This Friday night, Manchester’s favourite boxing son, Anthony Crolla, is the first of two Britons looking to overhaul the lopsided odds on the road, against a pair of international, pound-for-pound superstars. The WBA and WBO Lightweight champion of the world, Vasyl Lomachenko, has redefined many laws of boxing with his jaw dropping speed, athleticism and […]

In every good fighters’ career, there comes a moment when the choice to be great must be made. Some will see the opportunity pass by them in a flash, others will watch it linger, either missing the chance completely or grabbing it too late. In the case of undefeated four-weight world champion, Mikey Garcia, such

Two careers that have gone unfulfilled? Or two careers that have been carried as far as they were ever meant to go? James Degale and Chris Eubank Jr have enjoyed much of their respective careers in the spotlight, thus unnecessary pressures and expectations have been heaped upon both British boxers.

While there have been many changes in the Light Heavyweight division in recent years, one constant has been the WBC ruler, Adonis Stevenson, the 41-year old Haitian-born Canadian who has reigned since 2013. The man who has reigned since upsetting Chad Dawson in one round is concluding his toughest year since that night, ending it

It has been nearly 10 years since Jean Pascal’s name first appeared in the boxing headlines, when he narrowly lost to Carl Froch in December 2008. There have been many high-profile fights since that night, including against Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins and Sergey Kovalev – twice each – Lucian Bute, Eleider Alvarez, and now the

With two of the four Super Lightweight belts tied up in the World Boxing Super Series, the two remaining world champions have a far narrower resource of viable world-class opposition. The hope would be that while the WBA and IBF titles are unified in the final of the WBSS, the WBO and WBC titles also
