Listen Later

It's a post Thanksgiving edition of the show, as host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael return to go over the one prominent fight of the weekend and hear from a muti-division world champ and more on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."

First, the guys talk Saturday’s Matchroom Boxing/DAZN card in Birmingham, England as former world champ Sunny Edwards battles. Galal Yafai, for vacant WBC interim flyweight title. These two have history as amateurs that make this bout more intriguing.

Next, hear Dan with Emanuel Navarrete as he defends the WBO junior lightweight title in a mandatory rematch with interim titlist Oscar Valdez in the Top Rank/ESPN main event Dec. 7 in Phoenix. The hard hitting Navarrete has had some struggles of late, but he does own a win over Valdez. 

Then, there's plenty of news as Dan broke the story of the probable lineup for the Feb. 22 "Riyadh Season" card: Heavyweight Daniel Dubois meets Joseph Parker, for Dubois’ IBF title and also, 
light heavyweights Artur Beterbiev will battle Dmitry Bivol in a rematch for Beterbiev’s undisputed title.

Dan has also learned that junior middleweight Vergil Ortiz Jr. will likely fight Jaron “Boots” Ennis, for Ortiz’s WBC interim title in what would be a compelling bout between the two unbeatens. And, middleweight Carlos Adames likely takes on top contender  Hamzah Sheeraz, for Adames’ WBC title.

Plus, Dan is hearing of a possible Shakur Stevenson against top prospect/contender Floyd Schfield world lightweight title boutbeing added to card. 

The guys discuss Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions taking the rare step to address speculation and rumor that there were stipulations in the Mike Tyson bout like there would be no knockdowns, etc. 

We have more on Teofimo Lopez announcing on social media that Eddy Reynoso will now train him along with his dad.  

Dan is also reporting that Edgar Berlanga is slated to headline on a Matchroom/DAZN card March 8 in Puerto Rico, his first time fighting there and his first fight since the loss challenging super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in September.  

Finally, some Nostalgia as on.November 26, 1982 -- 42 years ago on Tuesday – Larry Holmes brutally dominated Randall “Tex” Cobb In Houston to retain the WBC heavyweight title live on ABC in such a one-sided destruction that legendary figure Howard Cosell quit boxing commentating.  

And also, on November 27th  2004 – 20 years ago on Wednesday – Mexican legends Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales met in very close fight, as Barrera won the WBC junior lightweight title in the EPIC third fight of their legendary trilogy. Barrera goes 2-1 in the series and Big Dan was ringside at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
