World welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr is in intensive care after crashing his Ferrari.

Wow if he's survived this - he's a very lucky guy -



That's one hell of a write off, somebody up there was looking out for him.

Katie Taylor has become a two-weight champion

£9.95 on Sky Sports to watch 2 YouTubers pretend to be boxers. KSI v Logan Paul II.

Is it even worth the money? I would say for those two guys to turn pro & "DO IT PROPERLY" as Eddie Hearn put it i would say I admire for them doing it, but when you get one of them on twitter saying they can knock out a pro boxer that is an insult to pro boxing because these two guys have not had the sort of career a pro boxer has over many years.

Just goes to show that Sky will go to any and every length to extract more and more (for less and less)!! That includes proper boxing events also, where they are now placing relatively 'run of the mill' bouts on PPV, instead of exclusively 'blockbusters'! On a separate note, BT Sport seems to have fallen of a cliff in terms of its boxing coverage!! Shame F Warren couldn't keep hold of the boxing output he initially brought to the channel. I guess it is down to who now promotes who, as to which platform secures the fights! Not even Fury/Wilder II is BT confirmed as far as I know?? Warrens tie up with B Arum and Top Rank has yet to fire! Still a lot of Top Rank promotions on Sky with the E Hearn and Matchroom. I personally miss 'Boxing Matters' which was a great magazine programme addition to the output!

I didn't do a poll for the Logan V KSI fight as I felt it didn't warrant enough interest but I think my next one will be for Ruiz V Joshua rematch. I do question Saudi Arabia being the host for this but I do hope now Joshua has something worked out to beat Ruiz who I think produced the sporting upset of the year when he won in June in New York. I personally feel that Joshua will be at the crossroads of his career if he doesn't best Ruiz this time.

Billy Joe Saunders retained his WBO super middle weight title with an 11th rd TKO over Marcelo Esteban Coceres of Mexco and is now hoping for a shot at Canelo Alvarez.

upcoming fights :-

16 Nov: Emirates Arena, Glasgow - Lee McGregor v Kash Farooq (British & Commonwealth bantamweight titles)
23 Nov: MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Deontay Wilder v Luis Ortiz (WBC world heavyweight title); Leo Santa Cruz v Miguel Flores (WBA regular super-featherweight title)
Echo Arena, Liverpool - Callum Smith v John Ryder (WBA Super world super-middleweight title).

30 Nov: Carl Frampton v Tyler McCreary (super-featherweight); Oscar Valdez v Andres Gutierrez (super-featherweight)

This is awesome didn't even know they had dwarf boxing.
