Trainer Robert Garcia says Brandon ‘Bam Bam’ Rios (35-5-1, 26 KOs) is done as a fighter, and he’ll now be retiring from boxing following his loss last Saturday night against Humberto ‘La Zorrita’ Soto (69-9-2, 37 KOs) at the Auditorio Municipal, in Tijuana, Mexico.

“I want it all and I want it now.” Those lyrics by the rock group Queen describe the sentiments of boxing fans perfectly. With lack of institutional control and pre-made schedules (as opposed to leagues such as the National Football League or the Premier League), each time a bout is announced that does not match the perceived best fighters, that announcement causes a massive letdown among fans.

Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) let WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) this week that he doesn’t plan on fighting him again until he becomes better known in the United States. Fury wants Wilder to build his name up first in his own country before he faces him again.

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 25, 2019) — After thrilling Big Apple audiences in his last three bouts, Vasiliy “Loma” Lomachenko is ready to bring his lightweight world titles to the City of Angels.

Danny Jacobs views Saul Canelo Alvarez as the loser in his two fights with former world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in 2017 and 2018. Jacobs, 32, considers the second fight between them to be a closer one, but he still saw GGG winning that one as well.

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis out-punched WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and the highly ranked contender Dominic Breazeale earlier this week at the PBC Fox studio on a machine that is designed to gauge the punching power. What the test showed is Davis punches with the same power as the heavyweights.

After 10 years as a pro, James DeGale has officially retired from boxing following his recent loss to Chris Eubank Jr. in London, England. This was an expected move for the 33-year-old DeGale (25-3-1, 15 KOs), as he was soundly beaten by a fighter that many believe that he would have had a fairly easy time beating in his prime.

George Groves says it’s time for former IBF super middleweight champion James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (25-3-1, 15 KOs) to hang up his gloves and retire following his 12 round unanimous decision loss to Chris Eubank Jr. (28-2, 21 KOs) last Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, UK. Lesson learned: don’t overstay your career. When you’re shot, it’s time to walk away from the sport. DeGale stuck around a little too long, and got worked over and body slammed by Eubank Jr. tonight.
