Brooklyn's Richardson Hitchins pulls zero punches on the 140-lb landscape. He says Subriel Matías and Gary Antoine Russell are “high-risk, low-reward,” while Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez are the star-making fights he wants now. He calls out Lamont Roach to come up to 140, explains the IBF 10-lb rehydration rule from a fighter's POV, breaks down Tank vs Shakur, and talks leaving Floyd Mayweather for Eddie Hearn/Matchroom & Keith Connolly—then backing up the talk with the Cambosos domination. We also hit: Haney vs Brian Norman, Rolly–Ryan power reality, Canelo vs Crawford (and why fans want Benavídez), AB vs a YouTuber, and what really counts as a legacy fight. Drop your 140 rankings in the comments: Who should Hitchins fight next—Haney, Teo, Matías, Gary Antoine, or Roach? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode, we talk about Gabriela Fundora getting a stoppage of Alexas Kubicki. Fundora, the undisputed women's flyweight champ, is now riding a three-fight knockout streak. After Saturday, it is clear that she is not an undercard fighter.Oscar Collazo, the unified 105lbs champion, stopped Jayson Vayson in a strange stoppage. First off, Collazo looked limited at points in the fight, and Vayson's corner stopped the bout in the seventh, with the fight seemingly being competitive. We will also briefly touch on Ruslan Abdullaev, Gael Cabrera, Grant Flores, and Joel Iriarte, who stood out on the undercard. Salita Promotions had a solid card on Friday with Brandon Moore showing good composure to outbox DeAndre Savage. This is Moore's third undefeated fighter he has beaten in a row. Are we sleeping on Moore's potential? The best fight of the week saw Olivia Curry and Kaye Scott fight to a majority draw, meaning the unified vacant titles on the line will remain vacant. If you haven't watched this, please do so. OTX Boxing held a card featuring Breyon Gorham in the main event. WBC women's featherweight champ Tiara Brown defended her title, but a mild shocker, Wesley Ferrer, upset Giovanni Marquez in Marquez's hometown of Houston. This week, ProBox TV returns with light heavyweight contender Najee Lopez taking on Kalvin Henderson, and junior middleweight Emiliano Moreno taking on Raul Garcia. Other notables to watch for on this card are Emilio Garcia, Kevin Anton, and Anthony Cuba vs Jorge de Jesus. On DAZN, IBF women's 105lbs champ Sol Cudos will head to Canada to face recent Most Valuable Promotions' signee, Kim Clavel. Women's middleweight Tamm Thibeault is the co-feature.

Andy Scott, Barry Jones and Matt Macklin remember British boxing icon and former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton, after his tragic death at the age of 46. They look back at some of the biggest nights of Hatton's career, including his IBF light welterwight world title win over Kostya Tszyu and when 'The Hitman', alongside his army of loyal fans, took over Las Vegas for his WBC welterweight clash with Floyd Mayweather.If you are affected by this story, please visit - https://www.sky.com/viewersupport
In this episode, we recap an amazing fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. We get both of the guys takes as well as thoughts on Lester Martinez, Christian Mbilli, and Brandon Adams-Serhii Bohachuk. Also, what to make of Callum Walsh, who defeated Fernando Vargas Jr, and what did Dakota think of the overall television product?Also, Naoya Inoue defeats Murodjon Akhmadaliev. The bout streamed on Facebook, which I am not mad at because that means it was free. Inoue continues to impress.This is followed by a general recap of all things boxing this week. Lewis Crocker fights like Adonis Stevenson to win a split decision over Paddy Donovan. Caoimhin Agyarko won a narrow split decision over Ishmael Davis on that card. On Thursday, WBO flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga stopped Juan Carlos Camacho. Also, Jalil Hackett was a stand-out, getting a stoppage, while up-and-comer Justin Viloria had a hard night, and Jamar Talley is still an interesting prospect. On Wednesday, we had a card which had the fewest fan favor. Mikie Tallon stood-out when he dropped Christian Robles twice en route to a decision victory. Bek Nurmaganbet stopped Steven Stumper in three rounds, Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac was lucky to get a draw with Skylar Lacy as well. This week, on Thursday, former titleholder Liam Paro returns to Australia. He is in an IBF welterweight eliminator against David Papot. He would be the mandatory for Lewis Crocker. Salita Promotions returns on DAZN with a good card at the top as, Brandon Moore faces DeAndre Savage in a 10-round heavyweight main event, and Olivia Curry vs. Kaye Scott fight for a vacant women's middleweight title. Middleweight Da'velle Smith will also be featured on this card. On Saturday, Golden Boy Promotions returns with a doubleheader. Unified 105lbs champion Oscar Collazo will face Jayson Vayson, and Gabriela Fundora will put her undisputed flyweight champion titles on the line against late-sub Alexas Kubicki. Also featured are junior welterweight Ruslan Abdullaev, welterweight Joel Iriarte, and junior middleweight Grant Flores. On DAZN, OTX Boxing returns with junior welterweight Breyon Gorham as the feature bout, and WBC women's featherweight champ Tiara Brown making her first title defense.

pWotD Episode 3057: Ricky Hatton Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,114,830 views on Sunday, 14 September 2025 our article of the day is Ricky Hatton.Richard John Hatton (6 October 1978 – 14 September 2025), also known by nicknames such as the Hitman and the People's Champion, was a British professional boxer who competed between 1997 and 2012, and later worked as a boxing promoter and trainer. During his boxing career he held multiple world championships in the light-welterweight division, and one at welterweight. In 2005 he was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine, the Boxing Writers Association of America, and ESPN.In 2000 Hatton won the British light-welterweight title, followed by the World Boxing Union (WBU) title the following year; he made a record fifteen successful defences of the latter from 2001 to 2004. He reached the pinnacle of his career in 2005 by defeating Kostya Tszyu for the International Boxing Federation (IBF), Ring and lineal titles. This was followed up later that year with a victory over Carlos Maussa to claim the World Boxing Association (WBA) title (Super version), thereby becoming a unified light-welterweight world champion.Making his welterweight debut in 2006, Hatton won a tough fight against WBA champion Luis Collazo to win a world title in his second weight class. A return to light-welterweight in 2007 saw him win the vacant IBF title for a second time, as well as the International Boxing Organization (IBO) title. In the same year, Hatton had his career first defeat against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an attempt to win the World Boxing Council (WBC), Ring and lineal welterweight titles. This defeat took a severe toll on Hatton's wellbeing, as did a second defeat in 2009 when he lost his IBO, Ring and lineal light-welterweight titles to Manny Pacquiao.After Hatton's career was put on a long hiatus, rumours of a comeback continued to circulate in the media over the next several years. In 2011, Hatton announced his retirement from the sport, but in 2012, more than three years after his last fight, he confirmed his comeback. A loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko in his first match back prompted Hatton to immediately announce his final retirement. He remained retired for 13 years before announcing a comeback in July 2025.Hatton has been lauded as one of the most beloved and popular British boxers of all time, with a raucous fan base that travelled in their tens of thousands across the Atlantic to support him. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2024.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:33 UTC on Monday, 15 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ricky Hatton on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Raveena.
Well now, who saw that coming? Lewis Crocker beat Paddy Donovan for the second time in 2025 to claim the IBF world welterweight title in Belfast on Saturday night. The first fight in March came his way after The Real Deal was disqualified. The Croc – who was written off by everyone coming into the rematch – scored two knockdowns this time around at Windsor Park, yet there were still howls of controversy when his name was read out as the winner by split decision at the end of their 20th round together in six months. The Rocky Road headed for Belfast for the Irish boxing night of the year, with Kevin Byrne joined by fellow fight writers David Mohan, Joe O'Neill, Gavan Casey and Peter Carroll to digest it all. What's next for Crocker? What's next for Donovan? And why does everyone keep mentioning Conor Benn? It's all here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the week!The biggest fight week of the year (probably). Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford face off on Saturday, live on Netflix. Crawford will look to become a three-division undisputed champion, while Canelo looks to further his legendary run. Dakota and the Big Dog talk about all the facts you should know about this fight. The undercard will feature Callum Walsh vs Fernando Vargas Jr, Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martinez. Prelims that you should be aware of are Serhii Bohachuk-Brandon Adams II, Steven Nelson-Raiko Santana, and Jermaine Franklin-Ivan Dychko. Also, we talk about Wednesday's fight card filled with talent I am not very familiar with. Match-ups that stand out to me are: flyweight Mikie Tallon versus Christian Robles, Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac vs. Skylar Lacy, and super middleweight Bek Nurmaganbet vs. Steven Stumper. Stumper dropped Najee Lopez in a developmental fight. On Thursday, WBO flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga faces Juan Carlos Camacho in the main event. Justin Viloria, Jalil Hackett, and Jamar Talley are notables on this card. Then at the end, we talk about the result of the week, which includes: Osleys Iglesias stopping Vladimir Shishkin to become the IBF interim super middleweight titleholder. Dakota rants about how available the fight was. Eduardo Nunez defeats Christopher "Pitufo" Diaz in a fringe fight-of-the-year bout. We reflect on this. Pat McCormack won an unexciting bout, Troy Williamson upset Mark Dickinson after Dickinson missed weight by a lot, and Sandy Ryan returned to the win column. Also, Oscar Valdez won a hard-fought decision over Richard Medina.0:00 Canelo-Crawford12:50 Callum Walsh-Fernando Vargas Jr17:30 Lester Martinez-Christian Mbilli24:00 Brandon Adams-Serhii Bohachuk II27:00 Ivan Dychko vs. Jermaine Franklin30:30 Wednesday and Thursday fight cards 32:30 Paddy Donovan-Lewis Crocker II36:00 Pat McCormack38:00 Sandy Ryan42:57 ProBox TV53:00 Osleys Iglesias-Vladimir Shishkin57:05 Eduardo Nunez-Christopher Diaz

a card was announced for the week of Canelo-Crawford headlined by Anthony Olascuaga vs. Juan Carlos Camacho, it will also feature Justin Viloria, Jalil Hackett, and Jamar Talley. Then, we move to this week and the fight of the week happens on Thursday. Osleys Iglesias will face Vladimir Shishkin; what is at stake is a chance to fight the IBF super middleweight titleholder. A belt currently held by Canelo Alvarez, who faces Terence Crawford the following week. Also on the card, lightweight Dzmitry Asanau, junior welterweight Jhon Orobio, super middleweight Moreno Fendero, and Canadian Olympian Wyatt Sanford.Olympian Michael Conlan returns on Friday...any thoughts on his comeback?ProBox TV has a card on Friday featuring a solid main event with "Short Dog" Jordan White facing tough veteran Rene Tellez Giron. Can White go to the next level? The card is filled with 50-50 fights and developmental fights. Of the 50-50 fights to watch, Sulaiman Segawa vs. Bryan Acosta stands out. Segawa beat Ruben Villa and nearly beat Bruce Carrington. Acosta just had a close fight with Ramon Cardenas before he got the Naoya Inoue fight. Jonhatan Cardoso, a Brazilian fighter featured on many ProBox TV cards, will face Luis Torres Valenzuela, who just stopped an aging Nicholas Walters. The bout will see two solid punchers facing each other with hopes of becoming ranked higher in the division. Another sneaky great fight is, Elijah Flores, a junior middleweight who has sparred Manny Pacquiao, facing Hayward's Damoni Cato-Cain, who has been in camp with Terence Crawford. In terms of the developmental fights, Travon Marshall, Deric Davis, Jordan Roach and Benjamin Johnson are stellar up-and-comers featured on this card. Saturday on DAZN in the U.K., Olympian Pat McCormack faces veteran Miguel Parra, who had a tough fight with Shakhram Giyasov at the Santa Monica Pier. Notables on this card are the return of Sandy Ryan, and Cameron VuongThat evening on DAZN, Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez will look to make the first defense of his IBF junior lightweight title against Christopher "Pitufo" Diaz. Nunez won the vacant title earlier this year in a very fun fight. It is strange that Nunez is not getting more publicity. Also, in Mexico, Oscar Valdez will return to the ring for the first time in 2025 against Richard Medina, a former Raymond Ford opponent. I am not sure if we can watch it, but it is good to have him back.

Wednesday October 8th is the date, tickets have, in less than 2-weeks, nearly 50% sold out so if you'd like to come, all the info is here.Mark's excited about his cousin Steve having another win over the weekend, it's great to him doing so well, and Nick points out that Steve Allen has now joined an elite group of Aussies on the Champions Tour and explains why. Mark tells his favourite Peter Thomson story, it's a ripper.Obviously Justin Rose had a great win at the weekend, and in the end deserved it. However, Tommy Fleetwood is the subject of our chat. Nick says it was touch to watch, and Nick and Mark discuss the mental challenges he is facing. Mark explains how caddies play an important role to calm their players and focus them. Both the boys rave about J.J.Spaun's swing, and about the putting in the tournament from a number of players.Nick has an idea for the Tour Championship, he isn't a fan of the playoff system currently, and explains to Mark his idea. We discuss Rickie Fowler and sponsor invites. Mark tells the dodgy story of Carlos Franco and his 'charity'.The Ryder Cup. The Europeans are looking good, Nick and Mark discuss the big call facing Keegan Bradley.Nicks Top 5 today is his most famous caddies in the world, given on Monday we chat with Steve Williams - where does Steve rank?Lots of feedback - IBF, the ball rollback, the international feed, Tiger in Australia, and more. Nick takes us around the world with the PING Global results, and Marks masterclass today is bombing a big drive but ensuring it doesn't go left (as a righty). ** apologies for the masterclass audio, Mark is trialling a new mic, and the settings need a slight tweak **We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

On September 25th 2025 Saul Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2) and Terence Crawford (41-0) meet with the WBC, IBF and WBO Super Middleweight titles on the line. Spencer Fearon -aka Master Knowledge - is a former fighter and works as a boxing trainer, manager and pundit. Spencer gives his thoughts on the fight and why Crawford is an all-time great.
Fun pod today. Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen kick it off by discussing our reworked set - still at Titleist and FootJoy HQ but in a different space.....a change is as good as a holiday. Speaking of holidays, tickets are selling well for our Talk Birdie To Me Golf Day at Links Golf and Wellbeing on the Gold Coast on October 8th, after being on sale for about 5-days, nearly a third of the tickets are sold, so the day will sell out - we'd love to see you there, tickets available here.We discuss the domination of the Asia Pacific region in womens golf at the moment, with a new number one in the world in Jeeno Thitikul, and Nick and Mark discuss why they are dominating. Work ethic is a clear standout reason according to the boys. Nick suggests getting Jan Stephenson on the pod as a guest. Steph Kyriacou played well in tough conditions at the weekend, and one particular shot involving her was extraordinary, we discuss.And the retirement of a legend. Ian Baker-FInch, what a career, Nick and Mark love what he has done and how good he is. Although missing the discussion about IBF due to the international feed being delivered into Australia was very disappointing - Mark has had enough and says 'we are missing so much' by being given the international feed. Nick says Jim Nance is the best in the business, and he's one that he wants to hear, rather than the international feed team.In the chat about IBF we also find out that Mark is a tight-arse. And we discuss who might replace IBF, Frank Nobilo the consensus choice from Nick and Mark.Cam Young, a great win at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina, and a fantastic final round (after a tough first hole) to win his first ever PGA tournament. We discuss that final round. Nick is reminded of playing this tournament and described it as the greatest cut he ever made, and tells the story of why.Update on Royal Melbourne's preparation for the Australian Open. It's good news, and Mark is pleased to have heard it and to pass it on.Last week we had a voicemail from wolfpacker Tom in Arizona, and Mark decided to give Tom some homework - this is what the podcast has become, we're giving homework to wolfpackers, we really are quite disgraceful. Nonetheless, Tom delivers in spades with a ripping Top 5 desert courses in Arizona, with rationale for each. During the turn, Mark has been on google looking at Tom's number 1 course, and he decides that he needs to visit Arizona to play it. We'd like to be in the room when Mark asks his wife for permission to fly to Arizona to play a round of golf. Onto the Top 5, Mark lists the 5 things that The Australian Open needs to have implemented to make it as good as it can be, and as good as it used to be.Breaking news - next week we'll have a bonus pod chatting to Steve Williams, former caddy of Tiger, about his new book - and he will personally sign a copy to one wolfpacker. How do you win? Well we want your questions to ask Steve, what would you like us to ask on your behalf? We'll choose three and put all three to Steve, and Nick will vote on the best question to win the signed book. Let us know on socials, or message us through the Talk Birdie website here. Our bonus pod with Steve will be later next week.Nick runs through the PING globals from the weekend, and we have plenty of feedback to run through. Amongst other things we talk ball fitting, equipment evolution, blades vs hollow clubs, and a couple of suggestions for other players who didn't live up to their potential.And a reminder that later this week we'll do our review pod on Happy Gilmore 2!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.
