Foreign hello, there, boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news headlines.
First of all, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people at Thompson.
Boxing on the passing of Ken Thompson, their CEO uh, he rests in peace now, um, let’s get on to um news.
We saw some pretty good fights on the weekend, as you might have recalled over at the aladome in San Antonio Texas.
Unbelievably, a really good one but Ray Vargas lost uh to WBC silver, feather champ and number one ranked oshaki Foster, which surprised many uh but didn’t surprise us on the talk and Fight Friday night panel uh.
Who, who picked Foster to win that one actually but nonetheless uh that that hurts Vargas? Quite frankly, in a big way anyway, on the undercard of that particular fight, a co-main event um.
We also saw uh uh sorry about this um sorry, Mario Barrios snaps, to fight losing streak with a win over Santiago uh.
So we were all looking forward to seeing uh Santiago, who had a 14-3-1 record going to this uh been said.
Mario Barrios has scored an impressive TKO Victory uh over that uh Challenger.
As I said, uh taking place at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio Texas, great City, I’ve ever been there, it’s uh, it’s a fun city to go visit and a great uh fighting State.
Anyway, I wanted to move past those results because they were discussed by our other uh hosts on the weekend uh I want to discuss uh Adam azim, one of the most exciting young British prospects, who dominated quite frankly, Santos Reyes and took a unanimous decision uh over 10 rounds and he now moves to eight and Noah’s professional and he controlled the entire fight.
Quite frankly, over the weekend, uh almost never giving raise the opportunity to land a single clean, shot, azim jabbed and moved throughout not taking a single risk before he landed knocked down in the second round where he did increase his offensive output.
The jab continued and eventually won, but I want to go through uh.
Let me have a quick uh mention here about Ben Shalom, the boxer, CEO and founder.
He said for a 20 year old to display that kind of maturity and intelligence in his first fight headlining, a major British Arena perfectly illustrates why Adam azim is the brightest Prospect in Bridge boxing today and why he’s tipped for future Greatness by so many Insiders.
I wanted to quickly jump over to someone else who we’ve mentioned quite often on talk and fight: uh, Caroline Dubois, who also [ Music, ] um, who also was Victorious.
He stamped her presence in women’s boxing in 2022.
Waking people up to her how talented she is and 2023 looks set to be a continuation of a rapid Ascent through the ranks.
Nothing has slowed, Caroline Dubois down yet in her quest for World Championships and does look, I think, will soon um.
She beat uh farichi, mashari and uh and continues on her winning ways again.
Shalom says: Caroline is a phenomenal talent and showed that again we’re looking to move her through the ranks fast, and we wanted to fight five times in 2023 and also uh one of uh.
My core one of our cohorts in to hakavite he’s a big fan of Jamie tkv and he defeated Harry Armstrong on a points uh decision.
Let me just quickly rip through the uh.
It was a big fight card, so Adam azine defeats Santos, Rios uh, Zach jelly.
One of my favorites defeated: Auntie Sims Jr uh Vidal Riley, defeated Anis, Taj Tyler Denny feeded Brad Paul’s, Caroline Devon.
As I said, David varesh, mashari German T, Kevin gkv, defeated Harry Armstrong, Jordan, Reynolds defeated Muhammad branchadi, uh, Stephen McKenna, defeated Brendan Danish and razor Ali defeated Hector, Lozano, a big card and a great Fight Night for British fans uh.
Now, let’s move along to uh, more news out of Britain regarding uh Tyson, Fury and Alexander yusik.
Now we had all hoped that this fight would take place in Saudi Arabia, which is where Alexander yusik wants the fight to take place, because he would make an awful lot of money.
But the Saudis cannot confirm.
They’Ll have jeddah’s Stadium, completed by the actual fight night of April 29th and of course there are other venues that they could stage the fight there, but Tyson’s Fury Camp wants the fight now move back to Wembley.
If the fight does go back to Wembley, then Alexander yusek might back out of that fight because, quite frankly, he won’t get paid as much as he really wants to get paid.
So who would make a match for Tyson Fury at this stage? Uh insiders of Saint Joseph Parker, a good friend of Furies, it’s an obvious choice for him to defend against on April 29th.
If his promoters cannot negotiate a deal with usick Parker’s coming off a lackluster win over former Cruiserweight Jack Massey back in January, however, it doesn’t matter that Parker looked poor, he’s a friend of Furies and that’s the easy fight to make.
So let me give a bit of insight into how money works and how things are changing the boxy industry.
So Sam volts, our friend over boxing news24.
com, said Tyson.
Fury’S promoters will be taking a considerable risk if they insist on staging the old zombie music fight at when we stayed him in London rather than in Saudi Arabia on April 29th.
Well, after the offer me in reasons uh that, quite frankly, music might not take that fight.
After all, both Fighters will want huge guaranteed purses and, unfortunately, the ticket sales and pay-per-view buys may not cover the money.
Fury and music will expect to be paid if they fight over at Wembley.
There’S no way the promoters for the fur USIC like kind of guarantee, the kind of money that they’ll want to get because they have no idea what kind of numbers the fight will bring in the Saudis, however, have the money to blow so there’s no issue with The purses like there would be if they staged the fight in London.
It makes no sense at all to Stage the fight in the UK because it’s too much of a risk and neither these guys are going to be happy if their purses are much smaller than they would have gotten.
If they’d stage, the fight in Saudi Arabia, Fury’s promoters could take a bath in this one and lose Millions if the promotion fails to bring in the revenue to cover the huge purses.
Moreover, yusic isn’t going to want to gamble on the tiny guaranteed purse and rest.
The rest depends on pay-per-view upside because it may not bring in big enough numbers to surpass what he could have received if the fight with Fury worth had stage in Saudi Arabia, according to the Daily Mail, the stadium and Jetta Saudi Arabia won’t be done in time.
For the April 29th date, in that case, Furious promoters need to delay the fight until the stadium is completed, because April 29th isn’t going to work if it needs to be delayed, two or three months so be it at least they won’t lose money and both Fighters Will agree to the purses, so this author continues now.
This doesn’t surprise me at all.
I said, oh about the Tyson Fury, uh Alexander music fight uh.
Both of these Fighters agreed to the terms and the money when the fight looked.
It was going to be headed to Saudi Arabia, it would have been a big site fee and the money would have been really really good.
Now, the biggest problem with it is what’s happening there in Saudi Arabia would have been 50 50 split.
It’S a neutral site.
Oh, my god, dog God, let’s continue on with Deontay Wilder, while my dark, while my dog takes care of business, uh, Deontay Wilder is reportedly frustrated with the money being offered by PBC for a clash against former ibfwbaw heavyweight, champ, Andy Ruiz.
As a result, the team of Wilder who’s 43-2-1 42 Knockouts is discussing a potential fight with Francis nagayo next Mike Carpenter says frustration on wildest part from the money PBC is offering for him to face a 33 year old Ruiz, who’s, 35 and 2 with 22 Knockouts.
It’S unknown what the kind of money Wilder hopes to get for fighting Ruiz, but it’s safe to say that he’s counting on getting in the 20 million dollar range.
But he’s dreaming says this: author, Charles Brun, because he’s not one of the British heavyweights who’s got Untold riches for their fights in England to get that kind of money.
Guys, like Tyson, Fury and Andy Josh are typically are given for fighting like uh the likes of Dirk jazora and Jermaine Franklin.
While they would need to fight High Caliber opposition.
The chubby Andy Ruiz, Jr just doesn’t fit that category and never did having gotten used to making massive money fighting Tyson Fury.
It’S got to be a shock to former WBC champion Wilder to get offered similar, though, for a fight against the once popular Ruiz.
It’S unrealistic for a while to be getting huge money for Ruiz because he’s arguably not taking his career seriously since his two fights with Auntie Joshua in 2019.
, if they’re, counting, while they’re taking a small guarantee offer with the possibility of earning more based on the upside.
It’S unlikely he will take take that deal because Ruiz Jr isn’t the big star.
Let’S uh.
Finally conclude my episode with a little bit on jermal Charlo, who says he’ll return to the ring in June to defend his WBC middleweight title.
But there’s no word yet on who the opponent will be um for titles for Charles title, but it’s likely to be a low-level French Contender due to his two years of inactivity.
Charles said, he needed time away from boxing which he took in abundance.
The magical question is: why didn’t the WBC strip your amount of his 160 pound title out of fairness to the 15 contenders that have been waiting for their shot at the WBC belt? For the last, I needed time away from the sports at Charlo back in my bag, I’ll be defending my WBC.
What the heck does back in my bag mean anyway I’ll be defending my WBC Title in June.
Sorry for the wait, um it’s unfair to the contenders.
In wbc’s top 15 at middleweight for them to have to wait two years while champ Charles took time away from defending his title, Charlo should have either been stripped outright or given the Emeritus tag by the world boxing Council.
So the one of his contenders could take over as a champion and keep the belt in play with that said, Jamal’s mandatory defense is long since dude, but as the WBC isn’t forcing it he’ll fight whoever he wants in a voluntary defense against a likely bottom feeder.
In the wbc’s ranking wow such as makajai salukkai anyway, I’m sure you can Google that for further information anyway, let me conclude this episode by uh.
Thank you for joining me appreciate.
