It looks like there’ll be at least one quality heavyweight fight on July 24th, as Mike Coppinger reports that undefeated prospects Frank Sanchez and Efe Ajagba “have agreed to a deal” to meet on the Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 pay-per-view.
Cuba’s Sanchez (18-0, 13 KO) will definitely be taking the bigger step up in competition between the two, having beaten the likes of Joey Dawejko, Brian Howard, and most recently Nagy Aguilera since 2019. He looks solid, but he’s definitely due for the sort of test Ajagba (15-0, 12 KO) figures to offer.

The third installment between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury has officially been transformed into a night of heavyweight boxing.
With both Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and Top Rank hosting the card, they have decided to put their talent in the ring against one another. According to their contractual agreement, both sides have the right to put one fight on the undercard as well as a joint bout. For Top Rank, they have decided to showcase the talent of rising heavyweight prospect Jared Anderson (9-0, 9 KOs). The undefeated Toledo, Ohio native will open the pay-per-view card against an opponent yet to be named.

Canelo: The journey continues

BOXING is going through a difficult time. Fights between elite fighters are few and far between. Bogus “world championship” belts have devalued the sport. Contests involving social media influencers and exhibitions by long-past-their-prime former champions often get more media attention and fan support than legitimate fights. The negotiations to make Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua (or fail to make it) have been an exercise in frustration. In the midst of all this, Canelo Alvarez gives boxing fans something to hold onto.
