Friday, October 17th
DAZN, 2:00 pm ET: Kieron Conway vs. George Liddard takes center stage at York Hall in London. This middleweight battle isn’t just about belts—it’s a clash of experience versus youth. Conway, riding a 5-0 streak since his 2022 loss to Ammo Williams, defends his domestic titles against the undefeated Liddard, who’s racked up as many KOs in 12 fights as Conway has in 27. Bold prediction: Liddard could be the dark horse to watch in the middleweight division. But can he dethrone the more seasoned Conway? BLH will keep you updated live.

TrillerTV+, 9:00 am ET: Clash of Nations: Islamabad Showdown brings boxing to Pakistan, but with 13 out of 17 fights featuring TBA opponents, this event is more about the spectacle than the star power. Still, keep an eye on Romania’s Ion “The Machine Gun Mario” Boboc—a middleweight with a nickname that’s as sharp as his punches. No guarantees he’ll make the broadcast, but if he does, it’ll be worth the watch.
DAZN, 3:00 pm ET: Dream Boxing in Hamburg, Germany, features a 105 lbs. unification bout between WBO champ Sarah Bormann and WBA champ Yuko Kuroki. Meanwhile, 44-year-old Rydell Booker steps into the ring, hoping to break his 1-8-1 slump. Controversial take: Is Booker’s continued presence in the ring a testament to his passion or a reminder of boxing’s darker side?
Millions.Co, 6:00 pm ET: Farewell to Brooklyn marks Danny Garcia’s final fight, as he faces Danny Gonzalez. The undercard includes Damian Knyba, Dominique Crowder, Gabe Rosado, and the always-entertaining Chris Colbert. At $39.99 for the PPV, it’s your chance to say goodbye to a legend—and guess what color Colbert’s hair will be this time. Question for the audience: Is Garcia’s farewell fight a must-watch, or is the price tag too steep for a sentimental send-off?
DAZN, 8:00 pm ET: Most Valuable Prospects 16 heads to South Padre Island, Texas, for two women’s championship fights. WBC junior flyweight champ Lourdes Juarez battles Yesica Nery Plata, while unified middleweight champ Desley Robinson faces Logan Holler. And if the fights don’t deliver? There’s always Clayton’s for post-fight entertainment. Fun fact: South Padre Island might not be a boxing hotspot, but its Spring Break brawls are the stuff of legend.
Sunday, October 19th
DAZN, 11:00 am ET: The WBC Boxing Grand Prix Semi-Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, wraps up the weekend with eight fights across four divisions. Each bout is scheduled for six rounds, setting the stage for December’s finals. And this is the part most people miss: While the event itself is high-stakes, it’s also a reminder of the complex relationship between sports and geopolitics.
