Andre Dirrell: record, next fight and profile →
Despite a decorated career, Claressa Shields is often criticized and derided online and in other circles. And that criticism has thrown Andre Ward and some others who know Shields best for a loop.
Going the distance is normally the last thing that happens in a Deontay Wilder fight. Outside of Tyson Fury, no one has fought the former WBC title holder and lived to talk about it. The same storyline surrounded Joseph Parker. Sure he once held the WBO title for a protracted period, and there’s no doubt that he has some big-time wins under his belt but a matchup with Wilder? Good luck.

NEWARK, New Jersey – Vito Mielnicki Jr. is done with James Martin, just not in the way that the welterweight prospect had hoped. Martin was way over the contracted weight of 147 pounds for what was supposed to be an immediate rematch Saturday night at Prudential Center. Once Mielnicki’s team learned Friday morning that Martin wouldn’t even come close to making 147 pounds, Mielnicki agreed to instead face Noah Kidd in the eight-round co-feature of a “FOX PBC Fight Night” broadcast scheduled to start at 8 p.m. EDT.
