Oscar de la Hoya says that he expects Joseph “Jojo” Diaz da Floyd Schofield a real test of November 8 in a 10-round featherlight light-coefficient on Dazn at Dickies Arena at Fort Worth in Texas.

The Golden Boy de la Hoya promoter states that he sees 23-year-old Schofield (19-0, 13 KO) as a “superstar”. He just didn’t have the opportunity to show what he could do.

Can Schofield cope with veterans’ pressure?

Former super feather champion IBF Diaz (34-8-1, 15 Kos), who in the last four years in the last four years in Chicago, Illinois in Chicago, Illinois over the past four years over the past four years over the past four years in the last four years in the last four years of August 21, 2025 in Chicago, Illino. Prograis has fallen several times in battle, even though he lost.

The potential of the Super Gwiades on the line

“Joseph Diaz had a huge performance against Regis Prograis. It will be a tough challenge for the” kid “. If “Kid” goes there, as he did against Tevin, we have a superstar on our hands. Golden Boy BoxinG.

“Kid Austin,” get ready. Get ready because “yo -yo” is approaching you. I am telling you now, we have a superstar in “Kid Austin,” said De la Hoya.

It is too early to know if Schofield will become something other than a pretender. Although he looked great in his last fight, rejecting the former super feather champion IBF Tevin Farmer in the first round of June 28, 2025, he was dealing with a 35-year-old warrior.

In addition, the farmer entered the exhausting fights that went to a distance against William Zezedie. Tevin took many penalties in those fights that he lost by a few decisions. It was not an ideal situation for a farmer to go straight to the battle of Schofield just three months after losing a 12-round unanimous decision Zepeda on March 29, 2025 at Cancun, Mexico.

Mediation of real talent Schofield

Perhaps the exact meter of Schofield’s talent was his performance against Rene Tellez Giron on November 2, 2024. He could not do much against Giron, he was dropped at 11 and forced to win the decision at the 12-round distance.

We would know how good Schofield was if he did not withdraw from the fight with Shakur Stevenson at the beginning of this year on February 22, 2025. Schofield had food poisoning.

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Undefeated American light heavyweight Atif Oberlton believes there is plenty more to come after rating his last performance seven out of ten as he prepares to face knockout puncher Deon Nicholson on November 7.

Oberlton improved to 17-0 with a shutout decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August, but believes he has another level to reach despite winning every round.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, the Philadelphia southpaw reflected on his victory over Angulo and becoming the first fighter to stop Carlos Gongora earlier this year.

“They said Carlos Gongora was going to be a very tough opponent, and he was one of my toughest challenges thus far. He’d never been stopped, and I was able to get the stoppage pretty early on because I locked in and trained the way I needed to.

“Looking back, I’d rate my performance against Angulo maybe a 7 out of 10—I could have definitely done better. But this camp is different mentally. We had a lot of factors going on last time, but I’m entirely focused now,” he told WBN.

The assessment comes as promoter Dmitriy Salita looks to establish Oberlton as America’s leading light heavyweight.

Oberlton Faces Nicholson

Nicholson enters their November 7 contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 19 knockouts from 23 victories and a reputation for dangerous punching power.

The Alabama fighter was previously linked to a showdown with former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev, making him another significant test for Oberlton.

“Nicholson is a good opponent—a good dance partner. We’re getting closer to the level of opponents that allow for a standout performance because the challenge keeps stepping up. I definitely don’t take him lightly. I respect everyone who gets in the ring and stands in front of me, but I’m going to go out there and do what I trained to do.”

The ten-round bout at Kiva Auditorium will be Oberlton’s fourth appearance of 2026, with Salita Promotions delivering on its promise to keep the unbeaten contender active.

Salita Promotions Keeps Promise

Oberlton says his relationship with Salita has allowed him to build momentum while continuing to work toward a world title opportunity.

“Salita Promotions told me they were going to keep me busy when I signed, and they’ve kept their end of the bargain. I’m keeping mine by going out there, performing, and winning—whether by early stoppage or decision.

“As long as they keep putting people in front of me, I’m going to keep fighting. Every time I step in the ring, I want to perform better than the last time, climb the ladder, and take some hardware home. I’m ready to take some candy.”

Oberlton has already stopped Joseph George and Gongora in 2026 before proving he could dominate over ten rounds against Angulo.

With 14 knockouts in 17 victories, Oberlton has shown he can finish opponents early and control fights over the distance.

Now, with another training camp behind him and a fourth fight of the year approaching, Oberlton believes his best performances are still ahead of him.

Tony Bellews Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: Yep, I Said It

Tony Bellew's Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: "Yep, I Said It"

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.

The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.

After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.

Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.

It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.

Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.

“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”

Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.

Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.

Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
