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…

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…

The Premier League is only one week in, but the picture is already beginning to change. The opening weekend gave us our first indication of which pre-season assumptions might hold up — and which may need revisiting. At this stage of Final One Standing, however, the objective is not to be clever for its own sake. It is to identify the fixtures in which probability, underlying data and matchup combine to give us the strongest edge. Four fixtures stand out this weekend. Some offer opportunities to attack perceived weaknesses, while others give us an early test of whether Gameweek 1…

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the original Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Harry Symeou of the Chronicles of a Gooner podcast to chat about Arsenal’s start to the season, and ways in which Mikel Arteta will keep his team motivated throughout the season as we look to defend/attack our Premier League title. Inevitably, the discussion moves to the transfer window and whether or not Arsenal will do anything before the close of the window. There’s a lot of chat about Julian Alvarez, but how realistic is any potential deal? It’s complicated for myriad reasons,…

Promoters are billing Sandoval versus Collazo as a Mexico versus Puerto Rico rivalry based on Sandoval’s Mexican heritage and Collazo’s Puerto Rican background. Sandoval was born in Montclair, California, and is an American boxer. The co-feature may carry greater sporting weight than the headline bout. Schofield and Bahdi are seeking their first world title, while Sandoval and Collazo have already produced championship performances against accomplished opposition. A trip to Japan last year ended with Sandoval taking the WBA and WBC belts from Kenshiro Teraji by split decision. He survived a fifth-round knockdown, handled 12 hard rounds and finished strongly enough…
