It’s hard to tell if Montana Love is having a bad day or not. The 28-year-old, who’s normally accompanied by his pet dog, smiles everywhere he goes. Once the lights turn on and the bell rings, however, he often gives his opponents nothing to be happy about. This Saturday night, it was all about redemption for the super lightweight contender. ...
Regis Prograis laughed as Rolando “Rolly” Romero found himself in a hirsute situation. There’s no other way to put it, Ismael Barroso looked ancient as he made his way to the ring on May 13th earlier this year. Those who were watching believed the 40-year-old needed to be more focused on his retirement plans, not a world title run. However, ...
WBO cruiserweight world champion Chris Billam-Smith got a bit more than he bargained for in his TKO victory over veteran challenger Mateusz Masternak. The fight, which took place on Sunday in Bournemouth, saw Billam-Smith come from behind to stop Masternak in seven rounds. At the time of the stoppage, two of the official judges had Masternak up by five rounds. ...
SAN FRANCISCO – Regis Prograis knew Devin Haney was good. It wasn’t until round by befuddling round unfolded Saturday night, though, that Prograis realized Haney is that good. The former undisputed lightweight champion’s elusiveness, hand speed, jab and ring IQ puzzled Prograis throughout their 12-round, 140-pound title fight and rendered the New Orleans native a former champion again. The faster, ...
SAN FRANCISCO – Devin Haney felt so much better boxing at a higher weight Saturday night that it has already encouraged the former undisputed lightweight champion to move up seven more pounds.

SAN FRANCISCO – Devin Haney views a showdown with Gervonta Davis as the biggest fight in boxing. The newly crowned WBC super lightweight champion also realizes that it is much more likely that he could fight another rival Davis knocked out in 2024 than Davis himself. Haney called what would also be a lucrative fight against Ryan Garcia “a possibility” ...
Tim Bradley wasn’t surprised when Ryan Garcia came up short in his showdown against Gervonta Davis earlier this year. The Hall of Fame former fighter always believed Garcia was good but great?

Undefeated welterweight prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (13-0, 7 KOs) settled unfinished business in last night’s “Pandemonium at The Palladium 2” main event, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), at the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is training to make a huge statement when he faces fellow ex-beltholder Joseph Parker. The two fighters will collide in a high-stakes fight on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Wilder is fighting for the first time since October of 2022, when he blasted out Robert Helenius in a single round. That was the only ...
For large portions of Devin Haney’s dominant victory over Regis Prograis, DAZN commentators Sergio Mora and Shawn Porter, themselves former world champion boxers, outwardly praised Haney’s abilities. While the role of a color commentator most often includes making tactical suggestions towards either participant, on this night that would have been moot. Haney had it all figured out, and so long ...
