Foreign [, Music, ] 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 and we’re going to start off, as I have for the past couple of days.
Talking about uh the big event taking place in Tampa this weekend called Creator clash.
It’S the second one.
The first one was hugely successful, raised a lot of money for various Charities and they’re doing the same thing again: uh twice the size quite frankly, and it’s uh today we’re going to feature a couple of young women who decided to take up boxing in a very Real manner entering the ring ready to clobber each other, our Michelle Carr and Andrea botez, Miss botes is actually a Canadian from Vancouver and formerly in her younger days, was a chess player, but uh her and Carr are Mega YouTube.
Influencers with.
Let’S see, Michelle has 3.
6 million subscribers wow she’s a former U.
S Road, cycling champ by the way, so quite an athlete and Miss botas for her part, um Andrea has 1.
27 million YouTube subscribers and she’s a former chess player, but, more importantly, she’s.
A former chess boxer.
Now I, like you, said to myself what the heck is chess boxing, so I had to Google it and for your information, I’ll, let you know what I found out.
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport that combines two traditional disciplines: chess and boxing two combatants play alternating rounds of Blitz, chess and boxing until one wins by Checkmate or knockout.
It is also possible to invite time penalty as a normal chess and by boxing decision.
If there’s a draw in the chess round, typically, events are held in a standard boxing ring using standard, amateur boxing equipment and rules.
The chest round is also played in the ring, with the table board and seating being moved in and out of the ring for each round.
The governing bodies of Chess boxing are the World Chess boxing Association.
That would be the WCA and the world Jazz boxing organization.
I guess there are two competing bodies: go figure: uh chess boxing was invented by French comic book artist, enki bellai and adapted by a Dutch performance artist and P Rook Bean as an art performance and a subsequently grown into a competitive sport.
Chess boxing is popularly uh, particularly popular in United Kingdom, India, Finland and Russia uh.
If you want, oh by the way uh, there was a let’s have a quick breed here.
The concept of Chess boxing was first coined in the 1979 Kung Fu film Mystery of Chess boxing uh, where it referred to the Chinese variant of chess in homage to the film of the same name.
The band Wu-Tang Clan wow uh brought chest boxing into popular Consciousness.
For the first time in 1993, when they released the song, The Mystery of just boxing – that’s amazing! What sorry anyway! So we have uh Andrea, botez who’s, a chess boxer, but now, I would say, has dropped the chess portion of it and is now going full on into boxing and we’ll tackle uh Michelle Carr, quite an athlete.
Okay, let’s have a quick, read here and see what uh is being said: chess personality and twitch streamer, Andrea botez will touch gloves with YouTube star and challenge accepted Creator.
Michelle Carr as Creator Clash; 2 wow, it’s a fourth female matchup on on this particular card.
I’Ve already featured one of the the all women matchups.
I guess we have two more to go.
This marks Andrew boteza, it’s the second ever boxing match uh with her debut taking uh, plays at Ludwig’s Mogul chess boxing championship last year, which he notably lost to chess champ, Dina, balenkaya, wow um, says botas.
My first introduction to boxing happened a through mere accent when I signed up for chess boxing championship, even though I only had six weeks to train for that fight.
During that time I felt a new type of discipline and focus that I hadn’t experienced since I quit competitive chess training for Creator.
Clash 2 has been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but I know my poem Michelle Carr is working just as hard and it’s an honor to fight her.
The car is also chime bin on her upcoming greater Clash match as well.
She says I’m so grateful to Anisa Ian and Creator class for cultivating such a special space for creators to come together to raise money for a good cause, while also providing an opportunity for us to challenge ourselves to new heights mentally and physically.
I’M stoked to be in the ring with Andrew botes as one of the four female fights featured this year, wow looking forward to that.
Indeed, it is going to be a great night and I’m so happy to report that that our own Jay Velez from Talking fight will be ringside for that event.
Streaming.
Hopefully, uh live moving along to other women who are fighting each other.
I see that looks like Clarissa Shields 13-0.
By the way, the Undisputed female middleweight champ will defend her title against the 40 year old WBC female heavyweight champ Hannah Gabriel’s who’s 21 2-1.
By the way 12 Knockouts that’ll be featured on the Zone June 3rd.
At Little Caesar’s arena in Detroit Michigan and The Bouch will be a rematch of the June 2018 match in which Gabriel’s knocked down shields in the first round.
Before claressa ultimately won the unanimous decision in the Optics of middleweight versus heavyweight and which might look strange in the women’s division, the wvc designates 168 pounds and up as heavyweight.
Therefore, Gabriel’s is only moving down one division plus she weighed 150 uh two fights ago, so weight shouldn’t be an issue.
So let’s look forward to uh Clarissa Shields.
Getting back in the ring should be a good match.
Um over to England, where we see a mat shaping up between heavyweights, Joe Joyce and July Zhang Zhang, says, Joyce will be undone by Perfect knockout punch in their heavyweight Clash.
Um, let’s read further here July, is planning a perfectly timed knockout punch to shatter Joey Joyce’s, fearsome reputation as he wants to avoid more scoring controversy.
This weekend, the Chinese heavyweight reacted with disbelief after losing an ibf title.
Final final Eliminator against philippovic by unanimous decision in August, but big bang Zhang, can Propel himself back into World title contention with an upset win over Joe Joyce in London.
This Saturday night.
I’M sure we’ll be talking about that.
On the Friday night, panel Joyce has earned his status as the WBO mandatory Challenger for the WBO belt, held by unified Champion Alexander yusique, with 15 wins featuring 14 Knockouts, but Zhang is far from intimidated by the British contender to be the best.
You have to be.
The best said Jiang: this is part of the dream to become world champion.
I’Ve never run from a challenge when an opportunity presents itself referring to Joyce’s renowned durability.
Zhang added, I don’t believe that a Fighter’s chin can be tough enough to handle a perfectly timed punch and he Shrugged off any lingering concerns about harsh scorecards in Joyce’s Home Country.
Despite the hotly disputed loss to her govik on the undercard of U6 rematch win over Anthony Joshua, I don’t worry about that.
I talk with my fists.
He said it makes no sense to worry about that.
It’S my job to convince the judges of a victory.
So there we go um.
Yes, we look for oh interesting, uh Zhang said about uh the the fight uh.
He also said, let’s conclude this ahead of Saturday night’s uh fight against Zhang Joyce, described his opponent as risky uh, but hopes he can overcome the test and win a uh.
No and a win will lead to a heavyweight title fight against usick or Tyson Fury this year.
Good luck to Joyce on that one.
It’S a risky fight, but it’s exciting Joyce told Sky Sports he’s a big fella, but I’m a big fella, two big fellows are gon na Collide and it’s going to be a great fight.
I could have waited around and had an easier fight, but I thought well, why not have a test and stay ready he’s a top fighter.
This leads me on nicely to yusic or Fury, which is what I’m hoping for a big summer fight.
