My personal favourite would have to be Floyd Mayweather, check out this video of him (read more…)

The two British heavyweights; Audley Harrison and Danny Williams, came to blows on Friday, a day before their scheduled fight.

The bust up occurred during their weigh-in for their 12-round rematch on Saturday night at the ExCel Arena in London (read more…)

The Italian Simone Maludrotto beat Belfast boxer Damaen Kelly for the second time this year as he safeguarded his European bantamweight title. The fight, which was held in Sardinia, was stopped in the third round when Kelly’s corner threw in the towel to end the fight.

Kelly had started the bout well but a sharp right hand during the third round left him staggering and, as Maludrottu threw more punches, Kelly’s team decided it was time to step in and save their man. Back in April, Kelly went the distance with Maludrotto; who won on points (read more…)

Ricky Hatton is still hopeful that he will have the opportunity to fight American four-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather. Hatton, who is currently 28 years old, is attempting to recover his IBF light welterweight crown against Juan Orango on the 13th of January in the United States but could then set up a bout with Mayweather.

When he was on the radio Hatton said: “It’s a fight I would definitely want. I’m not scared to say he’s the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He has won world titles at different weights. Hopefully we can get it on.” Mayweather’s trainer, his uncle Roger Mayweather, told the press earlier in the year that his boxer was attracted to fighting Hatton, although not in his home land in Manchester (read more…)

Once the youngest ever world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is to try and relight his flame by coming back into the ring in a desperate attempt to clear his snowballing debts.

The 40-year-old is going to attempt to fight former sparring partner Corey ‘T-Rex’ Sanders on the 20th of October in Youngstown. The bout will only last four rounds and has been labelled by Tyson’s promoters as the ‘Mike Tyson World Tour’. The ‘Baddest Man of the Planet’s last fight was in back in 2005 when he experienced a degrading defeat to Irishman Kevin McBride and consequently announced his retirement. “Iron” Mike said last month that he “truly hated fighting” but all the same he is going to end his 15-month breather and step back through the ropes into the ring (read more…)

Here are the top ten pound for pound boxers around today as decided by BoxingDaily

1. Floyd Mayweather – Welterweight – United States
Record - 36 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws, 24KOs
Mayweather became a world champion at four different weights with his contentious victory over Zab Judah, although he is yet to completely control a division. He is still likely to be facing Ricky Hatton in the near future. Now that’ll be a good fight!

2. Marco Antonio Barrera - Super featherweight - Mexico
Record – 61 wins, 4 losses, 0 draws, 42KOs
Marco dismissed any idea that he was a ‘spent force’ by thrashing Morales in the third chapter of their fantastic trilogy. At 31, and battle-scarred, he still remains a great force to be reckoned with (read more…)

This new and original weighted jump rope is an excellent aerobic and strength workout. It is perfect for building up arms, forearms, shoulders and aerobic conditioning while jumping rope.

The rope is available in two different weights: 2lbs. and 4lbs. It is made from soft and durable rubber so that it can be used in the most vigorous training sessions day after day.

Muhammad Ali was originally born as Cassius Clay in 1942 in Louisville Kentucky. The colourful and controversial Clay began taking boxing lessons when he was twelve years old after his bike was stolen. As a high school student, he won the national Golden Gloves middleweight championship in 1959 and 1960 and the AAU national light heavyweight title in 1960, then went on to a gold medal in the Olympic light heavyweight division.

He was renowned for his incredibly fast hand and feet. And although he was built like a heavyweight and weighed about 210 pounds he still moved around the ring like a lightweight. Whereas many other heavyweights were slow sluggers who were incredibly dull to watch (read more…)
