There are three things that make a boxer elite:
The ability to control any opponent and take away their strengths
The ability to impose your will on your opponent and
The focus required to do those two consistently for 12 rounds.
On Saturday night, one man did it, and rightly won, and the other just couldn't.
These fights are always about the finest f margins and Usyk had all of those. -

The more I've read and listened to info on the Conor Benn saga the more I think this is a cover up about the failings at UKAD.
Nobody has challenged the validity of the VADA tests and now that the process is over, Conor Benn is unwilling to talk on the subject.
It feels like UKAD need him to be silent, more than he needs to share his side of the story.
There are huge issues here that need clarifying. -
If we didn't have Frank Warren domestic boxing in the UK would be fried.
How did it get so bad?
As fans we either get historic fight cards, or really bad fight cards, with no in-between.
What we saw this weekend was a dark omen for what is to come if we don't start addressing things now. -
Galal Yafai shocked British boxing with a one-sided demolition of Sunny Edwards.
The odd thing about the fight was how easy it was. At that level no boxer should be able to tee off with bagwork combinations.
it was like watching somebody doing padwork on another human body.
Hopefully, this is the springboard to success for Galal Yafai. -
It's a worrying time when you see Eddie Hearn using the tactics he used to laugh at other promoters for using.
But it goes to show how far the pendulum has swung away from Matchroom in the last 3 years.
Also....NOBODY ASKED FOR CHISORA V WALLIN!!!! -

Many will be disappointed with this fight, but I am proud of Mike Tyson.
It takes real heart to wake up at 58 years old, as a millionaire, and find it in you to train for a fight. He may never be what he was, but that warrior spirit never leaves you.
Only casual fans can be disappointed with what they saw. What did they expect a 58 year old man to do?
As for Jake Paul, he cracked the boxing matrix - getting rich with no risk and no CTE.
Netflix got 250m streams of fight that was pantomime, at best.
Everyone is a winner. -
6 1/2 years after Eddie Hearn, proclaimed DAZN was the home of Boxing. Frank Warren has made the zone, the whole of Boxing 6 1/2 years of tools and insults a decade of his integrity being questioned BoxNation being questioned, and now Frank Warren seems to be the senior partner in the Suzanne situation and look this has been for years in the making maybe a bit longer and you have to respect Frank Warren for playing the long game while Eddie Hearn was burning up his his capital looking for short-term returns, but the most exciting thing the thing that put a smile on my face is the realisation that that Matchroom

A decade ago a group of young boxes including Ohara Davies, Anthony Yarde, Craig Richards and a few others became the first bridge between conventional media and social media.
They were the first generation that proved you could demonstrate marketability through social media and while many others had social media before nobody utilised social media in such an effective way.
They were almost the influencers of their day, and you wonder if the opportunity been available a decade ago would these guys are promoted their own shows.
Would they have become KSI of the Jake Paul’s of their era?
As we sit on the verge of watching this generation slowly work their way out of Boxing it might be time to give them their 💐. -

When the two best fight to be #1 in their division, you expect it to be close.
So, when it is close, you can’t be surprised at the result.
Beterbiev and Bivol gave their best, and now, we should let them go their separate ways and allow the division to freshen up. -
Beterbiev versus Bivol, is the Hardcore’s dream matchup, but this fight doesn’t seem to have gathered much traction in the mainstream media.
Is this is down to the effect of Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois, and the kind of emotional fatigue that boxing fans will have after such a big event?
It poses a question, are we having too much boxing in a short space of time, and not giving fans the opportunity to appreciate what could be a historic era in Boxing? -
With Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois now complete. We have an opportunity to reflect on what was one of the most spectacular seven days in British boxing history, and the big winner in the last seven days have been Don Charles, with his reputation, greatly enhanced, and many of the things he’s been saying for years finally vindicated.
For many others, it means a reassessment of careers and in the case of Josh Warrington, we get to say goodbye to a British boxing legend. -
Wow! Just wow!
These are the times you live boxing. -
We’re so close to fight night, and this week has been a week or so many plot lines. From the status of Don Charles being debated to the tension between Willy Hutchinson and Joshua Buatsi, and the weigh-in on Friday was kind of a good moment to bring everything together.
Fans were in good spirit. The promoters in good spirit. The boxers were clearly focused and energised, and it made for a great spectacle.
Boxing wouldn’t get this kind of spectacle without the Saudi money being involved and at some point, we have to accept that their money is just as good as anyone’s money. -
There is no question that Anthony Joshua is a massive favourite in this fight against Daniel Dubois.
From his experience, power, size and strangely enough skill, he has a lot of things over Daniel, but the real test is whether he still has the desire in his mid thirties to to be the man in the division again.
To do so he’ll have to stop Daniel Dubois in an emphatic performance in order for us to believe that he could beat Usyk or Tyson Fury.
But, there are many ways that Joshua can win and in this episode, we will focus on some of the keys to victory for Anthony Joshua. -
There is an argument to say that Daniel Dubois has not lived up to the potential he had as a as an 18 or 19-year-old making his way in the professional ranks.
But, he has shown his resilience and ability to fight back from setbacks to finally become a world champion.
On September 21 he has the opportunity to cement his reputation as a genuine world Champion by beating Joshua, easily his hardest challenge.
Here’s how he can do it. -
Does a promoter have the right to recoup their investment costs from the fighters?
Matchroom have spent a lot of money promoting Joe and get him to world title status and it looks like now Eddie is in for a cash out mode and Joe Cordina, while not necessarily happy with it, has to accept that this is just how it works in boxing. -
This is a great opportunity to shake off some ring rust, and kind of feel my way back into recording.
Boxing is in a really interesting place. There’s a lot less money in boxing than there used to be and as such, you have more people chasing less money and we are starting to see the effect of that on both international and domestic boxing. -
In August 2024 everybody is an expert on gender.
Everyone is quick to the label someone as trans when we don’t even have a workable definition of gender for sport.
We lack a workable test with workable thresholds. People talk about these matters like XX versus XY is that simple when, as a human race, we haven’t gender tested at scale ever and now were literally about to start gender testing women just to prove they are women.
Is there anything more degrading than that?
Deep down a lot of the men defending women in this case do so because of a sexist view of how fragile women are. - Laat meer zien
