Get ready for a thrilling weekend of boxing action! But first, let's dive into the schedule and uncover some hidden gems in the ring.
The Main Event: Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley
On Saturday, October 25th, boxing fans will witness an intriguing heavyweight clash. Joseph Parker, the WBO interim champion, takes on Fabio Wardley, the WBA interim titleholder. But here's the twist: neither fighter holds the full championship belt! The undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk, looms large over the division. So, is this interim vs. interim showdown worth the price of admission? The PPV price tag is set at a hefty $59.99. But wait, there's more to consider...
The Undercard: Will It Pack a Punch?
The undercard features Lewis Edmonson's return to the ring, defending his British light heavyweight belt. But is that enough to entice fans? Well, there's also a vacant IBO cruiserweight title on the line, with an Albanian and a Cameroonian fighter vying for glory. Will these matchups spark your interest?
Global Action: From Bangkok to California
On the same night, TrillerTV PPV presents the Global Boxing Series from Bangkok, Thailand. With 15 matchups featuring Thai and Filipino fighters, it's a global affair. And let's not forget about the regular TrillerTV+ Fight Club OC on Thursday, bringing boxing and MMA action from California.
