One week removed from his landing to a throng of fans and media at LAX, Manny has exceeded everyone's expectations in training camp for his challenge of undefeated WBA welterweight super champion Keith "One Time" Thurman -- which may be the only normal thing about his current training camp.

Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller hasn’t been contacted by lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s co-promoters at Top Rank or Frank Warren about a fight between the two of them.

Tyson Fury needs to step it up and start fighting world class opposition again if he wants to help make the rematch with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder into the mega-fight that his promoter Bob Arum is hoping it’ll be in 2020. It’s going to take more than Fury continually calling himself the “lineal heavyweight champion”, and fighting fodder opposition like Tom Schwarz to turn his rematch with the unbeaten Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) into the blockbuster that it could be.

Andy Ruiz Jr’s trainer Manny Robles says if he were the coach for Anthony Joshua, he would tell him not to make the immediate rematch with his fighter.

Nangangamba ang dating promoter ni Manny Pacquiao na si Bob Arum ng Top Rank ang posibleng dadanas ng brain damage kung patuloy siyang sasabak sa ibabaw ng ring sa kabila ng kanyang edad.
