Tom Brown wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the first fight on the pay-per-view portion of the Tim Tszyu-Keith Thurman undercard March 30 in Las Vegas goes down as the most memorable match of the entire night. The president of TGB Promotions, the primary promoter for Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions, considers Sebastian Fundora-Serhii Bohachuk a can’t-miss, all-action fight ...

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman will be a very interested part in some of the upcoming heavyweight fights in Saudi Arabia. On March 8th, former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua will collide with MMA veteran Francis Ngannou.

Most handicappers have given Peter Dobson less than a 10 percent chance of upsetting Conor Benn on Saturday in Las Vegas. An admittedly distracted Benn believes, though, that he is only operating at 25 percent of his capabilities because his well-documented performance-enhancing drug ordeal is still hanging over his head. The unbeaten Benn is awaiting a hearing date for the ...
The embarrassment that came from getting brutally knocked out at the hands of Gervonta Davis, may have been a blessing in disguise for Rolando “Rolly” Romero. Normally, that type of defeat has led to a fighter's stock plummeting. For Romero, however, he fought well enough for both his contemporaries and fans to view him in a different light.

Manny Pacquiao still has plenty of fight left in him. The eight-division champion Pacquiao retired in 2021 shortly after losing a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas, and he’s since hit the exhibition trail like many other past-their-prime stars have in recent years.

Tim Tszyu didn’t mention names Wednesday, but the emerging Australian star made his feelings perfectly clear about most of his contemporaries. Tszyu commended Keith Thurman for moving up in weight to fight him March 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The WBO junior middleweight champion doesn’t have nearly as much respect for fighters that Tszyu feels have avoided him ...

The junior welterweight star from Victorville, Calif., flummoxed viewers in his last fight, in December, against Oscar Duarte, by deciding to employ the defensive technique associated with the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and James Toney.
