Joseph Diaz misses weight , is stripped of IBF world title.

At the weigh in today Joseph “JoJo” Diaz came in 3.6 pounds overweight for his first defence of his super featherweight world title. The limit for the division is 130 and Diaz came in hugely overweight at 133.6. This is hugely disappointing as it means hes stripped of his world title and if he winsContinue reading “Joseph Diaz misses weight , is stripped of IBF world title.”

5 fighters Jaime Munguia could fight next

I did a list similar to this one last year for Munguia but with the new year and the middleweight division moving around a little bit I’ve decided to do another one. The first fighter Jaime Munguia could fight next realistically is Jermall Charlo. He’s the WBC world champion and I think the fight isContinue reading “5 fighters Jaime Munguia could fight next”

GGG and Jaime Munguia in talks for fight.

The promoters of Jaime Munguia have said that they are trying to negotiate a fight between him and Gennadiy Golovkin otherwise known as “GGG”. This would be for Golovkin’s IBF Middleweight title and would be a big fight in the sport. Recent statements from Munguia’s promoters makes it seem like the fight may not happenContinue reading “GGG and Jaime Munguia in talks for fight.”

BBC Panorama explains link between MTK and Irish Cartel

A program aired tonight on BBC One which delved into and explained the connections between MTK, Daniel Kinahan and the Irish Cartel which he leads. I found the program interesting even though I already knew most of the details which most people that follow boxing also knew. I tend to believe that MTK is involvedContinue reading “BBC Panorama explains link between MTK and Irish Cartel”

Sonny Fredrickson and Adrian Granados return in comeback fights in Mexico

Both Fredrickson and Granados are fighting in comeback fights in Mexico versus opposition I expect them to beat comfortably. They are also both coming off back to back losses and it’ll be good for them to pick up wins and try and stay active while the pandemic is still going on. Hopefully after they getContinue reading “Sonny Fredrickson and Adrian Granados return in comeback fights in Mexico”

Stephen Fulton versus Raeese Aleem is the fight to make

This seems like a logical fight to make as both featured on the same card on Saturday and put in great performances. Aleem proved hes ready for a world title shot and Fulton won his first world title versus Angelo Leo in a very impressive performance. I think if they do get matched up itContinue reading “Stephen Fulton versus Raeese Aleem is the fight to make”

Josh Warrington vacates IBF world title

Josh Warrington has decided to vacate his IBF world title after the organisation didn’t sanction his upcoming unification and instead ordered him to fight Kid Galahad again. Warrington has said he doesn’t want to fight Galahad again and just wants the biggest fights at this stage of his career. I don’t blame him for vacatingContinue reading “Josh Warrington vacates IBF world title”

The issues with top fighters fighting twice a year.

One of the most annoying things to me about boxing today is that once fighters reach the top they generally only fight twice a year for the rest of their careers. This hasn’t always been the case and only really became immensely popular once Floyd Mayweather started doing it. The logic behind doing it isContinue reading “The issues with top fighters fighting twice a year.”

Eddie Hearn has announced five UK shows that will take place over the next four months. To start off the year on February 13th Josh Warrington will have his first fight with Matchroom and will defend his IBF featherweight world title versus Mauricio Lara who is relatively unknown and is really being used as aContinue reading “Hearn announces UK shows”
