Liam Smith: Erislandy Lara Contacted Me To Unify Titles
Having won the family race to a world title, WBO World Super-Welterweight Champion Liam Smith wastes no time attempting to cement hegemony as the finest of the four fighting Scouse siblings by making a rapid voluntary defence on December 19th, writes Glynn Evans.

Lara Has His Eye On Some Big Names at Middleweight
By Lyle Fitzsimmons - If nothing else, Erislandy Lara has adjusted well to being jilted. Though he considered himself a clear winner when matched with Canelo Alvarez, he hasn’t spent the 16 months since the disappointment result plying his sadness with ice cream and binge TV. He’s OK.
