It was a light weekend for the July 4th holiday in the USA, but there was a significant fight card in the U.K. and we're ready to recap that and also hear from an exciting, two division world, who's about to return to the ring later this month on the newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives is joined by insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and Newletter to discuss:

The Recap of Saturday’s Matchroom Boxing DAZN at Manchester, England
Welterweight Jack Catterall scores a tech decision after 6 rounds over Harlem Eubank. Not much to see here, but will we have to endure it again? Also, lightweight Joe Cordina won easily by decision over Jaret Gonzalez Quiroz in his 135 lb. debut. Could Cordina get in the lightweight title mix soon?

Then, hear from Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez with Dan 
He fights Phumelele Cafu in a WBC/WBO junior bantamweight unification bout set for July 19 in Frisco, Texas, on DAZN. Bam is one of the young championship stars in the U.S. and has big plans.
 
Then, some News
Turki Alashikh announces “Bam” Rodriguez vs. Fernando Martinez in a three-belt juior bantamweight unification fight for the November Riyadh Season card (Bam obviously has to beat Cafu on July 19th) 

Also, Turki also announced another fight for that November Riyadh card: Abdullah Mason vs. Sam Noakes for the vacant WBO lightweight title stripped from Keyshawn Davis. And, we have the latest on the Dmitry Bivol-Artur Beterbiev trilogy fight, where Beterbiev is saying that he doesn't know what's going on and where the fight will take place and when? What. Are. We. Doing. Here?!
