28-year-old Terri Harper champion will do the first defense of her title, and a 42-year-old pretender Natalie Zimmermann will take part in her first fight for the title of world champion. Harper is a multi -purpose world champion who wants to make a statement against her undefeated opponent.
In November 2021, the then champion of WBC Super-Feather, Terri Harper, faced the title of the world title by Alycia Baumgardner. It was a shocking box of boxing when Baumgardner stopped Harper in the fourth round.
A year later, Harper bounced off, beating Hannah Rankin and winning the title of WBA Junior-Middle weight. Harper would perform two successful defense of the title, and then decided to go down with a weight class to fight for the WBO welterweight title.
Harper O offer will not become a welterweight champion, because Sandy Ryan stopped her in the fourth round. Six months later, Harper received another shot at Gold Championship, and she used when she beat Rhiannon Dixon and won the lithe WBO belt.
Now the British Master Terri Harper is ready to defend the WBO title for the first time. Harper’s opponent plans to ruin the event related to returning home by playing the role of a spoiler and restoring the title to her homeland.
Natalie Zimmermann from Hamburg in Germany began her career in combat sport as a kickboxer, in which she won three more German national championships. Zimmermann moved to a professional boxing at the age of 38.
She made her debut in August 2020, when she defeated Abigail Quashie by a divided decision. Zimmermann continued her winning ways when she detached 12 additional wins. Now the invincible claimant will try to employ his first shot in the title of world champion.
Judging by her flawless album, one might think that Natalie Zimmermann is a worthy claimant for the title of the world, but it may not be like that. Zimmermann is undefeated, but she never stood an opponent with a winning record.
Natalie Zimmermann is a warrior who has a boxing style. She has rapid feet and is aggressive, but her technique is defective, she cast many shots from her shoulder, and its defense is sketchy.
The defending Master Terri Harper is definitely a more refined warrior. He has a solid stab, good leg work, knows how to control the range, and when he invents coverage, it allows combinations to fly.
This should be a type of struggle for Terri Harper, but in a recent interview a determined claimant spoke about his ambitions.
“My dream has always been to prove himself against warriors like Terri and presenting my skills,” said Zimmermann. “My trainer and I will develop combat strategies. There will certainly be some surprises for my opponent.”
The battle for the World WBO title is set for May 23. The only question is: will it be a routine victory or a huge nervousness?

Undercard for Jake Paul fight with Julio Tsar Chavez Jr. On June 28, in Anaheim, California is formed.
The most valuable promotions announced that Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield (18-0, 12 KO) will face the former IBF super feather WWWEight champion, Tevin Farmer (33-8-1, 8 KO) in a airy attack planned for 10 rounds.
The 22 -year -old Schofield was to face Shakur Stevenson in February a airy WBC title, but was forced to withdraw from the fight against the disease just three days before entering the ring. Now he will face an experienced veteran and former world champion in a farmer.
“Sharing the ring with the former world champion Tevin Farmer is a huge opportunity for me to silence those who doubt me and my skills, and I know that I will win,” said Schofield in a statement for ESPN.
The 34 -year -old Farmer brings some controversial decision -making losses with William Zezda. Farmer knocked down Zepeda at the first meeting in November, but the decision could not be divided. The rematch took place in March in another witty battle. However, Zepeda came to the top again with most wins in the decision.
The farmer lost three more fights with the defeat from Raymond Muratalla from July 2024. Although he was not in a column of won for over a year, the former master intends to be the first flaw in the records of “Kid Austin”.
“Kid Austin intends to learn – my skills are different from everything he has ever seen,” said Farmer. “I knock him to teach him lessons.”
At Undercard PPV there is also Raul Curiel (15-0-1, 13 KO) in a welterweight action against the disturbing Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez (16-0-1, 9 Kos) and the latest signatories of Kos), Avious Griffin (17-0, 16 Kos), repelled with Julian Rodriguez (23-1, 14, 14 kos).
Fighting with Ciudad Madero in Mexico, Curiel returned to the action for the first time since the war with Alexis Rocha, which ended in December.
Griffin is trained by Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, who also trained world champions Stevenson, Terenka Crawford and Keyshawn Davis, and fights with Las Vegas through Chattanoog in Tennessee. The 31-year-old won his last 10 fights with Nokaut and will want to extend this series against Rodriguez next month.
Rodriguez was an alternative at the Olympic Games in 2012 and is best known for defeating Gervont Davis twice as an amateur. It was relatively inactive from 2021, with only two fights after losing in 2021 with Jose Pedraz.
The 20-year-old world champion champion of the MVC MVP MVP, Noma Valle (14-0, 9 KO) is also added to the initial card. Ashley Felix (7-3, 1 KO) will take a 20-year-old Mexican Felix (7-3, 1 KO) in a six-handed flight fight.

Eddie Hearn says that the fighters are not fear Deontay Wilder, because his career has fallen over the past five years. He says that the former heavyweight champion WBC Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) is a classic example of “a warrior who loses”.
Hearn does not say why the career of 39-year-old Deontay has evaporated since 2020, but it is logical to assume that his luxurious, gathering a fortune $ 30 million Of the three fights with Tyson Fury, he had something to do with it.
The second part is that it was overrated, like Fury and Anthony Joshua. Fans saw all three as great talents, but it was all smoke and mirrors created by matchmaking. Promoters can make every warrior great with the right tips.
Deontay has lost four of the last five fights since 2020 and will try to rejuvenate his career against Tyrrell Anthony Herndon Next month on June 27 at Charles Koch Arena, Wichita, Kansas. Few fans have heard of Herndon (24-5, 15 KO), which shows how far Wilder’s career has fallen. In order for his promoters to adapt to this level of opposition, he stinks desperation to continue it.
Hearn: Wilder’s lost fear
“This is not a fight that I exclude, but people do not give Wilder a lot of shot against AJ, but I hope that he can start looking good again,” said Eddie Hearn Warrior About whether there is a chance that Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua fights so delayed in his career.
Deontay is 40 years vintage in October, he has not won the fight for three years and reflects defeats. At this point, he cannot win another fight with the little -known Tyrrell Herndon on June 27. It is doubtful whether Wilder’s problems are the result of age, deterioration of his three fights with Tyson Fury, or a tender life from becoming a super luxurious.
“We talk again Fr. Fighters lose their way. There is a great example. It’s witty that people can be so afraid of a warrior, and then suddenly don’t be afraid – said Hearn.
Deontay stopped being afraid of fighters after his seventh defeat with a knockout with fury in 2020. This guy is not known as Power Puncher, but he was able to hit Wilder around the ring all night in this fight.
You could not take this version of the cart and put it in any of the best heavyweight in this era and expect that he will do the same. It was the main version of the Fury, but he had a perfect opponent to look better than he.
Deontay has never been a good hefty weight, but WBC hefty heavyweight title took place by matching the sensitive warrior Berane Stiverne. Then Deontay posted his WBC title, defending him against needy opposition for five years before he lost him with fury in 2020.
“I don’t think anyone was afraid of fighting Deontay Wilder now, while at some point everyone thought:” Oh my God, this guy is the biggest blow in the history of this sport. ” Now everyone wants to fight him – said Hearn.
Younger warriors are not afraid of Wilder or 35-year-old Anthony Joshua, both considered vintage fossils. If Hearn pulled AJ out of the protective mode, he would be food for most heavyweight in the division. Of course, it won’t let it happen, but it would happen. Joshua is now as defeated as Wilder and is not afraid of anyone.
Nostalgia over talent
“If he still wins, maybe people can talk about this fight again,” said Hearn about the match between Deontay and Joshua.
Wilder will not win unless he matches the terrible opposition. At this point, the only way to fight between him and AJ is happening whether it was done for the same reason for the likely collision of Joshua with fury. In other words, to give money to sentimental older fans of the fight they wanted to see throughout all these years.
The fights of Joshua-Wilder and Joshua-Fury will not resonate with younger fans, because they do not perceive these guys as the most state-of-the-art hefty. They consider them to be vintage relics, such as Ford Model T Automobile.

Round box: Is Canelo-Crawford the best fight in the future?
Published
5 hours agoon
May 23, 2025
The boxing schedule was filled with great duels over the next four months, including three fights, which you need to see: Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford on the unquestioned Super Middle Championships, the rematch between the letters of heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois and the trilogical fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Other best fighters in action are the undisputed junior champion of Nayy Inoue and Junior Bantamweight, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez. And don’t forget to return the former master Manny Pacquiao and Jermall Charlo.
But what is the best upcoming duel? Will we see a novel pound king for pounds with all these great fights at the end of the year? Which warrior is best considered great nervousness? Which megafight would be perfect to add before the end of 2025?
Andreas Hale and Nick Parkinson share their thoughts and perform their types.
Currently, the best duel in the boxing schedule is …
Parkinson: Canelo vs. Crawford. The two best operators of this era will take various strategies for the ring on September 13. Canelo, 34, the undisputed master of super medium medium weight, has advantages of power and experience, because Crawford was the undisputed champion 140 and 147 pounds, accelerates two weight classes – after one fight for 154 pounds. Alvarez won his first 168-pound title seven years ago and won world titles in four weight classes during almost 20 years of career. However, the latest fight of Alvarez – the victory of the decision on William Scull at the beginning of this month – the fall suggested. From November 2021, he did not win a win in space. Maybe even chances. 37-year-old Crawford also a four-way world champion, could operate in branches of less weight, but he has the advantage and better boxing skills. This is a physical canelo vs. Technical Crawford, and this fight can be resolved with the most attractive margin.
Resilient: Canelo vs. Crawford is a must, but Taylor vs. Serrano 3 can be the best in the year. Considering how closely questioned – and extremely invigorating – their first two fights were, there is no reason to believe that the third meeting will be less than fireworks. The first two fights were decision-making victories for Taylor, but it can be argued that the series can be easily 2-0 in favor of Serrano. Unfortunately, here we are, and both warriors have something to prove and are adapted to each other. Taylor will be 39 before he enters the ring, but it seems that she has not lost his pace, while the Serrano-Master in the seven boxing divisions-has a greater course at the age of 36, but it seems to be as shrewd as before their first meeting in 2022. It is worth mentioning that these women appear as the head of the All-Women card in Madison Square Garden, may have significant mission in the future of women. The stake is individually and for this sport on a larger scale, when they meet on July 11.
Which warrior has the best chance of nervousness?
Resilient: Calling this nervousness indicates that in battle it is clearly weaker, so I will go with Dubois to Usyk. It is not about the controversial low blow, which caused Usyk at their meeting in August 2023 and more about how Dubois apparently simply falls into his physical foundation. It seems that 27 -year -old Dubois exists forever, but he changed the professional only in 2017, and two losses in space – to Usyk in 2023 and Joe Joyce in 2020 – should not define his career. Perhaps we saw the British at its best, when he completely evaporated Anthony Joshua in September last year, and the confidence he gained thanks to this fifth winning KO should move to his rematch from Usyk, Espn warrior No. 1 for pounds. Dubois knows what to expect after dividing nine rounds from UYYk and may have the time of his father as his secret weapon, taking into account that the ambiguous unquestioned master turned 38 in January. Dubois will have to be almost perfect to break the brilliant ring tactic, but he knows how to get to it and will have the opportunity to shock the world on July 19 at the London Wembley stadium.
Parkinson: Crawford’s movement, Ring IQ and Slick Boxing can get a win in points if he manages to keep it out of reach. Alvarez was not at his usual level in his last fight, victory in the decision on William Scull on May 3 in Saudi Arabia, but he will be better before a larger and more enthusiastic crowd in Las Vegas. The difference in this fight, however, will be Crawford’s ability to control the distance. Three years ago, Dmitriry Bivol unanimously overtook Canelo in a delicate weighty weight when he used his reach and stabbing to outline and outweigh Alvarez. Crawford has skills in his cabinet to do the same. It is pointed and enjoys a four -inch advantage. He can operate his leg work to avoid hazardous Canelo attacks on the body. Crawford can accelerate two classes to take part in Canelo, but it can turn away from blows and brisk meters. Technical brilliance and work of Crawford legs are enough to win a miniature decision.
The fight I would like to see the most before the end of the year is …
1:54
Nayya Inoue is burdened with Ramon Cardenas from the 8th TKO round
After early knocking out, Nayy Inoue burden Ramon Cardenas and wins TKO victory in the eighth round to keep his unquestionable junior championships.
Parkinson: Over the past five years, like many fans of the fight, I wanted to see the English heavyweight rival Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua divide the ring. But we are still waiting and the fight lose part of its charm. Instead of placing Fury vs. Joshua at the top of my wish list, I will go to the duel of the All-Japanese between the undisputed champion of the featherweight champion Inoue and Junto Nakrekani, the king of WBC Bantamweight. Drawany will face Ryosuke Nishida, IBF master, in the fight with the title of union on June 8, and if he wins, the demand will intensify about the start with Inoue. Skilledy, world champion in three weight and ESPN fighter No. 9 pounds per pound, broke in a win in the 3rd round over David Cuellar in February, and looks good to stay at Inoue’s clash in December. Inoue, fighter No. 2 ESPN and a four -way world champion, compiled 11 wins in a straightforward space, and the clash from Nakrekani would cause a lack of compromise, a crazy and furious meeting.
Resilient: Considering that it is unlikely that David Benavidez has a chance for Alvarez or a shot in the winner Dmitry Bivol-Artur Beterbiev 3 before the end of the year, I will change running with my choice and go with Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr. at 154 pounds. These two have been encircled for years and are often omitted in conversation as the future of boxing in favor of Gervont “Tank” Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez (sorry, Ryan Garcia). But between the Ortiza changing power and Ennis’s pure athleticism, it is a showdown that can eventually achieve this year. Ennis, IBF and WBA welterweight master, was attacked by Lopez, but it is obvious that Ennis would be more comfortable competing with 154 pounds, where Ortiz currently has a WBC transition belt. Junior Division Middle is a bit sloppy, and Crawford currently had the title of WBA, and Sebastian Funda defended both WBO and WBC belts against Tim Tkom in the rematch on July 19, but Ennis-Wordiz does not need the title attached to him to be convincing. This fight does not have to marinate; It just has to happen.
Which warrior will end a year at ESPN rankings for pounds?
Resilient: Crawford. If “Bud” Crawford does what I expect that he would do and beat Canelo the undisputed in the third weight class, how can you refuse his place on the rankings? Although the current one is present No. 1, he cannot rise on the weight to do what Crawford is trying in September. And the current No. 2 Inoue does not have an opponent who is as achieved as Canelo. Crawford, currently taking third place, has every tool necessary to defeat Canelo, but also to become the first warrior who stopped the Mexican superstar. It has an absolutely nasty run that could take advantage of the decreasing capacity of Canelo as the fight has passed. The size difference will not be as huge as some do it, and Crawford can potentially facilitate this appearance. The only thing that stopped Crawford from above is inactivity that will be repaired after entering the ring from Canelo.
Parkinson: Usyk, after closing his career this year, two defensive titles of the world champion will remain at the top. Inoue will be ready to take control when Usyk follows his retirement plan after two consecutive fights, although Crawford will also have a sturdy argument to be number 1 if he defeated Alvarez in September. But as long as Usyk leaves, his achievements will remain before the rest. First for Utyk there is a rematch from July 19 with Dubois, which two years ago Usyk Ko’d. Usyk looks too good to worry him Dubois, and the final fight vs. Joseph Parker is probably waiting for him this year. Usyk defeated several huge names (Joshua and Fury twice each), after reaching the unquestioned status in the circuitous weight. He will go down as the best weight of his weighty era if he ended his career with a flawless record.
