Well fight fans, what a great weekend for the Brits as now the world has a face to identify when someone says “British boxing,†and he is known as the “Hitman.†Add in to that Scott Harrison looked exciting, and the scene on the other side of the pond is definitely heating up. There are…
Hatton finally receives a chance to prove that he is not only a legitimate light welterweight of this generation, but the definitive light welterweight of his time as he takes on an all-time great in Kostya Tszyu. The fight is to take place in Hatton’s own MEN arena in England at the unusual hour of…
We British know our boxing, we love our boxing and so it is no surprise that IBF light welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu received an enthusiastic welcome from the British fight community. After all, Tszyu’s reputation stretches far beyond that of a world champion, the man is a boxing legend and his gracing of a British…
At their best, these two fighters are world-class forces in the featherweight division, at their worst; they have vulnerabilities that hardly make them a sure thing in any world class fight they contest.

Yes, believe it or not, there is in fact another fight taking place this weekend. Of course, you would be forgiven for being none the wiser. Tszyu-Hatton has cast an almighty shadow over what would ordinarily be boxing’s headline-grabber of the week; however, it is a credit to Harrison and Brodie that they do not…
“I knocked out the Cuban amateur star Felix Savon in Cuba, in two rounds (sparring session) you know, but nobody ever talks about that. Oh my God man! He could really hit hard you know (laughing).‖Samuel Peter on his readiness to step into the heavyweight big league. Akwaibom, Nigeria born Samuel Peter (23-0-0 with 20…
Kostya Tszyu is the king of the junior welterweights, but also one of the most inactive boxers in the richly talented division. Pure boxing ability, patience when picking his shots, arduous training and a power punching combined in one and you have Tszyu. Earning wins over Diosbelys Hurtado, a past his prime Julio Cesar Chavez,…
June 11, remember that date. Two big bills in two major U.S. cities on the same night at the same time. One, in the political capital of the U.S., is relying on the names of two great ex heavyweight champions to bring the fans in while the other bill, in Madison Square Garden, chooses to…
