Chisora, 26, has done very little to prove that he’s [...]

By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) is still dreaming of fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr., despite having the toughest opponent of his career Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) facing him and prepared to knock him out on December 11th. In the latest boxing news, Khan, speaking with the Manchester Evening [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum wasn’t impressed with what he saw of the Filipino fighter in his visit to Pacquiao’s training camp in the Philippines.

By Scott Gilfoid: I really don’t like former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch’s chances against the monstrous punching Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) in their stage 3 Super Six bout on November 27th in Helsinki, Finland. Abraham has fought twice thus far and in both cases he’s sent his opponents – Jermain Taylor and [...]

By Jason Kim: Former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs took the wrong approach for his fight with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko last Saturday night in Briggs’ failed attempt to capture Vitali’s title. Instead of going all out and risking getting knocked out early by putting massive amounts of pressure on Vitali, Briggs instead was [...]

By Gerardo Granados: Both fighting at welterweight, young and hungry for glory, fame and money. This fight would set PPV records. Yeah sure, this two warriors belong to different eras (but still both are modern era fighters) and as usual the young boxing fans did not get the chance to watch Leonard engage with other [...]

By Marquise Bullock: This isn’t an article for bias fans. So the Mayweather-Pacquiao debate can wait for next time. But anyway, was Floyd Mayweather Jr. on to something when he didn’t pay the WBA sanctioning fees against “Sugar” Shane Mosley?

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) has selected one of arguably the weakest opponents he’s ever faced during his championship campaign in undefeated 2nd tier heavyweight Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s), who Wladimir will be facing on December 11th at the SAP-Arena, Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
