The Boxing Truth®

  In April of this year, the long wait for longtime Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte to receive an opportunity to fight for the WBC World Heavyweight championship came to an end when Whyte finally stood across the ring from undefeated WBC Heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury before a crowd of over 90,000 at the legendary Wembley Stadium. Despite giving a good account of himself, Whyte exited the bout with Fury without the WBC world championship in the Heavyweight division, being knocked out by one uppercut in the sixth round. The question that normally follows a fighter losing a world championship fight whether they be in the role of champion or challenger is the same, when will the rebuilding process begin?   For Dillian Whyte, the process began on November 26 th at the Wembley Arena as he faced undefeated, but largely unknown Heavyweight Jermaine Franklin in a scheduled twelve round bout. Although Whyte has been in a position similar to the one he was in going into the ...

  While it was originally intended as a monthly to bi-monthly feature that was introduced earlier this year by this observer here on The Boxing Truth® as a means to frankly cover as much ground as possible in covering the sport of Boxing beyond the short-form card coverage and individual features that cover specific fights and subjects throughout the calendar year, Jabs And Observations has been absent since March. Although this was not intended as such, I felt coverage provided throughout 2022 had been smooth where the feature would be used on an occasional basis for the remainder of the year when circumstances warranted, with the aim of returning it as a bi-monthly feature column in 2023. As tends to be the case from the months of September through the remainder of a year, yours truly began the month of September in the midst of what I consider to be my norm, covering what usually tends to be a very active Boxing schedule during the latter months of the year. Even though most ...

    Press Release: By Probellum – SHEFFIELD, NOVEMBER  9 – Jack Bateson and Shabaz Masoud have fired warning shots at each other ahead of their barnstorming battle of top British prospects.  Credit: Probellum   Bateson and Masoud clash in a sizzling super bantamweight showdown at Probellum Sheffield on Friday night – and both men have rubbished big claims from their rival.   Leeds hero Bateson has poured scorn on Masoud being the betting favourite and insists ‘Maverick’ has heaped pressure on himself with his pre-fight confidence.   Stoke’s Masoud is certain of “comfortably” beating Bateson and says he sees plenty of weaknesses in the former medal-winning Great Britain amateur star.   Bateson and Masoud come head-to-head at today’s press conference in the Steel City and the tension between the pair is simmering as fight night nears.   Jack Bateson (17-0) said: “I’m not sure why Shabaz is the favourite with the bookies, but it’s a mistake, tha...
