In the main event WBA WBA Feather WWWEIGHT Master Nick “The Wrecking” Ball, 22-0-1 (13) detained the former champion of Super Bantamweight Southpaw IBF TJ “The Power”, 26-6 (20) at the end of ten rounds of a close fight.
In the first round it went back and Doheny has an advantage. In the last seconds, Ball had Doheny in the corner. When Doheny turned to sit down, Ball kicked him back, dropping him. He could be made by judge Michael Alexander, who only warned the ball. In the second round Doheny showed and unloaded the ball sometimes with 3-punch combinations in the round.
In the third round, 38-year-old Doheny continued the ball alterning until Ball landed with his last blow in the round. In the fourth round of Doheny, more 3-punch combinations landed. Ball, from frustration, began to utilize grubby tactics with the forearm without warning from Judge Aleksander.
In the last half minute in the fifth round, Ball finally shook Doheny with his right chin, stunning him. In the sixth round, Doheny used all his experience to prevent the oncoming football. In the last minute of the eighth round Ball was slow with three blows and was counteracted by Doheny. Ultimately, Ball seems to land more than Doheny. In the right eye of the nine Docai closed when the ball dropped him on the canvas, causing Judge Aleksander to take his point.
In the tenth of the ball in the first minute in the first minute she found anxiety without response. Doheny fought the drasts. Doheny was exhausted at the end of the round. His corner stopped the fight. What a brave performance of Dokena.

In the first round, Turner won the best Farraga in the round of the end of half a dozen of Farrag’s defense blows. In the second round, Turner stormed the Farrag, landing by a notification, dropping Farraga when judge Steve Gray waved him when Farrag was lying there.
The international WBC Silver Bantameight champion, Andrew Cain, 14-1 (12), easily won the divided decision about the former WBC Flyight master, Charlie Edwards, 20-2 (7) in over 12 delicate rounds for BBBOFC British and Commonwealth Boxing Council titles.
In the first round, Cain chased Edwards to the whole round. Edwards ended with a tiny cut of the hairline in the last seconds, perhaps from the elbow. In the second round, Kain “mocked” Edwards to fight. In the third round, with the remaining 30 seconds, Cain landed a 3-punch combination on Edward’s chin. In the eighth round, Edwards finally landed a little.
In the ninth round, fans began to boo Edwards’s performance. In the tenth and eleventh round Edwards sometimes stopped when Cain continued to turn him off. In the twelfth and final round the overloaded fight lasted. Edwards raised his hand and jumped on the ropes as if he won.
The judge was Victor Loughlin. The results amounted to 115-114 for Kain (Latham), 115-113 (Gray) for Edwards, 116-112 (McDonnell) for Kain and 120-108 kH for Cain.
WBA Inter-Continental Lightweight Champion Southpaw Jadier “One billion” Herrera, 17-0 (15) in the fight against the action detained the former Master of the Latin WBC, Jose “El Comterble” Macias, 21-4-2 (8) for the first time in his career at 2:31-seventh round 10.

In the second round, Herrera led the Macias to a neutral corner with an avalanche of blows in half in another round of action. In the third round, Herrera had an advantage in another good round, landing left, almost dropping the Macias. In the fourth and fifth round, Herrera began to show up when Macias still appeared.
In the sixth round, Macias obtained participation in lead rights and left hooks to the chin. In the last seconds, Herrera’s head caused the left eyebrow to cut the Macias. In the seventh round, Macias, favoring the cut, was hit by half a dozen blows without a return, and judge John Latham called Halt, and the ucias complains.
Former European WBO champion, Brad Strand, 12-2 (4) lost the divided decision with the former WBC International champion, ionut “Il Capo” Baluta, 17-5-1 (3) in 10 rounds, for the empty European title of Super Bantamweight.
Strand swayed the baluses with his right chin in the first round halfway, knocking him down a few steps, although the baluta took the round. From the second to the fifth Baluta she was an aggressor in a close fight, and Strand replied, knocking out the mouthpiece of the ballet in the fifth round.
In the sixth round, Judge Marcus McDonnell warned the balutin for using his arm. Later, Strand suffered a cut on his left eyebrow from the clash. At the end of the seventh round, the Baluta landed on the chin, stopping the band on its tracks. In the ninth round the Baluta entered the Strand foot, which hit the canvas, and Ref McConnell ruled the knocking. In the tenth and final round the Baluta seemed to have an advantage.
Results 97-93 Strand, 98-91 and 96-94 Buluta.

The fight was memorable for several reasons. Chavez was knocked down for the first time in his career and had points deducted twice for low blows. Randall won by split decision, ending a winning streak that lasted nearly 14 years. Chavez later gained revenge in the rematch, winning a technical decision after the fight was stopped due to a clash of heads.
Before Chavez, Sugar Ray Robinson set a standard that few players ever approached. Robinson won his first 40 professional fights before losing to Jake LaMotta in February 1942. The defeat turned out to be only a ephemeral setback.
Three weeks later, Robinson defeated LaMotta in a rematch and began another remarkable streak. Between 1943 and 1951, Robinson won 91 consecutive fights, which remains one of the most impressive achievements in boxing history.
Several other champions ended their careers undefeated or came close to doing so. Mayweather finished his career with a record of 50-0 after winning world titles in five weight classes. Marciano left the sport undefeated with a 49-0 record as heavyweight champion.
Larry Holmes appeared on track to equal Marciano’s heavyweight record before he met Michael Spinks in September 1985. Holmes entered the fight with a 48-0 record, but lost by compact decision, one win shy of matching Marciano.
Joe Calzaghe also finished his career undefeated. The Welsh southpaw retired with a 46-0 record after unifying a share of the super middleweight championship and later defeating Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins.
History books also contain the names of players whose long winning streaks have largely faded from public memory. According to Harry Mullan’s The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Boxing, Britain’s Hal Bagwell had a winning streak of 183 fights between 1938 and 1948. Packey McFarland recorded 97 consecutive victories between 1905 and 1915, while Spaniard Pedro Carrasco recorded a streak of 93 victories between 1964 and 1971.
Figures from boxing’s first decades can be hard to verify due to incomplete record-keeping and differences between official figures and newspaper decisions. Still, they’re a reminder that winning streaks existed long before the era of television.
Whether measured by the number of victories, longevity or the level of adversity he faced, Robinson’s 91-fight streak and Chavez’s undefeated march through the 1980s remain one of the greatest streaks in history. These are achievements that still stand alongside the perfect records of Mayweather, Marciano and Calzaghe whenever boxing’s longest winning streaks are discussed.

Peter Fury claims Tyson Fury made one huge mistake against Usyk: ‘I saw it after the first bell’
Published

Tyson Fury failed when he twice tried to hand Oleksandr Usyk his first professional defeat in 2024. Now his uncle and former coach, Peter Fury, has highlighted a key reason why he believes the ‘Gypsy King’ was unable to beat the Ukrainian.
Peter Fury trained his nephew before famously winning the world heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, which was arguably the most impressive victory of his career. However, after a three-year break from the sport, Fury returned with Ben Davison in his corner.
Davison teamed with Fury for five fights until SugarHill Steward was named for the rematch with Deontay Wilder; a move that proved successful because “Kronk’s” style helped the Fury to two legendary triumphs over the “Brown Bomber”.
However, fighting for the undisputed throne, Fury and Steward were unable to defeat Usyk, and the Briton suffered the first defeat of his career before losing again in the rematch.
I’m talking to talkSPORT BoxingPeter Fury, who trained Rico Verhoeven in his controversial clash with Usyk last month, explained that his nephew was not forward enough in his fights with Usyk, believing he did not exploit his height to his advantage.
“As soon as the opening bell rings [went] and I saw how he was doing, I thought, “He’s doing it wrong.” You’re the bigger man, you step on 20 stone and do all the wrong things; instead of moving forward [you’re] standing back.
“He has his team there and I’m not criticizing anyone, but both tactics were not good in both fights. Something went wrong because when you look at Usyk’s structure and what he does, if you distance yourself and try to box an elite boxer who is lighter than you, who is giving away pounds, he will harass you all over the shop.”
Verhoeven’s efforts and Peter Fury’s tactics against Usyk have been praised over the past two weeks and described by some as hosting Usyk’s “toughest professional fight”, and the Dutchman has now climbed into the world rankings despite losing the fight.

Katie Taylor ready to say goodbye to Croke Park with Flora Pili

Katie Taylor will retire from her professional career on September 5 in Croke Park, Dublin, with her promoter Matchroom Boxing expected to confirm the fight at a news conference at the stadium on Friday. The gala will be Taylor’s first fight at Ireland’s national stadium, which will headline her campaign from 2022.
Taylor, 39, will face Flora Pili of France for the vacant WBC super lightweight title Reported to BoxingScene. Taylor already holds the WBA, IBF and WBO 140-pound belts, so a victory would restore her undisputed status at that weight and make her a three-time undisputed champion in two divisions.
The WBC title became available after Sandy Ryan left the sport to have a child. Pili, the mandatory challenger to Taylor’s IBF title, is the top contender for the vacant belt.
Pili’s road to the headline
Pili (12-0, 2 KO) turned professional in 2019 and within three years won the French junior welterweight title. The 28-year-old from Saint-Avold added a European title in 2023 and won the IBO belt in December with a 10-round majority decision over Serbian Jelena Janicijevic. She hasn’t faced an opponent of Taylor’s stature before.
Taylor (25-1, 6 KO) won Olympic gold in London in 2012 and five amateur world titles before turning professional in 2016. She became the undisputed champion at lightweight and again at super lightweight, and last fought in July when she defeated Amanda Serrano for the third time in a trilogy at Madison Square Garden, streaming on Netflix.
First Croke Park fight since 1972
The event will be the first boxing event at Croke Park since Muhammad Ali defeated Al “Blue” Lewis in a non-title fight in 1972. The owner of the 82,000-seat stadium is the Gaelic Athletic Association, and Eddie Hearn cited the inability to reach an agreement with the GAA as the reason for the suspension of previous attempts to organize the Taylor fight there.
Speaking to RTE earlier this year, Taylor described the venue as the final ambition of her career. “Ending my career in Croke Park would be the icing on the cake. I’ve fought at Madison Square Garden. I’ve fought at the Excel Arena in London. I’ve fought all over the world. Honestly, it might even top everything if I ended my career here,” she said.
Friday’s press conference will be held in Croke Park and will be broadcast on DAZN. Ticket information and final opponent confirmation are expected to be released at the time of announcement.
