Inside Boxing | Benavidez-Opetaia-Mikaelian mess, Keyshawn Davis fallout, heavyweight updates

Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show by reacting to Keyshawn Davis turning down the Devin Haney fight and the domino effect it‘s going to cause (05:09). Will Haney pivot to Liam Paro or Jack Catteral? Will Top Rank freeze out Davis? It’s a mess (15:04). After a historical conversation about the heavyweight division (20:30), they look ahead to Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic (31:37). The heavyweight division is in transition as Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is likely headed to Madison Square Garden instead of Wembley Stadium (39:11). The David Benavidez-Jai Opetaia-Noel Mikaelian mess has gotten even messier, as Zuffa announced Opetaia vs. Mikaelian, while promoter Don King threatened a lawsuit claiming Mikaelian already has a fight scheduled with Benavidez (47:09). Claressa Shields fights Kaye Scott at middleweight this weekend in Atlanta. Could Shields fight Tamm Thibeault, recent winner of three middleweight titles (57:16)? Finally, sad news hit the boxing world, as Pritchard Colon passed away. The former contender suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2015 and spent the better part of the next decade trying to recover and become an advocate for fighter safety (1:00:50).
