Foreign hello, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, we’re going to start off not with headlines regarding Ryan, Garcia or Oscar De La Hoya, but in fact some news uh coming out of Montreal a bit of a A recap of a recent fight at the Montreal Casino Montauk back on Thursday that’d be June, 1st uh on ESPN, plus.
By the way I have the tiger management put on a show and presented in their main event, NABA and nabf super middleweight champ Eric bazanyan uh, and he defended against Jose El changantito.
This is Messiah of Mexico in a solid 10 round bout that could have gone either way um anyway uh, as I said, NBA and then ABF super middleweight champ, But Eric bazanyan he’s now 30-0 uh out of originally Armenia and now living in Montreal que back uh.
Sadly, defeated uh, Jose De Jesus, who’s, 28, 12 and four by the way, although by most accounts, it seem to be a really good, close fight, um, so good good news for either tiger management.
Good news for Quebec fighting and good news for um uh young Eric bazion, who we’ve promoted quite a bit here on talk and fight, and I hope he continues on his role: 30-0 undefeated.
Let’S move along to uh the heavyweights, because we have some peculiar news uh, you know, there’s been some shake-ups that we know uh with respect to who’s, going to fight who, who wants to fight who, who will be fighting? Who? So here we go? Auntie Joshua has rejected a fight with Tyson Fury and let’s go back to [ Music ] um um.
Let’S see it’s cool.
Who am I quoting here? Frank War yeah.
Let me clarify, let me clarify: what’s actually happened with Tyson Fury versus Auntie Joshua last week a written proposal was sent to matrium for AJ to fight Tyson.
In September, Eddie Hearn came back and spoke to my son George.
He said it’d take a couple of days to see where they’re at with it a few days passed and George met with AJ’s management company.
Yesterday they confirmed AJ is fighting indeed Dubai in December against Deontay Wilder.
That is his preferred route.
Uh Warren believes there’s a chance for Joshua to do both as there are plans in place for warm-up fight against dillian white.
Around the same time, there is space to open up in August, AJ versus white, for example, replace that with the AJ versus Fury, I suppose, but they basically do not want to do the fight.
But AJ has chosen not to take the fight anyway and that’s where we’re at the Queensbury boss also stated that Joshua has already accepted the terms re-offered in the latest contract.
The only sticking point was Joshua accepting the fight.
When Tyson said there was a draft contract.
What happened is we had prepared to draft contract the last time we had negotiations and so there’s nothing to be concerned about regarding negotiations.
It was just as if they were wanted the fight or not.
So let’s move along to have a quick look at Tyson.
Fury’S uh upcoming scenarios um.
No, let’s take a let’s take a quicker look at what AJ is going to do so speaking to uh boxing social Eddie Hearn confirmed that he has booked the O2 Arena in London for August 12th for a rematch between Joshua and long time, rival, dillian white but Admitted that the deal is far from complete, he said we have the O2 Arena held for that date.
Yes, we want to make AJ versus dillian white.
That is the fight that we want to make for August 12th.
We still have to close that deal and we’re not there yet at all.
So we have other opponents in mind, but we would like to fight dillian White.
We are also looking at Satan for that fight, but we do have the O2 books for August 12th right.
So here’s a what I put into the funny column um.
The latest call out with respect to Tyson Fury and the potential opponent comes from Jerrell Miller, an almost opponent for Auntie and Joshua by the way, before falling before failing doping tests um for various substances.
Having served a band for another violation, uh Miller is backfighting and looking for a big Night Under The Lights, he took the Instagram to address Tyson Fury directly and here’s what he had to say.
It’S your boy, Big Baby Miller here, the original one, and only king of talking and backing it up, listen man.
This is to my boy, Gypsy King, AKA, Tyson Fury.
I heard you’re looking for an opponent.
Let’S cut this, you know who’s.
The best and biggest option is nothing personal, just business.
Your people call my people work on them, dollar signs and we get it.
Cracking it’d, be my official honor to beat your ass and give you your first loss.
That’S drill Miller.
Now that prompted one of my friends over boxing news24.
com Jake Turnin, to say well, you know, Fury is going to need a warm-up fight if he is going to fight in December and recognizing that Music’s Got a fight coming up, Joshua’s got a fight so who would Uh be uh, be looked at by Frank Warren as a potential opponent for Tyson Fury.
Well, here are some names to consider, and I do like the fourth name on this list: foreign Sanchez, Andy Ruiz and here’s.
My favorite Jared Anderson, Martin bacoli Linea pero, our son back mahmund off and Otto Wallen Fury, would become a off a Year’s layoff by the time he faces ibf WBO, WBO, champ, music in Saudi Arabia in December.
That’S not a deal to be fighting a mobile Sharpshooter like U6, who will take advantage of Fury’s ring rust to pick him apart.
Uh the semify.
It’S a huge fight, it’s incredibly lucrative for AJ.
It’S one of the hugest fights in boxing said that he Hearn.
We don’t really uh, we don’t feel real comfortable and he doesn’t feel comfortable in changing those two fight plans.
Uh scrapping them in the hope of making a Tyson Fury fight, so it doesn’t look like AJ is going to be fighting Fury and it doesn’t really look like Fury is going to be fighting anyone anytime soon, so we’ll have to wait and see.
But speaking of Tyson Fury and his uh former trainer Sugar Hill Stewart believes Ben Whitaker.
Someone who we talked about during the Olympics a year or two ago said Ben Whitaker will go all the way not only to become a world champion, but it has all the components he needs to be a superstar Stuart well regarded, notably for guiding Tyson Fury through His two victories over Deontay Wilder and other high-profile fights has coached Olympic silver medalist Whitaker from his professional debut.
Although they’ve had only three fights together Stewart rates, what he has seen from Whitaker in the gym and in the ring he said, Whitaker has a lot more than just talents, a lot of talent out there, but there’s not a lot of Fighters who have all those Other components that make them a superstar, he has talent outside the ring.
Charisma ability to entertain ability to talk to be able to deal with people to deal with different situations overcome adversity, want more to still have that hard work ethic and things like that said Steward wow, and that is a rare cocktail of ingredients for a boxer.
Indeed, let’s pop, along to gervanta Davis, the ongoing saga so uh, his former girlfriend, withdrew her charges down in Florida.
So I got him out of hot water down there, but uh just prior to his fight with Garcia um.
You know he he was facing some jail time and got away with house arrest.
However, here come the headlines.
Superstar boxer, javonta Davis bought a brand new 3.
4 million home.
Apparently a penthouse suite to serve his house arrest sentence only to be jailed soon.
Afterward tank paid the whopping figure according to a Baltimore realtor after looking to rent for the remainder of his 90-day sentence and Beyond, however, just a short time after his intent, just Davis was ordered Behind Bars.
His incarceration was due to alleged breach of his conditions attorney.
Michael Tomko updated several news sources in the updated authorities staged an impromptu hearing on Thursday to ensure Davis could not enjoy the luxury of his new asset.
Davis has been.
A lot had been allowed to remain in the custody of his surroundings, provided he adhered to the terms laid down by the judge overseeing the case.
It was expected that Davis would serve some time in custody anyway, the maximum he could hope for for his part.
In that hit and run incident was seven years as it turned out and despite being informed by Circuit Judge Althea M handy that has plead for non-custodial sentence was overruled.
Davis got the very bare minimum punishment, but even that proved too much for the pay-per-view fighter.
He will now have to serve at least two months in jail.
The irony that Davis would buy such an extravagant home only to be confined to a small cell is staggering to be sure.
Now you want to know what’s staggering, how much athletes are getting paid these days, so this was particularly related to boxers uh.
The headline screams only two boxers feature on Forbes highest paid athletes list in 2023.
.
I’M just going to go through the top five because it is indeed staggering.
Cristiano Ronaldo soccer player, whopping total 136 million a year.
That’S 46: in sport, 90 million out of sport, Lionel Messi comes in second also a soccer player, 130 million, with 65 million in sport and 65 million out of sport.
Another soccer player Kylie mabape 120 million in total 100 million in sport, 20 million out of sport.
Fourth LeBron James, the basketball player King James 119.
5 million in total 44.
5 million in sport, 75 million out of sport; wow number five guess who it is: Canelo Alvarez, yes, 110 million in total 100 million in sport and 10 million out of sport.
So um, who is um well AJ’s in their areas, number 28 uh Auntie Joshua, 53 million in total 50 million in sport, 3 million out of sport.
So someone needs to up his uh sponsorship earnings.
