The Boxing Truth®

On July 27th, the focus of the world will center on the beginning of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. It will be on day 1 of the Olympic Boxing competition that the focus will largely be dominated by Women's bouts as a field of over 120 women in various weight divisions attempt to win Olympic Gold. The strides of Women's Boxing in the Olympics and the sport overall for Women that has taken place over the last decade is something that has been long overdue and cannot be denied. It was at the 2012 Olympics in London, England where one fighter became the focal point that in large part has helped to lead the way for such growth. This observer is referring to Claressa Shields, who not only became the first Women's Olympic Gold Medalist in United States Boxing history, but four years later would duplicate that accomplishment at the 2016 games in Brazil, not only duplicating what she had done four years earlier, but making history as the only boxer in United States Olymp...

Press Release: June 2, 2023   By Liam Solomon/LegalSportsBooks.com -  Liam Solomon recently sat down for an interview with former Olympic Gold medalist and former world title challenger Audley Harrison. Giving his heavyweight prediction on what would be the fight of the decade, Harrison said; “Tyson Fury isn’t a big puncher, so he’s someone that would wear you down. Now he’s with SugarHill Steward. Tyson Fury has always been a good boxer, even from the amateurs he’s been a quality boxer. But what they have done now as a pro, going to SugarHill, he’s taught him about going forward. Now he’s using his weight and he’s able to go forward. He’s not a big puncher but over time, with his mental strength as well, you’d have to make him the favourite against Joshua. But you definitely cannot rule Joshua out. He’s going to come in in great shape and he’s got to go forward and put that pressure on.” Fury is all hype & games - sending contract to Joshua Reacting to the news that ...

It is the beginning of a new year. What that means for readers here on The Boxing Truth® is it is time for this observer to share his annual “Boxing Wishlist” regarding some of the things that I would like to see in the sport during the upcoming year. While yours truly is writing this year’s edition of his “Boxing Wishlist” in the latter days of 2022 ahead of its scheduled release, I feel it important to state for anyone who may be reading what has become an annual tradition for me at the beginning of a calendar year that this list does not feature a formal list from 1 to 10 for example as one would see in a countdown-like television show, but rather you will see this observer list an item and go into an explanation as to why it is on the list and hopefully a brief explanation or as brief as I can make it within the context of a single column as to my feelings on the subject. As tends to also be the case with each passing year, there will be items that have been featured in previous ye...

  16 days, 25 sessions, and 276 fights. A period of time between between July 23 rd  and August 8 th,  2021where the long delayed 2020 Summer Olympics took place in Tokyo, Japan. The numbers that began this column is in reference to the Olympic Boxing tournament, which was held at the  Kokugikan Arena. While it can be a cliché to say, the tournament that takes place under normal circumstances every four years is truly a marathon that often sees a mix of competitive bouts and controversy. For the most part, the 2020 tournament was void of many of the controversial elements that have plagued many previous Olympic tournaments.   This observer says “For the most part” because after all, even with overall improvement in the way the Olympic Boxing tournament was conducted from start to finish under the oversight of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Boxing Task Force, replacing the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA), it is impossible to completel...

  We would like to let our readers know that the delayed second feature looking at the 2020 Olympic Boxing tournament will be released here on the website on Thursday, August 26th. We apologize for the delay. Stay tuned. “And That’s The Boxing Truth.” The Boxing Truth ®️  is a registered trademark of Beau Denison All Rights Reserved.

  The time has come once more where the world focuses much of its attention over a span of two weeks for the Summer Olympic Games. Obviously, this time, the 2020 games is actually taking place in 2021 after a year’s delay due to the ongoing global COVID-19. As most know, even with a year delay from when the games were originally scheduled in the summer of last year, these Olympics have taken place under significant controversy due to the ongoing circumstances of the global COVID-19 crisis around the world, but more specifically in the games’ host country Japan.   While this observer will not give the reader a long thorough rehash of everything that has gone on, those who know me and those who follow yours truly across social media platforms including  Twitter  know that I have heavily criticized the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for its decision to go on with the rescheduled games, despite mounting evidence that it was not in the best interest...
