It’s another pretty light boxing weekend but there are couple of fights to preview and plenty of news of the week, mainly the official announcement of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s third fight with Dereck Chisora.

Here is what’s on the show (in order):

• Discussion of the disappointment that Fury will fight Chisora for the third time in an entirely pointless and unnecessary fight nobody has every asked for. I get a bit cranky.

• The change in plans on which mandatory unified middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin has been ordered to make next.

• The announcement that with Demetrius Andrade pulling out on Zach Parker for the second time, he will face John Ryder for an interim super middleweight title.

• Lamenting all of the name fighters who will have just one fight in 2022 and the lack of a major fight, at least at this point, in the fourth quarter of the year.

• Previews of the card headlined by featherweight contender Mauricio Lara versus Jose Sanmartin on Saturday night on DAZN and a look at the “ShoBox” main event between super middleweights Isaiah Steen and Sena Agbeko on Friday night.

• Some discussion on what the pay-per-view undercard for the Jose Zepeda-Regis Prograis fight is going to look like.
