‘I learned a lot in that moment’: Anthony Joshua reacts to early knockdowns
Anthony Joshua had a disastrous start to his fight with Kristian Prenga over the weekend, and after getting dropped twice in the opening round and scaring the daylights out of his handlers, he managed to come back with his own stoppage in the second. Joshua said he experienced a moment of clarity in the ring […]
Edgar Berlanga reacts to early scare before scoring win over Steven Butler
Edgar Berlanga nearly suffered his own setback on his Zuffa debut, getting dropped in the second against Steven Butler before rallying back to stop him in seven rounds. It certainly wasn’t exactly the kind of performance Berlanga would’ve been hoping for, but he did end up with a win nonetheless. Here’s some of what he […]
Yes, Tim Tszyu is past his best, but he can win a world title at 160
Tim Tszyu is obviously coming off of a big win last night over Errol Spence Jr, and he says he’ll be staying at 160 lbs going forward, rather than trying to return to 154. Tszyu (28-3, 18 KO) has been dabbling with this idea for a year now, after his second loss to Sebastian Fundora. […]
‘He can fight like that and beat Tyson Fury’: Eddie Hearn on Anthony Joshua’s Prenga scare
Anthony Joshua winning by second round knockout made plenty of predictions come true on Saturday, but how he got there was another story. Joshua (30-4, 27 KO) had a big scare in the first round, when he was knocked down twice by Prenga (20-2, 20 KO) and just looked like he was on bad legs, […]

‘I don’t remember 12 rounds feeling like that’: Errol Spence speaks on retirement, fight with Tim Tszyu
Errol Spence Jr announced his retirement in-ring last night in Australia, following a 12-round loss to Tim Tszyu. It was Spence’s first fight in three years, and he admitted afterward that it was hard for him to get through, but he was proud of making the distance one last time. “I’m feeling alright. I’m a […]

‘Time to go home’: Errol Spence announces retirement after loss to Tim Tszyu
Tim Tszyu revitalized the commercial side of his career with a win tonight in Sydney, Australia, against the returning Errol Spence Jr. Spence, a former welterweight titleholder and regular in various pound-for-pound top 10s for several years, just didn’t have it anymore, following a three-year layoff and a two-division jump in weight. The 36-year-old Spence […]
Anthony Joshua knocked down twice, storms back to stop Kristian Prenga
Kristian Prenga nearly scored the upset of a lifetime. The 35-year-old Albanian-American underdog put former world champion Anthony Joshua down twice in the first round, but Joshua roared back to knock Prenga out at 2:43 of Round 2. Joshua (30-4, 27 KO) is now clear to pursue his long-awaited — and, really, clearly overdue — […]

Stephen Fulton overweight, Spence vs Tszyu loses another undercard bout
Stephen Fulton failed to make weight for his planned fight with Liam Wilson on the Spence vs Tszyu show, so now that show has lost a second featured undercard bout. Fulton (23-2, 8 KO) was contracted to fight Wilson with a 133 lb limit, north of super featherweight but south of lightweight. But it could […]

Tyson Fury wins in Thailand, stops Mariusz Wach: Watch highlights from the fight
There were no surprises in Tyson Fury’s tune-up bout today in Thailand, as he stopped 46-year-old Mariusz Wach after seven rounds, taking what should be the final step toward the autumn mega-fight with Anthony Joshua. Fury (36-2-1, 25 KO) seems to have had no trouble in the non-televised fight, where he was out-weighed on the […]

Errol Spence Jr will return to boxing for his first fight in three years this weekend, when he travels to Australia to face Tim Tszyu in a 12-round, middleweight main event. Spence has been out of action so long that the guy he faced last has since won world titles in two other weight classes […]
Takuma Inoue vs Tenshin Nasukawa rematch official for September 27th in Tokyo
As expected, WBC bantamweight champion Takuma Inoue and superstar Tenshin Nasukawa will run it back on September 27th at Tokyo’s Toyota Arena. Inoue (22-2, 5 KO) pushed past a tricky start to comfortably beat Nasukawa (8-1, 3 KO) by unanimous decision last November, snapping the younger man’s 53-fight, multi-sport winning streak in professional competition. They’ve […]

The WBO announced that middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, currently serving a suspension for a failed drug test, has vacated the belt ahead of a move to super middleweight. Interim champion Denzel Bentley “shall immediately succeed” Alimkhanuly at 160. Alimkhanuly (17-0, 12 KO) tested positive for meldonium, one of the more common PEDs in Eastern European […]
