Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast

It's arguably the biggest fight card remaining this year, at least in the USA, as former undisputed welterweight champ Terence Crawford returns for his first fight in 2024. And, we're ready to preview his junior middleweight title battle with Israil Madrimov and the entire card on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"
Host T.J. Rives is back with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com, who's on scene in Los Angeles for the huge pay per view card.
How will Crawford do moving up in weight against a talented but largely untested at the pro level Madrimov? Plus, there's discussion on what's next for Crawford in the likely event he wins, including the name Canelo Alvarez.
The guys preview the two undercard heavyweight showdowns for Andy Ruiz against Jarell Miller and also, the Jared Anderson battle with Martin Bakole. These fights are high profile and the winners may very likely be fighting each other late this year.
Next, hear more on this massive card as newly crowned WBA 140 lb. champ Issac "Pitbull" Cruz defends against solid young fighrer Jose Valenzuela in an intriguing title bout. Ptibull could put himself in position for a big rematch bout against Gervonta Davis, as well.
There's plenty of fight news on Jaime Munguia's next bout, which will be a Top Rank Boxing main event, for September. The Jack Catterall bout with Regis Prograis for later this month is postponed and Dan has more on why? Plus, what's the truth on Shakur Stevenson's next bout?
Finally, some nostalgia on Mike Tyson becoming undisputed heavyweight champ some 37 years ago this weekend and what were the ramifications from then on for "Iron Mike?" Dan also talks being ringside for the Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz rematch anniversary in Las Vegas from 2010 and why it didn't deliver.
