The boxing world is still reeling from the fallout of the undisputed heavyweight championship fight held in Riyadh. With the belts finally unified under one champion, the sanctioning bodies are now issuing mandatory defense orders, which could lead to the titles being fragmented once again. The newly crowned king of the division has expressed interest in a crossover fight against a top MMA star, a move that has drawn both excitement and criticism from purists.

In the lower weight classes, Canelo Alvarez has teased a move up in weight for a legacy-defining bout against a cruiserweight champion. Negotiations are reportedly in the final stages for a September showdown in Las Vegas. This move would be a massive risk for the Mexican superstar, but one that could cement his place as the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of his generation.

Meanwhile, a massive rematch in the lightweight division has been officially signed for July. Both fighters have been trading insults on social media for months, and the ticket sales for the London-based event broke records within minutes of going live. The winner of this bout is expected to become the mandatory challenger for the divisional titles currently held by Gervonta Davis.
