 Ilunga Makabu vs. Thabiso Mchunu 2 : Live Stream Prediction, Odds, Picks Boxing Insider Reveals Best Bets For Jan. 29 Fights Tonight

Ilunga Makabu and Trevor Bryan both defend their world titles on a Don King-promoted bill.

WBC world cruiserweight champion Illunga Makabu returns to action tonight when he defends his belt against mandatory challenger Thabiso Mchunu.

Coming into this fight on the back of a seventh-round stoppage against Olanrewaju Durodola last month, Makabu will be hoping to produce a similar performance in Warren, Ohio. 

If the Congolese fighter is able to get the victory, he may be set for a big money clash with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez later this year — the Mexican is rumoured to be considering a move up to cruiserweight.

This isn't the only world title fight on the bill, however. Trevor Bryan is also in action, defending his WBA 'regular' heavyweight title against the undefeated Jonathan Guidry.
