Jaideep R. Unnithan is a Senior Boxing Writer at EssentiallySports and one of the division’s most trusted voices. Since joining in October 2022, he’s brought a deep love for the sport into every story—whether reporting on a live bout with the ES LiveEvent Desk or unpacking the legacy of a fighter from another era as part of the features desk. Trained under EssentiallySports’ Journalistic Excellence Program, Jaideep’s writing reflects a quiet authority shaped by two years of covering boxing’s flashpoints and fault lines. He’s drawn to the warrior code of boxers like Alexis Argüello and Marvin Hagler, yet remains just as attuned to the promise of rising names like Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez, David Benavidez, and (yes, still young in his eyes) Dmitry Bivol. He’s especially fascinated by Naoya Inoue’s old-school grit. Beyond the page, Jaideep reads widely—a habit that sharpens his sense of storytelling, whether he's tracing the rhythm of a classic fight or writing his next ringside dispatch.
