INSIDE this week’s issue of Boxing News, the world’s only weekly boxing publication (established 1909), we have all the action and reaction from the incredible Bernard Hopkins’ IBF light-heavyweight title victory over Tavoris Cloud in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

All of the rest of the past weekend’s fights are covered, including Darren Barker-Simone Rotolo at Wembley Arena, Ashley Sexton’s European bantamweight title tilt against Stephane Jamoye in Belgium and Curtis Woodhouse’s English light-welterweight title defence against Shayne Singelton in Manchester.

Puerto Rican idol Miguel Cotto features in the news section alongside the likes of Vyacheslav Senchenko, Curtis Woodhouse, Nathan Cleverly, Juan Diaz and Herbie Hide.

Timothy Bradley’s WBO welterweight title defence against Ruslan Provodnikov in Carson, California is previewed, as is the heavyweight rematch between John McDermott and Matt Skelton in Bethnal Green and the vacant English super-featherweight title clash between Gary Sykes and Kevin Hooper in Humberston.

We select the current top 10 heavyweights in the world, Russia’s Denis Shafikov faces the 60-second interview, super-middleweight prospect Jesse Hart is this week’s Shooting Star and we speak exclusively to renowned boxing historian Barry Hugman.
