16 AUG 2021 · Joe Calzaghe versus Mikkel Kessler was a super middleweight boxing contest between the number one and two super middleweights in the World. At the time both fighters were unbeaten. On the line was the WBO, WBC and WBA World belts as well as The Ring Magazine championship.

28 JUN 2021 · Panamanian Roberto Duran and Puerto Rican Esteban De Jesus found themselves embroiled in one of boxing’s great rivalries; over the course of five years these two proud Latino legends faced off on three occasions.

29 MAR 2021 · In the summer of 1981, only two boxers mattered in America: WBA welterweight champion Thomas Hearns, and WBC welterweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard. Since the previous fall, when both men won huge fights – Hearns knocking out the dangerous Pipino Cuevas; Leonard forcing the great Roberto Duran to quit — this was the biggest match boxing could offer, the contest the whole world wanted to see.
22 FEB 2021 · Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier, billed as the "Fight of the Century", was the boxing match between WBC/WBA heavyweight champion Joe Frazier (26–0, 23 KOs) and The Ring/lineal heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali (31–0, 25 KOs), held on Monday, March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The Fight is widely regarded as the biggest boxing match in history and arguably the most anticipated and hyped sporting event ever. It was the first time that two undefeated boxers fought each other for the heavyweight title.

The fight was expected to be a rousing and exciting one but few, if any, could have foreseen the intense action it would produce, or the lasting fame it would earn in boxing history due to its dramatic and controversial ending.
