Posted on 06/17/2021 By: Hans Themistode Quietly, Erickson Lubin has put together quite the run. After suffering a first-round stoppage defeat at the hands of Jermell Charlo in October of 2017, Lubin has gone on to win five straight. In his most recent contest, the Florida native picked up a close unanimous decision win against

Posted on 06/16/2021 By: Hans Themistode Most of the boxing world believed that Billy Joe Saunders was in for a world of hurt when he took on Canelo Alvarez. The two faced off roughly one month ago at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Regardless of the consensus surrounding their showdown, WBC/Ring Magazine heavyweight titlist,

Posted on 06/16/2021 By: Sean Crose He had been fighting for years. Indeed, he was already something of a legend among boxing fans, a snarling, menacing whirlwind who had defeated such names as De Jesus and Buchanan, and who had until fairly recently been the dominant force in the lightweight division. Now, however, even those

Posted on 06/16/2021 By: Hans Themistode Jermell Charlo always dreamed of one day calling himself an undisputed world champion. What the unified super welterweight titlist didn’t know, however, was when and where it would happen. After locking up a date with WBO belt holder Brian Castano, for the final 154 pound title that he currently

Posted on 06/15/2021 By: Sean Crose Well, that was interesting. Things are almost guaranteed to get odd when WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder get within a hundred yards of each other. Perhaps no one, however, could have predicted exactly how strange Tuesday’s press conference to kick off the

Posted on 06/15/2021 By: Sean Crose “I just mean business,” Deontay Wilder told ESNEWS’ Elie Seckbach immediately after Tuesday’s press conference to kick off the promotion for his third fight with Tyson Fury. “I didn’t come here to fool around.” Appearing far more relaxed than he did at the official media event, Wilder went on

Posted on 06/15/2021 Mike Coppinger reports that lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez will not be fighting mandatory challenger George Kambosos on Saturday night as was scheduled, due to a positive Covid-19 test. The bout, which was set to go down in Miami, was supposed to be the headliner of a Triller pay per view card. Fortunately

Posted on 06/14/2021 By: Hans Themistode Jermall Charlo is currently watching the days slowly go by. This coming weekend, the WBC middleweight champion will put his belt and undefeated record on the line when he takes on the hard-hitting Juan Macias Montiel. The two are scheduled to face off in Charlo’s hometown of Houston Texas,

Posted on 06/14/2021 By: Hans Themistode The sport of boxing can be a bit confusing at times. Just a few weeks ago, Josh Taylor claimed every world title at 140 pounds by defeating former unified champion Jose Ramirez. The two battled it out at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada. Taylor would go on

Posted on 06/14/2021 By: Sean Crose “I’m going to favor Spence slightly,” Tim Bradley told SNOWQUEENLA, “but I wouldn’t be surprised if Pacquiao could pull it off.” Bradley knows better than most what it’s like to face Manny Pacquiao in the ring. He’s faced the man three times, winning once (albeit controversially) and losing twice.

Posted on 06/13/2021 By: Hans Themistode Keith Thurman is quietly sick and tired of Errol Spence Jr. The current unified welterweight champion has continued to receive a ton of praise for his recent run of big fights over the past few years. With wins over Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and Mikey Garcia – Spence Jr.

Posted on 06/13/2021 By: Sean Crose Although he never held a legitimate world title, heavyweight Alexander Povetkin cut out an impressive career for himself over the course of over fifteen years. With a record of 36 wins, 3 loses and 1 draw, the former Russian Olympian has decided to retire from the sport of boxing.

Posted on 06/13/2021 By: Hans Themistode Shakur Stevenson continued doing what he does best last night, winning lopsidedly. The former featherweight world champion made it look easy against fringe contender Jeremia Nakathila at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada. The win for Stevenson not only preserved his undefeated record, but it also solidified his

Posted on 06/13/2021 By: Hans Themistode No matter what was said about his chances going in, Jeremia Nakathila believed all he needed was one punch to get the job done. With that said, the South African native couldn’t find the shot he was looking for. At the Virgin Hotels, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Shakur Stevenson

Posted on 06/12/2021 By: Hans Themistode Some fans may find it surprising but not all professional boxers are full-time. Unfortunately for some, the bills simply pile up higher than their pugilistic paychecks can afford. For Jeremia Nakathila, it’s unclear if he has a second job for financial reasons or simply because he loves it but

Posted on 06/12/2021 By: Hans Themistode The fight was practically his, and then it wasn’t. For Yordenis Ugas, he believed that a showdown against unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. was next up on his fight calendar. In September of 2020, the Cuban native reeled off his third win in a row as he defeated

Posted on 06/12/2021 By: Hans Themistode Vasiliy Lomachenko is busy putting the final finishing touches on his training camp as he prepares to return to the ring against lightweight contender Masayoshi Nakatani on June 26th, at the Virgin Hotels, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
