Transcribed
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today and today.
Our first story comes to vi, sai Arabia and uh their plans.
Quite frankly, to shall we say: innovate uh the world of boxing, as we know it.
His Excellency turkey, Al Asik feels that boxing has gone in Decline since the 70s and 80s when it was one of the top sports in the world.
She wants to modernize things and fix boxing to make it popular once again like it once was for many years.
This on boxing news24.
com for all of you who want to read the complete story, he believes these were the root causes for the decline of boxing.
Are you ready boxing fans promoters reluctance to make the biggest fights that cost money Fighters avoiding risky opposition lack of charismatic Fighters for sanctioning bodies, failure of promoters to cooperate with each other Al alek’s idea to fix boxing is to make it interesting for the younger generation By enhancing the presentation using music using more cameras like the UFC, does having exciting events and having compelling fights, he said in the 70s and 80s, the sport was number one in the world and now I’m very sad with the last result I had before before we Go deeper, boxing is 14th.
There are a lot of reasons: there’s not a lot of Fighters as charismatic in charact with character.
Now, there’s a lot of problems with promoters.
They don’t want to do the strongest fights because it costs a lot now out of all this comes one thought, and that is where does his Excellency Excellency stand on the issue of women in the ring just curious, and we have discussed this before, and we’ve discussed The issue of sports walk Wasing as well, so let’s move along now to our next story: Natasha Jonas and Michaela, Mayer they’re going head-to-head and uh.
We now take a look at who might be an opponent for the winner of this upcoming fight.
So let’s have a quick look here at the story: cursor skyports, along with the ibf welterweight World title, the potential for massive future fights will be on the line when Natasha Jonas and Michaela Mara clash in Liverpool on Saturday.
That goes without saying.
I think that the sis are not going to allow these women to enter the ring and fight, but uh with the Brit and Americans among the biggest names in their sport H, particularly with respect to Sid on the pond.
There will be no shortage of Fighters queuing up to face the winner.
The fact that both Jon zir have and retain the ability to fight across several different weight divisions only increases a highly impressive pool of future opponents, while May has confirmed the victory for her.
Could result in Jones activating a rematch clause? Nothing can be taken for granted in boxing ahead of Saturday’s contest, which is live on skyports we’ve taken a look.
What could be? Who could be in line for a shot at the Victor Jess Mill? And again you can go to their story uh on skysports.
com for all these explanations: Sandy Ryan, uh, Karissa Shields.
I mentioned Lauren price and Caroline dubba, uh.
Of course, uh.
You might see Katie Taylor and Shan Tel Cameron going totoe again um.
You know for a Trilogy fight after spling 2 2023 contests Taylor wining sa about no means that she is currently the Undisputed some super lightweight and lightweight champion and holds all the cards in the event of the third meeting between them can’t be agreed.
They would both be in in play to face either Jonas or mayor, so a good story out of Sky Sports and uh.
What the English have to say about all this says: Michael Lair, the American we have to hustle harder than men, says Michaela Mayer and on the risks that are facing women in the ring.
Natasha Jonas and Michaela Mayer feel like a Rubik’s cube of a fight uh.
Perhaps it will uh feel like that kind of frustrating disoriented undertaking to the boxers on Saturday night as well, either way it feels like they Happ from the other side of the ropes, while attempting to break down the contest – and this is according to the independent over In the UK, as well in one corner will be liverpools and greeted by Hometown crowd, uh, Jonas and on the other, will be May having crossed the pond.
For the fourth time in his many fights, every war from the stands and the floor may prove crucial to Jonas.
If the bout reaches the final Bell and the judges are needed, her American opponent, meanwhile, will look to rest away.
The ibf Welterweight Title in enemy territory.
Then there’s matter of experience age, both uh at 39 uh Jonas, has less in front of her than 33-year old mayor uh, but also more behind her to drop on an Olympic veteran Jonah struck stuck to the sport uh through horrible times, as she admitted to finally Achieve her world title dream at the third time of asking on a fiful February night in 2022, the Britain battered Chris namus to become a world champion at Super welterweight.
Before the end of the year, she collected two more belts in the division before dropping down in weight, to become two Division champion all this eight years after retired from boxing.
If she could, the Jones of 2024 would ask the stupid 2014 version of herself.
What are you doing, and that also added people, don’t realize that it’s not the physical side of boxing? Sometimes it’s the mental side to keep to keep putting yourself in that horrible dark place and be the selfish horrible person that you need to be as a successful boxer.
It’S not easy.
She says I needed that mountain break.
I wouldn’t change it.
The hunger, the belief of myself to keep going the bad times were horrible, no athlete likes to have them, and no one really talks about them enough, but they also make you it’s sort of like a butterfly cocoon thing when you broken out comes something new.
I know the sport now and I know me that’s not to say that mayor doesn’t know the sport either.
She too has Olympic pedigree and held World titles.
First at Super featherweight, where she’s UniFi Champion until a narrow loss to Alicia bomb Gartner 2022.
Then interm gold at late lightweight uh.
My M has since fought once more at super lightweight continuing her gradual Ascent through the divisions.
She will therefore be naturally smaller fight against Jonas.
In another intriguing Twist of the Rubik Cube, albeit a bit taller um mayor, said of Jonas on paper she’s, the best opponent I fought she’s got the best resume of anyone.
I fought.
I don’t think I’ve got gone up against another Olympian as a pro I’ve been in championship fight, but so is she a handful of them and she has an amateur pedigree as well.
So let’s look forward to the result.
Uh next week, anyway, uh.
Let’S have a quick little look at um Michaela mir’s complaint ahead of the fight.
This is being reported on D Zone.
In fact, michaeler Mayer has hit out at her upcoming opponent, Natasha Jonas, by claiming the Brit boxer has an unfair Advantage due to the positioning of her groin guard.
The American will challenge Jonas for her ibf Welterweight Title, as I said on Saturday night upcoming, but has complained that the guard covers too much of the target area and is giving her an advantage for the fight mayor said she’s wearing a men’s cup.
She should really feel silly going to the ring with that on.
Come on.
You shouldn’t have to be told that ridiculous and is completely unfair.
I think it’s terrible Mar continued where’s, your body, you have to have your body exposed to some degree, I’m still going to go and rip that body again uh.
Will they be getting through as clean as they would uh, because some of those body shots uh, that you dig right to the bottom of the stomach? Those hurt, despite her complaints, there’s nothing that can change before the weekend Showdown.
Although mayor believes, the regulations should change in the future adding now.
This is part of the whole re evolutionary process of women gaining a place in the sport they haven’t had uh to to face the rule of, should we women be wearing just women’s cups or are they allowed to wear men’s cups body? Shots are very significant in boxing.
If you can’t land them because they have padding, then there should be an obvious IL legal piece of equipment, as of now she’s been able to fight in that cup.
So I can bring it up and I can mention it, but I will get it overturned for this fight.
I don’t know she’s going to get away with it.
That’S for sure it’s definitely an advantage that mayor uh, let’s have a quick look and see, is coming up.
Oh, I see some results here.
Undefeated super well lightweight marvelous, mccoon Williams, 20, and2 9, Knockouts stopped previously on beating Luis filano 19 and one in round number.
Six on Wednesday night at the white sends Event Center in Plant City, Florida Williams dropped felito twice in round two, but felano survived the round Williams, floored felano again round six Fano got up wobbly and belt was halted at 143 Williams, looked good for sure.
A clash between welterweight knockout ARS end up going 10 round distance between freus roas roas 13-0, winning a unanimous decision over by Christian bayz 19-4.
The bout seemed very close, but the crowd reacted with scor to the scoring with booze in a clash between unbeaten super featherweights.
Jacob Gomez, 901 scored a fifth round TKO over esal burrero six and one Gomez Dropped burrero In one and got a referee stoppage with BR punches in round number five.

His first world title shot against Devin the dream: Haney, the current WBC Junior welterweight world champion sander Martin, said Devon.
Haney calls himself the dream, but I’m his worst nightmare.

Let’S have a quick look at Saudi Arabia again.
He seems to be in the news a lot here.
His Excellency turkey, Al Alik, has big plans for the winner of this summer.
Undisputed contest between ibf WBC WBO, light heavyweight, champ, arur BV and WBA champ TTI bivel wanting to match the victory against ring.
Cruiserweight champ ja optia in 2024.
Whoever has their hand raised from the better bef bival fight in June or July could then meet opaa, who 24-0 19 Knockouts, who may have regained his ibf cruiserweight Title by then after his rematch with Maris bries, which I announced the other day on February 17th.
For the vacant Bel belt, so Alik has uh big plans, as I’ve said before, but again whether it involves women’s Fighters – I don’t know, but what is interesting and what will uh be interesting to all of you, I’m sure um YouTube has been blocked from Saudi Arabia.
Uh in a huge blow for Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury screams a headline out of the UK’s son.
Uh boxing boss in Saudi AR is bringing even the most bitter Rivals together, but it will not cross into YouTube boxing World wow in recent years.
Mega Money fights have been prized over to the Middle East, with antie Joshua, tyon, Fury and Deontay Wilder all involved, notably all being heavyweights frankly, but no influence has been bigger than his actually turkey.
Al Asik, the chairman of the general entertainment Authority in Saud Arabia, he’s in control of boxing in the region and has even managed to have feuding promoters.
Eddie Hearn, Frank Warren work together.
His Excellency wants everyone in this sport to collaborate.
I’M not sure he wants everyone to collaborate, but it will not cross over to the new age of influencer boxing, for example, and he told his own please, we don’t want any YouTuber fight.
Again, I don’t talk about names.
He said I want Fighters.
I want Fighters.
This is what I support.
This will come as a blow to the likes of KSI Jake, Paul and Tommy Fury Fury 24 member last year, beat both social media Sensations and remains linked with rematches.
His grudge match with Paul uh 27, was even stag in Riyad and saw him win a split decision.
The American Jake Paul has since distanced himself from the crossover boxing scene to head into a more traditional route.
Indeed, he has.
His last fight was against professional boxer.
On Andre August 35 years old uh, which he won by first round knockout uh Jake Paul Returns on March, 2nd on the undercard of amand sanos Puerto Rico.
Homecoming Amal Doo against the former against another Boxer.
Ksi, meanwhile, is taking time away from the sport and probably to focus on Misfits following his controversial loss to Fury, but he will always be in line for a blockbuster boat with Paul following years of feuding between the pair uh.
There are even talks to fight in Saudi Arabia in 2020 before the Corona virus pandemic, koed those plans um.
So that’s a bit of interesting news again out of Saudi Arabia via the sun in the UK, as it might affect uh the so-called influencers um.
Let’S have a quick little look here at our concluding story: uh again involving Saudi Arabia wow.
I can’t believe it here.
We go by our good friend, Phil J uh World Boxing news.
He says uh.
He can reveal that Saudi Arabia has renewed interest in staging get this a Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao rematch in 2020, wbn first broke the news of a Saudi Arabian offer on Mayweather versus Pacquiao 2.
Those plans were eventually confirmed Weeks Later by Mayweather and Pacquiao.
The pandemic, though, eventually scuppered any chances of the fight taking place in the Middle East anyway May Pac 2 was UN sheld as Pacquiao continued his professional career.
So, let’s see, let’s see if that happens, uh boxing fans would certainly be curious to see how those oldtimers get on in the ring together all right, quick little uh update on the heavyweight title here um.
Oh I’ve already mentioned that the new belt has come to fruition.
It will be available to the winner of the Tyson Fury Alexander yusk, fight uh, Frank Bruno uh is in the news he’s in so much more pain than fight in after surgery.
Let’S conclude with this story: British boxing heavyweight Legend Frank Bruno continues to suffer the effects of shoulder surgery.
