Podcast: 2025 Boxing Mid-Year Awards

Plus, thoughts on Jake Paul and Deontay Wilder
3

In this episode, we talk a bit about boxing in two ways. For starters, we recap heavyweight Deontay Wilder’s win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon on Friday. Followed by Jake Paul’s unanimous decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., this was followed by a conversation about Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, who made a unified title defense against Yuniel Dorticos on the MVP pay-per-view card. The undercard saw a few things of note: lightweight Floyd Schofield had a star-making performance by stopping Tevin Farmer in one round, Julian Rodriguez revived his career with a 10th-round knockout of Avious Griffin, and deep on the undercard, Rene Alvarado upset unbeaten Victor Morales.

Also, super middleweight Christian Mbilli proves once again to be a serious dude, stopping Maciej Sulecki in one round.

This is followed by a brief preview of the two fights this week: Sergiy Derevyanchenko returns on Tuesday as a part of CountryBox, and Jack Catterall faces Harlem Eubank at welterweight.

Then, we do the mid-year awards:

Those are Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, Prospect of the Year, Contender of the Year, Trainer of the Year, Round of the Year, and Upset of the Year.

As always, if you enjoy the show, tell a friend to tell a friend.
