At times it must have looked to Eggington that he was facing a heart shaped mirror as Zsyk fought back and refused to back down. Eggington ended the fight marked whilst Zsyk looked as if he had never been near a ring and was as fresh faced looking as when he arrived! Eggington is now, even curiouser the IBO world title holder. It is curious because the IBO have always maintained that their rankings are objectively based on some computer algorithm and Zsyk and Eggington are far from numbers 1 and 2! But it isn\u2019t going to matter to the home fighter, Eggington who can now look forward to a bigger fight in the months to come. As for Zsyk, he deserves another run out on the TV<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Saturday 25th June<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In San Antonio, Texas, the WBO, WBC, IBO, IBF and WBA welterweight titles remained around the waist of Jessica McCaskill as she comprehensively beat Alma Ibarra. Ibarra refused to come out for the 4th round, leaving the champion clutching her baubles. Controversially, it has been claimed that Ibarra quit because she did not like McCaskill\u2019s holding! By the end of it, the holding onto the titles was the only holds which mattered.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Under the radar<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Saturday 25th June<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also, on the Sky card in Coventry, the two winners of the last two Boxxer series appeared. Given that they had won a short fight format, there were lesser expectations, rightly, over their fights as they are potential stars of the future rather than headliners right now. Both had decent fights, showed up pretty well but failed to set the heather alight as super lightweight Cori Gibbs beat Carlos Perez the current Spanish champion in his first outing since winning the series on points over 8 rounds. Then lightweight Dylan Cheema got a 4 round points win over Stu Greener.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mentioned in dispatches.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Saturday 25th June<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Celtic middleweight title went to Graham McCormack who beat Dominic Donegan in Belfast on points, whilst the Sky card in Coventry, saw the successful debut of Olympic featherweight Kariss Artingstall who dominated the teak tough Lithuanian, Vaida Masiokaite, on points over 6 rounds.<\/p>\n<p>In San Antonio, Texas, the WBA and IBF super bantamweight contest between Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Ronny Rios, saw Akhmadaliev stopping Rios in the 12th whilst the WBC super flyweight battle between Jesse Rodriguez Franco and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai also ended with a stoppage though this time in the 8th and Franco was the victor.<\/p>\n<p>Fast Forward \u2013 the week to come as viewed from one side of the Atlantic<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>UK \u2013 biggest and most notable<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Saturday 2nd July<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>BT Sport deliver in Wembley with a bill topped by the man who beat the man who is the WBA heavyweight champion now, Joe Joyce, facing a replacement opponent in Christian Hammer. There has been a bit of toing and froing in interviews in why Joyce is not facing Joseph Parker and to be fair to Parker, it is a short career and if he can maximise his cash through Sky rather than Frank Warren, then who can blame him. Given the amount of effort that the Warrens put in to make the Joyce\/ Parker fight happen \u2013 only they can! As a consequence, I think it is safe to say that this is not what people were hoping to see and Joyce should make light work of Hammer.<br \/>\nInternational headline in the UK<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Saturday 2nd July<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In Queensland, Australia, we have the IBF cruiserweight title fight between Mairis Breidis and Jai Opetaia, which shall be of massive interest to British fighters like Lawrence Okolie and Richard Riakporhe. Since losing a majority decision against Oleksandr Usyk in the World Boxing Super Series, the Latvian, Breidis has hardly put a foot wrong. Opetaia, though unbeaten and with a massive number of regional titles to his name, has not faced anyone like Breidis before so we all expect what we think should be a perfunctory defence for Breidis.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Under the radar<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Saturday 2nd July<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The BT Sport bill at Wembley, has quite a few decent fights on it, the cream for me is the return of Callum Johnson at light heavyweight who takes on Igor Mikhalkin for the bizarre WBO Global title. Irrespective of the title being fought over, Johnson has found his star being eclipsed in the recent past as Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yarde have stolen the limelight. But for Johnson this is far more than just getting back in the ring, it is about getting back in the mix which he should do \u2013 barring disasters.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mentioned in dispatches.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd July<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plenty of fights across the UK with bills in Bolton, York Hall and Rotherham on the Friday whilst on Saturday Plymouth, York Hall \u2013 presented by FightZone, Solihull, Barnsley and Hull add to the televised Wembley card.
