Hello there boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, we’re going to start off with an interesting uh press release.
I received from uh biva across the pond, but who of higher reached out across the pond the other way and hired an American um as part of their advising medical team licensed clinical psychologist and distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas Brad.
Donahue Dr Brad Donahue has been appointed by the British and Irish boxing authorities Bieber medical Advisory Board, having experienced as a national amateur boxing champion in the U.
S.
Dr Donahue is known internationally for his work, developing the first sport, specific psychological assessment screens and interventions for athletes.
Mental health and performance I raised this because of the conversations we’ve had ongoing on the Friday night panel, as you might recall, with respect to Anthony Joshua and his uh Landing in America for his continued training, and we often discuss uh how much of his recent efforts In the ring have been of a psychological nature anyway, I just want to move on quickly uh through this press release, because it is interesting uh why Bieber is doing this.
Um they’re already taking a a leadership role with respect to health and safety and with respect specifically to they say this following three major life-changing injuries and one fatality on BBB OC, uh sanction not Viva, sanctioned professional boxing events in the UK in 2016, the Biba board Decided it was time for additional procedures in an attempt to try and further reduce bleed to the brain injuries.
The following year, we recruited leading head injury Specialists and forensic scientist, Professor Graham to the Biba medical committee as well, as became the first boxing commission worldwide to introduce the potentially life-saving infrascanners Ringside at our events.
In addition to introducing infrascanners, we also introduced further health and safety initiatives, including rehydration drinks, authorized for contest of eight rounds or more, as well as making it mandatory that all Biba officials are fully trained on head trauma, signs and symptoms, awareness, the head trauma signs and Symptoms awareness initiative has now been extended and all apbc accredited courses run by our team, where the referee judge, supervised inspector or cut cornerman include not only hidden trauma signs and symptoms, but also duty of care.
It is our belief that the essential that is essential that, in order to be able to deliver the highest levels of Duty of care, to competing boxers on event, sanctioned by ourselves that the officials in the ring and ringside, as well as those in the corner of The boxers, when competing, are aware of the signs of possible head trauma when combined with other Biba initiatives such as infrascattering side, rehydration drinks, weight, cutting monitoring.
We believe these initiatives will ensure that those uh that compete on bipa, sanctioned events are receiving the highest possible levels of care within the sport.

On who’s 32 and 2, with 23 Knockouts and former world champion Liam Smith, 32-3-1 19 octets that’ll take place at the AO arena in Manchester England.

With 11 Knockouts uh in in an undercard that prompts it to be a fantastic night of fighting down in Manchester, we also have uh Don King kicking off 2023, with a showdown between WBA number 12 heavyweight champ Jonathan, the king Guidry uh, taking on former WBC champ Bermaine: beware: stivern, he’s 25 5-1 by the way, 21 Knockouts and that’s taking place at the casino Miami Joy Ally in Miami Florida, which I discussed earlier in the week.
So, let’s uh, let’s move along quickly to see what else is happening.
Oh super lightweight, Cesar Francis, is eyeing a shot at the big time as he continues his rise on Pro box uh the following week against Jesus saracho, Francis stated honestly, I’m going to absolutely demolish sriracho, I’m not coming to play games.
I’Ve shown that if you’re not on my level, you get taken out, I’m happy to be back on ProBox TV I’ve trained hard up for this fight.
I want to make a statement and that’s it.
I want big fights in 2023 and I’ve absolutely to.
I have to wipe out people like Sriracha.
If I want to get to them.
Uh the New York stylist discussed the state of the 140 pound division.
He said: look I respect all these top fighters, but I’m in the business of making real fights for television.
I bring action.
I sell tickets in New York.
I can hang with the best in the business I’m sparring and I’ll try to do it on any given fight night.
I’M ready for these big tasks.
I’Ve been an all-around Elite level Fighter for years and to take it on the likes of Richard comney, and I know I can beat guys at that level.
I want real fights.
I want the winner of Barbosa and Pedraza.
I would fight tiafomo any day of the week.
I’M gon na send another statement that I’m ready for all these guys on January 25th, on Pro box TV, well fair enough good for him again Pro box, bringing us some good stuff talking about bringing us good stuff.
We’Ve seen a lot of Oscar De La Hoya, lately posting uh on socials.
He posted a photo of himself and Ryan Garcia with the contract sent to him from gervanta tank Davis management for an April 15th Mega fight on Showtime, pay-per-view De La Hoya made a big production about having the contract, but it’s still not signed.
There will be a lot of unhappy boxing fans if Ryan doesn’t sign the contract because it contains stuff that he and his promoters at Golden Boy aren’t happy with the contract still needs to be looked over by Golden Boys management before it’s signed by the unbeaten Ryan.
He’S 23-0 by the way, 19 Knockouts, but De La Hoya seems optimistic that the fight with javonta will happen in April.
Delaware posted this message on social media last night he said uh finally received the contract.
I had to put the finishing touches and we have a fight April 15th.
Let’S go now, it remains to be seen if the contract gets signed and if both Ryan and tank make it through their training camps without suffering injuries.
That could cause the fight to be postponed and that has happened.
Let’S move on to uh Anthony Joshua, who I mentioned earlier.
Who’S moved over to the states to take uh, take on his level of training to uh anyway, he’s taking a look at Jermaine Franklin and I’ve gone into talks.
Apparently that have started with the American hoping to receive a fight offer, and this comes out of the Dimitri Salita camp uh out of Detroit.
I believe yes, Jermaine is excited about the opportunity to once again show the British boxing fans that he is the best American heavyweight in the world and that’s what promoter Dimitri Salida confirmed regarding the Joshua versus Franklin talks and hopes, as I said, to receive a fight Offer Auntie Joshua versus Jermaine Franklin and they’ve started.
He said with the American promoters hoping to receive an offer for the fight.
In the coming days.
The American heavyweight emerged with credit from a hard-fought points lost to dillian White in November, and is one of the preferred opponents for Joshua’s next fight, which is expected to take place in London.
On April 1st Selita confirmed the initial talks had taken place in recent days for Franklin to fight Joshua, who is attempting to rebuild falling back-to-back World title defeats to Alexander yusuke, and we’ve talked about this.
As I said earlier on the talking Fight Friday night panel.
Salida is awaiting an official offer telling Sky Sports over in the UK.
Yes, Jermaine is excited about the opportunity to once again show the British boxing fans that he’s the best American heavyweight in the world, as you saw in the white fight, Jermaine, is not intimidated by a big name, even if it’s in thousands of miles away from home.
His mind’s mindset is to be the heavyweight champion of the world, be Joshua, beat white in the rematch and fight the winner of Fury versus yousic, quote and quote Dimitri Salida.
Well, that remains to be seen now.
What does remain to be seen if you’re in Manchester is this Mega huge uh, billboard that says quote it won’t be the first time Liverpool have come to Manchester and taken a beating end quote: that’s Chris Eubank Jr in reference to his upcoming fight against Liam Smith, Set to take place upcoming January 21st at the AO arena in Manchester uh presented by Wasserman boxing and boxer, that’s b-o-x-x-e-r um.
It does bring a smile to one’s face.
I must say uh.
I haven’t seen anything like this prior and I that will see much of it in the future, because this must have been expensive but uh.
Let’S, let’s have a look at the uh.
The article that appeared in boxingnews24.
com Chris Eubank Jr has lit the Blue Torch paper ahead of next week’s Blockbuster, all British Showdown by goading arch nemesis Liam Smith, with a giant billboard message in Manchester on January 21st, the two bitter Rivals will collide in front of a Sold out AO arena live in the UK and Republic of Ireland on Sky Sports box office and with the eyes of the sporting World on the northwest.

Games to opponent Smith before the World Turns its attention to their dust up in seven days, plastered across Europe’s second largest digital advertising display just a stone’s throw away from the Old Trafford Eubank Juniors message to staunch Liverpool, supporter Smith, reads.
As I said, it won’t be.
The first time Liverpool have come to Manchester and taken a beating former world champion Smith for his part, who still plays local Sunday League football appeared, live on Sky Sports soccer am show and where he vowed the audience uh.
Why would the audience with his impressive football skills by scoring Sensational volley and completing the Crossbar Challenge, and he is planning his own out of home reply to Eubank Jr in his native merseyside before he takes the shortship across the m62 for next week’s hugely anticipated Showdown? I must say this is fun for UK fans, but I happen to have been born in Lancashire, so this this is a bit of fun for me as well.
The main event in association with Wasserman boxing will take place during boxer unleashed.
The boxer show features a stacked undercard with Richard Rapport, launching his quest for a world title shot in 2023 when he battles former two-time WBO cruiserweight World Champ, Kristoff globe, key and local Jack Massey.

The Beast bukada and Frankie Stinger robot didn’t show what prompts to be an unforgettable start to 2023 uh good stuff for Boxer and uh Wasserman.
We certainly look forward uh to that fight.
Uh.
Speaking of Richard uh, Rick Porey he’s targeting a world title shot against Lauren Lawrence of Coley.
I did not know that, and here we go cursive ESPN, uh Rick poor might not be a name you’re familiar with, but the Cruiserweight Contender insists.
This will be his breakout year as long as he maintains his unbeaten record against former world champion Christoph glowacki at the Manchester Arena on Saturday.
As I’ve just explained, reactor is confident he will land bigger opportunities later this year, including a world title shot.
He’S 15-0 with 11 Knockouts he’s number two with the ibf and number number five with the WBC, but his uh English rival, laurenza Coley, 18-0, 14 Knockouts uh.
The WBO champion and ESPN’s number two at 200 pounds who he hopes to face this year, a rematch with Chris, William Smith, by the way 17-1 12 Knockouts also from England and the high ranking Contender is on a rick pork’s wish list, with a series of fights Against English rival set it’ll be a different conversation about me this time next year he said at ESPN.

My promoter Ben shalom had a plan to get all the top cruiserweights in the UK under one Banner with boxer and Sky Sports.
A Coley is coming over to boxer and is having his first fight in March.
Chris billum Smith is over here and I’m over here.
So it’s going to be easy to make the fights every single issue that arises in boxing.
If there’s one fighter is one broadcaster and the other fighter is with another broadcaster and this by the way talk.
If I fans is something I brought up on the Friday night panel and so here’s a confirmation of what I was talking about uh, but he continues so they can’t get the big fights on this has affected the following of boxing.
People just want to see the best fights, but they don’t get it some of the fans.
Just don’t have a clue what this is about and how complicated it is, and this has diverted some fans to watching YouTube boxing UFC and MMA.
Those Cruiserweight fights are easy to get made because the fighters are all under the same Banner that being box or box xcr.
I want all of them.
He said I’ve dealt with a bunch of British Fighters, I’m more motivated to fight British Fighters when there’s more Pride, bragging rights and ego.
I’Ve always believed I’m the best he’s from London.
