After the disappointing bouts on Friday we'd like to say that Saturday is a better day for Heavyweight action. Sadly however that still doesn't suggest the day is going to be a good one for the division.
Arguably the most interesting fight of the day comes from Mike Tyson's much hated "Bolivian" as the much experienced Billy Wright (44-4, 35) battles the heavy handed Gilberto Matheus Domingos (22-2, 20) for a variety of regional titles. To say we care about either of these men would be a life though it would be nice for the fighter to fade into Bolivian and take these random paper belts with them.
On the same card we actually do have a Bolivian title fight as reigning champion Saul Farah (50-18-3, 44) defends his belt against the win-less (you can't make this crap up) challenger John Okita Popeye (0-4). We've never seen Popeye (the fighter, not the cartoon) though one would assume that he's going to need more than just some spinach to pick up a win here.
The next most notable bout takes place in the with unbeaten giant Gary Cornish (18-0, 10) battling another man we really hope would fade into "Bolivian", Larry Olubamiwo (10-7, 9). We refuse to accept Olubamiwo as a boxer. To us he's a shit-stain on the sport and should have been given a lifetime ban for his cheating, thankfully though it seems like he's currently going through a series of beat down, quit jobs and various other in ring issues in an attempt to make us pity him. Larry could suffer a KO loss every day for the rest of his life and we'd not give him sympathy for the risks he put other fighters through.
We do wonder how Olubamiwo's drugs would match up with Popeye's spinach...
Moving on...
Also in the UK will be a bout between the debutin Dave Jones (0-0) and tough journeyman Moses Matovu (5-44-4). Matovu is tough but we expect Jones to do enough to get a win in his locker here (see what we did there? Dave Jones...Locker...hahahaha).
A third UK bout is expected to see the unbeaten Adam Machaj (4-0, 3) take on a yet to be named opponent. We like Machaj but fighting TBA's on 3 days notice needs to be put into Bolivian, especially considering the fact Machaj is actually really talented!
In Germany David Wilken (0-0) will make his debut against Nedeljko Cvorovic (0-1) we don't know anything about these two though we hope we never need to pronounce or type "Nedeljko Cvorovic" again any time soon.
In the US we have two bouts at at a low level. One of those will be a female bout between Sonya Three Fox (2-0, 1) and Saxon Harrison (0-1) whilst the other will be an all debutant bout between Shaun Holiday (0-0) and Laquan Williams (0-0). Not much to say here other than that they look even on paper.

Upcoming bouts: Friday September 5th-Wallisch and Davtaev in action
This Friday sees the boxing world turning their attention to Tokyo for one of the best fights possible to make in the sport. Sadly that leaves the Heavyweight division looking relatively poor by comparison, though the division will still have some fighters of note in action.
Arguably the most important Heavyweight bout of the day will be in Germany where Michael Wallisch (12-0, 8) battles the very limited journeyman Edgars Kalnars (27-30, 18). On paper Kalnars looks poor in reality however he's much worse and Wallisch, at this point in his career, shouldn't be wasting time with crapfests like this. Aged 28 it's time the unbeaten German shit or got off the pot, though it does appear that he's currently suffering from a case of boxing constipation having been inactive in recent times.
Another fighter who should be fighting at a higher level than he is this weekend is Apti Davtaev (7-0, 7) who is wasting his time with the debuting Andrey Zapisov (0-0). Yes it's two unbeaten men in the ring together but we don't see why Davtaev, a rotund but heavy handed fighter, cannot get himself a better opponent than a debutant! Eurgh
The closest to an "even" bout that the division gets this Friday is in Serbia as the limited Bekim Pagga (4-5, 2) fights the win-less Sasa Dajic (0-3). Dajic has been stopped in all 3 of his losses and we're expecting him to suffer another stoppage loss here however this bout looks more interesting than the other two mismatches. Not saying a lot but this is the dire state of the Heavyweight division right now.

Results: Saturday August 30th-Boytsov struggles Wallin wins!
This past weekend was certainly not a great day in the Heavyweight division though we did get a few notable men in action.
German fans got to the chance to see two Heavyweight bouts for the price of one in Nordhein-Wesfalen. One of those bouts saw the once promising Denis Boytsov (34-1, 26) forced to go 10 rounds en route to claiming a unanimous decision over Timur Musafarov (6-2, 5). This was a huge step back from where Boytsov would have hoped he was after 35 fights and although he got the win he far from impressive.
The other contest saw the very promising Otto Wallin (7-0, 5) score a 4th round stoppage against the heavy handed but limited Maksym Pedyura (14-7-1, 12). The win was a solid one on paper and was another good step up for Wallin who we really like. We know he's still a boxing baby but this sort of step up is the sort of thing that he needs at this point.
In Argentina fans got the chance to see the debuting Leandro Daniel Robutti (1-0) take a clear and decisive victory over Juan Ramon Fernandez (2-1, 2). Fernandez was dropped in the opening round and deducted a point in round 3 to make the decision a very clear cut one.

Upcoming bouts: Saturday August 30th-Wallin and Boytsov in action
Although there isn't a lot of interesting bouts this weekend we do have a handful of interesting Heavyweight bouts. One of those bouts will see Otto Wallin (6-0, 4) stepping up to fight Maksym Pedyura (14-6-1, 12) in what appears to be a good test for the unbeaten youngster. We do really like Wallin and it's clear he has real promise though hopefully he will manage to live up to his potential.
Sadly on the same card we get to see Denis Boytsov (33-1, 26) effectively admit he'll never reach his once highly expected peak. Following his loss to Alex Leapia we will see Boytsov fighting against Timur Musafarov (6-1, 5) in what appears to be a confidence builder for Boytsov though a further waste of time for the fringe contender.
One of the more interesting fights is in Canada as Didier Bence (9-1, 3) taking on Rob Nichols (6-1-1, 4). This will be Bence's first bout since being stopped by Eric Martel Bahoeli last November and with Nichols having power we may see something similar here. Another bout on this show will see Sylvera Louis (5-3, 2) fighting against the unbeaten Fred Latham (4-0-1, 2) in a relatively intriguing low level bout.
One of the most disappointing bouts will see James Hammortree (5-0, 5) who will be taking on the win-less Antonio Robertson (0-5-1). Unfortunately it's hard to see how interesting Hammortree actually is as his opponents are frankly awful, as they are again here. On the same card we'll see another relatively unexciting contest as Derek Walker (1-12) battles the win-less Shamar Davis (0-1)
In Germany we get two more bouts though neither looks to be interesting. One will see Helge Rippe (2-1, 1) in action and the other will see Taras Varava (2-6, 1) though neither have yet had opponents named.
One other bout will be an all debutant bout in Argentina as Juan Fernandez (0-0) battles against Luis Robutti (0-0)

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 29th-Nothing big this Friday, sadly
This Friday doesn't look like a great day in the Heavyweight division but there will be 2 bouts in the division.
In Germany fans will get the chance to see novices colliding as Deniz Koezig (1-0, 1) takes on Muslim Benkacimi (1-1). Although Koezig won his debut it was almost impossible to say anything positive as both Koezig and his debut opponent Matthias Eichler both looked more like out-of-shape drunks than professional athletes. Unfortunately Benkacimi also appears to be an out of shape Heavyweight.
Another bout that takes place on the same day will see Jarad Treloar (1-4) taking on Thomas Peato (1-1) in a bout that will not particularly excite anyone in the boxing world. This bout, in Australia, is a 6 rounder though neither man will be expected to go far.

Upcoming bouts: Tuesday August 26th-Farah Vs Fernandez II, oooh how exciting!
Midweek fights don't tend to be hugely exciting and this Tuesday doesn't appear to change that as Bolivian veteran Saul Farah (50-18-3, 44) takes on novice Bernardino Fernandez (2-1). This will be Farah's 15th defense of his Bolivian Heavyweight title and we really cannot see Fernandez over-coming Farah's.
Interestingly this is a rematch 4 years in the making and Farah inflicted Fernandez's only loss so far, way back in June 2010.

Upcoming bouts: Saturday August 23rd-Briggs takes on Phelps
This Saturday is a quiet day in world boxing though it's very disappointing in terms of Heavyweight action.
The most notable bout of the day sees the heavy handed Shannon Briggs (55-6-1-1, 48) continue his campaign of fighting scrubs to get a world title fight. This week's "Victim of Briggs" will be Cory Phelps (16-6-1, 8), a former Super Middleweight who has been stopped 5 times in 23 bouts with all 5 of those stoppages coming inside 2 rounds. Briggs might talk the talk about doing "what the chap does" but this is genuinely a disgrace for Briggs to be fighting such over-matched foes whilst talking the big talk.
Briggs isn't the only notable Heavyweight in action in the US and in another fight Ty Cobb (17-5, 10) will be taking on the infamous Richard Dawson (5-1-2, 3). Dawson may not be as experienced as Cobb but is certainly more infamous courtesy of his bout with Englishman Freddie Fintoff. Flintoff managed to take a decision over Dawson before retiring though it did appear that Dawson was holding back and had been told to "help" Flintoff. With that in mind we favour Dawson here who is much better than he looked against the Englishman.
Another US bout will see Joe Cusumano (7-1, 5) taking on Randy Easton (2-3-1, 2). Cusumano isn't the greatest but should easily over-come Easton here. This is the least interesting of the 3 Heavyweight bouts in the states.
In Brazil we have two bouts both on the same card. The most interesting of those bouts will see Vanderlei De Oliveira (16-4, 15) battle against the unbeaten Romildo Dos Santos (7-0, 6) in a 10 round bout for the International Boxing Council Americas title. Both of these guys appear to have power though of course with the Brazilian fight scene it's hard to know just how good either man really is and neither is coming into this bout with much in terms of activity.
The other Heavyweight bout will see Fernando De Oliveira (15-8, 13) taking on Jose Augusto Dos Santos (15-9, 15) in what should be another explosive encounter despite neither man being particularly great. Sometimes the match ups can be better at this level though of course the skills on show are usually limited.
The rest of the action is in Germany where we expect a trio of Heavyweight bouts.
One bout will be an all-debutant bout as Mike Weser (0-0) takes on Sascha Buetzow (0-0) whilst we are also expecting Alexander Frank (3-0, 2) and Andrei Mazanik (9-6, 8) to be in action though against yet to be named opponents.

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 22nd-The day of Unbeaten Fighters!
Heavyweight action returns in a pretty interesting way this weekend with a number of unbeaten Heavyweights in action.
In Canada fans will get the chance to see the promising and heavy handed Oscar Rivas (13-0, 8). Rivas, a Colombian based in Canada, has explosive power that has faltered in some whats in his career with injuries and other issues. We're hoping Rivas is full recuperated from his out of the ring issues and managed to make light work of Mexican Daniel Cota (17-4-1, 10) and get his career back in track with out any more issues.
Rivas isn't the only unbeaten prospect in action in North America and in the US we several more unbeaten and interesting hopefuls in action.
The most notable of those Heavyweight hopefuls is Gerald Washington (13-0, 10) who will be taking on the tough and testing Nagy Aguilera (19-8, 13). Aguilera isn't a serious threat to a top guy but if you're not going places he will really show you up and, on his day, he is a real banana skin. Sadly for Aguilera we feel that Washington is a very good prospects and we'd not be shocked if Aguilera suffers his third stoppage loss.
On the ESPN "Friday Night Fights" card we have 2 more unbeaten prospects. The most notable of those is second generation fighter Michael Hunter (5-0, 3) who will be hoping to come out on top against the experienced Harvey Jolly (14-21-1, 7) . We'd expected Hunter to over-come Jolly but it's a great test considering how much of a novice pro Hunter is. The other is Danny Kelly (6-0-1, 5) who is very heavy handed though will be up against the tough Avery Gibson (3-4-2, 1). Gibson might not be a "winner" in terms of his record though has proven to be a tough ask. Going in to this bout Gibsin holds a notable win over Olympian Ytalo Pera and has gone the distance in losses to Razvan Cojanu and Bogdan Dinu.
Another unbeaten Heavyweight is Ruann Visser (1-0, 1) who will be hoping to extend his winning run as he takes on professional tomato can Eric Lindsey (3-13-0-1, 1). Without a win in 7 years and with 5 successive stoppage losses on his record Lindsey is there to do no more than make up the numbers, something he is likely to do with no complaints.
In Ohio we're expecting to see Armando Ancona (6-2-1, 5) and Tim Washington (3-3, 3) both in action though not against each other. Sadly neither man has a penciled in opponent so far so we don't expect either man to face any even semi interesting.

Upcoming bouts: Saturday August 16th-A stay busy day for unbeaten Americans
Most of the day's Heavyweight action is in the US where almost all the notable action takes place.
The biggest bout of the day is sadly little more than a stay busy fight as the highly regarded Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31) takes on journeyman Jason Gavern (25-16-4, 11). Whilst we don't blame Wilder for taking a "stay busy" fight this is unfortunately very similar to his previous 31 bouts and we feel more anger at him getting a world title fight than actually having this bout. Funny world this boxing business. On the same card as this bout Dominic Breazeale (11-0, 10) will be fighting against veteran Billy Zumbrun (27-13-1-1, 16) in another bout that makes little sense for the unbeaten man, other than to pad his record.
In North Carolina Ray Edwards (7-0, 4), the Minnesota Viking's NFL player, will be fighting against the debuting Djaun Hughey (0-0). Edwards looks to be a boxing fraud and match ups like this continue to develop that idea. On the same card Chris Hancock (7-0, 3) will be in action though his opponent hasn't been named, sadly though we're not getting a bout between Edwards and Hancock, that one would have made sense.
One more US bout will see Trey Lippe (3-0, 3), the son of Tommy Morrison, attempt to extend his winning run.
In a very, very low level bout in Argentina fans will get the chance to see the win-less Juan Enrique Hidalgo (0-1) battle the debuting Cristian Suarez (0-0). Hard to say much about this one given the men involved but hopefully it'll be competitive and not a blow out either way.
It's not just the Argentinian's getting low level Heavyweight action because in Canada fans will get the chance to see Ty McDougall (2-4-2, 1) take on Chad Neilson (1-3, 1). Whilst little is really know about these two neither man tends to take a shot particularly well so this may be over early.
Another low level bout, though a more interesting one, will see Renato Blitz (2-0, 1) battle against fellow unbeaten Martin Edelmann (2-0, 1). We favour Croatia's Blitz's but this is a notable test for both men given the early stages of their career.
Yet another low level and less than exciting bout will see Ben Wrotniak (5-1, 1) battling against Wlodzimierz Letr (2-3, 1). We've got to concede this is one we're struggling to care about, especially given hat Wrotniak lost last time out to Oscar Siale.

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 15th-A poor day lacking in notable action
This coming Friday is a less than great day in the Heavyweight division, but there are still a handful of fights that take place.
The most notable fighter in action will be Argentinian veteran Gonzalo Omar Basile (63-8-0-1, 29) who will be looking for win #64 as he takes on the very limited Walter David Cabral (18-10, 8) in an all Buenos Aires affair. With a combined age of 84 it's clear neither of these men will be going far but it's still an interesting domestic battle for Argentinian fan.
In New York American fight fans get a pair of low level but somewhat interesting contests. The better of those two bouts will see Kimdo Bethel Boykin (7-1, 5) fighting against Aaron Kinch (5-3-1, 1). Neither man is great but the bout should be pretty competitive, despite Kinch losing 3 of his last 4. The other will be between the once beaten Brian Clookey (6-1-2, 3) and the very limited Eric George (2-6). Again neither man is likely to go far in their career but it could give the fans a nice 4 rounder before the main part of the show.
Staying in the US fans in California will get the chance to see Makani Sarellano (2-1, 2) take on Andrew Tinae (0-2) in a very poor looking undercard bout.
Another low level bout takes place in Mexico as Rafael Rios (1-0) takes on a yet to be named opponent.

Although the Heavyweight action on Thursday and Friday was limited there is much more action on Saturday and better yet it includes an awful lot of interesting fights.
The most interesting of of that action all takes place in Pennsylvania where we get a trio of Heavyweight bouts all worthy of note.
The first of that trio will see the unbeaten Tyrell Wright (5-0, 4) battle against the limited Randy Easton (2-2-1, 2). The bout isn't great on paper but it's a step up for Wright who has been matched far too easily so far. Wright has power it seems but against his competition so far it's hard to say just how legitimate that power really is.
Although unconvinced by Wright we have been very impressed by big punching New Zealander Joseph Parker (9-0, 8) who will be fighting against Keith Thompson (7-2, 4). For Parker this will be his US televised debut and his second bout in the US in total. We'd expect him to make a very good impression here and if he wins in style, like we expect, the odds are he will be back in the US in the near future.
The remaining bout on this show will see Vyacheslav Glazkov (17-0-1, 11) taking on Derric Rossy (29-8, 14) in what should be an easy win for Glazkov. The unbeaten Ukrainian is heading towards a world title fight though will need to perform well here to get the sort of backing he would want going into a bout with Wladimir Klitschko. Talented but "boring" Glazkov has shown some fantastic traits at times but looks likely to fall short at, or around, the fringes of world class. Rossey however is little more than a journeyman.
Still in the US, albeit in Washington, D.C, we get another Heavyweight bout as Stan Williamson (1-0, 1) stakes his unbeaten record against the debuting William Chaplin (0-0). Little to say here other than that at 6'7" Williamson is a giant of a fighter and really is a striking fighter to see.
One more bout of note takes place in Russia as the debuting Pavel Doroshilov (0-0) battles against British veteran Danny Williams (46-22-0-2, 35). We don't know much about the Russian debutant but making a debut against a fighter like Williams, even a shot Williams, is still pretty impressive.

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 8th-Zhang Zhilei makes his debut!
For a second day running the Heavyweight action is limited though on Friday we do get one of the most highly anticipated debuts in a very long time, that of Chinese amateur stand out Zhang Zhilei (0-0) who will kicking off his professional career with a bout against Curtis Lee Tate (7-4, 6). The debut is expected to be televised on ESPN and the expectation is that Zhilei could be a real force in the sport, especially when you consider that he is being backed by some notable players and being trained by some very big names.
The only other bout scheduled to take place will see the unbeaten Nathan Luis Rosa (1-0, 1) battle against the very limited John Moxey (2-3, 1) in a low level bout in Minnesota.

Upcoming bouts: ThursdayAugust 7th-Reyna Vs Smith
There isn't much Heavyweight action this Thursday though the Fox Sports card in the US will see the heavy handed Ernest Reyna (4-1, 3) facing off against novice Dominique Smith (1-1-1, 1). The bout is unlikely to be televised and very unlikely to be anything special though with Reyna we do expect action, even if bouts don't tend to be the most skilled.

Upcoming bouts: Saturday August 2nd-A day of low level action
This Saturday is mostly about the fighters from the lower weights but there are some interesting lower level Heavyweight bouts.
The most interesting, at least for us, is in New Jersey as the Polish born American Adam Kownacki (6-0, 6) takes on his first opponent with a winning record, Charles Ellis (9-1-1, 8). The big punching Ellis is nothing special but he will be Kownacki's biggest test so far and should be able to tell us something about the unbeaten prospect.
On the same card in New Jersey Joey Dawejko (10-3-2, 3) will be battling against David Williams (7-8-2, 2). We can't see anything but a win for the under-rated Dawejko but we think he may need to work for it.
There will also be a double header in Iowa. The "main event" will see the heavy handed but china chinned Travis Fulton (21-37-1, 20) taking on journeyman Alex Rozman (2-7, 1). Rozman was seen in the ring just a few weeks ago being stopped by the debuting Chinese giant Taishan Dong and we'd expect a similar fate here, though Fulton is very poor.
The other bout on this card will see the promising Donovan Dennis (9-1-1, 8) taking on Jamal Woods (4-12-3, 4). This will be Dennis's first bout since he was stopped by Nat Heaven and it's little wonder why it's an easy one.
In a female bout fans will get the chance to see Sonya Lamonakis (9-1-2, 1) fighting against Carlette Ewell (15-7-1, 9) in a bout for the vacant IBO Female Heavyweight title. Lamonakis will be the clear favourite here but she was held to a draw when the two fought back in 2012.

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 1st-Lucas Browne Vs Andriy Rudenko headline the day
This coming Friday isn't a busy day in the Heavyweight division with only a handful of bouts but one contest really does stand out as a really decent one, at least on paper.
That stand out bout is in the UK as the fun to watch and very personable Lucas Browne (20-0, 18) battles against Ukraine's Andriy Rudenko (24-0, 16). The bout, for two regional titles, promises to be a really good fight for as long as it lasts though we really can't see past a Browne stoppage. We'll admit we are Browne "fans" though we understand his limitations and even with those he should still find his way past the protected Rudenko.
In Australia we get another battle of unbeaten fighters as Patrick Eneanya (1-0, 1) battles against Joel Clifton (1-0, 1). The bout isn't the mos attractive due to the inexperience of both men but it should still be a good one between two guys who won't be wanting to lose their unbeaten record this early in their career.
A third bout takes place in Mexico where the debuting Rafael Rios (0-0) fights against the win-less Edgar Najera (0-1). Hard to saw much about this one sadly though "Porky" Najera has been inactive for about 8 months following his debut last December.

Upcoming bouts: Saturday July 26th-A hectic day in the Heavyweight division!
This weeks boxing news has been almost entirely around one story, a heavyweight story of massive proportions. That was that Dereck Chisora (20-4, 13) had been forced out of his rematch with heated rival Tyson Fury (22-0, 16) due to a hand injury suffered late in training. Despite Chisora being forced out Fury has found a suitable replacement to be his opponent on the same show, the gigantic Alexander Ustinov (29-1, 21). Whilst it's good to see Fury in action, especially against a man his own size, it's a shame that we won't get to see the Brits colliding this week in what was, by far, the best bout of the weekend in regards to the division.
On the same card as the Fury/Ustinov bout fans will also get the chance to see Fury's stablemate Eddie Chambers (29-4, 21) in action against a former Fury opponent. Chambers, who has been working with Peter Fury for his last few fights, will be expected to do a number on Brazilian Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (17-6, 15) but the bout is a big step up compared to Chambers's recent opponents.
Whilst the most significant bout the of the day is off we do get another very important bout in the US as unbeaten fighters collide. In one corner is American hopeful Bryant Jennings (18-0, 10), a man some in the US view as the most promising active American in the division, in the other corner will be talented Cuban Mike Perez (20-0-1, 12). The men, battling for a WBC title shot will know that everything is at stake and hopefully we'll see the best from both men, though many do worry that Perez is only a shadow of the fighter he once was.
Staying in the US there is a swathe of Heavyweight action across the various levels. Amongst those bouts is a contest between Jason Bergman (23-10-2, 16) and the unbeaten Justin Jones (15-0-1, 9). This bout will be the second defence of the NABA USA Heavyweight title currently held by Bergman.
Another US title bout will see Jason Estrada (20-4, 6) fighting against yet another unbeaten fighter in the form of Steve Vukosa (8-0, 4). The bout, for the vacant USA New England Heavyweight title, looks good on paper but in reality Vukosa is a 37 year old who hasn't fought in in over a decade, needless to say he shouldn't have a chance, despite his pretty record.
Another low level bout in the US will feature the "stop or be stopped" Chris Vendola (6-5, 6) who has still never seen the final bell of a fight.
In Germany the very promising Tom Schwarz (7-0, 5) will be looking for win #8 as he takes on Olegs Lopajevs (8-9, 7) in a good test for Schwarz who is widely regarded as one of the best prospects in Europe, even if his hype is somewhat downplayed compared to Britain's Anthony Joshua.
On a separate German card there will be 4 bouts. One of those will see he unbeaten Agit Kabayel (10-0, 7) battling against the win-less Peter Boehm (0-4) in a complete mismatch. Another of the bouts will be an all debutant bout between Blerim Hajdari (0-0) and Sead Kahrovic (0-0). A third lower level under-card bout will feature Birkan Akyol (3-0, 1) fighting against Sascha Brinkmann (0-1). From what we understand British veteran Danny Williams (46-22-0-1, 35)
In Latvia of all places fans will get the chance to see Konstantin Airich (21-8-2, 17) taking on Denis Bakhtov (37-9, 25) in a solid sub-European level fight. Both of these two were once capable of scoring wins over fringe European level fighters.
In Brazil we expect to see veteran Raphael Zumbano Love (34-8-1, 27) in action and Mateus Roberto Osorio (6-1, 6) also in action, though neither man has yet to have his opponent announced.
In Australia novice professional Herman Ene Purcell (2-2, 1) fighting against Kyle Brumby (3-9-2, 1) in a 3 rounder.
Finally fans in New Caledonia will get the chance to see the unbeaten Temoo Tamaititahio (5-0, 3) battling against Tafa Misipati (1-3). This is a rematch between men who fought last year in a bout that Tamaitahio won by 6 round decision.
On the same card as the Fury/Ustinov bout fans will also get the chance to see Fury's stablemate Eddie Chambers (29-4, 21) in action against a former Fury opponent. Chambers, who has been working with Peter Fury for his last few fights, will be expected to do a number on Brazilian Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (17-6, 15) but the bout is a big step up compared to Chambers's recent opponents.

Upcoming bouts: Friday July 25th-Chinese action
This Friday is sadly a day lacking in Heavyweight action though we do still get a title fight in the division!
As far as we're aware all of action is in China where we get two bouts of note, the biggest of which is a bout between Razvan Cojanu (10-1, 5) and Manuel Alberto Pucheta (37-9, 30). Cojanu is a 6'7" Romanian who is on a 10 fight winning streak at a low level. Pucheta on the other hand is a 42 year Argentinian banger who has last 4 of his last 7 but stopped 5 of his last 9 inside 3 rounds. Pucheta is certainly dangerous though Cojanu will be the favourite. The funny thing about this bout, considering the background of the two men involved, is that this bout will be for the currently vacant WBO Asia Pacific Heavyweight title. If anyone can explain how that works we owe you a drink!
The other bout will see Chinese youngster Xia Shunkai (1-0, 1). Stood at 6'4" Shunhai might not be quite as tall as Taishan Dong but he is still a huge man and one who could have some potential if given the right type of development.

Upcoming bouts: Wednesday July 23rd-Unbeaten Martin battles Manswell
The much maligned US Heavyweight scene has been in the doldrums for quite a while and it's fair to say that when the Heavyweight scene is dead so to is the attention of a lot of casual fans. Despite the relatively weak US scene we are starting to see a new wave of interesting fighters lead by Deontay Wilder.
Amongst this new wave is the unbeaten and heavy handed Charles Martin (17-0-1, 15) who looks to continue his unbeaten run this Wednesday when he takes on Trinidad and Tobago's Kertson Manswell (24-8, 18). The bout, Martin's 5th of the year, will see him trying to record his 8th successive stoppage and arguably his highest profile.
Manswell was once viewed as a contender himself though his recent form has been appalling. He has lost 8 of his last 12 and 5 of his last 6. With that in mind w can't see anything but a win for Martin who does appear to be one of the most exciting US prospects in the Heavyweight division.
Whilst we'd like to slate Martin for his choice of opponent we need to accept that he is staying active and this will be his 9th bout in less than 12 months. That level of activity is brilliant and a few weak touches are to be expected when your fighting eevry 6 or so weeks.

Upcoming bouts: Sunday July 20th-Italian title on the line!
The weekend comes to an end on Sunday with a national title bout in Italy as the massive and unbeaten Matteo Modugno (14-0, 8) attempts to defend his title for the 3rd time. Modugno will be taking on the limited Gianluca Mandras (9-2, 5) who has yet to fight an opponent of note and has, in fact, been stopped twice by very average journeymen.
With what we know about both men it's hard to see anything but an easy defence, via stoppage, for Modugno who is viewed by some as a "hidden gem".

Upcoming bouts: Saturday July 19th-Lay 'em Out in action!
Sometimes the boxing world is flooded with fights that sadly leave other parts of the sport coming last. This weekend is one such weekend as Macau steals the lime light and leaves us with very little Heavyweight action.
One of the few Heavyweight bouts this weekend will see the limited but incredibly exciting heavyweight Ian "Lay 'em Out" Lewison (9-2-1, 6) taking on the very busy Croatian journeyman Hrvoje Kisicek (8-11, 2). Kisicek is becoming a popular journeyman on the British stage and this will be his 5th fight with a Brit inside a year. Sadly for Kisicek he is 0-4 against Brits so far and we'd be shocked if that didn't become 0-5 after this fight with Lewison.
The only other Heavyweight bout that we're aware of will see Bobby Jovanovic (0-0) making his debut, in Germany, against debut the limited Juri Zizer (2-8). We don't know much about Jovanovic but we do know Zizer has been stopped 5 times is 36 years old and a blown up Light Heavyweight, so we're going to guess that this is a set up bout for Jovanovic to make an impressive debut.
