DAZN PPV, 2:00 pm ET, Derek Chisora vs Deontay Wilder. From London, England. DAZN have been hyping the hell out of this one… It’s gotten to the place a fella can’t log in to watch 7-on-7 soccer or triathlons with out getting this PPV shoved in his face. Chisora had a late profession revival with an enormous, thrilling win over Joe Joyce a yr and a half in the past. Plain discuss: Wilder hasn’t seemed good in opposition to an actual opponent in half a decade. And he hasn’t seemed viable in opposition to 2nd or third tier heavyweights in years, both. His fights in opposition to Joe Parker and Zhilei Zhang confirmed he can’t get his dynamite proper hand off anymore, so the “puncher’s chance” doesn’t even appear to exist, both. If you’re dropping $50 American to see this one, I hope you’re an enormous Chisora fan. And I imply a BIG Chisora fan, as a result of the spotlight of the undercard is both Viddal Riley and Mateusz Masternak dealing with off for a European cruiserweight title, Denzel Bentley combating for an interim middleweight belt, or the professional debut of Brazilian Olympian Abner Teixeira.

Amazon Prime, 9:00 pm ET, Tim Tszyu vs Denis Nurja. From Wollongong, Australia.

He’ll face Nurja at middleweight, which is a main (no pun meant) house for him to get again to the highest in a division that desperately wants somebody along with his title worth and credibility. Assuming, in fact, that his punch resistance hasn’t been compromised by these current knockouts. Nurja is 20-0 (9 KO), however his resume is much less Tszyu’s “who’s who” of tremendous welterweights, and extra of a simply plain “Who?” listing of fellows who had been prepared to face him in his native Albania, so no actual indication of his ceiling or degree.
