David Haye backed Deontay Wilder’s chin and recovery powers before the Tyson Fury rematch. Twelve days later, WBN was ringside in Las Vegas as Fury walked Wilder down, dropped him twice and stopped him in seven. Full Story: https://www.worldbox...

Katie Taylor’s final fight to be announced... 🇮🇪

Watched the #VinnieJones documentary on #Netflix and it made me want to go back and watch #LockStockandTwoSmokingBarrels. Here's my review of that film!

With #MortalKombatII now in the cinema, here's my review of its direct predecessor. I have also reviewed the 1995 Mortal Kombat, which is a cinematic back-street abortion, so I'll save you reading that. #MortalKombat #Cinema #FilmReview #Gaming

Having interviewed #ConorBenn, we're fairly confident he's acting a prat to make money- but he's still unlikable. Popping for PEDs is unforgivable (though way more of a problem than accepted) and #RyanGarcia is hardly squeaky clean. What do you think about #GarciaBenn?

NEW REVIEW! Just arrived (wonder why) on #Disney is #ThePunisher #OneLastKill. Like Frank Castle, I battled mental health issues and apathy to get through this- but was it worth it?

Ahmed came up short on Saturday, showing early promise and great heart he was ultimately walked down and beaten unanimously by Louie O'Doherty who continues to impress.

Good luck 👍 to #DaveAllen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 tonight. Fighting the Croatian 🇭🇷 giant #FilipHrgovic #Doncaster #DAZN #Boxing 👊 🤜 💥

On May 16, 1975, Muhammad Ali won the heavyweight boxing title by defeating Ron Lyle via technical knockout in the 11th round. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K94g...

Max Schmeling (1930’s), the first boxer to defeat Joe Louis, Schmeling also holds the record of being the longest lived former boxing heavyweight champion, having reached 99.

Ahmed is a lively character who's enjoying winding O'Doherty up ahead of their fight this weekend. I always enjoy his company and wish him the best for the fight. Check out my interview with him!

CRY HAVOC! Ahmed Hatim gets his big shot live on #DAZN this Saturday, in a grudge match for the #British and #Commonwealth Lightweight Titles against Louie O'Doherty. Ahmed spoke to Southpaw Jab after his brilliant win last time out. #Boxing #Interview #AllenHrgovic

"THE BEST IN THE UK- HE'S READY!" Manager Mickey Helliet is effusive in his praise for #MosesJolly- the unbeaten #heavyweight faces Will Howe for the Commonwealth International Title in Neath, May 23rd.

COULD'VE, WOULD'VE, SHOULD'VE, DIDN'T The next part of his #boxing life sees a tuned up Jamie Hughes reach the heights of fighting for England, and on one trip away treating himself to some adult material in a hotel. Boxing gives with one hand, and punches below the belt with the other.

Moses is an unbeaten, up and coming heavyweight who's got a massive test later this month- read more about him and his fight here!

I think this is the funniest episode in Jamie's story, from nothing to fighting for England and buying grot. Then struggling again. He speaks to me on a human level and it's fascinating reading.

Some #fiction I wrote based on a real story about religious persuction in England under Kings and Queens of old. I am not a religious person, but I aimed to capture #faith against state violence and the hypocrisy within. #religion #England

COULD'VE, WOULD'VE, SHOULD'VE, DIDN'T... Jamie Hughes fought for England as an amateur and left #boxing unwillingly as a 4-0 pro. He describes his journey from fat kid who just wanted to fight, earning respect as he learned in a tough environment, up to being good enough to fight for his country.

IT'S HERE! Kinda. #AJFury #FuryJoshua etc Not a surprise really for boxing fans, but a happy development that they've signed it up for late this year after Joshua has a warm up (gimme) fight. Via BBC

Prince Naseem Hamed is nothing if not honest. Having met Johnny Nelson in a work capacity, was not impressed with him. As a boxer it's a bit subjective as the man achieved a lot. Interesting read. #boxing Via @worldboxingnews.com

UNLEASH THE REAL KILLER! Matt McCallum made a little bit of history on Saturday night, winning a third Northern Area Title in a third weight class. He spoke to @bedsitcinema.bsky.social to breakdown his victory and future. #Boxing #Newcastle

ROBERTO DURAN! MIKE TYSON! JOE CALZAGHE! @bedsitcinema.bsky.social casts an eye over some top fighting films about boxing greats and reviews both the production and the personality. He comes to some interesting conclusions... #Boxing #documentary

One of Southpaw Jab's team, Matt McCallum made history last night, stopping his old foe Adam Hepple in the 8th round to win the Northern Area light heavyweight title. Matt is now a three time, three weight northern area champion- the first boxer to achieve that. Well done Matt! #Boxing

#RentalFamily is new to #Disney and wouldn't you know it I've reviewed the charming, very human dramedy SPOILER FREE! Nothing that'll ruin the plot in my reviews, ever. This one contains some musings on emotions and memories it evoked in me which is a my thing. Enjoy!

Sitting right in front of us was Johnny Harris, wrote and starred in #Jawbone, which I've reviewed- check it out!

Went to #BFI Southbank to see a screening of Jim Sheridan's #TheBoxer. Was a lovely treat having former world champion Barry McGuigan there to talk about the making of the film afterwards.

More #heavyweight #boxing action this weekend as #TysonFury returns from his fifth retirement to face limited but heavy handed #ArslanbekMakhmudov. The show will be broadcast on #Netflix, which should be interesting as their productions are strange to us UK viewers.

Of course, in #TheBoys, the seven is a parody of #DC's #JusticeLeague, which is a loose segue to my review of a film which popped into my head. A lot more wholesome than The Boys, #DCLeagueofSuperPets!

Nobody expected a classic, but neiher did they expect what #ChisoraWilder served up. @bedsitcinema.bsky.social tries to make sense of this bizarre bout. Does Derek Chisora bow out after this loss? #Boxing

I'm a big fan of both of these fighters but I'm not going to tell you this was anything other than just a fight, or at least I wasn't. Chisora versus Wilder became something else in that ring. Here's my thoughts.

Interesting character, Del Boy, but he's had a good run in his Indian summer. Winter is coming, but will Deontay Wilder be its Night King? I'll be watching, that's for damn sure.

With his fight against #DeontayWilder later tonight, @bedsitcinema.bsky.social reflects on #DerekChisora and his current status as a lovable hero rolling risky dice.

Another great #boxing interview in #TheGuardian by the venerable #DonalMcRae. #Wales' welterweight champion #LaurenPrice is teetering on greatness but needs big fights. Her multi world titles bout with #StephaniePineiroAquino will be live on the #BBC on April 4th.

The away fighter is an undervalued and vital part of #boxing. Those big name fighters don't come out of nowhere. @southpawjab.bsky.social loves pugilism and is always trying to find interesting stories to tell. This is a great one! Give it a read.

Continuing the Southpaw Jab series on journeymen, boxing's teachers, here's Matt Lewis on why the student can (and should) be taught a harsh lesson sometimes. #Boxing

It's the least glamorous but possibly most important job in boxing. Away fighters know they're expected to lose but also know they can win and when they do upset the expected, it has other effects. @bedsitcinema.bsky.social spoke to former champion Jamie Speight about this weird part of the sport.

Really good piece by the ever excellent Donald McRae with #DerekChisora ahead of his final fight. He takes on #DeontayWilder and it is a battle between aging pro's past their best which is nonetheless captivating. #boxing

Oh God it's #Monday again. If you're feeling fed up and need a decent film to keep you going, check out my review of #TheLincolnLawyer with #MatthewMcConaughey.

NEW REVIEW! Boasting a ridiculously good cast, #EdwardZwick’s #Glory has class, themes of racism, war and #MatthewBroderick's confounding facial hair. GLORY- bit.ly/47v2ijn #FilmReviews #DenzelWashington #MorganFreeman #ClassicCinema

Darren Barker "he's hit Franklin so hard even his corner man is concussed" after the corner man protested the stoppage. Hilarious!
