Fight Night Program – Week of June 15-21

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, June 16 – York Hall, London
Frazer Clarke vs. Mariusz Wach – heavyweight – 10 rounds
A big jump in quality of opponents for the unbeaten Clarke, who is only 6-0 but owns also a stellar amateur record. Poland’s Wach will be no waltz, but he will be the right opponent for Clarke to put his career in high gear.
Also on this card:
Caroline Dubois vs. Yanina del Carmen Lescano – women’s lightweight – 10 rounds
Aaron McKenna vs. Uisma Lima – middleweight – 10 rounds
Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj, rematch – cruiserweight – 8 rounds

Regis Prograis vs. Danielito Zorrilla – junior welterweight – 12 rounds
The long-awaited homecoming bout of Prograis defending his belt should put the entire division on notice after the amazing Josh Taylor-Teofimo Lopez undisputed championship bout in NY. If Lopez is serious about his early retirement, Prograis may be well on his way to become the division’s new top man.

Tszyu lost a lot of time trying to lure Jermell Charlo into a title bout, and is now holding an “interim” version of an alphabet soup belt while he waits for the big fights that surely await him.
