Host Max Kellerman and analyst LeSean McCoy will not be returning as part of the show\u2019s reshaping<\/a>, Front Office Sports reported. <\/p>\n Boxing insider Mike Coppinger announced Monday<\/a> that he would return to the show, and that it will stream twice a week on DAZN Boxing and Ring Magazine\u2019s YouTube pages. Total Boxing reported last week<\/a> that Turki Alalshikh has agreed to sell a controlling piece of Ring Magazine to DAZN.<\/p>\n Coppinger and a rotating panel of analysts will join Lopez on the show. The second season of \u201cInside the Ring\u201d will premiere Thursday.<\/p>\n Lopez has a background in boxing, having trained for several years at Freddie Roach\u2019s Wild Card Boxing Club near Los Angeles, often sharing clips of his progress on social media. He has also been a longtime host of \u201cThe 3 Knockdown Rule\u201d podcast with Ring Magazine\u2019s Steve Kim, and served as a guest color commentator on several boxing events.<\/p>\n Lopez hosted \u201cExtra\u201d from 2007-19 and starred as A.C. Slater in \u201cSaved By the Bell,\u201d most recently in its 2020 reboot.<\/p>\n Kellerman will remain in his role calling matches for Zuffa Boxing, a collaboration between the Saudi Public Investment Fund and TKO. Kellerman, who replaced Skip Bayless on \u201cFirst Take\u201d in 2016, was laid off by ESPN in 2023. <\/p>\n His first broadcasting appearance after his departure from the network was in September 2025, where he provided commentary on the Canelo \u00c1lvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight broadcast on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DAZN\u2019s \u201cInside the Ring\u201d is getting a new host.
