One blow can change everything and every boxing fanmust be aware of it. Especially if the clash at stage is one of the Heavyweights. Both Andy Ruiz and King Kong Ortizhave enough power to end their second fight at any time.
Also, if the already mentioned arguments were not enough, this fight could get any of both contenders, Andy Ruiz Jr or LuisKing KongOrtiz, a shot for a bigger fight. Maybe a bout against former champions Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua, or maybe a priority seat in the list of challengers of the winner in the to be made clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Which are the best boxing fights coming up in July, August and September?
While every boxing match is a box of surprises, which can pleasantly surprise us with spectacular knockouts or memorable wars, there are some clashes from which we expect much more action than others in advance.
Thus, for the months of July, August and September, fights such as Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna are scheduled. A clash in which the 135-pound prospect must overcome an experienced opponent to prove that his next step may well be an opportunity in the ring against an established fighter like Gervonta Davis.
Another stellar boxing fight will take place in Saudi Arabia, the second version of the battle between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. At stake, in addition to pride and legacy, will be the WBA, WBO and IBF World Heavyweight titles, and a very possible ticket to a full division unification fight against Tyson Fury.
Regarding Women’s boxing, two of the biggest stars will come to stage, on September 10, the anticipated clash between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall will be held, these two have starred a fierce rivalry since they were olympians.
Finally, the fight that will get the most attention, and with good reason, will be on September 17, in Las Vegas, Nevada, between Saul Canelo Alvarez and the tough Kazakh Gennadiy Golovkin. On the table will be all the 168-pound belts currently held by the Mexican champion.
