Yeah - no wonder Mikey’s happy just sitting back and chilling. Crazy money for the Vargas fight.

He should be doing all he can to fight Taylor and/or await the guys coming up from Lightweight.

At least Canelo brings subscribers to DAZN - there’s no way that the Garcia/Vargas brought in $10m of value.

It was Garcia's first fight on DAZN, he may have brought in some subs.. Defo a loss overall.

This will likely be Fight Camp Week 2..

The second week's card will also see Florian Marku take on Maxim Prodan and world champion Shannon Courtenay defend her title in a rematch with Rachel Ball. Heavyweight Johnny Fisher will also be on the card.

Isn't it Ebanie Bridges vs Bec Connolly? With Courtney Vs Ball in week 1?

Also, it says "Josh Warrington" to the right of the fights. Not sure if he'll be on the card, in attendance or he'll face the winner.

Got plenty of respect for the Aussie after her last performance, she put BJS to shame, however she still isn't very good.
I'm guessing they are building her up as an easy defense v Rachel Ball, but she could easily slip up here.
Nevertheless she deserves something after fighting with that bad eye.

Jazza Dickens always knew he would face Kid Galahad again, who promises the rematch will be even better than their first thrilling fight

Jazza Dickens says he always knew he would cross paths with Kid Galahad again ahead of their IBF featherweight title fight next month.

The series of 'Fight Camp' events takes place at Matchroom Boxing HQ in July and August, and will be broadcast live across the world on DAZN.

Headlining week two of Fight Camp on August 7, Jazza Dickens challenges Kid Galahad for the vacant IBF featherweight title.

Dickens (30-3, 11 KOs) heads into the fight on the back of winning The Golden Contract, defeating Ryan Walsh in the final back in December.

He now turns his attention to Galahad (27-1, 16 KOs), as they resume their rivalry following a previous battle for the British super-bantamweight title back in September 2013.

The two men will meet for the vacant IBF strap, formerly held by Josh Warrington.

Several MTK Global fighters are also in action on week three on August 14, as another Golden Contract winner, Ricards Bolotniks, goes up against Joshua Buatsi, Michael McKinson meets Przemyslaw Runowski, Savannah Marshall defends her WBO middleweight title, plus Tasha Jonas also returns.

Dickens, Galahad, McKinson, Marshall and Jonas were all present at the launch press conference and they all had plenty to say ahead of their respective bouts.

Dickens said: “It’s been eight years since the first fight. I always knew it would come again, and I’ve been waiting for it a long time.

“I’ve had losses along the way and I’ve had to build myself back up. There is nothing harder than having to do that, but I’ve worked hard to be here and I’m happy to have this opportunity.

“I need to thank MTK Global, Tony Bellew, DAZN, and Matchroom. Boxing is a conveyor belt, and it’s a blessing. I will take this chance with both hands and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Galahad said: “Whatever happened in the past has happened. Me and Jazza will start where we left off. The first fight was unbelievable, and the second one will be even better.

“I know Jazza personally, he lives the life like me. I just believe I’m better in every department. It’s not personal, but we’ll both go in there to try and take each other’s head off.”

McKinson said: “I’m so happy to be here. I earned my spot in Gibraltar and now I’m really excited to showcase my skills on such a great event like this. I’ve been knocking on the door for a while and I just needed that one opportunity.

“I’m ranked fourth in the world by the WBO and MTK Global do a great job with me. I’m finally getting the credit and recognition I deserve, and it’s a tough challenge in my next fight.

“Those that know me know that I prefer to be in fights like this. I’m very ambitious and I’m confident of producing a good performance and getting a good win, and then we’ll look at who’s next.”

Jonas said: “Every time I’ve asked to step up and put on a performance I do. I haven’t failed yet and it’s been Fight of the Year contenders every time.

“For me being the underdog and having to step up means I go away and train better. I don’t take negatives from any fights. I’m always looking at the positives. I learn from it and make sure it doesn’t happen next time.

“I’m not a small super-featherweight so I can go up and down the weights. Anybody with a title is a target for me and nothing has ever changed.”

Jazza Dickens: The momentum is with me against Kid Galahad

Jazza Dickens has a big fight coming against Kid Galahad on Aug. 7, headlining a Matchroom Fight Camp show with the vacant IBF featherweight title on the line.

The two have met before, with Galahad beating Dickens via 10th round TKO in 2013, and Dickens, now 30, says he always figured he’d get another fight with Galahad.

“When I lost, I knew it would come to this. I knew I’d get my revenge,” Dickens told Boxing Social. “But I knew we wouldn’t meet again until it was a world title fight. I think after our fight, he took off big time. He was flying.”

He continued, “But he got busted for PEDs, and I think he lost momentum. I lost, as well. I then stepped ahead of him, fought for a world title, and I lost. Then he stepped ahead of me, fought for a world title and lost, and now he’s fighting me for a world title. I think we’ve both been progressing, but I feel like the momentum is with me right now. It comes and it goes, you know what I mean?”

Dickens (30-3, 11 KO) is coming off of a big win in MTK Global’s Golden Contract tournament, beating Carlos Ramos, Leigh Wood, and Ryan Walsh to fight his way into position to face Galahad (27-1, 16 KO). The 31-year-old Galahad lost a controversial decision to Josh Warrington in a title fight in 2019, and came back strong eight months later in Feb. 2020, dominating and stopping Claudio Marrero.

Wardly vs web on this card. Wardly is a couple of classes above, but he was getting hit with looping rights in his last outing, and looping rights is webs only punch so i guess he is a punches chance. I'd like to see wardly adjust and not get hit with any of them big telegraphed looping rights and get a strait forwards win with an earlish stoppage.

Looking forward to that one to be fair.

Puts Wardley probably as a justified mandatory for the British.
