1. Anthony Cacace vs. Leigh Wood - Junior Lightweight Fight (DAZN, Saturday at 2 p.m. ET)

After Wood's last fight, he expressed his desire to conclude his career with a world title fight at the City Ground, home of English Premier League club Nottingham Forest. Although this won't happen, the junior lightweight bout remains significant. Wood (28-3, 17 KOs) is fighting in front of his home city fans in Nottingham, at the indoor arena where Carl Froch built his illustrious career.

Cacace (23-1, 8 KOs), from Belfast, Northern Ireland, relinquished his IBF world title to make this fight happen. Despite no recognized titles being on the line, this match features two top operators in the division. Wood was No. 1 at featherweight before relinquishing the WBA belt following a seventh-round stoppage win over Josh Warrington in October 2023. Cacace has been more active and holds significant height and reach advantages. The winner could face the winner of Saturday's Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez WBO title fight.

2. Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez - Junior Lightweight Title Fight (ESPN/ESPN+, Saturday at 10 p.m. ET)

Navarrete, a three-division world champion, looked sensational in his last outing when he crushed Oscar Valdez with a shot to the liver in their rematch in December. Navarrete (39-2-1, 32) defends his WBO junior lightweight belt against the Philippines' Suarez in San Diego on Saturday. A good performance can strengthen his place at the top of the 130-pound division. Navarrete was ruthless versus Valdez, flooring him three times before the stoppage, and another stunning display could perhaps convince him to try another crack at the lightweight division.

3. Erickson Lubin vs. Ardreal Holmes Jr. - Junior Middleweight Title Eliminator (PROBOX TV, Saturday at 6 p.m. ET)

This is a clash of two southpaws who desperately need to win this IBF junior middleweight title eliminator. Lubin (26-2, 18 KOs), from Orlando, Florida, has the experience but is coming off a long layoff. Holmes (17-0, 6 KOs), from Flint, Michigan, is less experienced but has the momentum after registering three wins in 2024. The winner progresses to fight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev.

4. Fernando Martinez vs. Kazuto Ioka - Junior Bantamweight Title Fight on Sunday

After a relentless firefight last July, Martinez and Ioka meet again Sunday in Tokyo, and more of the same is expected. Martinez (17-0, 9 KOs) won a unanimous decision after he outlanded Ioka in their unification title fight in Japan. Ioka (31-3-1, 16 KOs), from Japan, began his career 16 years ago, and he will have to roll back the years to keep pace with the 33-year-old WBA champion from Argentina.

5. Souleymane Cissokho vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas - WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator on Saturday

Equatorial Guinea, the site of Saturday's fight, is 2,000 miles from Senegal, where Cissokho (17-0, 9 KOs) was born. But it will still feel like a homecoming fight for him. He will fulfill a dream of boxing in Africa when he takes on Kavaliauskas (24-2-1, 19 KOs) in a WBC welterweight title eliminator in the capital of Malabo. Cissokho, who is due a title shot, is based in Paris but trains in California with Virgil Hunter. If he wins, he will get that opportunity and time in the spotlight.
