Barry Jones once revealed what he believes is the greatest win of Joe Calzaghe's exceptional professional career.  In the eyes of so many, Calzaghe stands tall as being the greatest British fighter to have ever laced up a pair of boxing gloves.  'The Pride of Wales' remained unbeaten for the entirety of his decorated 15-year career, defeating each of the 46 opponents that he crossed paths with along the way.  Calzaghe remains the longest-reigning super-middleweight champion of all time, making no less than 20 successful defences of his WBO world title over a ten year period.  He shared the ring with a number of outstanding fighters during his tenure, including the likes of Mikkel Kessler, Bernard Hopkins and the legendary Roy Jones Jr, who is widely considered to be one of the greatest fighters ever.  In an episode of the Boxing Social Podcast , former WBO super-featherweight champion Barry Jones didn't hesitate to reveal what he believes was his countryman's gr...

He's not interested in just a tickover fight. He wants to go straight into a big fight ... There's some big fights but all he wants really is to become a ...

  Photo Credit: Huw Fairclough/Getty Images Joshua John's dream of fighting for the coveted Lonsdale Belt is set to be made official in the coming weeks.  The 31-year-old from Port Talbot has been waiting patiently for his opportunity to box for the British bantamweight title ever since he defeated Logan Richardson in a final eliminator last June.  John outclassed Richardson over ten rounds at The Galleries in Bristol to earn his shot at the title, which is currently vacant.  The last fighter to hold the belt was Liverpool's Andrew Cain, who made just one defence of the title when he defeated world title challenger Charlie Edwards in his hometown back in March of 2025.  As revealed on the BBBofC's recent Championship Circular , John has been ordered to face Tilbury's Harvey Smith for the vacant British bantamweight strap next.  Smith is also the reigning Commonwealth Bantamweight champion, a title he has held since he defeated Glasgow's Lennon Mulligan back...

Photo Credit: Getty Images Gavin Gwynne's long-awaited return to action has been confirmed as he gears up to face yet another unbeaten British prospect.  The 35-year-old's most recent ring appearance came back in November when his rematch with Cameron Vuong was declared a majority draw after a competitive 10-rounds in Birmingham.  It had been argued that Gwynne had done more than enough to get his hand raised in both of his showdowns with Vuong, but it wasn't to be for the former British, European and Commonwealth lightweight champion.  With his 25th professional ring appearance on the horizon, Gwynne is set to lock horns with another undefeated Englishman who has been tipped to achieve big things on the domestic scene.  As revealed by Queensberry Promotions on Thursday evening , Gwynne will face Bolton's Khaleel Majid in a ten round super-lightweight clash on Saturday May 9. The domestic bout is set to take place on the undercard of Fabio Wardley's WBO world heavyw...
