Ramirez-Benavidez Preview

Boxing’s Cruiserweight division, positioned between the Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions on the weight scale, is often one that one does not associate with marquee fights that become dates on the calendar that the entire sport marks down and looks forward to. The reason for that is that the division is not viewed as a career destination for most fighters. Either fighters start as a Cruiserweights with a keen eye towards becoming Heavyweights, Light-Heavyweights move into the division with the same eventual goal of becoming Heavyweights, or the Cruiserweight division ends up being a fallback option for those who have tested the Heavyweight waters and feel they can compete more effectively in the division just below the Heavyweights.

Although this observer has periodically chronicled the division, most notably referencing the 1986 WBA World Cruiserweight championship fight between the late Dwight Muhammad Qawi and Evander Holyfield, an encounter between two eventual Hall of Famers that was one of the best fights in the entire sport throughout the 1980’s that has stood the test of time, marquee attractions usually are absent from the division, which was then known as the Jr. Heavyweight division. On Cinco De Mayo weekend, however, the Cruiserweight division will see such an encounter between two world champions and stars of the sport as Gilberto Ramirez will defend his unified WBA/WBO World Cruiserweight championship against undefeated current WBC World Light-Heavyweight champion David Benavidez on May 2nd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV that can be seen worldwide on digital subscription sports streaming network DAZN as part of its Ultimate subscription plan or as a standalone pay-per-view option either through DAZN or Prime Video* (*Prime Video option for the United States only for those who do not want access through DAZN.*)

This is a rare instance where not only will the Cruiserweight division get to be front and center with a fight in a coveted spot on the Boxing calendar, normally reserved for many of the sport’s biggest battles, but also brings together two offensive-minded fighters with crowd-pleasing styles that on paper, should mesh well with each other. In addition to that, these two fighters are both multi-division world champions having each won world titles in both the Super-Middleweight and Light-Heavyweight divisions previously in their respective careers.

While both fighters like to come forward and engage with their opponents and both are known for throwing punches in volume, the champion in this encounter Ramirez has one slight advantage at least in paper going into this fight. He has fought in the 190lb.-200lb. Cruiserweight division before and that experience in having competed in the division for three years might give him an edge over Ramirez who is moving up to Cruiserweight for the first time in his career. This is a fight where both fighters have high career knockout percentages where the challenger Benavidez has an edge of having stopped over 80% of his opponents compared to the champion’s 62%. The key, however, will be whether Benavidez will be as effective now in his third weight division as he has been previously. It is also worth noting that the only blemish on Ramirez’ record came in a decision loss to Dmitry Bivol in a failed bid to become a Light-Heavyweight world champion before embarking on the Cruiserweight division. Bivol is a master boxer that presents a difficult puzzle for opponents to try and solve with only Artur Beterbiev having been able to score a victory over Bivol to this point in his career so a loss to a fighter of Bivol’s caliber is in no way a disgrace and to Ramirez’ credit, he did give a good account of himself in defeat when they met in November 2022.

In this case, this observer feels it is more likely that we will see two fighters come forward and engage in some heated exchanges of punches, likely early in the scheduled twelve round world championship bout than it being a similar scenario where Ramirez had to combat an extremely technical boxer in Bivol. What will be interesting, however, is seeing as both Ramirez and Benavidez are come forward, pressure fighters who throw at a high volume, which fighter will take the initiative to try and implement that approach? Will it be the champion who will try and impose his will and experience having fought at this weight before on Benavidez or will it be the challenger who will try to back the champion up and show that his punching power will carry with him up to the Cruiserweight division?

Two very interesting questions that yours truly is as curious as anyone as to what will be the answers. While you never know what will happen when two fighters get into a ring regardless of similarities in styles and how a fight looks on paper, I personally have a hard time not seeing a scenario where at some point in the fight the two fighters are going to stand and trade punches with each other and that could very well end up looking like a 50/50 toss up as to who will get the better of it in a bout that some likely will suggest will not go the distance.

For a division in the Cruiserweights that has almost always been starved for mainstream attention in the sport, despite having countless notable fighters pass through it either on the way up to Heavyweight or on the way down towards the end of their careers, this is finally one fight that is worthy of such mainstream attention. If this turns out to be similar to the thrilling battle that Qawi and Holyfield provided forty years ago, hopefully the Cruiserweights will be able to take advantage of the increased exposure, which could lead to more lucrative bouts down the road,

“And That's The Boxing Truth.”

12 Rounds In A Phone Booth: Miller Outlasts Pero

Initially, this column was intended to be a post-feature covering two Heavyweight bouts taking place on April 25th taking place in two different countries. As some might know, however, the scheduled bout between former WBO World Cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie and Tony Yoka, which was to take place in Paris, France, was cancelled in the days prior to the bout due to Okolie having been found to have tested positive for what was described as an “Adverse Finding" in randomized prefight testing conducted by the Voluntary Anti-doping Agency (VADA). 

With that fight being cancelled the focus shifted to Las Vegas, NV where Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller met undefeated contender Lenier Pero in a twelve round WBA Heavyweight elimination bout at the Fontainebleau Hotel and Casino. It can be viewed as the most unintentional of coincidences that one fight that depending on one's perspective, which would have gotten significant attention, was cancelled due to a fighter testing positive for an adverse finding, and the focus shifted to Jarrell Miller, a fighter who has seen his own career negatively impacted over the years due to the subject of testing positive for banned substances, resulting in a lengthy hiatus from active competition, and has seen his career stall in the years since his return in 2022. 

In his previous outing prior to his encounter with Pero, Miller literally lost his toupee in the midst of battle in his fight with Kingsley Ibeh in January of this year. While some may view it as something that one would not want exposed publicly, particularly in Madison Square Garden and it turned into what is known today as a viral moment, Miller boldly threw the out into the crowd and pounded his way to a hard fought ten round split decision.

In making the most of that unique circumstance, Miller now proudly showing a bald head entered this fight with the unbeaten Pero looking to continue building momentum. It seemed as though it would be a difficult task in going against the former highly decorated amateur, who had scored knockouts in eight of his thirteen professional wins.

The perception that Pero would create a difficult task for Miller to overcome seemed to be gradually manifesting in the first two rounds as Pero consistently beat Miller to the punch and seemed to get the better of the combat. It was in round three that things started to tip in Miller's favor as he started to gradually use his over 300lb. frame to walk Paro backwards and force the fight to be fought in close. With the tempo of the combat shifting towards Miller, it set up the definition of a *Fight In A Phone Booth.” By definition, a fight fought exclusively in close where there was not much room to move.

Although this set up obviously created a narrow space, it resulted in a grueling battle that Miller got the better of for the remainder of the scheduled twelve round bout, resulting in him earning a convincing twelve round unanimous decision. In some ways, this fight resembled Miller's previous outing against Kingsley Ibeh in that it was a grueling encounter where Miller had to grind tooth and nail to get a victory. While this bout was void of knockdowns and the type of highlights that would turn heads, it was a competitive give and take battle and Miller’s victory here did serve in continuing to build momentum.

As for what's next for Jarrell Miller, what was billed as a WBA Heavyweight elimination bout will not likely result in him getting a world title shot in the immediate future due to current Unified World Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk being scheduled to defend the WBC portion of his unified crown against former Kickboxing World Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven in May. Despite the WBA world title, which Usyk also holds not being on the line in that upcoming title defense, the logical route for Miller in the short-term would seem to be to remain active and try to continue building momentum towards the eventual goal of fighting for a world title. The circumstances, which led to Miller losing his opportunity to fight for a world title when he was in line to fight then unified world champion Anthony Joshua in the summer of 2019, the lengthy absence that followed, and some stumbles along the way since his return, could very well turn into one of the best redemption stories the sport of Boxing has seen in recent times. A story that will obviously continue to evolve with time.

Tanaka Saburi challenges for first title May 29 in Perth – Thunderdome 54

Credit: Mike O'Hara/ Dragon Fire Boxing 

Press Release: April 24, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing -  May 29th, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the second time this year for the 54th edition of the iconic Thunderdome series with a stacked card.

One of the prospects coming through is Jnr Welterweight, Tanaka Saburi

Having had another show stealing performance on Thunderdome 53, Saburi returns and is ready to put on another great performance.

Tanaka Saburi opens up;

“My last fight was a big step forward for me. I got the win by TKO, so overall I’m happy with the result, but I’m also very honest with myself, I feel like I could’ve taken him out earlier. I was a bit of a late starter in that fight. I took that first round just to read him, figure out his timing, his reactions, what he was trying to do. Once I made those adjustments, I started cooking and really turning up the pace. That’s when everything began to flow, more time my shots were landing cleaner, I was more confident, and I felt in control. But at this level, I know I can’t afford to give rounds away or take too long to get going. Since that fight, I’ve really focused on starting faster, being sharper from the opening bell, and making sure that when I hurt someone, I finish the job properly.”

“My opponent is a solid fighter, and I respect him. He’s naturally a bit heavier than me, but that’s not something that worries me at all. I’ve been sparring bigger guys my whole life, so I’m used to that kind of size and pressure. He had a great performance in his fight with Devon Kelly, so credit to him, he showed what he’s capable of. But at the end of the day, styles win fights. It’s not just about size or strength, it’s about how styles match up, and I truly believe my style is the one that comes out on top here. I’ve studied what I need to study, I’ve prepared the way I need to prepare, and I know exactly what I have to do when we’re in there”.

“This means everything to me. To be fighting for a professional title in just my 4th fight is something you don’t really hear of, it shows the belief I have in myself and the risks I’m willing to take early in my career. A lot of fighters take their time, build slowly, but I’ve always believed I’m ready for big moments. This is one of them. It’s not just about winning a belt, these times it’s about proving that I belong at this level, that I can handle pressure, and that I’m here to build something serious in this sport. This is the first step toward where I want to go, and I’m not taking it lightly.”

“Come ready. I know what you bring, and I respect you as a fighter. I’m sure you’re coming in confident, just like I am. Let’s go in there and put on a proper fight for everyone watching. At the same time, I pray that we both make it back safely to our families, God bless. But once that bell rings, it’s business. I’m coming in there focused, disciplined, and ready to do what I need to do to take that belt.

“To all my family and friends, this one is truly for us. Boxing is known as a lonely sport, and a lot of the time it can feel that way, but for me, I’ve never felt alone on this journey. I’ve had people supporting me from day one, and I carry that with me every time I step into the ring. All the sacrifices, the early mornings, the hard sessions—it’s not just me, it’s all of us. That’s why this win isn’t just mine. This is going to be a win for all of us. I’m going in there to make you proud, and when I bring that belt home, it belongs to every single person who’s been backing me.”.

Owen Corrigan Challenges Mad Dog Micah Rivetti For Light Heavyweight title May 29 In Perth – Thunderdome 54

Press Release: April 20, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - 

Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 

May 29th, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the second time this year for the 54th edition of the iconic Thunderdome series with a stacked card.

One of the main events features undefeated Owen “Bomber” Corrigan” 5-0 taking of Micah Rivetti in a rematch for the Australian National Boxing Federations Light Heavyweight Australasian Championship.

The first fight was a cracker with the result a Split Decision and expect no difference in the second.

Corrigan opened up about his title fight challenge;

“The last fight is over and time to forget about it, wasn’t a trademark performance from my end but I take full accountability, sometimes you have those nights where you can’t get into your rhythm so you just make sure you win the rounds, thanks again for all the fans for coming out in support this fight will definitely live up to the expectations”

“Micah is a good opponent, I knew that going into the last fight, his record doesn’t indicate what he actually brings. Records are for djs. I’ll be honest I’m focused on being the best I can be rather than focusing on opponents. I’m fully confident going into this fight that I’ve got the ability to get the win emphatically”

“Second title and a major title too, madness what can happen when you put your mind to something, I just do the fighting it’s my team I’m grateful for. No point fighting for titles, I’m going to win it.”

“Micah, he’s a good guy I am too, I look forward to letting the boxing do the talk”.

“Shoutout to the fans, I cringe calling them fans because they are way more than that. They know that too. We’re on this journey together. When one goes to war we all go to war!!”

Your not going to want to miss this one!

Fury Works Off Rust

April 11, 2026 marked the beginning of a new chapter for former two-time World Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Following another in a series of sabbaticals away from the sport of Boxing, this one following suffering his only two career defeats in consecutive fights to Oleksandr Usyk, this chapter at the age of thirty-seven was the start of a comeback. Fury’s opponent for his first fight in nearly two years was contender Arslanbek Makhmudov in London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

 Makhmudov, a veteran of twenty-three professional fights coming into this encounter, had the size and punching power that on paper appeared as though he may have been able to pose a legitimate challenge to Fury, and was not a soft touch for a “Comeback Fight.” Initially, Makhmudov seemed as though he would provide just that by frequently and aggressively pushing Fury back against the ropes and frailing wide, looping punches. Although it needs to be pointed out that Tyson Fury has not been known as a traditionally fast starter in fights, at minimum, it seemed like he would have trouble finding a rhythm, primarily due to Makhmudov’s aggression.

From the second round, however, Fury, showing his skillset and ability to make adjustments, took control of the fight. While the contest often resembled a grappling match due to Fury frequently tying up Makhmudov on the inside and frequent jockeying for position between the two massive Heavyweights who weighed a combined 533lbs. While often ugly and not the most entertaining fight to watch, particularly for the over 50,000 spectators in attendance, gradually as Fury took over the tempo of the combat, he would showcase his hand speed and frequently caught Makhmudov with combinations as he came forward. This would be the pattern for the majority of the scheduled twelve round bout. Makhmudov continued to press forward, but was unable to land anything significant to change the tempo or hurt Fury.

While as the fight progressed it seemed like Fury could have pressed the issue any time he wanted and possibly could have gotten a stoppage of an opponent in Makhmudov, who was exhausted by the middle and late rounds, the former world champion opted to use the majority of the rounds to work off the “Ring Rust” on his way to winning a wide twelve round unanimous decision.

Put simply, there is not much analysis one could offer beyond saying that Fury took a round to find his footing after a long layoff, and put forth a workmanlike performance in a lopsided, and at times, ugly outing. What stood out to this observer, however, was a more serious approach by Fury as this fight just saw a fighter going about his business and did not feature some of the showboating tactics that he has been known for throughout his career. Perhaps this chapter of Fury’s career will be highlighted by a more serious approach as he continues his career with an aim towards trying to secure an opportunity to become a three-time World Heavyweight champion.

As refreshing as it was to see a fighter in Fury adopt a more serious temperament as he does not need showboating tactics and never did, there was the moment after the fight where Fury joined in the ring by H.E. Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, the man who has been primarily responsible for a significant majority of major fights having taken place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the recent history of the sport and the owner of Ring Magazine, called out former two-time World Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn, who were seated at ringside for a fight perhaps later this year in London. 

A fight between Fury and Joshua has been one of many potential fights throughout the history of Boxing that at times has been in negotiations on and off, particularly during the period where the two British Heavyweights were the two world champions in the division, which would have been perhaps the biggest Heavyweight fight to be held in England in Boxing history, perhaps only rivaled by the October 1993 World Heavyweight championship fight between then WBC world champion Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno, which took place at National Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, that marked at that point in time the first time that two British fighters had met in the ring for a version of the World Heavyweight championship in nearly one hundred years.

Although Lewis-Bruno, which took place on a rainy night in Cardiff, Wales and was in danger of being postponed because of weather conditions, will always hold a special place in Boxing history for its significance and for being one of the best Heavyweight fights of the 1990’s, some would claim that a potential fight between Fury and Joshua would be bigger. Yours truly will not get into that debate as one who has always held British Boxing in high regard and respect, but what I will say is perhaps this fight, if it finally does happen, would have been bigger if it were made when the Fury and Joshua had the opportunity to meet for what would have been the Undisputed Heavyweight championship of the world. For a variety of reasons, all having to do with the business side of the sport, the fight did not happen.

Now with H.E. Turki Al-Sheikh being actively involved in the sport as a power broker and significant investor, perhaps a Fury-Joshua fight might finally get over the finish line, but whether or not Al-Sheikh succeeds, the potential for it being a scenario where buyers remorse may ultimately be the feeling both he and Boxing fans worldwide are left with is there. Unfortunately, while it will no doubt still be a significant event, particularly throughout the United Kingdom, Boxing and particularly those promoters and networks who were involved several years back when the opportunity was there to stage a fight for all the marbles in the Heavyweight division, which would have been more significant than merely a big event between two star Heavyweights and future Hall of Famers. For that, the business of the sport is to blame.

Tyson Fury's Next Chapter

 Following his second loss to World Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, former two-time World Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury chose to close the book on his Boxing career. While it was not the first time Fury had announced a retirement from competition as he has been open with his struggles with mental health throughout his career and notably took a lengthy retirement after defeating Wladimir Klitschko for his first world championship in 2015, this retirement seemed to have a little more validity in the sense that it was not something that even the most cynical of Boxing fan or those of us who cover the sport could say that Fury would be back.

After all, not only had a decade nearly passed from when he previously stepped away from the sport, but since he returned in 2018, he had taken part in several grueling battles over the years including three brutal fights with Deontay Wilder over the WBC version of the World Heavyweight championship. Boxers like the rest of us are human beings and from what a fighter's body goes through while in preparation for a fight, to what happens during the fights themselves, the accumulation of all that punishment along with age has to take a toll on one's body with time.

After being out boxed in the second bout against Usyk, this observer thought both age and the physical toll Fury had paid throughout his career really meant that his second loss to Usyk seemed to indicate that he was ready for the next chapter in his life away from the sport.

Although losing to a fighter of Oleksandr Usuk’s caliber is in no way a disgrace and Fury was not disgraced in either of his two encounters with him, sometimes fighters do not want to end their careers with a defeat in addition to the road of a crowd and the financial rewards that come with getting into a Boxing ring. It was therefore of little surprise to me to hear that there will be a third chapter in the story of Tyson Fury's career as he will return to the ring on Saturday, April 11th at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England to face veteran contender Arslanbek Makhmudov in a scheduled twelve round Heavyweight bout that can be seen worldwide on digital subscription general entertainment network Netflix.

While this fight will serve as the next event Netflix has chosen to invest significantly into the sport, the obvious subplot here is what Tyson Fury have left to give as a fighter at this point in his career. Although nearly a year and a half away from active competition has likely been beneficial in terms of allowing his body to recuperate from the numerous battles he has been through over the years. At thirty-seven years old, however, that question of what he has left will be asked likely with each fight from this point forward.

In Arslanbek Makhmudov, Fury will face a fighter with a respectable record of twenty-three professional fights with nineteen of his twenty-one wins coming by stoppage. At 6’5 ½, Makhmudov does have the size that would indicate that this may not be a straightforward “Comeback” or “Tune-up” fight for Fury, who stands 6’9. Although Makhmudov has been stopped in his two career defeats against Agit Kabayel and Guido Vianello, Makhmudov does have a career knockout percentage of over 90%, so this is a fighter that does carry punching power into the ring with him. While Fury has been knocked down numerous times in his career, he has always shown incredible ability to recover and has never been stopped in his career.

Despite always processing a good mix of overall Boxing skill, hand speed for a big man, and punching power in his own right, what some point to as a red flag with Fury is he tends to showboat in his fights rather than showing a serious approach that the upper level of the sport regardless of division often demands and at times even a lackadaisical approach, most notably against former UFC Heavyweight world champion Francis Ngannou, who was competing in his first professional fight as a boxer and managed to not only drop Fury in what was a non-title bout where Fury’s WBC world title at the time was not at stake, but managed to turn in a performance where several felt he deserved a decision against Fury, who seemed both in attitude prior to the bout and in body language throughout to have taken him lightly.

Now at this stage in his career, coming off back to back losses to Oleksandr Usyk and a second retirement/sabbatical from the sport, it will be interesting to see if Fury implements a more serious approach now against an opponent who no doubt will be looking to use the name recognition that Fury brings with him to springboard himself towards a world title shot should Makhmudov emerge victorious. There is a lot on the table for both fighters here and when it comes to Boxing, especially in the Heavyweight division, truly anything can happen.

“And That's The Boxing Truth.”

Fury vs. Makhmudov takes place on Saturday, April 11th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

Tszyu Shines In Middleweight Debut, Wilder And Chisora Engage In Heavyweight Brawl

Two interesting bouts that this observer properly referred to as “Crossroad Fights” kicked off the month of April 2026 on April 4th in New South Wales, Australia and London, England respectively. This column will begin with the bout that occurred in Australia as former WBO Jr. Middleweight world champion Tim Tazyu returned to action, this time as a Middleweight as he faced the unbeaten Denis Nurja in a fight scheduled for ten rounds.

Despite moving up six pounds to the Middleweight division from the Jr. Middleweight weight class that he had competed in for his entire career, and facing an undefeated, yet largely unknown opponent, Tszyu applied pressure from the opening bell, consistently backing Nurja up with an attack to the body and head that kept Nurja on the defensive. After suffering a cut below his left eye as a result of an accidental clash of heads, Tszyu dropped Nurja with a flush left hook followed by two right hands in the fourth round. Although the former world champion made an effort to press the issue in an attempt to get a stoppage, to his credit Nurja, despite not having an answer to halt the constant pressure, showed his mettle by not only surviving the knockdown and follow-up from Tszyu, but managed to go the full ten rounds. 

The victory for Tszyu, a shut out on all three official scorecards, was not only his second victory since being stopped in his rematch with WBC Jr. Middleweight world champion Sebastian Fundora in the summer of last year, but also served as the type of performance one would aim for in their first outing in a new weight division. Especially a division in the Middleweights that appears to be heading towards a period of transition as 2026 goes on. Before discussing Tszyu’s potential options moving forward after a performance where he was in control from start to finish, the time has come to discuss the second bout that took place on April 4th that occurred in London, England. 

This observer is referring to the high stakes Heavyweight bout between longtime Heavyweight contender Derek Chisora and former WBC Heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder, which took place at the O2 Arena. A fight that was promoted as the coincidental fiftieth fight for each fighter in their respective careers, was the definition of a “Crossroads Fight.” One fighter in Chisora insisting that whatever happened win or lose, he would retire after the fight, despite holding a mandatory challenger position in the IBF Heavyweight ratings, and a former world champion who was trying to also get back in line for another chance to regain a world title.

What occurred was the definition of a brawl, which was ugly at times, but provided entertainment and drama as both fighters had their moments throughout. Chisora, the former two-time world title challenger, as always showed no intimidation as he immediately applied pressure on the taller and longer Wilder, who is known as one of the most devastating power punchers in the history of the Heavyweight division. Chisora’s pressure set up the tempo of the combat where both fighters were content to stay in close and trade punches, which also set up significant grappling on the inside and roughhousing between the two.

This also led to some heated exchanges of punches between the two fighters where both men landed flush shots on the other. As I watched this encounter, it became evident very early in the bout that unless there was a knockout one way or the other, there would be a conundrum to try and sort out when it came to the scoring of the fight. The constant pressure of Chisora, the ability to consistently back Wilder up and land hard punches, or Wilder’s ability to seemingly land harder blows particularly in exchanges of punches. While I always keep a mental score in terms of how I see things whenever I watch a fight regardless of whether I am covering it or not, based on decades of experience having covered thousands of fights on every level imaginable in the sport.  By the midway point of the twelve round bout, my focus was not on who may have been leading on the scorecards, but rather on whether we would see a stoppage as the fight progressed.

It truly was a grueling give and take battle that had to have been exhausting for both fighters. As there always seems to be in Boxing, however, a great and entertaining fight would have an element of controversy attached to it. In the eighth round, Chisora stunned Wilder with a right hand that landed flush on the head when he had the former world champion briefly neutralized in his corner. Wilder responded with heavy blows of his own that sent Chisora across the ring staggering as Wilder pressed forward continuing to land punches and ultimately would be credited with a knockdown as he knocked Chosora through the ropes. Chisora was able to get himself together and the fight continued. When Wilder pressed forward attempting to force a stoppage, in being overly aggressive he sent Chisora through the ropes again, but this time pushed him through the ropes. This led to Referee Mark Bates to deduct a point from Wilder for pushing. Wilder himself would take a trip to the canvas later in the fight for what was ruled a slip.

Wilder would score a second knockdown of Chisora in round eleven and ultimately, that second knockdown would allow him to get over the finish line in earning an extremely hard fought and grueling twelve round split decision over Chisora. While the events of a wild, no pun intended, eighth round has been subject to controversy in the eyes of some, the call of Mark Bates to deduct a point from Wilder was proper. It can be hard at times in the midst of a heated battle, such as this was, to remain focused if you are a referee, particularly when you not only have to deal with the two fighters in front of you, but also the atmosphere of a loud and excited crowd. Although I do not believe Deontay Wilder pushed Derek Chisora intentionally as he was obviously trying to force a stoppage and was in the midst of throwing punches, pushing an opponent is indeed illegal either as a hurt fighter trying to avoid being knocked down or knocked out, or as a fighter looking for a knockout. As such, even if it was a circumstance of bad timing in the eyes of some, Bates did make the correct call. The issue of the events of round eight aside, this was a fight that more than lived up to every expectation and it would not surprise me as Derek Chisora did not outright retire after the fight and appeared to be going back and forth on the subject, if we see a rematch perhaps later this year, especially if there is money on the table and interest in a rematch is there.

Turning our attention briefly back to the first fight that was covered in this column in closing, Tim Tszyu finds himself in a unique position as he is now competing as a Middleweight and the division may indeed be entering a period of transition as WBC world champion Carlos Adames, fresh off of a recent title defense over Austin Williams in March, has announced his intention to vacate his title and move up to the 168lb. Super-Middleweight division, which would leave an opening in the WBC Middleweight ratings and the former unbeaten unified world champion of the division, WBO/IBF world champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly currently being idle after testing positive for a banned substance, subsequently being suspended, and likely to be stripped of both titles he holds, there will certainly be room for Tszyu to try to maneuver his way into a title shot, particularly because he has name recognition value and did win a world title previously in his career as a Jr. Middleweight. It is not hard to envision the likelihood that Tszyu could be fighting for a vacated world title by the end of this year, despite just debuting in the division.

Former World Champion Alfredo Angulo Signs With BKB Bareknuckle Boxing

MIAMI, FL – BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing is proud to announce the signing of former world champion and fan-favorite warrior Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo (26-8, 21 KOs) to a multi-fight deal, adding another proven elite striker to its rapidly growing roster.

 

A relentless pressure fighter known for his toughness and all-action style, Angulo brings decades of high-level experience to BKB. The Mexicali, Baja California native built a decorated professional boxing career that included capturing the WBO Interim Light Middleweight Championship (2009–2010), along with regional titles such as the WBC Continental Americas Super Welterweight and WBO Inter-Continental Super Welterweight belts.

 

Before turning professional in 2005, Angulo compiled nearly 100 amateur bouts, highlighted by a victory over future world champion Timothy Bradley. He also represented Mexico on the international stage, earning medals at the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games and the 2003 Pan American Games, before competing in the 2004 Olympic Games.

 

Throughout his career, Angulo faced a who’s-who of elite competition, including Canelo Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, Kermit Cintrón, Sergio Mora, and others, earning a reputation as one of boxing’s most fearless and entertaining fighters. His aggressive style and durability have already proven to be a natural fit for bare knuckle.

 

“This is a huge signing for BKB,” said BKB CEO David Tetreault. “Alfredo Angulo is the definition of a warrior. Fans know exactly what they’re going to get every time he steps into the ring—heart, pressure, and nonstop action. He’s built for bare knuckle, and we’re excited to showcase him on the BKB stage.”

 

Angulo’s journey has been marked by resilience as much as success. A highly publicized visa dispute in 2012 saw him detained for eight months, a challenge he overcame with perspective and gratitude—famously donating his hair to Locks of Love during that time to support children battling cancer.

 

“I’ve fought the best in the world, and I’m still hungry,” said Angulo. “Bare knuckle brings out a different kind of fighter, and that’s who I am. I’m ready to give the fans exciting fights and show them that ‘El Perro’ still has a lot left.”

 

Widely regarded as one of the most exciting Mexican fighters of his era, Angulo now looks to carve out a new legacy in bare knuckle boxing under the BKB banner. Angulo is expected to make his BKB debut July 18 at BKB 56 in Los Angeles

 

From its origins in 2015 as BYB Extreme Fighting Series, founded by MMA pioneer Dhafir "Dada 5000" Harris and Mike Vazquez, BKB has transformed bare knuckle boxing into a regulated, globally broadcast powerhouse through strategic acquisitions—including the original UK-based BKB in 2024 and Bad To The Bone in 2025—and a fighter-first philosophy that emphasizes athlete welfare and opportunity. Landmark broadcast partnerships with talkSPORT (UK and Ireland), VICE (US and Canada), and Telemundo (Spanish-language in the US) have delivered live events to millions worldwide.

Big Bad Bazley challenges The Pilgrim Ryan Williams for Heavyweight title May 29 in Perth

Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 

Press Release: April 6, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - May 29th, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the second time this year for 54th Edition of the Iconic Thunderdome series with a stacked card.

One of the main events features undefeated Michael “Big Bad” Bazley 2-0 taking of Ryan Williams for the Western Australian State Championship

Bazley opened up about his title fight challenge;

“For years, people around me like teammates, coaches, and friends told me I had what it takes to be a champion and that I could beat these guys if I really put my mind to it. At the time though, I was just happy staying active and doing it for fun.”

“One of my close mates and I used to joke all the time about me becoming champion. It was always something we laughed about until he passed away in 2025.”

“That hit me like a lightning bolt and changed everything. From that moment, I knew I couldn’t treat this like a hobby anymore. I had to get the job done for him, for everyone who believed in me, and for myself”

Michael Bazley has been studying his opponent for quite some time

“I first saw Ryan on the boxing scene back in 2016 or 2017 when I was watching the Thunderdomes, and I’ve observed him on and off since then. He’s a dangerous and exciting fighter with a never-say-die attitude, which is something I see within myself too.”

“Whenever he was on a card, I always made sure to tune in because you knew it was going to be a great fight. He’s built an amazing fanbase over the years, and it’s great to see.”

“I was a bit surprised when he was lined up to be my first fight for the Alan Pond Cup. It’s a very different thing watching someone from the outside and then stepping in to face them yourself. Although a serious injury meant that fight was cancelled, he took me by surprise at the Thunderdome 53 face-off. “

“You’ve probably noticed I’ve been holding back in my last couple of fights, just trying to get ring time. You’ve earned my respect, so in this one, I won’t be holding anything back”

Your not going to want to miss this one!

Two Crossroads Bouts Kick Off The Month Of April 2026

There inevitably will come a point in most fighters careers throughout combat sports where the line will be thrown out that they or their career is “At a Crossroads.” In most cases, the line is used when fighters are attempting to rebuild after a setback and/or a long stretch of inactivity. The month of April 2026 will begin with two fights featuring three fighters who that line is more than appropriate. Firstly, Boxing’s Heavyweight division will take centerstage when former longtime WBC World Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will square off with longtime contender, current IBF mandatory challenger, and former multi-time world title challenger Derek Chisora at the O2 Arena in London, England in a bout that can be seen on digital subscription sports streaming network DAZN as part of an Ultimate subscription or as a standalone pay-per-view offering.

Of course, when discussing Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder, if one is objective, they would say that we are talking about two of the best Heavyweights over the last twenty years. One a former world champion, who is in the midst of a comeback, one a veteran who has stayed near the top of the Heavyweight division for many years, despite falling short when he has attempted to become a world champion. Ironically, this is a circumstance where one can make a legitimate argument that it is Chisora who has more to lose going into this fight than does the former world champion Wilder. 

Not only due to the fact that it is Chisora who has top billing over Wilder in this fight in all the marketing and promotion for it, but more specifically, due to his having seemingly against steep odds in the twilight of his long career, has gotten himself back in line to challenge for a world championship after having two previous attempts at a world title separated by a decade. While Derek Chisora’s career has been one of hard luck along the way it has also been one of resilience and regardless of what happens in this fight, one should tip their hat to him. 

Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder long ago earned his reputation as one of the hardest punchers and feared “Knockout Artists” in the history of the Heavyweight division. Wilder, however, has seen his career stall, marked by losing his world title, suffering a second loss in an attempt to regain the title, and lengthy stretches of inactivity. In his most recent outing, Wilder scored a seventh round stoppage of Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita, Kansas in June of last year in his first fight since suffering a knockout loss at the hands of Zhilei Zhang one year before. A fight where Wilder gained his forty-third knockout in forty-four career wins, but one where his performance was more measured, tactical, and seemed to indicate a new approach for him in terms of how he fights. If that is indeed the case it no doubt will be put to the test in this fight against Chisora.

Despite being at a significant height disadvantage against most of his opponents throughout his career, Derek Chisora is a come forward pressure fighter, who has fought most of the top Heavyweights of the last fifteen years and will not be intimidated by Wilder’s near 98% career knockout percentage. Chisora, who stands just under 6’2, will be giving up almost six inches in height and nine inches in reach, is coming off of a twelve round unanimous decision over Otto Wallin in February of last year. 

How the fight draws up seems relatively straight forward. As has been the case throughout his entire career, Derek Chisora knows only one direction, forward, and no doubt that will be the fight plan for him here. To attempt to come forward put pressure on Wilder, back him up, and try to force a fight on the inside in an attempt to break him down. Although intimidation is not a factor here, one should keep in mind that Deontay Wilder has knockout power in either hand and is capable of ending a fight at any time if given an opening and is particularly dangerous with his right hand. The fight plan for Wilder should be to try as best as possible to keep Chisora at distance with his longer reach and if Chisora is able to close the gap, immediately tie him up on the inside to force a break by the referee. 

Fighters who have significant height and reach advantages over their opposition are often criticized by fans for implementing such an approach because often it may not be the most entertaining to watch, but a fighter’s primary objective should be to do what they have to do within the rules to achieve victory. A criticism of Wilder some have made throughout his career is he has relied heavily on his punching power to at times get himself out of trouble and ultimately to get the job done. Although punching power is a great asset to have, it should not be the only tool in a fighter’s arsenal and to his credit, Wilder did show in his last fight a consistent effort to try and implement a more disciplined approach, but whether or not that will be as successful against a fighter that applies constant pressure like Chisora or if Wilder will revert back to a power first mentality remains to be seen. The goal of both fighters is to get another opportunity at a world title and we will simply have to see who is able to take the next step in that goal. 

While Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder are at a crossroads in their respective careers, so too is the third fighter who will see action on April 4th. This observer is referring to former WBO Jr. Middleweight champion Tim Tszyu, who will look to continue rebuilding his career by moving up in weight to the 160lb. Middleweight division as he will face undefeated contender Denis Nurja at the WIN Entertainment Centre in New South Wales, Australia in a scheduled ten round bout that can be seen here in the United States on digital subscription general entertainment network Prime Video.

This will be Tszyu’s second fight since being stopped in his rematch with WBC Jr. Middleweight world champion Sebastian Fundora in July of last year. The second loss to Fundora, the man who dethroned him of his WBO world championship in March 2024 was Tszyu’s third career defeat and his second stoppage loss after previously being stopped in a failed attempt to regain a world title against then IBF Jr. Middleweight world champion Bakhram Murtazaliev in October 2024.

What makes this a crossroads fight for Tszyu is for the last two years since his first loss to Fundora, which was a twelve round split decision, Tszyu has found his career stuck in a cycle. Following his first loss to Fundora and his loss to Murtazaliev that followed, Tszyu has seen two victories split between his second loss to Fundora in defeating Brian Mendoza in his first fight following his loss to Murtazaliev, then being stopped by Fundora in seven rounds in their rematch where he submitted in his corner, followed by a win in his last fight, a ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Anthony Velazquez.

The question here going into this fight is whether Tszyu will be able to continue rebuilding his career with another victory or if the cycle will continue with potentially another setback. In Denis Nurja, Tszyu, who will enter with a record of 26-3, with 18 Knockouts, will face a fighter unbeaten in twenty professional fights with nine knockouts.

While the Albanian-born Nurja will be going into the equivalent of a lion's den by facing Tszyu in his home country of Australia where he is unbeaten, he has built an impressive resume against opposition that are not well known, but a potential advantage for the boxer/puncher is he has more experience fighting as a Middleweight compared to Tszyu. Although Tszyu is also a boxer/puncher, most would suggest it is the undefeated fighter here that is taking a step up in caliber of competition against a former world champion. 

Although Nurja is not known for punching power, like Tszyu, he is a fighter that has no issues getting in and mixing it up with his opponents. The question is whether he will be able to do that and have similar success against a fighter of Tszyu’s caliber as he has had against lesser known opposition. A loss here for Tszyu would obviously set him back further, despite facing his second consecutive undefeated opponent, and though Denis Nurja is not a household name at this point in his career, a fighter with an unbeaten record can never be dismissed. 

The crossroads for Tszyu may not be retirement with a loss, but rather a case where his rise as the offspring of a great fighter in Kostya Tszyu, as has been the case for other offspring of great fighters throughout history where it might have been too much, too soon, and a loss here may be an indication to Tszyu and his handlers that a more thorough rebuild might be necessary, rather than trying to get him back into position to challenge for a world title within a narrow timeframe as other fighters including legends of the sport have found at other stages of their careers, 

With the spotlight firmly focused on these two fights, it is simply a matter of seeing what happens for Chisora, Wilder, Tszyu, and Nurja as career paths will no doubt be affected by what occurs on Saturday, April 4th.
