Paulie Malignaggi: record, next fight and profile →





Now that Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul is a real fight, let the debates begin. Such was the mood on Monday’s episode of ProBox TV’s “Deep Waters,” when former world champions Timothy Bradley Jr., Paulie Malignaggi and Chris Algieri discussed the decision by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to sanction Tyson-Paul as a legitimate pro bout.

For new WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs), the opportunity to parlay that title glory into a victory over an unbeaten three-division champion is appetizing

In the aftermath of Ryan Garcia’s shocking three knockdowns of Devin Haney en route to a majority decision triumph Saturday night in New York, Garcia and his father, Henry, flashed the receipts.

After watching all of “the madness” that transpired at Friday’s Ryan Garcia-Devin Haney, there was one takeaway. “We’re heading to the finish line,” former 140-pound champion Chris Algieri said from Barclays Center, where he watched Garcia come in a staggering 3.2 points overweight for his second title fight in a year, with unbeaten champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) vowing to finish his former amateur rival. In addition to sabotaging his opportunity to wear the belt he has long insisted he’s craved, Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) has participated in one of the most maddening promotions in some time, punctuating it by showing up two hours late for Friday’s ceremonial weigh-in, where he sipped from what he was said was a beer bottle before revealing his overweight figure.
