It's our latest edition of the podcast in the preview mode, as we have controversy in Newark, NJ and a heavyweight showdown in Manchester, England. Both, as part of the "Big Fight Weekend Preview."Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com to go over some news and then get to the fights.First, the guys discuss how Shakur Stevenson has already been stripped of his two 130 lb. world titles for missing weight on Thursday afternoon. This was to have been a huge homecoming fight for the Jersey native Stevenson, but now he's humiliated by being overweight. Dan goes over it all, including what it means for Brazil's Robson Conceicao fighting him.Next, some very informative and combative comments from Dan on his reporting on the disappointing Canelo-GGG III pay per view numbers in the U.S./North America. Dan rebuts Matchroom's Eddie Hearn and DAZN trying to spin the numbers to include worldwide audience, that in some cases didn't have to buy the PPV to see the fight. Finally, the guys discuss the Stevenson-Conceicao card and also the Joe Joyce battle with the Joseph Parker for the WBO Interim Heavwyweight title from Manchester, England. Will Joyce get another key win to remain unbeaten and assure a potential matchup with Oleksandr Usyk next year? Or does the veteran Park pull the upset?Also on this card women's world featherweight champ Amanda Serrano from New York has traveled to the U.K. to defend her titles and aim for an undisputed lightweight showdown rematch with Ireland's Katie Taylor.Hear it all on the latest "Big Fight Weekend Preview" and make sure that you are following/subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/big-fight-weekend/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
