What happened: Josh Hokit says another quick turnaround could be in the works, telling Ariel Helwani he might fight as many as two more times before the end of the year. Hokit added that there is "news on the horizon" and suggested a date may already be set.

Why it matters: Stacking multiple bookings in a short window would mark an aggressive push to build momentum and stay active. Hokit framed the pace as the payoff for taking risks, saying it is what happens when you show courage and then back it up.

What to watch: Watch for an official booking to confirm the next opponent and date, and whether a second late-2026 bout follows as Hokit suggested.
