Top Rank has inked 2020 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov (12-0, 12 KOs) to a multiyear promotional deal.

In a cost-cutting measure, ESPN has reportedly axed 20 on-air personalities, including Max Kellerman, the former boxing analyst who went on to become involved in all sports with the network.

Looks like hopes for a December bout between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk have collapsed. Fury’s camp has now teased a “game changer” for Fury’s next outing, which could be a boxing exhibition against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

  • Like all the other morons out there they will jump on the AI bandwagon and have virtual on air personalities. Everything in the world now is about cutting costs. For what reason? Greed. A small few want to control everything, but when no one can make a living who will afford to buy what they are selling. These companies are more and more run by bean counters. Good luck. US automakers took this approach and look at the status of those companies.

    • I really have liked this site for years. My only issue is why a sicko like you are able to have a post as hate filled as this remain. You are a very small person who is at the least delusional and at worst are dangerous. This is a great site and doesn’t need your garbage. Speaking of boxing, Jewish people and this beloved sport have a interesting and vibrant history.

    • No it’s because they’re Woke and push gay tranny liberal garbage. Max Kellerman is a good example. Instead of keeping it about boxing he spewed all kinds of anti-Trump nonsense and now he’s back to flipping burgers where he belongs lol..

  • Kellerman can’t catch a break. First, HBO let’s him go when they did away with boxing. Now, ESPN is trimming the fat to save money. What will he do next?

      • Wrong. He’s a leftist woke moron with huge case of Trump derangement syndrome. Good riddance

      • Max Kellerman is a bad analyst always have been and extremely irritating at times. He’s a Left Winger and have been extremely obvious about his biased opinions and politics and hate on some athletes.

  • Was wondering what would happen to Jalolov after Probellum shutdown. I wonder if they also have any interest in Dychko. He could also use a push and he and Mahkmudov are all in pretty similar situations imo.

    • Jalolov will be a world champion Lucie, he has an awesome power and beautiful skills. Maybe is a bold statement, but IMO he is the best heavyweight in the world

      • You’re already convinced, Burucho?? I’m not sure yet. Hopefully Top Rank puts him in tough relatively early and we get to see what he has. Carlos Takam gave Makhmudov his best fight so far and he just beat another olympic gold medalist, maybe Jalolov – Takam to start??

  • Max is a class act and I’m 100% positive he will land on his feet somewhere. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great screen presence.

    • Wrong. He’s a leftist woke moron that ruined himself by talking about Politics and Trump instead of Boxing

  • Hate to see Max get axed. Hopefully, he lands a new gig soon. Also, why is Tyson trying to ruin his career with this nonsense? I want to like him but he’s sure making it more and more difficult.

    • Note his breakdown after the Klitchko win. He is not a mentally healthy man. His wife is a saint

  • Jared Anderson is being groomed to get his ass beat by Bakhodir Jalolov.

  • Does anyone remember when Kellerman asked the Japanese interpreter to ask the Japanese fighter if he thought he was supposed to be cannon fodder? Lol what an idiot. Sean O’Grady should make a comeback. He was a real fighter and a great announcer.

  • Can Suliman quit being a BEOTCHI and strip this clown already. Defend the belt already!!!

  • I wonder why Fury doesn’t buy a circus to stage his own shows along with Floyd

  • And Andre Ward is out as well…but Mark Kriegel, who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow about the sport of boxing gets to stay….? Nails on a chalkboard, that one.

  • Andre Ward was let go too. Shame he was one of the few I liked. Now we will get more inane Tim Bradley ramblings and sound effects. Ummmmmm. Ohhhhhhhhh. Hell would be Tim Bradley and Sergio Mora doing commentary on Rigondeaux and Rances Barthelemy fights

  • What’s up with TR HW from Philly, Sonny Conto? He isn’t mentioned along with the other TR guys now, thought he had more potential than robotic Guido Vianello who they still pushing.

  • I love Fury and I always will because he’s the man that ended the most boring title reign in history when he outpointed Wladimir Klitschko, but honestly it’s time to sh*t or get off the pot and make the fight with Usyk. Either retire for good or fight the guy. We deserve a clear, undisputed AND linear champion in the Heavyweight division. The Klitschko’s kept that from happening for over a decade by turning boxing into a tag team sport, then Fury didn’t help matters by splitting up three of the four belts and going on a coke bender. Then Wilder and Joshua could never come to terms and they both blew it. What could have been an undisputed title fight between two undefeated guys with a combined record of 62-0 (60 KO’s) in late 2018/mid 2019 got flushed down the toilet thanks to fat man Fury and Fat boy Ruiz. Now they’re both damaged goods.
    Enough. Make the fight. Unify the belts. Don’t care if either man wins and then immediately retires. Just give us an undefeated, undisputed, linear, 4 belt World Heavyweight Champion for a night.

  • I screwed up and posted this on the wrong thread. Read or ignore. My apologies.
