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 ...
In a clash that promises fireworks, Top Rank's undefeated super featherweight contender Andres "Savage" Cortes (20-0, 11 KOs) is gearing up for the most significant bout of his career as he takes on Puerto Rican contender Bryan Chevalier (20-1-1, 16 KOs). The 10-round battle is set to be the co-feature to the main event, showcasing O’Shaquie Foster vs. Abraham Nova, ...
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 ...
Before he knew it, George Kambosos Jr.’s run on top of the lightweight division was over. After pulling off the upset against Teofimo Lopez in 2021, his bank account went through a makeover. With back-to-back appearances against Devin Haney soon after, however, Kambosos, if he wanted, never had to fight again. Nevertheless, those gigantic paydays came at a price. Kambosos ...

Ever since he reached a certain level of acclaim, Jaime Munguia has probably been asked “when are you going to fight Canelo Alvarez?” every single day of his life. After bursting onto the scene during HBO’s waning days in the sport, Munguia was established as the logical heir apparent—or at least next Mexican threat—to Canelo. Considering he offered to step ...
Oscar De La Hoya hopes Jaime Munguia can challenge Canelo Alvarez as soon as possible. Munguia’s co-promoter and Alvarez’s former promoter predicted late Saturday night, though, that he expects Alvarez to fight Jermall Charlo on May 4. If Alvarez indeed faces another Charlo twin in his next pay-per-view main event, “The Golden Boy” believes the undisputed super middleweight champion will ...

The victory settled the heated cross-town rivalry and ...
Promoter Eddie Hearn was underwhelmed by the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions on Amazon Prime Video card.

The show will also feature Rolando Romero in a defense of his ...
