After a pretty quiet weekend schedule for boxing fans (we should of course have seen the big fight on this past Saturday night, between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, but alas, we hope (and pray) for the new date of May 18 to come off) – we can now look forward to a solid schedule set for this coming weekend.
