Frank Warren, one of the most influential promoters in the world of boxing, has named his top five best boxers in the world's royal weight class. According to Warren, it looks as follows:
Bob Arum suggested in an interview with Sky Sports that a fight between Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) could be arranged for this year at a stadium in London.
Oscar De La Hoya 's relationship with Saul Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) has not been the best for a long time, and the former decided to explain the reason for their feud. According to the former world champion in six weight categories, it all started with his proposal to change the coach. As De La Hoya explains, he only wanted to help and bring freshness to the training of his boxer.
A rematch between outright super flyweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs) is set to take place at Boxing Night Las Vegas in June. According to RTE, the bout could be staged at the Sphere Arena and could be the first such martial arts event at the new $2.3 billion venue, which opened in September 2023.
Lawrence Okolie (19-1, 14 KOs) will prepare for his fight with Lukasz Ruzanski (15-0, 14 KOs) under new trainer Joe Gallagher. The Briton stopped working with Sugar Hill, with whom he trained before his last professional fight.
Trainer Don Charles, known primarily for his work with heavyweights, wants to try to get Tony Yoki 's (11-3, 9 KOs) career back on track. The Olympic heavyweight champion from Rio 2016 has a losing streak of three straight defeats on his record - to Bakole, Takam and Merhi. For the Frenchman, who will soon celebrate his 32nd birthday, this could be his last chance to get back into the serious game.
It has been officially confirmed that a WBC world bantamweight title fight will take place on May 24 in Rzeszów, Poland as part of KnockOut Boxing night. Reigning champion Lukasz Różański (15-0, 14 KOs) will face former world featherweight champion Lawrence Okolie (19-1, 14 KOs).
Manuel Charr (34-4, 20 KOs) suffered a left biceps injury while preparing for his fight for the WBA regular heavyweight belt against Kubrat Pulev (30-3, 14 KOs). The fight, originally scheduled for March 30, will now be rescheduled for another day. The new date of the event, organized in Sofia, has not yet been confirmed.
On April 20 at the boxing evening organized in the British Rotheram, British heavyweight Huey Fury (26-3, 15 KOs) will return to the ring after a 2.5-year break. The name of the opponent of the cousin of the famous "Gypsy King" is still unknown. Probably, the fight will be scheduled for six rounds.
"Beterbiev will beat the overrated Bivol!" - such a somewhat surprising statement was made by Alexander Gvozdik (20-1, 16 KOs), former WBC light heavyweight champion.
