This weekend’s biggest fight doesn’t involve heavyweights

By: Sean Crose

While some may be crucial, WBC and world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury at least stay busy. After pretty much knocking Dillian Whyte’s unconsciousness last spring, the towering British player made an awkward attempt to face fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in a match that was clearly going to be a match. Super fighting. However, negotiations fell through and since IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk wouldn’t be available until next year, Fury decided to take on Derek Chisora ​​before 2022 became celebrate. And, while it’s true that he’s beaten Chisora ​​twice and it doesn’t seem like Chisora ​​has a chance to change things this time around, it’s also true that Fury is one of the few martial artists. The top athlete in the sport has fought twice. this year – if any.

With all that said, there’s really no reason for Fury-Chisora ​​3 to shut down this weekend other than to keep Fury active and allow veteran Chisora ​​to have one more glory. . Chisora’s chances at this point are considered too slim. If the man somehow manages to get out of trouble this weekend in the UK, a lot of people, including this author, will have to eat some humble pie – because very few individuals apart from other gives Chisora ​​plenty of chances against Fury.

However, there is another trio going on this weekend, one that will take place on the other side of the world. For Juan Francisco Estrada will face Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez for the vacant WBC junior bantamweight title in Glendale, Arizona. This third battle between the two men will bring to an end a rivalry that has lasted for about a decade. Gonzalez won their first match in 2012, while Estrada was able to win – albeit somewhat controversially – their rematch last year. Suffice it to say, Tuesday’s game this weekend is a highly anticipated one.

Chocolatito is one of the most highly regarded boxers on the planet. Not only was he once considered by some to be the best boxer on earth, but he has returned from two crushing defeats over 5 years ago to once again prove that a boxer is supposed to be. was washed away can really come back in a great way. On the other hand, Estrada has had a stellar career of its own, beating not only Gonzalez but also luminaries like Carlos Cuadras and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.

Without a doubt, Gonzlez-Estrada 3 is the must-watch game of the week.
