Fights to watch out for

David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde (WBC light heavyweight title)

David Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) has been on a dominant run since first winning the WBC super-middleweight title in 2017, later reclaiming the interim belt and defeating names like David Lemieux, Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade before moving up to light heavyweight.

He outpointed Oleksandr Gvozdyk in 2023, then beat David Morrell despite a late knockdown and was upgraded to full WBC champion this year.

His first defence comes against Anthony Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs), who enters his third world-title bid after brave but unsuccessful challenges against Sergey Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev, followed by four rebound victories.

Brian Norman Jr. vs Devin Haney (WBO welterweight title)

Devin Haney (32-0, 15 KOs) steps up to welterweight in a bid to claim the WBO title from heavy-hitter Brian Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs).

Haney previously dominated at lightweight, beating Jorge Linares, George Kambosos Jr. twice, and Vasyl Lomachenko, before capturing the WBC super-lightweight crown with a standout win over Regis Prograis.
