Thank you! [ Music, ], hello.
There boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, I don’t know whether they call it the wild world of boxing or uh.
The Eddie Hearn show, but how do you mix uh six Fighters names in two different uh weight, divisions and Eddie Hearn into the same sentence? Well, I’m about to do so.
I think we’ll start off with uh.
What Eddie, Hearn believes won’t happen and he doesn’t believe uh, Tio, fumo Lopez or Devin Haney.
A fight between those two will happen.
He says it doesn’t he doesn’t think it’ll get past the negotiation stage.
Why? Because it means that one of them has to agree to be the B side and Tio fomo he’s got a 19-1 record 18 Knockouts Haney’s got 30-0 record 15 Knockouts and for his part, Edward says it’s not gon na happen, but what he does think will happen.
Is that he can put a fight between Devin, Haney and WBC, like welterweight champ Regis progress who he promotes by the way uh together, so we’ll see what happens on that front moving forward very quickly um.
I see that while we’re on Devin Devin Haney’s uh line here, let’s have a look.
What he’s up to oh look at that he’s been arrested.
Imagine a boxer coming into contact and in trouble with the law.
So here it goes, he’s been arrested and booked for felony possession of a concealed weapon.
Uh, the fighter was coming off a huge win over lomachenko, I was out at a place called catch La when he was uh minutes later after he left the hot spot around midnight uh.
The cops pulled him over and uh, although he wasn’t driving uh due to an unsafe Lane change and a failure to use a turn single signal.
According to the authorities, you know, Haney was not driving, but the person who was told officers during the stop that there was a firearm inside the car police say they got uh.
He needed security uh member out of the car and when they searched the vehicle, they found a semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat.
So, although no one took ownership of the gun and since the car was registered to Haiti, he was arrested and booked for felony possession of a concealed weapon, bad news, but nothing, I’m sure um.
You know he’s going to complicate his thing for a little bit for his life, but it’s not like boxing his legal trouble getting the way of any big matchups before so that brings us it to your former Lopez, so Tio fomo Lopez hit the roof over supposed 20 million dollar offer Devin Haney uh that the WBO super lightweight champ, now not retired, knows nothing about the former unified lightweight King took the social media to State his intentions to block Haney from attempting to fight for his belt if he does vacate to retire, while Involved in a set two with Haney over the potential fight, the dream mentioned the rejection by Teo fomo of a massive potential purse.
As it transpired, it was Tio’s father, Tio, Fimo Lopez senior, who had gotten in contact with Haney on The Blind Side of his son Lopez.
Jr didn’t take decline, lead to this and let his feelings be known.
After Haney made the statement talk about an up and down week in that particular division between those three guys and involving Eddie Hearn, who throws in the name Regis progress just for fun, speaking of just for fun, Deontay, Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr are still at it, And I mean words um, you know going back, they were ordered last November by the WBC to meet in a heavyweight Eliminator and, to date absolutely nothing has come of that said order.
You know with bigger names and other title holders scheduled for fights, Grudge matches mandatory title ballots, exhibitions against MMA, guys the talk of world Wilder versus Ruiz has picked back up this week, Wilder said that Ruiz has been unreasonable in his demands.
Having approached his team for possible fight and remarked when you’re serious holler at me until then do what you do bro you got a lot of weight to lose man.
You can talk that talk, but only few will walk that walk.
So if you want to see me with Knockouts, so if you want to see what a knockout feels like get your brain, splattered holler at me, bro, I ain’t far that was uh Wilder all right Ruiz came back with a reply.
Let’S get it! What do you mean? I’M scared, bro.
I ain’t scared of nobody.
The only person I’m scared of is the man above you want to talk about money.
You want to talk about respect.
How are you going to blow my brains out, bro you’re, going to have diarrhea before you step into that ring? Let’S make this happen, I’m training hard, I’m trying to get this, I’m trying to humbly rise down.
Let’S just be fair, let’s be reasonable.
Let’S tell Al Haymon to cut the check and, let’s shows, let’s show everybody what we’re about I’m here to win baby.
It’S not about the money I’m here.
If I can win and become Champion again, let’s get it but remember you’re going to have diarrhea before you step in that ring.
Okay, now speaking of the heavyweights, it was uh.
It was surprising to see, quite frankly, WBC president Mauritius, Solomon saying that there was no one for Fury to fight and therefore he approved this fight between uh Tyson Fury and Francis Nagano um.
And, of course, who has words about this particular situation.
None other than Eddie Hearn Eddie Hearn.
Let Tyson Fury have it on Thursday.
According to Charles Braun, over box news, 24.
com slamming him for cherry picking, debutante Francis Nagano for a Payday of between 30 and 40 million dollars, U.
S and a guaranteed win while walking away from a bigger 60 to 80 million dollars to fight either Alexander usick or one Of the other names in a fight he could lose Fury is avoiding says Hearn the yusuke and Joshua fights because they’re difficult for him and he could lose.
And if that happens, the massive money he’s been getting for.
Fighting subpar opposition will begin to disappear and if you want to talk about the subpar opposition he’s talking about it began back when he fought Francesco pionetta, then Tom Schwartz out of wallan Deontay Wilder, the trilogy, dillian white and Derek trezora most recently and Hearn, is particularly Critical that he has uh fought people and he could have chosen to fight someone other than uh naganu, so number one.
He said, I don’t think he should be stripped of the world heavyweight title number two, it’s terrible for boxing, because the World Heavyweight Champion should be making the fights at the world of boxing wants to see to cement your legacy as a true great okay.
So the fact is, we’ve been trying.
Boxing has been waiting for the Undisputed heavyweight championship for five six seven.
However, many years says: Hearn you’ve got an opportunity there for Tyson Fury to fight Alexander usick for 67 80 million dollars, and he didn’t want to do it and that would cement Tyson Fury as a true great of the modern era.
When you look at Tyson Fury’s victory over the last six seven years, they are, except for Safari, fantastic, wild, Derek jazor and Dylan white.
So I’m looking for him to fight AJ and yusik.
Listen! Maybe he beats those guys he’s a brilliant Fighter.
The problem – and I face this problem, sometimes as well Frank Warren, says the reason these fights is because everyone’s buggering off the Saudi Arabia yep to be in Legacy defining heavyweight fights, you’re buggering off to Saudi Arabia, to fight a debutante in Nagano.
Who has absolutely no chance in the fights at her commercially? I think it’s decent business, but we should just be a bit more honest, sometimes and just go.
It is what it is.
I don’t like the way they say.
Well, Yusuf would fight me.
Joshua wouldn’t find me Senator what else, and I especially don’t like the WBC saying that either because the WBC are pushing the narrative, so Mauricio Suleman you’re telling me that Joshua didn’t want to fight with Fury you’re telling me that music didn’t want to fight fight.
Tyson Fury come on man, that’s what Eddie Hearn said right on now.
Speaking of uh Tyson Fury an absolutely brilliant quote.
As found in the sun over in the UK regarding uh the Francis and Tyson Fury fight, he says the headline: screams Fury versus nagana will be just a larger version of the miserable Floyd Mayweather Conor McGregor mismatch.
But that’s not the quote.
I’M referring to.
It gets better Francis Nagano is threatening when he’s kicking in a cage, but when he steps into the ring with Tyson Fury, he’ll be about as menacing as a water pistol.
Hi boxing fans thought that was hilarious and had a quite a good chuckle.
I must say, but nonetheless, those two are gon na they’re gon na fight in Saudi Arabia on October 28th, go figure.
Here we go now.
Speaking of guys who are making tons of money.
Boxing YouTuber Jake Paul has turned himself into one of the most popular boxes.
In the world today, especially among youngsters, but he has a long list of naysayers and he doesn’t back down uh during a recent interview with Sports, Illustrated, he was presented with this comment from long time, promoter Eddie Hearn, he said Hearn a guy like Jake.
His attention span is so limited.
If you want to succeed in boxing it’s a hundred percent, all your focus and time to be at the top end like anything, and he can’t do that because his mind is just everywhere so Paul fired back declaring he plans are sticking around.
He said Eddie Hearn is not the person to ever judge Jake Paul.
He is a bipolar, Jake.
Paul fan one moment he’s like yeah.
This is amazing.
Thanks Mom he’s like this kid Paul said, going on to add you’ll see I’m here to stay right.
As we all know, Paul is scheduled to face former UFC star Nate Diaz on September sorry August 5th.
It’S a Saturday night uh American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Even though he’s coming off uh decisions, a split decision against Tommy Fury back in February, yet his motivation hasn’t wavered.
He said I love the sport, it’s changed my life, in fact it saved my life and it can be so much better.
I don’t know if his life could be better or boxing, but anyway, let’s move along to uh some boxers, who I’m quite proud of Jared Anderson um.
As we know, the unbeaten American is set to face Ukraine’s Andre renenko.
On August 26th, Anderson’s 15-0-14 Knockouts he’s going to take on the contender rodenko in a 10-round event in Tulsa Oklahoma, less than two months after his victory over former World Champ Charles Martin.
But there’s been some Rumblings about uh.
Why he’s chosen redenko um now this fight’s gon na take place the Hard Rock Hotel Casino, um uh after uh he had beaten.
As I said, Charles Martin in Toledo and although the 23 year old has ended 14 of his uh 15 fights in six rounds or less uh before claiming that unanimous decision over Martin by the way um is will be, this will be a great test.
This is another great test for Jared said top ranked chairman Bob Aram when you watch him fight you’re, seeing a future heavyweight champion of the world.
However, rudenko is a crafty veteran who’s been in there with some top guys.
The fans at the Hard Rock Tulsa are in for a real treats at Aram.
By the way, Anderson is currently ranked number seven in the world by the WBO and Ninth in the world by the WBC, with the real big baby on track to challenge the division’s biggest names sometime, hopefully very soon said Anderson.
I want to stay active and make my case that I am the present and future of the heavyweight division.
Rudenko is a tough, durable veteran.
I respect what he’s accomplished in the game, but he’s going to regret accepting this challenge redanco for his part, he’s 35 and 6 21 Knockouts, 39 years old, more than 16 years of pro experience, and he was 24-0 before losses to then undefeated contenders, Lucas Brown and Hugh Fury in recent years, he’s lost via decision to formal champ Alexander povetkin reigning European champ, Ajit cabal and top Contender July, Big Bang Jiang.
This is a tremendous opportunity and I’m coming to Tulsa to score the big upset.
Rodenko said I dedicate this fan fight to the people of Ukraine, and I can’t wait to show everyone that I still have what it takes to perform at the highest level and that my friends winds us down for today’s episode.
Hope you appreciate it.
