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…

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…

Two careers that have gone unfulfilled? Or two careers that have been carried as far as they were ever meant to go?

Boxing in 2019 is well and truly underway. The year has already kicked off with an upset of sorts when Caleb Plant relinquished Jose Uzcategui of his IBF Super Middleweight title last Sunday night. Adrien Broner will be looking to overhaul the applecart himself this Saturday, but on a far…

Fresh off the best and most contentious win of his 13 years in professional boxing, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is set to enter uncharted territory as he attempts to claim world honours at a third weight class. At 5’8”, Alvarez seems out of his depth at the Super Middleweight limit, home…

Remarkable comebacks are an ingrained story in Heavyweight boxing, they seem to occur in each generation, and while not all are successful, they are all greeted with support from the masses around the world who love to see the fairy-tale ending in a pantomime weight class. Tyson Fury is just…

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…

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,…

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…

It has been 7 years since Nonito Donaire entered the ring as a Bantamweight, and at 35-years old the five-weight world champion looks to re-capture his finest prize fighting days against a man primed to be a future star. Belfast’s Ryan Burnett has already claimed IBF and WBA titles at…

It seems to have been some time ago now since the Fury cousins set their sights on ruling the Heavyweight landscape in the same vein as the Klitschko brother were doing at that time. Fast forward and the elder cousin Tyson has already had his hands on three of the…

Peter Wells returns this weekend with his official Danny Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko preview and prediction.

In a stacked card at the Copper Box Arena, a 10 rounder between Isaac Chamberlain and Luke Watkins stands out as the highlight of the night. The two Cruiserweights have defeats to Lawrence Okolie on their records – Chamberlain on points and Watkins inside 3 rounds. But their respective styles…

As Kiryl Relikh edged past Eduard Troyanovsky to defend his WBA Super Lightweight title, the only other belt in the World Boxing Super Series 140lb category is at stake when mandatory’s Ivan Baranchyk and Anthony Yigit meet in New Orleans for the vacant IBF crown. Russia’s Baranchyk became the first…

The highlights of Terence Crawford’s career has thus far circumnavigated around being a three-weight world champion and a former undisputed Super Lightweight champion of the world. A resume most in the game would dream of, yet it still feels the unblemished record is missing another piece, a single fight that…

The Cruiserweight’s were a huge success in last season’s World Boxing Super Series, and without the skilful pound-for-pound star Oleksandr Usyk in this season, it looks about as even a playing field as you can possibly get.

Neither Kiryl Relikh nor Eduard Troyanovsky are listed as anywhere near favourite for the World Boxing Super Series winner’s podium at 140lbs, but they carry the most experience at this level in the Super Lightweight division. Relikh has good reason to argue that he should still be undefeated coming into…

Since his late rally was cut criminally short by an early tolling of the bell against Timothy Bradley, the career of Jessie Vargas has been an up-and-down affair. He was WBA Super Lightweight champion, undefeated and looking to make a name for himself in the Welterweight division. The tall Las…

Season 1 of the World Boxing Super Series was a huge hit, there were very few glitches on the way to determining a final winner in both the Super Middleweight and Cruiserweight divisions. A young prospect grew into a certified world champion, and a unified champion and pound-for-pound star was…
