The world title action continues this weekend with not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE world title fights across two cards. Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez go toe-to-toe in a battle of the New Yorkers, whilst former Olympian Josh Kelly looks to become world champion at the first attempt against the hard-hitting Bakhram Murtazaliev — and that’s where we will start.

In terms of a double-header, from two different promoters, with two different broadcasters, over two days and in one city, it really does not getting much better in the world of boxing than this weekend.  One of the greatest rivalries in boxing will come to a conclusion at Madison Square Garden on Friday as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano battle it out in what will more than likely be the big finale between the pair on an all-female card which features three undisputed world title fights and three more world title fights, two of those being unification clashes. Remarkable. 

They say good things come in threes, and this weekend that saying couldn’t be more accurate, with three shows across three cities in three nights, including three of Ring Magazine’s P4P top 10.

Walk into any boxing gym worth its salt, and you’ll see them. Sun-faded, tattered at the edges, but still standing proud—posters of the all-time greats. Ali and Frazier glaring at each other in the legendary Thrilla in Manila artwork, Foreman and Ali frozen in history before the Rumble in the Jungle, Tyson’s menacing stare, Mayweather’s cocky smirk, Pacquiao’s quiet intensity.
