Katie Taylor may be closer to retirement than further away from it at this point in her decorated career but that does not mean she has any plans of coasting.

Amir Khan thinks Kell Brook is the more vulnerable fighter at this point in their careers. The British rivals are set to engage each other in a highly-anticipated 12-round welterweight contest Feb. 19 at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

If David Benavidez Jr. ever winds up fighting Demetrius Andrade some day, it will require something like a career payday, according to his promoter.

Eddie Hearn believes there was much more appeal and merit to an Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook welterweight match-up back when he was the one in charge trying to make the British super fight happen.

Ryan Garcia believes he has to assume a sense of noblesse oblige in order for Gervonta Davis to fight him. The 23-year-old Garcia and 27-year-old Davis are two of the most popular fighters in the sport, but efforts to get both in the same ring have been so far unsuccessful. Garcia, who seems to believe that he has the higher Q score than Davis, says ordinarily he should command the bigger slice of the financial pot, but in the interest of getting the potential fight over the negotiating line, he says he would take a haircut on his purse: that means splitting the money equally, 50-50.

Bob Arum thinks Eddie Hearn is making a big fuss over nothing. Hearn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, hinted in recent interviews that WBC heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury may run into “hurdles” getting licensed by the British Board of Boxing Control

Eddie Hearn isn’t sure if he’ll be doing more than cheering on his longtime charge Dillian Whyte from the sidelines when he faces WBC beltholder Tyson Fury in their projected title bout later this spring.

Daniel Jacobs believes he will fare much better against Canelo Alvarez the second time around. The former middleweight titleholder from Brooklyn is looking to revive his career at the super middleweight limit against London’s John Ryder this Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Alexandra Palace in London.

Logan Paul’s next fight against Floyd “Money” Mayweather may take place in the courtroom. The social media celebrity has claimed for the past few months that Mayweather, perhaps the most accomplished and gifted boxer of the past generation, has yet to pay him for his part in their ballyhooed eight-round exhibition bout on June 6, 2021 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Now, with seemingly no direct deposit in sight, it appears Paul is thinking of lawyering up.

A pair of retired boxing icons could be trading punches in the ring later this year, according to a report by Sky Sports. Forty-three-year-old former two-division champion Hatton, one of the most beloved fighters to emerge on the British boxing scene in the 2000s, is in talks to face 48-year-old, three-weight division champion Marco Antonio Barrera, a hero of his native Mexico, in an exhibition bout sometime this year.
