What: Masayuki Ito (25-1-1, 13 KOs) vs Jamel Herring (19-2, 10 KOs)

Ito is the favorite over Herring, in a Top Rank ESPN clash May 25.

Where: Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida

Time: 10 pm ET

Odds: Ito -130, Herring +100

Synopsis: WBO junior lightweight titleholder Ito, 28, faces contender Herring, 33, in an important 130-pound battle. The division is stacked at the top so this is Ito’s chance to show he’s more like the other titleholders (Miguel Berchelt, Gervonta Davis, Tevin Farmer) than he is the rest of the group. Herring is a former United States Marine. He served two tours in Iraq and has won three consecutive fights since losing to Ladarius Miller in August 2017.

Other Bouts:  The ESPN show also includes a lightweight bout between former titleholder Jose Pedraza and contender Antonio Lozada. There will also be a slew of undercard fights on ESPN+.

Davin Haney is now fighting under the DAZN umbrella.

Where: MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland

Channel: DAZN

Time: 9 pm ET

Odds: Haney -5000, Moran +1400

Synopsis: In what was supposed to be former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk’s first fight at heavyweight, Haney steps into the main event spot in Maryland after Usyk had to pull out because of injury. Lot’s of people consider Haney, 20, one of the hottest prospects in the sport. After being featured heavily on Showtime coming up, Haney now gets the DAZN spotlight. 

Other Bouts: Heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, 30, wanted the spot Andy Ruiz ultimately landed to face unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua next week. He’ll make his case for the next big fight gig against Fabio Maldonado. Filip Hrgovic, 26, a heavyweight prospect who won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics for Croatia, is also in action against Gregory Corbin.

What: Austin Trout (31-5, 17 KOs) vs Terrell Gausha (21-1, 10 KOs)

Austin Trout is 5-5 in his last ten but feels a new trainer and conditioner will turn back the clock.

Where: Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi

Channel: FS1

Time: 9 pm ET

Odds: Trout -200, Gausha +155

Synopsis: Former junior middleweight titleholder Trout, 33, believes he can still fight amongst the very best in the 154-pound division. The New Mexican seeks to prove that’s true against 2012 U.S. Olympian Guasha, 31, in a fight that should reveal whether Trout is past his best years or still has another title run in him. 

Other Bouts: Other FS1 bouts include Chordale Booker vs Wale Omotoso in the junior middleweight division and Ahmed Elbiali vs Marlos Eduardo Simoes at light heavyweight.
