LOS ANGELES - Five months after one of the biggest victories of his professional career against Kevin Mitchell, WBC Lightweight World Champion Jorge "El Nino de Oro" Linares will celebrate by fighting in his native Venezuela for the first time in more than five years as he defends his title for the second time against Mexico's Ivan "Macanon" Cano on Saturday, October 10.

The 12-round title fight, which will take place at The Poliedro de Caracas, will air on ESPN Deportes on Sunday, October 11 starting at 9:00 p.m. ET on a two-hour tape delay. It will be Linares' first bout in his home country since a 10-round decision victory over Francisco Lorenzo on March 27, 2010. [Click Here To Read More]

Always keen to see Linares - he's never in a boring fight. Surprisingly, I'm also keen to see Ustinov. If he looks good, he should seek a rematch with Pulev in 2016. Winner of that could face the winner of Joshua-Whyte.

Might get to see Khomitsky snatch another "0"

doubt it joshuas going backwards, all these guys saying whytes a real test, have bought hearns garbage. I'd be glad if aj fights a few more cans I have a bet on him NOT becoming world champ by the end of 2016.

I don't think Whyte's much of a test, but it's good to get him out of the way in preparation for a Euro-level 2016. The winner of this fight, or Helenius-Teper, or Thompson-Scott, or Pulev-Arias, make the most sense for Joshua. Maybe even Wilder's leftovers like Duhaupas or Molina.

Big fan of Linares, I always say when his Skin and Chin holds up then man is a Top 5-10 P4P Talent
