Jared Anderson Headlines For Top Rank, "Boots" Ennis' New Home + Anthony Joshua & Oscar De La Hoya Nostalgia | BFW Preview Podcast Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast

    • Sports

Arguably the top U.S. Heavyweight is back headlining for Top Rank Boxing, a British 130 lb. contender is back in action for Matchroom and we have news and lots of good nostalgia on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives is back with insider Dan Rafael of his "Fight Freaks Unite" Substack and BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all.

They talk Jared "Real Big Baby" Anderson returning after a tumultuous last few months with two arrests and now fighting a slightly known veteran in the Top Ran main event on ESPN from Texas. Dan and T.J. have their reservations about Anderson's heart and commitment to the sport of boxing and more. There's further conversation on heavyweights Efe Ajagba and Guido Viannelo fighting in the co-feature and maybe, that bout has more "sizzle."

Next, there's some quick conversation on Jordan Gill topping the Matchroom bill in Manchester, England, as he fights Zelfa Barrett in a 12 rounder to help solidify his standing in the junior lightweight rankings.

Then, there's fight news on newly elevated IBF welterweight champ Jaron "Boots" Ennis jumping to Matchroom to promote him. Dan has insight on his next potential fight, but T.J. wants to know why can't we get an Ennis-Terence Crawford undisputed 147 lb. fight late in the year, as well?

Dan has more on the passing of significant U.S. promoter Gary Shaw who died earlier this week and more on the undercard of the upcoming Canelo-Munguia card on May 4th.

The boys close with Anthony Joshua anniversary nostalgia on his first heavyweight title win and a classic Oscar De La Hoya battle with fellow hall of fame laegend, Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, too!
