For anyone that can help Christian Allcorn, you can contact him on Twitter - @ChristianAllco1 Or Linkedin -https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-allcorn-87057023/ Many will be disappointed with this fight, but I am proud of Mike Tyson. It takes real heart to wake up at 58 years old, as a millionaire, and find it in you to train for a fight. He may never be what he was, but that warrior spirit never leaves you. Only casual fans can be disappointed with what they saw. What did they expect a...

6 1/2 years after Eddie Hearn, proclaimed DAZN was the home of Boxing. Frank Warren has made the zone, the whole of Boxing 6 1/2 years of tools and insults a decade of his integrity being questioned BoxNation being questioned, and now Frank Warren seems to be the senior partner in the Suzanne situation and look this has been for years in the making maybe a bit longer and you have to respect Frank Warren for playing the long game while Eddie Hearn was burning up his his capital looking for...

A decade ago a group of young boxes including Ohara Davies, Anthony Yarde, Craig Richards and a few others became the first bridge between conventional media and social media. They were the first generation that proved you could demonstrate marketability through social media and while many others had social media before nobody utilised social media in such an effective way. They were almost the influencers of their day, and you wonder if the opportunity been available a decade ago would...

Be there for your people, with love, when they are winning and when they are losing.

When the two best fight to be #1 in their division, you expect it to be close. So, when it is close, you can’t be surprised at the result. Beterbiev and Bivol gave their best, and now, we should let them go their separate ways and allow the division to freshen up.

Beterbiev versus Bivol, is the Hardcore’s dream matchup, but this fight doesn’t seem to have gathered much traction in the mainstream media. Is this is down to the effect of Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois, and the kind of emotional fatigue that boxing fans will have after such a big event? It poses a question, are we having too much boxing in a short space of time, and not giving fans the opportunity to appreciate what could be a historic era in Boxing?

With Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois now complete. We have an opportunity to reflect on what was one of the most spectacular seven days in British boxing history, and the big winner in the last seven days have been Don Charles, with his reputation, greatly enhanced, and many of the things he’s been saying for years finally vindicated. For many others, it means a reassessment of careers and in the case of Josh Warrington, we get to say goodbye to a British boxing legend.

Wow! Just wow! These are the times you live boxing.

We’re so close to fight night, and this week has been a week or so many plot lines. From the status of Don Charles being debated to the tension between Willy Hutchinson and Joshua Buatsi, and the weigh-in on Friday was kind of a good moment to bring everything together. Fans were in good spirit. The promoters in good spirit. The boxers were clearly focused and energised, and it made for a great spectacle. Boxing wouldn’t get this kind of spectacle without the Saudi money being involved and...

There is no question that Anthony Joshua is a massive favourite in this fight against Daniel Dubois. From his experience, power, size and strangely enough skill, he has a lot of things over Daniel, but the real test is whether he still has the desire in his mid thirties to to be the man in the division again. To do so he’ll have to stop Daniel Dubois in an emphatic performance in order for us to believe that he could beat Usyk or Tyson Fury. But, there are many ways that Joshua can win and...

There is an argument to say that Daniel Dubois has not lived up to the potential he had as a as an 18 or 19-year-old making his way in the professional ranks. But, he has shown his resilience and ability to fight back from setbacks to finally become a world champion. On September 21 he has the opportunity to cement his reputation as a genuine world Champion by beating Joshua, easily his hardest challenge. Here’s how he can do it.

Does a promoter have the right to recoup their investment costs from the fighters? Matchroom have spent a lot of money promoting Joe and get him to world title status and it looks like now Eddie is in for a cash out mode and Joe Cordina, while not necessarily happy with it, has to accept that this is just how it works in boxing.

This is a great opportunity to shake off some ring rust, and kind of feel my way back into recording. Boxing is in a really interesting place. There’s a lot less money in boxing than there used to be and as such, you have more people chasing less money and we are starting to see the effect of that on both international and domestic boxing.

In August 2024 everybody is an expert on gender. Everyone is quick to the label someone as trans when we don’t even have a workable definition of gender for sport. We lack a workable test with workable thresholds. People talk about these matters like XX versus XY is that simple when, as a human race, we haven’t gender tested at scale ever and now were literally about to start gender testing women just to prove they are women. Is there anything more degrading than that? Deep down a lot of...

While there is juice in the lemon we will keep on squeezing. I guess that’s the philosophy of boxing for where we are in 2024. As long as these ageing stars can give us entertaining fights they will keep creating entertaining fights because the new generation it doesn’t seem that there up there yet and so I can understand the value in a Joe Joyce versus Derek Chisora.

Is Boxing in South London working? Now, we have seen so many boxers from south London Chamberlain, Riakporhe, Azeez, Bentley, Cheeseman all winning titles, but we’ve never felt confident that, at the top level, we had guys that can do it. In fact we haven’t had a guy we felt confident a boxer could dominate since David Haye. Is that a sign that is the problems run deep in South London Boxing, I think so.

So the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney saga continues. It now looks like both guys could be on the shelf for a whole year with Ryan Garcia serving a drug ban and Devin Haney, seemingly needing to get his whole life correct before he boxes again. The sum total of it is, in the 140 pound division we’ve got chaos where we thought we were getting close to order and so for the next year we are going to get inundated with flights that we didn’t ask for but we’re going to get anyway.

Boxing is such a hard way to make money, but it’s an even harder way to build a singular proposition. What Turki is proposing to do in buying up promotional companies to create a boxing league is commercial madness. It taps into the ongoing boxing saga of finding rich men and separating them from their money. The shameful thing is that people don’t see it coming. Boxing is so good at massaging egos, boosting peoples self-esteem, and then making them pay for the pleasure.

A man should be able to have a beer in peace without the media watching and reporting on it, but when it comes to Tyson Fury and his history with substance abuse and depression, it’s always a worry to his fans and those that care about him. When you dig deeper, and you look below the surface. You remember that this is the guy who, as much as he tells you that he’s a fighting man in his heart and soul he’s not a born fighter. He’s a guy that had to learn how to be a fighter and that can play...

Top-level, Boxing is a rough rough spot. The one thing you should never do is deviate from who you actually are in a boxing ring. On Saturday. We saw Deontay Wilder, try and be somebody he’s not. Now, the real questions to ask did that win over Robert Helenius and the effect it had on him post fight, did that change his outlook on knockouts or was the Tyson Fury fight so traumatic to him that he’s never been the same? Maybe we will never know the answers, but the question do need to be asked

The waiting is over we finally get Matchroom versus Queensbury five versus five supposedly the best versus the best If we are being honest, we know there is a large amount of politics at play here and if you’re being transparent Eddie has probably sent the B team out and Frank has sent his A team. As great a card as this is we don’t feel that it’s as competitive as it would’ve been four years ago when there was supposedly real animosity between Matchroom and Queensbury this feels like...

I was wrong about Usyk I can hold my hands up. I was 100% wrong about the man. He showed on Saturday night what it is to be truly elite In a fight that was going against him for the first seven rounds, for him to turn it around, shows the mark of the man and shows why he’s a champion. We have to see him as a great now.

We're finally here. We finally get one face, one king of boxing. Now will it be Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk? I don't think the answer is obvious, but I hope the analysis here helps.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how dangerous boxing is. No parent should ever have to bury their child and this weekend was a reminder that for all the things we say, all the issues we talk about in boxing, boxer safety should always, and I mean always, remain top of that list. We may not be where we want to be but we are further ahead than we were a decade ago. However, that doesn’t ease the pain for the family of Sherifdeen Lawal. That doesn’t ease the pain for those who trained with him...
