BIG FIGHTS: CONOR BENN-CHRIS EUBANK, DAVID BENAVIDEZ-DAVID MORRELL AND MORE NEWS

  • Summary

  • When big boxing news breaks, our boxing experts break it down. And there's plenty to talk about in this week's episode hosted by our experts, British boxing broadcaster and analyst Darren Rees and American boxing writer David Greisman.

    This weekend brings a huge fight in the United States between top light heavyweight contenders David Benavidez and David Morrell, with the winner well-positioned to challenge the winner of the upcoming Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch. And there's the big news from the United Kingdom, with Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. at last due to meet on April 26, with a very good undercard supporting them.

    We also talk the returns of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, Dalton Smith's easy win (with Ellie Scotney defending her titles on the undercard while Conah Walker upset Harry Scarff), Adam Azim's upcoming
    bout with Sergey Lipinets, the welterweight unification bout between Jaron "Boots" Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis, Claressa Shields fighting for the undisputed heavyweight championship, Diego Pacheco defeating Steven Nelson and what's next for him at super middleweight, Naoya Inoue's easy win and potential 2025 slate, and the returns of Michael Conlan and Savannah Marshall. All that, plus our Fighters of the Week.
