We're back with another busy weekend of main event fight cards on two continents, we have some fight news and some heavyweight nostalgia too on the latest "The Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"

Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael return with insight and takes on it all.

First, they preview the Saturday Matchroom Boxing DAZN card at Sheffield, England

Dalton Smith returns vs. Mathieu Germain in a 12 rounds junior welterweight battle. Is Smith ready to take big steps. Plus, wasn't Josh Warrington retired??? Apparently not, as he'll meet someone named  Asad Asif Khan in the  junior lightweight co-feature.
 
Next, we look at the Saturday from Golden Boy / DAZN at Oceanside, Calif., where

Gabriela Fundora is already back to meet Marilyn Badillo for Fundora’s undisputed women’s flyweight title. The exciting sister of Sebastian Fundora can really punch, as well. Also, unbeaten Charles Conwell is in the junior middleweight co-feature.
 
And, we also preview Sunday Boxxer card on Sjy Sports in UK and TrillerTV+ in US in Birmingham, England

Cocky Ben Whittaker rematches Liam Cameron in a light heavyweight bout. We discuss whether Whittaker's act is a little too much for his lack of accomplishment.
 
Then, some news
Dan is reporting that Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is working to get a deal done for WBC junior bantamweight titlist Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and WBO titlist Phumelele Cafu to meet to unify their belts in the main event of a DAZN card eyed for July 19 in Dallas. He gives us all the info.

Plus, it looks like Heavyweights Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic, the two highest-ranked available contenders in the IBF ratings, are ready to fight.

Also, Eddie Hearn said after Boots-Stanionis bout last weekend that he is talking to Top Rank/Bob Arum about Ennis-Brian Norman for later this Summer.

Hamzah Sheeraz, who is moving up to super middleweight after his disappointing draw challenging WBC middleweight titlist Carlos Adames in February, announced he will do so with a new trainer in Andy Lee.

And, Top Rank made Keyshawn Davis WBO lightweight defense vs. Edwin De Los Santos official on Thursday. It will be June 7the at the Scope in Norfolk, Virginia.
Also announced co-feature: lightweight prospect Abdullah Mason stepping up in class against Jeremia Nakathila.  

Nostalgia
April 19, 1991 – 34 years ago on Saturday -- Evander Holyfield decisioned George Foreman to retain the undisputed heavyweight title. This was a HUGE fight in more ways than one. The guys go over it all.
