Vergil Ortiz Jr. and David Avanesyan have signed up to fight each other in Texas, August 6th. That should be a good scrap. Avanesyan is a full on, pressure fighter and Ortiz is an undefeated, stopped every opponent, hard hitting puncher.

It didn't really get mentioned, but Zach Parker's interim world title fight at Pride Park against Demetrius Andrade. Got postponed because Andrade suffered a shoulder injury. The WBO have now withdrew sanctioning it as a world title fight altogether as Andrade will be out for 4 months. Parker is still the mandatory challenger, but Canelo holds the full title and will fight GGG next. So the whole fight for Parker has been scrapped and won't fight anyone else for the interim world title.

I guess the fight was sanctioned in the first place because Andrade was WBO middleweight champion but vacated and was going to moved up to super moddleweight. Without Andrade in the equation, the fight won't happen at all.
