There are going to be some terrible horror stories coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic when itâs over.
Especially for Black people in America who have already lost over a million small businesses and 70,000 lives! A disproportionately high number of over 500,000 lives have been lost in this country, including over 30,000 lives lost here in California alone!
How is it that the so-called dark, backward, âthird worldâ continent of Africa has lost only 25,000 lives?! How is it that the whole continent of Africa has lost fewer lives than the âprogressiveâ state of California?!
Harry Mullan on Billy Aird, and his Las Vegas diaries
Harry Mullan, widely regarded as the greatest of all Boxing News editors, would have been 75 on April 22. To celebrate his memory, his substantial writing talent, and his unique appreciation of life, the sport and its fighters, we’re delighted to bring you two previously unpublished excerpts from a book he started working on in the 1980s but never completed
IF Billy Aird had been able to inflict on his fellow heavyweights even half the damage he did to the English language, Britain’s long wait for a world champion would have ended years ago.
Andrew Maynard was a baby when it came to boxing experience but he won gold at the 1988 Olympics nonetheless. Today, in conversation with Thomas Gerbasi, he explains why he regrets having Sugar Ray Leonard as his mentor during an eventful but difficult professional career
MINUTES before the biggest fight of his young life, 24-year-old Andrew Maynard warmed up in Jamsil Students’ Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea and waited for his name to be called to fight the Soviet Union’s Nurmagomed Shanavazov in the light-heavyweight division’s gold medal bout of the 1988 Olympics.
As the time slowly ticked by, the Maryland native wondered what was going on in the ring as his Olympic roommate, Roy Jones Jnr, faced South Korea’s Park Si-hun in the light middleweight gold medal bout. There was no television monitor in the locker room, only the sounds from outside the door.

MIAMI On a day where the middleweight champion defended his title and a former 154-pound titleholder began a comeback, the most-watched boxing event on Saturday was headlined by a YouTube star and a retired UFC fighter. Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren wasn’t for everybody, but the circus proved a lot more popular than the real thing.
Be embarrassed, boxing. You did this. Demetrius Andrade could have defended his 160-pound title against Jermall Charlo, a mouthwatering matchup that would have drawn a huge audience in primetime. Instead, Andrade, boxing’s most avoided fighter, defended his belt against Welshman Liam Williams in an afternoon show made to capitalize on a potential viewing audience in Wales.
