A Brief History of KO Magazine
Launched in 1980 by Stanley Weston’s publishing group—the same company behind The Ring and Boxing Illustrated—KO Magazine quickly became known for its flashy covers, bold layouts, and focus on the personalities behind the gloves. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, KO provided fans with in-depth coverage of the era’s biggest fights and fighters, from the rise of Mike Tyson to the middleweight wars that defined the decade. It remained a staple of boxing journalism until it ceased publication in the early 2000s.

KO was celebrated for its punchy editorial style, colorful photography, and eye-catching headlines. Each issue featured exclusive fighter interviews, training insights, and behind-the-scenes coverage of the fight world. Known for its bold rankings and fearless predictions, KO often sparked debate among fans with its hot takes and dramatic storytelling.
