The boxing world is pumped because Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao has finall been signed (and rightfully so). The boxing schedule grinds forward like Marcos Maidana at a buffet table (pic via friend of the site

Look, you can probably tell by the title of this post that it’s not a huge week of boxing (no offence to lightweight prospect Karl Dargan). There are two televised shows left in the week (we were a bit late with the schedule due to public holiday drinking commitments in Australia and missed the Fox […]

We’ve just come off an action packed week of boxing. Perhaps too action packed, judging by the photo of Deontay Wilder and Bermane Stiverne above (via

President Barack Obama today confirmed what many suspected: Deontay Wilder’s win over Bermane Stiverne for a meaningless heavyweight title on Saturday has ended the era of American decline. “I can finally look Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in the eye now that the best heavyweight in the world, excluding Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, […]

While the boxing world’s attention is focused on whether a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao might finally happen, Mayweather has announced that he will visit Australia at the end of the month. The world’s best boxer and highest paid athlete won’t be fighting of course, merely making promotional appearances in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Even leaving […]

Far be it from me to accuse heavyweight Deontay Wilder of having too high an opinion of himself. I’m just going to leave this picture of him driving a car with a picture of himself on the outside (while also singing a song about himself) here and you can draw your own conclusions (thanks to […]

In huge news for boxing and tracksuit aficionados, various outlets are reporting that Gary Shaw has merged his promotional company with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports. It looks like Shaw will take charge of Roc Nation’s boxing division while also bringing his stable of fighters into the Roc Nation fold. Shaw doesn’t have a lot of […]

In news that should surprise no one, arrest-prone welterweight Mike Alvarado has been arrested. The Denver native was booked on gun possession charges during a traffic stop, according to friend of the site David Greisman. It’s not great timing, as Alvarado is due to close out his trilogy with Brandon Rios in just three weeks. According to trainer […]

Happy New Year boxing fans. Here we are, back again like the people who line up in Times Square wearing adult diapers every year just to see the ball drop, grimly determined that it will be worth it and this year will be different from the last. Whoa, is that a bit of a downer […]

While the rest of us get ready for the holiday season, boxing isn’t taking a break. It’s doing the same (shit) job it’s been doing all year, with fights happening, but little to capture the imagination. Boxing, you get coal in your stocking. You’ve been a bad sport to follow. Anyway, read on to hear about what’s […]

That is me IRL above, because I am writing the boxing schedule from a beach in Mexico (OK, so it’s really Shannon Briggs being a goose, but you get the idea). Also worth celebrating is the fact that it’s a huge week of boxing, the last of the year. There are some seriously big names […]

This edition of the week’s boxing schedule comes to you from south of the border. I’m in Mexico City, where sadly there aren’t any fights on. Above is a vintage lucha libre poster (it was the best I could do, and it is pretty cool). Enough of me being obnoxious, though, there are plenty of fights […]

The above illustration comes from an 1885 book named Outing. It claims that, “There is no such thing as trickery in boxing, unless it is in attacking your man when and where he least expects and is unprepared for it.” I’m sure junior welterweight Ruslan Provodnikov, who fights this week, would agree with that. I’m […]
