The post-Crawford reconstruction of the super middleweight division is slowly getting into gear, as the WBO has ordered Hamzah Sheeraz to face Diego Pacheco for their now-vacant title.

Jake Paul was once again awful to watch against Anthony Joshua
Jake Paul got into the ring with Anthony Joshua last night, losing via sixth round knockout in an absurdly bad fight, one where Paul was running from the opening bell and never stopped until he got too tired, at which point he started trying to tackle Joshua. At no point did Paul, 28, seem like […]
