Both the rescheduled WBO middleweight clash between Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders and the massive WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight clash between Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury, are set to have their new dates revealed very shortly.

The Lee/Saunders fight has been beset with bad luck, suffering two separate postponements – firstly due to a virus suffered by Lee, and then a cut sustained by Saunders in sparring that prompted date and venue shifts from Ireland to England/September to October, and a new date is finally set to be announced on Monday after Saunders was given the all-clear by medics.

Both fighters are well acquainted with each other being Brooklyn natives in the same division, and their long-time friendly association will go out of the window for one-night only in front of their hometown fans in a fight for Brooklyn bragging rights.

Saturday night in Ohio, local former 3 weight world champion Adrien Broner goes into battle for a world title opportunity he arguably doesn’t deserve against relatively inactive Russian, Khabib Allakhverdiev.

After June’s loss to Ohioan rival Shawn Porter, Broner saw his stock decline sharply once again, and after a series of ill-thought out social media posts, has taken a vow of silence as he prepares for his shot at the vacant WBA (sup) 140 lb title.
