Friday, July 7

Saturday, July 8

BT Sport/BoxNation (UK), 1:30 pm ET, Richard Baranyi vs Anthony Yarde, Bradley Skeete vs Dale Evans.

Channel 5 (UK), 5:00 pm ET, Josh Taylor vs Ohara Davies. Here’s a terrific prospect vs prospect matchup for the Commonwealth junior welterweight title. Taylor (9-0, 8 KO) and Davies (15-0, 12 KO) are both promising fighters, 26 and 25 years old, respectively, and are facing the most talented fighter either of them has taken on to date. When this fight was signed, I was surprised handlers for both guys were willing to risk it, but they are, and we get a good fight as a result. BLH will have live coverage.

Azteca (MEX), 11:00 pm ET, Moises Fuentes vs Ulises Lara.

Televisa (MEX), 11:00 pm ET, Mariana Juarez vs Terumi Nuki.
