Fight fans are in for a treat this July as there's a major fight on every weekend. From huge domestic dust-ups in boxing to fascinating world title fights in UFC.

The combat extravaganza begins this weekend with the stacked UFC 239.

International Fight Week culminates with UFC 239 as two titles are on the line not to mention a potential No.1 welterweight contender bout.

UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes defends her belt against Holly Holm, and, in the main-event, Jon Jones defends his 205 lbs crown against Brazilian slugger Thiago Santos.

Ben Askren vs. Jorge Masvidal, Luke Rockhold vs. Jan Blachowicz and Diego Sanchez vs. Michael Chiesa makes up the thrilling main-card.

A week later from Saudi Arabia, Amir Khan returns to the squared circle. He faces Billy Dib with Hughie Fury also in action as he takes on Samuel Peter.

Boxing's heavyweight division then takes center stage. On July 13, Joe Joyce is set for his toughest test as he battles American veteran Bryant Jennings which precedes Daniel Dubois vs. Nathan Gorman. An intriguing bout pitting two undefeated prospects.

More heavyweight action goes down on July 20 as Dereck Chisora, Artur Szpilka, Dave Allen, David Price, Dillian Whyte and Oscar Rivas are all set to compete.
