Hello, [ Music, ] boxing fans around the world, thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news headlines.
Let’S start off with uh kind of a combo here, we’ve got uh Steve, Fulton who’s agreed to terms to fight Steve Fulton has a record of 21-08 Knockouts Inuit he’s 24-0 21 Knockouts and they’ve agreed to fight in May, but we’ll wait to see if that contract Gets signed uh Fulton by the way is the WBC WBO Super phantomweight Champ at the moment, and his two 122 pound titles will be on the line for the former three Division World Champion anyway, to try and win to become a forward Division champion.
Uh, the belt hungry 29 year old anyway, is Fresh Off capturing the Undisputed Championship on December 13th, at bantamweight, beating WBO Champion Paul Butler by an 11th round knockout.
You know he has since given up the fort belgians looking to capture the belts at 122 to become an Undisputed champion in that weight division.
It could be more demanding for any way to duplicate that feed as Super Panda weight, because Fulton is unquestionably a better fighter than the four guys that the Japanese start to feed it at 118 to become Undisputed.
So, let’s look forward to that fight uh.
Hopefully, it happens in May it’ll be a good one um also in May.
I just noticed that it looks like Devin Haney’s gon na go up against facility lomachenko in may as well.
So a couple of news items that are connected by their month coming up we’re going to see Chris Eubank Jr face former World welterweight champ Liam Smith in Manchester on Saturday.
But the talk is a fighting Cedric Ben Cedric pen.
I meant Connor Ben, not Cedric Ben from Talking fight, um, Connor Ben yeah, bad boy, boxing Eubank, who has a record of 33 2 with 23 Knockouts, was supposed to fight Ben in the non-title, can’t wait Clash between the sons of two of Britain’s most famous boxers In one of the biggest fights in the United Kingdom last year, but Ben 21-0 tested positive for the female fertility drug clomiphene, which forced the fight to be canceled just two days before it was scheduled, and that was back.
On October, 8th UK anti-doping.
The British boxing Board of control and WBC World Boxing body are still investigating Ben who insists.
He is innocent and blames contamination for the positive results in the tests that were conducted by the voluntary anti-doping Association by the way v.
A d a despite the controversy and uncertainty over band’s career, middleweight, Contender Eubank, believes a fight with Ben can still happen can still happen.
Absolutely anything can happen.
This is boxing Eubank told ESPN, I’m sure it will happen when I couldn’t tell you that.
But now it’s a fight.
The whole nation wants to see the entire boxing World wants to see when he gets his stuff sorted out.
We can look at making a fight happen, but it’ll not be that crazy catch weight.
He has lost all his privilege about me.
Cutting weight fair enough uh speaking of Eubank and Smith promoter Ben Shalom of boxer has revealed that former world champion Cal Brook is looking to return to the ring and he’s interested in facing the winner of the Eubank Jr versus uh Smith.
Clash Eubank will collide with Smith in middleweight this coming uh Saturday, as I’ve said earlier in Manchester uh, but Brooke saw action last February when he picked up a stoppage win over career at rival, Emir Khan.
Later in the year.
The Sheffield boxer would announce his retirement from the support according, however, to Shalom, Brooke will be ringside this weekend for the Eubank Smith.
Fight quote: Cal will be there on Saturday he’s desperate for the winner of that fight.
He wanted the Eubank fight after the con fight Shalom said he feels he wants the winner of this fight, whether that’s Liam Smith or whether it’s Eubank Jr.
There is a rematch clause.
So if Liam does win, Eubank will have the option with that one, but there will be massive fights for whoever the winner is huge, Knights and Kell Brook definitely wants to be one of them, so that division is certainly interesting at the moment.
Speaking of interesting divisions, let’s flip over to the heavyweight division for SEC, former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker plans to throw his weight around against Jack Massey.
This will be on the undercard of this fight on on Saturday night over in Manchester um Parker said I’m going to smash him Because he believes uh Massey uh is an elite Cruiserweight, but he’ll be stepping up to heavyweight.
For the first time, He’s Got Big Balls I’ll give him that said Parker, but there are divisions in boxing for a reason.
I’M going I’m going to be the bigger man.
I won’t fight like the bigger man back him up push him back, I’m going to make him think about.
It really wants to be if he really wants to be in the heavyweight division.
Wow Parker by the way has had a chance to eyeball Local Hero.
Massey uh at an open workout at Manchester’s Trafford Center uh on Wednesday, so he’s looking forward to that fight for sure um.
Speaking of the WBC, the WBC uh has ordered the babic roseanski uh Bridge of weight, uh belt, with the WBC Bridge away Champion Oscar Rivas out of action indefinitely with a detached retina.
The WBC border Governors have designated him as champion in recess and voted in favor of the following resolution to immediately address the status of the bridgerweight division, which I can say no one’s a big fan of anyway.
To order number one.
Alan babic versus number three lukic ruzanski to fight for the vacant title with a 50 50 split and the winner committed to comply with two mandatories.
The first mandatory against the winner of the final elimination between Riad uh, many uh versus Kevin Lorena.
To order number two right, many versus Kevin Lorena number, four, as I said, to fight an elimination, fight uh with a 50 50 split and the winner fighting versus the new Champion with a 60 40 split in favor of the champion.
Well as complicated, I got ta say, but anyway, it looks like there’s going to be some fighting at the so-called Bridge await division, um and by the way, if you’re interested the WBC starts a free negotiation period for both fights and if no agreement is reached.
A purge off per software will be held in Mexico City on Tuesday January 31st.
Moving along, we haven’t gone here often, but let’s go here today.
Let’S go down to the Phil Milan malindo hopes to find success in a new weight class.
Melindo is now campaigning at featherweight.
He was victorious in his last bout on January 11th, defeating by Nana’s decision at the supports complex in his hometown of Cebu City in the Philippines.
Uh scores were 98 92, 98, 92, 97 934 melindo, who improved his record to 39 and four with 14 Knockouts.
The 34 year old has now won his last two fights after failed attempts to win a world title Bell that flyweight and Junior flyweight melindo finally won a World title belt.
The IVF World Junior FlyAway Title by stopping Japan’s Akira egashi in May of 2017.
and Melinda would make a successful defense of the ibf by defeating hecky Butler, by Split Decision less than four months later.
But Melinda would lose the ibf world title in his next fight.
In December 2017, dropping a unanimous decision to ruaiuchi taguchi Lindo would then go through a rough two-fight stretch in 2018-2019, losing my knockout to then WBC World Junior flyweight, title holder, kenshiro Taraji and then unbeaten flyweight Prospect junto Nagatani.
It’S interesting to note that the the number of different uh Japanese contenders that are out there, that we we barely mention here on talking fight and uh.
I suppose we should start looking for a Japanese reporter someone who can actually provide coverage of the fight scene over in a Japan anyway.
Let’S continue with the story prior to the win over malindo previously fought on April 22nd, stopping Christ on omanyamo in the sixth round.
Uh he dropped the tie, uh and his record is now 38 and 8 25 Knockouts, though, but the 30 year old has lost three of his last four bouts um.
Also on a card promoted by John Junior at welterweight Prospect, Carlo baccaro has improved to 10-0 six Knockouts by defeating Ryan Simona by unanimous decision um.
This uh was all taking place in uh, Cebu City, apparently so a little bit of a little bit of a confusing story for us, but nonetheless it looks like this top Milan.
Malindo is now campaigning at featherweight.
That’S all we need to know alrighty um and on a final note, somewhat of a surprise, but it came as a kind of a blockbuster news item uh yesterday.
So this is a bit late.
Coming to you, uh good boxing fans out there unbeaten light heavyweight, Edgar burlanga who’s.
20-0 16 Knockouts is now a free agent.
He and top rank have mutually decided to terminate their promotional deal.
Berlanga opened his career with 16 straight first round Knockouts, but has now gone the distance on four straight occasions.
I might add.
He recently served a six-month suspension for biting his most recent opponent.
So we’ll see what happens to Edgar, berlanga and I’m sure Bob arum really doesn’t care alrighty, Let’s uh Move Along.
I see.
That concludes my show.
