Floyd Mayweather’s most formidable opponent needed to be saved from himself as the self-professed ‘Best Ever’ worked him over in their 2000 fight. On October 21, Mayweather faced Emanuel Augustus at Cobo Hall in Detroit between WBC super featherweight title defenses against Gregorio Vargas and Diego Corrales. ‘The Drunken Master’ would be ideal preparation for what was expected to be a hard slog against Corrales three months later.

Andy Ruiz Jr. looked impressive as he participated in a media workout this week before his August 3 clash with Jarrell Miller in Los Angeles. The former unified heavyweight went through the motions in front of the attending media as “The Destroyer” aims to push towards another shot at the title. However, as opponent Miller pointed out, Ruiz Jr. didn’t follow up his eye-catching display with a matching diet.

It’s been a while since Deontay Wilder has looked like that powerful, explosive athlete who took the heavyweight division by storm. He was never quite reliant on raw skills, but with the sort of power that can knock over a building, all Wilder needed was a split second to turn out the lights of his opponent. Nowadays, however, the success he once enjoyed has come few and far between.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Chris Eubank Jr. has the worldwide interest to sustain a sellout of over 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium this September. In any other year, the fight would be a massive event in the UK, but not this year. Unfortunately for Canelo, who has always wanted to fight in the United Kingdom, that spot has gone to Anthony Joshua and is off-limits.

Crawford vs Madrimov tickets are at a price point that is too high, taking the blame for seat availability in the thousands for Riyadh Season’s US debut. Terence Crawford challenges for two versions of the super welterweight title on August 3 when the two-weight undisputed king battles Israil Madrimov. However, despite hopes of a 30,000 sellout by organizers from the Middle East, thousands of tickets remain unsold with just over a fortnight remaining.

Mike Tyson is facing losing his third-straight professional defeat at the hands of a YouTuber, and it’s no secret why that feat is a possibility. The fact is, Tyson has been over the hill for the past twenty years, leading to previous defeats to Kevin McBride and Danny Williams. Influencer Jake Paul aims to become the third man on that list as he battles the former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ towards the end of the year.

Terence Crawford is training for speed in preparing for his title challenge to WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov on August 3rd. Hand speed might not be enough for Crawford to win against the younger, bigger, stronger Madrimov. Most agree that Crawford cannot win if he stands and fights this young GGG, Madrimov. He’s not young enough or built to stand in the trenches and slingshots back and forth with a puncher like Madrimov.

David Benavidez is fresh out of ideas. After grabbing the WBC interim super middleweight title in 2020, the 27-year-old was convinced that Canelo Alvarez would have no choice but to fight him. That valuable trinket, nevertheless, has done nothing to place Benavidez in the position he wanted. So, despite being...
