    With the Daniel Dubois-Anthony Joshua rematch seemingly off the table, we examine the leading contenders to take on Dubois and ponder what the future may hold for Joshua.


    There’s Queensberry’s deal with DAZN to discuss along with the long-term position of Frank Warren in the business after he recently admitted he had considered retirement.


    We also reflect on all the action from the weekend, including Shabaz Masoud’s majestic victory over Liam Davies, and there’s a special report from the amateur Under-19 World Championships.


    In This Week, we head back to 1989 and Sugar Ray Leonard taking on Donnie Lalonde.
