“That’s something that I told Eddie Hearn. ‘Eddie Hearn, if I sign with Matchroom and with you, please give me the trilogy.’ That’s something that all my fans want to see. All my Mexican fans, and it can happen. It can happen,” Ruiz told the Mr. Verzace Podcast. Since losing their December 2019 rematch, Ruiz has fought only three times, defeating Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz before receiving a majority draw against Jarrell Miller in August 2024. Knyba will be his first opponent in more than two years. The Polish heavyweight was stopped in three rounds by Agit Kabayel in…

LOS ANGELES – So much of boxing is spent in solitude, from the running, conditioning and bag hitting to the moment the fighter stands in that ring alone at the first bell.The isolation could’ve been more severe in the case of Guatemala’s Lester Martinez, but the fact his global relocation to the Midwest U.S. has been surrounded by a devoted team helps explain why the relentless power puncher stands as the WBC’s unbeaten interim super-middleweight champion.“Obviously, I miss my friends and family in Guatemala, but B&B Boxing Academy has become my family, too,” Martinez, 30, told BoxingScene as he nears…

Despite the heavy spending over recent seasons at Anfield, Liverpool have ultimately struggled to replace the goals of former fan-favourite Sadio Mané. The Senegalese international spent six years on the books on Merseyside, subsequently featuring 269 times and finding the back of the net on 120 occasions. He was part of the deadly front three alongside Salah and Roberto Firmino, with the trio arguably being one of the division’s best-ever attacking forces. However, Andoni Iraola has not had the same luxury after taking the reins on Merseyside, but it appears as though he’s been backed heavily by the hierarchy after…

That hostility did not start with Benn. Garcia has criticized Crawford repeatedly. He questioned the quality of Crawford’s opposition and argued that he retired without facing the younger fighters coming behind him. Crawford later picked Benn to defeat Garcia. He also warned that Garcia may get knocked out if his preparation is not serious. The exchange therefore looks less like an unexplained act of disloyalty than the latest response in a long history between them. Garcia spent years trying to pull Crawford into a fight. Crawford has now publicly taken Benn’s side, and Garcia is calling him a hater. Can…

Danny Welbeck expressed his excitement about the project at Chelsea after helping the Blues defeat Luton Town in the EFL Cup. The 35-year-old scored the opener in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge, while an own goal from Hakeem Odoffin ensured Chelsea’s place in the third round, where they will face Leeds United. Welbeck scored on his debut for the Blues after being left on the bench for their Premier League opener against Fulham, while Cole Palmer once again starred for Xabi Alonso’s side. Along with creating a joint-match-high five chances (level with Estevao), Palmer also recorded the most shots…

Netflix signed up for an international event driven by two famous British heavyweights and a rivalry years in the making. Its return comes through worldwide viewing, subscriber activity and interest beyond boxing’s regular audience, not individual pay-per-view sales alone. Remove Joshua, and that cultural event becomes a standard Fury broadcast against an unfamiliar opponent. Refusing to name either alternative also makes Brown’s announcement sound like pressure on Joshua’s side. Fury’s camp is publicly presenting New York as a plan that can continue without him, but Brown still expects the original fight to be completed. Until Netflix confirms its involvement with…
