          After two July dates for Jamel Herring were wiped out when he tested positive for COVID-19, Herring is lined up to finally defend his title against Jonathan Oquendo Saturday night in Las Vegas. The WBO junior lightweight world titlist hopes to dispatch Oquendo and position himself for a more lucrative bout against Carl Frampton.
