Ringside Revelations: Latest Boxing News

Promoter Ben Shalom believes the domestic showdown between the newest 140-pound champion Dalton Smith and his fighter Adam Azim could yet happen during 2026.

It took Jazza Dickens 14 years and 319 days of dedication and sacrifice to win a world title and he has absolutely no intention of giving up the WBA 130-pound belt in his first defence. The Ring’s No. 9-ranked junior featherweight will put his title on the line against Anthony Cacace (24-1, 9 KOs) at Dublin’s 3Arena on March 14. The main event clash will stream live on DAZN.

Mario Barrios will leave the talking to loquacious Ryan Garcia, the 140-pound titleholder's opponent on Feb. 21 in Las Vegas. "I've never been a talker," Barrios says. "I just work."

Ryan Garcia's former trainer Joe Goossen will be working the corner of opponent Mario Barrios on Feb. 21 in Las Vegas, which Garcia said is added motivation.

Callum Walsh seeks to make a statement Friday night when headlining Zuffa Boxing's debut show against Carlos Ocampo, as he tells The Ring of his desire to parlay continued success into further opportunities centre-stage - this time in a new weight division at 160-pounds.

Andy Cruz entered the pro ranks with lofty expectations after a highly decorated amateur career that included winning a gold medal in the 2020 Olympics for Cuba. After a rapid rise, the unbeaten Cruz has arrived at by far his most significant test to date when he faces undefeated IBF lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on DAZN.

Two judges who scored Teofimo Lopez’s easy victory over Arnold Barboza closer than it seemed have been assigned to his showdown with Shakur Stevenson.

The former champion returns after multiple surgeries and an 11-month layoff hoping to insert himself again in the title picture in a deep 154-pound class.

Andy Cruz’s confidence and ambition quickly led the Cuban contender to exactly where he believed he belonged all along. The 2021 Olympic gold medalist will challenge unbeaten IBF lightweight champ Raymond Muratalla in just the seventh professional fight of Cruz’s career Saturday night.

Jose Valenzuela-Diego Torres will headline Zuffa Boxing's second card come February 1, as the former WBA junior welterweight world champion seeks a return to winning ways next month.

The ink on their contract isn’t dry just yet, but Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder are inching closer and closer to a fight. News of the two heavyweight contenders possibly fighting has been confirmed by Shelly Finkel, Wilder’s co-manager.

Ben Shalom spoke to The Ring about the return of our No. 6-ranked heavyweight Martin Bakole, who hasn't fought since his draw with Efe Ajagba last May.

If Dana White had his way, Terence Crawford would've continued his celebrated career after he became undisputed super middleweight champion by beating Canelo Alvarez four months ago.

It’s not uncommon for a newly-crowned world champion to be eased into their reign in their first title defense before moving on to more difficult challenges. This is anything but that for Raymond Muratalla. The IBF lightweight champion will make his first title defense on Saturday against Andy Cruz at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on DAZN.

The 154-pound unification bout between Xander Zayas and Abass Baraou finally has a streaming home. Top Rank announced in a press release that the Zayas vs Baraou card on January 31 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico, will be streamed on the Top Rank Classics FAST channel in the U.S.

Shakur Stevenson never overlooks an opponent. Doing so would potentially lead to defeat, a word which doesn't register with the extremely competitive Stevenson. With that said, his upcoming fight against Teofimo Lopez on ‘The Ring 6’ has him even more focused than normal.

Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora are close to finalizing a deal that will see the heavyweight contenders clash later this year. That's according to Wilder's manager, Shelly Finkel, who told Sky Sports: "We are in negotiations and it's close."

When Jesse Hart looks in the mirror, he still sees the same fighter he’s always been. Khalil Coe, who Hart faces this weekend on the undercard of Raymond Muratalla-Andy Cruz, believes that Hart is nowhere near the fighter he once was. Their clash will stream live on DAZN.
