Evander Holyfield is one of the greatest boxers of all time and I’ve decided to take an in-depth look at ‘The Real Deal’.

8 Greatest Boxing Upsets Of All Time

30 years ago, the world was stunned as 37-0 Heavyweight Champion, Mike Tyson lost his heavyweight titles to Buster Douglas in a fight which many saw as a warmup fight before Tyson before he went on to fight Evander Holyfield however Douglas had different plans as he knocked Tyson out in the 10th round. This may be the biggest upset in boxing history as previous to this, Tyson looked unstoppable. Upsets happen in boxing and when they happen, it’s a massive deal so today, I’ll be looking at the biggest upsets in boxing history.

I love the feeling of a big fight which is on PPV however that’s what I think PPV should be, big fights. Tonight we see Dillian Whye and Oscar Rivas headline a Sky Sports box office card and while it’s a fantastic card, I find myself disagreeing that it’s PPV worthy. Today, we look at the 10 most bought boxing PPV’s of all time.

Why Vasyl Lomachenko Is The Pound For Pound Best

Vasyl Lomachenko - one of the finest men to lace up a pair of boots we have seen in a long time and for a man who has only had thirteen fights with twelve wins and one loss this man can be considered to be at the top of the boxing pound for pound list.

Anthony Joshua is arguably the most popular boxer there is at the moment and there’s many reasons why.

Boxing Predictions: August 2018

July was a decent month for boxing, we saw Manny Pacquaio come back and win the WBA welterweight championship, Aleksandr Usyk became the unified cruiserweight champion, Dillian Whyte overcame Joseph Parker and a lot more but let’s put July behind us and move onto August and predict 4 fights.


Also, I am currently 12/12 for boxing predictions so let’s continue this streak although there’s one fight in particular upcoming which might cost me my streak. It’s a risky move but I’m going for it and it’s this one:

Boxing Predictions: July

June was a good month for boxing with a good return from Tyson Fury to the heavyweight division, Josh Taylor topping Viktor Postol, Terrence Crawford bating Jeff Horn and June was just a decent month for boxing but now we’re about to enter July and there are good fights.

Who Should Tyson Fury fight next?

Tyson Fury recently made his long anticipated boxing return against Sefer Seferi in a fight which was so bad it made me cancel the boxing analysis of the fight but I still have faith in Fury’s career and I think he’ll get a few big match ups but who’s next for the Gypsy King?

Canelo Alvarez Vs. Miguel Cotto (Flashback Boxing Analysis)

Earlier this week, the All Things Combat Twitter Page uploaded a poll asking YOU, what Boxing Analysis you’d like to see today and 43% wanted an analysis of a Cotto Vs. Canelo so that’s what’s going to happen. Feel free to come back on Thursday morning where we relive Gennady Golovkin fighting Kell Brook. But for now, let’s get into the fight.

Bellator Star set to return to Boxing

Bellator star, Michael Venom Page is set to have his second boxing match in 13 days on June 15th. He recently made his Bellator return at Bellator 200 against David Rickels which ended in the second round due to Rickels verbally forfeiting the match after a massive punch from Page which burst his face open. It feels like the whole MMA world is watching Page and his next move and his next move is boxing.

How To Start Watching Boxing

We here at AllThingsCombat.com post boxing articles on the regular but what happens when people don’t actually watch boxing? Some people don’t watch it because they don’t want to and while that’s fair enough, some people don’t watch it because they don’t know where to start. There’s dozens of fights every month and people just don’t know what ones to watch so they just don’t but we here at AllThingsCombat.com have decided to make an article about how to start watching boxing so let’s start.

Anthony Joshua Vs. Wladimir Klitschko (Flashback Boxing Analysis)

Last April, Anthony Joshua had his biggest fight of his life - Wladimir Klitschko. Everybody and their dog was excited for this fight as it was (probably) the biggest heavyweight fight in 2017. This was one of my favourite boxing fights not just that year but of all time, both boxers looked so impressive and I’m looking forward to rewatching this classic!

Deontay Wilder: The Boxing Record

It’s time for another Boxing Record and we’re keeping with the heavyweight theme here as Deontay Wilder gets his own boxing record.

Josh Warrington Vs. Lee Selby (The Boxing Analysis)

The Boxing Analysis is back for another fight as Josh Warrington takes on Lee Selby for Selby’s IBF featherweight championship in a fight which will most likely go down as a cracker. I’m looking forward to watching this fight as Warrington is an orthodox fighter while Selby is more of a switcher which is kind of unique in boxing nowadays.

Amir Khan Vs. Canelo Alvarez (Flashback Boxing Analysis)

Amir Khan made his comeback to boxing last month by knocking out Phil Lo Greco in 40 seconds but Canelo Alvarez recently got suspended but a long time ago in May 2016, the two of them fought. It was a good fight with some good build-up. It’s speed vs power.

Vasyl Lomachenko Vs. Jorge Linares (The Boxing Analysis)

These two boxers are two of the best in the lightweight division and really know how to pack a punch so what happens when the two of them collide? The WBA lightweight title is on the line as Linares defends his belt against Lomachenko, here we go.

Hughie Fury Vs. Sam Sexton (The Boxing Analysis)

After just publishing an article, I thought I could just watch some TV. Perhaps some Family Guy or even Impratical Jokers, however after scrolling through the channel list I came across some boxing and I just remembered that Hughie Fury was in action against Sam Sexton and it was free on TV. So, I thought why not do a boxing analysis of the fight?

Manny Pacquaio Vs. Miguel Cotto (Flashback Boxing Analysis)

It feels like forever since Pacquiao went one on one with Cotto but in actual fact it was less than a decade ago. This boxing fight has to be in my top 10 of all time, the fight was action packed round after round and I’ve not seen this fight in a year or two. So let’s start this flashback boxing analysis off with the first round.

Anthony Joshua: The Boxing Record

Last week, we had an article about Tyson Fury’s boxing record, this week, we’re going from one heavyweight to another in Anthony Joshua. Joshua made his boxing debut in 2013 and that’s where we’re going to start off.

Gennady Golovkin Vs. Vanes Martirosyan (The Boxing Analysis)

Gennady Golovkin fought Vanes Martirosyan last night and since David Haye & Tony Bellew got a Boxing Analysis, I think it’s only fair if this fight gets one too.

David Haye Vs. Tony Bellew 2 (The Boxing Analysis)

Last year, David Haye battled eleven rounds with Tony Bellew but Haye failed. Last night it was all about revenge or redemption. Let’s take a look at the fight in the boxing analysis.

Tyson Fury: The Boxing Record

Tyson Fury has been one of the most notable boxers of the past decade, the man is a heavyweight monster who’s defeated all of his opponents. Fury returns to the ring this June to take on an opponent who hasn’t been confirmed yet but I am hoping it’s Dillian Whyte but that’s just me. Anyway, it’s time to get into the boxing record of Tyson Fury.

Who Can Chris Eubank Jr. fight next?

After suffering a defeat to George Grooves a few months back, it is unknown when he will fight again. That’s not the real question though, the real question is who he’ll fight again and I’ve got a few options.

David Haye Vs. Tony Bellew (The Boxing Analysis: Flashback)


Welcome to the first ever boxing analysis on All Things Combat, the series which breaks down boxing fights, round by round. There will be an analysis on the rematch of Haye & Bellew but to get exciting for their rematch, how about we take a look at their first encounter.

5 Boxing Fights That Should Happen Within The Next Year


Boxing today has a lot of great fighters and there’s so many possibilities for big fights to happen so today, I’ll be writing about boxing matches that should happen within the next year.

Boxing Predictions For May


May is shaped up to be a decent month for boxing as you have Gennady Golovkin fighting Vanes Martirosyan. David Haye will go to war with Tony Bellew for the second time. The last fight is Josh Warrington Vs. Lee Selby so I think we’ll start with that match.

Josh Warrington Vs. Lee Selby

5 Potential Opponents For Amir Khan


Amir Khan has recently made his return to the boxing ring on Saturday getting a 40 second TKO victory over Phil Lo Greco. The question on everybody’s mind is where the Khan Man goes next and we here at All Things Combat have 5 potential opponents for Amir Khan’s next fight.

5: Kell Brook

This one is basically confirmed at this point, Kell Brook and Amir Khan have previously stated that they want this fight. In fact, Amir Khan said that he wanted a fight to warm himself up for Kell Brook. I think it’s safe to say that he’s officially warmed up.

4: Errol Spence Jr.

This would be a great match for Khan and I think this would make a great fight. Errol Spencer is fighting this June and is most likely hoping for his 23-0 streak. Spence Vs. Khan has never happened before but Spence has defeated the likes of Lo Greco and Kell Brook who we have previously mentioned.

3: Keith Thurman Jr.

Also known as the best welterweight boxer going today, Thurman has it all. The man is a WBA welterweight super champion (not to be confused with Lucas Matthysse who is the WBA welterweight Champion). Thurman is also the WBC welterweight Champion. I do believe that Thurman would beat Khan but I’d still like to see this fight.

2: Jeff Horn

And speaking of welterweight Champions, Jeff Horn. Horn is currently enjoying life as WBO welterweight Champion after defeating Manny Pacquiao in the middle of 2017. Since then, he has successfully defended the belt against Gary Corcoran. He is scheduled to defend his belt against Terence Crawford in June. Horn Vs Khan has never happened and I think that’s a bad move. Jeff Horn is a great boxer who has potential to do some great things in the near future.

1: Manny Pacquiao

Like Amir Khan or dislike him, him verses Pacquio is a big money fight, millions will watch this fight legally and illegally. Pacquiao is fighting in July and will fight Lucas Matthyse for the WBA welterweight Champion. I hope Pacquiao wins because if he does, we’re on our way to Pacquiao verses Khan and I for one is excited.
