  • Oleksandr Usyk Controversially Stops Rico Verhoeven To Retain

    Oleksandr Usyk Controversially Stops Rico Verhoeven To Retain

    Oleksandr Usyk retained his unified heavyweight championship, but it wasn’t without a tough fight from Rico Verhoeven and a controversial finish at the end of the 11th round.

    From the beginning of the fight, Verhoeven tried to push the pace, going toe-to-toe with Usyk and exchanging rounds throughout the bout. Usyk looked to use his jab and land from distance, while Verhoeven tried to get inside and land combinations.

    Usyk got Verhoeven in some trouble during the fourth round, crushing Verhoeven with a solid uppercut. Verhoeven, however, recovered and, after a quiet fifth round, came out firing again during round six.

    Verhoeven traded with Usyk throughout rounds seven through nine, with Verhoeven continuing to push the pace and try to trap Usyk in the corner.

    Oleksandr Usyk Stops Rico Verhoeven In 11 Rounds To Retain WBA and WBC Titles

    While the fight was a dead heat heading into the championship rounds, it was there that Usyk’s experience showed. Usyk took back control in a big way during round 10.

    Then, in round 11, Usyk knocked Verhoeven down with a big uppercut. Verhoeven recovered; however, Usyk wallopped him with a number of follow-up shots. The referee stepped in and, despite protests from the former GLORY Kickboxing champion, Usyk retained his WBA and WBC titles.

    This was Usyk’s first fight since becoming a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, reclaiming the IBF title at the time with a knockout of Daniel Dubois in July.

    This was Verhoeven’s first boxing match since knocking out Janos Finfera 12 years ago. This is also Verhoeven’s first loss in combat sports since losing to Andrey Gerasimchuk in kickboxing in 2015.

  • Pryce Taylor Scores Second-Round TKO Victory Over Calvin Barnett

    Pryce Taylor Scores Second-Round TKO Victory Over Calvin Barnett

    Pryce Taylor continued his development as one of boxing’s more intriguing heavyweight prospects on Saturday, stopping Calvin Barnett at 2:59 of the second round at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia, with a sustained body attack that his corner ultimately could not allow to continue.

    The 29-year-old from Brooklyn started the opening round brightly, landing a right hand that initially dazed Barnett before the 34-year-old from Port Orange, Florida, responded with a looping punch that leveled things out. The first round ended as a competitive, if rough, exchange between two fighters finding their footing.

    Taylor made a decisive tactical adjustment in the second, targeting Barnett’s midsection with a focus and consistency that changed the fight entirely. A visit to the canvas for Barnett during the round was ruled a slip, but the body shots continued landing with cumulative effect. When Taylor unleashed a finishing flurry to the body that put Barnett down at the round’s end, Barnett beat the count but his discomfort was unmistakable, and his corner intervened.

    Taylor improved to 12-0 with eight knockouts and is now on a two-fight knockout streak. Barnett fell to 7-5.

  • Supernova Genesis Results: Flor Vigna Wins, Alana Retires

    Supernova Genesis Results: Flor Vigna Wins, Alana Retires

    Supernova: Genesis 2026 took place Sunday night at Arena Ciudad de Mexico, streaming live on Netflix across more than 190 countries. The celebrity influencer boxing event delivered several memorable moments, headlined by a retirement announcement that overshadowed the main event result itself.

    Main Event: Flor Vigna Defeats Alana Flores by Unanimous Decision

    Argentine content creator Flor Vigna won the main event over Mexican streamer Alana Flores by unanimous decision after four rounds, improving her record to 3-0. Vigna controlled the bout from the outset, using a 12-centimeter height advantage throughout. Flores was more aggressive in the early rounds but lost momentum heading into the championship rounds.

    Immediately after the decision, Flores announced her retirement from boxing.

    “This has been my last fight,” she told the crowd. “I leave with a full heart because I managed to prove to myself that I am capable of never giving up. If you have a goal, never give up.” The farewell speech drew significant attention, with many observers noting it overshadowed Vigna’s victory in the moment.

    Co-Main: Aaron Mercury Knocks Out Mario Bautista in One Round

    TikTok personality Aaron Mercury stopped musician and content creator Mario Bautista in one minute and 22 seconds of the first round, delivering one of the fastest finishes of the night.

    Mercury entered the arena alongside musician Oliver Tree. Bautista had previously been involved in a notable fight on the prior Supernova card against Westcol, who retired injured from that bout.

    Full Results

    As noted, the main events saw:

    • Flor Vigna defeated Alana Flores by unanimous decision, then announced her retirement.
    • Aaron Mercury had a highlight-reel first round KO on Mario Bautista.

    Supernova Genesis also saw:

    • Willito defeated Lonche in the third bout of the evening, also winning a $400,000 side bet between the two fighters.
    • Abraham stopped Nando by technical knockout in the second round after the referee determined Nando was not responding.
    • Milica defeated Kim Shantal by decision in the opening bout.
    • Karely Ruiz defeated Kim Shantal in a separate contest.
    • Shantal took on two fights after Ari Geli withdrew from the card at the last minute, accepting the emergency booking.

    Production Notes

    The event marked Netflix’s first live broadcast in Latin America, available on all plans without additional cost. The show ran in two blocks, with the early portion free via social media and the main card exclusively on Netflix.

    Singer Carin Leon’s musical performance was briefly disrupted when the production played the wrong track, though Leon continued performing with live musicians and received a standing ovation from the crowd. Ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. was on hand for the event.

    The previous Supernova Strikers edition in August 2025 drew over 10 million viewers across digital platforms.

  • Jarrell Miller Outworks Lenier Pero, Calls Out Deontay Wilder

    Jarrell Miller Outworks Lenier Pero, Calls Out Deontay Wilder

    Jarrell Miller outworked previously unbeaten Lenier Pero over 12 rounds to win a unanimous decision Saturday night in a WBA heavyweight title eliminator at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, then immediately turned his attention to Deontay Wilder.

    Two judges scored the bout 117-111 for Miller, with the third turning in a 115-113 card. Miller improved to 28-1-2 with 22 knockouts. Pero fell to 13-1, suffering the first loss of his professional career.

    The win positions Miller as the WBA mandatory challenger, putting him in line for a shot at unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk or, depending on how the picture shakes out, Daniel Dubois.

    Volume Carries the Night

    Miller and Pero combined to throw 1,652 punches in what ESPN described as a toe-to-toe slugfest. Miller alone threw 1,003, landing 290, per CompuBox. Pero was the more accurate man at 39 percent to Miller’s 29 percent, but he could not match the Brooklyn fighter’s pressure or volume.

    Pero started fast, using his southpaw jab and clean counters to outbox Miller from range through the early rounds. Miller, who weighed 305 pounds to Pero’s 251, turned the fight into a phonebooth brawl from the third round on, walking the Cuban down to the ropes and trading on the inside.

    By the 11th round, an exhausted Pero was barely able to come out of his corner. He tried to rally midway through the 12th, but Miller closed the fight strong, trading power shots until the final bell. No knockdowns were scored.

    Miller Wants Wilder Next

    Miller wasted little time once he had the microphone, naming Tyson Fury, Wilder, and Pero’s brother Dainier Pero as targets. Wilder, who returned this month with a controversial split decision over Derek Chisora, drew the most pointed words.

    “Deontay, he said a long time ago that he doesn’t want to fight ‘Big Baby’ because I hurt his feelings,” Miller told DAZN. “If you don’t shut your pie a** up and come fight me, boy, we’re going to see.”

    Promoter Eddie Hearn quickly endorsed the matchup.

    “For me, when I look at the fights in the division, as a promoter, you want a fight with great build-up, you want a fight with jeopardy,” Hearn said. “The American fight is Deontay Wilder against Jarrell Miller. Run it in New York.”

    Miller, 37, has now strung together back-to-back wins for the first time since 2022, building on the form he showed in Saturday’s WBA eliminator main event. Asked about his trimmer appearance, he kept it light: “Every time I drop five pounds, I get to eat a cheesesteak.”

    His preferred next move, he said, is a slot on the Xander Zayas vs. Jaron Ennis card on June 27 in Brooklyn.

  • Wilder Edges Chisora by Split Decision in London Slugfest

    Wilder Edges Chisora by Split Decision in London Slugfest

    Deontay Wilder won a split decision over Derek Chisora on Saturday at The O2 Arena in London, taking their 12-round DAZN pay-per-view main event by scores of 115-111, 112-115, and 115-113.

    It was the 50th professional fight for both men, and the bout lived up to its billing as a power-punching heavyweight brawl. Chisora, who weighed in at 266.7 pounds on Friday, pressed the action throughout, working the body and throwing wide hooks. Wilder used his reach and jab to control distance but struggled to find clean shots early.

    Wilder scored knockdowns in the fourth and eighth rounds, both with his trademark right hand. The eighth-round sequence was the fight’s defining moment, as Wilder backed Chisora into a corner and unloaded. Chisora survived both times and continued fighting back. Wilder also had a point deducted during a chaotically officiated bout.

    The win was only the second decision victory of Wilder’s career, moving his record to 45-4-1 (43 KOs). Chisora drops to 36-14 (23 KOs).

    Wilder Calls for Compassion, Eyes Title Run

    Post-fight, Wilder said he pulled back in the later rounds after noticing swelling around Chisora’s temple. “Too many lives have been lost in this ring, nobody gives a damn about us,” Wilder told DAZN. “Us fighters have to look out for each other.”

    Wilder also said he is targeting another title run, calling the fight “magnificent” and inviting Chisora to go fishing in Alabama. With back-to-back wins now under his belt, a potential matchup with Anthony Joshua could be next on the radar.

    Chisora Teases Retirement, Leaves Door Open

    Chisora had said before the fight that this would be his final bout, but he declined to commit to retirement afterward. He thanked fans for supporting his career since he arrived in the UK at age 16 and started boxing, but stopped short of saying it was over for good.

  • Anthony Cacace Becomes Two-Time World Champion Over Dickens

    Anthony Cacace Becomes Two-Time World Champion Over Dickens

    Anthony Cacace became a two-time world champion Saturday night, outpointing Jazza Dickens by unanimous decision in Dublin to claim the WBA super featherweight title on St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

    Judges scored the competitive 12-round contest 116-112, 116-113, and 115-113 in Cacace’s favor. Dickens, the Liverpool southpaw, had periods of success and pressed the action throughout — but Cacace’s precision and output proved decisive on all three cards.

    Cacace “On Cloud Nine” After Second World Title

    Cacace described himself as “on cloud nine” following the victory, having now claimed world championships on two separate occasions. The result opens the door to several attractive matchups at 130 pounds, where the super featherweight division remains competitive across all four major sanctioning bodies.

    The Belfast boxer’s performance in Dublin — in front of a partisan crowd on one of the city’s biggest weekends — represents the peak of a career built on consistent progress and a willingness to take difficult fights.

  • Arnold Barboza Jr. Dominates Sims, Calls Out Garcia and Haney

    Arnold Barboza Jr. Dominates Sims, Calls Out Garcia and Haney

    Arnold Barboza Jr. (33-1, 11 KOs) delivered a commanding welterweight debut Saturday night in Anaheim, outboxing Kenneth Sims Jr. (22-4-1, 8 KOs) over 12 rounds by unanimous decision — with judges scoring it 120-108, 118-110, and 117-111 — while capturing the WBO Global welterweight belt in the process.

    Barboza controlled the fight throughout with a sharp jab, building visible damage on Sims and dictating the pace from open to close. An accidental head clash in round 11 opened a cut along Barboza’s hairline, but he closed the 12th confidently and left no doubt on the scorecards.

    Barboza Names Garcia, Haney, and Lopez as Targets

    Barboza made his ambitions immediately clear after the final bell. On a potential fight with Ryan Garcia, he said: “I think it’s the perfect fight for him. That fight was supposed to happen in February. We were negotiating that fight.” He also named Devin Haney as a target in the welterweight division.

    His most personal callout was reserved for Teofimo Lopez — the only blemish on Barboza’s record. “Of course I’d love to get my lick back. It’s my only loss,” he said. Barboza added that he would accept Alexis Rocha if a bigger fight doesn’t materialize, and addressed Keyshawn Davis directly, indicating he’d welcome the matchup if Davis moves to 147.

  • Riku Masuda Stops Nonito Donaire in 8th Round of WBA Eliminator

    Riku Masuda Stops Nonito Donaire in 8th Round of WBA Eliminator

    Riku Masuda (10-1, 9 KOs) stopped Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire in the eighth round Saturday, with Donaire’s corner throwing in the towel to hand Masuda a decisive victory in their WBA bantamweight eliminator and a clear path toward a mandatory world title shot.

    The fight turned in the fifth round when an accidental head clash opened a cut over Donaire’s right eye, allowing Masuda to intensify his pressure on the veteran. The younger fighter dominated from that point forward, landing sustained punishment that convinced Donaire’s corner to end the contest midway through the eighth.

    Masuda Positions Himself for World Title Shot

    The stoppage win positions Masuda as the WBA bantamweight mandatory challenger. At 10-1 with nine stoppages, he has now made a significant statement against one of the most decorated bantamweights in boxing history.

    For Donaire, a four-time world champion who has shown extraordinary longevity in the sport, the stoppage loss raises difficult questions about the future of his career. The 43-year-old now faces a harder road back to another title shot following Saturday’s result.
