Hollywood Fight Nights returns to the Chumash Casino Resort on February 23, headlined by a ten-round main event featuring undefeated Gor Yeritsyan, (17-0, 14 KOs), of Los Angeles, CA battling Quinton Randall, (13-1-1, 3 KOs), of Houston, TX for the vacant WBC Continental Americas welterweight title, broadcast globally on UFC Fight Pass. Said promoter Tom Loeffler, “We are very excited ...
Deontay Wilder believes Anthony Joshua, and his handlers, are equally to blame in the long delay to finalize a showdown between the two heavyweight stars. When the two big punchers were in possession of all the belts in their weight class, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement. This Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, Joshua and Wilder will ...
Promoter Eddie Hearn does not believe that it is in the interest of most prizefighters to plan their careers around a potential offer to fight in Saudi Arabia. The Oil Kingdom has lately emerged as a top destination for some of the biggest fights by brandishing incredible sums of money to promoters and their fighters. Under Turki Alalshikh, the head ...
Frank Warren, who leads the promotional charge of Saturday's 'Day of Reckoning' card in Saudi Arabia, has slammed the IBF's recent decision which forced cruiserweight Jai Opetaia to vacate his world title. Opetaia is scheduled to face Warren's fighter, unbeaten Ellis Zorro, as part of the big event. The IBF had previously given Opetaia an exception to make a voluntary ...
At this moment, heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder believes a long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua will certainly happen - and he says the only thing that can stop their fight is a loss, by either, on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia. Joshua will face Otto Wallin in the main event, with Wilder appearing in the co-main in a battle of former ...

Wallin will collide with Joshua on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Should Joshua win, there is a strong possibility that he faces Deontay Wilder in 2024. Wilder appears in the co-feature against fellow former-champ Joseph Parker. ...

His propensity for violence, however, often dissipates once the adrenaline is gone and things cool down. Outside the ring, Davis mostly keeps a low profile, despite being one of the most called-out ...
David Morrell Jr. wants to fight David Benavidez or Canelo Alvarez next. The unbeaten Cuban southpaw will settle, however, for the former super middleweight champion who has lost only to Alvarez and Benavidez. Facing Caleb Plant would at least present Morrell (10-0, 9 KOs) with an opportunity to prove himself against a top-five fighter within the 168-pound division, as opposed ...
Sunny Edwards was just as congratulatory in defeat as he was vocal prior to the biggest fight of his career. A highly anticipated IBF/WBO unification bout versus Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez saw the previously unbeaten Brit suffer a stoppage defeat after nine rounds. England’s Edwards was cut around both eyes, dropped late in round nine and kept on his stool prior ...
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has hit back at some of the recent statements that were made by former undisputed junior welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron. Last month in Dublin, Cameron was outboxed over ten rounds in her high-stakes rematch with Katie Taylor. Earlier this month, Cameron was critical of the officiating in the rematch - and she was also critical of ...
