Luis Palomino and Jim Alers came into tonight’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship main event at BKFC 14 with a grudge to settle, former training partners whose relationship reportedly turned sour, and in 44 seconds, it was settled. Palomino (3-0, 2 KO) crushed Alers (4-1, 3 KO) in short order, dropping the 34-year-old former UFC fighter

Following the final press conference for Terence Crawford vs Kell Brook, taking place tomorrow night on ESPN, Crawford chats it up with Fight Hype about what he took away from his final stare down with Brook. Check out some excerpts below. Crawford on his lengthy stare down with Brook: “He said he ready. I’m ready

He holds the WBC lightweight world championship, owns a 25-0 (15 KO) record, boasts the nickname “The Dream,” and, apparently, he believes he is the best 135-pound fighter on this and any planet. In a press release out Nov. 11, Devin Haney made the contention that he’s better than Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo

It’s no secret that there was a strained relationship between Canelo Alvarez and his Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya, but it was sort of surprising to see both sides abruptly part ways rather than go through a much more significant and prolonged legal battle. But speaking to RingTV about his stance on the

With welterweight titleholder Terence Crawford set to defend his strap against former titleholder Kell Brook this weekend on ESPN, both fighters made an appearance for what will be their last promotional press conference leading into the bout. “Here we are” Brook began. “I’ve been after this fight for a long time. I think every fighter

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez and Michael Hunter will be both returning to the ring on Dec. 19 in Texas, according to a post on Instagram from Ramirez’s promotional company: The 29-year-old Ramirez (40-0, 26 KO) hasn’t fought since an Apr. 2019 win over Tommy Karpency, which saw the Mexican southpaw move up to the light heavyweight

Good news for those bummed by Luke Campbell’s positive COVID test scrapping his December 5th meeting with Ryan Garcia. Oscar De La Hoya tells Mike Coppinger that the fight will “most likely” land just two weeks later on December 19th, as Campbell “was already 10 days into quarantine” when word came of the positive test.

This era of boxing, like most of them, has upsides and downsides to it. But the upside/downside dynamic which applies to a Terence Crawford is a sticky one. The separation of platforms and promotional firms can mean that a guy like a Crawford finds himself in a weight class where there isn’t as much action

Last weekend’s announcement of Canelo Alvarez’s free agency came with the side note that the Mexican superstar was pursuing a December 19th return against IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant. As further evidence that 2020 is a never-ending loop from which there is no escape, ESPN Deportes reports that WBA “super” champ Callum Smith and

Nobody in the universe expected Alexander Flores to put up much of a fight in his November 7th PBC main event against Luis Ortiz, but going down from “King Kong’s” third landed punch of the fight may have been a bit of an eyebrow-raiser. Mike Coppinger reports the California State Athletic Commission is withholding “The

Is Deontay Wilder coming apart at the seams? It would certainly appear so as the former heavyweight champion continues to throw out one excuse after another to explain away his knockout loss to Tyson Fury earlier this year. If the weighty costume and glove tampering excuses weren’t bad enough, Wilder has since been throwing his

Ring City USA’s run on NBCSN will continue through December and feature some touted super welterweight prospects in solid steps up. 100% finisher Serhii Bohachuk headlines a December 3rd card against veteran Brandon Adams, while former Olympian Charles Conwell fights fellow unbeaten Madiyar Ashkeyev two weeks later. The 25-year-old Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KO), who debuted

There is significant talk out there about a possible Dec. 19 pay-per-view fight between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant, which started with Canelo saying that’s the fight he wanted to do next when he was released from his deals with Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN last week. Usually in a case like this, where there’s

Devin Haney’s Saturday night WBC title defense against Yuriorkis Gamboa has received mixed reviews from fans and critics and those in boxing, too, including potential lightweight rival Gervonta “Tank” Davis, who was one of the first out of the gate to Tweet a reaction to Haney’s performance. Haney (25-0, 15 KO), if you missed it,

Wednesday, Nov. 11 ESPN+, 2:00 pm ET, Tursynbay Kulakhmet vs Macaulay McGowan. This MTK Global card was supposed to be led by a better main event between Lee McGregor and European bantamweight champ Karim Guerfi, but McGregor tested positive for COVID so that has to be rescheduled. Kulakhmet is a 26-year-old junior middleweight from Kazakhstan

It would be a lie to say that the boxing world was on the edge of its seat at any point on Saturday night, as Devin Haney cruised to a 12-round decision against an aged and over-matched Yuriorkis Gamboa to retain the WBC lightweight title. Haney-Gamboa was certainly no blockbuster event going in, wouldn’t really

Former featherweight titlist Shakur Stevenson Tweeted on Friday evening that he’s planning to be back in the ring on Saturday, Dec. 12, a date that Top Rank previously had reserved on ESPN for a Miguel Berchelt vs Oscar Valdez title fight at 130 pounds. With Berchelt out after testing positive for coronavirus, Stevenson has already

Tonight at 8 pm ET streaming live on DAZN, Devin Haney returns to defend the WBC lightweight title against Yuriorkis Gamboa in the main event from Hollywood, Florida, with a pair of heavyweight bouts and more prospects in action on the undercard.
