Boxing Challenge

     It's a two-fight weekend for the boxing challenge, but both are important- one for a world title, the other for a minor title that could set the victor up for a title shot in the future.

In Orlando, Florida, Carlos Adames defends his WBC middleweight title against Austin "Ammo" Williams in a fight originally scheduled for earlier this year, with a late dropout from Adames.

The common opponent is Hamzah Sheeraz, who knocked out Williams but drew with Adames, with most thinking Adames did enough to earn the verdict.

Williams has been more active, but I'm not sure his chin holds up against the power of Adames.

If it does, Williams has a chance to outwork Adames and win in a mild upset.

The other fight in the challenge is from ProBox for a minor super middleweight title.

Lester Martinez, who drew with Christian Mbilli in a fight of the year candidate in his last appearance, meets Immanuel Aleem for an interim title.

Should Martinez win, he'd be in line for an Mbilli rematch or a possible Canelo Alvarez pairing, as Canelo will meet Mbilli later this year.

Aleem scored his best win in years in his last bout, stopping Demond Nicholson in nine rounds last July.
