Our July issue of The Ring digital magazine is online and ready to read. You can click here to visit the table of contents.
This month’s cover story, “Seven-Year Itch” by Cliff Rold, follows the saga of the lightweight championship fight that we’ve wanted to see for years, almost got this year, but it just can’t seem to happen. Is it too late for Gervonta Davis vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko?
It’s unclear where Deontay Wilder goes after his brutal loss to Zhilei Zhang, but believe it or not, some are saying that “The Bronze Bomber” will someday be in the Hall of Fame. Others say he was lucky to get as far as he did on the allure of his punching power. Brin-Jonathan Butler conducts the autopsy on the heavyweight phenom’s career — or maybe just the moment before the next chapter — in “The Legacy of Deontay Wilder.”
In addition, Thomas Gerbasi provides a profile of the man who will try to prevent Terence Crawford from becoming a four-division titleholder, Israil Madimov. Michael Montero breaks down the card’s PPV-worthiness after it lost a flagship bout in Tim Tszyu vs. Vergil Ortiz. Ron Borges delves into the world of Team Combat League, a new take on boxing that hopes to appeal to an action-craving public with a fast-paced format that stokes city rivalries. Gerbasi also follows Erin Toughill’s career journey from combat warrior to next-gen guru. In the world of mythical matchups, Anson Wainwright sought out three celebrated matchmakers to see what they thought would’ve happened in 12 fights pitting Naoya Inoue against some of history’s greats. And, it’s the return of “Fischer’s FAQs”! Editor-in-Chief Doug Fischer goes back and forth with readers about … get your vomit bucket … the dawn of a five-belt era, as well as the sore-spot topic of Errol Spence in the pound-for-pound ratings.
We also have regular columns from legendary broadcaster Al Bernstein and former NYSAC Commissioner Randy Gordon, prospect spotlight, worldwide news and more. Check it all out here or click the cover below, and thanks for reading!
