Less than 48 hours after getting pounded into oblivion, Deontay Wilder will reportedly exercise a clause that will get him a rematch against the man who delivered that pounding, Tyson Fury.

It wasn’t a just beating. Tyson Fury dominated, dismantled, and did what nobody has ever done to Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury is now the WBC heavyweight champion of the world after defeating Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.

Once UFC 246 ended, Floyd Mayweather let it be known that he’s ready to give Conor McGregor another shot at handing him his first loss. Following McGregor’s impressive victory over Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, Mayweather took to Instagram where he hinted at the possibility of another fight with the UFC icon. Floyd uploaded a mock promotional flyer that claims Mayweather-McGregor 2 […]
If you’ve seen a single film in the Rocky franchise, then you know that boxers can have some truly bizarre ways of preparing for their opponent. Take the original 1976 film, for example, where Rocky Balboa goes into a walk-in freezer to beat his meat. OK, not literally. In the iconic scene, he briefly spars with giant carcasses of […]
Adrien Broner‘s recent legal loss will reportedly cost him six figures.
