A note to Fight Freaks Unite readers: I created Fight Freaks Unite in January 2021 and eight months later it also became available for paid subscriptions for additional content — and as a way to help keep this newsletter going and for readers to support independent journalism. If you haven’t upgraded to a paid subscription please consider it. If you have already, I truly appreciate it! Also, consider a gift subscription for the Fight Freak in your life.
The weekend brings us two notable cards from Las Vegas, the launch of Zuffa Boxing on Paramount+ on Friday night and Matchroom Boxing’s world title event on DAZN on Saturday night, and we previewed it all. There is also my interview with lineal/WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez ahead of his big-time defense against Shakur Stevenson next week. We also covered several news items. Also, check out and subscribe to the YouTube channel for a variety of content.
Here is what’s on the show (in order):
Preview of the kickoff of Zuffa Boxing with a tripleheader headlined middleweight Callum Walsh against Carlos Ocampo.
Preview the Matchroom Boxing card headlined by IBF lightweight titlist Raymond Muratalla’s mandatory defense against Andy Cruz, the return of former junior middleweight titlist Israil Madrimov against Luis David Salazar as well as light heavyweight Khalil Coe against Jesse Hart and junior middleweight prospect Omari Jones versus Jerome Baxter.
My interview with Lopez on a variety of things as he prepares to defend the 140-pound title against WBC lightweight titlist Stevenson on Jan. 31 in a big-time DAZN PPV at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
