Harry Kettle - May 7, 2021

Michael Bisping has taken a shot at several current and former fighters for turning combat sports into what he calls a “circus act”. Many MMA and boxing fans have been split on whether or not they actually like the direction of travel with respect to the “celebrity boxing” that we’ve seen in the last few years.

Dillon Danis and BJ Penn among fighters interested in boxing Jake Paul next

Adam D Martin - April 18, 2021

Bellator fighter Dillon Danis and UFC Hall of Famer BJ Penn are among the fighters who are interested in boxing Jake Paul next. Paul knocked out Ben Askren in devastating fashion on Saturday night during a highly-anticipated boxing event promoted by the Triller app. Paul landed a monster right hand just a minute into the fight and the referee waved off the fight after Askren’s legs went wobbly. It was a solid performance by Paul, to be sure, and it’s the kind of big-name win that should set him up with another big name in his next outing. Whenever Paul is ready to step back into the boxing ring, then he’ll have a number of fighters waiting for him in it.
