Exactly two years have passed since the worlds of both boxing and mixed martial arts collided for an event that was unlike anything that we’ll ever see again in our lifetimes.  “That Mayweather/McGregor fight next Saturday, it’s an absolute disgrace, makes no sense. F**k the two of them they’re just conning us for the money.” “So you won’t watch it …

Floyd Mayweather has issued a lengthy response to Manny Pacquaio after the Filipino fighter accused him of using his name to stay relevant.  It’s a rivalry that was always destined to continue on well past the pair’s original meeting back in 2015 – a fight that saw Mayweather emerge as dominant as ever, winning the bout by unanimous decision. Following …

Two of the most dominant forces on last year’s Forbes Highest Paid Athletes list have dropped out of the running considerably in the newly-released 2019 edition – which takes the last calendar year from the date of publication into account. Last time around, the top spot was taken by boxer Floyd Mayweather, who managed to bring in a whopping $285 …

Tenshin Nasukawa continued to prove why he is one of the finest Japanese prospects in years, defeating Martin Blanco in violent fashion at RIZIN 16. Say what you want about his somewhat farcical showdown with Floyd Mayweather last December, Nasukawa remains an incredible talent – one who will likely achieve great things in both kickboxing and mixed martial arts. At …

Tenshin Nasukawa extended his unbeaten kickboxing record with a glorious third-round TKO of Fritz Aldin Biagtan at RIZIN 15. Those who only know of Tenshin because of his in some ways farcical New Year’s Eve showdown with Floyd Mayweather at RIZIN 13 will have no doubt gotten the wrong impression of this young man’s talents. At 20-years-old, the tougher challenges …

Tenshin Nasukawa is well and truly putting memories of his first-round TKO loss to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather behind, scoring another massive KO win. Say what you want about that somewhat farcical contest, Tenshin remains one of the most promising young talents in the game – something he proved once again with a highlight-reel finish in his RISE World Series …

The famed UFC commentator and podcast host has given his take on exactly how lucrative a showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov would be. Joe Rogan addressed the frankly ridiculous notion that Mayweather would once again leave his state of semi-retirement to face the UFC lightweight champ – predicting that if it were hastily set up for a date …

Khabib Nurmagomedov has laid out his ideal plan for the coming years before eventually hanging up his gloves and retiring from mixed martial arts. For years, Khabib was seen by many as the uncrowned champion of the lightweight division, a looming shadow within the top-10 whose destructive rise into the rankings had only been hindered by a string of injuries …

Floyd Mayweather made it look easy in today’s RIZIN 14 headliner against Tenshin Nasukawa, getting his man out of there in the first-round. In a lot of ways, this fight went exactly as we should have expected. The far more experienced, bigger, and technical fighter that is the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather made easy work of his 20-year-old opponent Tenshin Nasukawa …

Japanese kickboxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa has admitted that he wouldn’t mind kicking Floyd Mayweather after what he described as ‘provocative’ comments made by the boxer. It’s the fight that nobody saw coming, the fight that nobody asked for and after a rather hilarious public fallout that saw it briefly shelved, the fight that – like it or not – will …

It’s easy to slip into the opinion that Tyson Fury lost out after this month’s heavyweight classic but when you actually think about, things couldn’t have gone any better. Ok sure, had he knocked out Deontay in the first-round and escaped the ring without feeling The Bronze Bomber’s infamous power it would have been good for the ol’ noggin, but …
