OUR STORY

Behind the Gloves: Who We Are

We are a team of sportswriters, analysts, and fight fans who believe combat sports and football deserve coverage that cuts through the hype. For over a decade we’ve been in the corners, at the press conferences, and behind the microphones. Our network of writers and insiders spans the globe. We bring you closer to the action than any other publication.

Our Mission

No Hype. No Spin. Just the Truth.

Sport journalism has become saturated with promotional narratives, sponsored content, and access-based reporting that prioritizes relationships over truth. We built Behind the Gloves to push back. Our mission is simple: deliver in-depth analysis, exclusive interviews, and unfiltered perspectives from inside the ropes and beyond.

We don’t toe the promotional line. When a fight disappoints, we say so. When a decision is controversial, we break it down. When a narrative doesn’t match reality, we challenge it. That integrity has earned us the trust of readers who are tired of being fed stories instead of substance. We cover boxing, MMA, football, and the wider world of sport with the same standard: honesty first.
