Beyond Boxing

We're finally here. We finally get one face, one king of boxing. Now will it be Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk? I don't think the answer is obvious, but I hope the analysis here helps.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how dangerous boxing is. No parent should ever have to bury their child and this weekend was a reminder that for all the things we say, all the issues we talk about in boxing, boxer safety should always, and I mean always, remain top of that list. We may not be where we want to be but we are further ahead than we were a decade ago. However, that does

So Ryan Garcia fails a drugs test. He failed for Ostarine and he failed for nandrolone and these are worrying substances because no boxers should really have them in the system. We’ve been through this so many times with boxers that it’s no longer a joke and everything that Larry said it’s turning out to be correct. Now that Boxing has a massive drug problem and this drug pro

As always, click the link for everything. https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing We’ve all been able to witness the Ryan Garcia’s victory tour and as much fun as it has been and as interesting as it has been, I think we’re at the point now where those close to Ryan Garcia need to put their arms around him and bring him back down to earth, getting back in the gym and getting back t

When two people spend their formative years as rivals, it is hard to understand how intense a fight between them as men can be. Add to that, the eyes of the boxing world, and you have something that has the capacity to bend minds and upset odds. Ryan Garcia surprised the world in beating Devin Haney, despite the antics leading up to the fight. In truth, if someone was going to expo

We finally get the Queensberry v Matchroom clash we were promised in the pandemic – only took us one vaccine and 4 boosters to get there. As boxing fans, we should be happy that we have a big card, which has meaning, supported by 5 really strong fights. The only dark cloud is whether we are running this Saudi experiment at the expense of our domestic British boxing product. In te

What is going on with our promoters? It seems like chaos in the worlds of Hearn, Warren, and Shalom. It’s a great soap opera for men that like to be the little spoon, I guess. However, it doesn’t help make the sport stronger. The sad bit is, now that Eddie and Frank are forced to be cool, Eddie has taken to bully Ben Shalom. Yes…this is really how a middle-aged man is behavin

The world needs more superheroes… It’s very rare that you get a British title fight where two men leave everything in the ring, where two men go to places they’ve never been before, and where they find out things about themselves that they never knew. It is so rare to see that Sunday’s fight between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke, even though it ended is a draw, elevated b

At some point, British boxing has to address its issues around doping. Doping in Boxing has massively watered down the credibility of the sport and left us in a position where we don’t believe results anymore. We don’t believe fighters are clean and we don’t believe our boxes are competing with honour. UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control won their appeal against the
