The World Boxing Council will present a special belt to the winner of next month’s rematch between Saul Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on September 15. Canelo (49-1-2, 34 KOs) vs. Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) will be awarded the Adolfo Lopez Mates belt.
The winner of the fight can hold it over their heads. It’s a beautiful belt, but it’s unknown whether there’s a sanctioning fee attached to the belt. Hopefully this isn’t another draw like the first fight. It’s unclear who gets the WBC’s special Adolfo Lopez Mates belt if it’s another tie between Canelo and Golovkin. It’s a different set of judges this time, so that at least minimizes the chances of another draw.

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.
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.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Aug. 18, 2018) — Bryant “B.Y.” Jennings’ climb up the heavyweight ladder continued, as the Philadelphia native got up off the deck to knock out Alexander “Sascha” Dimitrenko to win the vacant IBF International and NABO heavyweight titles in front of 2,543 fans at Ocean Resort Casino’s Ovation Hall.
Jennings (24-2, 14 KOs) was knocked down with a big right hand in the fourth round, but rebounded to knock down Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 KOs) twice in the eighth round. An uppercut in the ninth round sent Dimitrenko to the canvas again, and referee Allen Huggins immediately called a halt to the contest, much to Dimitrenko's chagrin.
