22:10 undercard

Join us as we go live to break down the wildest week in boxing and look ahead to what’s coming next. Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury II headlines our preview, a heavyweight clash to cap off 2024, though this time it’s not for the undisputed title, but the bragging rights of being the best modern heavyweight. We’ll also cover the fallout from Sam Goodman’s injury pulling him out of his fight with Naoya Inoue and Dennis McCann’s unexpected drug test result.

And speaking of upsets, the shocking moment of 2024? Bruno Surace knocking out Jaime Munguia in Tijuana—an ending nobody saw coming. We’ll dive deep into Munguia’s disastrous year, from his loss to Canelo Alvarez in May to this shocking defeat that flipped the script on his career.

Plus:

Alan Picasso’s latest win and his potential shot at Naoya Inoue.

A draw between Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel that left more questions than answers about the future of Golden Boy’s welterweight division.
And don’t forget the undercard madness: Charles Conwell’s dominant knockout, Victor Morales Jr.’s gritty return, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev’s statement win that positions him back in the mix for a Naoya Inoue showdown.

Plus brief recaps of ProBox TV, Big Time Boxing USA, Most Valuable Prospects 10, 360 Promotions card and the Boxxer show Natasha Jonas/Lauren Price
