Andy Cruz’s professional record says 7–1. It tells you almost nothing about how experienced he really is. His next fight could make that contradiction impossible to ignore. Raymond Muratalla has vacated the IBF lightweight championship to move to 140 pounds, and the sanctioning body has ordered Cruz to face unbeaten Artur Subkhankulov for the vacant title. The camps have 30 days to negotiate before the fight can move toward a purse bid. If the matchup is finalized and Cruz wi

Conor Benn is forcing his body toward 147 pounds for the biggest fight of his career. He has already announced that he never intends to make the weight again. On Saturday in Las Vegas, Benn will challenge Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight championship. The belt represents a destination Benn has discussed for years: a world title in the division where he began building his name. The route there has become a contradiction. Benn has described the cut as “brutal” and “excrucia

Katie Taylor’s gloves rested in the center of the ring at Croke Park while more than 80,000 people remained standing around them. For years, those gloves had represented work still to be done: another opponent, another title, another risk, another demand that Taylor prove something she had already proved. On Saturday night, she placed them on the canvas because there was finally nothing left to chase. Taylor defeated previously unbeaten Flora Pili by scores of 100–90, 100–90

Andy Ruiz Jr. sat on the canvas in the seventh round Friday night with Damian Knyba standing across the ring and seven missing years suddenly visible between them. Ruiz beat the count. He made it to the final bell. But the comeback he had described as the beginning of another heavyweight title run already felt as if it had reached its answer. Knyba won a unanimous decision at Prudential Center in Newark, controlling long stretches of the fight with his height, reach and jab.

On June 1, 2019, Andy Ruiz Jr. climbed into a ring at Madison Square Garden as a late replacement and walked out having changed heavyweight boxing. Anthony Joshua was supposed to use that night as a grand American introduction. Instead, Ruiz absorbed an early knockdown, rose from the canvas and turned the division upside down. Ruiz did not simply win a fight. He seized the unified heavyweight championship and authored the kind of upset that becomes permanent boxing folklore.

After all these years, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are reportedly stuck on geography. Fury’s side is pushing for the United States, with Madison Square Garden discussed as the kind of stage that could frame the event. Joshua’s side has argued that the agreement points toward Britain, where Wembley Stadium remains the natural home for the biggest all-British heavyweight fight of the era. Fury has publicly threatened to move on. The accusations have started again. Taken alone

Boxing does not usually give its legends a clean exit. The sport is built on fighters staying one night too long, chasing one more payday, losing control of their final chapter or saying goodbye in a building that never understood what the journey meant. Even great careers often end in uncertainty rather than celebration. Katie Taylor has a chance to receive something far rarer. On September 5, Taylor is scheduled to face the undefeated Flora Pili at a sold-out Croke Park in

When Filip Hrgovic stopped Moses Itauma in the ninth round to become heavyweight champion, the result looked like the completion of a long-delayed plan. Hrgovic had spent years close to the front of the heavyweight line. He had the size, amateur pedigree and professional résumé of a fighter expected to reach a title. The only uncertainty seemed to be when his opportunity would arrive. What the public could not see was how close that opportunity came to disappearing completely

Two elite names do not automatically create an elite matchup. Claressa Shields and Chantelle Cameron have become linked to a potential fight, and the appeal is obvious. Shields is one of the most accomplished fighters of her generation. Cameron has already proven that she can thrive under pressure, absorb difficult moments, and impose a relentless pace against world-class opposition. Put those names on the same poster and the fight immediately feels important. But the central

Malachi Ross stopped 11-2 Semajay Thomas in three rounds to move to 6-0. Why the 20-year-old junior middleweight prospect is becoming one to watch at 154.

Conor Benn is dropping back to 147 pounds to challenge Ryan Garcia, and recent photos have raised questions about the weight cut. Here’s why it matters.

Jaron Ennis is facing criticism over a possible Josh Kelly fight instead of Vergil Ortiz Jr. But the situation is more complicated than the ducking accusations suggest.

Teofimo Lopez is targeting the winner of Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn. If Ryan wins on September 12, one of boxing’s biggest welterweight fights could be next.

Moses Itauma looked in control before Filip Hrgovic turned the fight around in round nine. Here’s what changed, why Itauma faded and what comes next.
