Editorial Standards
How Boxing Wire reports, verifies, and publishes Professional Boxing news.
Our commitment
Boxing Wire exists to give Professional Boxing fans accurate, timely, and genuinely useful reporting. Every story is held to the same standard: verify before we publish, attribute clearly, and correct quickly when we get something wrong. The sections below describe the practices our staff follow.
Sourcing and verification
We prioritize first-hand and primary sources — official announcements, on-the-record statements, court and business filings, and our own reporting. When we build on reporting first published elsewhere, we say so and link to the original source so readers can judge it for themselves.
- We seek to confirm significant claims with more than one independent source before presenting them as fact.
- We do not present unverified information as confirmed. Where a detail is still developing, we label it as such.
- We name our sources whenever possible, and only grant anonymity when there is a clear public-interest reason and the source is in a position to know.
News, rumor, and opinion
We clearly distinguish between three kinds of content: news (verified, sourced reporting), rumor and speculation (labeled as unconfirmed, with the source of the report identified), and opinion and analysis (the views of a named writer). Our goal is that a reader never has to guess which one they are reading.
Use of artificial intelligence
Our news articles are written and edited by human staff. We use AI tools in a limited, disclosed way to help produce summary features — including our audio and video News Briefings — which are labeled as AI-assisted where they appear. AI is not used to fabricate quotes, sources, or events, and AI-assisted features are reviewed against our sourcing standards before they are published.
Independence and funding
Boxing Wire is funded primarily through advertising and affiliate partnerships. Commercial relationships never determine our editorial coverage, and sponsored or affiliate content is identified as such. You can read more about who operates this site on our Ownership & Funding page.
Corrections
When we make a mistake, we fix it and we say so. Our Corrections Policy explains how we handle errors and how you can flag one. The most reliable way to reach us about an accuracy concern is [email protected].
