Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast

We have reached THE weekend for the first undisputed four belt heavyweight title fight in history as unified champ Oleksandr Usyk battles WBC champ Tyson Fury in a PPV 12 round showdown in Saudi Arabia. And, we'll preview that fight, the undercard and more on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast"
Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWekend.com to go over everything happening. They spend tons of time on the Fury-Usyk build up in the MIddle Eastern desert, as the winner will win the most significant heavyweight title bout in arguably 25 years. The brash, unbeaten Englishman looks in great shape and will that help him? The Ukranian Usyk meanwhile is a technical fighting wizard and looks to do to Fury what he did twice to former champ Anthony Joshua.
They also discuss the co-feature of the crusierweight world title bout for the vacant IBF belt as Jai Opetaia and Mairis Breidis rematch from a tremendous battle won by Opetaia in 2022. Will history repeat fo rthe Kiwi or will the former crusierweight champ Breidis get revenge? Dan also has thoughts on the rest of the Saudi "Ring of Fire" card.
Next, it's discussion of Mexican KO star Emanuel Navarrete moving up to fight for the vacant WBO lightweight title against unbeaten, veteran Denys Berinchyk in the Top Rank Boxing/ESPN main event Saturday night from San Diego, CA. Will Navarrete get another world title in another division ro will Berinchyk pull the upset? They give some insight and thoughts on the bout.
There is fight news on Canelo Alvarez having an IBF 168 lb. mandatory that no one knows anything about. Will Devin Haney look to have the New York commission turn his Ryan Garcia loss into a DQ win, after Garcia's positive drug tests and other actions? And, what's the latest with Conor Benn's ongoing suspension saga with British authorities for his positive test in 2022?
Finally, some excellent 20th anniversary nostalgia on Antonio Tarver's one punch KO of Roy Jones in 2004. A fight that basically spelled the beginning of the end of the almost untouchable Jones from then on, in his hall of fame career.
And, the guys further reminisce on Lennox Lewis and Evander Holfield rematching 25 years ago for all the heavyweight titles, as Fury and Usyk are about to do.
