Welcome back to the daily dose of Sportskeeda’s Boxing News Roundup, where we discuss the biggest names in boxing and what’s going on with them.
In today’s issue, we’ll look at the WBC’s order for Prograis vs. Zepeda, Oscar De La Hoya’s interest in Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz, how to win a signed glove from Oleksandr Usyk, and Manny Pacquiao fighting in Seoul.
Let’s get into it!
#4. WBC Orders Programs vs. Zepeda
The WBC have now ordered Regis Prograis vs. Jose Zepeda for the vacant WBC super-lightweight world title. Jose Ramirez was initially ordered to face Zepeda, but has ruled himself out of contention due to his upcoming wedding and instead intends to face the winner.

<p>Now that the Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. event on August 6th in Madison Square Garden is canceled, Oscar De La Hoya has weighed in on a matchup between Paul and Nate Diaz.</p>
<p>Diaz is set to have his last fight with the UFC against Khamzat Chimaev on September 10, 2022. Upon his release, De La Hoya is interested in bringing him into Golden Boy Promotions. Diaz has always been vocal about his interest in him in making a transition to boxing, and now might be the perfect time to do so.</p>
<p>De La Hoya stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Sorry for your cancellation due to unprofessional fighters not making weight. Let’s talk @jakepaul vs. @natediaz209 when he’s free from the @ufc. Imagine the @goldenboyboxing machine behind it? Will be huge!!!”</p></blockquote>

<p>It has been announced that Manny Pacquiao will be returning to the ring for an exhibition bout in December in Seoul, South Korea. His opponent is DK Yoo, a YouTuber and fighting coach who specializes in self-defense training.</p>
<p>Yoo, who has some ring experience, recently faced UFC veteran Bradley Scott in a six-round boxing match. He has also continued to try his hand at facing different competitors in their respective disciplines, though it is unlikely he has ever faced anyone at the level of Manny Pacquiao.</p>
