WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) wants to quickly take advantage of his position as the secondary champion by facing Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, or Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight after making his first successful defense against Jonathan Guidry (17-1-2, 10 KOs) last Saturday night.
After sharing 12 rounds in the ring with the almost completely unknown Jonathan Guidry, we still have no idea how good, or how bad, Trevor Bryan really is.
Proving that you can go home again, Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King returned to his native Buckeye state on Saturday night to host an outstanding slate of championship boxing at the sold-out W.D.
WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs) used his power advantage to pound out a 12 round split decision over mandatory challenger Thabiso Mchunu (23-6, 13 KOs) on Saturday night in their long-awaited rematch at the W.D.Packard
This Saturday night in Warren, Ohio, we may or may not get a good night of cruiserweight and heavyweight boxing. Legendary, love him or loathe him promoter Don King, in his “homecoming” show (maybe King’s very last show, who knows?)
Don King’s latest (and who knows, maybe his last) card is a go for January 29th in Warren, Ohio – topped by the WBC cruiserweight title fight between champ Ilunga Makabu and challenger and former stoppage victim Thabiso Mchunu.
“Unk…..unk…. There’s no name on it!” So yelled ‘Tuco’ in the final, grave-digging scene in the classic 1966 western to beat all westerns, ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”
Although it shocked quite a few people when it was announced how Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez is looking at going up to cruiserweight in search of a historic fifth world title in as many weight divisions, there is now talk that Canelo could even go all the way to heavyweight!
According to a news article from The Mirror, Daniel Dubois will face Trevor Bryan on August 29th. The story says the heavyweight fight, that will see both Dubois and Bryan defend their version of the WBA heavyweight title (there are, as fans know, too many versions to be able to keep track of), will take place on the under-card of the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley fight.
Well, the show did go on. After one strange week, with fights that had been announced for Don King’s first card in such a long time being scrapped at the last minute, plenty of people were wondering if there would be any boxing taking place in Hollywood, Florida.
