[ Music ], hello, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on boxing news today on talk and fight and uh.
Let’S see we got a lot to go through today I’ll try to make this as brief as possible.
Yet as encapsulating and as exciting as possible as well, let’s start off with a couple of fights that took place in the UK.
Um Isaac Chamberlain won the British and Commonwealth Cruiserweight titles on unanimous 12 points decision over defending uh Champion Mel laal on Saturday night.
That was held at York Hall in London, uh and also up road, so to speak in a junior welterweight contest, Jack Catal 28-1 uh won a unanimous 12 round points decision as well over 38-year-old, former multi-weight champ, H, laneras who’s now, 47 and N.
By the way, and that took place up in Liverpool at the M & S Bank Arena, so let’s uh quickly move along then to the United States of America where we saw this is something we talked about on the Friday night panel uh with Tim, Witherspoon and Lou Eisen in a huge upset: undefeated Giovani Gallo, Doro, sanan, 32 and0 1 Knockouts knocked out WBO number one: wel, towe, Alexis Lex, Rocka who’s now 23 and two with 15 Knockouts of his own, and that was in round number six and that took place.
The Kia Forum over in Los Angeles, California, and to be blunt, it was a Beatdown, bloody, bloody Roa.
Apparently all right didn’t mean to laugh at Mr Roa sure he’s a good guy, but he was quite bloodied.
Um one of the most consistent and successful boxing series continued over the weekend, uh with promoter, Carlos lenus and Sound Board in Motor City Casino in Detroit uh.
Both the main and Co Main Events provided action for the capacity crowd cruiserweight Joe Jones, 14 and N St shocked the venue with an upset of local favorite, fernon Weber, who support n, is now supporting a N9 and one record he was undefeated um.
So that’s.
That’S very good news: uh D Derrik Miller’s toughest test.
To date, he delivered again facing fellow Cruiserweight dionardo Miner for sixth round contest Miller was up to the challenge in the first round, and both Fighters made cases to judges to win the round.
Uh moving on uh Miner fought hot for then Miner then fought hard in the six and if he fought that way during the entire fight, maybe would have earned a a different outcome.
Overheard from Miller’s head trainer, um Miller had been working 10hour days in in hard labor.
This may have added to slow output in the six no matter case.
Miller won Undisputed over Miner and the win now puts Miller in the spotlight for high pay date.
High-Profile fight in the beginning of 2024, um Miller is sporting, a 14 and0 record with eight Knockouts and Miner by the way dropped to 63 and two.
Let’S move along now to um Phil felia undefeated undefeated undefeated, Junior lightweights, jabriel, Noble and rashan Adams lived up to the billing as Noble eat, out a razor thin Split Decision in front of a capacity crowd at harz casino.
As I said in Philadelphia, Chester, Pennsylvania uh.
The fight was hotly contested from the outset, uh Noble at 131 pounds by the way out of Philadelphia won by scores of 58 55 5756, while Adams took a card 5756 Noble is now 5-0 Adams, also out of Philadelphia, weighed in 130 pounds by the way.
Also on that card we saw TK green, stopping Dwayne Williams and uh Frankie.
Oh Frankie Lynn, uh thrilled the hometown, Chester Crowd by stopping antiy young uh in their welterweight bout as well so good stuff out of Philadelphia.
Well, the local of Philadelphia.

Um and they expect that fight to happen, Riad Saudi Arabia as well and to put on this been – I have mentioned this for a long time, so we don’t know if it’s really going to happen or not.
But it’s interesting that it is hitting the headlines once again.
So, let’s see, if that Mega fight can be made, it’ll be a good one to round out the end of the year um.

Congratulations all right! Let’S have a quick look down the road uh Patty Donovan’s, going to be taking on Danny ball for the wa Continental belt uh! That’S on November 25th! Can’T remember if I mentioned that, uh coming up on December SE, 2nd we’re gon na see kubat pulev figh in Chicago pulv was last seen losing a close and some would say quite controversial decision to JY man, Derek chisora in July of last year um.
But now it looks like you’ll be um kubra will be battling.
Who is he going to be battling? I don’t know what he’s gon na be battling chisora again, what no impossible! Let me have a quick look here.
Sorry, sport fans.
What okay? It doesn’t say to be announced: oh no, no nope, andrees, wariki well, definitely definitely mispronouncing that name but um.
I don’t even know who that fella is or where he’s fighting out of um, but you might want to Google it if you’re interested kubat pulv.
We haven’t seen him in a while he’s got a record of 293.
We know that uh, but um he’ll be fighting in Chicago in December, 2nd good for him all right.
Let’S move on to other news.
In other news.
It was reported last week uh that Nigeria will be fighting uh uh under the world boxing Banner uh during these qualifiers leading up to the Olympics.
Paris 2024.
However uh someone out of Nigeria, a vice president associated with the IBA, has threatened legal action uh.
Given the stance that World Boxing has taken the N sorry, the Nigeria boxing Federation uh, has further distanced themselves from the world boxing people with the lawyer Venia omo ago, threatening legal action.
If they don’t cease interference, it’s a pretty lengthy story and I’m sure it has a lot to do with money uh.
But, as you know, um world boxing who are currently having some decent uh uh fights taking place in the qualifying rounds.
Uh down in the Pan-American games right now, I believe they’re taking place in Chile.
I’M sure I’ve got a story upcoming about that, but they announced last week uh their newest members, among them the first from Africa being Nigeria, along with Finland, Iceland, Jamaica, Norway and the Czech Republic.
So more news, I’m sure, coming up about that outcome.
Uh.
But, as I said out of out of Santiago Chile, there’s some fighting going on and the USA boxing Camp came away with a couple of Victories over the weekend.
Uh.
As I said, this is a the Pan-American games that are going on as a prelim qualifying uh for the uh Olympics taking place in Paris and why I wanted to mention.
It is because someone who we featured on talk and fight had on uh.
The knuckleup show Amari Jones out of Orlando came out aggressive against the Puerto Rico opponent angel Gabrielle Perez and Jones uh connected with multiple combinations pushed the pace and Won Won Won won the match.
Congratulations to Amari Jones down in Santiago all right.
Let’S have a quick look.
Oh yes, sorry to conclude this show: how can we not say something if we don’t say something about Eddie Hearn, indeed uh and this all this is all about uh, the buatti daniz fight that was postponed due to put this in air quotes an injury suffered to Daniz to his back so there have been a lot of words thrown back and forth over in the UK uh, as this was buil as an all UK clash and it was but uh.
We we reported it and then we reported the injury and the postpone of the fight.
And since then, Ed hearn’s taken a bit of heat H because he may or may not have inferred that Dan aiz uh was backing out of the fight because he was politely asked to back out of the fight because of poor ticket sales um.
So this is what Eddie Hearn to say, uh, because he does say: okay, wait I’ll I’ll read his quote.
I heard danaz comments.
If he can show me an interview where I said he’s faked an injury.
I’D be astonished, said Eddie.
What I said was two weeks ago that I’d heard that the show wasn’t going as planned and that it was going to be pulled now for what reason someone said ticket sales.
Someone said an injury.
I wouldn’t at all suggest that on Tuesday someone would go.
Go up to daniz and say: do me a favor and pull an injury, so I’m sure he’s injured.
But yes, there was a lot of Rumblings about that show and listen.
I want to see the fight because, although we parted company, I’m disappointed for Joshua batti, because he was up here and sometimes through fault of his own, because his terrible advice, but also through a bit of bad luck.
He just miles off where he should be.
And he’s a tremendous fighter, boxing’s full of people with terrible advice.
Some people listen to it.
Some people don’t, but you know you see some of these Fighters that just listen to people who have absolutely no clue about boxing, I’m not even talking about the promotional company.
You can’t advise a fighter if you have absolutely no knowledge about the sport in and out of the ring boxing, as I always say to you and always say to people concludes Eddie.
There are no barriers to entry.
It is the most bizarre world where some someone who is seriously useless can start giving you advice about your career and the next thing they’re in my office telling me this kid should be getting this and we want to be going in this direction and you’re having Negotiation with someone who, quite frankly, is an absolute clown in the world of boxing and that’s the bizarre thing.
So there you goes, that’s uh words of advice from Eddie Hearn himself, as in don’t take advice from people who don’t know anything about boxing, and I guess in this case it had nothing to do with Dan aiz other than he didn’t say anything about Dan aiz Faking injury uh, but he is upset about obviously um his former client buatti backing out of their relationship due to bad advice, all right sports fans thanks very much for joining me here on talking fight, appreciate it remember to like share, subscribe, hit that notification Bell and We’Ll see you later around at 4 pm eastern time when I join Mike cor for his show knuckleup.
