Recalling Steward's Brilliance an Appropriate Way To Celebrate Milestone

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It’s a time-machine Tuesday morning. Twelve years ago this week, after tracking me down at a Quonset hut in Parts Unknown, the powers-that-be at Boxing Scene deemed it wise to devote a weekly chunk of column space to a guy from Niagara Falls whose fandom traces back to when the WBA only had one champion (gasp!) per weight class...

Deontay Wilder Says He's Fulfilled Emanuel Steward's Prophecy

When Deontay Wilder speaks on his destiny, legacy, inspirations and motivations, his words may sound like the ravings of a madman.
