Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) scored a first-round knockout in his debut fight at the junior middleweight division in front of family and friends at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, on DAZN. Ennis made quick work of Uisma Lima (14-2, 10 KOs), who had never been stopped in his 15-fight career. During the post-fight in-ring interview, Ennis clearly stated that he wants to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. next, and if Ortiz beats Lubin, we should expect that fight in 2026. In the opening round, Ennis switched from conventional to southpaw and landed a right uppercut that instantly hurt Lima.

Arslanbek Makhmudov (20-2, 19 KOs) went into enemy territory and walked away with his hand raised in the main event at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, UK. Makhmudov scored a unanimous decision over Dave Allen (24-7-2, 19 KOs) with the judges seeing this fight:111-105, 116-110, and 117-109. After the fight, Makhmudov was asked about a potential fight with Anthony Joshua, in which he answered, “I come for you, Anthony Joshua.” After this impressive victory, Makhmudov just might get the Joshua fight he is looking for in 2026. In the opening round, Makhmudov wasted no time in applying pressure and landing his straight right hand.

The WWE delivered its first Australian PLE in February 2024, six years since they were last ‘down under’ for a PPV, and the WWE quickly learned that the Aussies are pound for pound some of the best fans on the planet. WWE returned to the RAC Arena for ‘Crown Jewel: Perth,’ an event typically reserved for Saudi shows, but after Turki Alalshikh secured the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania for next year, it left several vacancies that needed to be filled. For WWE superstars, the Perth show is a treat, as fans in Australia have earned a reputation as one of the best live crowds in the sport.

Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) was last seen potentially announcing retirement after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs). However, this might not be the case, according to promoter Frank Warren, who sees a Fury showdown in 2026. On the Queensberry Promotions YouTube page, Warren revealed that Fury is looking to get active again very, very soon. "We had a couple of conversations about it, where I hadn't for a long time.

On Friday afternoon in Philadelphia, PA, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) and Uisma Lima (14-1, 10 KOs) both came under the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds to make Saturday’s main event on DAZN official. For Ennis, who is the huge betting favorite even though this is his first fight at 154 pounds, will have the opportunity to not only beat Lima but also earn the interim WBA world title, which should pave the way for a full title fight in 2026. Standing in the way is Lima, who has never been stopped and has only one loss on his record, which was a 2023 decision to Aaron McKenna at 160 pounds.

UFC honcho, Dana White, recently announced his plans to enter the boxing realm with his promotional Zuffa Boxing. White’s entry is also potentially set to bring noticeable changes to the sport, especially to the Ali Act. This decision did not sit well with Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn, who believes that his promotional rival might have sinister motives. Talking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Hearn shed light on why White’s decision to modify the Ali Act might just come back to bite him. “The problem with the Ali Act for them is, you have to disclose to the fighters the revenue of the show, particularly from the broadcaster.

There was no custom underwear for Allen as he was all business at Friday’s weigh-in.

It has been over a year since Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) stepped into the professional ring, following a loss against Daniel Dubois. While many have pondered if Joshua was planning to hang up his gloves for good, Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn was quick to remind that the former champ still had a few fights left in him. And it just might be at a location that he has long eyed. Speaking to ESPN, Hearn said he was initially unsure whether Joshua would be battle-ready by the end of 2025.

WBC light heavyweight champion David Benavidez will face Anthony Yarde on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but he already has his eye on the future, which could mean the next step in his young career. Throughout his 12-year career as a pro fighter, Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) has spent most of that time signed under Sampson Boxing, which is owned by Sampson Lewkowicz. During that time, Benavidez has experienced his share of ups and downs, from a failed drug test and losing his title on the scale to leaving it all behind and regaining one of the top spots in the sport.

As the hunt continues to find an opponent for heavyweight Derek ‘War’ Chisora, one name has surfaced, and it’s a fighter that was linked to a Chisora fight a year ago: Zhilei Zhang. A week ago, Queensberry Boss Frank Warren spoke to talkSPORT and announced a December 13 show at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena featuring Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) and heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) in separate fights. Rumors were swirling that former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder could be a potential opponent, but since then, things have quieted down.

It’ll be an early Saturday morning WWE PLE (Premium Live Event) when the wrestling company hosts Crown Jewel Perth 2025 live from the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, on the ESPN App in the States and Netflix internationally.

Texas-born pop artist Travis Scott was used to score the opening of Monday Night RAW on Netflix from Dallas, Texas, as fans live in the American Airlines Center for a very historic night in the venue’s history. Beginning with the first show in 1999, tonight marks the 10th time that the AAC has hosted RAW—the second time this year. The DFW area is a landmark ‘territory’ dating back to the meteoric rise of ‘The Von-Erichs’ in the late 1970s and into the mid-80s. The show was being promoted around the booked appearance of…

This fight was made after Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs) could not secure the rematch with Gervonta Davis, as the latter decided to go a different route and face Jake Paul in November.

Matchroom Boxing will be busy on Saturday as they first host a fight card from the Sheffield Arena in the U.K., as heavyweights Dave Allen and Arslanbek Makhmudov will headline the card, which streams live on DAZN. Allen (24-7-2, 19 KOs), who is coming off a fifth-round TKO over Johnny Fisher in their May rematch, has gained somewhat of a cult following with his weigh-in antics (he wore Speedo underwear with his face all over them) and overall fun personality. Allen showed real grit against Fisher, which makes this fight against Makhmudov even more interesting.

Matchroom Boxing heads back to the city of brotherly love on Saturday night as Jaron’Boots’ Ennis makes his junior middleweight debut against Uisma Lima. Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) vs. Lima (14-1, 10 KOs) will stream live on DAZN from the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, PA.

Friday Night SmackDown was live from Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Heritage Bank Center. Crown Jewel Perth is a week away, and that means we can expect heavy pushes of the ‘champion vs champion’ storylines for both the men's and women’s divisions. But RAW has utilized this time to further bigger storylines involving Seth Rollins, so we could very well see Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton thrown into a similar situation involving another superstar during their promoted ‘contract signing’ tonight. CODY’S ROADS ALL LEAD TO A MAJOR ‘TURN’??? Cody Rhodes…

PFL’s (Professional Fighters League) new CEO, Paul Martin, might just have a crossover mega fight in his hands. While Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is currently preparing to face Gervonta Davis (30-0, 28 KOs), the callout from Oleksandr Usyk has added a potential major showdown in the books. Speaking with Bloody Elbow as the organization prepares to showcase the Champions Series event, Martin revealed that the organization, and more notably its co-founder, Donn Davis, is in constant touch with Paul and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian. “I think this is my one-month anniversary, and I’ve been quite busy.

Undisputed super middleweight champion Terence Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) recently dished out a sensational victory against Canelo Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs). However, according to Matchroom boss, Eddie Hearn, this might not be enough to deem him the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Talking to iFL TV, Hearn expressed his doubts about the validity of considering Crawford as the best pound-for-pound fighter, highlighting how he hasn’t faced major names in their prime. “Who has Crawford beat from the pound-for-pound list? The answer is Canelo Alvarez, and maybe Errol Spence at the time who was somewhere near the back end of the top 10 at the time, but when he fought Shawn Porter, when he fought Kell Brook, when he fought Amir Khan, when he fought Gamboa, it’s important that you get what I’m saying,”

There were no scale fails in Santa Ynez, CA, for the 360 Promotions streaming Friday night on UFC Fight Pass. The two light heavyweight fighters in the main event, Umar Dzambekov (12-0, 8 KOs) and Artem Brusov (13-1, 12 KOs), came within the contracted weight to make their fight official. This will be another test for Dzambekov, who could become a name in the light heavyweight division come next year if he can look good against Brusov. The undercards are intriguing as they also represent the future of 360 Promotions.
