Heavyweight prospects Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman will do battle in a fascinating British title bout at the O2 Arena on Saturday night. Both boxers are unbeaten and this promises to be an intriguing clash of styles, with the power of Dubois pitched against the technical ability of Gorman.
Tyson Fury will be aiming to emulate Deontay Wilder and not Anthony Joshua when he makes his return to the ring against Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on Saturday. The ‘Gypsy King’ has not fought since his epic battle with Wilder in Los Angeles last December.
Josh Warrington takes on Yorkshire rival Kid Galahad in the second defence of his IBF world featherweight title and is 33/50 to retain his belt on points. Warrington has proved he is one of the best featherweights in the world with point-victories over Lee Selby and two-weight world champion Carl Frampton in his last two fights.
Anthony Joshua will be looking to make a big impression on his US debut when facing Andy Ruiz at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Londoner will defend his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles against Mexican-American Ruiz, a late stand-in after Jarrell Miller’s failed drugs test.
Deontay Wilder will be looking to send a message out to Anthony Joshua when defending his WBC heavyweight title against Dominic Breazeale. Joshua retained his IBF belt by stopping Breazeale in the seventh round three years ago and we reckon Wilder will want to finish off the Californian sooner.
Saul Canelo Alvarez is the box office star of this weekend’s middleweight unification bout with Daniel Jacobs and that can help him land a points victory. The Mexican, who boasts a massive following, puts his WBA and WBC belts on the line, while American Jacobs is the current IBF champion.
Amir Khan looks to have bitten off more than he can chew by challenging WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in New York this weekend. The big-punching American will enter the ring with a perfect 34-0 record in the paid ranks and has secured 25 of those victories inside the distance.
Chris Eubank Jnr has the energy, hunger and desire to outwork James DeGale in Saturday night’s grudge fight at London’s O2 Arena. At 29, the Brighton boxer is four years younger than his opponent and has significantly fewer miles on the clock from a well-managed career.
Adrien Broner is nicknamed ‘The Problem’ and is rated a value bet to prove just that for Manny Pacquiao when they meet in Las Vegas for the WBA welterweight title. The American held this belt for six months back in 2013 and has every chance of getting it back if fully focused on the task in hand.
Carl Frampton looks a worthy favourite to prise the IBF featherweight title away from Josh Warrington at Manchester Arena on Saturday night. The 31-year-old Belfast fighter may be the challenger, but he has mixed in much better company than the champion, who is three years his junior.
Tony Bellew is no stranger to upsetting the odds but we fear he may have bitten off more than he can chew by taking on undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian southpaw is widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
George Groves is fancied to prove a level above fellow Englishman Callum Smith in Friday’s World Boxing Super Series final in Saudi Arabia. The Londoner suffered a shoulder injury when beating Chris Eubank Jr in his super-middleweight semi but has had plenty of time to recover.
Anthony Joshua is expected to maintain his unbeaten record against Alexander Povetkin at Wembley on Saturday and can become the first fighter to stop his Russian opponent. AJ was taken the distance by Joseph Parker in Cardiff at the end of March but can get back on the knockout trail in London.
Gennady Golovkin will face Saul Alvarez in an eagerly-awaited rematch this weekend and we’re backing the Kazakhstan fighter to come out on top in our Canelo vs GGG 2 predictions. Most pundits had Golovkin in front on their scorecards when the first encounter ended in a controversial draw 12 months ago.
