01/24/2023
This weekend, in London, England, at Wembley Arena, live on BT Sport (UK) and ESPN (USA), Light-Heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev will battle hard-hitting mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde.
In England, the Cruiserweight division is getting quite interesting, with world titlest Lawrence Okolie at the forefront of the names of note.
Early last year, news broke that undefeated Autralian fighter Tim Tszyu, the son of the legendary Kostya Tszyu, would be challenging world champion Jermall Charlo for all the gold at 154 pounds.
According to BoxingScene.com's Jake Donovan, it has been confirmed that unbeaten Jr. Middleweight contender Tim Tszyu will face former champion Tony Harrison on March 11 in Australia (March 12 locally). While the venue is to be determined, it will air live on Showtime here in the States.
We had a bit of action on both Friday and Saturday.
In the biggest upset of the year thus far, former Jr. Middleweight titlist Liam Smith stopped Middleweight contender Chris Eubank, Jr. inside of only four rounds at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Immediately after his fourth round stoppage win over Krzysztof Glowacki on Saturday in Manchester, England, Richard Riakporhe was eager to state his desire to go after the big names at Cruiserweight, including fellow unbeaten Brit Lawrence Okolie.
On Saturday at the AO Arena in Manchester, England, Liam Smith put forth an early candidate for Upset of the Year, stopping Chris Eubank, Jr. in four frames.
