While big fights dominate boxing headlines, there’s nothing like a packed weekend slate for a fight fan. That’s exactly the case this weekend, with three intriguing events set for Saturday.Two of those events will take place in Texas, with Stephanie Han defending her WBA lightweight title against former boxing and UFC champion Holly Holm in El Paso, while the other event is headlined by O’Shaquie Foster vs. Raymond Ford, with Foster’s WBC junior lightweight title on the line in Houston.The third event set for Saturday features pound-for-pound mainstay Dmitry Bivol putting his WBA and IBF light heavyweight titles up for grabs against mandatory challenger Michael Eifert.Let’s take a quick look at each event, along with a prediction for each main event.
Dmitry Bivol vs. Michael EifertWhile Bivol has long been considered one of the best fighters in the world, he broke through to the larger mainstream audience with his brilliant 2022 victory over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. The win over Alvarez was also a key moment that helped Bivol and Artur Beterbiev finally share the ring for a long-awaited clash to crown an undisputed light heavyweight champion.Bivol dropped the first fight with Beterbiev, suffering the first defeat of his career in a brilliant tactical battle with a somewhat controversial decision. A rematch only made sense, and Bivol took the victory with another brilliant performance, becoming undisputed champion for the first time in his career.Bivol has since vacated the WBC championship after failing to make a WBC-ordered fight with David Benavidez, but remains the true king of the division.
Eifert fights out of Germany and battled his way to a mandatory contendership spot for the IBF. Since losing to Tom Dzemski in 2020, Eifert has rattled off seven straight victories.The only particularly notable name on Eifert’s resume is Jean Pascal, whom Eifert defeated in 2023. Another concern for Eifert heading into the fight is ring rust, as Eifert has not fought since August 2024 and now has to step in against one of the best fighters on the planet.Pick: Dmitry Bivol via UD
