DAZN FACE OFF: Usyk vs. Verhoeven
Watch dramatic clash here
Hrgovic won't shy from Itauma bout
Filip Hrgovic stopped short of confirming he would face Moses Itauma in August but hinted he would relish the opportunity.
The Croatian dismissed Dave Allen inside three rounds at the latter's homecoming to tee up a potential bout with the Briton.
In his post-ring comments, Hrgovic confirmed he would be delighted to face off with Itauma after securing an early stoppage.
Allen, who was feted by his home city long into the night, meanwhile suggested he could also move for the British title too.
Davis eyes Haney after Albright win
Keyshawn Davis scotched the lone blot on his professional record by outclassing Nahir Albright in their rematch encounter.
Having seen his original 2023 win ruled as a subsequent no-contest, the star made good for promoters Top Rank in Norfolk, VA.
Davis wasted little time in calling out WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney following his victory, as he seeks another belt.
The latter was last out in November against Brian Norman Jr., who dispatched Josh Wagner on the undercard in two rounds.
Gomez Jr. wants Lonsdale belt crack
Back in Doncaster, Michael Gomez Jr. teed up a potential shot at the British lightweight title by dismantling Lee McGregor in style.
The former poured more pain on the Hearts fan, securing a sixth-round stoppage to tee up a shot at the watching Louie O'Doherty.
The latter defended his Lonsdale belt against Ahmen Hatim earlier in the night, ending the challenger's unbeaten status along the way.
Meanwhile, Paris 2024 champion Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev continued his rise through the ranks with a win over Alexis Nahuel Torres.
