LUCAS Browne has used his time on the sidelines to plot a return to the heavyweight summit. The hard-hitting Australian lost his unbeaten record on the biggest of stages, falling to WBC Silver titleholder Dillian Whyte at the O2 Arena in spectacular fashion after six one-sided rounds.

THERE is a sense of irony surrounding Tevin Farmer’s world title challenge against Billy Dib. Unlike many of the star-studded names in the stacked super-featherweight division, Farmer (25-4-1, 5 KOs) wasn’t signed on the back of a stellar amateur career. The Philadelphia-born southpaw to
THE story of Billy Dib is one of remarkable longevity and unrivaled determination. Ten years ago, an undefeated Dib unsuccessfully challenged Steve Luevano for his version of a featherweight world championship at the famed Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins’ s
