Despite never having competed in an official MMA bout, Ryan Garcia has called out UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley – and is willing to fight O’Malley in the octagon.

Heavyweight Matty Harris has been buoyed by a message of support from Anthony Joshua as he sets out on the road to redemption this week. Harris returns to the ring Friday night, on the Wasserman Boxing show at the Telford International Centre.

Wasserman Boxing is proud to confirm that Abass Baraou has signed a new deal with the company. The world-rated super welterweight will continue to be promoted by Wasserman Boxing, under the guidance of Kalle and Nisse Sauerland, who have been by his side since he made his professional debut in 2018.

It’s officially underway. WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia came face-to-face in New York on Tuesday, formally kicking off the road to their April 20 fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

ProBox TV returns on Wednesday, February 28 with a new installment of Wednesday Night Fights. The card is headlined by ‘The Million Dollar Man’ Justin Pauldo. Pauldo (17-1, 8 KOs) of Houston, Texas, made weight at a comfortable 134.8 lbs clocking in just under the 135 lbs limit of lightweight. His opponent, Miguel Madueno (30-2, 28 KOs) came in at 135.2 lbs. The two will battle in a 10-round main event.

Oscar De La Hoya is not optimistic that boxing fans will get to see Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight Jaime Munguia in May.

Press release regarding Matty Harris sparring Francis Ngannou.

Former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has said Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will “follow the money” in terms of who he fights, and who he fights for next.

In a bold statement, undefeated WBA World Champion David Morrell Jr. (10-0, 9 KOs) has declared that rising star Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs), who is fresh off his sixth-round knockout over Padraig McCrory (18-1, 9 KOs), is nowhere near his level and that he would dispatch him in just one round if given the chance.

Leonard Ellerbe understands why Keith Thurman might be the underdog on paper ahead of his March 30 fight with Tim Tszyu, but he disagrees with how wide the bookmakers have the contest.
