Luke Campbell came up short in another big fight on Saturday, knocked out in the seventh round by Ryan Garcia in an interim WBC lightweight title fight.

As we wave goodbye to an extraordinary and difficult year, the Bad Left Hook staffers have revealed their picks for the 2020 awards. Scott Christ, Wil Esco, Patrick Stumberg and myself were given a free rein over five key categories, with the award going to the majority vote. FIGHTER OF THE YEAR: Teofimo Lopez This

Sorry, Eddie. It’s looking increasingly likely that Gennadiy Golovkin’s next title defense will see him take on former super welterweight champ Jaime Munguia. Zanfer’s Fernando Beltran told ESPN yesterday that the fight, which is currently in the negotiation stage, was “very possible,” while Oscar De La Hoya calls the talks “promising.” I’m just going to

The strong tradition of New Year’s Eve boxing in Japan continued in 2020, with a fantastic main event that saw Kazuto Ioka stop Kosei Tanaka in the eighth round to retain the WBO 115-pound title. Ioka (26-2, 15 KO) became Japan’s first-ever four-division titlist when he won the then-vacant WBO junior bantamweight belt in 2019,

It’s that time of year again. With boxing pretty much wrapped up for the year it’s time to decide on the year’s best. 2020 was an awfully atrocious year for a lot of reasons — the pandemic obviously leading the way — but let’s check out some of the ballot via RingTV and have some

Pray you never have reason to hate something as ferociously as the universe hates Artur Beterbiev. The unified light heavyweight champ’s January 30th title defense against Adam Deines is off after Beterbiev tested positive for COVID. Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KO), whose career has been thoroughly plagued with inactivity, hasn’t seen action since overpowering Oleksandr Gvozdyk

Not to be too controversial, but I’d personally say that 2020 was a pretty weird year, and I don’t just mean in boxing, but, y’know, overall. Not to get too wild here, but it was a little different, in my opinion! Kinda unique. Had some negative aspects to it. Boxing faced a lot of challenges

Fresh off of his Dec. 19 win over Callum Smith, Canelo Alvarez doesn’t appear to be looking to waste much time, as he’s reportedly planning a Feb. 27 return in Guadalajara, Mexico, against WBC mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim.
