    Jun 26 2026
    We are back for a HUGE junior middleweight title showdown as a DAZN pay per view in Brooklyn, NY takes place Saturday night between unified junior middleweight champ Xander Zayas and former unified welterweight champ Jaron "Boots" Ennis. And, we cover that, fight news and more on the newest "Big Fight Wekekend Preview Podcast!"

    This show was originally live on Thursday afternoon on our BFW Youtube page.

    Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael are back with their insight and thoughts on the tremendous match-up of unbeatens at Barclays Center, as two of the top Americans in the sport will do battle. Zayas is stepping up in fight level and Ennis is having his second bout at 154 lb. The guys go over it all.

    They also talk the undercard with Emiliano Vargas and England's Ben Whittaker fighting on it, as well.

    Next, there's a recap of the exciting IBF Welterweight title fight Wednesday of Aussie Liam Paro defeating Ireland's Lewis Crocker in a close unanimous decision. Paro hung on to a lead on the cards with the champ scoring against him in the final two rounds. Paro is also only the second Australian to be a two division world champ. The guys have more on that and the welterweight picture.

    Then, it's the latest news with hall of famer Floyd Mayweather's financial and legal troubles that have now cancelled his scheduled exhibition in Greece Saturday and are jeopardizing his fights with Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao down the road. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!

    There is also news on Joe Cordina of Wales being unable to travel to the USA for the July 4th WBO lightweight title fight with Abdullah Mason in Cleveland, OH. Cordina is in trouble with the law in his home country and was denied a visa to the USA. Mason will now fight Ohioian Albert Bell in the main event in his first title defense.

    And, finally, the guys go over Oleksandr Usyk and a looming deadline to agree to fight WBC interim heavweight champ Agit Kabayel coming up. Will he fight him or vacate? And, if he does, who does the hard hitting Kabayel meet?
