The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be “war-of-hours” somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the latest information on the most relevant fights you need to see this week at your fingertips, with a one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a handy nuts and bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we aim for.
Here are this week's most relevant battles:
Thursday, June 13 – Zenith de Paris-La Villette, Paris
Kevin Lele Sadjo vs. Durval Elias Palacio, 12 rounds, super middleweight
Bakary Samake vs. Julio Alamos – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
Friday, June 14 – Bolton Whites Hotel, Manchester, England
Abass Baraou vs. Macaulay McGowan, 12 rounds, junior middleweight
Lerrone Richards vs. Steed Woodall, 10 rounds, super middleweights
Ryan Kelly vs. Gerome Warburton, 10 rounds, middleweights

Where to watch it: DAZN
Saturday, June 15 – MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin, 12 rounds, lightweight
Davis has already become one of the fighters of our era, and the bad blood he has produced with Martin will certainly make for a compelling fight. Definitely one to watch this weekend.
David Benavidez vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 12 rounds, light heavyweight
Benavidez has finally won (at least officially) the super middleweight division, but picking the stronger and more skilled Gvozdyk in this fight might be a mistake. All bets are on the taller and stronger Mexican to win more, but I expect a very close fight.
Also on this card:
Gary Antoine Russell vs. Alberto Puello, 12 rounds, junior welterweight
Carlos Adames vs. Terrell Gausha, 12 rounds, middleweight
Elijah Garcia vs. Kyrone Davis, 10 rounds, middleweights
Mark Magsayo vs. Eduardo Ramirez, 10 rounds, featherweight
Roiman Villa vs. Ricardo Salas, 10 rounds, welterweights

Saturday, June 15 – Coliseo Cruz Abreu, Manati, Puerto Rico
Subriel Matias vs. Liam Paro, 12 rounds, junior welterweight
Matias prides himself on being “the most avoided man in boxing”, and it would be absolutely true. Australia's Paro will face his duty as a guest against one of boxing's most ruthless fighters, which could end up being an exhibition fight for young Matias in defense of his IBF belt.
Also on this card:
Angel Fierro vs. Alfredo Santiago, 10 rounds, junior welterweights
Yankiel Rivera vs. Victor Sandoval, 10 rounds, flyweights
Stephanie Pineiro vs. Diana Tapia, 10 rounds, women's welterweights
Jeyvier Cintron vs. Carlos Mujica, 10 rounds, bantamweights
Kevin Gonzalez vs. Kenny Demecillo, 10 rounds, junior featherweights
William Ortiz vs. Carlos Mitzael Jimenez, 6 rounds, junior welterweights
Where to watch it: DAZN
Saturday, June 15 – Selhurst Park, London
Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe, 12 rounds, cruiserweight
Skilled boxers, Riakhporhe and Billam-Smith will renew their rivalry in a high-octane rematch in front of a partisan crowd. If you can't be there, be sure to watch it on TV. It should be a very emotional weekend.
Also on this card:
Isaac Chamberlain vs. Jack Massey, 12 rounds, cruiserweight
Ben Whittaker vs. Ezra Arenyeka, 10 rounds, light heavyweights
Dan Azeez vs. Hrvoje Sep, 8 rounds, light heavyweights
Francesca Hennessy vs. Dorota Norek, 8 rounds, women's featherweights
