(Mark Robinson / Goldstar Promotions) Conor Benn, a little over one week away from his shot at WBC welterweight boss Ryan Garcia, has revealed the extent of his struggle to make 147lbs for the first time in more than four years. Benn, 25-1 (14 KOs), stopped Chris van Heerden inside two rounds in April 2022 and though he’s fought five times since he’s not fought at welterweight since. He had been expected to move up to face Chris Eubank Jnr in October 2022 in a catchweight battle until it emerged that he’d failed two PED tests, five weeks apart, in…

The two were scheduled to meet for the undisputed light middleweight championship in January 2023, but Charlo withdrew after breaking his left hand. Their fight was never rescheduled, and Charlo instead moved up two divisions to challenge Canelo later that year. “I talked to Al myself, and I’m fighting Tim next. Working on location,” Charlo told boxing reporter Lance Pugmire, as reported by Fox Sports Australia. No fight has been announced, and Tszyu’s promoter, George Rose, has publicly favored a match with WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara. Charlo has not won since stopping Brian Castano in their May 2022 rematch…
“Yesterday, TKO went around the back again to try and offer Joshua money to do the fight in America,” Hearn told DAZN. “It’s a dirty, dirty game, mate, to be honest with you. It’s made it even harder for them because Josh just ain’t about that. You’ve got an hour and a half to make your decision. Mate, what don’t you understand? I signed to fight in Britain. I want the fight in Britain.” The 90-minute demand is the major addition to Hearn’s story. A deadline that short would leave Joshua little time to study revised terms, consult his lawyers,…

Gian Piero Gasperini felt Roma’s late victory over Atalanta showed his players “really believe”, as they kept their winning Serie A start going in dramatic fashion. The Giallorossi were clearly superior against another team that had a perfect record going into Saturday’s game, firing off 39 shots to Atalanta’s six. They have only attempted more shots in a single Serie A game once in the 20-team era (since 2004-05), registering 46 against Venezia in May 2022. Roma fell behind against the run of play to Ederson’s strike two minutes into the second half, but Mario Hermoso equalised with stoppage time…
“Itauma probably didn’t come prepared. He might not have been fully focused,” Anderson told The Ring. “He’s young, and they were already putting the world in his hands. And when it comes to the fight, it happens. It’s boxing in the heavyweight division.” Itauma, 21, had never boxed beyond the sixth round. He still fought as though Hrgovic needed to be removed immediately, loading up on nearly every punch after dropping him in the second. Hrgovic survived the early attack, stayed close, and forced Itauma to continue working at a pace he could not maintain. Once Itauma’s legs and lungs…
The two-time undisputed champion controlled the opening rounds with her jab, speed, and movement. Pili made the third round competitive, but Taylor continued landing the cleaner punches as the fight progressed.

Pili switched to southpaw in the ninth and remained in that stance during the final round, but Taylor adjusted and finished strongly. The judges scored the fight 100-90, 100-90, and 98-91. David Irving was the referee. Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (16-2, 12 KOs) stopped Tyrone “The Mighty Celt” McKenna (25-7-1, 8 KOs) at 2:33…
