Foreign boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today and I can see we have an awful lot of headlines from around the world.
Screaming Creator Clash two.
They have done a fantastic job of working with the media, obviously around the world to promote not only their event and also their causes, their Charities that they’re supporting, but also boxing.
So this is really good news for boxing and I just want to start off with a story that I found or two that are interesting.
These feature a couple of fellows who were were on the show.
Last year, the first Creator Clash held over in Tampa Harley morenstein.
You might know him for his food channel on YouTube called Epic Meal Time and he’s known for uh, cooking bacon, wrapped meals, but at the end of the day, uh he’s gon na square off against the professional wrestler wrestler by the name of John Hennigan.
I think it’s John Morrison and and and if you’re looking at him in WWE terms and it’s one of the 12 bouts as we said yesterday, that will make cup Creator Clash too um.
Interestingly enough, he said: he’s talking about uh, you know the event says the author.
This is an NBC News by the NBC.
The event brings unlikely internet celebrity together to do something unexpected.
It’S like a concert crossed with Dancing with the Stars.
If the stars were punching each other in the face, uh said morristine, when I was there, I thought the vibe was way way more similar to VidCon our fan Meetup of his uh fight.
Last year, people came with their merchandise already they’re fans of certain Fighters.
They wanted to watch one person on the card.
They didn’t care who they were fighting so it’ll, be, as I said, Morrison’s morningstein’s second bout uh.
As I said last year, he emerged Victorious against his old friend Aaron Hansen, who has a gaming channel on YouTube called Game, Grumps, uh and and Marcin said it surprised them.
I have his little blood stain on my glove and he was fine, but I was still like – oh my God, he’s supposed to go to Busch Gardens today and he’s got a bloody nose.
I’M like what am I doing here life anyway.
So the the the story goes on uh quite extensively uh to describe other uh YouTubers and the influencers as they’re known uh and how they have gotten involved in boxing potentially starting with KSI uh back in 2018, when he fought Joe Weller uh.
So it’s been going on for quite a while and uh uh Jake Paul has certainly made it quite popular among the influencer crowd.
As a former Legends of the boxing sport um Floyd Mayweather Jr Roy Jones Jr uh, even Manny Pacquiao, is getting back in the ring.
Uh but anyway, that is because of the popularity of boxing and its increasing stature around the world, uh anyways, let’s bounce on after an NBC.
I see that the British are all over this as well now keeping in mind of the time difference.
So the ring walks are gon na, be like three four a.
m: uh in the morning in England.
Yet the British media are all over this as well fantastic job done by the promoters and the publicists uh handling uh Creator Clash, and you might be aware that talk and fight will be there at the event as well, covering it live uh.
Our our good buddy uh, Jay, Velez he’ll, be there uh and others to cover the event uh to hopefully catch a few words from these influencers and the impact of boxing on their lives and how they intend to use boxing to influence their charity decisions.
Uh idubbbz ianha, who created at the Knox Wasabi gon na, go Toe to Toe on on Creator Class 2 at the omilite arena.
I mentioned that yesterday is taking place in Tampa and uh and that they’re going to fight each other.
It’S it’s a sanctioned four-round super middleweight, Main Event: bout um.
You know, and one of the things I noticed when going through the various cards.
Yesterday, uh weights weren’t really mentioned um more more.
Like personalities were mentioned, someone is going to fight someone.
So if you’re, following, if you’re a rabid fan of one of these uh influencers and they have anywhere between 20 and 40 million followers around the world, they’re incredibly popular personalities, uh the way classes weren’t really of concern.
I suppose, but it was interesting that the the British boxing news channel has has picked up on this and and said um uh.
You know what what the weight class is for these two fellows uh, I dubs who’s created co-created event and Alex Wasabi.
It’S gon na be a great fight by the way um idubbz did lose his battle by the way.
Last year and uh.
I don’t know if Wasabi was in in last year’s fight or not but uh.
I never said hi dubs, I’m ready to get in the ring and show everyone what I’m made of.
He told the British press.
I’Ve been training hard and I’m feeling confident this is going to be a fun night of boxing, with our Charities and fans being the beneficiaries and he’s not swayed from that messaging.
I might add, Wasabi echoed idubbed sentiments, saying I’m thrilled to be making my pro boxing debut well that answers that question against Ian uh we’re both coming into this with something to be something to prove and I’m ready to give it my all uh.
So fans can can watch the Highlight matchup between idubbs zamasabi live on moment.
That’S the official live streaming partner of creative Clash; 2.
The event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all those involved and idubbbz Amazon.
Just one of the many exciting highlights to look forward to um.
Now we’re going to zip over to at the mirror over the UK had to say, um YouTube.
Boxing is back this weekend in Florida’s homily arena with idubbbz versus Ox Wasabi.
The main event of this year’s iteration of the Creator Clash the charity boxing tournament will pit over 20 social media Stars against one another in a white collar tournament with the main event between idubbbz, whose real name is Ian jomha and Alex Wasabi, a professional bout that Pair have both fought once before with John, while losing his debut to Dr Mike last May, and wasabi defeating Digi in his first bout, the previous March.
This year’s event will see a number of high profile debuts by the way, including, as I mentioned earlier, WWE star John Hennigan, better known from his ring name, John Morrison.
I was correct, but there will also be a number of returning fighters from last year’s event, including hennigan’s opponent, Harley mornstein, who we mentioned right off the top uh from Epic Meal Time and the 42 year old Nathan dad Barnett and says the mirror.
Here’S what you need to know about this year’s Creator Clash event.
The return of the crater Clash takes place at the Amelie arena in Tampa Florida April 15th, a venue notable as the spot, where Jake Paul knocked out Tyrone Woodley.
Unfortunately, for British fans, this means another late night or early warning.
If you want to catch your favorite influencers, throwing hands giving given the five hour time difference expect the ring walks to be around 2 30 a.
m or 3 A.
M.
Uk time for the main event with the cards, starting at 10 pm British time with about between Jack manifold and the returning Dakota olave, the event will be broadcast live on moment, pay-per-view with the main broadcast, starting at 10 pm in the UK and a price to Be announced the event will cost 20 pounds 50 and can be purchased online.
You can watch the event on multiple devices, including laptops, Smart TVs and through their mobile app and the action able to be mirrored up to the TVs, and I just say that yeah, okay alrighty, let’s have a quick look at the fight card.
I dubs and wasabi Harley mornstein on uh against uh former WD Star John Harrington um Chris Reagan versus someone to be announced.
Uh some we featured yesterday Marisha Ray who’s, uh, um famous for a critical role versus Haley, sharp yodeling Haley, who he mentioned yesterday.
Uh myth versus hondar uh, Aaron, Hansen’s back Game Grumps versus Jarvis Johnson Adrian botes versus Michelle canar Alana Pierce uh versus R.
I.
P, Mecca, uh, crank, gameplays versus Lionheart Nathan Barnett as Dad uh a B.
I had he’s also known as Starkiller the H3 podcast Jay larae versus abilina, Sabrina and Jack manifold versus Dakota.
I love, as I said earlier, it’s a quick quotes here from my dubs and as quoted in the mirror in the UK.
Naturally, what I think I’m looking for, especially when we’re just kind of randomly recruiting people for this event, is people who have an impact on the culture Alex Wassabi is an OG YouTuber.
He might not be familiar with the new Zoomers on tick, knock and stuff, and I might not be as well, but I think our goal is to attract people from all different Generations.
You know some people aren’t going to speak to some of the audience, but I think Al qasabi definitely speaks to a group of Millennials who are heavily on YouTube during a certain time yeah.
So there you go promoting boxing across the generations.
Speaking of promoting boxing something we’re all going to look forward to if it happens and something that ebony Bridges says, will break the internet and it features one of my female Fighters.
Avril mathie and here’s what uh, ebony Bridges had to say about a fight that might happen this year, I’m quoting from The Daily Mail it’s published in Australia, written by Dan cancion glamorous boxing world champion.
Ebony Bridges has joked a fight between her and fellow Australian.
Avril Matthew would quote break the internet.
End quote.
The blonde bomber has become renowned for her racy Wayne outfits, while Matthew steps on the scales wearing a bikini and bridges suggested the pair May up.
The ante should they finally manage to get their long-awaited fight on.
I love Apple, uh Avril.
She said, I think, she’s great honestly.
She worked really hard and I respect her for what she does her hustle her lifestyle and what she’s done um, both Bridges and Matthew.
The 2014 Miss swimsuit USA international champ, hugely popular, only fans accounts uh last month, which is revealed she was making so much money from the platform, but where content ranges from Team to pornography that she could retire from boxing whenever she wanted, but the Australian has no Interest in hanging up her gloves and is determined to get in the ring with Matthew.
The pair were supposed to fight this year, but Bridges broke her hand in a world title fight against Shannon O’Connell when uh, when she retaining where she was retaining the title.
With a brutal eighth round stoppage win back in December Matthew’s dream of fighting her can Patriot, meanwhile, were dealt a blow.
She lost to Britain’s real Ali in her first defeat as a professional back in February, but Bridges remains confident.
The fight will happen and, unsurprisingly, she backs herself to retain her title.
I don’t really see it going past.
First, four or five rounds, obviously with me winning she said: uh avril’s, a tough Aussie episode with Shannon O’Connell, I’m just betting and and I’m just getting better and better.
So it will be exciting if we have that fight and I’d like to fight her and, as she said, we’re in talks for a fight.
I would like to give her that opportunity, because I think she’s great and I think she deserves it Matthew.
Her part said: she’s really excited for the fight, but acknowledges Bridge Bridges will be a formidable opponent.
That goes without saying she brings it and likes to come forward and never really takes a step backward, but I can also bang and come forward.
So I think there will be fireworks.
I think it’ll be an exciting fight, said Matthew, I’m significantly taller than herself.
For me, it’s going to be about keeping her away from me, which will be a challenge because we’ve seen how she likes to get in uh, but it’s one I’m ready for and as soon as her hands better, we can get it on all right.
We all look forward to that.
I guarantee you on the more serious note.
Uh Jim Califa, over in boxing news 24, has said heavyweight Fringe, heavyweight, Fringe Contender, okay, heavyweight Fringe Contender, Jared Anderson, the real big baby says he wants top names in division after his victory over second tier fighter, George Arias last weekend, a fight held in Newark New Jersey, assuming his promoters at Top Rank, give the 23 year old Anderson, 14-0 14 Knockouts His Wish of putting him in with a notable heavyweight.
They would need to choose wisely because the opposition thus far has been exclusively ham and Eggers.
That would lose to virtually anyone.
In the top 15, that’s the problem.
Anderson has been matched similarly, by top rank as one of their former stable Fighters.
Edgar burlanga, who started his career with a 16 straight first round Knockouts when they advanced in the fringeel fighters.
He struggled looked terrible and is no longer with the company.
Well, the same thing happened to Jared Anderson asks this writer.
It would be a good idea for top rank to be conservative with who they match up the six with four 240 pound Jared.
If they step him up because, as we saw in his fight with Aries last Saturday, he’s very easy to hit and he lacks power, Anderson leaves himself open when he attacks his opponents with combinations.
His anti-coordination isn’t the best and he’s unable to block incoming shots right now.
Jared is getting away with having poor defensive skills, because the fighters at top rank, is feeding him, have zero power, but that’ll change.
Obviously, if they Grant him his wish to start fighting top contenders in the division, the ideal starter opponent for Anderson would be dillian white as he’s old, shot chinny and is well known in the boxing World.
However, White’s whites promoter, Eddie Hearn, probably won’t let top rank, use him as a stepping stone for Anderson to destroy to make a name for himself.
Hearn still has plans on using white as a confidence booster for his fading star, Anthony Joshua, to get a win and make a little coin from the British fans if her and were to willing, if her and were willing to let top rank, use white as a Horse he’d be perfect for Anderson options.
However, Ford Jared Anson’s step-up fight include Carlos takam Fabio wardley, Luis Ortiz gasiev, Joseph Parker chazora Ottawa, Tony yoka ajagba, Ajit kabayal, Charles Martin and David allaya, and we’ll see what happens, but speaking of Anthony Joshua um.
We’Re going to get to him in a sec, because I want to tell you a quick little story about Joe Joyce uh Olympic silver metal Builder.
Joe Joyce is less than a week away with his schedule.
Showdown against Chinese giant Jiang Shai, Lai, uh Joyce who’s supporting a 15-0 record 14 Knockouts will defend his WBO interim heavyweight title fight against Zhang on Saturday night.
That’S upcoming, a victory Wood Place Joyce in line for mandatory crack at unified world champion uh Alexander yusuk.
Yusik has already been ordered to make a mandatory against WBA regular champ Daniel Dubois on both sides have already begun.
Discussions have a showdown sometime in the summer, Joyce holds The Knockout win over Dubois.
His former foe gets the quicker title crack as a result of a mandatory schedule.
Agreement between the sanctioning organizations, the winner of Music versus Dubois, will likely have to make a mandatory defense against the ibf’s top man, Philip hergovic.
The big punter is not overly pleased.
That’D be Joyce that his world title opportunity is potentially at least a year away.
It is annoying Joyce, told Sky Sports.
It’S really annoying that Dubois had it in the queue and her govik as well.
I might comment there is maybe he should go up against big baby Anderson and so, let’s move over then to Anthony Joshua as promised, and whether or not he’s opened the door for a Tyson Fury fight in 2023.
Now remember, Eddie Hearn had planned uh other opponents than Tyson Fury for Auntie Joshua to fight this year to regain his confidence more than anything, Anthony Joshua confirmed his next fight is scheduled for December after he marked his return to the ring with a victory over Jermaine Franklin, but why the long wait asks John Dennen out of Sky Sports.
We explore some of the big questions surrounding an intriguing few months for the former heavyweight champion of the world.
What’S next, so, let’s look at some of the pressing questions surrounding a fascinating year ahead for Joshua and the rest of the heavyweight division.
Anthony Joshua beat Jermaine Franklin by unanimous decision.
It was his first fight since his second last you sick last August in his first victory since 2020.
.
After that fight Joshua gave every indication they want to box more regularly and was targeting a second bout of the year in July, but now he’s revealed on social media that instead he will sit at most of 2023 and only return to action in December.
He posted my next fight schedule for December, not ideal, but everything is part of a bigger picture.
So why the long wait? It’S not immediately clear why Joshua has ruled out fighting later this summer, though he didn’t secure a knockout against Franklin.
He controlled the contest overall and didn’t appear to suffer any injuries that would sideline him for sustained period of time, but his reference to the bigger picture is a possible hint that the intentions to set up a major fight.
Interestingly, it seems it can take a very long time indeed to make the biggest fights.
So could this open the door for Auntie Joshua to fight at Tyson Fury and not at this point that we care, but let’s just see what the British reporter has to say.
We’Ve been down this road before repeatedly when Fury and Joshua were both Champions.
They started up talks for a fight that did not materialize and, at the end of last year, after Josh was lost.
The usick, their teams restarted negotiations that a game a game came to nothing, but Joshua did insist after being Franklin that WBC Fury was his Target, the pot of gold, as he put it, it’s a sign that Joshua wants the fight and by taking plenty of time Before boxing again, AJ is giving both teams months to work through their differences plus they’re, more likely to secure a vast site fee from a location in the Middle East for a fight in December.
And so what does this mean for the Undisputed heavyweight championship? Fight uh? The wait for that is likely to be even longer now uh.
Tyson Fury was in talks with usick to Stage a fight that would unify all four of the major titles and establish the heavyweight divisions first, Undisputed champ in two decades, but those negotiations publicly imploded last month.
Music is already going in a different direction.
The WBA instructed him to make a mandatory defense of his belt against Daniel Dubois, which leaves Fury without a fight scheduled having already beaten, Deontay Wilder twice.
The most significant fights for him to take now, apart from music of course, would be defensive against either anti-joshua or Joe Joyce.
So is the weight good for Joshua being out of the ring for so long once again is a gamble if he, if it does enable him to secure Tyson, Fury, uh fight, that would be important for his legacy in itself.
Even more so were he to win it, but Joshua said three different trainers, his last three fights he benefit more from new coach, Derek James if they had more fights and more time together.
Furthermore, inactivity has been unwelcome feature of Joshua’s career since his momentous 2017 victory over Vladimir Klitschko.
He fought ones in 2020, once in 2021 and once in 2022.
Joshua only started boxing at the age of 18, so he only had a short, albeit highly successful, amateur career.
He would certainly have helped it’s.
It clearly would have helped his development.
As a fighter.
I had to have more rounds of competitive experience.
The weight may help Josh to secure the super fight he needs, but a tune-up out first would surely leave him in a better position to Win It, but there you go one quick little note here regarding Devin Haven, Haney and the lone with jenko fight uh the World title fight, uh and the grandson of the greatest uh take center stage on Saturday May 20th as part of ESPN televised prelims to the pay-per-view main event headlined by Undisputed lightweight champ Devin Haney uh and his title defense against former three division: champ uh, vasilia lomachenko.
