Mason is a prodigious 21-year-old with fast feet, faster hands, and a lust for knockouts. His only vulnerability is that this latter trait can lead him to abandon his very capable defense in his quest for blood. Plenty of his opponents can find his chin with a good shot-Yohan Vasquez even decked him twice in the first round of their 2024 bout-before Mason separates them from their consciousness.

The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) last night informed all required parties that Joseph Parker returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted on the 25th October in relation to his bout with Fabio Wardley, Queensberry said in a statement on Friday. While the matter is investigated further, no additional comment will be made at this time.

I did a couple of venues with him what a shame, a great guy, a great character. He was like myself, he gave his time up for anybody and he'd give his last penny away. It was heartbreaking.

One year later, the fight for survival continues. Hulu just dropped the first teaser for Season 2 of "A Thousand Blows." The gritty period drama from Steven Knight, the creator of "Peaky Blinders," stars Emmy winners Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty alongside Malachi Kirby, as the intense world of 1880s East London's underground boxing scene reignites for another round. Season 2 picks up a year later as Hezekiah struggles to find his footing,

Boxing is not, and has never been, a perfect sport. Even in the throes of an enthralling duel like Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley's last Saturday night, you might find yourself shrinking into your sofa under the violence or bursting forth in rage at a controversial stoppage. It depends on your threshold for violence, but the violence itself is just

So it's been a wild, wild journey for us to reach this point. And if I get through this fight I'll get a chance to meet Oleksandr Usyk. Fighting Usyk for the world title would be a funny story, remembering how I went to Ukraine to spar him seven years ago. It would feel like I've come full circle.

There's a really good cast here, in a movie with a real-life story to tell: how Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle mentored a cheeky Sheffield kid from migrant Yemeni parents, Prince Naseem Hamed, teaching him to stand up to racist bullies and turning him into a media-friendly world champ in the late 90s, nurturing his showboating arrogance and his lethal fists.

"I'm absolutely delighted. It's a great honour to be putting my name alongside the other girls and men and women who have achieved this for Ireland as well," she told RTÉ afterwards.

I'm not here by coincidence. Canelo is a great champion. I have to take my hat off to him. He's a great competitor, and I have great respect for him. He fought like a champion.

What seemed like an impossible matchup a few years ago is now a reality: Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and Terence "Bud" Crawford will face off in a fight that promises to break audience records. The highly anticipated duel will take place on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., where the Mexican will put his WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF world titles on the line in the super middleweight division (168 pounds).

Limerick southpaw crestfallen after defeat at sold-out Windsor Park The 26-year-old Limerick southpaw seemed to have out-fought and out-thought the previously unbeaten Crocker as the fight went the distance at the Belfast football stadium. But, much to Donovan's surprise, Crocker got the decision. Donovan started on the back foot almost from the start and suffered two knockdowns inside the opening five rounds with Crocker also slightly ahead on the judges' cards.
