The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be “fight-o-clock” somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the most up-to-date information on the most relevant fights you need to see in this week-at-a-glance, one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a useful nuts-and-bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we’re aiming at.

Here are this week’s most relevant fights:

Friday, March 24 – Allianz Cloud, Milan, Italy

Ivan Zucco vs. Germaine Brown – super middleweight – 10 rounds

Francesco Russo vs. Christian Mazzon – junior middleweight – 10 rounds

Maxim Prodan vs. Mirko Marchetti – welterweight – 8 rounds

Where to watch it: DAZN (Europe), ESPN+ (USA)

Friday, March 24 – Bolton Whites Hotel, Bolton, England

Lyndon Arthur vs. Boris Crighton – light heavyweight – 12 rounds

The last-minute APB on this said that this intriguing bout was suspended due a sinusitis diagnosis on Braian Suarez, the original B-side from Argentina. In walked Crighton at the last minute, saving the fight and the card that will now go on as planned.

Also on this card:

James Moorcroft vs. Nathan Bennett – welterweight – 10 rounds

Kane Gardner vs. Conah Walker – junior welterweight – 8 rounds

Chloe Watson vs. Romina Gisel Sosa – women’s flyweight – 6 rounds

Saturday, March 25 – MGM Grand, Las Vegas  

David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant – super middleweight -12 rounds

A true challenge and a potential game-changer for the unbeaten and immensely talented Benavidez, a fighter destined to great things. The once-beaten Plant will not make things easier for him, but Benavidez clearly has the upper hand in this fight that looms as a thriller while it lasts.

The skinny: Someone will lift a world title belt at the end of this fight because this is boxing in the 21^st century, the era of the participation trophy. But the true champion is still Canelo Alvarez, and that is what this bogus belt represents for the winner: a ticket in the Canelo sweepstakes.

Also on this card:

Cody Crowley vs. Abel Ramos – welterweight -12 rounds

Jesus Ramos vs. Joey Spencer – junior middleweights – 10 rounds

Chris Colbert vs. Jose Valenzuela – lightweights – 10 rounds

Kevin Gonzalez vs. Jose Sanmartin – junior featherweight – 10 rounds

Orestes Velasquez vs. Marcelino Lopez – junior welterweight – 10 rounds

Where to watch it: Showtime PPV

Saturday, March 25 – Save Mart Arena, Fresno, Calif.

Jose Ramirez vs. Richard Commey – junior welterweight – 12 rounds

Ramirez will find a very capable foe in Commey as he tries to bounce back from his razor-thin loss to Josh Taylor in what is his only loss so far.

Seniesa Estrada vs. Tina Rupprecht – strawweight -10 rounds

“Super Bad” Estrada is rated No. 6 by The Ring in the pound-for-pound ratings, and she is poised to make it into the top 5 if she becomes the inaugural Ring champ at this weight against her unbeaten German foe in this title unification clash.

Also on this card:

Antonio Mireles vs. Patrick Mailata – heavyweight – 6 rounds

Raymond Muratalla vs. Humberto Galindo – lightweight – 10 rounds

Yokasta Valle vs. Jessica Basulto – women’s strawweight – 10 rounds

The other half of the women’s strawweight title haul will be at stake in this fight on the same day of Estrada-Rupprecht, with this being a considerably easier job for the supremely talented IBF/WBO titlist Valle. Expect a four-belt unification between the night’s winners in the not-so-distant future.
