Canelo fighting Munguia

The latest winner of the Canelo Alvarez sweepstakes is Jaime Munguia, who beat out Jermall Charlo and Edgar Berlanga to land a May 4 fight in Las Vegas versus boxing’s top star. With that fight comes a chance at boxing championship glory, and of course, the biggest payday of Munguia’s career. Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) enters the undisputed super middleweight championship fight on the heels of a career-best performance, a ninth-round TKO victory over John Ryder in January. Munguia has improved greatly under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. And now he’ll meet his countryman on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Canelo-Munguia […]

Joshua takes out Ngannou with crushing KO finish in Round 2

Anthony Joshua scored a spectacular knockout of Francis Ngannou in Round 2 of their heavyweight fight Friday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a right hand that landed clean on the former UFC heavyweight champion’s chin and rendered him unconscious. After Ngannou regained his senses, ringside officials administered oxygen to the 37-year-old, who was boxing for just the second time. England’s Joshua, 34, scored a knockdown in the opening round with a right hand, and Ngannou appeared to be unsteady after he beat the count. Joshua produced another knockdown in Round 2, an equilibrium shot that connected on Ngannou’s left ear. […]

Ray Ford stops Otabek Kholmatov in 12th to win vacant title

In a thrilling finish, Ray Ford stopped Otabek Kholmatov with seven seconds left to capture the vacant WBA featherweight title Saturday evening in Verona, New York. Ford trailed 106-103 on two scorecards and was up 105-104 on the other heading into the final round when he landed the punch that ultimately got him the fight. A right hook with 30 seconds left in the ESPN main event stunned Kholmatov before a series of shots sent him reeling. Another right hand rocked Kholmatov along the ropes, and as he turned his back on unsteady legs, referee Charlie Fitch halted the contest […]

David Benavidez: ‘I’m not going to be waiting on Canelo’

David Benavidez sat on the ring apron at the downtown BOXR Gym and wrapped his hands — just because the Canelo Alvarez fight he has pushed so hard to land seems farther away than ever, it doesn’t mean the work stops. Alvarez has long stated Benavidez (and other fighters) must earn a shot at boxing’s top star, and there’s no doubt following his breakthrough campaign last year that Benavidez did exactly that. He brutalized Caleb Plant in a March decision victory and followed with a sixth-round TKO triumph over Demetrius Andrade in November. The calls for an Alvarez-Benavidez matchup for […]

Francis Ngannou eyes Ferreira-Bader winner after boxing match

Francis Ngannou is two weeks away from his second appearance in a professional boxing ring, but he’s already considering his eventual return to mixed martial arts. Ngannou (17-3) hinted Thursday on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” that he’d likely face the winner of Saturday’s heavyweight contest between 2023 PFL champion Renan Ferreira and Bellator MMA champion Ryan Bader. “I think the winner of this is the guy I’m going to fight in my MMA return,” Ngannou told ESPN. “It is my intention to return to the sport. When exactly, I think depends on March 8. [Ferreira and Bader] are both champions and one of them is going […]

Boxer Manny Pacquiao, 45, can’t compete at Paris Olympics

The International Olympic Committee will not alterate its rules to let boxing great Manny Pacquiao compete at the Paris Games aged five years beyond the entry limit. Pacquiao, who retired in 2021, wanted to box at age 45 in the Olympic tournament in Paris, where medal fights will be held in the Roland Garros tennis complex. The IOC stated Sunday it wrote to Olympic officials in Philippines explaining the age limit for boxers of 40 will be upheld. The IOC now oversees Olympic boxing after derecognizing the International Boxing Association governing body. Looking for the best online betting site and […]

Teofimo Lopez tops Jamaine Ortiz, retains title despite boos

Teofimo Lopez strutted his way to the ring Thursday night accompanied by a sword eater and other circus acts as he channeled Hugh Jackman’s “The Greatest Showman” complete with top hat and ringmaster robe. He was anything but in an uneventful junior welterweight title defense versus Jamaine Ortiz, a unanimous-decision victory for Lopez that elicited constant boos from the Mandalay Bay crowd. Lopez (20-1, 13 KOs) prevailed via scores of 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113. And while he kept his WBO title at 140 pounds, he failed to put on a show and was frustrated once again by a slick southpaw […]

England’s John Ryder retires after back-to-back losses

England’s John Ryder announced his retirement from boxing Tuesday at age 35 following back-to-back losses. Ryder (32-7, 18 KOs), rated No. 9 by ESPN at super middleweight, made his announcement 10 days after he was dropped four times en route to a ninth-round TKO loss to Mexico’s Jaime Munguia. That loss followed a wide-points defeat in May 2023 to Canelo Alvarez, boxing’s top star. “Although I didn’t manage to win that world title, I’ve achieved and experienced more than I could ever have imagined when I first put on a pair of boxing gloves,” said Ryder. “I wouldn’t change that for […]

Devin Haney shuts out Regis Prograis, now 2-division champion

Devin Haney delivered a virtuoso performance to become a two-division champion in his first fight at 140 pounds, scoring a shutout decision over Regis Prograis on Saturday evening at Chase Center. All three judges scored the fight 120-107 for Haney, who captured Prograis’ WBC junior welterweight title. Haney also was the undisputed lightweight champion before vacating all four of his belts in late November. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) earned every round Saturday night on the strength of precision punching, an excellent jab and ring generalship beyond his 25 years. He scored a knockdown in Round 3 with a sharp right hand and busted […]

Tyson Fury survives knockdown, edges Francis Ngannou on points

In a shocking turn of events, Tyson Fury was forced to survive a third-round knockdown to eke past Francis Ngannou via split decision Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. One judge scored it 95-94 for Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, but was overruled by tallies of 96-93 and 95-94 for Fury. Fury’s WBC heavyweight title wasn’t on the line in the 10-round boxing match. Ngannou was making his pro boxing debut in his first fight since January 2022. England’s Fury was installed as a -1400 favorite to attain the match. He moves on to an undisputed heavyweight championship fight versus Oleksandr Usyk despite arguably his […]
