The Nevada State Athletic Commission recently approved Top Rank date requests for Aug. 6, Aug. 13, Aug. 20 and Aug. 27, all Thursdays.

Dillian Whyte says he was enraged when he heard that a two-fight deal agreed for Tyson Fury to face Anthony Joshua and has questioned whether Eddie Hearn has done enough to push the case for him to get a shot at Fury’s WBC heavyweight title before Joshua.
