[, Music, ], 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 and today we’re going to start start our show off with a quartet of upcoming fights uh starting over in the UK, fight to rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Liam beefy Smith and uh here’s some news, I suppose out of uh Chris Eubank Jr’s new trainer, Brian bomack McIntyre, who says he’s worked hard on fixing the simple mistakes that he’d made in the last fight against Liam Smith and now he’s improved and ready to avenge That loss as taking place, as we all know at the Manchester arena in in England, adding the mass to my bowmak to his team as the new coach could be the key to unlocking the greatness that you beg Jr, who is always capable of says.
Uh.
Michael Collins, writing in boxing247.
com the 33 year old, Eubank Jr, who’s 32 and 3, with 23 Knockouts has the following advantages: over the silver-haired 35 year old beefy Smith, power, speed, youth Mobility, height and reach ring IQ and, of course, coaching said bomac.
As we looked at this last fight, he was winning that fight.
He just got a little bit careless and that was uh when Smith knocked him out uh back on the 21st of January, also in Manchester, apparently according to bomac Eubank Jr easily won the first three rounds in that fight with Smith and then, of course, as I Just described tragedy struck, so what will happen, though? However, if uh Smith beats Eubank again a former WBO super Welterweight Champion the win by Smith results at five: five fight win streak, the first for beefy, since he went unbeaten from 2008 to 2016.
.
If he can take down his fellow part again Smith, ranked number two at 160 pounds by the wo could be next in line for title shot, and this is all courtesy of uh.
The sporting news, Danielle novsky writing in this particular article I’m reading from um.
If, in February the wo ordered uh – oh sorry, they did the W ordered a fight between Smith and W champ Jenna back nakuli.
However, before the perspect commenced, you Bank activate his rematch clause, so uh, Jen and Becker just defeated Stephen Butler to retain the title.
Is waiting for a challenge and Smith could be next up? Smith is also interested.
Benjing lost to Canelo Alvarez, who beat him back in 2016.
.
Canelo defense, his status as I’ll talk in about a second against uh Jamal Charlo uh, with with Charlie moving in weight Smith, sees a clear path to doing the same.
Should he beat Eubank, so Smith said.
I think everyone knows I would take the rematch.
It was a fight that I loved it was a type of type of fight, my type of fight I loved it.
Even though I got stopped at Ninth, I loved every part of the fight.
I had moments in the fight.
Also, it’s not like.
I couldn’t hit Canelo, he was there to be hit and I landed enough shots.
But I just wasn’t big enough and strong enough, but of course I’ll take that, as for Eubank, a loss would keep him farther than ever from a world title opportunity, even if he ends up in a two fight losing streak for the first time in his career.
Uh, would you consider hanging up the gloves? No, no, I’m not traveling that road again in terms of entertaining that word and that thought process, it’s unhealthy, it didn’t didn’t, did not benefit me in any way, shape or form.
I see it as weakness.
So yes, I’m not entertaining that, like I said, retirement is not my mindset, so there’s no hanging around I’m going to be fighting, I’m going to be winning I’m going to become a world champion all right.
Next, up speaking of world champions, the WBO interim heavyweight champion met with Chinese media representatives in New York City to discuss his upcoming title defense against former Champion Joe Joyce uh.
The event was held at Peter song’s, Kung Fu Kitchen in Times Square New York City, Manhattan, downtown Zhang versus Joyce.
A rematch is scheduled for September 23rd in Joyce’s hometown of London at Wembley Arena um, a company called dayin in China, will will aired and ESPN will be broadcasting in the US and TT Sports in the UK.
Zhang gave a brief update on his training camp.
Saying people say Joyce is so active and he hits hard.
But when it comes to sparring, I’m working with Alonso Neil, who throws more punches than Joyce Dimitri Bezos, who has harder than Joyce and Maria’s walk.
Who is 300 pounds and bigger than Joyce Neil? By the way is a 2023 National Golden Gloves.
Finalist Bezos is 10-1 as a pro and walk is well respected.
Veteran Who challenged former Champion Vladimir Klitschko and as shared the ring with contenders like General Miller, Alexander vivekan, Martin Piccoli dillian white at a huey Fury Zhang, sees a wo interim title in April by stopping the previous unbeaten Joyce in round number six shocking UK fans.
I might add, Zhang had hoped to be uh to move on to challenge WBC champ Tyson Fury next, but Joyce dashed that dream, at least temporarily, by exercising his contractual right to a rematch, but Zhang did not seem disturbed by having to Grant uh Joyce a rematch.
He said I already created history on April 15th in London, the six but six foot, six inch.
Southpaw said I don’t mind doing it again on September 23rd, good for him good attitude, all right.
Moving on to attitude uh Alan Fox reports inboxingnews24.
com that Jermel Charlo won’t be playing around trying to win the decision when he gets Canelo Alvarez in the ring coming up later this month, jermell he’s 24, sorry, 35, one and one 19 Knockouts once to obliterate.
The Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo 59-2-2, so he can become one of the greats of this sport.
He doesn’t want to let Canelo Go the Distance because he’ll be getting punched by him and he’s not he’s, and that’s not a good thing, because he’s got a lot of power.
But besides that, Jamil doesn’t want to put it in the judge’s hands and wind up losing a controversial decision to Canelo, as he did in his loss to Tony Harrison.
Charlotte needs canel’s name to add to his resume and it’ll look better if he knocks him out.
Canelo has never been stopped before in his 19-year career, and it would be impressive if Jamel is the one who does it.
First, Jermel wants to knock out Canelo Danny’s coming for Nebraska native Bud.
Crawford destroying Canelo would be just the tip of the iceberg for what Jamel could accomplish if he knocks out Crawford and does the same with Tim Sue.
That would be impressive.
He said I look at the people, I I created it and they don’t even get a love for the sport of boxing like they should and they don’t even like me, said jermell um.
Ah, that I don’t care about that list.
It’S chilling is that your Mel about the pound for pound list, it’s understandable, why Jamal doesn’t care about the pound for pound list, because that joke is objective and put together for Ultra Hardcore boxing fans to appreciate casual fans.
Don’T follow the sport closely enough to be aware of the pound for pound list anyway, so he said it puts me up with the greats, especially if I obliterate the situation, knock him out and something crazy happens, and if he beats Canelo, then what 100 said Charlo When asked, if you try to knock out Canelo, I’m going to knock everybody out, everybody has to go to sleep.
I’M not just here to be punched on somebody and get punched back.
I want my punches to have respect the same way.
We’Ve been doing just a different weight, we don’t change nothing, we don’t go in there and try to do much.
You just got to work.
Your ass off stay, dedicated, stay, strong, stay, Smart, Stay fast, all right.
Another fight to report on your Dina, jugas and Mario Barrios are set to clash in Crossroads on September 30th, also that same night uh in a welterweight Crossroads bout, former wa champ yugas 27-5 by the way and Mario Barrios 27-2 will meet for the vacant.
Wbc interim title at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas Nevada.
As I said on September 30th, the bout will take place on the undercard of the Undisputed super middleweight title clash between Alvarez and, as I just mentioned, Jamel Charlo, the 37 year old yugos out of Cuba, scored a breakthrough win two years ago when he dethroned Filipino Superstar Manny Pacquiao uh, whose record by the way right now is 62 8-2 on points for the WBA Crown two years ago, as I said, he’s fought just one since losing his world title belt to Errol Spence Jr who’s 28-1 by 10th round knockout in April last Year, Texan, Barrios, 28 years old is in a rebounding rebuilding phase of his career too, after losing back-to-back fights the German to tank Davis and Keith one time, Thurman 31 by the way in 21 and 22 respectively.
He got back in the wind column against uh Giovanni Santiago.
You know the eight noun is it with an eighth round knockout back in February, Barrios said: whenever a fight is brought to me, there’s never a name that I say no to this was no different.
Yugas is a tremendous fighter.
This is a huge opportunity.
I was more than happy to take the fight I’m trying to solidify my my markings division.
It’S going to be a tough fight and I’ve never seen.
I’Ve never seen him shy away from a fight, and I have a similar style.
This is going to be an explosive one that you do not want to miss we’re both going to Bring It On fight night.
This exciting card an exciting opportunity to fight for an interim World title.
Finally, let me just uh bring you up to speed on someone who we’ve been reporting on for quite a while here talking fight credit to my core over at Knuckle Up on talkingfight.

Two of their schedule – eight rounder and in Round Two Bunch dropped a full with a hard left hook of a roll to his side and did not beat the 10 count at one minute, 25 seconds.
