There are a slew of events throughout the week, starting on Wednesday morning in Australia
It's a busy week for boxing fans. While there is no singular "big fight" dominating the collective consciousness, there are solid and intriguing fights happening nearly every day, starting with an Australian event on Wednesday headlined by Keith Thurman vs. Brock Jarvis.
On Thursday, the action swings to Tokyo for a loaded card with three world championship fights. In the headliner, WBC flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji faces WBA champion Seigo Yuri Akui in a unification bout. The WBO flyweight champion, Anthony Olascuaga, will also be in action when he defends his title against Hiroto Kyoguchi. Finally, WBO junior flyweight champion Shokichi Iwata will face former title challenger Rene Santiago.
The schedule hits a third continent on Saturday as Nick Ball defends the WBA featherweight championship against TJ Doheny in England. Doheny is no stranger to big challenges, with this his first fight since challenging undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue.
