Here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today and today, uh we’re going to start off with a bit of a continuation on the discussion regarding the arur BBV versus Callum Smith battle is uh just around the corner from us.
I want to talk about a little bit of the undercard and, more importantly, focus on one of our local Superstars, Lea budw uh.
Let’S uh have a look now um.
The center Videotron will kick off the new year in a big way in Quebec, as unified World light heavyweight champ Arthur BV puts his belt on the line against former super middleweight Monarch, now number one contender in the light: heavyweight division, Callum Smith, a decent introduction, courtesy Of boxing scene.
com, by the way in, in addition to this highly anticipated bout for boxing enthusiasts three other championship, fights will take place.
Christian and Billy.
I’Ve talked to him often he’s he’s a fantastic fighter.
Look for him to rise to the top and he’s defending his WBC Continental America’s title against Rohan Murdoch, Jason Malone’s in town attempting to claim the WBO World bantamweight belt from Sal Sanchez and Imam KATV is having the opportunity to secure his first professional career title.
The nabf against rodulfo Gomez Jr.
So let’s talk about Lila bodan.
Now there are other fights on the undercard.
But let’s talk about Lea: bod: okay had a fantastic amateur career, she’s now 10 and one uh she went down to Mexico uh, because this is now a rematch.
If you will uh went down to Mexico and suffered her uh.
First learning experience a unanimous decision against Elizabeth Espinosa uh and that she’s looking to redeem herself in this upcoming fight, fantastic uh young lady, great Fighter.
Um she’s only got one knockout uh out of those 10 victories, but I’m sure she’s going to come out hard and fast against Elizabeth uh.
This on this up upcoming undercard and she’s up there in Canadian women’s Fighters, um Amanda gy comes to mind Jessica.
Cra comes to mind Mary Spencer comes to mind.
We’Ve got a great crop of Canadian fighters in the female divisions, uh that are winning and and winning hard, it’s good stuff and great to see e the tiger management, um and and the way they’re uh, treating their Fighters and putting these fights together.
Uh in Montreal or Quebec uh, as they have this time this for the first time this year.
So here we go looking forward to it.
It’S gon na be a great fight and um interesting to see what uh good old, Eddie, Hearn and Calum Smith have been saying.
Eddie, Hearn and brief said something like uh Smith’s Gon na Knock Out better bef uh.
I disagree, but let’s have a look and see what Callum Smith has to say something.
I’Ve been thinking about for nearly two years uh.
I just want to get in the ring with him.
I know it’s a fight, it’s a fighter that I respect that I rate his achievements, but I’ve always watched him and felt I had the style to beat him.
I, like my chances in this fight now that it’s getting closer and more I perform in the gym.
I definitely feel comfortable to get over there and take his belt off him.
I’Ve had better beave on the brain for a long time.
I’M focused on what I get when I win and that’s three World titles I’m willing to do it.
I’M fully focused on arur betv.
I’Ve seen enough of him over the years to know what needs to be done and buddy mcer has watched him and has a good game plan for me.
So um know, but Smith is 29 and one um and quite frankly, is uh the underdog going into this battle and although he and Eddie earn think they will win that fight, I tend to disagree.
I think better Bev will emerge Victorious.
Ah lee wood versus Josh Warrington to possible for May 18th.
I see screams the headline two-time, WBA featherweight champ Lee would scored a pretty Sensational pretty much out of the blue seventh round stoppage win over Josh Warrington.
Back in October, the wind saw Nottingham’s Woods register uh.
The first successful defense of his second reign as WBA champ.
Now it seems wood and Warrington are on course for a return fight with a date of May 18th put forward by promoter, Eddie Hearn wood, he’s 28 and three 17 Knockouts vacated the wa featherweight title back in October, so the Weeden match could be non-title fair up At 130 pounds, but as a big domestic Showdown, no doubt sell out the stadium.
The proposed rematch is Big Belt or no is Big Belt or no belt belt.
Warrington, 313 and one who was angered by the stoppage in October, ahead of what ahead, because he was on because he was ahead on all three cars at time – has wanted a rematch.
Ever since now it seems the former two time might bef featherweight champ will get what he wants in May, with the fight likely to take place at Nottingham Forest Football Stadium.
This, of course something would once very much and let’s forward to see if that gets firmed up.
Speaking of getting firmed up, uh, let’s go over to Japan.
According to boxing news24.
com.
Now now the monster inway 260 undefeated will defend his Undisputed super bantamweight championship against his WBC mandatory Luis panta ner 35-, one 27 Knockouts in May over in Tokyo, Japan, ESPN ESPN has confirmed that the inua versus ner fight will taking place in May with Na’s inway Ibf WBA, WBC and WBO belt.
All on the line against the former two Division World Champion.
Um and inway is fresh off his 10th round knockout victory over Mar tapales last December and is now making his first defense of his Undisputed 122 pound championship against ner.
Who was banned for life in Japan for coming in overweight, on a doping violation of his clash in that country against their hero? Shinok yamanaka back in March of 2018 in a fight that heor a second round knockout anyway, uh ner will be reinstated, says mike copinger over at ESPN, making it possible for him to fight inway in that country is believed that inway intends to defend the Undisputed super Bwe Championship three times this year, good for him uh going back to Leila bedw just for one second, I was reading that uh back in her amateur day.
She would have six to seven fights a year, so uh the these, these Fighters, these days, uh they’re, putting on the line and quite regularly good to see, as opposed to guys like Errol, Spence and Terence Crawford, Errol, Spence Jr doesn’t agree with it.
I INE being the 2023 fighter of the Year.
Spence feels that Terence Crawford should have been given that honor for his victory over him last July.
What swayed the decision to give it to inoa 26 and0 by the way? Did I say that was his winning two fights to become Superman to we unified champion this past year, however, Crawford got the better win.
Besting the three belt unified Welterweight Champion Spence by 10.
Through knockout, so anyways two wins in 20223 came against Steven Fulton, Thea eighth round knockout in July and to Palace, as I just said, by 10th round knockout in December, thus earning the super bandwe Undisputed Championship said Spence.
I don’t like it because he won it off me, but Terence Crawford should have won the 2023 fighter of the year.
Spence added that Crawford beat the number one fighter in the world at 147 with his victory over him, but his Revelation that he fought with a pre pre-existing eye injury takes away the credit that Terrence deserves for his victory and that’s being debated right now online.
Just Google it it’s uh again making headlines for no reason whatsoever.
Uh Terence himself has even come out of the woodwork and reacted to that.
Uh social media comment with his own resp response, saying simply on X, forly Twitter, no comment: um.
Let’S go back to Edie G for a second uh, because it’s like it’s like his Fighters.
Just can’t speak for themselves because he says here here.
It goes first line Eddie Hearn predicts Anthony Joshua will demolish Francis Nagano in a fight that will be a similar mismatch.
As AJ’s last fight against Otto Wallen, sorry Eddie, Francis Nagano, is one heck of a fighter and proved himself.
I think he had that uh third round knockdown against Tyson Fury and even won on one of the judges scorecards.
If memory serves correct in that fight, so this is not going to be easy for Anthony Joshua and I don’t think he’s gon na demolish Francis nagu.
I think Nagano is gon na hold his own and, quite frankly, will win that fight against Joshua.
My own humble opinion and I’d love to hear your comments down below um.
Let’S have a quick look at other news to conclude off our episode today, huo Cesar Chavez, Jr was arrested for illegal possession of an assault rifle this weekend over in LA California, at the police were called into the scene by a concerned.
Fan who believed the boxer may be in danger to himself or others.
So we’ve learned that the 37 37y old former champ son of legendary Mexican pugilist Julio Cesar Chavez Senor, was taken into custody by LAPD around 1:30 p.
m.
in the afternoon after Junior permitted, responding officers to enter his home where they located the illegal rifle law enforcement sources.
Tell us that the weapon was an untraceable ghost gun Chavez.
Jr was ultimately transported to the valley jail in vanise, where the 6’1 175 no 170 pound fighter was booked.
It’S not the first time people around Julio have feared for safety.
In fact, Chavez senior recently opened up about fears.
His son could lose his life if he continues down the same path and what path is that nobody knows, but it’s obviously one where he’s putting himself in danger.
Uh shavis Jr is a former WBC middleweight champ uh.
That’S from 2011, over 10 years ago, wow 12 years ago, 13 years ago, whatever LA and last fought in December 2021 when he beat David zagara, so hopefully uh.
Someone puts him in a better state of mind and he’s able to continue his life in safety.
