Amir Khan has confirmed that he is talks for a showdown with Manny Pacquiao but it will not occur on the Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury undercard on December 11.

Nico Ali Walsh has reportedly wrapped up training camp for his middleweight main event against undefeated Treavon Craycraft this Saturday, October 10, at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas. Ali Walsh, 12-2-1 (5 KOs), now fighting out of Las Vegas and Craycraft, 9-0-1 (3 KOs), of Ambridge, Pennsylvania, will headline the professional portion of the two-day “Heart of America Pro + Am Boxing Invitational” presented by BiYu Promotions and broadcast live, worldwide, on CombatVisionTV.

Derek Chisora claims he has met resistance from the British Boxing Board of Control regarding his plans to return in December. However, the BBBoC’s Robert Smith has told BoxingScene that he has not spoken to the 42-year-old for several months.

Jake Paul, still plotting his return after Anthony Joshua shattered his jaw in December, has suggested he would like at least 14 more fights – against the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Deontay Wilder, Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis – before retiring.

The British Boxing Board of Control will discuss the performance of referee Kieran McCann during Ben Whittaker’s victory over Conor Wallace on Saturday but any action being taken against the official is unlikely.

Plans to stage Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight showdown into the early hours of December 12 are open to public objections until November 3, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium still awaiting permission to extend its operating hours.

WBO president Gustavo Olivieri has revealed that former middleweight champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, top contender Jacob Bank and their respective representatives have reached an agreement on terms for the pair to meet for the WBO super middleweight world championship left vacant by Hamzah Sheeraz.

Two more entertaining fights have been added to ProBoxTV’s next “Championship Series” main card, on Friday, October 16, as Bryan Acosta will face once-beaten Carlos Orona in a 10-round “All Mexico” slugfest, while prospects Charles Harris and Misael Cabrera will go to war in a super lightweight 10-rounder. Both additional bouts will be held in support of WBC No. 16-ranked junior middleweight Kevin Anton facing once-beaten Freudis “Freddy” Rojas in the 10-round main event. WBC No. 5-ranked Justin Pauldo faces WBO No. 11-ranked Rene Tellez Giron in the 10-round lightweight co-main event. The blockbuster event will be broadcast live (8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm MT) from the Rawhide Western Town & Event Center in Phoenix, Arizona
