So much appreciation for LennyZ who told us this was his last fight tonight. Congratulations on a wonderful career. You are nothing but class and a true warrior!

The Top Rank family mourns the passing of Maxim Dadashev.
Maxim was a talented fighter inside the ring and a loving husband and father outside the ropes. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
In case you’re scoring at home;
@sniper_pedraza
since joining
@trboxing
is March, June, August title fight, BIG payday & unification with
@VasylLomachenko
in December! Come on over boys and join the fun!
I think the EX-champ is on to something here. One time , way back when I was with Main Events, me, Ronnie & Mark went out after Pete’s fight in Norfolk. Next thing ya know, Ronnie & I didn’t know where we were!!
Deontay Wilder: "My water was spiked as if I took a muscle relaxer or something like that. My water was tampered with… It was like I had no control over my body, my legs were weak… I think he [Mark Breland] has got something to do with my water as well too." [78SPORTSTV]
Why not? You can’t really box. No footwork or handspeed. You haven’t figured out distance yet. You won’t fight him over there. You can’t make 126. You want too much $ to go there. You don’t wanna unify. You’re not chasing greatness. Leave anything out ...🤦♂️
I gotta bigger fight. How about putting Jacobs with
@EdgarBerlangaJr
…and then when Berlanga wins he can move up and fight the winner of Beterbiev/Smith. In Yankee Stadium. Next June on PR 🇵🇷 Day weekend.
Ran into
@EddieHearn
and Keith Connolly, Eddie says he’ll be making a multi-million dollar offer to Top Rank and Joe Smith Jr. for a 175-pound title fight with Danny Jacobs in the fall on DAZN. Big N.Y. fight. Hearn willing to do it on ESPN if it makes more financial sense
For the third consecutive time, Main Events has banned me from speaking to Sergey Kovalev. Disappointing behavior. Guess they wouldn’t want anyone asking him about the felony accusations
Sources: Top Rank and ESPN are contemplating a show on June 1 that would go head-to-head with DAZN’s heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Jarrell Miller. TR is counter-programming DAZN’s Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs fight on May 4 with Artur Beterbiev-Sven Fornling
JUST ANNOUNCED: 🌪The Tartan Tornado🌪 has signed a multi-year deal with Top Rank, and the Junior Welterweight scene just got even more interesting.
Undefeated unified champion
@JoshTaylorBoxer
(16-0, 12KO) will make his ESPN debut in 2020. Stay tuned for details.
Wonderful service this morning for the late great Harold Lederman. Lamps’ eulogy was incredible, as expected, brought tears & laughs to all of us.
