Boxing News, since our 1909 inception, has been completely free of bias and always takes pride in putting the readers first. It is not owned by a promoter nor are any of our writers on the payroll of promoters.
That’s’ why we are the most trusted source of news within the boxing industry. We will not report on anything flippantly – that is, we won’t publish something just for the sake of getting clicks. We are only interested in quality delivering the truth and compelling content to our readers. Our readers are also our customers and we care about nobody more than them.
We investigate everything extensively, and cover subjects that few others do. Everyone reported on Tyson Fury’s most recent triumph, but do you know what happened in the dressing room before he had his first fight as a teenage amateur? We do, and we’re more than happy to share this with you.
You will find ringside fight reports from all over the world and exclusive interviews with the biggest names. We have been ringside at some of the biggest fights in history and it’s all there in our 110-year archives which are the envy of the industry.
We always focus on the stories that need telling, rather than the ones promoters want us to tell.
It’s not all about the fights, either. Ever wanted to write a boxing book? We can show you how. Ever wondered what happened to the boxing pub? We’ve investigated that, too. And, if you’re in the mood to debate, we have ranked all of Mike Tyson’s fights, from 58 down to 1. We’ve compiled the top 50 moments from the life of Muhammad Ali and even ranked the best boxing movies.
In short, we are the most revered and respected boxing news outlet on the planet.
But don’t just take my word for it.
In the most recent Boxing Writers Association of America awards, Boxing News came out top for the quality of our reporting, beating the likes of ESPN, Boxing Scene, Boxing Monthly and The Ring. “BN stormed the awards like the Beatles storming America in 1964,” was how our success was reported. Not only that, our writers picked up several individual awards including Best Event Coverage and Best Feature.
In the UK, at the highly prestigious Sports Journalist Association Awards – also known as the ‘Oscars of Sports Journalism’ – Boxing News is the only boxing publication to break the monopoly of the daily newspapers. No other sports magazine has figured as prominently as we continue to do so. In fact, at the recent ceremony, we were named as ‘Best Sports Website’ beating Sky Sports, The Guardian, The Daily Mail and the Telegraph. On top of that, we won the ‘Best Sports Special Edition’ for the fourth consecutive year. Our team of contributors includes names such as Thomas Hauser, Donald McRae, Springs Toledo, Nigel Collins, Steve Bunce and Thomas Gerbasi – without question, six of the leading boxing writers in the world.
Our dedicated editorial team includes the esteemed Elliot Worsell and John Dennen, the award-winning Paul Wheeler and myself, Matt Christie. We have all received worldwide honours for our writing and achievements, and work round the clock to deliver the stories that matter to you.
Producing the best boxing content in the world, woking all day and all night, costs money. We intend to continue doing what we do, delivering the best and most reliable and best content in the industry, free from clickbait and excessive ads, and to grow and get even better.
