It's a very interesting weekend of fights and one of the great fighters of the 40 years is a guest with our Dan Rafael as part of the latest "Big Fight Weekend Preview."

The guys begin with the preview of Friday night’s Top Rank/ESPN+ card from Norfolk, Va. that features rising lightweight Keyshawn Davis against veteran Gustavo Lemos in the main event. Howwever, there's controversy as Lemos was over 6 lb. way overweight. The boys discuss it all.
 They then turn to the Saturday night Matchroom Boxing/DAZN card from Philadelphia, where

Jaron “Boots” Ennis must fight Karen Chukhadzhian, the madatory challenger, in a rematch for Ennis’ IBF welterweight title. Boots is back at home and will he roll in this bout? Plus, exciting Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez meets Pedro Guevara for Rodriguez’s WBC junior bantamweight title. Will "Bam" deliver on a big stage here?
 
Then, on the week before his ring return with Jake Paul, former undisputed world heavyweight champ MIKE TYSON talks with Dan.
