Huge month in boxing
Published
9 months agoon
We are in a dog in the summer and the boxing calendar warms up. Although a lot happened in boxing for the first seven months of the year, it is worth going back and considering what awaits boxing fans in the next thirty days.
This weekend there will be an intriguing riyadh card in Saudi Arabia. The main event takes place in bulky weight, and Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) receives Veteran Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KO). According to Magazine Ring Magazine, this is a nice fight for iTama, the perspective of the year in 2024. Ituma, twenty -year -old Southpaw, will face Whyte. At the age of 37, Whyte was in the professional ranks of boxing since Itauma was six years ancient and he was the world champion before. There were some rumors about Ituma, in which Oleksandr Usyk finally faces. This seems premature, but if iTuama organizes a spectacular performance against Whyte, who knows.
On the same card, Nick Ball (22-0-1, 13 KO) will defend his WBA Feather championships in weight against Sam Goodman (20-0, 8 KO). Plus Raymond Ford (17-1-1, 8 KO) and Abraham Nova (24-3-1, 17 KO) will compete in the Super Feather in Libra Division. Nova is a substitute opponent of the IBO Super Feather WWWEIGHT Anthony Cacace (24-1, 9 KO), who withdrew due to a back injury during training.
The second weekend of September is shaped on a giant boxing weekend.
The premiere fight of autumn will take place on Saturday evening in Las Vegas, on September 13. The Stadium allegian, the seat of Las Vegas Raiders, will be the host of Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) in defense of his unquestionable championships of super medium weight against Terenka Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) in the battle between the two best boxers of this era, broadcasting in the world.
This is a huge fight, but one that can prove the saying that for some reason there are weight classes. From July 2023, when Terence Crawford became the undisputed champion at 147 pounds through the fight of Errola Spence, Crawford fought once. This fight had 154 pounds against Israel Madrimow in August last year; Crawford won, but he didn’t look like his ordinary world self. During weighing, Crawford tilted the scales by 153.4 pounds for this fight.
Crawford will now move two classes to face Canelo Alvarez, who fought for the first time in this weight class in December 2018 against Rocky Fielding. The fight against Crawford will be the twelfth fight of Canelo for Canelo in the Super Middle Wweight, and at the same time returns to medium weight (against Daniel Jacobs) and fighting twice in a featherlight heavyweight (against Sergey Kovalev and Dmitry Bivol, the last time Canelo lost) at that time. Crawford is talented enough to compete with Canelo, but the talent is far from the only variable here.
Jermell Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KO) tried the same feat two years ago, in September 2023, Charlo was the undisputed master of the middle master and dared to be great, shifting two weight classes to take part in Canelo, an unquestioned champion in the weight class of fourteen pounds larger than his own. Canelo made the Charlo section, which twice lost the unanimous decision of the results 119–108 and 118-109. Since then, Jermell Charlo has not fought.
The only man who fought both Canelo and Crawford, Amir Khan, said about the monumental duel: “There are burdens for some reason in boxing. I have great respect for Crawford showing balls and fighting the beast like Canelo. Maybe Crawford sees something in Canelo, that others can’t see, and that she has gone through his sale.”
In accordance with the speculum of the fight with the criminal supporting clash of Canelo vs. Crawford is not brilliant. Callum Walsh (12-0, 4 Kos) vs. Fernando Vargas Jr. (17-0, 15 Kos), Christian Mbilli (29-0, 24 Kos) vs. Lester Martinez (19-0, 16 Kos) and Moammed Alakel (4-0, 0 KO) and John Ornelas (5-2-1, 2 Kos) are announced. Mbilli vs. Martinez has the potential to be Slugfest, with two undefeated super medium -medium wagons that have a percentage of over 80%. Considering the other two fights, this event, unfortunately, does not match the depth of high quality fights, which boxing fans saw on some other main battle cards in recent years. If Canelo vs. Crawford will turn out to be a classic fight, nothing will matter.
The action on the weekend is not narrow to the western hemisphere. Earlier on this day, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Lewis Crocker (21-0, 11 KO) and Paddy Donovan (14-1, 11 KO) will be directed to the Windsor Park in a rematch, which will also be the first fight for the title in the Irish world in history, questioned for IBF free championships. Their first fight in March ended when Donovan was disqualified after the eighth round for hitting the crocker after the bell. Although Donovan led all three results cards at the time of disqualification, he lost the point in the sixth round, and the second in the eighth round with low blows before DQ. Crocker hopes to prove that he had a free night in March, while Donovan is trying to rightly win the victory and the championship of welterweight.
On Sunday, September 14, the best pound-Funt boxer will perform in the eyes of many, Nayya Inoue (30-0, 27 KO), defending his undisputed junior championships, against Murodjon Akhmadaliev (14-1, 11 KO), a former uniform master in the 122 pounds division.
While 32 -year -old Inoue won eleven more fights through Nokaut, “Monster” was knocked down in two of his last four fights against Luis Neri and Ramon Cardenas. If Inoue defeats Akhmadaliev, Inoue has another fight pre-set on December 27 with the mandatory contender WBC Alan Picasso (32-0-1, 17 KO), which would be his fourth fight in the calendar year.
But from Uzbekistani, also known as MJ, should not be overlooked by Inoue or fans. He won his last three fights since the fractional defeat with Marion Tapales. Akhmadaliev is extremely talented and was in a sufficient number of great fights so as not to lame before the monster- at least theoretically. Many pretenders thought they were to take off Inoue, but it has not happened yet.
At Undercard Yoshiki Takei (11-0, 9 KO) will defend his WBO Bantamweight championship against Christian Medina (25-4, 18 KO). Takei, a former kickboxer world champion, will try to defend his championships for the third time in a row. Medina, born in the same city as Canelo Alvarez, Guadalajara, is a pretender No. 1 and has lost only once in the last six years.
The weather is burned, the regular NFL season is close, and the transfer window is still three weeks. So settling, enjoy a great boxing action, and there will be autumn before we realize.

Floyd Mayweather is one heavyweight position above Muhammad Ali

April 30, 2026
Muhammad Ali is considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight of all time and arguably the greatest fighter of all time, but in the eyes of another pound-for-pound legend, Floyd Mayweather, there is another recent heavyweight who would defeat “The Greatest.”
Ali suffered five defeats in his iconic career, with three of them coming in his last four contests when his best form was well behind him; losing to Leon Spinks, Larry Holmes and then Trevor Berbick.
His other two shortcomings came at the hands of Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, both of whom he avenged twice in his trilogies, which is one of the many reasons why Ali is considered the best heavyweight operator in history.
In addition to Ali, the other standout candidate for the title is Joe Louis, who holds the record for the longest reign in the history of the division – holding the heavyweight title for almost 12 years and making 25 consecutive title defenses.
However, Mayweather said that by participating in the premier “Winner Stays On” match, which features the best heavyweights of all time, Daily mail box that he believes first-rate Lennox Lewis would beat Ali.
Like Ali before his last two fights, Lewis has defeated every opponent in his career, winning rematches against Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman, who shockingly knocked him out to become one of five three-time heavyweight champions.
Lewis became the undisputed champion during his career before retiring in the early 2000s, also defeating the likes of Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson.

Oscar Duarte vs. Angel Fierro powered by Hitchins’ Fallout

There is also some frustration on Duarte’s side with the transfers. He’s still upset about how his Feb. 21 date with former IBF 140-pound champion Richardson Hitchins fell apart on fight day. The tardy withdrawal wiped out months of work, leaving Duarte without results after a full training camp and the associated expenses. This fight will be his first real chance to turn this stretch into something concrete.
Duarte pointed directly to the clash of styles. He expects pressure and prefers to face it rather than deal with it.
“I’m here to show my best and let everyone know what I’m capable of,” Duarte said. “Fierro is an aggressive player, so am I. The only way to neutralize his aggressiveness is to step forward and show him what I mean.”
This approach fits his recent career. Duarte has built his reputation on constant pressure and volume in attack, and he has no intention of changing his identity here. He also used the moment to point to a goal beyond Saturday, naming Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz as the type of fight he wants next if he can beat Fierro.
Fierro didn’t throw away style expectations. He embraced it.
“I love being the underdog. I’m here to crash the party,” Fierro said. “I gave everyone an amazing fight against Pitbull Cruz and I will do it again against Duarte.”
This reference to Cruz is significant. Fierro’s loss in this fight still improved his position due to the pace and damage dealt. Here he’s counting on a similar performance whether he wins or not, but he’s made it clear he expects more this time.
“I’m here to steal the show… we’ll delight the fans and I’ll come out with the victory.”
The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds, which gives it room to turn into something more arduous than a typical undercard fight. Both players rely on pressure, both are willing to trade and neither is talking about caution.
This usually leads to a fight that doesn’t last long.

Manny Pacquiao Says Floyd Mayweather Should Have Been Defeated: ‘Watch This Fight’

April 29, 2026
Ahead of reports of a rematch, Manny Pacquiao is unconvinced by Floyd Mayweather’s claims that he is the greatest fighter of all time and even questions his celebrated 50-0 record.
In 2015, Pacquiao became the 48th name on Mayweather’s resume, losing by unanimous decision in Las Vegas on a night when the main event didn’t produce the expected results but finances skyrocketed.
It’s for this reason Netflix supported the rematch between the pairscheduled for later this year but under increased scrutiny since Mayweather changed his original statement.
I’m talking to VibrationPacquiao said the fight was contractually agreed upon. He then dismissed Mayweather’s claim as the best ever, saying others had retired undefeated before him and would do it again. In fact, the Filipino icon doesn’t even believe this should be the case with his rival, claiming that he lost to Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.
“I think he lost the Oscar De La Hoya fight. Look it up. I know what boxing is, and if you go through it and watch the fight, Floyd lost it. Very clear, so watch it.”
Mayweather faced Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas. It was the biggest fight in sports at the time.
The fight was tight early on, with De La Hoya using his jab and size, but Mayweather adjusted as the match went on, providing cleaner and more precise work down the stretch. He took a split decision to win the title and thus replaced the “Golden Boy” as boxing’s leading commercial fortune.
De La Hoya has long criticized Mayweather for not accepting a rematch clause in his contract, accusing him of retiring at the right time and coming back to avoid it.
If that were the case, the American icon could face similar accusations in 2026, as it increasingly looks like Pacquiao’s rematch – despite his comments – is in jeopardy.
