Best quarrels in October
1. O’Shaquie Foster (-1125) vs Stephen Fulton (even) – on prime video on PBC PPV on 25 October
Fulton Junior Lightweight is challenging for the world title in his first battle as he tries to become three-wisdom champions. His only defeat came from stopping To Naoya Inau In July 2023, in Junior Fedarweight, and since then he surpassed Carlos Castro in September 2024 and Brandon Figueroa in February.
Fulton (23–1, 8 kos) impressively excluded Figuro in his rematch, excluded them in total punches (214–153), JABS (32–29) and Power Panch (182–114). This is a strategy that he will see to adopt against Foster. But can he achieve the same success against Foster’s clever movement and skill?
After winning back with WBC Junior Lightweight title Win a partition decision Robson Conscaoo, Foster (23-3, 12 KO) in his November Remach raises his career with a win against Fulton. The better size of the foster and access may be decisive against Fulton, which was dropped in round 5 when he fought Castro in Fatherweight.
This is the sixth battle of foster in junior lightweight, and it looks like an opportunity for him to produce a great performance to promote his profile.
2. Joseph Parker (-550) vs. Fabio Wardli (+375) – on 25 October
Wardli may lack experience, but their heart abundance and a large right hand makes this fight worthy of your attention to enthusiasm and potential disturbance.
Wardli (19-0-1, 18 KO) has recently been in recreational quarrel. He Spied to Justice Huni already unbeaten In Round 10 in June, when he was down the scorecard at 83-88, 82-89 and 82-89. After a fierce draw in March 2024, the first round of KO over Fraser Clarke in a rematch after that thrilling finish.
Wardli will walk in the ring to face Parker as an interim champion. But this title does not reflect the actual situation of Wardli among heavyweight elite – That number 10 ranked is a heavyweight In the Divisional rankings of ESPN – and Parker’s recent run was a major setback for him to derail the recent run. Parker (36-3, 24 kos), a former WBO champion, was expecting to challenge the undeniable champion Olexander usyk instead of Wardli, but now he would have to cross Wardli to be in a dispute for a world title shot.
Experienced trainer Andy Lee’s strategy helped, Parker has done smart and fast boxing KO Martin Bakole And exclude the big Panchars Hall jhang And Donty wilder In his last three quarrels. Parker is in favor of winning, but Wardley has created enthusiasm in his last three quarrels and has shown that he can find a way to win the quarrel in which he is behind.
3. Jaron “Boots” Annis (-2000) vs UISMA Lima (+950) – On 11 October on Dajan
“These friends cannot tie my shoes. I am the best in the world, and they know it,” Anis said back in August When the fight against Lima was officially declared.
Such large words demand a big performance ESPN’s No. 1 Welterweight In his junior middleweight debut.
Anis (34–0, 30 kos), against an untoward opponent, is a huge favorite to make a big performance in front of the city fans in Philadelphia.
After uniting IBF and WBA Welterweight title with one Sixth round ko of eimantas stanionis In April, a step in weight is a good step for anis, in which some large matches are available in 154 pounds. Given that not much about Lima is not known, the hope is that Anis will provide a crowded coerak.
The background of this battle is speculation that Anis will progress to face the Virgil Ortis Junior (if the Ortis defeats Ericson Lubin in November), which will be a fight of much more importance.
4. Sebstian Fundora (-500) vs Keith Thurman (+350) – October 25 on prime video on PBC PPV 25 October
“The Toring Inforte” can strongly strengthen itself as the best junior middleweight in the world with the third defense of his WBC belt against experienced Keith Thurman.
The 6-Foot-5 Fundora (23-1-1, 15 kos) has already won two titles this year, Stop Cordel Booker in March And Tim Tsuyu in JulyFundora dropped Tszyu in round 1 and forced him to retire after seven rounds. This was a major win for Fundora, whose height and access benefits will essentially give 5–9½ thurman problems.
Thurman’s best days as Welterweight from 2013 to 2017 seem long ago. He has rarely seen in recent years. since Lose your WBA Welterweight title To Manny Pacquiao In July 2019, he fought only twice. His third round victory over Brock Jarvis In March, his first battle in three years, at the age of 36, was quite well seen to shoot another title.
If Thurman (31–1, 23 KO) may disturb the obstacles to become a two-division world champion, it will be one of the biggest shock this year.
5. Jesus Alejandro Ramos Jr. (-1000) vs Shane Mosley Junior (+550) – PBC PPV on Prime Video on 25 October
A shot in WBC Middleweight Champion Carlos Adams is at stake in this title eliminator, and many will be interested to see how Ramos can perform how the kind of performance can perform.
Ramos (23–1, 19 kos) took this fight after winning his last three. Southpo is now on the verge of big quarrel. A unanimous decision defeat for Erich Lubin in September 2023 has still assured many people what kind of impact Ramos can have, but perhaps it is the fight where he changes the opinion of the people.
But Mosley (22-4, 12 KO) is coming out of the biggest win of his career, winning a unanimous decision on former champion Daniel Jacobs in July 2024 This sent him for retirementAnd has created some speed since losing to Jason Quigley in 2021. This is also his big moment to emerge from his father’s shadow, “Chinese” Shane Mosley, a three-division world champion.
As the two need a win to earn the first world title shot, this fight has the content of competitive, no-compromise and exciting encounter.
6. Mary Spencer (N/A) vs. Mikella Mayor (N/A) – 30 October
The battle is very important for the futures of both fighters, but what is at stake for the mayor is the most interesting aspect of the bout if she wins.
The mayor continued his journey to the divisions as it tries to become a three-waning world champion and establishes megafite together. Cleysa shields, ESPN’s number 1 pound-for-pound Women fighters in boxing.
After beating Sandy Ryan with the verdict In welterweight, in two temptyus tals, 5-9 mayors (21-2, 5 KO) are going directly to the world title battle in junior middleweight. Mayor is an educated boxer with great energy, but how will she face high weight against the 40-year-old Spencer (10-2, 6 KO)?
If the Mayor Triumphs will turn into a possible match with Talk Shields, which will probably be the biggest battle in women’s boxing. Katie Taylor is taking a break From the game.

Shields, the only three-division undisputed champion in women’s boxing, First undisputed heavyweight champion Earlier this year in women’s game. If it is comfortable to move below 154 pounds from heavyweight (more than 175 pounds), fighting with the mayor is possible.
7. Danny Garcia (N/A) vs. Daniel Gonzalez (N/A) – On October 18.
Garcia called it “farewell to Brooklyn”, many fight fans would tune in the Barclays Center or wonder if this could be the last time we see a two-division world champion in a boxing ring, at least in Brooklyn.
If Garcia (37–4, 21 KO) has serious ambitions to achieve a large quarrel, they need to cross Gonzalaj (22–4–1, 7 KO) a year ago to Arisland Lara a year ago. This would be the fourth appearance of Garcia in about five years, and at the age of 37, a third necklace in four quarrels could celebrate it to hang the glove.
If Garcia showed some forms that defeated him such fighters in the Barclays Center such as Eric Morales, Lamont Peterson and Pauli Maliggi, it would be a suitable end for a prestigious career.
