Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Nickal said the matchup…
Puerto Rican boxer Nestor Bravo produced a devastating early Knockout of the Year contender just 10 days into 2026. Fighting on the undercard at the Barclays Center in New York, Bravo floored Mexico’s Pedro Campa with a vicious left hook in the second round. Campa collapsed face-first onto the canvas, unable to continue after one of the year’s most brutal finishes so far. The win moved Bravo to 24-1 as a professional, with 17 knockouts, and marked a strong rebound from his split-decision loss to Xolisani Ndongeni last March. The knockout quickly spread across social media, with fans already labeling…
Jason Luv has issued a stark warning to Adam22 ahead of their upcoming boxing match, claiming his opponent will learn the difference between “man and beast” in the ring.

Former UFC champion and commentator Michael Bisping believes only two of the UFC’s men’s divisions will have different champions by the end of 2026. After a chaotic 2025 that saw 11 title changes, Bisping expects far more stability among male champions. Only Tom Aspinall and Valentina Shevchenko carried their belts from the start of 2025 into 2026, with Aspinall sidelined by eye injuries. Bisping predicts new champions at flyweight and bantamweight, backing Manel Kape to claim gold regardless of whether Alexandre Pantoja earns a rematch, and expecting Merab Dvalishvili to regain his bantamweight title. He declined to predict the featherweight…
Diego Lopes says lessons learned from his first title defeat have left him better prepared for a second shot at UFC gold. Lopes lost a five-round decision to Alexander Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 314 but will challenge him again later this month at UFC 325 on Volkanovski’s home turf. Despite hurting the champion at times, Lopes admitted he never felt comfortable shooting for takedowns, attempting none during the fight. He believes Volkanovski’s movement and disciplined adherence to instructions from his corner prevented him from finding grappling opportunities. Lopes said hearing Volkanovski’s coaches repeatedly reinforce the game plan…
Anthony Joshua could have his next fight lined up through an unexpected Hollywood connection if he returns to boxing later this year.

If that happens, kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven has emerged as a potential opponent. According to journalist Ariel Helwani, the idea was sparked by actor Jason Statham during a discussion with Turki Alalshikh…
The comments refer not only to a potential bout with Michael Chandler, whom Conor McGregor is widely expected to face at the proposed UFC White House event, but also to a far more unexpected name: Mike Tyson. Tyson, one of boxing’s most iconic figures, is currently due to take part in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather later this year, a matchup that could be placed in jeopardy if any alternative high-profile fight were to emerge. The speculation is heightened by the close personal relationship between McGregor and Tyson. The Irishman recently welcomed Tyson to his Dublin pub during a…
