THE OTHERS

These six fighters are ones to watch out for

SHAKUR STEVENSON

A former WBO featherweight boss, the outstanding Stevenson moved up to super-featherweight last year and has his sights set on claiming world honours there. His next stop after this would logically be lightweight.

GEORGE KAMBOSOS JNR

Tenacious and determined, Kambosos

[below] overcame Lee Selby in an IBF final eliminator to put himself in prime position to challenge Teofimo Lopez. Not lacking in self-belief, he would no doubt be confident of causing an upset.

MASAYOSHI NAKATANI

An all-action aggressor, the long and lean Nakatani is coming off a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over Felix Verdejo. The entertaining slugger also gave a good account of himself when opposing Teofimo Lopez.

GARY RUSSELL JNR

Russell is a real wildcard, considering he has spent all of his career as a featherweight so far. The long-time WBC 126lb champion has made no secret of his desire to jump up two divisions and test himself at lightweight.

DENYS BERINCHYK

Following a successful stint in the amateurs, where he medalled at the Olympics and the Worlds, Berinchyk entered the pro ranks and has since advanced to the fringes of world level. Can he now make that next step?

MICHEL RIVERA

Rivera is yet to contest a 12-rounder but he is nonetheless brimming with potential. Now showcasing his talents in America, he has defeated Fidel Maldonado Jnr and Ladarius Miller in his two most recent appearances.
