    Ryan Garcia, among others, is heading into the most lucrative period of his career following a failed test. What a message that projects…


    Naoya Inoue is back but what price the upset in Japan? Diego Pacheco heads into what might be the hardest fight of his career and there might be a hidden gem on the Dalton Smith bill.

  • FURY RETIRES, EUBANK-BENN ON
    Jan 15 2025

    Two days after Anthony Joshua declared that Tyson Fury was his priority for 2025, Fury announced his retirement. This is nothing new for the ‘Gypsy King’ - so are we to take him seriously this time?


    As we come to terms with the possibility of one British blockbuster not occurring, another - Chris Eubank Jr versus Conor Benn - is all but confirmed.

    In This Week, we strap in and head back to 1985, when Colin Jones was forced to endure what a peak Donald Curry felt like.

  • HOPES AND DREAMS
    Jan 9 2025

    The Opening Bell kicks off its 2025 campaign with a look ahead to what we can expect in the boxing world over the coming months.


    The bill in Sheffield, featuring Callum Simpson and Caroline Dubois, is previewed, we reflect on the heavyweight movers and shakers, ponder what might be next for Conor Benn and name our one wish for the boxing year ahead.


    In This Week, we venture back to 2006 and a cruiserweight rip-roarer between O’Neill Bell and Jean Marc Mormeck.
