It’s time to give heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder the fight he wants.
Wilder didn’t need to defend his title against Luis Ortiz this past Saturday in Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In fact, he nearly payed for the decision in a one-sided seventh round, as Ortiz landed combination after combination and had the champion out on his feet. But Wilder proved what a true champion he is, as he somehow weathered the storm and made it out of the round.
The champion then came roaring back en route to a vicious 10th round knockout of Ortiz, silencing all of his critics and pushing his record to 40-0 with 39 KO’s.
Wilder has been vocal that he only wants to fight the best in boxing’s heavyweight division. Nevertheless, many have called his resume “weak.” Well, after Saturday’s performance, no one can question

Wilder could have used that crutch and waited for the next fight, which most likely assume would be a unification bout against the winner of the Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker fight that will take place later this month. Instead, Wilder wanted to prove how game he is and fight a boxer no one else seems to want to fight. With the victory over Ortiz, Wilder retained his title for the seventh time.
Regardless of the winner between Joshua and Parker, there are no excuses for Wilder to not face the victor. The dream matchup would be Wilder against Joshua, because they both have large statures and hit like a truck. However, a unification bout hasn’t meant this much to boxing’s heavyweight division in some time, so either fighter against Wilder would be a great matchup.
After his comeback for the ages against Ortiz, the 32-year-old Wilder deserves his chance at the glory of unifying the division. He has called out Joshua for more than a year and if Joshua defeats Parker, there’s no logical reason to avoid Wilder vs. Joshua any

Johnson was rapidly growing in both fame and success within the boxing industry and taking over something that Jim Jeffries had secured in almost all areas in the years prior. As a great majority of the white population was growing agitated at Johnson’s success, it became clear that they wanted to have some sort of match or occurrence that could once again put them on top in the world of boxing and sports entirely. Jim Jeffries was already retired from the sport but that certainly did not stop the white population from pressing just one more matchup to try and regain what they had once held to be so important to their race and superiority complex in sports on a regular basis. With this being said, it was also equally as likely that many within the black population wanted this match to occur just as badly as the whites when it came down to it because if anyone was going to put them on top it was sure to be that of Jack Johnson (A Question of Racial Supremacy,

Never mind the weight class. When it came to boxing, Robinson was as good as it got.
Remnick does not shy away from discussing the shadowy history of the boxing world (no pun intended). It's well known boxing has been affiliated with the 'mob,' but perhaps what is lesser known is Clay's absolute refusal to be in any way associated with the Mafia.
He has a strong will and as this is tested time and time again it just makes him a more patient and together person. The first time this is tested is when in Baberton Peekay is told he is not allowed to box or to actually fight for two years and he must only train if he wants to be on the team. Now this had to be almost impossible for someone who wanted to box more than anything but he took his time and mastered his technique and stamina and was patient instead of just quitting took his time and built himself as boxer. Being forced to take that time and just wait and train and wait caused Peekay to learn what being patient could do for him because by the time he actually stepped into the ring he was able to win. This trait builds in Peekay through each and every match and through every confrontation of a challenge in his life but is very obvious in Peekay 's fight against Gideon Mandoma. When these two boys fight they continue going and going but instead of being an overly aggressive fighter like his opponent Peekay wait and waits and eventually it pays off because he was able to find the each right time to act and this allowed him to win the fight. Peekay had to have the self control to wait and to hold on to his head and this fight helped him to know that more so than anything else in his life so far. He couldn’t just give up and he

Has anyone ever wondered why, what made the tough Joe Louis join the sport of boxing?
