Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast

We are ready for the weekend, as junior welterweight unification title fight in Vegas tops the show and a welterweight world champ joins us, too. It's all part of the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast"
Host T.J. Rives is back from his travel chaos this weekend and is joined, as always, by insider Dan Rafael to go over everything.
They start with:

Saturday night's "PBC on Prime Video" at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas
Seabstian Fundora vs. Chordale Booker, for Fundora’s WBC/WBO junior middleweight titles. Fundora returns after a 12 month layoff after upsetting Tim Tszyu in a gory, split decision.

The guys also talk the two other bouts on the show- Jesus Ramos Jr. vs. Guido Emmanuel Schramm, 10 rounds, junior middleweights and also, Elijah Garcia vs. Terrell Gausha, 10 rounds, middleweights.

Saturday Matchroom DAZN card early morning Saturday from Sydney, Australia as George Kambosos Jr. returns vs. Jake Wyllie, 12 rounds, junior welterweights.
Then, it's our BRIAN NORMAN JR. INTERVIEW with Dan.
He makes his first WBO welterweight title defense Derrieck Cuevas on March 29 as the Mayer-Ryan 2 co-feature on the Top Rank Boxing card in Las Vegas. Norman is off a long layoff

News
Dan has the latest on the Tank Davis-Lamont Roach rematch that appears to be on the fast track.
Next, the IOC executive board takes pivotal vote to include boxing in the 2028 LA Olympics after there was a lot of doubt. It still has to pass a vote of full IOC but that is a formality once the board recommends.
Also, Turki Alishikh announces the full Canelo Alvarez-William Scull undercard for May 3.
Dan is also reporting that WBO junior lightweight titlist Emanuel Navarrete will defend vs. Charly Suarez on a Top Rank Boxing on ESPN world title doubleheader on May 10 in the main event in San Diego. (Raymond Muratalla-Zaur Abdullaev co-feature for vacant IBF interim lightweight title will also be on the card).
We give our good wishes for Iran Barley, 64, who won world titles at middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight, and twice defeated legend Thomas Hearns in title bouts. Iran suffered a minor stroke last week in New York and is recovering.
And, Nostalgia
March 17, 1990 – 35 years ago on Monday – Julio Cesar Chavez TKO12 over MeldrickTaylor. Two words- "Two seconds." It remains one of the most dramatic, controversial stoppages in the history of the sport.
And, March 19, 2005 – 20 years ago Wednesday – Erik Morales W12 Manny Pacquiao in a supreme fight, the first of their trilogy. We reminisce.
