Sergey Kovalev failed a drugs test and is now out of his fight against Bektemir Melikuziev which is a real shame as it would have been a great fight. Hopefully a replacement can be found but it seems like the whole card will be cancelled instead which is terrible for all the under card fightersContinue reading “Sergey Kovalev tests positive for banned substance”

Jamel Herring versus Carl Frampton announced
Jamel Herring versus Carl Frampton has been announced and will take place on the 27th of February 2021. The fight has been cancelled multiple times due to the corona virus and injuries but it looks like it may now go ahead. The only reason it won’t happen is if Shakur Stevenson uses his mandatory positionContinue reading “Jamel Herring versus Carl Frampton announced”
The entry level to boxing is low and it hurts the sport.
For a while now i’ve seen through online interactions that the entry level to working in boxing is low and attracts all sorts of grafters who have no real passion for the sport but sport the usual unearned confidence and friendly smiles tinged with a hint of arrogance. Again and again I see them walkContinue reading “The entry level to boxing is low and it hurts the sport.”
Teofimo Lopez ordered to fight IBF Mandatory George Kambosos Jr
The IBF recently ordered unified champion Teofimo Lopez to fight his mandatory Kambosos Jr or he would be stripped of his title. They have 30 days to negotiate before it goes to purse bids however I expect a deal will be made for the fight to take place in Australia as they can have crowdsContinue reading “Teofimo Lopez ordered to fight IBF Mandatory George Kambosos Jr”
Adrien Broner to fight Pedro Campa February 13th.
Broner is making his return to the ring after a two year inactive spell following his decision loss to Manny Pacquiao. In the years following that loss he lost focus and from his own admission was drinking heavily to the point it affected his health. It’s great too see hes back training and turning hisContinue reading “Adrien Broner to fight Pedro Campa February 13th.”
Boxing cancelled in UK until at least February
This was announced last week by the British board of control. The reasoning they gave is that with Corona Virus cases accelerating in the UK they couldn’t guarantee that they could get the required medical staff for boxing events. I think this is a good decision and is also well timed as the UK hasContinue reading “Boxing cancelled in UK until at least February”
What’s next for Jazza Dickens, Ricards Bolotniks plus undercard?
I enjoyed this card from MTK though they perhaps could have done without the three bouts which featured young prospects versus journeymen. While its great for them to get exposure on tv the fights weren’t especially entertaining and may have turned many viewers away. The last few hours were a good watch and both theContinue reading “What’s next for Jazza Dickens, Ricards Bolotniks plus undercard?”
Ricards Bolotniks versus Serge Michel breakdown
This should be a competitive fight over ten rounds in the final of the MTK Light heavyweight Golden Contract tournament. Both boxers are obviously on good runs of form right now as they have managed to get to the final even though neither were expected to at the start. Richard Bolotniks is the best exampleContinue reading “Ricards Bolotniks versus Serge Michel breakdown”
One to watch : Fiodor Czerkaszyn
With all the talk of long time middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin facing Kamil Szeremeta from Poland I thought I’d write about another rising Polish middleweight and one that in my eyes is better than Szeremeta. Fiodor Czerkaszyn has flown under the radar in Poland as over the course of five years hes built himself aContinue reading “One to watch : Fiodor Czerkaszyn”
Rene Tellez Giron wins by knockout in Mexico
Rene Tellez Giron won by knockout in Mexico earlier today in what is his first fight this year. Giron is a fighter worth watching as at the age of 21 hes already caused two upsets over touted prospects and gone the distance with Michel Rivera who is regarded as a very good prospect at lightweight.Continue reading “Rene Tellez Giron wins by knockout in Mexico”
