Hey there, fight fans! The second Fight Week of March is shaping up to be a busy stretch for boxing enthusiasts, featuring a range of intriguing matchups around the globe.
First up is Keith “One-Time” Thurman, who ends a three-year layoff on March 12 when he squares off against Brock Jarvis in Sydney, Australia. In the co-main event middleweight contender Michael Zerafa will square off against Besir Ay.
Then on Thursday, March 13, fans can look forward to a unification bout in Tokyo, where Kenshiro Teraji defends his WBC flyweight belt against WBA titlist Seigo Yuri Akui at Ryogoku Kokugikan. Both men are eager to establish themselves as Japan’s top flyweight, and the undercard offers even more championship stakes, including Anthony Olascuaga vs Hiroto Kyoguchi for the WBO flyweight title and Shokichi Iwata vs Rene Santiago at light flyweight.
Moving on to Saturday, March 15, Nick Ball defends his WBA featherweight belt against TJ Doheny at Liverpool’s Echo Arena. Ball’s relentless offensive style has captured fans’ attention, but the Irish-born, Australia-based Doheny - a former champ - seeks to stun the local crowd and reclaim his place in the 126-pound mix. Stateside, the Caribe Royale Orlando hosts Austin “Ammo” Williams against Patrice Volny at middleweight on DAZN. On the same card, Edgar Berlanga continues his comeback quest following last year’s loss to Canelo Alvarez, while Olympic silver medalist Omari Jones makes his pro debut.
Wrapping up on Sunday, March 16, Callum Walsh clashes with Scotland’s Dean Sutherland at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in a super welterweight encounter, streaming live on UFC Fight Pass.
