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. 

This Saturday night, history could be made as the undefeated heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma aims to become the second-youngest heavyweight world champion in boxing history when he takes on the experienced Croat Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF World Heavyweight Title.

Here we go again… Scarily, for the second time this month, what should be a review of one of the fights of the year is instead a review of another poor piece of officiating by a repeat offender.

After a week off, big-time heavyweight boxing returns to the shores of England this weekend as former world champion Joseph Parker steps back into action against the hard-hitting, undefeated Fabio Wardley at the O2 Arena.

If there’s one thing heavyweight boxing fans should have learnt over the past decade, it’s that writing off Derek Chisora is, more often than not, a foolish exercise.

There are not many finer sights in British boxing than an all-British heavyweight main event in front of a sold-out arena, where the winner will put themselves back into world title contention whilst the loser will almost certainly be looking down the barrel of retirement.

One.

That’s how many stoppage wins Anthony Joshua had in the last five years heading into his fight with Robert Helenius this weekend.

If you’d told us a week ago that we’d be just around the corner from an Anthony Joshua versus Robert Helenius clash, we would have politely suggested you’d lost your marbles given the fact the Brit was preparing for a rematch with Dillian Whyte.

There’s never a dull moment in boxing and if there were ever five days to optimise that, then it’s most certainly been the last 120 hours.
