Mike McCallum is often overlooked when the greatest fighters in history are discussed, but it’d be fitting if his death led to followers of boxing revisiting his fights and appreciating how great he really was. It’s not an exaggeration to write that McCallum, who died at the age of 68, is one of the pioneers of modern-day boxing. He was a great champion at junior middleweight, middleweight and light heavyweight. I used to love studying footage of him and watching his fights.

James Cook MBE has died at the age of 66. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier in 2025, soon after which he started treatment, but his condition worsened and he passed in a hospital in London. During a fine career Cook – born in 1959 in Runaway Bay, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica – won the British and European super-middleweight titles. While growing up in Jamaica, however – he was being raised by his grandparents – it was cricket, and not boxing, that was his passion.

Joe Cordina is nearing a new promotional contract with Matchroom and expects to follow signing it with an imminent return to the ring. Wales’ Cordina recently reached a year of inactivity, off the back of his only defeat – against Northern Ireland’s Anthony Cacace, on an evening when he sacrificed his IBF junior lightweight title and when his previous promotional agreement with Matchroom came to an end.

Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement at the age of 37. The Ukrainian, by all estimations a modern great and by numerous others among the greatest of all time, does so as a three-weight world champion and two-time Olympic gold medallist whose reported amateur record was 396-1. He fought, for potentially the final time, in May 2024 when he stopped Australia’s George Kambosos Jnr to move to 18-3 (12 KOs) and to win the vacant IBF lightweight title.

Likely won’t be a popular opinion but to my mind, at his very peak, I thought Lomachenko proved himself the best we’ve seen since Mayweather. Even those with a stake in Alvarez who referred to Alvarez as the best in the world knew that it was really Lomachenko
