WBC super featherweight champion Oscar Valdez’s controversial 12 round unanimous decision win over Robinson Conceicao from last Friday has resulted in the Brazilian fighter and his team filing a complaint to the WBC because of what they believe was poor officiating and judging for the contest.
Making money in boxing means never having to say you’re sorry.
Not for allowing Evander Holyfield to risk his life at the age of 58 just to make a few bucks. Certainly not for stealing money from gullible fans for a farce of a pay per view show that would have done terrible damage to the sport if only the sport wasn’t so badly damaged already.
Evander Holyfield insists that he’s not kidding himself in coming back at 58 to take on a dangerous Vitor Belfort this Saturday night in their eight round fight on Triller pay-per-view.
Evander believes he’s still got a little left in the tank, and he’s hoping to use a victory over Belfort to get a much bigger fight against Mike Tyson.
Oscar Valdez started slow. Robson Conceicao was fighting the fight of his life. The champion then turned it around. Valdez retained his WBC super featherweight world title Friday evening with a unanimous decision (115-112 2x and 117-110) over 2016 Brazilian Olympian gold medalist Conceicao in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,545 at Casino Del Sol.
Top Rank boss Bob Arum has confirmed that Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3 WILL be taking place on October 9th as planned. Arum says he spoke with WBC heavyweight champion Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) yesterday, and the fight is definitely happening.

Tim Bradley says the huge improvements that Canelo Alvarez has made in his stamina in a short period is a red flag, and he suspects something is up with that.
The popular former two-division world champion Bradley feels that it’s odd that Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) isn’t fading as he used to a short time ago.
Heavyweight contender Tony Yoka, the Paris native who won Olympic gold for France in 2016, returns home for a historic night at the fights.
