Fight 14 Round 12 – Hall of Fame Week – And Boxing Didn’t Stop Alfonso & Rick
The biggest week in boxing delivered on every front — and we were there for part of it.

We get into the welterweight chaos — Tank Davis’s team calls Haney, Shakur scrambles to stay relevant, and nobody has signed anything. The most compelling division in boxing has the most paralyzed matchmaking infrastructure to go with it.
Plus Zayas vs. Boots Ennis fight week breakdown ahead of Saturday’s Barclays Center main event — the unified 154 lb title fight that actually defines the division in 2026.
And we close it out from Canastota, New York — Pacific Coast Boxing was on the ground at the International Boxing Hall of Fame induction weekend. The conversations, the access, and the moments you don’t get anywhere else.

The heavyweight division just got more interesting, Naoya Inoue is the undisputed No. 1 fighter on the planet, and two sanctioning bodies just formed the first defensive alliance in boxing […]
