Unfortunately for Sweden, they couldn’t make a first half break through, conceded two more in…
David Benavidez has revealed who he sees as Mexico’s greatest-ever fighter, believing the Hall of Famer was in a class of his own when it came to his technical ability. In a conversation surrounding all-time Mexican greats, Julio Cesar Chavez is often the first name that springs to mind. This is because he remained undefeated, and became a three-weight world champion, in his first 90 professional fights, before ultimately retiring with a record of 107-6-2 (85 KOs). Besides a controversial draw with Pernell Whitaker in 1993, Chavez hardly put a foot wrong during his unbeaten run, which came to an…

Oscar De La Hoya says Golden Boy Promotions is making progress toward resolving its contract dispute with Vergil Ortiz Jr. and expects the unbeaten junior middleweight contender to return to the ring before the end of the year. Ortiz has been inactive since late 2025 after a disagreement with Golden Boy derailed plans for a fight against Jaron “Boots” Ennis. “There’s nothing that makes me happier than to see fighters get in the ring and perform. Vergil Ortiz is one of the best fighters out there. I hate not seeing him fight,” De La Hoya said during Golden Boy’s DAZN…
