Breaking news:

Shakur Stevenson will come out of retirement and is expected to fight on July 6. His retirement is short-lived as expected.

Hope that he could perform well this coming July and prove to the fans that his last fight was just an off night.

Gonna be interesting on who is he fighting next. I was under the impression that he might come out of the retirement and fight the winner of Loma vs Kambosos. However, as far as I know he no longer with Top Rank and has turn down their contract.

Or probably this is just a get busy fight for Shakur, and will still fight the winner of Loma vs Kambosos. Hopefully, it will be Loma, as the styles of this two are contrasting and we will see if Shakur's defense can hold up against the technical prowess sof Loma. But then again, Loma is could be old and his age might shows against George Kambosos.

encountered this news just today. its yet not fixed but it  seem to be finalizing.  Zhang fought 2 weeks ago with Parker and lost as undercard on AJ vs Francis Chaos but here they are planing to fight 3 months from now.

Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang are in the process of finalizing a deal for a June 1 fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, sources told @mikecoppinger.

The bout will take place on the undercard of the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undisputed light heavyweight championship bout.

both lost against Parker by decision. i think anyone who wins this fight will get a rematch against Parker

What do you think guys? It seems that Turki Alalshikh has a beautiful plan. Forget Canelo for now, it will be David Benavidez to fight the winner of Bivol and Beterbiev and it will be held on Saudi or course.

We have speculated though that him moving at 175 lbs, sooner or later will have to face the winner of that great fight.

Beautiful plan of Turki Alalshikh indeed and Benavidez is like winning the lottery without having to go through Canelo. The good thing about this Alalshikh is that he is very willing to shell out large amounts of money just to bring the best fights that fans wanted to see.

But this fight is going to be risky for Benavidez as either Bivol or Beterbiev is a monster at 175 so he must have a tune-up bout to acquaint himself to this division before facing the champion.

Yes, they have deep pockets, and we have seen the Saudis really sponsoring big fights since 2019 if I'm not mistaken. And with their billions, recently, they are the hub for big fans, except for some boxers that they don't like. And Eddie Hearn and other promoters are really into it, except Oscar Dela Hoya.

But this fight is going to be risky for Benavidez as either Bivol or Beterbiev is a monster at 175 so he must have a tune-up bout to acquaint himself to this division before facing the champion.

He had sparred with Bivol before, if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about Beterbiev. He will have a fight with Gvozdyk in June. But I  guess it might be scrapped as well as he will be waiting for the result of Beterbiev vs Bivol and they might go this June.

That's the advantage of the Saudi, they have a lot of money, and he is also really a big fan of boxing and knows that fight make sense and what fight is just for pure hype. And I like what David Benavidez did here, he engage Saudi's big boss through social media and so he has to respond to it. And the good thing is that he is all on-board with Benavidez and not Canelo. I think he see Canelo as somewhat arrogant boxer (this is just my speculation), just by interpreting his response. Nevertheless it's a great fight, no question about it. Benavidez vs Bivol, or Benavidez vs Beterbiev. A potential to be fight of the year.

Canelo, in an interview said that it would take 150-200 million usd for him to have a fight with Benavidez, that alone for me is a sign of arrogance and an act cowardness, no offense to Canelo fans but that is how some of us saw that one. Good thing that Saudi's big boss is not offerring the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev to Canelo.

Yes, lately I will also say that Canelo is really being arrogant, or getting into someone's nerve with that ridiculous money that he wanted. He is even bending some rules as well like not fighting his mandatory and boxing organizations just say yes to his demand.

It will be his big loss if the Saudi big boss will ignore Canelo because of his attitude. What the Saudi want is the Benavidez fight the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev obviously in Saudi.

There is no one to blame but the organizations themselves. They let Canelo do everything he can without any repercussions, allowed him to choose his opponents and then not forcing mandatories for him.

Now Canelo has to pay the price literally as he is being sidestep by the Saudis and not even invited to any event on the Middle East. While Benavidez and Beterbiev and Bivol are getting special treatment for His Excellency Alalshikh, being the biggest broker in boxing right now.

Good news for Philippine boxing, after a long drought, finally we have a championship belt courtesy of Melvin Jerusalem after he defeated Yudai Shigeoka for the WBO version of the minimum weight title. Hope this is beginning of the bright future of Philippine boxing and more championship belts to come.

Melvin Jerusalem (22-3, 12 KOs) squeezed out a hard fought split decision win on away soil to relieve Yudai Shigeoka (8-1, 5 KOs) WBC minimumweight world title.

Jerusalem becomes a two-time world champion. Japan has become a happy hunting ground for the Filipino, having knocked out Masataka Taniguchi last May in Osaka for the WBO 105 pound belt.

One judge scored in favour of Shigeoka with just a point in it at 114-113. The other two judges had it identical at 114-112 for Jerusalem to give the away fighter the split decision victory.

Is Melvin the only Filipino champion right now?  I think so. but I have been hearing his name for quite some time now and I don't know if he has lost the belt or regain it back from the Japanese boxer. So base on the score, it was really a very close fight, and one Japanese judge obviously favors Shigeoka. But it's good that for the PH, they still have a champion as we all know that some of their legends have retired and we haven't heard from Casimero as he is supposedly the big PH boxer.

I think so, he is the only reigning Filipino champion.

Casimero might be working for another fight as he is quiet lately.

As for the Fundora vs Tsyzu fight, it was reported that Fundora was ordered by the WBO to defend his belt against Crawford and start the negotiation. So I guess we won't see the rematch against Tim. Or Tim will have to wait and he will have the first crack as who will win on that fight.

Right now, Melvin Jerusalem is the lone Filipino boxer with a belt. He once hold the the WBO version of the minimum weight category but lost to Oscar Collazo by knockout last year. He is now holding the WBC belt and planning to unified the WBO and WBC by fighting the dangerous Collazo once again but i doubt he could defeat Collazo because the latter is so technical and heavy handed. If i were his manager i would rather let him fight in a mandatory first before fighting for a unified title fight.
