It's the latest edition of the Big Fight Weekend podcast getting ready for a Heavyweight contender showdown in Brooklyn, NY, on Saturday night.

Host T.J. Rives is joined first by Michael Woods of NYFights.com and "Talk Box" podcast, who is on scene for the Adam Kownacki battle with Chris Arreola in the PBC Main Event. Kownacki is 20-0 with a large Polish following in NYC and this is a chance to headline of national network broadcast and make an impression. Woods has been around the fighters in the buildup this week and has great insight.

Next, Marquis Johns of BigFightWeekend.com is back on the show also talking the heavyweights in Brooklyn. However, he's also interested in up and coming Irish Featherweight contender Michael Conlan fighting Saturday afternoon U.S. Time from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Similar to Kownacki, he's got a large Irish following and will he deliver in his battle.

Plus, T.J. and Marquis discuss World Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez being stripped of the IBF version of his title, the fallout, and when and against whom he will fight again. Also, will GGG get to fight for that IBF belt this fall?

Finally, the guys are talking historical battles, including Iron Mike Tyson becoming Undisputed Heavyweight Champion 32 years ago this week. And, it's also the anniversary of Thomas Hearns first title win in his hometown of Detroit almost 40 years ago, too!

Put up your "Dukes" and get ready for the previews and more on Big Fight Weekend!
