Who wins: Amir Khan-Adrien Broner – rumours suggest the fight is in the works

Just last week, Amir Khan put out a tantalising tweet in which he wrote how he has a “big announcement” that he will make in the coming days. As soon as fight fans read the message, speculation was rife on what the former 140 pound champion’s announcement might be.

Khan is, as we know, itching to fight again, for the first time since he was stopped by Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in a catch-weight affair that took place in May of 2015, and a rumour has begun circulating (via Boxing Planet and Boxing Kingdom) that suggests Khan will face none other than Adrien Broner this March. Khan did say a while back how he wanted his next fight to take place before his home fans in the UK, but money, and opportunity, talks. If Khan has been offered a big fight with Broner, of course it makes plenty of sense for him to take it.

Gennady Golovkin Vs. Julian Jackson: Talk about a Dream Fight!

Reigning middleweight king Gennady Golovkin has thus far stood up to every punch he has been hit with, he has beaten every man he has faced at pro level (Canelo Alvarez aside, yet most people feel GGG did more than enough to have won the September Super-Fight that was instead scored as a draw) and he has made an incredible number of title retentions.

Anthony Joshua: If Fury was fit, we’d probably be talking about March

Anthony Joshua: If Fury was fit, we'd probably be talking about March

While unbeaten former heavyweight champ (still lineal) Tyson Fury continues to call out reigning WBA/IBF champ Anthony Joshua for his first fight back – the return expected, Fury says, in either April or May – Joshua has replied by stating how this is mere “fantasy” on the part of Fury.

Fury, 25-0, who has hurled all manner of insults at Joshua, 20-0, has questioned whether or not AJ “has the balls” to fight him. In response, Joshua has told the Daily Mail how if it were up to him, he would fight Fury next – but that he cannot do so as, “he’s just not fit, he hasn’t had a fight.”

Lolenga Mock: The toughest 45 year old in boxing today

Lolenga Mock: The toughest 45 year old in boxing today

Born in Kinshasa, Zaire in April of 1972, Lolenga Mock is arguably the toughest, grittiest “old man” in boxing today – and the super-middleweight/light-heavyweight is largely operating under the radar. Yesterday in Copenhagen, Denmark, Mock upset former interim WBA middleweight champ Dmitry Chudinov via close but unanimous ten-round decision.

Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua: A modern day Foreman-Lyle!?

What took place inside the erected boxing ring at Caesars Palace on the 24th of January 1976 rocked, thrilled, shocked and stunned fight fans the world over.

Both hunting another shot at the coveted world title, these two tough guys went at it in simply crazy fashion; the pair caring nothing for defence as they traded leather – and knockdowns.

Marciano’s 49-0, Mayweather’s 50-0, Foreman’s record as oldest heavyweight champ – Wilder says he can break ’em all!

Marciano's 49-0, Mayweather's 50-0, Foreman's record as oldest heavyweight champ – Wilder says he can break 'em all!

WBC heavyweight king Deontay Wilder is in a mood to not only break opponents, and their bones, but also world records. Wilder, currently unbeaten with impressive 39-0 numbers (all but one of his wins coming via stoppage) says he can “easily” top Floyd Mayweather’s astonishing 50-0 pro record; Floyd actually besting heavyweight immortal Rocky Marciano’s magic 49-0 number this year (some say with an asterisk firmly placed alongside the 50-0 due to the fact that Mayweather picked up his “final” win against a boxing novice).
