BEYOND BOXING EP281 - EDDIE ASAMOAH HEARN by Highfield Boxing

It’s been a crazy year for Anthony Joshua and you have to suspect that there are problems for him in the ring and there are problems for him outside the ring. What those problems are, not many of us know but we know that there are problems, and it seems that is the reason he’s no longer in the UK. Now, what that means for his career very hard to say but it’s very strange that none of the media outlets are asking the right questions.

BEYOND BOXING EP279 - WHEN ZACH PARKED THE BUS by Highfield Boxing

When two men go to war like Fabio Wardley and Joseph Parker did, there are no losers.

What a fight and what a story Fabio Wardley’s career is becoming.

Rocky really lives amongst us. The man’s life is a movie.

A long time ago I said Turki and the Saudis saw boxing as a tool, not a passion project. Wardley-Parker is proof that they won't burn cashon fights that do not serve their aims.

For those fights, the fans have to pay.

Dave Allen’s spirited effort just wasn’t enough to overcome the power and precision of Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Despite coming off a huge knockout win over Johnny Fisher back in May, Allen fell short on the scorecards, with all three judges giving the fight to the Russian, even after Makhmudov had two points deducted for holding.

Where does Dave go now, and is this down in the hole Matchroom are now?

There is no doubt that Crawford is the best of this era, but we have to stop with the Floyd comparisons because he was one of one.

Crawford winning against Canelo has disrupted the boxing money train temporarily as he will not find an opponent to give him the payday he wants.

Boers on OnlyFans....stop please.

Ricky Hatton, known as “The Hitman” and beloved by legions of fans, passed away on 14 September 2025 aged 46. Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Hatton turned professional in 1997, going on to carve out a storied career in the light‐welterweight and welterweight divisions. He captured world titles, most memorably defeating Kostya Tszyu in 2005, and amassed an outstanding record of 45 wins in 48 fights. 

Hatton’s appeal transcended his ring achievements. His ferocious, all-action style won him dedicated fan support, tens of thousands followed him even across oceans.  Afterwards, he was open about life’s battles: depression, substance abuse and the challenge of life once gloves were off. His frankness on mental health made him a powerful figure of empathy in British sport. 

Ricky Hatton’s legacy will endure, as a warrior in the ring; an everyman who made the extraordinary seem within reach; and a voice for those whose fights happen outside it.

Canelo Álvarez, dominant at super-middleweight, brings size, power, and championship pedigree into his defense against

Terence Crawford, the undefeated tactician jumping two weight divisions. Canelo’s physicality, granite chin, and ring experience give him clear advantages, but Crawford’s timing, adaptability, and counterpunching make him a live threat.

The fight represents a clash between natural strength and pure skill: can Crawford’s precision offset Canelo’s size? The bout could redefine pound-for-pound supremacy and boxing history.

The story is the story. No answers to any questions.
