Is Anthony Joshua Britain's next heavyweight hope? Joshua-Leo Fight Preview

By Jack Sumner @Jack_Sumner_

September was a mixed bag for boxing. There were the mountainous highs of Mayweather versus Alvarez across the pond, a record-breaker and an exhibition of pugilistic excellence from a modern great, with it’s stellar undercard that confirmed a new star in Danny Garcia. Another star was born last Saturday in Montreal, when Adonis Stevenson proved to be the goods against Tavoris Cloud and on British shores a week earlier, boxing had found a new home with the successful coronation of the Copper Box in London.

Cuban Revolution

By Adam_Canavan

It was in 1962 where the Cuban leader Fidel Castro decided to outlaw professional sports for political reasons that are probably beyond my knowledge to comment on, I'll stick to the boxing, and this leads to the Cuban domination in the amateurs that we all know and love. and if a Cuban fighter did want to turn pro then they would have to defect from their country. Fighters such as Teófilo Stevenson and Felix Savon chose to stay put in the amateurs and stay with their country and the great Pro's Cuba have produced such as Kid Chocolate and Kid Gavilán predated the ban on professional sports with the exception of the likes of Joel Casamayor, who is probably the most well known and successful Cuban defector in the pro ranks so far.
