Description

The WBC Heavyweight champion is back and we have fight cards to go over from Vegas to Detroit to all as part of the latest edition of the "Biig Fight Weekend Preview Podcast." Host TJ Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael from big fight weekend to go over it all. First, they take a look at Tyson Fury returning to the ring for the first time in 2023, but he will not be fighting a contending challenger. No, instead, it's a former UFC champion now making his boxing debut in Francis NgannouDan has Insight on the particulars on this fight and how legitimate is it for Fury to be messing around with this instead of finding Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed title challenge? Then, the guys get into the fight cards for this week, including undefeated lightweight prospect Frank Martin headlining on his rise towards a lightweight title shot in the Showtime/PBC card from Las Vegas. Martin has skill, lots of potential and it's definitely worth keeping an eye on whether he's impressive on Saturday night? Dan also has more on the undercard fights and why there had to be some adjustments for Saturday nights PBC show and in two weeks the undercard of Errol Spence and Terrell Crawford from Premier Boxing Champions on Pay-per-view?Then, the attention turns to the "Motor City" and the Matchroom boxing card featuring women's Undisputed 130 lb Champion Alycia Baumgardner defending her four titles against Christina Lindartou in a scheduled 10 round defense of her titles. Baumgardner is a very entertaining flashy boxer and will the veteran Lindartou give her much of a threat? The guys then go over some news, including the first press conferences for heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, who will square off in early August and then Usyk getting ready to defend his three heavyweight titles against Englishman Daniel Dubois in Poland later on in August, as those guys also met with the media this week.Finally, there is some nostalgia involving one of the great Hall of Fame fighters celebrating a birthday this week in Julio Cesar Chavez. The guys go over some of the amazing facts and stories of Chavez's reign as one of boxing's great champs.And Dan also reminisces about Arturo Gatti's final fight, 16 years ago, which was part of a rare "split card" in two locations both shown by HBO's boxing coverage. All of this is part of the "Big Fight Weekend Preview" podcast and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google, and Spotify!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/big-fight-weekend/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
