    Boxing Magazines in the UK?

    Which one is the best, Boxing Monthly or Boxing News.

    I picked up a copy of Boxing News and it was alright although could have been better.

    Boxing Monthly is more for features and stories, kind of like the Limey Ring. it has some really nice glossy picture spreads, but does seem to be padding the issues out with them lately.

      boxing news is good if you can't go longer than a week without reading new articles / reports, but i prefer boxing monthly.

        I think in the age of the internet a weekly news magazine is kind of defunct, too.

          Both are pretty crap really in the internet age. It's not their fault but it's the nature of technology.

              Buy Boxing News. If I ever have to get a train I make sure I've got the latest Boxing News with me.

                  You should buy them both. Both are good, but good in different ways. BM is good for spreads and long articles, BN is good because it's up-to-date and gives you the news when it happens.

                  Ring (US) is the business, though.
