The Boxing Truth®

The sport of Boxing is one that doesn’t not have a standard schedule or a “Season” if you will. For a sport that runs fifty-two weeks a year, there is certainly no shortage of events for the Boxing fan to view. While there are certain marquee attractions that take place throughout a calendar year featuring some of the best fighters in the sport squaring off against each other that generates the interest of not only the Boxing enthusiast, but also the casual observer, there are also times where curiosity alone is enough to draw interest. One of those events will take place this weekend as YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul will make their respective professional debuts in an anticipated rematch in the main event of a professional Boxing card at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. The card, which will be broadcast in the United States and several international countries by digital subscription sports streaming network DAZN as well as on Sky Box Office Pay-Per-View throughout the ...

There is nothing quite like the anticipation that comes before an encounter between two of Boxing’s top stars. When that anticipation is accompanied with an element of the unknown, more often than not, the Boxing fan is treated to a special night at the fights. In the case of the Light-Heavyweight world championship fight between WBO world champion Sergey Kovalev and current unified Middleweight world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, you had two top stars in the sport. One many felt was in the twilight of his career, while the other was attempting something that even in the modern era was rare. The element of intrigue that accompanied this fight was the fact that Alvarez was moving up two weight classes to the 175lb. Light-Heavyweight division from the 160lb. Middleweight division to challenge Kovalev for his world championship. When one considers that Alvarez, who spent the bulk of his career as a 154lb. Jr. Middleweight, actually began his career in the 147lb. Welterweight di...
