British boxer Cyrus Pattinson opened up about his arduous journey back to the ring after facing serious health issues. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the pugilist

Pattinson suffered a loss to Conah Walker on August 23, 2024, which marked his last appearance in the ring.

However, the real challenge emerged months after his victory over Jorick Luisetto on September 22, 2023. During a training session in December of that year, he noticed a troubling issue with his vision.

Pattinson explained that his vision was misaligned, with images jumping from one eye to the other. The severity of the problem led him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with trauma behind the eye.This diagnosis not only prevented him from boxing but also prohibited him from engaging in any form of physical exercise.

During his interview with Sky Sports, Cyrus Pattinson revealed the difficulties he endured during his recovery. He also described how being unable to train impacted his mental health. According to him, losing the ability to train felt like being “in a car without wheels.”

“I was thinking: ‘Is this going to heal?’ I had to wear a patch for months. I didn’t know when I could take the patch off,” Pattinson revealed.

“Training’s always been a crutch,” Pattinson said.

Boxing and exercise have been fundamental pillars in his life, and losing them made him feel like he was also losing his purpose.

“It’s my calling at the end of the day. It’s something that I’m really good at and I’ve done all my life, and it’s a massive part of my identity,” added Pattinson.

Despite the challenges, Pattinson fully recovered after six months of treatment.Hamzah Sheeraz could face Carlos Adames in 2025

“I made a full recovery, got my license back. That was my worry as well,” expressed Pattinson.Now, more motivated than ever, Cyrus Pattinson is ready to step back into the ring.

This Friday, November 22, 2024, he will face Andrei Antonov in Newcastle. The card will also feature Harlem Eubank’s debut at welterweight against Nurali Erdogan.

“This has been the hardest fight of my life,” confessed Pattinson.

“No anesthetic to numb the pain or to slow your mind down. You deal with it every day,” Pattinson stated.

“There’s probably not really anyone that knows the full ins and outs of where you’ve been mentally, spiritually, and emotionally,” Pattinson noted.

Cyrus Pattinson affirms that this comeback holds special significance for him. For the British boxer, a true fighter is someone who overcomes setbacks and comes back stronger.

Despite his return, Pattinson isn’t focused on titles or long-term goals. The British boxer expressed gratitude to everyone who supported him during his recovery.

With his return to the ring, Cyrus Pattinson aims not only to revive his career but also to inspire others with his story of resilience.

Jake Paul has been the beneficiary of some lucrative proposals in the days that have followed his victory against Mike Tyson, although the most eye-catching offer of all came from reigning IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, who is yet to find an opponent for his upcoming fight in Riyadh. Yet, despite the allure of the opportunity to pull off the upset of the century and win the coveted title, Jake Paul has turned Dubois down.

‘The Problem Child’ comfortably defeated a faded version of ‘Iron Mike’ last Friday in one of the most watched events in recent memory, although it was Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano who truly stole the show prior to an underwhelming main-event.

Nevertheless, Paul-Tyson was a monumental financial success for the headliners and the clash has caught the attention of boxers around the planet, with Paul arguably the most sought-after payday in the sport.

At present, undisputed light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and current WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena make up two of the three active title-holders to have called for a showdown with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, but it is Daniel Dubois’ offer that has sparked the most outrage.

Shortly after his fight with the once ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, Paul received a message from the hard-hitting Brit, offering the polarising social media sensation a shot for ‘the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world’ – a challenge that seemed to be accepted at the time.

However, Jake Paul has since had a change of thought and will now not pursue a challenge for the heavyweight world title, as his manager Nakisa Bidarian told Sky Sports that Paul’s interest is elsewhere as for now.

“When Jake got that DM, he sent it to me and said: ‘How funny is this, how the world has turned.'”

“Jake’s feedback to me was I want to do that fight. Not now. But I want to do that fight,”Deontay Wilder challenge responded to by Francis Ngannou

“To be a world champion at cruiserweight, he wants to do that. The other is to test the limits of expectations. Test the limits of what’s possible.”

“It isn’t about the money. He’s made lots of money from the time he was 18 years old. It’s really about disruption.

“It’s really about doing things that make you say: ‘Wow, that really happened.’ That’s what excites us.”

Instead Paul is poised to drop back down to the cruiserweight division and adopt a more natural weight for his next outing.

Although, a comparably less competitive bridgerweight division could provide the 27-year-old with the perfect opportunity to capture a world title and silence his doubters in the future.

Meanwhile, Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren has explained that an opponent will be announced imminently for his ‘Triple D’s’ second title defence and refused to rule out a meeting with Paul down the line.

Chris Eubank Sr. is notorious for his eccentric style and meticulous articulation of vocabulary, as well as his dedication to both the understanding of and abiding by the ‘warrior’s code’. Now, Eubank has taken his ethical approach in a more literary sense and outlined which fellow fighters he would choose to have his back in war.

Whilst Eubank was an intriguing character outside of the ring, he was a ruthless yet artistic machine out of it, famously maintaining a never-say-die attitude throughout his career and only ever being stopped in his final professional contest.

Wins over the likes of Nigel Benn and Michael Watson were a testament to the gritty but beautiful style of Eubank, forever showing a willingness to fight through the fire and the pain to get his hand raised over that of his rivals.

Despite hanging up the gloves in 1998, 58-year-old Eubank remains as one of the most recognisable figures in British boxing and is a name that the new generation of fight fans have grown attached to, with the help of numerous viral clips of Eubank post-retirement.Here is 85 seconds of Chris Eubank being incredible on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Now Eubank seeks to capitalize on his superstardom with the youth of today and has begun a YouTube channel, where he answers questions from the public.

In the maiden episode of ‘Call Chris Eubank’, the two-division world champion responded to a fans’ question of which three fighters he would like to have his back in war.

“The first person that I would have at my back is James Toney. He is an energy which has no harness. This is a very, scary man, who doesn’t use reason, and that is the only weapon we use, he doesn’t use this particular weapon.

“He will eat you. He will cook you. He will eat you in public, this guy. He has to have been one of the greatest middleweights of all time.”Hamzah Sheeraz could face Carlos Adames in 2025

“He is a beautiful example to choose of how not to behave, but if I were going to choose someone to go into battle, I wouldn’t need anybody else other than him, he is like me – he is a monster, only I am a kind of gentle man.

“Obviously, Mike Tyson. He has the same warrior spirit which doesn’t understand yield. We yield for nobody, no one.

“I watched that man in Memphis, Tennessee fight Lennox Lewis and listened to him say in the corner ‘I cannot fight this man, he is too big, he is too powerful’ and then got up and went out for the eighth round and allowed Lennox Lewis a clean kill.

“That is a man of heart, of substance, of integrity.

“Who is the third person that I would have with me in battle? It’s actually Floyd Mayweather, it is not for his fighting ability, it is for his strategic ability, being able to see how a fight can play out and see it before it happens – then do it.

“If it is an earthly war, I want to go for Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he knows.”

O’Shaquie Foster has become a name synonymous with fire fights over the last couple of years and the American now appears to be the top player at super-featherweight. However, should the WBC interim clash that is being proposed be made, the victor is sure to push the champion to the limit.

Foster outpointed Rey Vargas for the then vacant WBC super-featherweight title back in February 2023 but it was eight months later where ‘Ice Water’ truly earned respect, knocking out Eduardo ‘Rocky’ Hernandez in the final round of his first defence whilst behind on the scorecards in a fight of the year contender.⚡️O’Shaquie Foster stopping Eduardo ‘Rocky’ Hernandez in round 12 away from home in Cancun.

The Texan would made one additional defence of his 130lb crown against Abraham Nova before being on the wrong side of the most controversial decision of 2024, losing a split-decision to Robson Conceicao after appearing to win almost every round.

Thankfully, Foster got an instant chance at redemption and last month he was able to regain the super-featherweight throne with a closer-fought split-decision victory over the Brazilian, marking a run of five incredibly arduous contests for the 31-year-old and that run is showing no signs of coming to an end.

A clash between WBC #2 ‘Rocky’ Hernandez and former WBC featherweight champion Mark Magsayo (WBC #3) was mentioned by Filipino Media’s Anthony Joaquin Arieta on social media, with members of both teams then lobbying for what would likely be a showdown for the WBC interim title, each claiming to have sent the other an offer.Where do we sign???

“Matchroom Boxing sent an offer to Magsayo’s team not long ago, waiting on response.”

Both Fernandez and Gibbons were also seen to be applying pressure on the WBC to order the contest at their convention in Hamburg next month.

Although, Magsayo does have a fight date pencilled in for December 14th in California against an unnamed opponent, after fighting just once in 2024 thus far.

Two-time featherweight champion Josh Warrington has been the fighting pride of Leeds for around a decade now, but it seemed as though his career had come to an end after a recent defeat at Wembley Stadium. However, at 34-years-old, Warrington has decided that he still has enough remaining in the tank to continue to compete.

Fighting regularly at the First Direct Arena in his hometown, Warrington took the traditional domestic route to superstardom by defeating Martin Lindsay and Davide Dieli for the respective British and European featherweight titles back in 2014.

After maintaining his undefeated record and rising up the world rankings, ‘The Leeds Warrior’ secured a dream world title shot with a showdown against Wales’ IBF champion Lee Selby at Elland Road- home of Warrington’s beloved Leeds United F.C.

In front of around 25,000, Warrington and Selby went to war in a 126lb classic with the home fighter coming out on top, before following up that performance with impressive title defences against Carl Frampton, Kid Galahad and Sofiane Takoucht.What a performance. What a fight 👏

Their rematch was cut short by a head clash, but Warrington was able to regain his IBF title with a stoppage win in a rematch against Spain’s Kiko Martinez in 2022, before losing the belt to Luis Alberto Lopez nine months later.

Since then, Warrington has twice challenged for world honours and been unsuccessful each time, losing to Leigh Wood for the WBA featherweight title and Anthony Cacace for the IBO super-featherweight trinket, leaving his gloves in the ring under the Wembley arch after the latter to insinuate that this would be his final appearance.Eddie Hearn provides major update on Chris Eubank Jr Conor Benn fight

Although, in an interview with DAZN, Warrington displayed the same grit outside of the ring that he notoriously showed inside of it, refusing to call it a day despite one win in his last six contests.

“I laid my gloves down in the ring, [but] it felt like a rash decision. One of my friends, [kickboxer] Liam Harrison did something similar.

“I thought, with my frustrations that I couldn’t get going [in the fight] that maybe it’s not there. I’m always critical. I can be winning a fight and think I’m not doing good enough.

“After analysing it, and watching back with my team, I still think there’s enough there to compete at the highest level, and to win as well. Physically, I feel good.

“I do feel that if my mental side had been good [against Cacace], it might have been a different outcome. I can’t complain about it, because what has happened has happened.

“I believe if it’s gone physically, it’s gone. You can’t get that back. But the mental side can be changed. I’ve pinpointed the reasons why I wouldn’t let the shots fall as I usually do.”

It is assumed that Warrington will return in the super-featherweight division after difficulties making the featherweight limit in the past, as he prepares for a possible long-craved U.S. debut or a last dance in front of his Leeds faithful.

Whilst the majority of the talk last weekend was surrounding that incredibly controversial fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor as the co-main event provided fans with another epic. Despite losing to Tailor twice already, no one would say no to Serrano having the opportunity to fight the Irishwomen again. Now the Puerto Rican has answered some of the key questions regarding a potential historic trilogy.

In what was another razor-close fight, Serrano was on the wrong side of the scorecards yet again, with all three judges ruling the bout 95-94 (x3) in Taylor’s favour.

As a result of the Netflix commentary team, the audience in the arena, and Serrano’s team, she felt she was robbed of a victory and she took to her Twitter/ X account to publish her discontent.

Nevertheless, she returned to social media to retract these claims, congratulating Taylor on her victory.

Moreover, after labelling the bout another huge step in women’s boxing, Serrano has called for a trilogy and speaking to GQ Sports has answered some key questions regarding the fight.

Speaking on whether there will be another two years until the pair face off again, she said, “Definitely not, because I don’t have two more years in me to wait. Listen, I’m the fighter. It’s up to my team with the negotiations, but I’m up for it. I know the fans want to see it again and I’m up for giving great shows.”Sunny Edwards claims he can “definitely outbox” Galal Yafai

She was then asked where the fight could take place.

“I’m ready to fight. We fought in New York. We fought on neutral ground. If it makes money, it makes sense. Or if it makes sense, it makes money.”

Finally, she was asked about the possibility of there being three-minute rounds instead of the standard two minutes for women’s fights.

“If I were to have the extra minute in both fights, it would’ve been a totally different fight.”

After providing two of the best fights seen in a boxing ring, let alone a women’s boxing ring, the entire boxing world would most likely love to see the rivals face off for a final third time.

Next Saturday night Sunny Edwards and Galal Yafai clash at the BP Pulse Arena in Birmingham in an enticing flyweight clash which could have huge ramifications on both of their careers. Despite the fight from the outset being incredibly tough to call, Edwards has backed himself to do a job on his opponent.

Former IBF World Champion Edwards has wanted to fight Yafai throughout the entirety of his career after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist was selected to go to the Rio Olympics ahead of him in 2016 – this was after Edwards had beaten him in the amateurs in 2015.

The counter-punching, slick 5’3 man from Surrey lost his IBF title in 2023 after his shot at greatness against Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez ultimately failed as he was stopped in the ninth round.

He did return to the ring in June when he defeated Adrian Curiel by a unanimous technical decision, following a cut to Edwards preventing the fight from carrying on after an accidental clash of heads.

Yafai is only eight fights into his professional career after picking up his Gold meal in 2020.

He has stopped his last two opponents impressively, which could pose problems to Edwards after he struggled to deal with ‘Bams’ heavy hands.

Moreover, a win for him would provide a huge springboard to kick on in his career.Jai Opetaia and Gilberto Ramírez could unify cruiserweight titles

Nevertheless, Edwards is confident that this will not happen as has backed himself to make the fight easier for him than many are expecting.

He spoke on Matchroom Boxing’s new documentary named ‘Make the Days Count’.

“I think as long as I stay disciplined with my feet I can hurt him, I can definitely outbox him.”

“I think if I lose this fight it’s completely on my doing. I think that it is there for me to win.”

Edwards has said that the result of this fight is in his hands, and he also has the power to hurt his opponent.

Whilst he is only 28 years old, a defeat to Edwards would result in a long way back to the level he once was at.

Hamzah Sheeraz has become one of the stars in British boxing after delivering many superb performances on the biggest of stages. The 25-year-old middleweight is already on the cusp of becoming a world champion, and he has now provided an update on why he has chosen to fight WBC champion Carlos Adames over IBF and WBO champion Janibek Alimkhanuly.

2024 has been an incredible year for the heavy-hitting Brit, he has produced three stunning knockout victories against Liam Williams, Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams, and most recently Tyler Denny.

Not only have has the boxing world been impressed by this, the man making all the big fights happen Turki Alalshikh has shown just how much he values Sheeraz by making him an ambassador of Riyadh Season.

Sheeraz now sits as the number one middleweight in the UK and world honours are calling his name.

After it was confirmed that he would return on a proposed February 22nd card on another instalment of Riyadh Season, it looked like he was set to fight Janibek Alimkhanuly.

However after purse bids were set for November 18th, he withdrew from the fight.

It was later revealed that this was because he had agreed terms to fight Carlos Adames instead.

Sheeraz has now spoken out on why he did this on his Twitter/ X account.Hamzah Sheeraz could face Carlos Adames in 2025

“I’ve been saying this for ages. It got ordered after I beat ammo Williams. One step at a time IA”

He has said that this fight was always the plan after it got ordered following his victory over Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams in June.

Adames poses a strong record of 24-1-0, with his only defeat coming in 2021 against Brahian Jose Medina.

Nevertheless, if the fight does take place next, Sheeraz will enter the ring as the favourite.

It is most likely that if the fight happens, it will feature on a February 22nd card, headlined by Daniel Dubois.

Future super fights are there to be made against unified champion Janibek Alimkhanuly and WBA champion Erislandy Lara.

Martin Bakole may well be one of the most dangerous fighters in the heavyweight division at the moment, however, it seems like none of his rivals are rushing to fight him. Nevertheless, his promoter Ben Shalom has said that they will not be able to do this much longer as by next year the man from Congo will be a world champion.

Bakole is coming off an impressive stoppage victory against fellow heavyweight contender Jared Anderson.

His promoter Ben Shalom has on many occasions labelled him as the “most avoided man in the division”.

However, the 6’6 powerhouse does not possess the global name that some of his rivals do, therefore a fight with him offers more risk than it does reward.

Nevertheless, it looked like he would be facing rival Agit Kabayel in a final eliminator bout for the IBF title until the German pulled out of purse bids – which may have been due to an opportunity arising to fight champion Daniel Dubois.

As a result, it is now expected that Zhilei ‘Big Bang’ Zhang will assume Kabayel’s position in the final eliminator.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Boxxer’s Ben Shalom has revealed what he expects Zhang to do and where he expects Bakole to be in a year.

“Agit Kabayel pulled out of the purse bids. He didn’t want the fight. Zhilei Zhang has now been ordered. We expect him to turn the fight down too.”

“They can run but they can’t hide. Martin is in a great position. He will fight for the mandatory spot against whoever is willing to step up and then fight for the IBF World Title.”Tommy Fury and Darren Till will fight in the heavyweight division

“There is a reason people don’t want to fight Martin. We’ve all heard the sparring stories.”

“He is the bogeyman of the division, but his time is coming and once he becomes IBF World Champion, he can rule the division for a long time.”

“Martin Bakole will be world champion in the next 12 months,” Shalom said.”

“He has a clear route to the IBF World Title so people can’t avoid him any longer. He’s coming for Daniel Dubois.”

“It’s an exciting time for Martin. He is one fight away from boxing for the IBF World Title.”

Shalom has said that he also expects Zhang to pull out of a fight with Bakole, just like Kabayel did.

Moreover, the UK promoter said that he is going to be crowned world champion in 2025.

A fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn was once a fantasy, however, now there seems to be a real possibility that the pair will reignite their father’s rivalry and put it all on the line. Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that this fight is edging closer to being made.

A fight between the two rivals was set to take place in October 2022, but after Benn tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug Clomiphene, the fight was cancelled and ‘The Destroyer’ was suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC).

Now two years on, Benn has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP), but he is yet to be given his boxing license back from the BBBofC.

Despite not having a license to fight in the UK, Benn has fought twice in the States, however, both performances were rather underwhelming.

Eubank Jr after avenging his defeat to Liam Smith, has recently knocked out Kamil Szeremeta in Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Beterbiev-Bivol.

After the fight, Benn stormed the ring demanding the pair finally get the fight on, which was comically refereed by footballer Neymar Jr.

Eubank accepted, and most importantly Turki Alalshikh revealed that he would look to put the fight on.

The rumoured February 22nd card could present the perfect opportunity for the pair to finally fight.

Today Eddie Hearn has revealed where they are with this fight.Main card and date announced for David Benavidez vs. David Morrell

Speaking on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel, Hearn said he is “very hopeful” about a deal being done.

”I think if everyone’s sensible, proactive, and just park the egos for a moment, then I think we can get that fight made.”

Hearn has said that he thinks the fight can be made, as long as both teams co-operate well.

A potential fight on February 22nd could potentially be a reason why Daniel Dubois’ return fight has not been announced yet, as Frank Warren confirmed that ‘Triple D’ would return on this date.

It has now been confirmed that former UFC star Darren Till will be the opponent for Tommy Fury’s comeback to professional boxing, as both men chase lucrative showdowns with Jake Paul and KSI. However, with just nine weeks until fight night, fans may be surprised to hear Till’s current weight.

Fury handed both Paul and KSI their lone career defeats last year and therefore has a target on his back as each of the YouTuber-turned-boxers hope to avenge their respective losses in the future

However, an injury to the 10-0 cruiserweight saw Fury sidelined throughout 2024, unable to capitalize on what would surely be another mammoth payday against either of his former opponents.

Now that his rehabilitation has been complete, it has been announced that Fury will return in a clash with loudmouthed mixed martial artist Darren Till, who makes his professional debut.

Despite fighting in the UFC as a welterweight (170lbs) and middleweight (185lbs), Fury-Till will be an eight-round contest in the heavyweight division, according to The Stomping Ground’s Charlie Parsons, although alternate reports suggest a 205lb catchweight.Tommy Fury vs Darren Till is set to take place at heavyweight, Fury has revealed.

“Yeah, I was p***ed [drunk] last night, I was f***ing blathered to be honest with you.

“No, [I am not going to stop drinking because] Tommy is that s**t that I don’t need to.”

As for Fury, he weighed-in at 182.5lbs for his most recent outing against KSI and will assumably pile on the pounds to be better suited to a 205lb catchweight or heavyweight bout.

Matchroom Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn has been teasing the announcement of a plethora of signings in recent weeks, with fans left guessing as to whom may sign the on the dotted line to work with the Brit. Now, one of the most high-profile of these fighters has been confirmed, with Hearn hopeful of bringing a former unified champion back into the world title picture.

A couple of weeks ago, Eddie Hearn beamed with delight as he revealed that he was on the verge of confirming a host of signings for his promotional outfit, teasing that he would be set to begin working with multiple former undisputed champions in an interview with The Stomping Ground.

“Two or three Olympians, former world champions, former undisputed world champions – a lot to come.”

Since then, sources have confirmed that Scotland’s former undisputed super—lightweight conqueror Josh Taylor represents one of these names, although the other fighter remained a mystery.

Yet, Keith Idec has today revealed that Australia’s George Kambosos (21-3), whom is still debated as either a former unified or undisputed lightweight champion, has signed a co-promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing and DiBella Entertainment, and that he will now campaign in the super-lightweight division, as per Boxing News.Derek Chisora vs. Jarrell Miller announcement imminent with fight date and location touted

“Boxing News has learned that Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing has partnered with DiBella Entertainment, Kambosos’ longtime promoter, to represent the former unified lightweight champion.

“Australia’s Kambosos is expected to move up to the super lightweight division for his next fight as well, which will take place on an undetermined date in February at an Australian site to be chosen in Brisbane or Gold Coast.”

Matchroom do have skin in the 140lb game at present, representing current IBF champion Liam Paro, who is also an Aussie, as well as the likes of title hopefuls Richardson Hitchins and Jack Catterall.

Although, if Kambosos is serious about becoming a two-division world champion then he will need to improve upon his recent performances, where a controversial split-decision victory over Maxi Hughes represents his only win in his last four outings.

British heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora has had a resurgence as of late, but that has not stood in the way of his plans to retire in two fights’ time. After searching for a suitable dance-partner for his penultimate bout, ‘Del Boy’ appears to have chosen loudmouthed American Jarrell Miller, with their encounter reportedly a done deal.

Chisora has been ever-present in the heavyweight division’s world rankings for well over a decade, twice challenging for the coveted WBC crown but coming up short on both occasions against Vitali Klitschko and Tyson Fury.

That 2022 defeat to ‘The Gypsy King’ led to calls for Chisora to hang up the gloves, marking a fourth loss in five outings for the Zimbabwean-born contender, but the now 40-year-old chose to ignore those suggestions.

Instead, Chisora ploughed on and got back to winning ways with a unanimous-decision win against Gerald Washington, which earnt him a shot at declining countryman Joe Joyce back in July, in a meeting where many fans feared for Chisora’s wellbeing.

Yet, despite original concerns that the clash was a mismatch, Chisora was able to spring the upset and secure back-to-back wins for the first time since 2019 – encouraging him to continue in the sport and hopefully reach his goal of 50 professional contests.

Meanwhile, Jarrell Miller has returned to the big stage following the completion of his three-and-a-half-year ban that came following a positive drugs test during the build-up to his grudge match affair with Anthony Joshua.

After three wins within twelve months, Miller went to war with Daniel Dubois and gave a good account of himself before being halted with seconds remaining on the clock, in a performance that has aged well.Harlem Eubank wants to face Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney

The 36-year-old then returned to face former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. in August and was unfortunate to not get the decision on the judges’ scorecards, who ruled the fight as a draw.

With a history of being able to sell fights to the public and having not registered an official win since March 2023, Miller seemed an ideal opponent for Chisora and it has now been reported that their showdown is almost finalised for February 8th, as per esteemed boxing journalist Dan Rafael.Per sources, heavyweight fight between Derek Chisora and Jarrell Miller is being finalized and would take place Feb. 8 in Manchester, England, and headline a Queensberry card.

“Per sources, heavyweight fight between Derek Chisora and Jarrell Miller is being finalised and would take place Feb. 8 in Manchester, England, and headline a Queensberry card. Hard to see this not being a fun fight. #boxing”

Chisora-Miller is expected to take place at the newly-opened Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, with the heavyweight’s poised to headline the second boxing event to be staged at the venue, after Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis topped the bill at the first.

IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (26-0) has emerged as the poster boy of the division over the last couple of years, scoring a trifecta of showstopping wins against British world title hopefuls. Now, after four consecutive outings on the road, the Aussie is set to return home for what will be a first world title defence in his home country.

Little was known of Opetaia when he jumped into a world title challenge against well-respected IBF champion Mairis Briedis back in 2022 but, despite having to deal with a broken jaw, the stern-faced southpaw was able to pull off the upset and dethrone ‘The Latvian Punisher’.

However, complications with the IBF then saw Opetaia stripped of the title prior to his meeting with Ellis Zorro on the fabled ‘Day of Reckoning’ card in Riyadh, although a first-round knockout understandably caught the attention of Saudi boxing powerhouse Turki Al-Alshikh.Jai Opetaia KO1 Ellis Zorro pic.twitter.com/yCV0nswJaV

Confusingly, Opetaia and Briedis then went to war again in a rematch for the vacant IBF strap just months later and once again it was Opetaia who claimed the unanimous-decision win, before following up that victory with a technical knockout of Jack Massey in a third successive appearance at the Kingdom Arena.

Whilst fans are hopeful that Opetaia could attempt to become an undisputed cruiserweight champion during 2025 and collide with unified champion Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, the IBF have ordered a showdown between the undefeated Australian and his mandatory challenger, Huseyin Cinkara (22-0).

First reported by The Courier Mail, Opetaia will return to the scene of his first world title win and face the unbeaten German veteran at the Gold Coast Convention Centre on Wednesday January 8th.👑 of the cruisers is back!

The bout between Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach, initially set for December 14 at the Toyota Center in Houston, has been postponed. Sources close to Premier Boxing Champions (PBC)

The Toyota Center in Houston was ruled out for the new date due to a Houston Rockets game scheduled that evening.

A close source indicated that the Barclays Center in Brooklyn might be the chosen venue. This arena hosted Gervonta Davis’ knockout victory over Rolando Romero in 2022.

Similarly, according to sources close to Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), the fight is set to take place on March 1 as a PBC Pay-Per-View (PPV) event on Prime Video.In a recent interview with Boxing Scene, Davis’ promoter, Leonard Ellerbe, confirmed that the venue announcement is imminent.

“Stay tuned. Lamont Roach is still the opponent. It’s all about timing. It’s Tank over everybody. None of these guys can f*** with Tank, not one of them,” Ellerbe stated.

“It’s just a matter of time. Line them up, and Tank is going to knock each of them down, whomever that might be,” he added.Gervonta Davis holds an undefeated record of 30 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws. Out of his 30 victories, 28 have come by knockout.

In his last fight, Roach secured an eighth-round TKO victory over Feargal McCrory on June 28, 2024, in Washington, D.C.

Notably, the organization granted Roach special permission to move up in weight and challenge Davis for the lightweight title.

The Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. a logical choice given Roach’s hometown and its proximity to Davis’ birthplace, Baltimore, was also ruled out.

The venue is booked for a college basketball game and an NHL match on March 1.

Despite the changes, anticipation for the fight continues to build. Gervonta Davis aims to cement his legacy, while Lamont Roach aspires to secure one of the biggest wins of his career.

In a recent interview on BoxNation’s YouTube channel, Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), revealed key details about Hamzah Sheeraz’s future. The young British boxer is reportedly set to face WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames.

This news comes after negotiations for a fight between Sheeraz and Janibek Alimkhanuly, the unified WBO and IBF champion, were canceled.

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) had mandated this fight, but purse bids were postponed several times.

Eventually, WBO President Gustavo Olivieri confirmed that Sheeraz and his team withdrew from the negotiations.During the interview with BoxNation, Mauricio Sulaiman explained that the matchup between Hamzah Sheeraz and Carlos Adames had previously been ordered by the WBC.

This happened before the WBO mandated the fight between Sheeraz and Alimkhanuly.

“I believe Sheeraz will fight for the WBC title,” Sulaiman stated.

If finalized, this bout could take place on February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This would mark a new addition to the growing calendar of major boxing events in the Middle East.Dillian Whyte teases trilogy fight with Derek Chisora

For Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-0), who is just 25 years old, this fight would represent his debut in a world title match.

Carlos Adames (24-1-0), on the other hand, enters with a strong record as WBC champion and has proven to be a formidable challenger.

The official confirmation of the event is still pending. Similarly, Sheeraz and his team have yet to make a formal announcement or comment on the matter.

However, what is confirmed by promoter Frank Warren is that Hamzah Sheeraz will challenge for a world title in February.

In a recent interview with Louis Hart from , Natasha Jonas

Jonas, the IBF welterweight world champion, appeared cautious yet optimistic about what could be a career-defining fight in women’s boxing.

Louis Hart, discussing the possibility of the two facing off in the future, mentioned that Lauren Price had indicated the bout could be next for both fighters, provided they overcome their respective challenges in December.

Natasha Jonas confirmed this, stating she has already signed to fight Price.

“Yeah, it’s the fight that I’ve signed to do,” Jonas affirmed.

However, she made it clear that she wouldn’t get ahead of herself before both fighters fulfill their commitments in December.

“We both have to go out and do what we need to do,” Jonas remarked.Natasha Jonas also clarified that, despite the rumors, she already has a signed contract for the potential fight, though she is unsure about Price’s arrangements.

“I don’t know what she’s contracted, but it’s definitely contracted for me”, said Jonas.

Louis: “From what you’re saying, is there an agreement for that fight to be next, assuming both get through in December?”.

“For me, yes, there is”, Jonas affirmed.

Unfazed, Jonas noted that she is focused on living in the moment and prioritizing her current opponent.

“I just have to focus on what’s in front of me. Like I’ve been saying, living in the moment, I just have to deal with what’s in front of me”, Jonas concluded.Dillian Whyte teases trilogy fight with Derek Chisora

On December 14, both Jonas and Price are set to appear at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre.

Jonas will face Ivana Habazin, the WBC world champion, in a highly anticipated title unification bout.

Meanwhile, Lauren Price, the undefeated WBA welterweight champion, will defend her title against Colombian fighter Bexcy Mateus.

BOXXER founder and CEO Ben Shalom emphasized the significance of this fight for Natasha Jonas, noting that the Liverpool native aims to cement her legacy as one of the best of her generation.

In his statements, Shalom suggested that a win for Jonas in December could pave the way for a bout against Lauren Price, potentially in 2025.

“If Natasha and Lauren both win on December 14, it will set the stage for a massive ‘Battle Of Britain’ world title unification match-up next year,” Shalom said.

A potential showdown between Jonas and Price for the world title unification would generate significant excitement among boxing fans.

Thus, the prospect of a fight between Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price shapes up to be one of the most anticipated matchups for next year.

However, both must first overcome their respective December 14 bouts, which will serve as a crucial test for their aspirations as champions.

British boxer Harlem Eubank will debut in the welterweight division on Friday, November 22, 2024. His opponent will be French fighter Nurali Erdogan, and the match will take place at the Walker Activity Dome in Newcastle, UK. This bout will mark a milestone in Eubank’s career, as he seeks to establish himself as a serious contender in the division.

Originally, Eubank planned to face the talented Adam Azim. This fight was scheduled for June 2024 but was postponed due to an injury sustained by Azim.

With the cancellation of that match, Eubank has been forced to explore new options to continue his rise in professional boxing.Despite the fight against Adam Azim not taking place, Harlem Eubank’s ambitions remain unchanged.

In a recent interview with Boxing Scene, the undefeated British boxer mentioned two of the biggest names in boxing: Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

Both fighters are top contenders in the super lightweight division, and Eubank has set his sights on them for the upcoming year.

“It’s about going in there and making a statement whoever it’s against and setting up them big fights,” Eubank stated.

“Obviously, the division is hot at 147lbs and 140lbs in America and domestically. We want all the big fights,” Eubank added.

In his statement, Eubank emphasized the importance of facing the big names in today’s boxing.5 world champions Jake Paul could fight next

“The Garcias, the Haneys, the guys over there in America making noise. We want all those fights too,” Eubank said.Furthermore, Eubank highlighted his aspirations to reach world title contention in the near future.

“We’re working towards world title contention, world title winners,” Eubank mentioned.

Finally, Eubank made it clear that his main goal is to take on fights that will bring him closer to the major figures in boxing and excite the public.

“We want the fights that push us closer to them. We’re open to all the big fights that get people excited in 2025. That’s what I’m looking forward to,” Eubank concluded.

With his upcoming welterweight debut, Eubank is focused on establishing himself as a serious opponent to challenge Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney in the future.

However, Harlem Eubank must first overcome his fight against Frenchman Nurali Erdogan this Friday in Newcastle.

Following the victory of Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez over Chris Billam-Smith, the entire boxing world has called for a unification fight between ‘Zurdo’ and IBF champion Jai Opetaia. Now Opetaia’s promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that this is the fight they are looking to make next.

Last weekend, Zurdo outclassed Billam-Smith to unify the division, adding the WBO belt to the WBA belt he had claimed already.

It was an impressive performance as whilst he was the pre-fight favourite, many thought CBS’ size may cause him some difficulties.

However, he in fact out-fought his opponent, landing some beautiful body shots to slow down the 6’3 Brit.

The Mexican confirmed after the fight that he wants to unify and fight the very best that the division has to offer.

Hearn has said many times that Opetaia is undoubtedly the best in the division currently, proven by his most recent performances.

In his latest outing, the Australian was levels about Jack Massey, which whilst he was expected to win, sent out a statement to the division.

Moreover, wins over Mairis Briedis and Ellis Zorro have cemented his position as the best that the 200lb division has to offer.

Therefore, a fight with Zurdo makes perfect sense.5 world champions Jake Paul could fight next

Zurdo’s promoter, Eddie Hearn speaking to Ariel Helmani and Ade Oladipo on DAZN has confirmed this fight should be next.

”It’s the best fight in the division and it’s a must make fight.”

”As good as Zurdo is, Opetaia’s a different animal.”

Hearn has said this fight must be made.

Furthermore, he has said that whilst Zurdo possesses incredible traits as a fighter, ultimately Opetaia will prove too good.

This fight could take place on a Riyadh Season card, as it is one of the best fights in boxing and Opetaia has fought on these cards in his last three fights.

The winner of this fight may then fight WBC champion Norair Mikaeljan in a unification bout, or there is a possibility that both Zurdo and Opetaia could move up to heavyweight.

During his break from mixed martial arts, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou ventured into boxing with mixed but significant results. Despite losses to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, he managed to establish himself as a profitable figure in the sport, generating millions in revenue.

His latest boxing match, against Joshua, ended in a devastating knockout in the second round. However, Ngannou made it clear that his journey in the ring is far from over.

Among Ngannou’s potential future opponents, Deontay Wilder, known as “The Bronze Bomber,” emerges as an enticing option.

The former WBC heavyweight world champion, Wilder, recently expressed his interest in facing the Cameroonian.

Currently, Wilder is going through a tough streak of losses and an injury that have slowed his rise.Speaking to TMZ Sports, Deontay Wilder confirmed his willingness to make the fight happen.

“Yeah, that’s a combination station. I’m still looking to get in there, in the mix, and talk about it,” Wilder said. This interest has heightened expectations for a potential showdown between the two fighters.

At 39 years old, Wilder is seeking to bounce back after consecutive losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

These defeats, unexpected to many, make a clash with Ngannou even more intriguing, as both fighters

It is worth noting that Deontay Wilder revealed in a recent interview that he fought Parker and Zhang with a broken arm.

On the other hand, 38-year-old Ngannou does not rule out the possibility of balancing his career between MMA and boxing.

After his successful debut in the PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants, defeating Renan Ferreira on October 19, 2024, the Cameroonian has stated that he wishes to explore more opportunities in both disciplines.

The idea of facing Deontay Wilder seems especially appealing to Ngannou, who remains intrigued by the challenges professional boxing can offer him.
