It wasn’t to be for Conor Benn on Saturday night as the Brit suffered the first defeat of his professional career at the hands of the superstar that is Ryan Garcia.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, but this isn’t just “good”; it is something special. Something that the world of boxing has never witnessed in its 5,000+ years of existence. This Saturday night, a trailblazer bows out of the sport in the most spectacular setting imaginable, as Katie Taylor brings an end to her illustrious 28-year career as a boxer in front of a sold-out crowd, just an hour down the road from where she was born and raised, at Croke Park in Dublin.

It’s almost becoming a bit of a British tradition to kick one of our own when they’re down and on Saturday night, the tradition somewhat continued.  A huge favourite, Moses Itauma came up just short in his first world title fight against Filip Hrgovic.  At the age of just 21, he was attempting to become the second-youngest world champion in heavyweight boxing history.

For quite literally over a century, American boxers have dominated the heavyweight division.

There’s nothing quite like a Saturday double-header and that’s exactly what we get this weekend, with a super-middleweight banger in Leeds for British, Commonwealth and European honours, along with a proper 50/50 between two undefeated fighters for a vacant world title in Dublin.

Combat sports have been around for quite literally thousands of years, but in recent times, an old favourite has reignited the bloodlust of many, and it only seems to be getting bigger and better with every show.
