Boxing’s been back for months now. It started in June with Top Rank’s Las Vegas bubble that was largely a success—we got real fights, including a few title bouts, and the action was welcomed relief from a deserted sports scene. But boxing’s biggest names and heaviest hitters have been waiting on the sidelines for the right time to return to the […]
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.

Check it out for yourself below. […]
Deontay Wilder likes to joke around that he gave Tyson Fury a concussion in their first fight since Fury has struggled to explain how he got up from the vicious combination that dropped him in the 12th round. Whether it was divine intervention that lifted Fury from the canvas or not, he got up from […]
The question is posed to Tyson Fury and after the 6’9” and roughly 270-pound lineal heavyweight champion—physically imposing as ever even while sitting in a chair behind a table—answers thoughtfully, thoroughly, and with a big dose of his signature British wit, he wants the man half his size and about 2.5 times his age sitting […]
