Much of this Saturdays' Heavyweight action is in America where the fights come en masse.

The most interest of the American contests both take place on the same card and both feature very promising Heavyweight prospects. Arguably the most promising of those prospects is Dominic Breazeale (10-0, 9) who will be putting his unbeaten record on the line against Devin Vargas (18-3, 7). Vargas has lost 3 of his last 4, all by stoppage, but is still a decent test for Breazeale who we know will be fighting in the hope of scoring an eye catching KO.

The other unbeaten man is Michael Hunter (4-0, 3) who appears to be in a fantastic match up with Jerry Forrest (7-1, 6). Forrest was stopped last time out by Gerald Washington but that was Wahsington's 9th bout whilst Hunter will be facing Forrest in fight #5, a brave move if you ask us.

More action in the US includes a very interesting contest between the unbeaten Steve Vukosa (8-0, 4) and the much more experienced Arthur Saribekian (23-5-1, 18) in a bout that we like the look of. Vukosa will be ending a break of more than 10 years though was a talented amateur and appears to be trying to make up for lost time. Saribekian was beaten in his only fight in the last 10 years though will likely have hoped that the loss will have knocked off some rust. Interesting match up and one that could catch a few fans off guard as both men will be looking to score a needed win.

On the same card as the Vukosa/Saribekian bout is another Heavyweight contest as Julian Pollard (3-0, 3) puts his perfect record on the line against Solomon Maye (1-2, 1). Neither man has completed the schedule of a bout so far and we'd not be shocked if this one ends early either.

A complete pointless mismatch in the States will see Jason Pettaway (15-1, 8) battle against the limited journeyman Justin Novaria (4-15, 2). Although Pettaway is unlikely to become a contender this an almost unforgiveable mismatch considering that his sole loss, a stoppage to the tragic Magamedov Abdulsalamov, is now more than 2 years in to the past. Pettaway does have some talent but matches like this won't help him improve or develop his skills.

The bouts aren't just taking place in the US and in Romania we have an interesting, albeit very low level bout, as Florian Benche (3-5, 1) looks to defeat Jakov Gospic (14-9, 10). Although neither man is a big name both will be fighting for a win and both will believe that the other man is very beatable. Interesting bout.

Another interesting bout is in France where Fabrice Aurieng (8-6, 2) will battle against journeyman Edgars Kalnars (25-29, 16). Neither of these men are world beaters but they should manage to put on a decent bout together as the limitations of both men should allow the other chances. Hopefully this ends up being a competitive low level bout but there is the risk of it becoming a grab fest.

Staying in Europe we expect a trio of bouts in Germany. The most notable of those will see novice Dennis Kiy (1-0, 1) facing the experienced Marcel Zeller (24-10, 23) in a bout that could well put Kiy on the boxing map. The other fights currently only have 1 fighter in each bout listed andthey are Boris Estenfelder (4-0, 3) and the debuting Fuad Doukalli (0-0). Sadly these two aren't facing each other and instead tey will each have a "can" to crush come fight night.

There isn't much Heavyweight action this Friday with only 3 bouts currently listed on boxrec.

In Indiana we expect to see the hard hitting James Shorter (4-2, 3) take on the unbeaten Nick Asberry (4-0, 2) in a bout that is more interesting than the records of the men would perhaps hint at. Shorter has only been stopped once, by the promising Daniel Martz, and whilst Asberry is unbeaten he's very untested so far. Easily the toughest bout on paper for the unbeaten fighter.

Asberry isn't the only unbeaten man, in fact in Belgium there is an all unbeaten contest as Evgenios Lazaridis (2-0, 1), from Greece, takes on Germany's Jens Tietze (5-0, 5) in what is, on paper, the best bout of the day. Although both men are unbeaten they are likely at opposite ends of their career with Tietze being 38 whilst Lazaridis is just 26.

In Australia fans will get the chance to see the debut of former amateur boxer Patrick Eneanya (0-0) who will be fighting the limited Kingsley Enedeghe (1-5) in a 4 rounder

With the world cup kicking off the boxing looks to be taking a back seat this week with only a handfulof Heavyweight bouts.

Unbeaten 24 year Argentinian Daniel Alejandro Barroso (6-0, 5) looks for his 4th win of the year as returns to the ring just 5 weeks after his last fight.We're unsure who he will be facing

There is also an unbeaten fighter in action in Austria as Durmus Keklik (9-0, 4) look to move into double figures. As with Barroso we're unsure on who he will be fighting

As well as unbeaten fighters we also get a selection of debutants.

In the UK fans will get the chance to see the debut of Sean Turner (0-0) who will battle the unbeaten, though inexperienced, Zoltan Elekes (1-0) in a bout that combines unbeaten fighters and prospects.

In Germany Jeton Abdullahu (0-0) will be making his debut unfortunately we're unsure who he will be fighting. Another of the debutants who is facing a "TBA" is Stan Williamson (0-0) who will be kicking off his career in Virginia

The few fights that don't include either a debutant or an unbeaten fighter are few and far between though one of them, in Kansas, will see Thomas Jones (1-2) taking on the limited Michael Glenn (3-8-2, 1). Another of those bouts, in Germany this time, will see journeymen colliding as Werner Kreiskott (17-19-2, 11) battles against Adnan Buharalija (29-20-2, 21).

We've been lucky in recent weeks to have had some great Heavyweight action. This week isn't as great as some of those recent weeks though we still get a brilliant match up on a Friday night as the division continues to put together some brilliantly even looking fights.

The bout we're most interested in is a rare bout between unbeaten prospects, as German fans will be getting a real treat as the touted Erkan Teper (12-0, 8) battles former Olympian and former French champion Newfel Ouatah (12-0, 8) in a contest for the currently vacant EBU-EU Heavyweight title. We know the EBU-EU title isn't regarded very highly but this is a fantastic match up and match ups like this are few and far between, sadly. It goes without saying that this is the best bout, on paper, that the division sees on Friday and is pretty close to a 50-50 contest with us juster favouring Teper who is fighting in his homeland.

Although the bout of the night is in Europe we do get plenty of action in North America. Amongst those bouts are 2 set to take place in Missouri, the most ineresting of which will see the 34 year old Jason Redmond (7-1-1, 5) come out of a 7 year retirement to take on Dakota Talbott (2-11). The other bout on the same show will see Joseph Shaw (0-0) make his debut against the win-less Mike Scranton (0-1).

Staying in the US fans in Minnesota will get the chance to see the debut of Colton Warner (0-0) who will be fighting against the poor James Roe (1-3, 3).

Canadian fight fans will get the chance to see the debut of Cody Krahn (0-0) who battles against the limited Taylor Bull (2-3, 2) in a bout that we really don't think is going to be anything great, but it's always good to see a new name in the division.

In Australia fans will have 2 shows with Heavyweight action. One of those will see Paul Samways (2-1, 2) battling against the stop-or-be stopped John Dugu (4-6, 4). We're not going to hazard a guess here at who will win but it's unlikely to go the distance.

On the other Australian card fans will be treat to 2 Heavyweight contests. One of those will see another stop-or-be-stopped fighter, Willie Nasio (3-1, 3) battling against the limited Dean Garmonsway (2-7, 2) in what is likely a more even contest than the records of the men would have you believe. The other bout of relevance on this card will see novice James Porter (2-2) battle the very experienced Walter Pupu'a (12-28, 8) in what looks interesting but not all that appealing.

Heavyweight boxing returns to Mexico on Thursday as the unbeaten Fernando Fernandez (1-0, 1) takes on Juan Luis Lopez Alcaraz (3-8-2, 1). Known as "Destructor" we're hoping to hear that Fernandez lives up to his name and leaves a wake of destruction in his wake before moving on to bigger and better things.

A new week kicks off with 2 Heavyweight bouts in Europe, both of which are sadly mismatches.

The most notable of the bouts is in Switzerland as the unbeaten Arnold Gjergjaj (24-0, 18) battles against Hungarian Tibor Balogh (14-5-2, 10). Balogh comes in to this 2-4 in his last 6, including 2 stoppages losses and we'd be shocked if he had anything to really test the unbeaten fighter with. We're hoping that this will be Gjergjaj's final bout before pushign on with his career, though we we've said that before.

In the UK the fun to watch Ian Lewison (8-2-1, 5) will be battling against Kreso Bogdanovic (3-6) in what should be little more than a formality for the man dubbed "Lay 'em out". Lewison is limited, crude but exciting, powerful and aggressive, too much saw for the limited man who will be sharing the ring with him.

This weekend is a relatively quiet weekend, despite a big show in New York. This means the Heavyweight action is lacking some grandeur but should still have enough bouts of interest to keep even the most

The biggest UK card of the weekend has two bouts of note. One of those features the unbeaten David Allen (5-0-1, 3) against the disgraceful Larry Olubamiwo (10-6, 9). Everyone who frequents this site will know that we feel Olubamiwo deserves to be banned from the sport for what he did so we'll be cheering on Allen even if that does ruin our integrity. We keep hoping that every defeat Olubamiwo suffers, including 5 successive defeats coming into this bout, will get him away from this sport but unfortunately he's like a cockroach that just won't go away. It may well take a serious beating to retire him and whilst Allen had a good chance of winning he won't beat Olubamiwo up like we'd hope.

The other bout on the show is one we can be much more positive about as Young Fury (0-0), yet another from the fighting Fury clan, makes his professional debut in a 4 rounder.

On a separate UK card fans will get the chance to see the hotly tipped Adam Machaj (3-0, 3) battled against journeyman Hrvoje Kisicek (8-10, 2). Kisicek seems to have been in the ring with every other top British Heavyweight prospect including Hughie Fury, Anthony Joshia and Gary Cornish. Of those both Cornish and Joshua managed to stop the Croatian and Machaj will be hoping to do the same.

Although the British fans have 3 fights domestically they will also have a serious interest in some of the German action as popular banger David Price (17-2, 15) continues his rebuilding process. Price will be facing Ukrainian Yaroslav Zavorotnyi (16-6, 14). Although Zavorotnyi isn't a great fighter he has mixed in good company with fights aganst Nikolai Valuev, Kubrat Pulev and Alexander Dimitrenko and is likely capable of giving Price a tougher than expected contest.

Staying in Germany there will also be action for the unbeaten and well regarded teenager Ilja Mezencev (4-0, 4) who will be stepping up slightly to battle against Marko Rupcic (3-7-1, 1). Mezencev should win but it is a step up for the 18 year old who we have heard is a "prodigious" talent.

We also have an unbeaten prospect in action in the US as John Wesley Nofire (14-0, 11) putshis impressive record on the line against  the more experience but limited Earl Ladson (15-24-1-1, 7). Aged 40 and with just 1 win in over 5 years it's hard to see Ladson beating Nofire here, despite the fact we tend to feel Nofire is a limited fighter himself.

Another unbeaten American inaction is Nathan Luis Rosa (1-0, 1) who will be trying to extend his winning run as he takes on John Moxey (2-3, 1). Both men have wins over John Schimon though we view Rosa's as the "better" win and would have to favour him here.

In South Carolina we're expecting two bouts. One of those will feature veteran Joseph Rabotte (11-26-1, 3) whilst the other will involve the debuting Marquis Dacres (0-0), unfortunately we're unsure who either man will be facing at this moment.

We get more debutants in action in Washington where Kolt Thompson (0-0) will be fighting Mike Hayes (0-0). With both men making their debuts this is a bout that is nigh on impossible to get a read on.

It's not a busy Friday this week but there are several fighters that are interesting for us in action.

The highest profile Heavyweight bout of the day is in France of all days as the very talented, though often over-looked Carlos Takam (29-1-1, 23) takes on the always difficult to beat veteran Tony Thompson (39-4, 26) in a WBC Silver title fight. This is Takam's first bout since being unfairly denied a victory against the highly regarded Mike Perez. Oddly this will be Thompson's first bout since he defeated Odlanier's Solis. It's a bit strange both men are coming in to this bout following contests with highly regarded Cubans though the winner of this certainly deserves to be regarded as a top contender.

In the UK the hard hitting Ugandana born Kenneth Odeke (5-1, 5) will be sharing the ring with the ridicuously tough Moses Matovu (5-41-4). Matovu is amazingly tough and will likely take the power of the 21 yeah old Odeke though we didn't expect Odeke to wipe out AJ Carter like he did just a few short weeks ago. Although Odeke has got a loss on his record and seems to be a Cruiserweight more than a Heavyweight we are actually really excited about the youngster.

Staying in Europe, though moving south to Italy, fans will get the chanceto see Ivan Di Berardino (0-0) make his debut as he takes on the win-less Nicolae Rata (0-1).

In the US we're expecting to see two bouts. One of those will see the unbeaten Donnie Palmer (4-0-1, 4) battling against the poor John Orr (1-3) in what should be a very easy bout for Palmer. Orr, who has been stopped in 2 of his 3 losses, will likely be blasted out by Palmer.

The other bout on this US card will be one between Jesse Barboza (8-1-1, 5) and Jamal Woods (4-11-3, 4). We don't think Barboza is special but he should over-come Woods here given that Woods is little more than a professional loser at the moment.
