Joe Joyce faces Filip Hrgovic today in Manchester, plus Janibek Alimkhanuly in action from Kazakhstan!
Today we’ll have live coverage for two cards in Europe, kicking off first from 11 am ET with Janibek Alimkhanuly defending a pair of middleweight titles in Kazakhstan, followed by more coverage starting from 2 pm ET with Joe Joyce taking on Filip Hrgovic in a main event from Manchester, England.
Janibek will defend the WBO and IBF belts against underdog challenger Anauel Ngamissengue. Hrgovic came in on late notice to replace Dillian Whyte. That card will also feature the pro debut of heavyweight Delicious Orie, among other bouts.
Patrick Stumberg will lead us off with the Janibek live updates, and I’ll be handling the Joyce vs Hrgovic show. Join us this afternoon!
