Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora will fight today in a heavyweight showdown hyped as Chisora’s retirement bout, but could potentially see two careers end. Or none. It’s boxing.

Eddie Hearn shared more thoughts on his former fighter, Conor Benn, and Benn’s reported one-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, which has set off quite a beef between the two parties, who worked together for many years as promoter and fighter.

Luis Nery vs John Riel Casimero postponed

3150Fight has postponed its upcoming three-day fight series in Kyrgyzstan , citing “international instability” that led to logistical and travel issues. As best as I can tell through translation, the press release does not specify the instability, but the odds are pretty much 100% that it’s referring to the United States’ and Israel’s ongoing war […]
