There was massive fight action on Saturday night, as Canelo Alvarez set up a massive unification fight for later in the year against Billy Joe Saunders. In truth, it looks incredibly unlikely that Canelo was ever going to be really tested in the contest on Saturday, and that proved to be the case. The Mexican pound-for-pound great didn’t need to get out of second gear to beat his Turkish opponent, as he finished Avni Yildirim in the third round of their contest at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. However, bigger things are certainly set for the Mexican for later…

To say that the heavyweight division is stacked at the minute would be a massive understatement, as there has never been quite the battling for title positions as there has been in the past couple of years. With every passing month there seems to be a new name that emerges on the scene, and claim that they should be next in line for an opportunity. Last weekend it was the turn of Otto Wallin, who produced an excellent performance to overcome Dominic Breazeale. The Swedish fighter has only lost once during his career, with that defeat coming against Tyson Fury.…
The WWE schedule is relentless at the minute, and all the plans will swiftly change for the upcoming Fastlane PPV, which takes place less than a month after the recent Elimination Chamber event.

It hasn’t been the best 12 months or so for Braun Strowman, but his quick loss against Bobby Lashley on Raw this past week was certainly a low point in his year. The Monster Among Men was expected to be one of the main stars in 2020 after winning his first world title by beating Goldberg at WrestleMania, but his reign was ultimately disappointing, and he later dropped the title to The Fiend. There hasn’t been anything substantial for Strowman to enjoy over recent months, and a title opportunity at Mania this year now looks out of the question. But,…
One of the biggest announced heavyweight clashes of the year was set to take place at the beginning of March. However, the Wembley date that was previously agreed by the two fighters has now been altered, and it was announced over the weekend that Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin will now face off on the 27th March in Gibraltar. Eddie Hearn announced the change, and revealed that the reason behind the move was due to travel restrictions that have been imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There promises to be an action-packed couple of weeks of Raw before the Fastlane PPV on the 10th March. Before we get to that night, the WWE Championship will be on the line next Monday night, as Bobby Lashley will be looking to win his first ever WWE Championship when he takes on The Miz.

But, could it lead to a first world title reign? And…
Many boxing fans thought that it was only a matter of time before Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s showdown was made official with a venue and date. However, there could still be one final roadblock in the way of any potential fight between the two Brits, as reports have indicated that an agreement is still yet to be reached between Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk. The agreement for the two fights to come to blows is believed to be the one thing stalling an official announcement regarding the unification bout.
