Fortunes have frowned on boxing in recent years, and we aren’t even sure if it’s going to be back in LA in 2028. To me, I always loved watching CNBC at 5 pm ET and listening to Teddy Atlas break down the fights. Once they stopped featuring him, I lost interest. I would love to see boxing regain a place of prominence in the Games. At the moment, though, it’s in limbo, and that’s a real shame.
