Fight for another episode of boxing news today, let’s start off with our friends across the pond Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr, who are going to go Toe to Toe quite soon and that they’re weigh-in, a bit of controversy, has erupted uh, as reported by boxing scene.
com.
Liam Smith could Face action from the British boxing border control after he goaded Chris Eubank Jr at their press conference by inferring.
That Eubank was gay Sky Sports presenter.
Anna Woodhouse will house apologized for the homophobic remarks after an exchange between the pair about sending each other direct messages turned ugly with Smith, saying Eubank was never seen with women and asking do you want to tell us something? The bboc looks set to take action that could lead to a charge of misconduct against Smith, although Eubank could be sanctioned too.
For his part, a statement was issued saying the British boxing border control are aware of the comments made by Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr at the press conference, and the stewards of the board will be considering the conduct of both boxers directly.
It is normally the way in boxing that people go low when there are tickets of pay-per-views to shift, but the moment was an embarrassment to Sky Sports and promoter van shalom.
Shalom said, tensions were high and the fighters have apologized.
Liam has apologized well that escalated quickly said Eubank on Twitter.
The two have been needling each other, since the fight which takes place in Manchester was announced.
Smith has insisted that Eubank has not gotten under his skin, but when Eubank accused him of sending direct messages to Eubanks social media accounts, saying he was more used to getting DMS from women.
Uh Smith, bit saying that nobody ever saw Eubank with women, because you are 33 Smith said: do you want to tell us something? Because nobody in this room has ever seen you with a woman? Listen! My private life is my private life.
Eubank replied! That’S irrelevant to me boxing, but I’m happy, I’m comfortable.
Hmm, sorry! That’S irre irrelevant to the boxing, but I’m happy, I’m comfortable after Smith again asked.
Do you have something you want to tell us? You meant replied, it’s a very personal question to ask me directly.
You can slide in my DMs or you can do it right now.
I think I used to think Tony Bello was the biggest [ __ ] to come out of Liverpool, but this stage Liam has definitely taken the number one slot.
It’S impressive, despite broadcaster, Andy Scott’s attempt to steer the conference another way.
The pair returned to the subject as Eubank accused Smith of cheating on his wife.
If you want to get dark and personal with it, talking about being gay, and do I, like girls, I’ve been told by multiple sources that you cheat on your wife on occasion, Eubank said I’d rather be gay than a cheat Smith later admitted they had crossed the Line while Eubank said he had embarrassed himself Smith told the Press Association.
It’S crossed the line and for people looking at is wrong.
We shouldn’t act like that.
It’S fight week we’re both starving and making weight, and if anyone took it personally, I apologize.
I was always going to get a little bit heated like that at the end of the day, it’s just words just like taking would take it with a pinch of salt.
Eubank said this is boxing: it’s an entertainment business.
This is a fight game, and this is real.
People react to fighting a man in different ways.
He embarrassed himself up there, but that’s okay, we’re gon na fight it out and sell our differences in a couple days time.
So there you go news out of Manchester where Eubank, Jr and Smith are going to go toe-to-toe.
Speaking of that particular fight on the undercard, we’re going to see uh former uh heavyweight, champ Parker uh Joseph Parker fight his quotes were interesting too.
He said I want to fight dillian white again.
It was a great tough first fight.
He got the win awesome for him and I’d like to avenge out loss, and this writer says uh.
So quick look here just want to make sure I got the the name right here.
James Slater, James Slater said uh.
We fans would welcome a white Parker too, simply because the 2018 fight was so exciting and some Phil Parker was a little hard done by in that fight.
This in terms of scoring and with Parker being judged to have been knocked down one time when he could have in fact been hit by White’s head White’s.
Second, knockdown of the fight being legit, but Parker has other fights in mind in case a white written entities in case of white cannot and take my goodness in case.
A white return cannot be made.
Get past Massey, there’s Michael Hunter, calling me out.
If no one wants to fight Joyce I’ll fight him again, but I have to take care of business first and of course the business he’s talking about is Jack, Massey uh, Jack Massey, who is 20 and one by the way and Parker had this to say about Massey, if I lose to Massey I’ll, be out of the pitcher uh yeah, it’s gon na be a good fight.
Parker’S 30-3, by the way he’s coming off of that heart stoppage loss to Joe Joyce, and he says, although the world title fight would be obviously the dream fight he’s open to fighting Joyce again so 31 year old, says: he’s really uh he’d really like to fight Dylan white um, as I said, uh White, took that uh first fight only fight uh on that Victory, uh by points.
So there you go a little bit of news out of Manchester regarding the taunts by Eubank, Jr and Liam Smith, as well as a few comments from Joseph Parker uh who’s.
A tough guy but uh has lost a couple of key key fights and then be introduced to see if he can rebound against his opponent.
Anyway.
Speaking of opponents, we see that uh Eddie Hearn has some comments to make about some upcoming fights, as reported by boxing news24.
com.
They reporter Jack tiernam said that Eddie Hearn States that, if Naya monster, anui dethrones WBC WBO super pantomweight Champion Stephen Fulton he’ll agree to make a fight between the Japanese star and ibf WBA champ Murad John ahmadiav for the Undisputed 122 pound Championship later this year and That shows a lot of Class by her not to be an obstacle to making an important fight for this super Phantom 8 Division and boxing, especially given that as a fighter ahmediev who’s 11-08 Knockouts will likely be a colossal Underdog against the 29 year old former three Division World Champion Monster, inui, Who’s 24-0 enemy wants to be Undisputed.
At 122.
, said Eddie Hearn when asked to feel alone anyway to face ibf and WBA Super pandaway Champ uh Mandela for the Undisputed championship at 122.
If the Japanese star defeats uh Stephen Fulton, um long story, if we didn’t want to go to, we don’t need to go all the way down through it.
But those are the key points made by uh Eddie Hearn, with respect to potential fight, if uh annuity wins – and he had this to say about Dimitri bival, as reported by Sean Jones.
Also on boxing news, 24 matchroom box, Eddie Hearn, says he’d be interested in looking at making a fight between Jaime Mangia and Dimitri bevill.
This year Golden Boy promotions, president Eric Gomez, told ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez this week that he wants to match his popular unbeaten middleweight Contender.
Mangia who’s 41-0 by the way 33 Knockouts against WBA light heavyweight, champ, Dimitri bival, also undefeated, uh, 210 11 knockouts Hern admits that it’s strange the way that mongia’s promoters are matching him because he thinks he’d be better off fighting Canelo Alvarez or triple Gennady golo Golovkin.
As those would be competitive, fights but against bival Hern says: munguia won’t win around because he’s over matched Golden Boy likely has a lot getting Canelo or Golovkin agreed to fight Manju willingly.
Golovkin now is 40.
and there’s a good chance.
He would lose to Mangia.
Mangia said he wants to fight Golovkin, German Charlo Bible and Canelo in 2023.
.
All of those would be excellent fights without a doubt.
Uh we’ll have to see if Golden Boy can make any of those uh happen.
Gomez says that monkey could go up to 175 or fight a catch weight against Biffle monkey has a huge draw of her middleweight and some would say that that’s a natural 168 pounder, but with monkey as frame he could easily fight at 175 and look like a Genuine light heavyweight, yeah I’d be happy to look at that fight, said Eddie Hearn um.
Now, with respect to among again Dimitri bevill mongia, it’s just strange what they’re doing with him.
I like him.
I think he’s exciting for me: Mangia against Canelo monkey against Golovkin, but mague he wouldn’t have a shot at winning a round against Dimitri Bill, said Eddie Hearn.
If you’ve not shown any previous intentions of being in any dangerous fights, why would you choose Dimitri Biffle? Listen? Why not said her so anyway, so manga would be an excellent choice for Breville uh to fight in April as a warm-up to get him ready to battle carnello in uh September.
It’S fair to say a lot of U.
S boxing fans would be exciting at seeing Bibble versus monkeya in the first quarter of this year, but it’s questionable how much effort heard will make in setting up a fight between Bible and monkeya this year.
Hearn wants to set up a fight between Bibble and his matchroom fighter, Joshua pawatzi in April, followed by Canelo in September.
Right then moving along speaking of Dimitri bival.
He says his biggest ambition in boxing is to collect more titles, but he realizes some opportunities are easier to be had than others.
The WB WBA light heavyweight champ from Russia has made it clear.
His top priority is to become an Undisputed 175 pound champion.
More recently, He has expressed interest in competing 168, specifically for a rematch with that divisions, Undisputed Champion Canelo Alvarez, vivald, defeated Alvarez by unanimous decision last May in Las Vegas in a defense of his WPA 175 pound title, the two are most likely headed for a rematch In the second half of 2023.
Eddie Hearn, the promoter of both Fighters by the way recently suggested that a rematch at 168 for Alvarez for Alvarez’s Undisputed distinction is in play.
Bibble said, first of all, I want to get more belts.
I want more belts, it doesn’t matter who I just want belts, light heavyweight or super middleweight.
Whichever is easier to make the fight, I prefer that fight either option, however, will present their own specific set of challenges for pitfall.
Alvarez’S preference according to Hearn is for there.
He meant to be staged at 175, meaning if Alvarez the cash cow boxing gets.
What he wants Bill would have to make do with another defense of his WBA belt, a fight to gain any of the remaining three titles at 175 figures to be an even trickier.
Endeavor for bival because of corporate politics, Bibles promoted, Eddie Hearn of matram rarely does any business with top rank.
The company that backs wpowbc and ibf Russian light heavyweight champ Arthur bear indeed Hearn and top rank had bavarium have feuded Through The Years uh in the media.
Last summer, upon better bf’s knockout of Joe Smith Jr to collect his third 175 pound belt, Aaron told uh media.
He would not countenance scenario in which he would let better be of fight on a match from promoted card, because in that scenario the event would then have to be streamed by hearn’s partner de Zone.
The over-the-top subscription streaming service that Aram has long ridiculed for middling viewership aram’s top rank has a partnership with ESPN and loaning.
Better BFF out to a competitor would not be in their corporate interests.
Just so, you know, uh better, be ever set to defend his belts against London’s and the yard later this month, and even if a yard, a big Underdog ends up winning the business politics for bevel would not likely change yards, backed by Frank, Warren’s, Queensbury.
Another adversary of Hearn and who, moreover, has close promotional ties with top rank.
So in the meantime, bival who is uh boxing scenes, uh 2022 fighter of the year, is enjoying the considerable clout he earned with his upset victory over Alvarez Bibble followed that achievement up with a dominant point of win over contelder Contender, Gilberto Ramirez in October.
Ah, a bit of exciting news there and uh a bit of insight into the industry and how the industry works.
It’S personality driven without a doubt, Let’s uh, ZIP down to Kissimmee uh Florida just outside of Orlando, where we’re going to see one of our favorites here on talk and fight young lady by the name of Jasmine artiga, uh she’s in a main event Clash against Ashley Ceciente, okay, I’ve uh these guys.
Ah, a couple of a couple of good matchups on the undercard, Christina Cruz against Amy Salinas uh career Tapia versus colors, Claris Morales, Aaron genius, Ingram versus Bryant Costello, Robert Burwell versus Patrick Pierre, Alex Chisholm versus Elliot Hicks, Danny Suarez and Jonathan Lacona, going Koto uh Corey Marksman Adrian Orban, Joshua LeBron versus genotante Jackson, Blanco against Luca Burgess Glenn dessern versus Luis Dominguez, Hernandez cambera.
So it’s interesting to see.
You’Ve got uh three female boats headline and card down in Florida it’s called Warzone it’s taking place tonight, that’s January 20th at the Kissimmee Civic Center.
I believe it’s sold out and the promoter is Undisputed promotions and it’ll be shown on fight Plus network.
Let’S move along to the final story of the day, courtesy of Dan Ambrose over boxing news24.
com had a few comments to make with respect to a recent fight between gervanta tank Davis and Hector Luis Garcia, and he says they reportedly brought in a respectable two hundred thousand Two hundred fifteen thousand pay-per-view buys for their January 7th tilt that was shown on Showtime uh.
Remember that one took place at the Capital One arena in Washington uh, but according to um other people uh, including Dan Rafael, he reports uh.
The figures are consistent with three of Tanks: previous fights on Showtime and the numbers are higher than the 61 000 pay-per-view buys reported by Rick.
Glaser who’s often appeared on talk and fight in his Facebook page earlier this week.
With respect to that particular fight, so glazers say the numbers are very low compared to what is being reported by the Professionals in the media.
Uh quick, read through here.
Unfortunately, the numbers that tank Hector brought in are considered good for this era of pay-per-view.
Given how piracy has taken a massive bite out of this method of bringing in Revenue in the past a successful Pay-Per-View event would pull in over 1 million buys, but not anymore.
Tank Davis has remembered ninth rent knockout of Hector, Luz Garcia, generating more than 200 000 buys.
It says um on a sub stack site.
That’S a Dan Rafael speaking here on a sub stack site uh.
The final tally likely will not exceed 215 000 buys and when tank Davis, fights Ryan Garcia in April on Showtime that event could bring in over 1 million buys, however, but piracy will be a huge problem for that event as well, and given the interest in that Fight it’ll still do the numbers we like to see uh during the Heyday, when Floyd May Mayweather took on many Pacquiao and let’s have a quick read here, Hector Luis Garcia said I wanted to continue.
I kept telling myself should I or shouldn’t shouldn’t I, but I wanted to uh.
I was halfway done with the fights.
That’S why I wanted to continue.
My corner made the decision to stop it, but even after they stop it, my vision was very blurry.
I couldn’t see it’s normal for me.
I have too many years.
I know how to deal with criticism.
It doesn’t affect me uh when asked whether he was bothered by many boxing fans.
That said he quit against tank tank is a good fighter.
He said he didn’t knock me out.
He has a record because his opponent’s fear Him.
They built his career by their fear and talking about his power.
Although I took his power punches, I wanted to continue.
He didn’t push me back or Buckle me.
I felt like I’d still take all his punches as the rounds kept me going.
I was getting more confident if the fight had continued.
I felt like I could have finished him said Garcia, so we look forward to a rematch.
In fact, if that happens and that my friends concludes, another episode of talk and fight boxing news today, uh remember to uh join me at 4 P.
