Heavyweights Alexander Povetkin (28-1, 20 KOs) and Mike Perez (21-1, 13 KOs) collide in a WBC eliminator on May 22 at the Luzhniki Arena in Moscow, Russia. The winner will challenge for the WBC title.


guess we see wilder vs one of these guys later this year.
I like Mike Perez but dude hasn't been the same since he almost killed Magomed Abdusalamov. He looked lackluster against Bryant Jennings and Takam. And I don't even count his KO of an overmatched and out of shape Darnell Wilson as a sign that he has gotten his head back right.

Dude lost his killer instinct and Povetkin been looking pretty good lately...it might be ugly

Multiple sources have advised BoxingScene.com that a bout between two-division beltholder Tim Bradley (31-1-1, 12KOs) and WBA 'regular' 140-pound champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9KOs) is imminent for June 27th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, in a bout that will be televised by HBO.

Bradley, was last seen on December 6th getting held to a disputed 12-round draw versus Diego Chaves. During that fight he suffered severe swelling on the left side of his face after bumping heads with the Argentinian in the early rounds. Vargas, the reigning WBA super lightweight titlist defeated Antonio Demarco on the Manny Pacquiao-Chris Algieri undercard in Macoa on November 22nd.

Bradley-Vargas will be a welterweight contest.

Wouldnt be surprised if Vargas gets a controversial decision over Bradley...TR needs someone to fight Pacquiao in September if no Floyd rematch
