Mexican-American boxer Ryan García is considered one of the sport's greatest prospects, as the 25-year-old, is ranked as the world's fourth-best active lightweight by The Ring magazine, and the sixth-best active junior welterweight by ESPN.

However, he lost in his biggest fight to date against Gervonta 'Tank' Davis on April 22, being knocked out in the seventh round. The fight was a commercial success, selling over 1.2 million PPVs on Showtime, with now García looking to redeem himself in his next fight.

Boxing fans often forget that before Tyson Fury decided to take on Deontay Wilder, the American boxer was undefeated and believed to be the hardest puncher in the business.

American boxer Shawn Porter has heaped praise on Francis Ngannou, following the former UFC star's impressive showing against Tyson Fury.

Fury won their bout in Saudi Arabia and, unlike some, Porter agrees that the Englishman did enough to win that fight.

But, Porter was left impressed by Ngannou's skills and believes he can cause other heavyweight boxers problems down the line.

"Even though Ngannou showed himself to be very strong, and showed himself to be prepared for this fight, he also showed that he does not have enough boxing mechanics to win enough rounds to beat Tyson Fury," Porter told TMZ Sports.

Youtuber Jake Paul literally spoke into existence the boxing career he has today, he's been doing it so well that he already has an impressive 7-1 record. Throughout that time, Jake has managed to fight mostly MMA athletes and gone to battle with most of them. Although he still hasn't reached the level to fight the absolute best in the sport, he is definitely taking huge steps in the right direction. In recent months, the Youtuber-turned semi-pro boxer has been telling the world that his ultimate goal is to fight Mexican Middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Despite getting a negative response from him, recent interviews gave us a slightly more welcoming response from Canelo.
