WBO light heavyweight champion and future Hall of Famer Sergey Kovalev will face off against his hard-hitting mandatory challenger, Anthony Yarde, in a highly anticipated showdown Saturday, Aug. 24 from Traktor Arena in Kovalev’s hometown of Chelyabinsk, Russia.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is hoping the rematch between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. in Saudi Arabia -- dubbed the "Clash of the Dunes" -- could do the same and "change boxing forever."
The fight is due to be held in Diriyah, on the outskirts of Riyadh, on December 7.
Saudi Arabia has hosted a number of fights in recent times, including Amir Khan's win over Billy Dib, but Amnesty International UK has urged Joshua to "inform himself of the human rights situation" in the Middle East country ahead of the rematch.

The mansion is believed to be in California, where Ruiz Jr has lived for most of his life. There is a tree house ‘for the kids to enjoy’ as Ruiz Jr notes in the video and and a huge pool outside to rest and recuperate in.

A fountain sits on the middle of a huge garden area and while the inside of the house seems somewhat dated, the champion notes it won’t be for long.

It seems Ruiz Jr and Joshua are going back and forth over where the rematch should take place at the moment, but they are almost certainly going to get it on in November regardless.

Ruiz Jr is legally obliged to, but it seems like he might be set up for life anyway. Buying such a house clearly means a lot to the 29-year-old.

Prior to the AJ fight, the most Ruiz had made from a single fight was $700,000. That was from his loss to Joseph Parker.

“I find it real ironic how every time Manny Pacquiao’s name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it,” Floyd Mayweather posted. “This man’s entire legacy and career has been built off its association with my name and it’s about time you all stop using my brand for clout chasing and clickbait and let that man’s name hold weight of its own. For years, all you heard was that ‘Floyd is afraid of Manny Pacquiao’.

One judge scored the welterweight bout 114-113 to Thurman (29-1), who was knocked down by Pacquiao in the opening round on Saturday.

Thurman – who was the WBA Super holder – had vowed to send Pacquiao into retirement but the latter showed he still has plenty left in the tank.

Pacquiao retained his WBA Regular welterweight crown with a unanimous-decision victory over Adrien Broner in January and he stormed out of the blocks at the iconic American venue.

After being sent to the canvas in the first round, Thurman recovered well as he soaked up Pacquiao's punches, but he was unable to snap his opponent's dominance.

The aggressor as he trailed on points, Thurman took the fight to Pacquiao in the middle rounds, however, he was hurt with a big body shot in the 10th and he was unable to preserve his unbeaten status.

And according to the Filipino's trainer Freddie Roach, Pacquiao will call on Mayweather to agree to a rematch four years after their first, anti-climactic meeting.

He told ESPN: "Manny Pacquiao is going to win by knockout in nine rounds and then he's going to ask Mayweather for a rematch.

"With a healthy Manny Pacquiao, no injuries, the story will be different, so let's see if Floyd decides to come back when he sees Manny."
