Amari Jones kicked off Friday night with a super stoppage in San Jose, but the big one is in another continent as Oleksandr Usyk defends his heavyweight titles against Rico Verhoeven in Giza, Egypt.
10 months out of the ring and weighing a career-heaviest 233.3 pounds, Oleksandr Usyk will hope for another emphatic performance when defending his heavyweight titles against Rico Verhoeven atop a stacked "Glory in Giza" card on Saturday night.
Elsewhere, more world titles are up for grabs when Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KOs) faces ambitious underdog Alem Begic (29-0-1, 23 KOs) for the vacant WBO super middleweight strap.
Ring and WBO junior bantamweight beltholder Mizuki Hiruta (10-0, 2 KOs) looks to continue her fine form against Egyptian-born Mai Soliman (10-1, 6 KOs) and Britain's Jack Catterall (32-2, 14 KOs) has a career-best challenge against Shakhram Giyasov (17-0, 10 KOs) for the WBA 'regular' welterweight strap.
Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez (14-0, 12 KOs) faces Frank Sanchez (25-1, 18 KOs) knowing big rewards await the winner, and their heavyweight clash is one of three bouts Coppinger believes doesn't go the distance.
Coppinger went 3-1 with last week's picks, here's a reminder of how they looked: Chukhadzhian decision -- Paddy Donovan beat Karen Chukhadzhian (SD12) in a career-best win Hrgovic TKO/KO9 -- Filip Hrgovic raced to a third-round finish of Dave Allen in Doncaster Norman TKO/KO6 -- Brian Norman declared he's back after a second-round stoppage of Josh Wagner Davis decision -- Keyshawn Davis (UD12) ensured there was no Nahir Albright revenge in their rematch
