Paschal Collins revisited the most memorable of upsets in the heavyweight division as he prepares to guide Alen Babic against Johnny Fisher. Babic, 33 and from Croatia, is the underdog on Saturday evening against the popular Fisher at London’s Copper Box Arena, and largely because the bigger Fisher is perceived to be the more destructive fighter with the heavier hands.

Next week, one of boxing’s fastest rising stars, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, will return home to defend his IBF Welterweight Championship against David Avanesyan. While Avanesyan is a heavy underdog, he is hitting his stride after winning seven of his last eight fights by stoppage. However, his lone loss came at the hands of former undisputed welterweight champion, Terence Crawford. Since their showdown, Crawford has beaten Errol Spence Jr. and moved up to the super welterweight division.

Shane Mosley predicts a punishing fight for Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in his potential unification clash against IBF lightweight champion Vasily Lomachenko later this year. The former three-division world champion Mosley says Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) will get hit a lot by Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs), and it won’t be as easy for him to land his big counter shots as it is against his past opposition.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

Kazuto Ioka might be a future hall-of-famer but why are so few talking about him? One reason might be that his fights, at least for American audiences, are hard to find. Another is that his Japanese countryman, Naoya Inoue, has stolen all the headlines thanks to his spectacular style. Case...

If ever there was a time to deliver a statement performance for Shakur Stevenson, now is as good as any. The hot lightweight commodity could be going into free agency as a bright, in-form star, or someone who aesthetically flatters to deceive – while still being wholly brilliant – depending on what happens in front of around 10,000 of his hometown fans at Newark’s Prudential Center against Artem Harutyunyan.

Jake Paul reportedly has a former boxing world champion lined up as a replacement for Mike Tyson if the 58-year-old can’t make the rearranged fight date in November. When it was announced that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson would, finally, be squaring off inside the boxing ring, plenty of fans and pundits were quick to criticize the fight.
