    Default Which daily has the best boxing coverage?

    Which newspaper, broadsheet or tabloid has the best Boxing coverage? I am interested because The Times sport section used to have brilliant incisive articles written by Hugh Mcilvanney but he very rarely contributes any more due to old age and ill health. Ron Lewis still writes sometimes but even that is sporadic. The coverage that Boxing gets generally from the mainstream media seems not to bear much relation to it's popularity as a whole and I am bored of Premiership football and horse racing dominating the sport pages. Any suggestions ? UK papers would be great but for our friends across the pond would be interested to know how boxing fairs in the mainstream press and other media in the U.S.A

    I use to like the Sun or the guardian but a long time since I look them up for an article on boxing.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I read his piece in Boxing monthly and have to say he is a lot less annoying in print.

    Have to say I really look forward to Boxing News arriving through the letterbox on a Thursday and I usually buy Boxing Monthly but is always nice to read about big fights in the nationals because it means casual fans have a chance to catch up with the sport and have a little bit of banter with us Saddos.
