By Klaas Mabetlela: Floyd Mayweather fierce critics and most general boxing fans say that he avoids the best in the world, the best in the divisions he fights in, is boring to watch, cherry picks his opponent and lately fights smaller men. I looked closely into Shane Mosley career and it seems that he is [...]

By Sean McDaniel: World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (25-1, 16 KO’s) has reportedly had shoulder surgery earlier today to repair his right shoulder, which came out of the socket in his recent fight with Adrian Diaconu in their fight on December 11th.

By William Mackay: World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KO’s) could be facing veteran Zab Judah (38-6, 26 KO’s), according to news from The Mirror.

Berto, 26, is hoping that [...]

By Dave Lahr: If you’re like a lot of people, you’re probably finding it hard to get all that excited about WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik’s bout against challenger Miguel Espino this Saturday in Youngstown, Ohio. Pavlik is a great figther, with excellent power and an exciting crowd pleasing style of fighting, but his opponents, [...]

By Richard McNamara: Firstly I’d like to thank everyone who commented on my first article “Haye v Klitschko debate – setting the record straight” much appreciated and I only hope this article achieves what the last one did, and gets people talking about boxing rather than hurling abuse. I thought I would write about this [...]

By Peter Wells: Well the good news just keeps coming, as WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley’s promoter Gary Shaw and World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s promoter Frank Warren are hoping to arrange a super unification bout, most likely to be on the Mayweather-Pacquiao undercard. Don’t worry these aren’t silly little rumours, [...]

By Sean McDaniel: World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20 KO’s) will have to leave the safe confines of Nottingham, England, to travel to Denmark to fight former WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (42-2, 32 KO’s) in his next Super Six tournament fight on April 17th.

By William Mackay: After seeing the latest news information about a potential Haye vs. Klitschko fight shot down by David Haye’s trainer/manager Adam Booth, I’m starting to having a sinking feeling that Haye might end up milking his World Boxing Association heavyweight title for as long as possible before facing one or both of the [...]

By Adam Fillingham: On the thirteenth of February in 2010 Danny Williams will once again return from defeat to attend to business on domestic level. His opponent on the night will be the once defeated Commonwealth champion Sam Sexton. Williams will also be defending his British belt.

By Chris Williams: According to Fight News, the reports that were out earlier yesterday about a preliminary deal for a fight between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and WBA title holder David Haye are not correct. Haye’s manager, Adam Booth, says that there is no such deal that has been made between Klitschko [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Heavyweight contender Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) feels really confident about his chances at beating IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in their upcoming March 20th bout next year. In an interview with James Slater of East Side Boxing, Chambers had this to say about Klitschko: “Dimitrenko is a little more fluid than [...]

By Jason Haynes: So finally, the fight the world has been waiting for, Pacquiao vs Mayweather, is to be negotiated and signed….or is it so? There have been rumours of Mayweather demanding 60-65 %, Pacquaio saying that the fight will never happen because he doesn’t think Mayweather wants to fight. The fight will happen on [...]

By Chris Williams: For the third time in the past year, boxing fans will be seeing World Boxing Council/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (35-1, 31 KO’s) facing what appears to be a badly overmatched opponent in Miguel Angel Espino (20-2-1, 9 KO’s). Pavlik will be facing Espino on Saturday night in a pay-per-view bout at [...]

By Eric Thomas: In an interview with Boxing Talk, 41-year-old James Toney (72-6-3, 44 KO’s) mentioned that he’s interested in fighting Antonio Taver after finding out that Tarver himself is interested in fighting him. When told that Tarver wanted to fight him, Toney said in an interview with Greg Leon, “Really? We can do this.” [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: With the news today that World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye and WBC heavyweight title holder Vitali Klitschko have reached a preliminary agreement for a fight in the future, you can pretty much assume that Haye won’t have his title for long. It seems to be that Klitschko and Haye were [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Former BBBofC and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams (41-8, 31 KO’s) plans on retiring from boxing following his February 13th bout against the current Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam Sexton (13-1, 6 KO’s) at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, in London. Williams, now 36, has lost two out of his last three fights. In [...]

By Jim Dower: In last weekend’s bouts, German based (translation: a fighter who trains and lives in Germany) Jan Zaveck (28-1, 16 KO’s) put in an impressive display of power punching to stop International Boxing Federation welterweight champion Isaac Hlatshwayo (29-2-1, 10 KO’s) in the 3rd round to capture his IBF title at the Wembley [...]

By Eric Thomas: World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) has reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to fight WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s), according to the latest boxing news.

By Stuart Young: Unquestionably the most revered boxing sons to come out of Mexico since the great Julio Cesar Chavez. It seems with their ‘boxing lifespan’ either over or seemingly on the wane, now would be as good a time as any, to look back over their careers & try to determine which of this [...]

by Chris Williams: I’ve seen a lot of bad offensive fighters in my day, but after seeing heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson’s performance against World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko last Saturday night, I would have to say that Johnson has the worst offensive skills than any of the current top 15 fighters in the [...]

By Chris Williams: At 31, it would appear that former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KO’s) has seen better days in his boxing career. Taylor, once arguably the best fighter in the entire middleweight division three years ago, is now more of an afterthought for many boxing fans. Taylor has been knocked out [...]

By Richie Doyle: looking towards next weekend’s fight cards I notice that kelly Pavlik is quite overpriced and his fight with Miguel Angel Espino is being seen as easy ko victory but I believe Espino could be a tougher task then that, he has great amateur pedigree and his pro record seems to have gone [...]

By Jim Slattengren: To listen to previously unbeaten heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-1-1, 9 KO’s) speak before Saturday night’s fight, you would think that Johnson was going to rip World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko’s head clean off his shoulders. At least you would have thought that Johnson, 30 was going to make a [...]

By Chris Williams: Former International Boxing Federation light welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (27-3, 5 KO’s) may have rekindled his career with an impressive 12 round unanimous decision victory over former lightweight champion Juan Diaz on Saturday night at the UIC Pavilion, in Chicago, Illinois. Malignaggi, 29, dominated Diaz, beating him by the scores of 116-111, [...]

For Miranda, 28, this is a big opportunity for him to win a title against arguably the weakest of [...]

By Liam Santiago: Amir Khan told the Express and Star that he believes that World Boxing Council super middleweight champion, Carl Froch has now proved he is jealous of the Bolton man. Khan also stated that he is not the only British fighter to fall as a victim to Froch’s insults. He claimed that David [...]

By Sean McDaniel: After last Saturday night’s fight between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and challenger Kevin Johnson, Wladimir Klitschko, the younger brother of Vitali, attempted to go over and separate Johnson and Vitali, both of whom were standing and looking as if they might continue to trade after the bell. However, no [...]

By Erik Schmidt: According to news from the Bild Zeitung, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) could be facing former WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-2, 34 KO’s) next in either April or May 2010. This is a bout that the 38-year-old Klitschko likely wants due to the interest that this [...]

By Eggert Thorarensen: I was watching Vitali Klitschko outbox Kevin Johnson yesterday and i was not impressed just like i haven’t been impressed by any of the four fights Vitali has had since his comeback. And I am sure David Haye can beat Vitali. In fact, I’m even more sure that Haye will beat Vitali [...]
