canelo-alvarez
WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol retained his title on Saturday with a shocking unanimous decision upset over Canelo Alvarez, who hadn’t lost since September 2013. The boxer who last beat Canelo, Floyd Mayweather, took to Instagram Saturday night to show off his winning betting slip, revealing that he bet $10,000 on Bivol to win, which pocketed Floyd a cool […]
Keith Thurman is a former welterweight champion who not that long ago was considered the best at 147 pounds, was absolutely one of the most entertaining fighters to watch when he owned a couple of belts, and never pulled any punches in interviews. He hasn’t fought in two-and-a-half years since losing to Manny Pacquiao and […]
Boxing’s early days looked nothing like the sport does today, including its confusing and hard to remember division designations that incrementally increase from 105 pounds to 201 pounds and up.

Floyd Mayweather is nothing if not a showman who knows how to rile up an audience.

Because nothing elicits more laughs or scorn from those actively participating in the sport than talk about pound-for-pound rankings. They’re an arbitrary and subjective creation with no set criteria. They have absolutely […]
Andre Rozier, Danny Jacobs’s trainer, kept telling his fighter, “Don’t wait too long.” Jacobs had a history of starting off slowly in some of his biggest fights. It happened in his fight with Gennady Golovkin in 2017. It happened again Saturday night against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. And in the same way the sluggish start may have cost Jacobs […]
Floyd Mayweather isn’t stepping into the ring any time soon, but the “retired” boxer wants everyone to know that he still could. After Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez called him out in a recent interview, saying that Mayweather would be risking his unbeaten record if he gave Alvarez a rematch, Mayweather posted a throwback photo of […]
