Hello, welcome back boxes fans around the world to another episode on talking fight boxing news today, then, today, we’re going to start off with a story uh, I think, emanating uh due to some squabbling, if you will between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Juniors management teams, because Terence Crawford has now been ordered by the WBO to defend his 147 pound title against number one raid Alexis Roca next, the two have 20 days to negotiate a fight before first bit, and this is according to Brian Weber, at boxingnews24.
com.
Despite the fight being ordered doesn’t mean that it’ll happen.
Crawford’S 35 years old will vacate his WBO title if he can get the Errol Spence Junior unification fight next, the two will have little time negotiate deal, though, because the first bit is three weeks away.
Blk, Prime and Golden Boy promotions must put together a deal fast.
This is the type of fight that Crawford’s always been a hurry to make, because it’s very winnable and on par with his other fights, since he moved up to the 147 pound division in 2018.
.
Crawford would be better off fighting Spence if he wants to make the most amount of money, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
If it doesn’t Crawford will fight, Roca and Spence will move up to 154 to fight Keith Thurman Roca is 22-1, with 14 Knockouts hasn’t done much to earn a title shot but is still getting due to his previous number.
One WBO mandatory virtualities Junior choosing to go with the WBA route for a title, shot against regular Welterweight Champion, I’m Montas stanionis.
So speaking of Champions um Charles Brown, one of my favorite writers over boxnews24.
com, says Deontay Wilder, has rejected the idea of signing with Eddie Hearn and his matchroom boxing stable, despite a promotional free agent, uh being being a promotional free agent on the market, it’s unknown whether Hearn reached out to the former WBC heavyweight champion, uh Wilder who’s 43-2-1 42 Knockouts, an attempt to sign him but doesn’t appear to be any interest on this part her and may have inadvertently sunk whatever chances he had a signing while there when he said in a Recent interview they’d like to Ink the big six foot, seven American, so they could put together a fight between him and Andy Ruiz Jr, who has been reportedly cut by Premier Boxing Champions by the way uh.
It’S not that the fight, it’s not the fight that Wilder would like to make, and the fact that Hearn is only interested in matching him against former ibfwbaw, champ Ruiz or journeyman.
Dillian white suggests that he’s afraid to give him the fight that he’s been chasing.
For many years against Anthony Joshua, that’s the Crown Jewel fight, while he’s been looking to uh for eons and Hern has arguably been protecting AJ from him since time immemorial, guarding his Flagship fighter like a dog watching his Hen House from the foxes and coyotes um, said Hearn absolutely we’d love to.
I would love to make Deontay Wilder against Andy Ruiz yeah.
I think it’s a great fight.
It’S been ordered and we’d love to try and make it happen.
Free agent, there you go uh, that’s a negative said Deontay Wilder when asked.
If he’ll be signed with Eddie Hearn in his master room company, uh Hearn said he wants to sign Wilder to match him up against Ruiz.
The equivalent of an expensive restaurant and ordering expensive, filet mignon steak and a wage is coming back with a student plate piled high with two week old pork Wilder doesn’t want the port he’s looking for the expensive steak and, sadly, Hearn isn’t offering it to him.
Now, speaking of Deontay Wilder, he revealed last week that he’ll be fighting uh three times this year and expects to be in action in May or June, against.
The opponent he’s keeping secret for now – and this is according to Alan FOX, also on boxing news24.
com, just full of information today about Deontay Wilder Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel said last week that they’re interested in fighting Auntie Joshua, but it hasn’t been mutual interest on his part.
He says that if Joshua won the fight with wilder, he could make it happen.
Joshua is currently fighting Jermaine Franklin next in a confidence booster on April 1st, and then he’s expected to fight dillian white in July in the UK in a stadium.
Whether Joshua would be interested in fighting Wilder later this year.
It remains to be seen.
Although his promoter Eddie Hearn, has mentioned.
It is a possibility if Joshua is interested in making that fight with wilder before his career is over.
He needs to do it soon because it could be one or two fights away from retirement: a loss to Franklin or white, maybe the Tipping Point sending Joshua into retirement to the former WBC heavyweight champ Wilder 43-2-1.
As I just said, 41 Knockouts said that he’s working on a two-fight deal for a fight against Francis nickano and if that goes down, it’ll be either in Saudi Arabia.
Um or in Africa.
Uh Wilder versus nagana would be a celebrity type match similar to the Jake.
Paul versus Atomic three fight nagana was popular with MMA fans, but he’s never laced up a pair of gloves before I might not stand a chance against Wilder inside the squared Circle said Wilder.
I may be fighting between May June December.
Of course, we’ll do it again for sure stay tuned uh when asked if a rematch with Tyson Fury might be possible as well, and if Wilder is going to fight for you again, he needs to get some more wins under his belt before he does so because He’S only fought once since losing his second fight against Tyson, which was against his own sparring partner, Robert hellenius last October.
All fighters are a possibility: ain’t.
Nobody out we’re having discussions with everybody, all the fighters, especially Fighters at the top everybody in discussion.
So I want fighters to know that I said Wilder when asked.
If he’s going to fight Auntie Joshua Nagano, whoever he said is a real discussion, we’re trying to do a two-fight deal now.
Speaking of that Tommy Fury, Jake, Paul fight, another writer in boxing news24.
com that kept me uh uh, happily trolling, uh Jim calfa, said Ryan.
Garcia was one of the rare notable boxers of praise to Jake Paul after his loss to Tommy Fury last Sunday in Saudi Arabia.
Jake gave it a good try before losing an eight round split decision that Tommy in their headliner, while some fans felt that it should have been more lopsided in Tommy’s favor.
The excessive clinching essentially prevented Jake from throwing punches.
Also the point that the referee took from Tommy in the fifth round without warning him shouldn’t have happened.
If you look at the poor job, the referee did with his point deduction up Jake.
So let’s go back and revert that sentence prior and he said also the point that the referee took from Jake Paul in the fifth round.
Without warning him shouldn’t have happened.
If you look at the poor job, the referee did with his point deduction of Jake and how he did nothing to control the excessive clinching from Tommy.
You can make a strong argument that Paul would have won if a better official was working.
The fight Ryan Garcia feels that Jake now six and one with four knockouts did an admiral job against the more experienced Tommy he’s now 9-0, who he’s been fighting, who has been fighting for many years having grown up in the fury family? This is something that the 23 year old Tommy has been learning, since he was in child.
In contrast, Jake Paul took up boxing Emir three years ago and he’s already risen to the level where he was competitive.
Uh to fight Tommy Ryan notes that, after just seven fights, Jake has made 40 million dollars and is fabulously wealthy.
Even the best fighters in boxing.
Don’T accumulate that kind of money that early in their careers as it takes years for super talented fighters to make that kind of money.
Uh said Ryan Garcia on Twitter, Jake couldn’t lose, you don’t come you.
You don’t just come into boxing, basically make 40 million dollars in your first seven fights and consider that I was losing further.
He was competitive against Tommy, so I’m going to tip my hat off to him and say: congratulations and good luck in whatever you do next.
There is a possibility of Jake versus Atomic rematch taking place later this year, but we’ll have to wait and see.
If that happens, if there is a rematch it’ll be interesting to observe whether Jake can make improvements in this game from that first fight, as Jake’s trainer, BJ Flores says, Paul is going to have to cut off the ring better, throw more punches and deal with the Different things that Tommy did last Sunday, Jake isn’t going to be able to do anything about Tommy’s hand, speed Advantage, but he can improve it on his jobs and throwing combinations instead of the one punch at a time style that he’s used to all right.
So, what’s going to happen to Tommy Fury next uh says Sam volts, also of boxing news24.
com uh promoter, Frank Warren points out: Tommy Fury won’t be making the millions he’s getting for his fights with Jake Paul once he returns to fighting boxers unless he steps it up Against quality opposition after getting a taste of the Jake Paul money, Tommy will likely focus on trying to fight YouTubers and influences exclusively for as long as he can uh.
If Tommy gets a rematch with Jake letters here, he’ll likely go after KSI or Logan Paul and try to continue making easy money.
However, Tommy spoils his way to another Victory by holding all night and running.
He could wreck his a chance of fighting another YouTuber influence because they’re not giving him the fight, someone that is just going to hold and run all night, not giving them a chance to land punches.
The problem with Tommy suddenly veering from fighting the domestic level ham and Eggers that he’s been facing his entire five-year professional career is that he would need to face someone popular enough for him to get a significant, payday anywhere clear to the money he got.
First, fight against Jake Paul, so that would likely mean Tommy would need to face one of these contenders at Cruiserweight uh Richard Rapport, Chris billum Smith, Sergey kovalev, uh, Maris, broaddice, Tommy, McCarthy and Jack Massey.
It’S doubtful that Tommy free could beat most of those Fighters, or even some of them at this point, because his clinching moving countering punching style won’t be enough to beat them.
You have to have more to your game than just holding and running if you’re, one of Vine’s success at the top tier, the top contenders and champions know how to defeat Fighters that move and clinch, which are the main Staples of Tommy’s game.
He doesn’t have the power so he’ll be forced to clinch and move to keep from getting blasted out by those contenders.
It’S frankly surprising that Jake Paul chose to fight Tommy fury because if he’d watched his past fights he’d realize that he’s one of the biggest spoilers in the UK and perhaps all boxing there aren’t too many well-known Fighters that run and hold as much as Tommy Fury As given a platform to be watched by fans, those types of Fighters are generally ignored by fans and are invisible.
The only reason Tommy’s been noticing, given a chance to make money against Jake, is because of his last name and being the brother of Tyson Fury without that connection, Tommy would be nobody fighting on undercards and not popular because of his ugly fighting style.
No one wants to watch Runners and clinchers, especially when they have no power like him, woo Zinger and according to Adam Baskin, we’ve got a report out of Australia a completely other level.
Here Tony Harrison’s arrived in Australia, uh repeatedly complaining of his long flight from the U.
S saying he’s never coming back to the country after he faces local Aussie Tim say you for the vacant.
Wbo interim Junior middleweight title is taking place March 12th at the Kudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park down under in Australia.
The 32 year old, Harrison’s cranky behavior on his arrival to Australia, was reminiscent of the constantly irritable, Undisputed 154-pound Champion Jermaine Chalo, who always seems to be in a state of constant agitation like an older person, with a hair trigger raised verbally lash out at anyone, and Everyone for this, or that hopefully Harrison who’s – 29 3-1 21 Knockouts, doesn’t continue to complain in the press conferences and that the win ahead of the fight, because it will be challenging to listen to his greatness, hop about his aches and pains.
This is an important fight between beat number one WBO ranked Scio 21-0 by the way 15 Knockouts and the number three Harrison, because the winner will challenge Undisputed Junior middleweight champ Jermel Charlo who’s 35-1-1.
Once he comes back from the broken hand, injury he sustained a while training all right.
Let’S move along to a couple of announcements about upcoming fights as well in the US uh one of our favorites here on talk and fight Jared.
