Boxing News – Ringside Action and Behind-the-Scenes Access

UFABET เว็บแม่ โปรโมชั่น news, ringside action and behind-the-scenes access to the world of UK and global boxing. Covering the best fights, biggest stars and hottest events, Boxing News delivers all the news, analysis and human stories that make boxing compelling in Britain and beyond.

A weekly newspaper launched in 1909, Boxing News has been the main trade paper of the sport since its inception. It was founded by John Murray, a regular contributor to Health and Strength magazine who convinced its owner that there was demand for a specialist publication on the subject of boxing.

The magazine went into a decline in the late 1920s, and was put up for sale twice before it was saved by a group of London sportsmen who installed Sydney Rushton as editor. He tried to run it like a newspaper, cutting popular features and reducing news stories to the shortest possible length. This was not a success and circulation dropped to its lowest point before Billy Masters, the city printer, came to the rescue with his own take on the magazine.

Under his stewardship Boxing News changed direction and became more widely read. He broadened the coverage to include North American boxing, introduced a full-colour format and brought in assistant editor Claude Abrams. Abrams later left to write books, and was succeeded as editor by Tris Dixon, who in turn was replaced by Matt Christie. In 2024, Mark Butcher took over as editor. BN also publishes an annual calendar of the year’s major UK and international bouts and produces special issues when big fights take place, such as the Manny Pacquiao v Floyd Mayweather and Carl Froch v George Groves fights.
