Their fight will serve in supporting capacity to the Conor Benn-Peter Dobson DAZN headliner this Saturday from Chelsea Ballroom at The ...
Terence Crawford has pretty much done it all. From winning world titles in three separate divisions to becoming an undisputed champion at both 140 and 147 pounds, there isn’t much that the 36-year-old needs or wants to do. Retirement is right around the corner, Crawford admitted it. But just before he rips off his gloves for good, he's hoping for ...
Emanuel Navarrete will embark on a path to capture a major title in a fourth weight division.

Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Cromwell Gordon, otherwise known as Coach Bullet, were joined at the hip. They spent countless hours with one another in the gym and developed a close trainer/boxer relationship. Simply put, you wouldn’t see one without the other.

This past Saturday night in Quebec City, Smith (29-2, 21 KOs) sauntered to the ...
Conor Benn has gone through a lot lately, most of his own doing. Heading into his showdown against Chris Eubank Jr., Benn failed a pre-fight drug test. His subsequent suspension has been a strange one. While he’s been barred from fighting in the UK, Benn was eventually cleared to fight in the US. This coming weekend, he’ll continue to fight ...
Oscar De La Hoya isn’t nearly as interested in an all-Golden Boy versus Matchroom card as Eddie Hearn. The Golden Boy Promotions founder questioned Saturday night whether his rival’s company has enough depth on its roster to put together that type of show, even if DAZN executives were willing to provide the funding to stream it. Hearn spoke optimistically about ...

Oscar De La Hoya all but admitted late Saturday night that David Benavidez deserves to challenge Canelo Alvarez before any other super middleweight, Jaime Munguia included. Alvarez-Benavidez is the 168-pound fight fans seemingly most want to see. It doesn’t appear all that close to happening, however, even though Benavidez is a two-time WBC super middleweight champ, owns the WBC’s interim ...
Moving up and down in weight is the norm in boxing. Seldom has any fighter spent the entirety of their careers in one setting. Terence Crawford has followed that same ole routine. So far, he’s managed to grab world titles as a lightweight, super lightweight, and a welterweight. In addition to those championship runs, Crawford has a pair of undisputed ...
