By: Sean Crose Dmitry Bivol has done what few have done before – beaten the great Canelo Alvarez in a boxing ring. And while some could argue that moving up once again to light heavyweight was a bridge too far for Canelo, or that he was starting to show signs of wear and tear when he and Bivol squared off in 2022, there was no doubt defending WBA champion Bivol dominated their fight.

The new range includes three models, TD-1, TD-5, and TD-7, all boasting an…

It’s no secret that ‘DC’ has a deep hatred for Jones. Their rivalry dates back almost a decade when the Hall of Famers first squared off at UFC 182 for the light heavyweight championship. ‘Bones’ won the bout via unanimous decision, but their iconic rivalry prompted the promotion to book a rematch between the two at UFC 214. This time around, Jones finished Cormier in the third round, but the result was later overturned…
