The weekend is approaching, and from Friday to Sunday it will be "fight-o-clock" somewhere in the world. Every Thursday, The Ring will bring you the most up-to-date information on the most relevant fights you need to see in this week-at-a-glance, one-stop enhanced fight schedule. A quick checklist for the cognoscenti, a useful nuts-and-bolts guide for the boxing neophyte is what we’re aiming at.
Here are this week's most relevant fights:
Friday, May 31 – Caribe Royale, Orlando, Fla.
Kevin Brown vs. Idalberto Umara – junior welterweight – 10 rounds
If you're a fan of following young talents since their earliest days if only to build up your bragging rights of having seen them when they were nobodies, this one's for you. Don't let the name fool you. Brown is a 100% Cuban fighter straight out of the island's stellar amateur program, and he will be one to watch in the future. Start now!

Avtandil Khurtsidze vs. Victor Exner – super middleweight – 6 rounds
Piotr Lacz vs. Joe Jones – heavyweight – 6 rounds
Saturday, June 1 – Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang – heavyweight – 12 rounds
One of the many great matchups that the surprisingly strong heavyweight division has to offer. Wilder remains a one-punch demolition machine, and even though he hasn't posted significant results in a while he is still an instant early favorite in every one of his fights. Zhang does pack a wallop, but his successes so far have been in the 5-10 range of the Top 10 of the division, and this should be the ultimate test for him to show he can carry his power against the elite. An intriguing clash, no doubt.

Filip Hrgovic vs. Daniel Dubois – heavyweight – 12 rounds
Dmitry Bivol vs. Malik Zinad – light heavyweight – 12 rounds
Raymond Ford vs. Nick Ball – featherweight – 12 rounds
