Foreign [, Music, ] fight fans welcome to uh.
The boxing News Today Show we’re gon na go around the world on this particular episode.
Uh, starting off with the news out of the IVF they’ve, ordered their light weltway Champion sabriel Matthias to defend against The unbeat Knockout artist, show Johan ergashev, Burger Chef’s, uh Sport and a 23-0 20 knockout record and he’s in his prime at 31 years old.
His back native and uh would be quite a step up for Matthias who was originally going to assert uh fight, Sergey lipanets and now.
The reason this is interesting is because Matthias had thought he was going to be able to fight Regis progress after progress fought zarilla but zarilla didn’t exactly give the you know he wasn’t an easy takedown.
Let’S put it that way.
So the point matter is: is it’s highly unlikely that Eddie hearn’s matchroom is going to put progress in the ring against Mateus, which now means Matthias is looking for a new opponent, not new opponent uh after his crushing victory over Jeremiah’s Ponzi, as you might remember, back In Minneapolis uh, so anyway, it looks like that opponent is going to be uh the unbeaten ragashev now that Uzbekistan anyway, so I just thought I’d start off.
The Today show with a bit of news other than out of the heavyweight division which we will get to in a moment, but also following up on uh other boxing news.
Let’S see, we’ve got uh Granite chin with some uh news, newly crowned United States, boxing Federation champ, Julian black dragon Baptiste.
Out of the oh he’s five and three two Knockouts and the Massachusetts title holder, James Jones, three and uh three and one with uh, three Knockouts uh, both believe two title belts are better than one Baptiste versus Jones will be eight round co-featured event on the next August 11, till to August 12th, rain delay uh at Veterans Memorial, showcase Pro-Am card presented by grandson promotions, uh for their Afroman middleweight titles uh.
The Outdoor Show will be held at Veterans Memorial stadium in Quincy Massachusetts for the benefit of operation home front good.
For Chris triading the boys for making this happen, this fight makes too much sense for both guys.
It’S a triadi uh both are looking to establish themselves as the best middleweight in Massachusetts and after August 11th, one of them will be able to say that it will be such a contract.
Uh contrast in Styles, which typically leads to an action-packed fight, uh Baptist, is out of Woburn, uh and Pittsfield Jones.
Both believe that the winner will move on to fight outside New England in the near future.
I’M pretty sure they will indeed looking good for granite chin.
Also on that card, you might see a former New England, welterweight champ, Mike badman Ohan who’s been featured on talking fight before 18 and two nine Knockouts fighting out a Holbrook takes on haverhills Harry The Hitman, gigliati, nine and fourth three Knockouts and he’s a reigning ABF Atlantic super lightweight title holder and an eight round contest.
It’S a non-tile main event, though, in an old-fashioned, all-based State, Showdown, good stuff and Chris says that the undercard will soon be announced and will let us know shortly what all right moving along.
Let’S have a quick look here: it’s happening down in Mexico, yes, former WBC lightweight champ Pedro pedrin, cuavera 40 and 3 22 Knockouts, now competing at the super.
Flyweight division scored on one side at 10 round unanimous decision over Miguel, Herrera 26, no 22, 6 and 5.
With eight knockouts and that was held earlier this week at the Centro De aventos figures, Mexico landed cleanly and often on route to 800 to 93 times that judges, leveled uh Guevara, hasn’t lost since 2017, winning 10 consecutive fights.
So some good news out of Mexico all right as promised, let’s move along to the heavyweight Division and see what’s happening.
Anthony Joshua’s rematch with dillian white is back on track after Joshua removes requests for a rematch clause, so those talks have resumed and hopefully that will take place at the O2 on August 12th.
Speaking of rematches, it looks like Joe Joyce is going to re-enter the ring and rematch July Zhang on September 23rd, a month following Auntie Joshua’s entering the ring um following Joe Joyce’s, first professional defeat by the way and he’s hoping to gain a revenge and reclaim his Position at the top end of the heavyweight division when he goes into an immediate rematch against Zhang on September 23rd.
At the Wembley Arena, as we all know, Zhang upset Joyce when he stopped Londoner in April, gave him a right battering um.
That was his first defeat.
The London Rivers taking punishment for damage to his eye ultimately saw the Big South boss stop inside of six rounds um for the English.
It was a shock to see Joyce.
Who would look so formidable previously in his career halt in that manner, but the Chinese veteran, an Olympic civil silver medalist, like Joyce, uses size power and sharp softball punching to handle the Britain and some Style so George Lawson WBO interim heavyweight titles in that defeat.
As looking to restore his momentum by forcing this immediate rematch Joyce said, I’m coming back to take what’s mine September 23rd, I’m leaving everything in that ring.
No compromises, no under underestimating my opponent, this time, nothing but a win.
Um.
Let’S move along to see what Tyson Fury is up to Tyson Fury versus Alexander yusik, as we know, is dead and will not happen.
2023.
Fury’S, UK co-promotor Frank Warren has confirmed that the much anticipated Undisputed Heavyweight World title fight previously collapsed for a proposed April 29th date in the UK and now plan to Stage it in the in Saudi Arabia in December has also Fallen apart.
Um Society, skill challenge, entertainment said they intended to table huge offers for Fury versus music and Anthony Joshua versus Deontay Wilder take place in December.
However, these offers are yet to arrive, and so Fury is heading in a different direction and he’s and said, Frank Warren.
I’M hoping we’ll have to have we’ll have an announcement in the next week or so uh We’ve pretty much done what we want to be doing, but we’re not in a position to make the announcement his fight’s done.
We can’t hang around.
He will not be fighting on the skills challenge show in December, because they’re talking about their show now being postponed until January, I think they had a boxing Amir Abdullah said: they’ll be moving it to the first quarter of 2024.
That’S up to them.
Prince Khalid is a fantastic person I really like him, but in the meantime we have to move on and we’re going to announce something soon.
Warren continued Tyson really wants to fight and we’ve got to make it happen.
We have to make things happen.
We can’t wait for people to make things happen for us.
We tried to make it happen three times already this year with usick, contrary to all the social media crap, he didn’t want it.
If you don’t wanted it, the fight would have taken place.
What he wants to do is wait and he thinks he’s gon na get his 70 million in Saudi, and I understand that he says I absolutely get that but stop the nonsense.
That’S the fight! It’S not happening because of Tyson Warren dentist, Fury’s next fight further uh, saying um: it will be a game changer.
He said it’ll be a game changer in a couple weeks time it’ll be massive Game.
Changer, it’s going to be interesting to see The Fallout from it.
You’Ll find out in a couple weeks, I guarantee you you’ll, say to me in a couple weeks: that’s a game changer all right enough of those two all right.
Let’S move along to PVC see that where that after uh their deal with Canelo Canelo versus germel Charlo expected for September, let’s have a quick look here following Canelo Alvarez’s announcement that he signed with PBC um, it’s reported he’s now going to fight Jamal Charlo uh on September 16th Canal has a 59 2-2 record, 39 knockouts and uh.
There were some other rumors circulating who he might fight, but that’s not going to happen, looks like it is going to be um with that PPC deal done, he’s going to see uh Jamal Charlo in the ring uh Charlie 32-0 by the way 22 Knockouts, but he’s Just passed full two full years of inactivity, so we’ll see uh who’s ready for that one alrighty.
Let’S have a quick look here.
Oh yes, for my last story of the day, one of the most confusing stories I’ve ever read and I have to relate it to you because it is just simply fascinating.
It was a fight that took place over in Japan and is now being investigated by the Japan, boxing Commission and it’s with respect to two Nigerian fighters who both got knocked out in their first respective round.
So the story goes this a pair of Nigerian boxers knocked out in their first round of their respective non-title bouts, with fellow Nigerians in May, in Sapporo, in Japan’s northernmost prefecture of akaido appeared to be different persons from the ones originally expected, and that’s according to the Japan, Japan’s boxing Commission, because very recently, the 37 year old, Samuel Moses, was knocked out by top-ranked Japanese featherweight red one oyakola of okinawa’s boxing school gym in the first round in a scheduled eight round super featherweight non-toile bout back on May 14th, while the uh stable His stablemate kazim lawal, 34 years old, was also decked in the opening round by J.
J oligon 23 years old, in a scheduled middleweight for rounder.
The two knocked out Nigerians were said to be brought to Japan through Bobby oligon, a once popular nigerian-born television personality in Japan.
Currently serving as the manager of the hiranaka gym, but they are strongly suspected of being different people.
Jj oligon is the 55 year old, Bobby oligon’s son.
An accompanying Nigerian trainer is also suspected of being a different person according to the sources.
So JBC has a Japanese uh.
Boxing commission will hold an executive committee meeting at the end of this month by having the Gym’s head a former World Boxing Association, super lightweight champ and another person’s concerned to further investigate the veracity of this peculiar case.
And there you have it boxing fans around the world.
We need more heavyweight fights in boxing absolutely well.
We’Ve got uh Jared the real big baby Anderson coming up shortly against Charles Martin.
That should be a really good fight to see, and I hope that uh Jared Anderson comes out on top, which would make him, I believe, 15-0 um and we’ve got a couple of other heavyweights.
I guess in the being negotiated aside from the Tyson Furies aside from uh the awesome and to Joshua’s, we do have Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder in the mix uh, but but there are some other good heavyweights in America.
Uh that are fighting, I will say practically under the radar um Jared Anderson – should use this knockout.
Charles Martin, I concur uh.
I like uh liked Charles Martin, but I think Jared Anderson is the next Mike Tyson and uh he’s gon na steamroll over his British opponents.
When he finally gets to face them, hopefully as early as later this year, uh, but certainly in 2024 uh, I know he’s friends with uh Tyson Fury.
He doesn’t really want to fight Tyson, Fury, uh and that all depends on what Fury is going to do.
Next, quite frankly, that’s my opinion and uh.
I want to thank you for joining me today here on talk and fight, remember to subscribe what what happened to Meehan from Australia, good question quickly! Look at quickly, Google him for me before I sign off here.
Uh thanks for joining me appreciate it uh Dari um.
So there are a lot.
There are plenty of heavyweight boxers from around the world uh that we look forward to seeing uh knock off the top five that currently exist in the rankings in the heavyweight division.
As we know it, I hope uh jele Zhang beats Joe Joyce again um.
Let’S have a quick look here.
My producer’s telling me Willis Pele, the Hitman Meehan is an Australian professional boxer.
He previously played professional rugby and uh.
Well, it doesn’t doesn’t say when he’s going to be uh fighting next, if he’s gon na be fighting next, but there’s you’re up.
Oh wait.
Uh his first pro career was playing rugby and played first Sydney.
Vosters in the National Rugby League um as an amateur during the teens will shown promising boxing Talent.
He won the Australian super heavyweight title at the age of 17.
wow.
Well, this was almost made.
It almost made it to the Commonwealth Games uh.
Well holy cow.
This this story keeps on going uh well.
This is currently enjoying massive success with his young pro boxing career since his debut in 2014.
.
The Southpaw hasn’t lost.
A single match has beaten nine up opponents in a row, wow seven view a way of knockout in July of 2018 will will this win his first title versus jonasa kavika and bagged the vacant wbf australasian heavyweight title yeah, so there you go some some big big Heavyweights down down under who are currently fighting out, as you say, Daria Jackson, Murray he’s a very good heavyweight Prospect from Australia.
I mean was mentioned from Australia.
Yes, that’s who I was just reporting on Willis mitchen versus James Singh wow.
So there you go so you know the scene quite well and as I’ve been saying since day, one there are heavyweights around the world, not just those top five that we’re constantly talking about or hearing from with respect to either Eddie Hearn or Bob Aram uh.
And I like to speak of many other heavyweights from around the world on a daily basis to ensure boxing fans that they’re not being left out and that there are other names to consider other than those top five um.
All right, thanks for joining me, appreciate it remember to like share, subscribe, hit that notification Bell and we’ll see you later on at 4pm, when I join Mike Gore for his show and Knuckle Up thanks for the notes by the way,
