Boxing and MMA Roundup I

Rather than creating 10 threads for each individual piece, just a roundup. Everything else such as major events will still get individual threads. Any future events with existing threads such as Joshua vs Wilder will have news posted there. Rather than this being a weekly thing, it'll just be posted whenever there's a decent flurry of news and will be an individual thread each time to coincide with the idea of moving away from general mega threads.

Tyson Fury opponent named as cruiserweight Sefer Seferi. Pretty much a tune up. Similar to Haye in his return, can't blame Tyson and he's still got age on his side. Something Haye didn't have.

Amir Khan is likely to fight Adrien Broner in Vegas over Brook in the UK. Can't fault this either. Khan is still a name in the US and a win there would throw him right back into the Vegas 147 scene. Brook brought all of this onto himself. There's nobody worth a few bucks that wants to travel to Sheffield to bother with him.

Conor McGregor and Khabib is touted for September.

Adonis Stevenson drew with Badou Jack, this leaves a rematch with Bellew looking bleak as its likely we'll see an ordered rematch first.

The only logical opponent for Lomachenko now is Mikey Garcia.

Daniel Cormier vs Stipe Miocic is still set to go ahead, fingers crossed. Daniel Cormier aims to become the second fighter to hold two titles at once. (Conor McGregor being the first, Featherweight and Lightweight)
However, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight would be a monumental achievement.

Dana White confirmed Brock Lesnar will make UFC return. CM Punk's second attempt is also still a go.
