For those who follow the Boxing scene in the state of Florida, there will be no shortage of action as there will be four Boxing cards scheduled to take place over a five day period throughout the state.   As a veteran Boxing scribe who is always monitoring the upcoming schedule worldwide in search of fights and full cards that I will be covering, I felt this provided a unique opportunity to spotlight some of the upcoming bouts that will be taking place on these cards in the sunshine state. First up, promoter Anthony Arvelo’s Undisputed Promotions will present a Boxing card at the Kissimmee Civic Center on January 20 th . Headlining this card will be Jr. Welterweight contender Wesley Ferrer facing Jonhatan Cardoso.   This will be a fight between two fighters who are trying to work their way int...

With all signs seemingly pointing towards a showdown between the two undefeated world champions in Boxing’s Heavyweight division Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for what would be the Undisputed Heavyweight championship of the world appearing to be nearly finalized for a date in the spring, there are questions surrounding the rest of the division. Normally when a fight such as one for an undisputed world championship, the question that inevitably is asked is who might the first potential challenger be when the smoke clears for the new undisputed champion. Over the many years that this observer has covered the sport of Boxing including countries unification and undisputed world championship bouts throughout the entire sport, I have also learned to ask another question. Out of numerous contenders and prospects, who might be able to step into position to face either champion in a proposed unification bout, should the opportunity suddenly become available.  With this in mind, there is pot...

Women's Boxing has continued to make strides and receive long overdue recognition and respect in recent years. After all, the fight between undefeated Undisputed Lightweight world champion Katie Taylor and multi-division world champion Amanda Serrano, which sold out New York’s Madison Square Garden in April of last year was not just a landmark night for women in the sport for being the first Women’s bout to headline a card in The Garden, it turned out to be a candidate for Fight of the Year not just for Women’s Boxing, but for the sport overall. With that memorable night still fresh in the minds of many, including this observer, it seems in some ways like poetic justice that one of the first major bouts of 2023 will feature the women of the sport as two world champions put their respective crowns on the line to partially unify their division. This observer is referring to the Light-Flyweight unification bout between WBC world champion Kim Clavel and WBA world champion Jessica Plata...
