The timing adds to his unease. There is still training to complete before fight week, on top of the substantial muscle loss he describes. Returning from middleweight may require a longer reduction, but reaching 147 is only useful if Benn retains the strength to compete there. The Prograis fight gives that concern a reference point. Algieri recalls Benn looking rough on the scale at 149 pounds. His objection to dismissing another two pounds is that they come at the end of an already extensive reduction. That challenges the idea that getting close to welterweight proves Benn can comfortably make it.…
A fair few videos have surfaced showing police intervene as fans clash in the streets after Wolves thrash Stoke 4-1. Officers can be seen hitting out with their batons as fans marched down the city centre, taunting, goading, trying to give it large. Wayne T Vernon captioned his post: “Who said Wolves was boring Ay 😱 Shutters went down before Cones and people came flying through my windows lol I guess Stoke didn’t like 4:1 as much as We did ⚽️🤣🤣🤣” The game itself saw Wolves, who had fallen behind to a screamer from Stoke’s Sam Gallagher two minutes in,…
The uppercut was a good punch. Hrgovic taking it doesn’t mean Itauma lacks power. It does show that landing cleanly wasn’t enough to make this opponent stop advancing. There was plenty of effort behind those shots. Itauma committed heavily, often overswinging instead of mixing lighter punches with his harder ones. After misses, he had to regain his balance or get away, adding more work to an already exhausting attack. CROWD ANGLE! The moment that SILENCED the O2 😳 #MosesHrgovic 🤳 pic.twitter.com/b2tWdvjgdl — DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) August 30, 2026 Hrgovic kept following, giving him little time to rest. Even after the…
(Esther Lin / Most Valuable Promotions) Chantelle Cameron added the WBC and WBA junior middleweight belts to the WBO title she already owned when she unanimously outpointed Mikaela Mayer over 10 exciting rounds in Birmingham, England. The scores, which told the right story, were 97-93 (twice) and 96-94. Mayer’s jab was pinpoint in the early going. Her movement, too, was hard to fault as she circled Cameron rather than moving forward in straight lines. Cameron was reduced to potshotting in the opening two rounds. Mayer, who like her opponent is one of the best fighters in the entire women’s code,…
Hansi Flick is not concerned about Lamine Yamal’s failure to start the season quickly and has revealed Rodri could make his first start for Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano. Having started their LaLiga title defence with back-to-back victories over Elche and Athletic Club, Barca welcome Rayo to Camp Nou on Monday. Raphinha and Fermin Lopez have each scored three goals in LaLiga already this season, with Karim Adeyemi the other Barca player to find the net in the competition. Yamal, by contrast, has cut a frustrated figure at times since returning from Spain’s triumphant World Cup campaign, failing to provide a…
In just her fifth professional fight, Moore – who has two American national championships from a respectable amateur career – showed admirable guts, but lacked the quality to trouble her foe.It was clear that Dubois has boxed 70 more professional rounds than Moore, and she made light of being four inches shorter to avoid any danger.Now it is anticipated that Dubois, unbeaten in 15 professional fights with 14 wins, will face Baumgardner next year – should the American beat Turhan.Dubois and Baumgardner – who both gave separate media conferences promoting their respective upcoming fights in Birmingham on Thursday – have…
India all-rounder Deepti Sharma momentarily overtook Thailand’s Thipatcha Putthawong on the top of the highest wicket-takers list in women’s T20Is.The Agra player achieved this feat during India’s 94-run win over Thailand in its Women’s Asia Cup 2026 opener.After her pristine three-wicket haul in her 1.1 overs, which included a double-wicket maiden, Deepti now has 171 wickets in the shortest format to her name.

Hrgovic earned that win. After being dropped in the second round, he stayed calm, covered up when necessary, and answered hard enough to keep Itauma working. The crowd encouraged the younger fighter to throw more, while Hrgovic calmly kept stalking him. Even in defeat against Daniel Dubois, Hrgovic landed heavy shots before being stopped on cuts. He lost but showed how much punishment an opponent might have to take to beat him. I would favor Saturday’s version of Hrgovic over Fury even at his high point against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Wladimir was gun-shy, repeatedly hesitating when he needed to…

Trainer Robert Garcia sounds more interested in the payday that got away than the middleweight division Vergil Ortiz Jr. is considering. Why keep talking down Josh Kelly instead of talking up a fight with Yoenli Hernandez? “Kelly’s going to take the fight because Kelly could lose to anybody else for a couple hundred thousand. He’ll get maybe a million against Boots,” Robert Garcia told Fight Hub TV in an interview published today. Those figures are Garcia’s estimates, but the argument reveals his thinking. Garcia dismisses Kelly as an IBF champion cashing out and treats Jaron Ennis pursuing unification as evidence…
