Now, there’s a call for consistency, hence the need to step up and support the judges who declared Tony Harrison the winner over Jermell Charlo through a unanimous decision last weekend, securing a world title in junior middleweight. Many will find fault with the critics’ perspective.
The style employed by fighters in achieving this victory is inconsequential; what matters is their ability to advance, retreat, and maneuver tactically.

Humans are naturally drawn to symbols of power and might. Competitions like bodybuilding hold significant meaning. The battleground isn’t confined to a boxing ring or a realm of absolute truth. Any fighter who steps into the ring is well aware of the inherent risks involved in the sport.
