The 33-year-old last fought on January 10, stopping Damian Knyba in the third round at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen. Knyba had early success with his height and jab before Kabayel closed the distance and forced the stoppage. The result gave Kabayel six consecutive wins inside the distance. His earlier run included stoppages of Arslanbek Makhmudov, Frank Sánchez and Zhilei Zhang. Those wins established Kabayel as a leading heavyweight, but they did not make him a full world champion inside the ring. Kabayel Still Needs a Championship Win A mental asterisk remains beside the WBC belt because Kabayel inherited it…

“Boots is part of the plan, but it doesn’t have to be next,” De La Hoya said in January. “Eddie, since you’re so desperate to make this fight, let’s do this: 60/40 for Vergil and 5% to the winner because I’m generous, and I’m not moving off those numbers.” Golden Boy treated Ortiz like the established attraction, even though Ennis had been a two-belt titlist at welterweight and proven his ability to sell tickets on the East Coast. Ortiz had never headlined a major pay-per-view or generated comparable gate revenue. The WBC interim belt gave Ortiz Jr. a negotiating tool,…
‘Disastrous’ – Nathan Jones reacts after Charlton’s 5-1 Carabao Cup Second Round defeat to Tottenham and injuries. Spurs’ Mikey Moore (41′), Dominic Solanke (45′), Kevin Danso (67′), Savinho (82′) and Ben Davies (85′) all got on the scoresheet, while Lloyd Jones (87′) got a consolation for the Addicks. The night became more frustrating for Jones however when Collins Sichenje and Billy Koumetio had to be taken off due to injury after 15 minutes. Jones made 10 changes to the Charlton team that beat West Ham at the weekend. Tottenham’s De Zerbi made 5 changes to the side that lost at…
EXCITEMENT abounds in our Enterprise National League this week featuring a full set of matches under floodlights and William Hill News take a look at the action. Memories are still vivid concerning last season’s tumultuous title race where York City pipped Rochdale to top spot when those two clubs drew 1-1 on the final day. Then in a pulsating Promotion Final at Wembley Stadium, Rochdale edged Boreham Wood 3-1 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. Football betting odds would suggest another closely contested title race is unfolding. Only two teams boast 100 percent records after three games played. And two…
Morning. Let’s start today with something that has actually happened, and that’s the Carabao Cup third round draw. First, I’m amazed it’s still Carabao. I thought their sponsorship was finished. No idea why. To this day, I’ve never had a whatever a Carabao is, and I think at this point in my life, that’s not gonna change. Anyway, I don’t think you can even get whatever it is here, which seems like they haven’t properly exploited the market or something like that. It’s not that I’m hankering for a big healthy dollop of fresh Carabao, I’d just like the ability…
“Robinson fought TWENTY times in 1950. Twenty! That would be impossible now. There wouldn’t be 20 shows to fight on or 20 guys to fight!” Aguilar is correct about the modern impossibility. An elite boxer completing 20 fights now would require more available dates, opponents, and regulatory clearance than the current system is built to provide. Many leading fighters struggle to make two appearances within the same calendar year. Robinson Was Not Just Collecting Easy Wins The number loses some meaning if those fights are treated as little more than paid sparring. Robinson’s 1950 schedule included serious opposition across the…

Harvey Barnes revealed Newcastle United’s “ultimate goal is to go all the way” in the EFL Cup after their win over West Brom. The Magpies booked their place in the third round with a 3-2 win at St. James’ Park, with Barnes netting the winner in the 81st minute. West Brom took the lead through Isaac Price early on, but Newcastle were level going into the break as Bazoumana Toure scored his first goal for the club. Newcastle, who unveiled new signing Nico Gonzalez before kick-off, then took the lead early in the second half through half-time substitute Barnes after…
“It’s a theory that the fight was tampered with. For the older boxing guys what do yall think?” Prograis posted on X. Foreman’s own account is more valuable than the theory raised by Prograis. The former heavyweight champion described receiving suspicious-tasting water shortly before the fight in his 2007 memoir, God in My Corner. “Just before the fight with Ali, my trainer handed me a glass of liquid and said, ‘Here’s your water,’” Foreman wrote. “As I took a swig, I almost spit it out. ‘Hey, this water tastes like it has medicine in it.’” Trainer Dick Sadler assured Foreman…
