It's another jammed pay per view from Saudi Arabia and we're ready to go over the "5 vs. 5" card, including the heayweight main event Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang on our newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives returns with Dan Rafael, insider of BigFightWeekend.com to give their insight, analysis and predictions on what they think will happen in this latest stacked card featuring mostly the figher's from Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions and Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing going head to head. Wilder, the former WBC champ, was kayed twice by Tyson Fury and most recently looked poorly against Joseph Parker. The big punching Zhang has two huge ko's over Joe Joyce but is 41 years old and also off a loss to Parker earlier this year. One fighter will stay relevant in the big picture, while the loser is basically done on the big stage.There is also an intriguing Filip Hrgovic vs. Daniel Dubois heavyweight battle, where the winner will likely end up as the full IBF heavyweight champ sometime soon. And, the underrated Ray Ford vs. Nick Ball WBA featherweight title fight gets some good discussion on the show, too.We have fight news involving Mike Tyson's health scare while flying from Mami to L.A. last weekend and will that end up being a medical concern for his bout with Jake Paul in July? Plus, will Canelo Alvarez actually fight the unkonwn fighter that the IBF is trying to order him to fight, rather than either working something out with him financially or vacating that verison of his super middleweight superemacy?Then, we conclude with some nostalgia on the anniversaries of former multi-division world champ Johhny Tapia's passing, a huge upset for American Vince Phillips over a hall of famer and T.J. and Dan talk the 42 anniversary and some great trivia of the 3rd installment of Sylvester Stallone's epic fictoional fight movies- "Rocky III." It's all part of the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker Spotify, Google, etc.!
