This isn't really news, or a surprise but I think it deserves attention to make it known that It's Showtime's scheduled event for July 21 in Arona, Tenerife, Spain will still happen. It's actually a pretty good card featuring the likes of Andy Souwer and Andy Ristie just three weeks after winning at It's Showtime's last event on June 30.

The main event is Andy Souwer vs. Zeben Diaz. Another really nice 70kg fight on the card is Andy Ristie vs. Abraham Roqueni. The It's Showtime 61MAX World Champion Javier Hernandez will finally be back in action for It's Showtime, defending his title against Masahiro Yamamoto. Other fights include Amir Zeyada vs. Moises Ruibal II, Sergei Lascenko vs. Loren Javier Jorge and Murthel Groenhart vs. Maximo Suarez.

It's still unclear, and probably undecided if It's Showtime events will continue on. The event on this coming July 21 was already set and primed for success in a successful market, and not to mention that it was three weeks away. It's Showtime also had four other events scheduled aside from the July 21 show this year before being acquired by GLORY. The dates were:

September 17 in Yokohama, Japan

October 1 in Belgium

November 10 in Sao Paolo, Brazil

December 1 in Barcelona, Spain

Of these dates, we know that the show in Japan was booked and there was a very early fight card out. There was a deal signed for the show in Brazil also. We don't know what will happen with these events. They could either continue on as It's Showtime events, be rebranded as GLORY shows, or just not happen, whatever GLORY decides on.
