It’s been another completely bats*it mental week in the world of boxing. From two-weight champions failing drug tests to legends of the sport calling out footballers, it’s really had it all. We’ll be taking a look through the hottest topics of the past week, starting with Ben Whittaker’s impressive win on Saturday night.

In what was set to be Callum Smith’s homecoming against David Morrell Jr, Olympic silver medallist Ben Whittaker will now headline his second show on the bounce against the Argentine, Braian Suárez.

Nick Ball makes his second consecutive defence of his WBA World Featherweight Title on home soil this weekend as he faces former world champion TJ Doheny in Liverpool.

In the blue corner, hailing from Liverpool and armed with more belts than a flashy Italian tailor, stand the Smith brothers: Callum, Liam, Stephen, and Paul. But these lads aren’t just a family—they’re a force. They’ve stormed through the British and world boxing scenes, collecting titles, breaking jaws, and building a legacy that makes one thing clear: If we’re talking British boxing families, the Smiths might just be the top dogs.

Jorge Linares closed the curtain on an iconic boxing career after he was outpointed by Jack Catterall on a fairly unremarkable night in Liverpool.

Top super-lightweight contender Jack Catterall returns to action this weekend as he faces off with former three-weight world champion Jorge Linares in Liverpool.

Jack Catterall headlines Matchroom’s Saturday show at Liverpool’s Echo Arena as he continues on his warpath to boxing justice. It has been a long 18 months since he should have been crowned undisputed world champion, and, for us as well as him, maybe it is time to forget. 

Televised boxing heads north this weekend as the man who many believe is the uncrowned undisputed super-lightweight champion of the world, Jack Catterall, faces off against the legendary Jorge Linares for the WBA Inter-Continental Super-Lightweight title.

While that particular fight tops the bill, here we take a detailed look at an action-packed undercard in Liverpool.
