It's a highly intriguing weekend of action from Saudi Arabia to Minnesota and beyond and we're ready to discuss everything from Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury to an IBF world title bout at 140 lb. on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!" Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to go over it all. The guys discuss first the IBF junior welterweight world title bout between Subriel Matias and Jermias Ponce on Showtime Saturday night from frigid Minnesota. Dan has thoughts on the match and whether we'll see some serious early punches unloaded in this one? Matias has 18 KOs in his 18 wins but Ponce is arguably his toughest opponent to date at 30-0. Next, it's the social media enhanced battle between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury in an eight round cruiserweight battle in Saudi Arabia on PPV. The fighters met the media Thursday and T.J. and Dan have the latest on that and the fight itself. How much respect must we give Jake Paul, if he wins or will the half brother of Tyson Fury pull the upset to derail Paul's plans and momentum in the ring? There's fight news to go over, as well, including Conor Benn's latest excuse for his positive drug test last year that still has him sidelined. While the WBC has heard from Benn and largely believes how he got a banned substance in his system, Dan says "not so fast," as the British authorities haven't re-instated Benn after his positive test before the fight he was to have had with Chris Eubank Jr. Finally, there's some nostalgia on the third anniversary of Tyson Fury re-capturing part of the heavyweight title by defeating WBC champ Deontay Wilder by TKO in February 2020. Dan was there ringside to give more on it. It's all part of the latest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast" and make sure you are following/subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!
