Ryan Garcia was impressed with Sean O’Malley’s performance at UFC 292 — but also offered a warning to the 28-year-old.

Garcia was among many watching and […]

Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum believes a fight between Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia is very possible.

Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum set the record straight on where Vasiliy Lomachenko stands right now.

Canelo Alvarez still has no interest in a crossover fight with Jake Paul — but he did reserve some praise for the former Disney star.

Canelo Alvarez claims Dmitry Bivol asked for too much over a potential rematch.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn wasn’t impressed one bit by Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz. Paul earned a unanimous decision win over Diaz in their 10-round boxing match earlier this month.

Jermell Charlo could cause Canelo Alvarez plenty of problems according to boxing legend Bernard Hopkins.

UFC light heavyweight Anthony Smith was not impressed by the performance of Jake Paul or Nate Diaz.

With the adverse finding in Dillian Whyte’s anti-doping test, Joshua was in search of a new opponent as he still planned on competing at the O2 Arena in London this weekend. Ruiz would eventually put his name in the […]

Floyd Mayweather still has Terence Crawford as the best pound-for-pound boxer today over Naoya Inoue.

Having unified the bantamweight division in December, […]

UFC president Dana White was impressed with Nate Diaz’s performance against Jake Paul. Diaz suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Paul in their 10-round boxing match this past weekend.

Floyd Mayweather believes Errol Spence Jr. should move up not one weight class, but a couple.

Anthony Joshua will still be fighting this weekend. Finland’s Robert Helenius will be stepping in on short notice to fight the former unified heavyweight champion this Saturday at the O2 Arena in London.

It was Jake Paul’s right hand that’s led to so much of his success in his boxing career. However, against Nate Diaz, it was his left hook that proved to be the key to victory. Paul returned to winning ways after earning a wide unanimous decision win over the former UFC star in their 10-round […]
