Transcribed
[, Music, ] foreign [, Music, ] box of 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 with a quick little recap over the weekend: uh what happened in Primarily the heavyweight Division and the outfall, if you will of a couple of fights that took place on the same night in the same city of Toledo, Ohio, where we saw a big heavyweight Contender, uh arceland back Mark mendov, who made his United States debut.
But he’s actually fighting out of Montreal so not too far away from Toledo anyway.
He believes he made a the right step in terms of his knockout in moving a step closer to a mandatory shot at Tyson Fury, as he’s described, the wrecking ball moved to a 17-0 with 16 Knockouts uh fighting on the Jared Anderson undercard.
The Jared Anderson fight against Charles Martin was uh described and explained in great detail by Cedric Ben on his scorecard show uh the other day.
So if you want to check that out, feel free, but in this case, as I said on this undercard, we saw mahmudov retain his nabf heavyweight crown and which sets up the potential clash with Anderson next and potentially Tyson Fury down the road.
We’Ll wait and see.
Mahmudov he’s ranked number five by the WC blasted with the previously unbeaten Raphael akpajori in the second round: akbajori dropped to 15 and one with 14 Knockouts after the loss of two had entered the contest with a combined record of 31-0, but mcmudov’s amateur experience pays dividends.
He needed to get the victory.
The 34 year old uh dropped akbajuri with a flurry of initiated right, uppercuts, A Punch uh that landed frequently and he dropped up Joey again in the final seconds of the opening stanza.
But the Nigerian survived, despite wobbling to his feet.
After another knock down the second round, referee, West Melton Dean back Jory unable to continue uh and, as we now find out, Michael McDonald, could battle Jared Anderson to be ranked number three uh By the time.
Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz happen.
If they happened next and Deontay Wilder in another story, we’ll see has indicated he’s quite happy to wait until his Clash would be on uh with Antonio Joshua taking place in Saudi Arabia, possibly December, possibly January.
We still have to wait and see the WBC final Eliminator, sanctioned by President Mauricio suleimanov rated as the new number one once the pair finalized their duel.
So it was a good good fight all around for Mahmoud, as I say, fighting out of Montreal, which puts uh North American quite a good place with respect to the uh heavyweight division.
We also saw jalalov get signed to top rank uh somewhat of a peculiar queso because he was uh.
He was with the disrupt boxing, so I’m a little, not unsure how’s that that’s going to play out um.
According to boxing news 24.
com at one of our favorite writers, um, you know animal Fox, Alan fox says Jared Anderson did what he had to do for him to defeat the dangerous former IVF heavyweight champ Charles Martin uh by decision uh.
You know 10 round unanimous decision, as I said earlier, in amp moves to 50 and over 14 Knockouts.
He looked good in his offense that reminds some of the bigger versions of Shakur Stevenson and looking sharp and showing skills that haven’t been seen from the heavyweights of this era.
Again, it’s my my opinion, but I tell you he’s the next Mike Tyson uh.
The question now is: who should the 23 year old Jared Anderson fight next ESPN’s, Christina poncher, said top ranked promoter? Bob Baron is planning on matching Jared against Jean gosabotsky, but that remains to be seen other fighters in the heavyweight division who he might take a shot at and move a step closer to those big five over in the UK.
Take a look at Frank Sanchez.
Look at the previously mentioned, there’s not in the backman Dove uh.
If you had or Andy Ruiz Jr himself uh either.
One of those fights would certainly be a decent challenge for Anderson and I would certainly be a great fight to see in any case as as he moves up towards, as I say, clashing with the Tyson Fury or even an anti-joshua, but somewhat unrealistic uh this year And uh, and and what does Deontay Wilder have to say about all this action in the heavyweight division? Not much? I mean he’s looking forward to fighting Andy Ruiz Jr, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen because Andy Ruiz Jr wants a 50 50 split, but he’s not going to get that.
I mean, I don’t think he’s fought in over a year in the last couple of fights.
He he’s basically been fighting older heavyweights guys pass their Prime uh.
Would he get clobbered by Wilder, maybe does while they need the fight, no um so realistically end as well.
They need the money.
No so again, according to a couple of uh writers over on boxing news24.
com Dan Ambrose says who he should be looking at fighting this would be Dante Wilder.
He should be looking at fighting Frank Sanchez.
Caballal Dempsey McKean would be a good one.
Otto Wallen or again uh the uh off mentioned uh.
So, as I said, you know yeah we want.
We want to see that heavyweight division shaken up and it is now being shaken up by some American fighters coming up through the ranks as well as those fighting out of Montreal as well.
Um former WBC heavyweight champion uh Tyson Fury because he has retired, has offered to help his Queensbury stable mate.
Joe Joyce prepare for his upcoming match with Chinese giant jelajiang back in April Zhang pulled off a Shaka when he stopped Joyce in six rounds.
Joy says right: I was swollen shut, which prompted the ringside doctor to wave off the fight.
As we all know, if we would follow before Joyce would exercise his contractual claws for intermediate rematch.
Coincidentally, uh Fury was attempting to secure Zhang as his next opponent, but those discussions were roadblocked when Joyce forced the rematch second flight takes place.
The second fight takes place on September 23rd.
At Wembley.
The wind will walk away with a mandatory position.
Uh to fight unified, champ Alexander yusuke, Yuri would, like Fury, would like to see his countrymen come out on top, which is why he’s offering his services in training camp and the two boxers have sparred in the past.
This is a message to Big Joe Joyce Joe.
I saw you got the Jang fight coming up again.
If you want some proper Southpaw from someone, who’s got bigger, fatter, quicker, harder, puncher everything in thanjang.
Please come up to more come and do some sparring with me said Fury it can only I can it can only improve and make make and make it better and trust me on this.
I’Ve got the secret for you and I know how to beat Shang chop him down like an old oak tree.
The offer is there Joe get yourself down in Morgan Bay and do as many rounds with myself get up.
There can’t say any better than that.
I won’t change it a lot just 100 000 quid around uh Fury’s next fight is still in limbo.
However, there have been recent Whispers of a promotional uh potential exhibition clash with former UFC heavyweight champ Francis and the girl would again see him likely lose his belt.
Uh because the WBC have stated as much, I don’t really need to go over that again.
We’Ve talked about it last week, speaking of rematches, it looks like the stage is set for Clarissa Shields and Savannah Marshall rematch.
Now that Savannah Marshall is a new Undisputed female super middleweight champ, but the world she’s potentially on a collision course for a rematch with arch rival, Clarissa Shields.
Who was the loudest person in the AO Arena when Marshall Detroit in Manchester in England this past Saturday night and shields, had some Choice, comments for Marshall? Afterwards, I will fight her at whatever weight she wants to fight at Jill, said she’s going to get beat up.
That’S what’s going to happen, I saw a lot of weaknesses and she didn’t learn from her last fight.
I agreed with the first judge you had at 95-95.
The fight was close.
I expected a better performance from both girls.
There you go uh Clarissa Shields promoter, Demetrius, symmetra, sorry, Dimitri Salida, says: staging a rematch against Savannah Marshall in the U.
S naturally makes sense.
Marshall became the Undisputed super middleweight champ, as I said on Saturday, with a majority decision over Cruz discern with shields present at ringside, who is managed by Dimitri selila.
So anyway, Shields has been adamant that any second fight with Marshall would have to take place in the states after she had emerged Victorious with an unanimous decision in October, grudge match between the pair and upon beating uh Cruz discerned to become the undisputable Superman champ on Saturday, night Marshall outlined Newcastle St James Park as an ideal venue for the contest.
However, with contrasting opinions, prompting heated words in the post-fight press conference, um Clarissa was in the UK supporting her friend Fran Sean.
Oddly enough, during the ring announcement, I realized that the only lawsuit on each Fighter’s record was to Clarissa Salida, told Sky Sports, certainly a fight with Marshall, something that we would explore.
Clarissa came to the UK for the first fight, so it naturally makes sense for the second fight to happen in the U.
S, probably at Little Caesar’s arena in Detroit and uh for the last story of the day.
Again out of the UK and again out of some peculiar ego, I think, but let’s talk about Tony blue Tony – wants to make a sensational comeback against a knockout machine uh in the bridgerweight division.
If he formally asks the WBC they will grant Belize wishes.
Lucas rosanski has been targeted by the bomber despite knocking out heavyweight Alan babic in one round last April, the pair Contessa newest member of the WC championships after the sanctioning body added in 18th in 2021.
The rugged polis, 14, stoppages and 15 victories and would strike fear through many contenders at that weight.
However, Tony is not one of them.
Liverpool’S ex-champ turned boxing pundit once the smoke and sees rozanski as an easy path to becoming a multi-division ruler.
Tony previously ruled his Cruiserweight Champion between 2016-2017, despite retiring almost five years ago.
Tony believes it’s time to make a return.
It’S now and claims future glory is ripe is something someone I think I could beat I’m not going to lie I’m four years of age, and I don’t know if I can make a comeback, but I’m getting getting, but getting ready for filming for creed, uh, Creed.
Three, that is the movie last year I got in really good shape.
I ended up seeing a lot of apps.
I hadn’t seen the best part of a decade and thought why not to be totally honest, I couldn’t make Cruiserweight again safely, I’m straight up to the point, but I could make Bridge your weight, nice and comfortable.
If I’m being honest, I think that absolutely pulverized rosanski, I don’t know we’ll, have to wait and see.
I have to go back to the gym for a little bit and spend some time there have.
I still got it.
I don’t know I’m not completely out of shape.
I’Ve always stayed in shape, but I don’t know he added.
I don’t listen to dreamers, I’m just a kid from Liverpool and the thought of becoming a two-weight world champion.
I’D probably be the oldest UK Champion that I can remember would be a feat that would be great.
I know my body can get through a camp.
I know I can do it all right there you have it boxing fans appreciate you joining me for another episode of boxing news today here on talk and fight, remember to join me later on at 4 pm eastern time for Knuckle Up with Mike Orr.
