unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr will be making his ring return, nor whom it’ll come against, Kambosos has thrown a douse of cold water on the prospects of a fight against WBC titleholder Devin Haney, announcing on Twitter that not even Haney’s own broadcaster (DAZN) is

The Filip Hrgovic IBF Eliminator Saga may finally be over. Dan Rafael reports that 13th-ranked Zhang Zhilei has accepted the call to face “El Animal” for a shot at the heavyweight title after 12th-ranked Demsey McKean declined. For those counting at home, that makes for a final total of four contenders that declined due to

Toledo’s WTOL 11 reports that former lightweight champion Robert Easter Jr. suffered three gunshot wounds while fleeing from an armed robber, who wound up taking “two gold chains, three diamond rings and Easter’s cell phone.” Easter underwent surgery “to remove bullet fragments,” though his father tells Golden Boy’s Ernie Gabion that there’s nothing “life threatening.”

Keith Thurman made a successful return to the ring tonight in Las Vegas, winning a deserved wide decision over Mario Barrios in the 12-round welterweight main event of the FOX PBC pay-per-view event. Thurman, 33, probably wasn’t quite at peak form, but that’s to be expected given he hadn’t fought in three years, and if

Keith Thurman is back in the welterweight title race, returning after nearly three years out of the ring with a solid win over Mario Barrios in tonight’s FOX PBC pay-per-view main event from Las Vegas. Thurman (30-1, 22 KO) took the win via unanimous decision, with the judges scoring it 117-111, 118-110, and 118-110. Bad

Chris Eubank Jr scored four knockdowns against Liam Williams in Cardiff, but the number of knockdowns and the official judges’ scores may make his win seem a bit more dominant than it really was. Judges had the fight 116-108, 116-109, and 117-109 for Eubank, which are all fair enough cards, but after a tremendously fast

Keith Thurman makes his return to the ring tonight, facing Mario Barrios in a FOX PBC pay-per-view main event from Las Vegas. Thurman hasn’t fought in nearly three years, and both he and Barrios are coming off of losses with a lot to prove in a welterweight division where one big win tonight by either

Whoever wins between Oscar Valdez and Shakur Stevenson on April 30th, odds are his next opponent will be decided here. O’Shaquie Foster is set to face Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov in a WBC super featherweight final eliminator on Probellum’s March 18th Sunny Edwards vs Muhammad Waseem card. Foster (18-2, 11 KO) hasn’t seen action since violently stopping
