Hollywood’s Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg have paired to make the latest “40 Days� documentary series for DAZN, a three-episode project that begins Tuesday in advance of Gennady Golovkin’s middleweight title fight against Steve Rolls at Madison Square Garden.

Hi, my name is Lance Pugmire, and welcome to our weekly boxing/MMA newsletter.

From the second he sent an Instagram message to Anthony Joshua’s promoter pushing to be the replacement opponent, Andy Ruiz Jr. has been making this up as he goes.

Andy Ruiz Jr.’s historic triumph over Anthony Joshua seemed like a dream to Ruiz’s trainer, Manny Robles, until he was asked to reflect on how it happened.

Andy Ruiz Jr., a replacement opponent from the gritty border farming town of Imperial, Calif., pulled off the biggest heavyweight upset of his generation Saturday night, ruining the U.S. debut of England’s three-belt heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua by seventh-round technical knockout.

Unbeaten heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and former champion Tyson Fury agreed to a rematch in 2020, Wilder and an industry official announced Friday.

By itself, Anthony Joshua’s U.S. debut heightens the revival of boxing’s heavyweight division.

Anthony Joshua has walked under skyscrapers, mingled with the masses and absorbed many of the sounds, flavors and action of Manhattan this past week.

Deontay Wilder said he decided to turn his back on a possible one-on-one negotiation with Anthony Joshua for a heavyweight unification this year because he didn’t trust the bout would materialize.

On a week when a men’s heavyweight boxing champion took a step away from unifying all four belts, Belgium lightweight Delfine Persoon seeks that rare collection when she meets Ireland’s unbeaten Katie Taylor on Saturday night.
