The conqueror of two weight divisions and the current owner of the WBA junior middleweight belt (up to 69.9 kg) Briton Terry Harper (13-1-1, 6 KOs) will fight her next fight against the age-old former absolute champion in the lower division, the former leader women’s P4P rating of Colombian Cecilia Braekhus (37-2, 9 KOs).

Presumably the fight will take place on April 29.


The WBO world champion in the featherweight (up to 57.2 kg) and second featherweight (up to 59 kg) weight categories Mexican Emmanuel Navarrete (37-1, 31 KOs) has already decided in which division he will continue his career.

The world champion in three categories, Navarrete, refused a belt of 57.2 kg, because he has a super fight ahead of him with former champion in two divisions, compatriot Oscar Valdez (30-1, 23 KOs).

This decision automatically raised the status of the fight of Navarrete’s colleagues in the promotion company Top Rank – two-time Olympic champion Cuban Robeysi Ramirez (11-1, 7 KOs) and ex-champion Isaac Dogbo (24-2, 15 KOs) from Ghana will play not a temporary belt (as previously thought), but a full-fledged one. This fight will take place on April 1 in Tulsa (Oklahoma, USA).


An interesting heavyweight fight (over 90.7 kg) is scheduled for June in London (England). Divisional local avenue
Johnny Fisher (7-0, 6 KOs) will meet with the famous bag fighter from the USA Christopher Lovejoy (20-1, 20 KOs).

Apparently, it is for this reason that the American recently announced an intermediate fight in England.


Some of the fights that will take place on March 12 in Sydney (Australia) as part of the Tim Tszyu – Tony Harrison show are already known. Promoters Rose Brothers (No Limit Boxing Promotions) will solidly raise the level of opposition to the Australian top prospects:

– in the second bantamweight limit (up to 55.3 kg) Sam Goodman (13-0, 7 KOs) will fight with the ex-world champion Irishman TJ Dohaney (23-3, 17 KOs);

– in the light heavyweight limit (up to 79.4 kg) representative of Australia at the Olympic Games-2020
Paulo Aokuso (3-0, 3 KOs) will fight with Cuban slugger Yunieschi Gonzalez (21-5, 17 KOs);

– younger brother of Tim Tszyu, prospect of the first middle (up to 69.9 kg) division Nikita Tszyu (4-0, 3 KOs), will meet with a compatriot
Bo Belbin (7-0, 5 KOs).

In October, Tszyu Jr. knocked out puncher Darkon Dryden.
