No longer could Johnson’s talent be ignored, he was in line to fight Jim Jefferies.

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather next bout is set just four months after his victory against Manny Pacquiao. The boxer an kicked he will fight against Andre Berto on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (NV). This will mark Mayweather's final fight, closing his iconic career without a blemish on his 48-0, 26 KOs record. The event will be broadcast on Showtime Pay-Per-View at 8pm (Eastern standard time). Mayweather understands the magnitude of the last fight in his 19-year boxing career, and it more than confident he can defeat Berto and finish with a 49-0 record. The 49th victory will tie the champion with boxing great Rocky Marciano, who also recorded 49 wins. "I am ready to get back in the ring on September 12th and prove again to the whole world why I'm the best ever. I always bring my A-game, and this fight against Andre Berto is no

Silly promoters, always ready to set up the next fight. In this instance, they got it right. The ending of the fight with Chavez Jr. was instantly forgotten and forgiven as Max Kellerman segued Alvarez’s post-fight ring interview with a question about Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0, 33 KO’s). The anticipation in the crowd grew with boos, applause and excitement as the arena screen displayed a compilation of GGG dismantling opponents. Seriously, you can’t script this folks. Or, as the promoters showed us, you can.

Johnson followed Jeffries from town to town. “Jeffries, however, refused to fight a black boxer and instead decided to retire undefeated.”(Unforgivable Blackness). The Championship was handed over to a white named Tommy Burns, who as well declined to fight Johnson but eventually gave in at the cost of thirty thousand dollars. In the year 1908, Johnson knocked out Burns in the sixteenth round, to win the title and create history. “He was a fast and brilliant defensive boxer who fought at a time when white champions like John L. Sullivan and James Jeffries refused to fight black fighters. Jeffries retired rather than face Johnson, but he returned six years later when the clamor for a great white hope could not be ignored”(Sandomir D3). Even James Jefferies was beaten and and thus, Johnson had beat all that stood in his way, from bottom to the top. Through perseverance and relentlessness, Johnson had achieved his dream.

"This is a great matchup between two veteran heavyweights who can show a lot of the younger kids how it's done," said Oscar De La Hoya, president and founder of Golden Boy Promotions. "I'm really looking forward to this one and as far as picking a winner, it's a toss-up."

“Tonight in a fifteen round international contest, world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali defends his title against George Chuvalo of Toronto the Canadian heavyweight champion.”

I don’t know who’ll win, but I want to see the fight though, I’ll definitely pay to see those two guys go at it. It won’t be Frazier-Ali, but it’ll be an entraining

Rousey made the announcement during her appearance on 'Good Morning America' on Friday. She also noted the date for the fight as January 2nd.

“I'm probably not fighting again,” Malignaggi said, as reported by ESPN. “You hate to make an emotional decision. My career started in Brooklyn 14 years ago. If it ends in Brooklyn tonight, then at least I ended it at home, where I'm from, and in front of the greatest fans in the world. I've got a really good job commentating and watching great fighters fight ringside. I hope to sit around ringside for a long time.”

Kick boxer Risha is as tough in the ring as she is out. It takes a lot to knock her down.

More out of control has pined for title unification battles with kindred Brits Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Now, it’s officially official. There’s no competition for UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who knocked out Bethe Correia in 34 seconds Saturday night at UFC 190. No, Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino shouldn’t be factored into the discussion because she has yet to set foot in a UFC ring, or prove she can fight at 135 pounds. Most fight fans want to see a dream bout between Rousey and Justino, but smart money would be on the same result as the rest of Rousey’s (12-0) other fights.

“ It felt great! And I think I was able to make coach Rouse proud, but I know that I can do better,” he assures me. I catch a glimmer in his eyes that I had not noticed before. I think it is hunger, he really wants that title and is willing to work hard for it. But so is everybody else, whether it is as simple as cheering his name as he crosses the finish line, or coaching him through four years of blood, sweat, and tears to get him where he is today.

These two competition heavyweights clashed just two weeks ago, where the Wyong Roos came 19-18 victors.

Jones was supposed to take a rematch with current UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, however Cormier was forced to pull out of the bout with a reported injury. But things are getting great for Jones, reports said that Cormier has now medically cleared following an MRI on Monday. UFC president Dana White has confirmed the reports through an interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. White also said that both fighters, Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones will headline UFC 200 this coming July.
