Australian heavyweight Justis Huni is to fight Troy Pilcher on July 25 at Fortitude Music Hall in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Eighteen months will have passed since he last fought in his home country, and the 25-year-old will do at a time when Australian boxing is on a relative high, largely as a consequence of the success of Jai Opetaia at cruiserweight, and Liam Paro winning the IBF junior welterweight title from Subriel Matias and being on course to make the first defence of his title in Australia later in 2024.

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

Is Shakur Stevenson Hinting At his Plans for Artem Harutyunyan?. As the last days before his July 6 prizefight against Artem Harutyunyan dwindle away, WBC lightweight champion “Fearless” Shakur Stevenson (21-0, 10 KO’s) finds himself still taking flak from boxing fans. This antagonism stems from what many believe was a lackluster outing versus Edwin De Los Santos. In that duel, the common perception was that Stevenson did far too much excessive running than actual fighting.
