Oleksandr Usyk is the new undisputed heavyweight champion. That sentence alone tells you what you need to know. There were other details, sure. Like how Tyson Fury put up a scrap, and how it was a great fight. And the locale was interesting.On
In today's boxing world, wins and losses mean everything. Or at least they seem to mean a lot more than they should, especially when you consider just how many great fighters lost their pro debut.On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podc

At one point, the heavyweight championship was the most-coveted title in mainstream sports. Management teams and promoters are often inspired to take shortcuts, or at least unconventional paths, to lead a fighter to something nearing the heavyw
A pugilistic tale as old as time: how do today's best fighters measure up to history's best fighters? Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez, Tyson Fury, Terence Crawford, Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk and company... How would they do against the leaders of yeste
Few fights define almost everything great about boxing the way Diego Corrales wild victory over José Luis Castillo did. When it comes to fights reaching peak insanity, Corrales-Castillo is basically still the standard 20 years later.On this ep
Believe it or not, 2023 was a fantastic year for boxing. Even if we're saying goodbye to at least one major fight institution in Showtime Boxing, fans were treated to several very big fights, a few matchups that satisfied the hardcore contingen
Floyd Mayweather is one of the biggest boxing stars of all time, so naturally there will be more scrutiny of his career than others. It may be somewhat unfair, but it also makes sense.His two fights with Marcos Maidana are often cited as two o
How could a heavyweight champion and Olympic medalist be all but forgotten? "Big" John Tate was a member of a the legendary 1976 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team, and later won a version of the heavyweight championship, yet few remember the man or the
Some sets of fighters, like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Márquez for instance, match up like puzzle pieces. Just when one pulls away and seems to be greater, the other roars back and again proved to be their equal. Pacquiao and Márquez did th
We all thought Tyson Fury would probably outbox Francis Ngannou with ease. It was only logical. But then Tyson Fury had to go ahead an underestimate the UFC's lineal (but deposed) heavyweight champion.It doesn't even matter that Tyson Fury won
We already discussed some high-profile fighters who fought for extended periods of time in Part 1 of the Longest Fighting Careers series. But in a sport full of fighters who fought for a long time, we may have left a few out.On this episode of
Even if you're not quite old enough to remember when James "Buster" Douglas upset Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship back in 1990, you're almost certainly well aware that it was a massive upset. Just how massive? More than 30 years lat
Boxing was wild in the 1970s. And before that too, for that matter, but the sports opened new doors during the 70s, and one of those doors led to Rahway State Prison in New Jersey, where James Scott lived. And fought professionally.On this epi

It's said fighters often feel some kind of bond after a grueling fight, and fighters who go to war together are forever linked. Some fights, like Robert Quiroga vs Akeem Anifowoshe, 1991's "Fight of the Year," epitomize the idea that once two f
So why didn't Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe ever fight? And what exactly happened that one time they met in the ring?On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler break down the matchup between Le
Mike Tyson and George Foreman are two of the biggest heavyweight punchers both of recent memory, and all-time. And they almost fought!On this episoe of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler talk about why Ty
Fighters fight on too long as a general rule. Even so, some fighters notably have longer careers than others.On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember a handful of f
Floyd Mayweather's victory over Oscar de la Hoya was a star-making performance, yet many seem to disagree with the final decision. That makes it a good fight to revisit and re-score.There was also a small matter of Oscar de la Hoya's recent "
It makes sense that the biggest fighters are the biggest punchers. Rocky Marciano, Mike Tyson, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and so forth are legendary punchers, but where do they rank on the list of heavyweight champions with the most knockouts?He
