Eddie Hearn may have secured Anthony Joshua’s preferred country for the Tyson Fury fight, but Roy Jones Jr. believes the Matchroom promoter has damaged his position with the people controlling boxing’s richest events. Joshua and Fury had agreed to fight November 20 at Madison Square Garden. Hearn resisted the New York venue because Joshua’s contract required the contest to take place in Britain. The heavyweight clash is now likely to land at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on December 11. That gives Hearn a victory he can sell to the British public, but the reported 2 a.m. local start removes much…

Canelo Alvarez ended Billy Joe Saunders’ challenge with a calculated right uppercut on May 8, 2021, turning nearly eight rounds of body work and observation into a corner retirement at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Saunders entered the ring holding the WBO super middleweight title, demanding a 22-foot ring for his unification against Canelo. His father threatened to pull him from the card unless organizers approved the larger canvas. Canelo accepted the demand, yet the extra space never became the asset Saunders envisioned. Canelo removed the challenger’s legs by digging downstairs. CompuBox credited Canelo with 39 body punches in less…

Shakur Stevenson remains without a bout following his move to Zuffa Boxing in July, and the four-division world champion has been slammed by one Hall of Famer for ‘moving scared’ when able to secure major fights with his pound-for-pound rivals. Stevenson captured the WBO super-lightweight title when he outpointed Teofimo Lopez back in January, becoming the third-youngest four-weight world champion in boxing history in the process. However, after signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing in the summer, the Newark southpaw has failed to secure a second outing for 2026, despite he and WBO welterweight world champion Devin Haney publicly agreeing…

Moses Itauma’s explosive offense carried him into an IBF heavyweight title fight at 21, but Filip Hrgovic exposed the costly machinery underneath it. George Groves now describes Itauma as a “three-round fighter,” a label that rings true once the sheer physical toll of that early assault is broken down. Itauma held the speed advantage, tagging Hrgovic with sharp, clean punches during the initial minutes. Rather than establishing control, he pursued the knockout as if Hrgovic were simply another fragile victim waiting to fold. The Croatian veteran absorbed the initial storm, forced the prospect into sustained manual labor, and closed the…

Canelo Alvarez believes Christian Mbilli’s aggressive style has been designed for his counterpunching. After losing to Terence Crawford and going almost five years without a knockout, Canelo has selected a champion who willingly walks into the exchanges he prefers. Mbilli last fought on the same card as Canelo in September 2025. While Crawford comfortably outboxed Canelo, Mbilli and Lester Martinez battered one another through ten rounds in a majority draw. Canelo didn’t see much boxing skill in their performance. “There’s no way he can fight like that [against me] because I’m not Martinez,” Canelo told Mbilli during DAZN’s Face Off.…

Joe Louis settled an old score on September 20, 1939, knocking out Bob Pastor in the 11th round before 33,868 spectators at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Pastor had escaped him for 10 rounds two years earlier. Louis made certain that the same tactics would not save him again. Their first meeting took place at Madison Square Garden on January 29, 1937. Pastor, a former New York University fullback, conceded roughly 25 pounds and was listed as a 10-to-1 underdog. He survived by circling, retreating, and refusing to remain within punching range. The unanimous decision belonged to Louis, but Pastor celebrated…
