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:
Thursday, September 19 – Yakama Legends Casino, Toppenish, Wash.
Mandeep Jangra vs Nilo Guerrero – Junior Lightweight – 10 rounds
Dominique Roundtree vs Roberto Canto – Featherweight – 6 rounds
Keon Papillion vs Rondale Hubbert – Junior Middleweight – 6 rounds
Nelson Guerrero vs. Levale Whittington – Junior Featherweight – 4 rounds

Friday, September 20 – Desert Diamond Arena, Glendale, Ariz.
Jaime Munguia vs. Erik Bazinyan – super middleweight – 12 rounds
The ultimate crossroads, and perhaps the hidden gem of the weekend. Munguia’s phenomenal ascent was halted by Canelo Alvarez in a humbling performance, and Bazinyan’s time to stand up or shut up is upon him after being raised on softball in Canada and nearly ending his last Test with a dubious draw failed. Expect fireworks. I definitely do.
Also on this map:
Richard Torrez Jr. vs Joey Dawejko – Heavyweight – 8 rounds
Jorge Garcia Perez vs. Ilias Essaoudi – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
Emiliano Vargas vs. Larry Fryers – Junior Welterweight – 8 rounds
Charlie Suarez vs. Jorge Castaneda – junior lightweight – 10 rounds
Alan Garcia vs Ricardo Fernandez – Lightweight – 8 rounds
Demler Zamora vs Gerardo Perez – Junior Lightweight – 8 rounds
Where to watch it: ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN+
Friday, September 20 – 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland
Callum Walsh vs. Przemyslaw Runowski – junior middleweight – 10 rounds
A long-awaited homecoming for the former Irish amateur superstar. The boxing-mad island knows that Walsh might be the next big thing, and the atmosphere is likely to reflect that support. Expect Walsh to fight for a belt sometime in 2025.
Also on this map:
Ali Akhmedov vs Pierre Hubert Dibombe – super middleweight – 10 rounds
Emmett Brennan vs Kevin Cronin – Super Middleweight – 8 rounds
Thomas Carty vs Jonathan Vergara – Heavyweight – 8 rounds
Craig O’Brien vs. Edward Donovan – junior middleweight – 8 rounds
Shauna O’Keefe vs. Valgerdur Gudsteinsdottir – Women’s Lightweight – 4 rounds

Friday, September 20 – Wind Creek Events Ctr., Bethlehem, Pa.
Matt Conway vs James Bernadin – Lightweight – 8 rounds
Euri Cedeno vs Aro Schwartz – middleweight – 8 rounds
Julian Gonzalez vs Oscar Barajas – Junior Lightweight – 8 rounds
Saturday 21 September – Wembley Stadium, London
Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua – Heavyweight – 12 rounds
It’s a heavyweight title fight in England between two local heroes. It hardly gets better than that from a promotional standpoint. We’re about to find out if the hype was justified. They’ve both had their share of wars and snoozers, but it looks like this one is headed for the ultimate bragging rights fight of the year. Dubois’ IBF belt is on the line, but the real stakes are even higher for both of them.

Tyler Denny vs Hamzah Sheeraz – Middleweight – 12 rounds
Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington – Junior Lightweight – 12 rounds
