By Allan Fox: Adonis Stevenson is promising a one-punch knockout of challenger Badou Jack on Saturday night in their fight at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada. Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs), who usually isn’t much of a trash talker, has suddenly been talking knockout ever since the fight was signed, and now he’s saying he’s going to KO the 34-year-old Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) with one punch on Saturday night.

By Allan Fox: WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis ‘Superman’ Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs) says he’s been training for a knockout in getting ready for his title defense against Badou ‘The Ripper’ Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada.
By Scott Gilfoid: Badou Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) says he might under the right circumstances give his former foe James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) a rematch in the future if he moves up to light heavyweight. However, Jack says he wasn’t impressed with the last two performances from the 32-year-old DeGale against Caleb Truax (29-4-2, 18 KOs), and he believes might not be the same he once was due to the hard fights he’s been in.
By Scott Gilfoid: Tony Bellew says he might be interested in a rematch with Adonis Stevenson if the fight took place at a catch-weight of 195 pounds in the cruiserweight division. Bellew (30-2-1, 20 KOs) is in need of an opponent for his next fight, and the 40-year-old Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs) called him out last week, saying he wants to face him in the UK and whip him for a second time.

By Gav Duthie: Promoter Yvon Michel has declared the intention of Eleider Alvarez 23-0 (11) not to participate in purse bids for a final, final, final, final eliminator against Oleksandr Gvozdyk 14-0 (12). I apologize that the word final was written 4 times, but it was intentional because this would-be Alvarez’s 4th final eliminator to get a shot at the WBC title held by Adonis Stevenson.
