Make Boxing Great Again
It's the year 2016, we're 1 year removed from "The Fight of the Century" between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao and both men have since elected to retire from the sport altogether. Businessman Jimmy Harlow decided to take a chance and try to restore the sport of boxing to it's previous glory. He promised that he would promote some of the greatest bouts that the world has ever seen featuring some great up and coming talent as well as the well established boxers that the world has come to know. |

The Heavyweights
Night 1
January 16, 2016
Bellville Velodrome
Cape Town, South Africa
Attendance: 5,921
Heavyweight Bout
Wladimir Klitschko (34-4) vs. Lucas Browne (23-0-1)
Recap:
Klitschko used his vast experience to his advantage in the opening rounds as he dominated Browne with jabs and hooks but when the fifth round rolled around, Browne fought his way back into the bout, bloodying Klitschko and rocking him early in the round but he fought back and survived the round. The sixth round was a different story as Klitschko came out with a jab and an uppercut sending Browne to the ground for the knockout victory.
Wladimir Klitschko wins via Knockout in Round 6.
Heavyweight Bout
Deontay Wilder (36-0) vs. Joseph Parker (19-0)
Recap:
The two young fighters put on a show for the nearly sold out arena as they both went back and forth in a slug fest. The first four rounds saw both men about even and neither looked to be making the case as to why they should win and both were bruised and bloodied from several hard shots. The fifth and sixth rounds saw Wilder take control of the fight and nearly knock Parker out but he managed to fight his way out of it to survive the round. The seventh round had different fortunes as Parker flew out of the corner on the bell and Wilder connected with a huge right to his jaw knocking him out cold.
Deontay Wilder wins via Knockout in Round 7.
Heavyweight Bout
Charles Martin (23-1-1) vs. Anthony Joshua (16-0)
Recap:
The young gun from Great Britain, Anthony Joshua showed why he is quite possibly the next big thing in professional boxing as he dominated Martin from the opening bell and knocked him out within minutes.
Anthony Joshua wins via Knockout in Round 1.
Heavyweight Bout
Tyson Fury (25-0) vs. Andy Ruiz (26-0)
Recap:
A heavyweight bout for the ages saw both undefeated fighter have a fantastic bout. The first four rounds belonged solely to Fury but after that, it was all Ruiz and the two were bloodied and bruised come the tenth round. Within the round, Fury knocked Ruiz down twice but he was able to come back and knock Fury down but the fight was not done there. The last two rounds were a total slug fest as a flurry of haymakers and jabs were thrown and the bout ended with a split decision victory for Fury!
