Another big week and weekend of fights unfolding and we're back with the newest edition of the show, as it spans with action Wednesday and Thursday from Australia to Japan to England and even, Orlando, FL, coming this weekend. It's all on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael are back to go over it all.

First, they recap Wednesday No Limit Boxing main event in Sydney, Australia (PBC YouTube in US) with the successful return of Keith Thurman with a KO3 over Brock Jarvis, junior middleweights – Now, a Tim Tszyu fight is probably next if Tszyu wins his April 5th bout vs. Joey Spencer.

 Next a recap of the Thursday Teiken Promotions card on ESPN+ in Tokyo and a fantastic battle that saw Kenshiro Teraji TKO12 Seigo Yuri Akui,  and heunifies WBC/WBA flyweight titles. Amazing action and drama, as Teraji was behind on 2 cards but got the stoppage in the final two minutes for the win. Dan also believes that he's now a serious hall of fame contender.

Then, they preview Queensberry main event Saturday in Liverpool, England on DAZN. This has
Nick Ball vs. TJ Doheny, for Ball’s WBA featherweight title in a 12 rounder. The popular Ball is favored to roll in this one.
 
And, there's more on the Matchroom card Saturday in Orlando, Fla. on DAZN.  Austin "Ammo" Williams meets Patrice Volny in a 12 round middleweight bout. And, Edgar Berlanga takes Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, in the super middleweight co feature. Plus, U.S. Olympic medalist Omari Jones makes his pro debut vs. Alessio Mastronunzio for 6 rounds as junior middleweights.

Then News:

Undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue's next defense made official vs. San Antonio’s Ramon Cardenas in the main event of a Top Rank/ESPN card May 4 — a Sunday — at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Dan also reported WBO featherweight titlist Rafael Espinoza defends against Edward Vazquez co-feature. And, the plan is 4 fights for Inoue this year – He KO’d Kim in Jan, this May 4th fight, then Sept.14th in Japan in a WBA mandatory vs. MJ Akhmadaliev. And, hei'll finally fight in December in Riyadh.  The guys discuss it all.

Next the WBO orders Oleksandr Usyk to face interim champion Joseph Parker but Usyk's team is already negotiating a Daniel Dubois rematch.

And, the British Boxing Board of Control fined Chis Eubank £100,000 for smashing an egg in the face of Conor Benn at their kickoff news conference on Feb. 25 in Manchester, England. Big enough fine? Too much? The guys have takes.

Finally, Nostalgia

March 13, 1999 – 26 years ago on Thursday – Lennox Lewis robbed for a draw with Evander Holyfield in unification for the undisputed heavyweight crown in one of worst decisions in boxing history. It was an ugly fight with an uglier set of scorecards. We re-live it.
