Jaron Ennis says that he is being ducked by those in the 147 division. Ennis, the IBF Welterweight Champion, will box Davis Avanesyan on July 13.

A fight with Terence Crawford never happened as Bud chased the Errol Spence Jr. rematch but then moved up to 154.

Alex Pereira’s latest masterpiece is even more brutal up close. Pereira continued to add to his fast-expanding war chest of accolades on Saturday when he knocked out Jiri Prochazka for the second time in the past seven months at UFC 303. While there may have been debate over a potentially early stoppage the first time around at UFC 295, that was certainly not the case in the rematch, as Pereira demolished Prochazka with a head kick and follow-up punches to successfully defend his UFC light heavyweight just 13 seconds into the second round.

Jon Jones is still considering whether to retire following his next fight. Jones is expected to defend his UFC Heavyweight Title against Stipe Miocic.

Deontay Wilder getting a crack at the WBC bridgerweight title against Lawrence Okolie has the perfect landing position if agreed. It’s no secret that Okolie vs. Wilder would be a mega-event in the UK, potentially selling out an arena. However, World Boxing News believes the fight would be ideal as part of Anthony Joshua’s clash with Daniel Dubois. Okolie, who campaigns under the BOXXER banner, may have the power to persuade Ben Shalom to speak with Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren about the matter.

An ideal date and venue for Wilder vs Okolie, but there’s a catch
