The lightweight division is the most exciting weight class in boxing today.
Stacked with an extraordinary array of talented fighters, the best of them are on course to box one another in what promises to be a sequence of super-fights.
In recent weeks on Sky Sports Devin Haney retained his undisputed title against George Kambosos and Shakur Stevenson signalled he would move up to 135lbs after dismantling Olympic champion Robson Conceicao.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, from 1am on Sky Sports Arena, former champion Vasiliy Lomachenko returns to the sport and will look to showcase his unique abilities against Jamaine Ortiz at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
Elsewhere, even though Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia might not have fought as high a level of opposition as consistently, both have the gifts to be a threat for anyone at lightweight.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has hailed this as another special era that could rival the greats of the past.
