Stevie Morgan: Beyond The Ropes I've had to sadly write a few obituaries over the last year or so. Georgia O'Connor and Hannah Rapp spring to mind. Two fighters with their whole lives seemingly ahead of them. Both were taken from us far too soon. O'Connor, an unbeaten British fighter, was just 25 when her … Continue reading Stevie Morgan: Beyond The Ropes
Ryan Garcia Stops Conor Benn in Two Rounds In many ways, Conor Benn was always rolling the dice on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The pre-fight odds always suggested it was going to be way too much for the British fighter, and so it proved. Ryan Garcia (26-2) retained his WBC … Continue reading Ryan Garcia Stops Conor Benn in Two Rounds
Stevie Morgan: "It could have gone bad. They had the guns right to our heads; it was wild."

They had the guns right to our heads; it was wild.”
Star Power: Tiah-Mai Ayton Stops Ellie Hellewell in London Tiah-Mai Ayton gave another little demonstration of her potential when she stopped Ellie Hellewell at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday night.

Ginny Fuchs: Beyond The Ropes It was always going to be a tough ask. Even Ginny Fuchs probably didn't realise how much of a challenge it would be. Fuchs (4-1) hadn't fought since August 2024. A split-decision victory over Adelaida Ruiz that earned Fuchs the WBC interim super-flyweight title. A gruesome thumb sustained in that … Continue reading Ginny Fuchs: Beyond The Ropes
Stevie Morgan: "I want to fight Stephanie Han." It was another day of training for the American lightweight contender Stevie Morgan. Even the supposed day of rest didn't apply to her.

Ringside Report: Caroline Dubois Defeats Terri Harper To Become The Unified World Lightweight Champion It was a little harder than many expected, but Caroline Dubois defeated Terri Harper at the Olympia in London on Sunday night to become a unified world lightweight champion.

Emma Dolan: "It's My Time." By Garry White “Those places smelt of cheap fags and beer. That kind of stale cocktail will always take me back to my early amateur fights,” laughs IBF super-flyweight world title challenger Emma Dolan.

Tysie Gallagher: "I felt like my world was crushed." Tysie Gallagher hasn’t had much luck of late. Fights have been incredibly hard to come by for the British and Commonwealth super-bantamweight champion. Gallagher is talented; in truth, she is world-class. There lies the problem.
