The story going into the WBC World Welterweight championship bout between champion Mario Barrios and top contender Ryan Garcia was one that differed from the norm. Of course, the standard narrative when a fighter challenges for a world title as Garcia was here, is one where the onus is largely on the challenger to not only put forth an impressive performance to the best of their ability, but to do so in such a way that they take the title from the champion in a convincing fashion that it not only generates buzz, but also quells any would-be critics. In this case, both fighters had something to prove in the ring on February 21st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Despite entering what was his third defense of the WBC Welterweight world championship, Mario Barrios was still seeking the validation that often comes with being a world champion. Although he managed to retain his crown in his two previous defenses, he had to settle for two consecutive bouts that ended up being scored dra...

On February 21st, the Boxing world will converge on the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV for a truly interesting and some might argue curious world title bout in the 147lb. Welterweight division. WBC World Welterweight champion Mario Barrios will defend his title against top contender Ryan Garcia in a bout scheduled for twelve rounds that can be seen globally as part of a DAZN Ultimate subscription or as a standalone pay-per-view option for non-ultimate DAZN subscribers. What makes this both an interesting and curious affair between two fighters is both have arguably not been at their best in recent outings. The champion Mario Barrios will be making the third defense of his WBC crown and has not heard his name announced as the winner in his previous title defenses up to this point as his previous two defenses each ended in hotly contested draws. The most recent of those defenses came in July of last year when forty-six year old recent International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and le...

We would like to let our readers know that after an almost two month hiatus, we will begin easing back into covering the sport of Boxing here on The Boxing Truth® beginning with the February 21st WBC World Welterweight championship bout between champion Mario Barrios and challenger Ryan Garcia , which will be taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV . The reason for the hiatus has been due to a personal tragedy that we here at The Boxing Truth® and the Denison family suffered during the later days of 2025, which necessitated that we pause our schedule. This was also why scheduled coverage of the December 19, 2025 bout between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul , which was to be our last bout covered for 2025 before breaking for the Christmas holidays, was cancelled on short notice. While we personally do not make a habit of canceling what is or had been scheduled abruptly as we take pride in what we do and value our readers as well as our role in covering the sport of Boxing, ...

We would like to provide our readers with a brief update. Over the Christmas holidays, we here at The Boxing Truth® and the Denison family suffered an unexpected personal tragedy, which unfortunately occurred during the week of the Anthony Joshua-Jake Paul bout on December 19th, which in turn, resulted in that bout not being covered as originally planned and the ongoing pause in our schedule, which has gone into the month of January.  We do want to let readers know that due to the aforementioned circumstances and given that the 2026 Boxing schedule has already begun in our absence, there will be no 2026 edition of Beau Denison’s annual Boxing Wishlist, which was in the works prior to things having to be paused due to the aforementioned circumstances and typically begins the calendar year each year here at The Boxing Truth®. It is our intention for that annual feature to return in its normal slot as beginning our schedule for the new year in 2027 and we sincerely apologize for any...

We would like to let our readers know that due to circumstances beyond our control and a personal matter, we have closed our 2025 schedule earlier than originally announced. Due to the aforementioned circumstances, we have no information at this time as to when the 2026 schedule will begin for us here at The Boxing Truth®. We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, but we ask for and appreciate your patience and understanding at this time. We will, however, be back in the New Year.  Thank you.

On December 19th, aspiring boxer Jake Paul , who had previously been known as a social media influencer, will return to the ring for his fourteenth professional fight. While this noted Boxing scribe has been critical of Paul, who has frequently boasted about his desire to become a world champion, but has not compiled a resume of opponents that would suggest legitimacy of trying to attain that goal, having faced primarily fighters who have come from the sport of MMA, who had limited or no Boxing experience, or those who have come either from an influencer background or in one case one retired hall of fame fighter who was twenty years removed from a competitive fight, while simultaneously giving him credit for his promotional savvy and in particular what he has done in advocating and helping advance and elevate Women's Boxing, to be honest, I did not feel optimistic when Paul's original fight, which was to take place during the month of November was announced. This was due to Pau...
