Fighters’ Profiles and Strength

Moses Itauma – WWWWW

Terri Harper has built an impressive professional boxing career with 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. People call her “Belter,” and she fights out of Denaby, Yorkshire, England. Her most recent fight didn’t go her way—she lost to Sandy Ryan in the fourth round by TKO when she was challenging for the WBO World Female Welterweight Title.

Before that, she had a tough match against Cecilia Braekhus, where she defended her WBA World Female Super Welterweight Title. That fight ended in a majority draw, showing just how close the competition was. Going back to September 24, 2022, Harper won the WBA World Female Super Welterweight Title by beating Hannah Rankin through a unanimous decision. She didn’t stop there; she successfully defended that title against Ivana Habazin, again winning by unanimous decision.

On March 12, 2022, she also claimed the vacant WBA Intercontinental Female Lightweight Title by defeating Yamila Abellaneda, once more by unanimous decision. However, not every fight was a win. Harper lost her WBC World and IBO World Female Super Featherweight titles after being knocked out by a counter-overhand right TKO.

Still, she had some great victories too. She won the vacant IBO World Female Super Featherweight Title by knocking out Nozipho Bell. After that, she defended the title several times: against Viviane Obenauf and Eva Wahlstrom, both by unanimous decisions; Natasha Jonas, by split decision; and Katharina Thanderz, by TKO.

Through all these fights, Terri Harper has shown resilience and skill, making her a strong name in women’s boxing.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

Moses Itauma fights from a southpaw stance. He likes to stay in the center of the ring. He has fast hands. Also, he has good cardio and strong power shots. He often aims for his opponent’s chin.

This guy will shake up the division. If you take the best skills from all other heavyweight prospects and combine them, they still won’t match Moses’ talent. He is the real deal. His angles are unorthodox, and his ring IQ is impressive. It’s pretty amazing to watch.

He has a great future. He moves well and packs a powerful punch. His mentors should take it step by step with him. We will see what he can do in tougher fights, but I believe he will become a heavyweight champion.

Mike Balogun is quite fast. He’s wild and leaves himself open. This should be a fun fight with Moses… at least while it lasts.

Balogun isn’t bad, but Moses has already beaten two fighters with better records and bigger names. The DBC thinks Moses can go all the way. But he must keep improving.

Moses Itauma will win this fight quickly. And he will do it by knockout.

Natalie Zimmerman – WWWWW

Natalie Zimmerman is proud of her professional record—13 wins in a row. Her most recent fight took place on September 27, 2024, at the Arena Boxing Promotion, where she faced Kateřina Dvořáková and won by decision on points. Just before that, she went up against Orsolya Moldován and won by unanimous decision.

Looking back at 2022, it was a strong year for Natalie. She fought two tough opponents, Tereza Dvořáková and Bojana Libiszewska, and won both fights by unanimous decision. In 2021, she was very active, fighting six times. That year, she beat Aleksandra Vujovic and Karina Szmalenberg by decision, and scored knockout or TKO wins against Nana Dokadze, Oluwafunke Esther Fagbule, Sabine Hempel, and Tiziana Olmo.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

Terri Harper has faced some of the best fighters across different weight classes, and she has only lost to three of them. She struggles a bit with defending herself but makes up for it with powerful knockouts. Watching her fight is always exciting, especially since she’s fought a total of 138 professional rounds. Harper also has a knockout-to-win ratio of about 40%, showing her strength in the ring.

On the other hand, Natalie Zimmerman is a slower starter in the pro boxing world, especially since she’s 42 years old now. Despite this, she’s ranked number two out of 230 fighters at 135 pounds. She has fought 67 professional rounds and has a knockout-to-win ratio of 23.5%. With an undefeated streak of 13 fights, Zimmerman is getting a chance to fight for the WBO World Female Lightweight Title—an opportunity of a lifetime.

Honestly, it’s surprising how Zimmerman even became a registered boxer since she struggles with basic skills like throwing a jab and can be pretty sloppy in the ring. She has pushed herself to get this far, but if Harper doesn’t stop her, I’d be really shocked. Harper looks sharp right now—she’s in her zone and has been training hard, beating the bag and getting ready to win.

Considering the last five matches, both fighters have recorded at least four wins in their last five matches. This match is unique because on the line is the vacant IBF International Featherweight Title. Here’s a quick breakdown—and who could be the smarter bet?

Fighters’ Profiles and Strength

Kurt Walker – LWWWW

Kurt Walker has a professional record of twelve wins. He’s currently on a twelve-match winning streak. Born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, Kurt’s most recent fight was on March 1, 2025, where he won against Leon Woodstock by Majority Decision.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

This is a tough fight to call. Liam Davis is stepping up in weight, but it’s also a step up in competition for Kurt Walker. Davis is coming off a loss, so he’s likely hungrier to prove himself. He’s a big name in the sport.

Kurt Walker, from Conlan Boxing, is now 12-0, having recently beaten Leon Woodstock by majority decision. He’s a skilled fighter, known for his combination punching and great angles. He also has a strong jab, especially his long ones.

Walker is smart with his combinations and knows how to control the distance well. This will help him win more rounds. Overall, the safest bet for this fight might be on the rounds. Kurt is the underdog to win.

Chris Eubank Jr – WWLWW

Chris Eubank Jr is on a 2-win streak, with a record of 34 wins and 3 losses. His most recent fight was on October 12, 2024, against Kamil Szeremeta at Top Rank, under the Beterbiev vs. Bivol headliner. He won the vacant IBO World Middleweight Title by technical knockout in the seventh round after landing body shots.

Before that, he defeated Liam Smith with unanswered punches in the tenth round. In 2014, he fought Billy Joe Saunders for the EBU European Middleweight and Commonwealth Middleweight Titles. He won by split decision at the Chisora vs. Fury event. Early the next year, he claimed the Interim WBA World Middleweight Title by TKO in the 12th round against Dmitrii Chudinov. He successfully defended it against Tony Jeter in the second round.

Eubank also won the British Middleweight Title by defeating Nick Blackwell in the tenth round. His most recent loss came against Liam Smith, who won by Left Uppercut, Left Hook in the fourth round. In January 2022, his match against Liam Williams was postponed due to COVID restrictions, but he later won by unanimous decision in February.

In 2017, Eubank fought for the IBO World Super Middleweight Title against Renold Quinlan and won in the 10th round. He defended it successfully against Avni Yildirim (3rd round) and Arthur Abraham (unanimous decision). He lost the title to George Groves by unanimous decision. In early 2019, he claimed the vacant IBO World Super Middleweight Title by defeating James DeGale by unanimous decision. Later that year, he won the vacant Interim WBA World Middleweight Title by defeating Matvey Korobov in just seconds of round 2.

This morning, Chris Eubank couldn’t make the Middleweight division weight limit of 160 pounds. He was 0.05 pounds over. This, however, comes with major financial consequences. On his first attempt, he missed by 2 ounces. On the second, he was off by half an ounce. The fine for this is reported to be around $500,000.

There’s also a clause in his contract stating he cannot weigh more than 10 pounds over by tomorrow morning. If he fails, the fine will increase.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

The fight between these two was set for 2020, but it was postponed due to Benn’s drug test. Now, with a chance to settle things, a win is crucial. Eubank Jr’s recent victories were against opponents close to his age or slightly older. 

This is important in boxing. Eubank faces the challenge of beating a younger fighter like Benn, who is seven years his junior. Eubank is a titleholder with plenty of experience, which gives him an edge. He plans to take the fight to the later rounds and aims for a knockout.

Conor Benn is a strategic fighter who knows how to land his jabs. He shows his skills early on and leaves it to the judges. This approach has worked for him, as nine of his wins were by decision. When he wins by knockout, he finishes the job before round five. 

Benn is the underdog in this match, but he shouldn’t be underestimated. He has beaten older, more experienced fighters before. This is a tough matchup. If Benn wins, it will likely be by knockout. If Eubank wins, it will probably be by decision.

Fighters’ Profiles and Strength

Joe Joyce – LWLLW

In 2016, Joe Joyce won the silver medal at the Rio Olympics, where he lost to Tony Yoka in the final. Along the way, he defeated Davilson Morais by KO/TKO and Bakhodir Jalolov and Ivan Dychko by unanimous decision to reach the final. 

After the Olympics, Joyce turned professional in 2017 and went on an impressive 15-match unbeaten streak. This streak lasted until early 2023, during which he secured five major title wins.

Joyce claimed the Commonwealth Heavyweight Title in 2018 by defeating Lenroy Thomas. He then went on to win the British, Commonwealth, and European Heavyweight Titles in 2020 against Daniel Dubois. Also, he won the Commonwealth, WBO International, and WBC Silver Heavyweight Titles by defeating Carlos Takam. 

Then added the WBC Silver and WBO International Heavyweight Titles by defeating Christian Hammer. In 2022, Joyce won the Interim WBO World Heavyweight Title with a left hook knockout against Joseph Parker.

However, his unbeaten streak was ended by Zhilei Zhang, who claimed the Interim WBO World Heavyweight Title by defeating Joyce twice. Joyce got his redemption in 2024, beating Kash Ali in round ten to secure a victory.

Filip Hrgovic – LWWWW

Filip Hrgovic has a professional record of 17 wins and 1 loss. His last fight took place on June 1, 2024, in Queensbury, where he lost to Daniel Dubois for the vacant Interim IBF World Heavyweight Title. The fight ended in the 8th round by technical knockout. Before that, Hrgovic had an impressive record of 17 wins.

At 32 years old, Hrgovic has appeared in both Matchroom Boxing and Queensbury Promotions. In one of his recent Matchroom Boxing fights, he faced Zhilei Zhang and won by unanimous decision. In 2020, he fought Rydell Booker for the vacant IBF International Heavyweight Title and won by technical knockout in the fifth round. He then successfully defended the title against Marko Radonjic with a fourth-round TKO and Emir Ahmatovic in the third round.

Final Prediction

Joe Joyce has the ability to deal significant damage and secure finishes against his opponents. As he prepares for his next match, Joyce is determined to avenge his first pro loss, which came in his recent fight against Zhilei Zhang. Filip Hrgovic, on the other hand, has always faced challenges against top boxers. His advantages in this fight include his number of wins, reach, and age, which he will look to use against Joyce.

However, Joyce is six years older and has more fight experience. He might even be considering retirement soon. With only three losses in his entire career, Joyce has proven himself tough. I believe this bout will go the distance, but ultimately, it will be stopped by the power jab of Filip Hrgovic. Therefore, I’m giving Hrgovic the win by knockout.

Fighters’ Profiles and Strength

Richard Torezz Jr – WWWWW

Richard Torezz Jr has an impressive record of 12 wins and no losses. Most recently, he fought on December 7, 2024, in a Top Rank promotion. In that match, he faced Isaac Munoz and won by technical knockout in the third round, successfully defending his NABF Junior Heavyweight Title. Torezz first won the title in 2024 when it was vacant, defeating Brandon Moore in the fifth round.

However, Torezz’s career has not been without setbacks. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he represented the United States but lost to Bakhodir Jalolov in the Super Heavyweight Gold Medal Match.

In addition to these fights, Torezz has dominated other opponents, including: Kamshybek Kunkabayev (referee stoppage in round 3), Dainier Pero (majority decision), Chouaib Bouloudinats (unanimous decision), Roberto Zavala Jr (knockout in the first round), and Allen Melson (left hook knockout in the second round).

Guido Vianello – WLWWL

Guido Vianello has a professional boxing record of 13 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Recently, he suffered a loss to Nigerian fighter Efe Ajagba in a split decision, just four months ago. Before that, Vianello fought Moses Johnson and won by KO/TKO. He also won against Curtis Harper by unanimous decision.

Vianello turned pro in 2018, debuting against Luke Lyons. He remained unbeaten until 2020, when his fight against Kingsley Ibeh ended in a majority draw. Over the next two years, he bounced back with wins over Marlon Williams (2021), Rafael Rios (2022), and Jay McFarlane (2022).

However, in January 2023, Jonathan Rice defeated Vianello, dropping him in the 7th round. This marked his first loss. Despite this setback, Vianello’s high output and solid defense make him a tough opponent for any heavyweight. Still, his loss to Rice has raised questions about his future. Now, it’s time for Vianello to show where he truly stands.

Guido enters this match as the underdog, despite showing strong potential in his loss to Efe Ajagba. On the other hand, most of Richard’s wins come via knockout (11). To add to that tally, he will need to keep his guard up and learn how to handle fast-paced fighters. Going into this match, the most likely outcome seems to be that it will go the distance. I had high hopes for Guido, but unfortunately, he hasn’t progressed in a way that gives me confidence in him.

Jahi Tucker – WWWDL

Jahi Jawara Tucker has a professional record of 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. He fights out of Deer Park, New York, United States. The 22-year-old boxer last fought on November 2, 2024, in a Top Rank promotion. He faced Quilisto Madera and won by technical knockout in the 8th round.

Before that, Tucker fought Quincy LaVallais and Santiago Fernandez, both victories by unanimous decision after intense 8-round battles.

The year 2023 was a mix of highs and lows for Tucker. He began the year with a unanimous decision victory over Nikoloz Sekhniashvili in April. However, in July, he lost to Nicklaus Flaz by majority decision in a preliminary card fight. In December 2023, Tucker fought Francisco Veron, and the match ended in a draw by majority decision.

Tucker has also defeated fighters like Jose Sanchez, D’Andre Smith, Akeem Black, Jorge Rodrigo Sosa, and Tracey McGruder.

Troy Williamson – LLWLW

Troy Williamson has a professional boxing record of 20 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw. The draw occurred in 2019 when he faced Jack Flatley. It ended in a majority decision after 8 rounds.

His three losses came against Ishmael Davis, Caoimhin Agyarko, and Josh Kelly. In each of these fights, he lost by either split or unanimous decision. Among these, his fight against Josh Kelly stands out because he was defending his British Super Welterweight Title.

Williamson won that title in 2021 when he defeated Ted Cheeseman. The following year, he successfully defended it against Mason Cartwright, winning by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. He has also proven himself a title fighter, with a solid win over Harry Scarff to defend the IBF European Super Welterweight Title.

Final Prediction

Troy Williamson undoubtedly holds a top position in this fight, thanks to his impressive accolades. He brings a lot of experience into the ring. With nine more fights than Tucker, he should not be underestimated.

However, the situation favors the younger Jahi Tucker. There is an 11-year age difference, which means Tucker’s body has recovered faster than Troy’s. In addition, Tucker is in good form, having won three consecutive fights.

Given these factors, I believe Tucker will come out on top in this fight. I predict the victory will be by decision. Troy has always put up a tough fight, even in losses, and he has never been knocked out.

His other loss was against Raymond Muratalla in a 10-round bout, which ended in a unanimous decision, causing him to lose the NABF and NABO Lightweight Titles. Before that, he fought Alan Isaias Luques Castillo in a main-card bout, winning by first-round KO/TKO. He lost to Joseph Diaz on January 30, 2020, after a 12-round bout decided by unanimous decision.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

In their last match, William Zepeda came out on top, winning by split decision. Zepeda is a different kind of fighter. He has tremendous power and keeps throwing punches nonstop. Tevin Farmer has the power to keep Zepeda at bay, but Zepeda’s relentless attack will be too much for him. Both fighters are worthy opponents, and it’s hard to predict who will win. However, I believe William Zepeda will win by technical knockout.

Fighters’ Profiles and Strength

Mikaela Mayer – WLWWL

Mikaela Mayer suffered her only pro defeat in October 2022. She lost her world junior lightweight titles to Alycia Baumgardner by split decision. Mayer bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Silvia Bortot in September. At 33, the American boxer has a 19-1 record, with five wins by KO. She was the former unified super featherweight champion.

Mayer’s main event in Liverpool is her chance to shine and take the title from the reigning champion. With her hunger for victory and calculated approach, Mayer is a tough contender in this high-stakes fight.

Sandy Ryan – LWDWW

Sandy Ryan is preparing for her next match. She comes in with a strong three-fight winning streak, having recently defeated Aleksandra Vujovic, Kirstie Bavington, and Maria Capriolo. Ryan once challenged for the vacant WBC International Female Super Lightweight Title but lost to Erica Farias by unanimous decision.

In 2022, Ryan successfully defended the WBC International Female Super Lightweight Title with a unanimous decision over Anahi Esther Sanchez. She went on to win the vacant WBO World Female Welterweight Title in 2023, also by unanimous decision. Last September, she fought for the unified welterweight title, but the match ended in a split decision due to McCaskill’s toughness. Though a rematch is unlikely, Ryan remains eager to face major opponents like Harper.

Ryan holds a 6-1-1 professional record, with two wins by knockout. She has a decorated amateur background, with gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and silver at the 2014 World Championships, before turning professional. Known for her powerful body shots, Ryan excels on the inside. She also has a great jab and a fierce backhand.

Some of her key victories include Erica Farias, to win the vacant WBC International Female Super Lightweight Title, Anahi Ester Sanchez in a title defense, and Marie-Pier Houle for the vacant WBO World Female Welterweight Title.

Statistical Matchup

Final Prediction

I’m excited about this fight. It’s underrated but could be the Fight of the Year. I think it will be a close match, even with the age difference. Sandy Ryan is strong, but Mikaela Mayer is more skilled. I believe Mayer will win.

Ryan is good, too. Her fight with Jessica McCaskill was controversial; many felt Ryan should have won. She lost to the experienced Farias and is getting older, which could affect her performance. Though Ryan is tough, I think Mayer has the edge. She’s more skilled, holds the title, and has more fight experience.

I predict Mikaela Mayer will win by decision, and the fight will go past 8.5 rounds.
