The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be “fight hour” somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the most up-to-date information on the most relevant must-see fights in this week-at-a-glance, one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a useful nuts-and-bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we’re aiming for.
Here are this week’s most relevant fights:

Friday 25 October – Graakjaer Arena, Holstebro, Denmark
Dina Thorslund vs. Terumi Nuki – Women’s Bantamweight – 10 rounds
One of The Ring’s first women’s champions and one of the world’s best pound-for-pound fighters sees action in another domestic bout with no international telecast available. Let’s hope those last two situations change soon.
Also on this map:
Oliver Zaren vs. Roberto Arriaza – Super Middleweight – 8 rounds
Melissa Mortensen vs Gabriella Mezei – Women’s Featherweight – 6 rounds
Saturday 26 October – Co-op Live Arena, Manchester, England
Jack Catterall vs. Regis Prograis – junior welterweight – 12 rounds
A bad blood match that has been brewing for a long time is finally here. Catterall wants to secure the respect of the world as one of the world’s best in a talent-laden division. Prograis will look to regain lost ground in that same list that once had him closer to the top than the bottom, where he is now. The winner will no doubt move back into multi-million-dollar purse territory.

Reece Bellotti vs. Michael Gomez Jr. – junior lightweight – 12 rounds
