(MVP/Sky Sports) After a respectful build-up between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron, the invitation to go nose-to-nose, as it often can, resulted in temperatures rising somewhat at Friday’s weigh in. The pair clash atop an MVP card on Saturday, in Birmingham, England, with each bringing junior middleweight belts to the mix. After getting in each other’s faces and exchanging insults today, they were separated by security. Mayer, 22-2 (5 KOs), will bring the WBC title whereas Cameron, 22-1 (8 KOs) and one year younger at 35, defends the WBO title. Neither came close to the 154lbs division limit. Mayer, also…

The deal gives Smith the opportunity he has pursued through the WBO mandatory system. It also gives trainer Buddy McGirt time to construct a strategy around the weaknesses Artur Beterbiev exposed during his two fights with Bivol. Although Bivol is a superb technical boxer, he is not untouchable. Beterbiev showed that he becomes less comfortable when an opponent keeps advancing, attacks after his combinations, and denies him the space needed to restore his rhythm. McGirt will have studied those sequences closely. Finding the weakness is one thing. Getting Smith to exploit it for 12 rounds is another. Smith Cannot Wait…
Andoni Iraola held his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Nottingham Forest this week, and unsurprisingly, the Reds’ transfer business dominated the agenda. The Spaniard didn’t address Bradley Barcola by name, but confirmed the club are working on wing reinforcements, saying “we are trying to sign” a winger. He added: “I hope we can have good news soon but we are still not there”. REUTERS/Vincent Carchietta That reticence hasn’t stopped the Barcola deal moving in the background, with PSG and Liverpool now believed to have settled on a package worth £120m in total – £100m guaranteed plus a…

“Now we need to work on getting the WBO to lift its sanctions against Russia, and then we’ll be able to officially announce that the fight will take place on December 12 in Yekaterinburg,” Titov said, as reported by Darshan Desai. The agreement resolves negotiations between the promotional companies, but the championship issue remains open. The WBO has declined to sanction title fights in Russia during the war in Ukraine, applying that position when Bivol defended against Michael Eifert at the same venue on May 30. Bivol’s WBA and IBF belts were at stake against Eifert, while the WBO allowed…

(Queensberry) Sam Noakes found himself in the rare position of seeing his stock rise when he suffered the only loss of his career. The 29-year-old was defeated in a November 2025 war by the gifted Abdullah Mason over 12 frenetic rounds in Saudi Arabia. But the fight was so good that both fighters were applauded for their grit, courage, and their efforts. Noakes returned to tick over on a Top Tier-promoted show in May, but on Saturday is back in tough again, having been paired with Ukraine veteran Denys Berinchyk. While some might see it as a bout between Noakes,…
