Garner eyes history, 'Boots' in the swing: Five things to look out for this week
Ryan Garner will hope to take a step towards achieving his world title dream when he faces off with Michael Magnesi this Saturday.
The Southampton native headlines a massive homecoming at St Mary's Stadium, with the WBC interim super-featherweight belt on the line.
Victory will mark the summit of an impressive career path so far for the star, though he will be wary of the threat the Italian holds against him.
Yet the duo are not the only names who will be expected to make headlines, on what promises to be another busy week of boxing action too.
Sparks fly as Zayas and Ennis meet
Relive DAZN FACE OFF here
Here, DAZN News looks ahead to the week in boxing and picks out five key stories to keep an eye on over the next seven days.
Garner set for title tussle
Last year's domestic sweep against Reece Bellotti felt like the kind of result that could put 'The Piranha' on the world-level map.
Now, he has the chance to rubber-stamp his place as a top operator, and at his dream location too in the shape of his hometown.
Garner will arrive as the favourite to prevail, but the odds remain pretty short on Magnesi too, who brings hard experience to bear.
'Boots' steps up prep work
With Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez setting America alight last weekend, it's going to be the turn of Jaron Ennis soon enough to follow him.
The latter's challenge against unified light-middleweight champion Xander Zayas next week has fight-of-the-year written all over it.

Should Ennis prevail, he can add two-weight champion status to his list of accomplishments. Expect this one to be a proper firefight.
Is Fury-Joshua on the ropes?
Anthony Joshua's focus is purely on Kristian Prenga for now - but the ongoing drama of his bout with Tyson Fury continues to roll on.
It seemed a formality that the two would meet by the end of 2026, and the likelihood remains strong - but a promotional war is brewing.
Zuffa honcho Dana White suggests he is pulling the purse strings over both Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn. Will some clarity arrive?
Itauma and Benn play waiting game
Two contrasting British fighters appear to still be waiting for fights seen as foregone conclusions to get the rubber-stamp treatment too.
Queensberry/Leigh Dawney
Moses Itauma had hoped to be out in early August against Filip Hrgovic, but there remains seemingly no movement for the heavyweight.
Conor Benn meanwhile is clamouring for Ryan Garcia to confirm his WBC welterweight title shot, provisionally set for September too.
Opetaia remains hungry for belts
Jai Opetaia may have lost his IBF strap after his Zuffa defection, but the Australian still insists he can become undisputed at cruiserweight.
The thorny relationship between the upstart promotion and the sport's traditional sanctioning bodies would suggest it is an unlikely pursuit.
But the Australian's steadfast belief he can get his hands on all of the major straps could suggest a thaw if the latter were to agree to it too.
