Sport is one of those things that you’ll have to go a long way to find somebody that has no interest in. Whether it’s football, cricket, rugby, swimming or athletics, most people will have some sort of interest in a sport, be it watching or taking part.
And because of this, there are countless numbers of sport blogs on the internet for you to keep up with your chosen sport on.
There are many quality sports blogs out there; general sites that cover a wide range of sports and sport-specific blogs that will focus on one individual sport and specialise in the ins and outs of the that sport.
We’ve compiled a list of the best sport blogs for you to check out and enjoy. We’ll cover a range of sports and also include a few general sport blogs too.
What’s our criteria? We’ll be including blogs that provide genuinely good content and expert insights to their specific sport. We’ll also take into account how easy the site is to use, design will play a small part too, but ultimately we’re looking for the best sport blogs, so we’ll be checking out the blog awards scene too.

Best Boxing Blogs 2021
Boxing has seen somewhat of a resurgence in the last few years, after being through what many writers labelled as boxing’s ‘dark ages’. Dominant, and often called boring, champions such as Wladimir Klitschko and Floyd Mayweather have stepped aside and boxing seems to be getting back to a place where the goal of fighters seems to winning titles rather soley than making money and picking opponents they know they can easily take care of.
With this increase in interest comes a need to for reliable and quality boxing information; here are some of the best boxing blogs to check out.

Boxing Scene
If you’ve ever visited r/boxing, the boxing subreddit, you’ll have most likely seen a Boxing Scene link there at some point (and if you’ve ever spent any time of Reddit, you’ll know that users are quite fussy with which links are shared). This shows that boxing fans not only like Boxing Scene’s content, but are happy to share the links around as a reliable source of information.
Boxing Scene isn’t the best designed site, in our opinion, it’s a bit square and basic, however the quality of the articles more than make up for the lack spice on the style front.

In my opinion, snooker is one of the most under-appreciated sports in the world when you consider the control and technique displayed by the tops players.
Many people can throw accurately or kick a ball hard, but striking a cue ball with the precision of a snooker player is something most would struggle with, nevermind doing it wearing a bow tie… Anyway, here are a few of the best snooker blogs on the internet.

Not only does the Snooker HQ blog provide the latest news, but also showcases different features such as recommended books about snooker or written by players, a look into youth tournaments and, as mentioned, quizzes to keep you entertained.
