After Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Canelo Alvarez and others failed to live up to the lofty expectations of last weekend, fighting fans don’t have to wait long to wait for more quality on paper, and the exciting game will be held in various time zones in California, Florida, England, Africa, Africa and Japan.

ESPN breaks the best cards and ranks all the famous battles this weekend.

1. AnthonyCacace vs. Leigh Wood - Junior Lightweight Combat (DAZN, Saturday, 2pm ET)

After Wood's last fight, he said he wanted to end his career by fighting for the world title in Nottingham Forest British Premier League Club's homeland.

Neither wish will come true for the 36-year-old, but the junior high lightweight competition is still important. Wood (28-3, 17 KOS) at least in front of his hometown fans in Nottingham, Carl Froch carved his outstanding career in the Super Middleweight.

Cacace (23-1, 8 KO) from Belfast, Northern Ireland abandoned the IBF world championship he won against Joe Cordina in May 2024 to make the fight come true. Although there is no recognized title in this match, the battle puts two top operators in the department against each other.

Wood gave up No. 1 in the WBA belt after defeating Josh Warrington in October 2023. However, Wood's career has been on hold since then, while Cacace fought in Saudi Arabia and Shock Stoppage beat Cordina's career to beat Cordina.

Cacace, also 36, is also more active (he also beat Warrington and won by a unanimous decision last September) and has significant heights and reaching advantage. He has every reason to rank ESPN second in Junior Lightweight. But what if Wood showed no signs of long-term layoffs on his first outing, inspired by his home fans’ career extensions? This will be another fairy tale episode in Wood’s career, which keeps people inspiring dramatic surprises.

The winner of the fight will be the natural opponent of the WBO title battle Saturday by Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez.

2. EmanuelNavarrete vs. Charly Suarez - Junior High School Lightweight Championship Battle (ESPN/ESPN+, Saturday 10:00 ET)

Navarrete, a three-pointer champion, looked sensational on his last outing when he beat Oscar Valdez to the liver in a December rematch. In this form, Mexican fighter jets are a must see.

Navarrete (39-2-1, 32) defended his WBO Junior Junior lightweight belt against Suarez on Saturday, and on Saturday, his Philippine Suarez was in Suarez in San Diego, which could enhance his position at the top of the 130-pound division. Navarrete put a cruel attitude towards Valdez, laying him three times before the shutdown, another amazing display might convince him to try another crack in the lightweight division. Navarrete's Denys Berinchyk, who challenged WBO lightweight belts in May 2024, failed, but if he beat Suarez (18-0, 10 KOS), he might be lightweight again for a richer battle. If he wants to keep 130, he also has the potential to have a unified championship battle with WBC champion O'Shaquie Foster.

3. EricksonLubin vs. Ardreal Holmes Jr. - Junior Middleweight Championship Elimination (Promox TV, Saturday, 6pm ET)

This is a conflict between two Southpaws, and they desperately need to win this IBF junior middleweight championship eliminator.

Lubin (26-2, 18 KO) from Orlando, Florida has experience but layoffs: He hasn't fought since September 2023, when he won a unanimous decision on Jesus' Ramos, a manual injury delaying his return. Holmes (17-0, 6 KOS) from Flint, Michigan has poor experience, but has been unstoppable after three wins in 2024.

Lubin could be exciting and was involved in an exciting battle with Sebastian Fundora three years ago. The winner of Saturday's battle in Kissimmee, Florida is fighting champion Bakhram Murtazaliev.

4. Fernando Martinez

Martinez and Ioka met again in Tokyo on Sunday after a relentless firefight last July, with more expected. Martinez (17-0, 9 KOS) got a unanimous decision after surpassing Ioka's unification battle in Japan's unification championship battle.

How much does Ioka spend at 36, and how consuming battles will determine whether he can take revenge and win the world championship at the third-level weight level.

Ioka from Japan (31-3-1, 16 KOS) started his career 16 years ago and he will have to back down to keep pace with the 33-year-old WBA champion from Argentina.

This rematch was postponed from December after Martinez evacuated and fell ill.

5. SouleymaneCissokho vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas - Saturday WBC Middleweight Championship Elimination

Equatorial Guinea (Equatorial Guinea) is the site of Saturday's war, 2,000 miles from Senegal, where Sissoko (17-0, 9 KOS) was born. But it still seemed like a struggle to return home for him. He will realize his dream of boxing in the African boxing when he is in the WBC middleweight championship knockout in the capital of Malabo.

Cissokho, the deserved title, is based in Paris but is on the train in California with Virgil Hunter. If he wins, he will get this opportunity and time in the spotlight.

The injury delayed the game, and Cissokho will worry about an 18-month absence, who faces a dangerous punch from Lithuanian Kavaliauskas at California State University.

But Kavaliauskas was stopped in two times when he strengthened a level (Vergil Ortiz in 2021 and Terence Crawford in 2019), which looks like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for clever boxers like Cissokho to fight a big fight later this year.
