[ad_1] FRANK WARREN only has his eye on one rematch for Tyson Fury at the moment. On December 21, ‘The Gypsy King’ returns to Riyadh seven months after suffering his first defeat.

[ad_1] by Keith Idec AMONG the things Richardson Hitchins has said that make little sense to Liam Paro is that Hitchins has beaten a higher level of opposition than him. Paro pointed out during an interview with Boxing News that while Hitchins “hid” in the IBF’s rankings from a fight with “so-called boogeyman” Subriel Matias, the Australian southpaw happily took that title shot June 15. The Brisbane-based Paro’s gamble more
[ad_1] ISRAIL Madrimov’s next few months are already mapped out and the former WBA super-welterweight champion is not hanging around. Madrimov will meet WBC Interim 154-pound title holder Vergil Ortiz Jr on February 22 in Riyadh. That is provided he gets past an initial test, also in Riyadh, on December 21. That December clash, in just a few weeks’ time as part of the Usyk-Fury rematch undercard, is no small
[ad_1] LIAM PARO expects a much better version of Richardson Hitchins to challenge him Saturday night than the fighter Gustavo Lemos almost upset April 6 in Las Vegas. That said, Paro, 25-0 (15 KOs) doesn’t think Hitchins, 18-0 (7 KOs), deserves this shot at the Australian southpaw’s IBF junior welterweight title. Paro feels Lemos should’ve won their 12-round IBF elimination match at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. All three judges disagreed with

Handicappers have installed Davis as an unsightly 16-1 favorite to beat Roach in their WBA lightweight championship match March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Roach realizes plenty of people will be surprised if he upsets one of boxing’s biggest stars in a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view show
[ad_1] BEN WHITTAKER has vowed to “right that wrong” after what took place against Liam Cameron back in October. Their light heavyweight bout on the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undercard made its own headlines because of how the fight finished. After five competitive rounds the fight was over in the sixth when both men fell over the ropes injuring Whittaker’s ankle and neck in the process. The result was a technical
[ad_1] OSCAR Valdez insists that there are no excessive miles clogging up the career clock and he is prepared to enter the trenches once more. Valdez faces Emanuel Navarrete on December 7 for his fellow Mexican’s WBO super-featherweight title and Oscar knows what to expect following 12 intense rounds in their first meeting, which he lost by a unanimous decision. “I have a few more battles left in me.

[ad_1] BIG TIME boxing hits Waterford on Saturday, December 7, as Tyrone McKenna and Dylan Moran headline a bumper 16-fight card. That number might gently diminish as the week rolls on, but hopefully, most of the main protagonists get a runout. It’s been a while since a show of this magnitude has rolled into the unconventional fight regions of the island. Backed by state broadcaster RTE, Brian Peters previously ventured
