My Feb / March issue has just arrived. Mine too. Naz on the cover, had a flick through and looks quality again. BN said they would email previews out to subscribers, has anyone had one of them? I haven't. I tried to PM you but the message is just sitting in my outbox not being sent. Please email me...

And a shot Spinks ended up losing to a debutant

I was going to nominate you!

Hope it survives, I can live with monthly, better that than nothing. Really hope so. It will be a sad day if it goes under… like the end of an era. It will feel like a friend died….. I prefer Boxing News to my friends…BN never lets me down 🫢 Even when we go from seeing you every week to once a month?

I understand the need to game the algorithm and the effect of cutbacks but the click bate headlines on the website over the last month have been cancerous. "The one man" "Names the one fighter" ect. I hope that strategy is successful for you. Completely agree, and the website is...

1. Will there still be an amateur section? 2. Will you be putting more vids up on the YouTube channel? Surely with the brand there is potential for a channel as big as IFLTV? 1. Yes. Obviously the amount will be reduced from the current 4 pages a week, but there will definitely still be amateur cov...

Hello all, Oliver Fennell here. Thought I should chip in with some info, answers, etc. First of all, thanks for all the comments and feedback so far. BoxRec is always a good gauge of the Boxing News readership or at least the kind of demographic that BN aims for or appeals to. Those who do get the m...

We've come a long way since Charlie Zelenoff, TML and oven mitts!

Hi all, Just thought I'd chip in the capacity of managing editor, which was made official earlier this month. I don't want to go over the ins and outs of what's happened at BN over the past several months, but rest assured the magazine is not in danger. Those members of staff who left had their reas...

I wonder if FightFax will include the Bridgerweight title fights - another thing BoxRec refuses to do! I don't personally agree with the new division but it exists nevertheless. I agree with BoxRec on this one. There is not a consensus because the WBO and IBF have not recognized this weight class. ...

The unanswered question I have: Is it BoxRec that removed WBA history from BoxRec (upset that the WBA left)? Or is it the WBA who didn't want their stuff on BoxRec (in an effort to replace BoxRec)? I doubt that the WBA would not want their titles listed on BoxRec. The ratings on Fight Fax for male ...

Yes, could we please have an official explanation telling us why this ridiculous situation has occurred. Thank you. You won't get one. I was a Boxrec editor for more than 20 years, completely voluntary. A few months ago in what may have been a precursor of this, the WBA Asia and Continental titles ...

Boxing News rarely involves itself in anything remotely controversial Ah Spud, me old mate. Still talking nonsense after all these years, I see. After 40 years being at the very heart of professional boxing in the UK, including being a mod on a boxing forum AND the man whose job it was to tap on Da...

Boxing News rarely involves itself in anything remotely controversial Ah Spud, me old mate. Still talking nonsense after all these years, I see. Either you're trolling or have an axe to grind or don't actually read the thing you're criticising. In recent years, just off the top of my head, subjects...

A few have tested positive, and been punished, for cannabis, which is the opposite of a performance enhancer. Mike Tyson's NC with Golota is for that reason.

Ritson was an awesome British champion. Doesn't he hold the record for the fastest Lonsdale belt? He's just caught between LW and LWW. He can't have beaten Rhodes. Perhaps he was is the quickest with the rules of three defences and ones a mandatory I think quickest in this sense refers to fewest nu...

Sounds awfully similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Knockout_Boxing

Haye, Froch etc were kicked off the beeb to make way for Fraudley No they weren't. Check the timeline. They were not on the BBC before Audley's deal, nor had anyone else been for years prior. They and many other boxers only ended up on the BBC precisely because of the investment in boxing triggered...

Absolutely.

Also, he was much maligned for "causing" the BBC to pull out of boxing, but actually it was him who brought it back in the first place, and for 4 years or so they invested heavily in it and brought heaps of boxing from both sides of the Atlantic.

Some familiar names and nicknames here. Whoever thought my old rucking partner (and everyone else's) would trigger such a warm-hearted reunion?

Bloody imports, come over here, take all the jobs...

Does anyone know the approximate times of the fights on Saturday? I will be watching live in Thailand but it will be the early hours of the morning here, so I plan to get a few hours sleep first but don't want to oversleep. I'd like to watch the three titles fights at least.

Cheers.

Hey guys, I haven't been on Boxrec regularly for ages (probably years) but the long-standing Aussie members may remember me as we had a few spats along the way when they'd get upset at any critical assessment of your boxers ;) Anyway that's just for background, just wanted to offer congratulations ...
