WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders and Demetrius Andrade will have their first press conference this Friday, August 25 in Boston to announce their fight on October 20 at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

The fight will be streamed on DAZN, the new platform for Matchroom Boxing USA. Saunders (26-0, 12 KOs) will be defending his World Boxing Organization middleweight title against his WBO ordered mandatory challenger Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs). The WBO have finally clamped down hard on the often-injured Saunders by ordering him to defend against former WBA/WBO 154 pound champion Andrade.

Dillian Whyte lashed out at heavyweights Tyson Fury, Francesco Pianeta and Deontay Wilder last Saturday night, letting the fans know what little he thinks of the three fighters. Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) was less than impressed with what he saw of Fury’s fight against former two-time heavyweight world title challenger Pianeta (35-5-1, 21 KOs) in their bout last Saturday night at Windsor Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Whyte said Fury and Pianeta looked like two “powder puff” heavyweights looking to pound each other. Whyte ended up saying that he thinks he could have knocked Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) out if he’d been the one fighting him last Saturday.

that Saul Canelo Alvarez and his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions didn’t want him to fight on Cinco de Mayo on May 5. This was after Canelo had failed 2 drug tests for clenbuterol, which forced him to pull out of the fight. Golovkin wanted to stay on the May 5th Cinco de Mayo date despite the resistance that he was receiving for him staying on the date.

FRESNO, Calif. (Aug. 13, 2018) - Maxim “Mad Max” Dadashev will defend the NABF super lightweight title against former WBC lightweight world champion Antonio DeMarco on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

LAS VEGAS (Aug. 20, 2018) - Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer Jr. is ready to wreak havoc on the bantamweight division. Greer (17-1-1, 9 KOs) has signed a multi-fight promotional contract with Top Rank, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum announced today.

Greer, a Chicago native, will campaign as a bantamweight after fighting at both bantamweight and super bantamweight throughout his career. His debut under the Top Rank banner will be announced soon.

Showtime interviewer Jim Gray says Gennady Golovkin should have been given a victory in his first fight against Saul Canelo Alvarez last September, and he believes the only way he can beat the popular Golden Boy star is if he knocks him out in their rematch on September 15.

Gray is picking Canelo to win the fight because he doesn’t think GGG has any chance of knocking him out. Gray didn’t say whether he thinks Canelo is too big physically or too big of a cash cow money fighter for Nevada and the sport of boxing as a whole to be beaten by decision. If Canelo can’t be beaten by decision due to his popularity, then Golovkin is going to be in a tough spot on September 15.

Tyson Fury says Deontay Wilder’s immense punching power will be useless to him when the two of them fight each other in November in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) says he’s going to neutralize Wilder’s punching power with movement and by rolling with the shots to keep him from being able to land anything with full force against him.

Fury beat Francesco Pianeta (35-5-1, 21 KOs) by a 10 round decision last weekend at Windsor Park in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Pianeta, 33, was the final hurdle for Fury to leap over for him to challenge Wilder in November. While it wasn’t the greatest performance from Fury, he did enough to win in a dominant fashion in winning all the rounds.

In what was turning out to be a major win for boxing with over 50,000 viewers at one point, Golden Boy dropped the ball for Saturday’s Jesus Rojas vs. Jojo Diaz card at The Avalon in Hollywood, California. Diaz won the fight by a 12 round unanimous decision.
