By Chris Williams: With the Jeff Horn vs. Terence Crawford fight now postponed until May or June, the undercard fight between WBO super bantamweight champion Jessie Magdaleno (25-0, 18 KOs) vs. Isaac Dogboe (18-0, 12 KOs) has been moved by Top Rank to April 28 at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Bryant Jennings willing to fight Joshua on Dec.10

jennings

By Scott Gilfoid: #6 WBC heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings says he’s willing to step in and replace Wladimir Klitschko as the next opponent for IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to fight on December 10 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

The World Boxing Association is expected to rule today whether they’ll be sanctioning the Joshua vs. Klitschko fight for December 10. If they don’t sanction it, then the 40-year-old Klitschko intends on going in another direction towards perhaps a fight against Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne on December 10 for the vacant World Boxing Association title.

Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) has run into a patch of bad luck recently with him suffering back to back losses to Luis “King Kong” Ortiz and Klitschko in his last two fights.
