The shadow Prichard Colón left on boxing is massive. On Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, Colón’s family announced that the former unbeaten Puerto Rican prospect had died at 33, nearly 11 years after a night in Fairfax, Virginia, transformed a promising young career into a lifelong fight for survival. His father, Richard Colón, confirmed his son’s passing, bringing an end to a battle that had stretched far beyond anything that rounds, records or championships could measure. Colón neve

This is the kind of fight card that can tell you something about where boxing is going, and Atlanta is about to get a particularly revealing look. Claressa Shields, arguably the most accomplished American woman the sport has ever produced, is coming home to a city that has never hosted her as a professional. Across the ring will stand Kaye Scott, an Australian champion who knows exactly what the boxing world expects her to be in this matchup, the obstacle standing between Shi

Anthony Joshua's return to the ring was expected to be guaranteed fireworks. Staging a comeback against Albania's Kristian Prenga, the British heavyweight delivered on every promise made before the match. The packed arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was eagerly anticipating an epic heavyweight war, but none could have predicted its abrupt end. Prenga's impressive record, boasting 20 knockout victories, made him a legitimate threat to Joshua, something many pundits and hardcore b

While the lights on Los Angeles FC's stadium dimmed, the crowd knew that Diego Pacheco would deliver. The hometown Mexican-American fought his way to a destructive 11th-round knockout finish against an opponent who was game from the opening bell. Immanuwel Aleem, a standout super-middleweight coming off a fight of the year contender against Lester Martinez for the Interim WBC Super-Middleweight World Championship, stood up to the tall task well. While he could not deliver on

Amari Jones may have officially forced himself into the center of the middleweight title picture. The unbeaten Oakland native delivered the most significant victory of his career Friday night at the SAP Center in San Jose, dismantling former IBF middleweight champion Vincenzo Gualtieri in three rounds during a high-stakes IBF eliminator streamed live on DAZN. Jones (17-0, 15 KOs) looked levels above the former titleholder from the opening bell, controlling distance, punishing

Bad blood rarely guarantees a good fight. Saturday night in Norfolk, Virginia, it guaranteed violence, tension, controversy, and a reminder of why Keyshawn Davis remains one of the most naturally gifted fighters in American boxing. Inside a sold-out Scope Arena crowd packed heavily with hometown supporters, Davis dominated longtime rival Nahir Albright over 12 rounds in their super lightweight rematch, earning a wide unanimous decision victory in a fight fueled by years of re

Daniel Dubois completed the latest chapter of his remarkable resurrection Saturday night, stopping Fabio Wardley in the 11th round of a savage, blood-soaked heavyweight war to capture the WBO heavyweight championship at Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena. What unfolded was less a traditional title fight and more an act of survival. By the time referee Howard Foster finally intervened 28 seconds into Round 11, his pale blue officiating shirt had turned crimson from the punishment b

Another weight class. Another statement. Another victim left searching for answers beneath the lights of the T-Mobile Arena. David Benavidez has done it again. For years, “The Mexican Monster” chased validation in divisions that never fully embraced him. At super middleweight, the biggest names swerved him. At light heavyweight, politics and promotional roadblocks slowed the path toward undisputed glory. So Benavidez did what great fighters throughout history have always done

DQ w/ Damani had the privilege of attending Friday, April 17th’s MVP-02 card in New York City, complete with bouts featuring Alycia Baumgardner, Shadasia Green, and New York's very own Elon DeJesus. The last time the news team was out for fight night was Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Lamont "The Reaper" Roach, an exciting card that took place at the Barclays Center. This time around, the team traded Brooklyn for Manhattan, where the InfoSys Theater (previously Hulu Theater) at Ma

Caroline Dubois has officially left her mark on boxing. On a night that carried both history and expectation inside London’s Olympia, Dubois turned a long-simmering domestic rivalry into a defining performance, flooring and drawing blood from Terri Harper on her way to a clear decision victory and unified lightweight world championship status. It wasn’t always pretty, but when the moment came, Dubois seized it with authority. The opening half of the fight felt tense, almost r

Sebastian Fundora doesn’t talk like a villain, but under the lights in Las Vegas, he fought like one. The towering WBC super welterweight champion made the third defense of his title Saturday night at the MGM Grand, stopping former unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in the sixth round of a fight that carried far more edge than his typically reserved demeanor would suggest. For weeks, Thurman’s verbal jabs had chipped away at Fundora’s patience. By fight night, the “T

Carlos Adames left little doubt Saturday night, turning back Austin “Ammo” Williams with a punishing, one-sided performance that underscored both his dominance at middleweight and the uncertainty surrounding the division’s immediate future. Fighting in the main event at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida, Adames retained his WBC middleweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision, earning scores of 118-110, 117-109 and 117-109. The victory not only snapped Williams’ four-fig

Gabriela Fundora continued her rapid ascent as one of boxing’s most dominant young champions, stopping Viviana Ruiz Corredor in the sixth round to retain her undisputed flyweight championship in a performance that underscored both her physical advantages and growing command of the division. Fighting at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Fundora entered the bout as the fully undisputed champion at 112 pounds, holding the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and Ring Magazine titles, a distinction t

The buildup to Jai Opetaia's latest victory may have been one of the strangest chapters of his career. Opetaia defeated Brandon Glanton by unanimous decision over 12 rounds, retaining The Ring Magazine and lineal cruiserweight championships in a bruising fight that reinforced his position as the division’s premier fighter. Yet the bout itself, a tactical but punishing contest between two physically imposing cruiserweights, became only part of the story. The larger narrative

Emmanuel Navarrete has built a career on chaos. The three-division champion’s résumé is packed with punishing, unpredictable fights, from his title-winning upset of Isaac Dogboe to his grueling wars at featherweight and junior lightweight, and Saturday night added another chapter. Against fellow Mexican contender Eduardo Nunez, billed as “The Next King of Mexico,” Navarrete once again proved why his fights are rarely dull and often unforgettable. Navarrete entered the bout wi

Ryan Garcia needed more than a win. He needed restoration. On Saturday night, Ryan Garcia delivered it in emphatic fashion, dismantling Mario Barrios over 12 one-sided rounds to capture the WBC welterweight world championship. From the opening seconds, the fight belonged to Garcia. Just 23 seconds into the first round, Garcia uncorked a compact right hook that detonated on Barrios’ chin and sent the defending champion crashing to the canvas. It was a statement shot, sudden, v

Ryan Garcia’s career has always moved at full speed. So has the scrutiny. Now, as he prepares to challenge WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, the margin for error has all but disappeared. Garcia, 25, enters camp in a position that once seemed unthinkable for a fighter marketed as the sport’s next crossover star. His credibility has absorbed repeated blows, both inside and outside the ring, and Saturday night’s title opportunity feels less like a coronation and more like

At a moment when the World Boxing Council is under heavier scrutiny than at any point in recent memory, one would expect the sport’s most recognizable sanctioning body to exercise restraint, or at the very least, consistency. Instead, the WBC has once again done the opposite. What should have been a routine administrative decision has become yet another flashpoint in boxing’s ongoing crisis of credibility. Whether through sanctioning fights few asked for, enforcing selectivel

The super-lightweight division has a new king. Initially billed as a razor-thin super-lightweight showdown inside one of boxing’s most sacred venues instead became a unilateral demonstration of control, discipline, and defensive brilliance. Under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, Shakur Stevenson delivered a boxing masterclass, decisively outmaneuvering Teofimo Lopez over 12 rounds to capture the WBO Super-Lightweight World Championship along with The Ring Magazine

Raymond Muratalla retained his IBF lightweight world championship Saturday night, earning a narrow and contentious decision over Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz in a 12-round title fight that capped a crowded weekend of boxing and reignited debate over judging at the sport’s highest level. Muratalla was awarded a majority decision after one judge scored the bout even, while the other two sided with the defending champion, allowing him to keep the belt in what was widely viewe
