Anthony Joshua defeated Alexander Povetkin. The next rival should be the winner of the semi-announced Deontay WIlder vs Tyson Fury fight, set for December.

Joshua mentioned he didn't have any mandatories to get out of the way now  

 

For boxing's sake I hope he's right, those mandatories are annoying when they delay the big fights forever and ever

Yesterday, Callum Smith defeated George Groves and claimed the WBA (Super) super-middleweight title.

Most bizarre story of the year.

Mario Melo, the former Argentine professional light heavyweight champion who once challenged for a world title, has died after collapsing at a croissant eating contest in Pinamar. Argentina.

It's possible he choked to death.
