Boxing tonight (August 17, 2024): What are the fights lined up?

Boxing tonight opens with a Queensberry Promotions event broadcast by TNT Sports at 2:00 PM E.T. / 11:00 AM P.T. for American fans and 7:00 PM B.S.T. for viewers in the United Kingdom.

The card is headlined by Denzel Bentley, who defends his WBO International Middleweight title against the streaking Derrick Osaze. In more championship action, surging power-punching prospect Aloys Junior faces undefeated German knockout artist Oronzo Birardi.

The pair compete for the vacant WBA Continental Cruiserweight title. Elsewhere, another heavy-handed, unbeaten boxer in Ben Fail takes on perennial loser Omir Rodriguez at super welterweight. Another undefeated prospect, Billy Adams, faces the seasoned but unremarkable Marvin Solano at super featherweight.

In a similar fashion, Josh Frankham puts his undefeated record on the line against the losing Artjom Spatar at super welterweight. Meanwhile, the super lightweight division plays host to boxing newcomer Luke McCormack, competing in his sophomore professional fight against boxing write-off Yauheni Aleinik.

In yet another matchup between an undefeated prospect and a frequently defeated foe, the unbeaten William Hamilton locks horns with 14-fight loser Perry Howe at heavyweight. Several divisions below at welterweight, Mason Payne makes his professional debut against 12-fight loser John Henry Mosquera.

Another boxer, Frankie Wood, also makes his professional debut at super featherweight against the woeful Engel Gomez, who is on a 34-fight losing streak. The theme of debutants taking on highly overmatched foes continues in the super flyweight division.

Mykyle Ahmed steps into the professional boxing ring for the very first time against complete washout Stephen Jackson, who hasn't tasted victory since 2020 in his only win, with the rest of his record consisting of 52 losses and one draw.
