Dubois backed as heavyweight face
Daniel Dubois can become the face of heavyweight boxing once Oleksandr Usyk hangs up his gloves, with sister Caroline backing her estranged brother.
The Briton is set to defend his WBO belt this October against old foe Fabio Wardley, having taken the belt from him in May to become a two-time champ.
But speaking to The Ring, WBC and WBO lightweight champion Dubois has tipped her sibling for more glory amid "crazy, dangerous names in the mix."
"The best thing is that Daniel's up there," she said. "He's one of the best names. He's definitely going to be the future face of the heavyweight division for sure.”
Could Hrgovic face Verhoeven?
IBF star Filip Hrgovic has been tipped to face ex-WBC challenger Rico Verhoeven, after the duo were paired on a wishlist for His Excellency Turki Alalshikh.
The Croatian stunned Moses Itauma to earn his maiden heavyweight crown last month in London, and is due to face mandatory foe Frank Sanchez next.
Matchroom BoxingHrgovic has chafed at the idea, instead pushing for unification opportunities - but the star could be persuaded to face a former Oleksandr Usyk rival instead.
Each man was matched on a list reported by journalist Mike Coppinger as part of a broad slate of super-bouts envisioned by the Saudi sports powerbroker.
Stevenson open to Benn dance
Shakur Stevenson admits he has "unfinished business" against Ryan Garcia, and would relish a chance to reignite a rivalry with his former amateur rival.
The pound-for-pound star has long been linked to a clash with the latter, who defended his WBC welterweight crown against Conor Benn on Saturday night.
Speaking to Paramount+, Stevenson expressed interest in taking Garcia as a dance partner once more, suggesting it could be a major blockbuster affair.
“I would love to fight him," he stated on a bout. "Me and him have unfinished business. I’m one of the best in the sport and he’s one of the best in the sport.”
