By
Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford

The much-anticipated showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford appears to have been called off.

According to The Ring Magazine, negotiations have broken down, halting what many expected to be one of the biggest fights in recent boxing history. Fans had been eagerly awaiting confirmation of a September bout, but the latest reports suggest the fight will not happen.

Canelo vs Crawford cancelled! Fight of the year falls by the wayside with everything agreed upon

The matchup was set to feature Canelo, the undisputed super middleweight champion, against Crawford, who recently dominated Errol Spence Jr. to claim undisputed status at 147 pounds. However, the weight disparity between the two fighters raised questions from the beginning, with Canelo having fought as high as 175 pounds and Crawford needing to move up multiple divisions to make the fight happen.

While details remain unclear as to why talks fell apart, speculation is already shifting toward what comes next for both fighters.

RIP!!! Tiger woods lost his ………

By
tiger woods

In her only son’s words, Kultida Woods never got “enough credit.” She’s the reason he wore red on Sundays, a choice she spurred on in his early playing days that went on to define an entire era of golf. He got his work ethic from her. She was the person who motivated him to be great and taught him the effort that would need to be required.

“My mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable,” the son said.

Her spirit will live on even as she’s gone. Kultida Woods, the mother of 82-time PGA TOUR winner Tiger Woods, passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 4. She was 80 years old.

“She was quick with the needle and a laugh,” Tiger Woods wrote in a social media post announcing Kultida’s passing. “She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”

“The PGA TOUR family is saddened by the passing of Kultida Woods,” PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “Those of us who have been lucky enough to have a firsthand view of Tiger Woods’ career know how much both his greatness and his humanity have stemmed from the love and support of his mother. We will cherish our memories of her and our thoughts are with Tiger, his children Sam and Charlie, and their entire family as they mourn her loss.

Gervonta Davis accused of retiring to avoid fighting a boxer he is afraid of

By
Gervonta Davis

Gervonta Davis is on his boxing farewell tour, having announced his plans to retire in 2025 because he is tired of the sport, although he still wants to say goodbye with three fights. The first will be against Lamont Roach Jr. to defend his WBA lightweight title on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. On this date he will announce his next opponent, who is said to be Ryan Garcia, while what would be his last fight is still unknown.

The retirement was surprising and he could still backtrack, however, not everyone believes him or at least the reason for hanging up the gloves, one of them is the father of Floyd Schofield Jr., who launched a theory in a recent interview with talkSport and said that if Tank Davis leaves boxing it is because he is afraid to fight his son.

Floyd Schofield Sr. revealed a private chat he had with Gervonta about his son, and Tank himself said: “I would never get in the ring with that guy” and added that he predicted Davis‘ decision: “And two years ago I told the world that when Floyd gets to that level where he’s a mandatory fighter for Gervonta, Gervonta will retire, and that’s exactly the same thing that’s happening right now.”

‘I was worried’ – Mike Tyson reveals real reason he decided to go ahead…….

By
mike tyson and jake paul

Mike Tyson feared he would be sued if he pulled out of fighting Jake Paul for a second time.

The heavyweight legend made an unlikely full professional return against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul at the age of 58, and was outpointed in a blockbuster commercial event.

It was a concerning admission, and boxing fans questioned why he simply didn’t just abandon the plans.

But in a new interview with Fox Nation, he revealed exactly why he chose not to.

He admitted: “I haven’t thought about that [if it weakened him].

“I was worried about getting sued, you know, because I was like, God, they’re going to sue me if I don’t do this fight.

It is likely Tyson has been seen in the ring for the last time

He said: “I wanted to give the fans a show.

“But I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.

“There was a point where he was not engaging back, I could just tell his age was showing a little bit.

“That violence war thing… that went away as the rounds went on. People just love to hate me. I intentionally say things for people to hate.

Serena Williams said what she could ‘never forget’ about Simona Halep

By
serena williams

Serena Williams explained what was key to approach when facing Simona Halep.

On Tuesday, the Romanian announced her retirement from tennis in front of her home fans after losing at the Winners’ Open in Cluj-Napoca.

Despite returning to the WTA Tour in 2024 18 months after receiving a ban for a positive drug test, Halep could not quite rediscover her best level.

Therefore, Halep decided to hang up her racket and bring a very impressive career to a disappointing end.

The finest moment of Simona Halep’s career came in the 2019 Wimbledon final.

She took on Serena Williams the right to lift the Venus Rosewater dish, in what was their 11th match against each other, and claimed a straight sets win to claim the title.

Serena Williams of USA questions umpire's call in the Ladies' final match against Simona Halep of Romania during Day twelve of The Championships - ...

Post-match Williams, who lost to Halep just twice in 12 meetings, was asked how she approaches each of her matches against her fellow former World number one.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion said: “I think the biggest key with our matches is the loss that I had. I never forgot it.

“She played unbelievable. That makes me know that level she played at, she can get there again. So I have to be better than that.”

Michael Phelps ‘rescued’ Simone Biles at her most difficult

By
simeone biles

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, has long been an advocate for mental health awareness in sports. His words gained even more weight following Simone Biles‘ shocking withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, a moment that sparked a global conversation about the immense pressure on elite athletes.

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the greatest gymnasts in history, was forced to step away from competition during the women’s team finals due to a mental block known as “the twisties.

This condition causes gymnasts to lose their sense of awareness in midair, making even the most routine moves extremely dangerous.

After an uncharacteristically shaky vault routine, Biles chose to withdraw, prioritizing her well-being over competition. While many applauded her bravery, others were quick to label her a quitter-a reaction that ignited passionate debates about the mental health struggles of athletes on the world stage.

Phelps, who has openly discussed his own mental health battles, quickly came to Biles‘ defense, calling for greater understanding and support for athletes facing similar struggles.

“Bakole vs. Wilder: Hearn Dismisses Reports of Joshua’s Next Fight Deal”

By
Antony Joshua

Eddie Hearn has denied Anthony Joshua has agreed his next fight, saying the heavyweight is yet to begin talks with any opponent.

Speculation on social media had suggested Joshua could fight Martin Bakole or Deontay Wilder next.

With Joshua, 35, coming off a knockout loss to IBF champion Daniel Dubois in an all-British clash, Matchroom promoter Hearn says no concrete plans are in place.

“If you look at Twitter [X], he’s signed and agreed to fight Martin Bakole. Today it’s all signed for Wilder against Joshua on June 7th. [But with] both of those fights there hasn’t been one discussion yet,” Hearn said on the 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast.

Anthony Joshua holds his hand to his heart and smiles

Congolese heavyweight Bakole has talked up a fight with Joshua in recent weeks, even suggesting he hurt the two-time heavyweight world champion in a sparring session.

But Hearn, who has promoted Joshua for the entirety of his professional career, laughed off the story, saying he has never witnessed Bakole “rock” Joshua in sparring.

“I think Martin Bakole is a very good fighter, but don’t get carried away that this is the new George Foreman,” Hearn said.

“The problem with Bakole is, he is a handful, but he doesn’t really bring the dollars for the fight.”

Gervonta Davis Vs Shakur Stevenson: Will This Boxing Grudge Match Happen In 2025?

By
Tank and Shakur

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Shakur Stevenson have ruled the lightweight division together since the start of 2023. Shakur is the current WBC World Lightweight Champion and Tank is the current WBA World Lightweight Champion.

Tank vs Shakur is one of the most highly-anticipated fights in boxing right now, as fans want these two undefeated champions to stop taking on easy opponents and test themselves as each other. Given the timeline, there’s a very good chance that these two already-rivals will finally face off in 2025.

Gervonta-Davis-Celebrates-World-Championship (1)-2

Shakur will defend his lightweight title against 18-0 challenger Floyd Schofield on January 22nd, as he looks to take his own undefeated record to 23-0. It will be his second defense since winning the WBC title.

Tank will defend his WBA title against 25-1-1 Lamont Roach just over a week later on March 1st. He has held his world title since 2019, and has been dominating the lightweight division much longer than Stevenson.

Since both of these fighters are having their first defenses in 2025 around the same time, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that they could have a showdown later this year. Tank has historically only fought once a year as of recently due to his status, though this may change considering how early in 2025 he is fighting.

Update!! Oleksandr Usyk being led away in handcuffs at airport

By
Oleksandr Usyk

Usyk, 37, was detained in Poland at Krakow airport, according to widespread reports on social media.

A clip of the Ukrainian being led away by officers emerged online, with the fighter’s wife and camp manager responding to the dramatic incident.

On social media, Usyk’s wife Kateryna said: “Everything is fine, everything is fine. Oleksandr will explain everything later. Nothing criminal, goodnight everyone.”

His friend and camp manager Serge Lapin added: “Don’t worry, everything’s fine. The customs control service is neglecting its duties.”

Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky took to social media to confirm that Usyk was released after being detained.

“I spoke with Oleksandr Usyk on the phone after he was detained,” he wrote on X.

“I was disappointed by this attitude towards our citizen and champion.

“I instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, and the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Ihor Klymenko, to immediately look into all the details of the incident at Kraków airport.

“Now, everything is fine, our champion has been released, and he is no longer being detained. In the photo, he is with our Consul General in Kraków right after being released.”

The boxer himself also penned a statement on social media.

“Dear Friends. A misunderstanding took place. It was quickly resolved,” he said. “Thanks to all who got concerned. Thanks to Ukrainian diplomats for the efficient support. And respect to Polish Police for conducting their obligations with no regards to height, weight, reach and regalia.”

Dangerous Heavyweight Is ‘The Only Man Left’ That Can Beat Oleksandr Usyk: “I’ll KO Him Easy”

By
Oleksandr Usyk

Oleksandr Usyk remains unbeaten in the professional ring but one heavyweight maintains he is the man to put an end to that glorious run.

Usyk has achieved everything there is to achieve in boxing and then some. He is a former Olympic gold medalist who cleaned out the cruiserweight division to become undisputed champion, then moved up to repeat that feat at heavyweight. It took him just six years to do so and along the way he twice beat Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Dangerous Heavyweight Is ‘The Only Man Left’ That Can Beat Oleksandr Usyk: “I’ll KO Him Easy”

He has never been knocked down in the pro ranks – though was put to the canvas by Daniel Dubois in what was ruled a low blow – and is generally regarded as the best of his generation and the current pound-for-pound king.

However, Martin Bakole – often regarded as the most avoided man in the division – has sparred with him before now and thinks he would stop the great Ukrainian.

Speaking to Pro Boxing Fans, Bakole – who is coming off a stoppage win against Jared Anderson – was asked how he would fare against Usyk.

“Yes [I believe I’m the only man who can do it.] I will beat him easy, I will knock him out. I’m saying this not only because I spar him but I know how to stop southpaws. I learnt all my life, boxing my bother who’s southpaw, how to stop southpaws. All his movement, all that, I will stop that, I will knock him out.”

Bakole’s brother, Ilunga Makabu, is a former WBC cruiserweight world titlist who held the belt between 2020 and 2023 after failing in his first attempt to win it when he was knocked out by Tony Bellew in 2016.

Whether or not Bakole ever gets a shot at Usyk likely depends on if he can get a world title shot of his own against the winner of Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker later this month.

Should he secure his mandatory shot with a win over Efe Ajagba in May and then manage to beat either Parker or Dubois, he may be able to lure Usyk into an undisputed contest.
