Stephen Fulton is back in the gym preparing for another run, but the former two-division champion has a serious problem. His body has pushed him into lightweight, where his lack of punching power and physical strength leave him with very few favorable options. The Ring posted footage of Fulton working the mitts and asked what might come next for the 32-year-old. Judging by the fan reaction, not many people expect another championship run. The mood was unusually gloomy for training footage involving a fighter with Fulton’s accomplishments. That pessimism is understandable. O’Shaquie Foster thoroughly controlled Fulton in their lightweight fight…

Four years after their bitter rematch, Canelo Alvarez controlled an aging Gennadiy Golovkin and won their third meeting by unanimous decision in Las Vegas on September 17, 2022. The first meeting ended in a split draw that many believed Golovkin deserved. Canelo received a majority decision in their 2018 rematch, but that result also divided viewers. Their third fight was different. There was no serious argument over the winner. Scores of 116-112 and 115-113 twice allowed Canelo to retain his undisputed super middleweight championship. The correct fighter won, although the two 115-113 cards were strangely generous to Golovkin. The four-year…

The British Boxing Board of Control has approved a 187-pound weight class to bridge the punishing jump between light heavyweight and cruiserweight. The problem is that anyone winning its British title will have nowhere to advance internationally. Named light cruiserweight, the division begins January 1, 2027. Fighters can compete for Area, English, Celtic and British championships, but none of the four major sanctioning bodies recognizes the category. Trainer Joe Gallagher pushed the proposal after watching boxers struggle with the 25-pound jump from 175 to 200. “If you look at the smaller weight classes, they go up by three or four…
(Mark Robinson / Matchroom Boxing) Eddie Hearn believes his former charge Conor Benn should get some credit for getting as far as a world title shot even though he was outclassed by Ryan Garcia on Saturday night. Hearn guided Benn through the early years of his professional career, stuck by him when two failed PED tests threatened his future, and the promoter also orchestrated two money-spinning stadium showdowns with Chris Eubank Jnr last year. It was a surprise, then, when Benn opted to sign with Zuffa Boxing earlier this year. Benn’s form with his new promoters hasn’t been impressive. A…
