I don’t know [ Music ] boxing fans around the world, thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight.

Another episode of boxing news today, uh, remember to Bear me remember, like share subscribe hit that notification Bell.

Let’S talk about boxing.

First of all up front: we’ve got the WBC who have ordered art of pretty biev uh to go ahead to head against column Smith too bad that we weren’t going to see Beville better to be of.

But the WBC has ordered WBC light heavyweight champ to make his mandatory defense against Calum Smith.

Negotiation should start as soon as possible, and the teams of both Fighters must reach an agreement before April 11th.

Otherwise, a purse bid must be held, as you might recall, in his most recent bout, better, be have knocked out Contender, Anthony yard in eight rounds and instant fight of the Year candidate.

While Smith comes from knocking at Matthew bandelique out in the fourth round of his WBC elimination bout, so let’s move along quickly to the WBO uh WBO World Cruiserweight champ laurenza Coley, 18-0 14 Knockouts is aiming to do a demolition job on undefeated title Challenger, David light Is flying in from Australia to meet him in Manchester he’s 20-0 with 12 Knockouts uh and they’re going to meet, as I said on Saturday March 25th, on Sky Sports um in Manchester England, but he knows okoli knows there will be hard work involved.

As light brings a deep pedigree to the ring with him, the 31 year old has won a silver medal at the 2014 Note Commonwealth Games and was three times national champ of his native New Zealand before turning pro in 2017 and commencing his 20 fight win streak.

Instead of Coley he’s got good hands.

Good footwork he’s able to change up his style, find the back foot find the front foot, have a slug Fest like he did in his last fight, so I’ll be interested to see what he thinks he’s going to do on the day.

As soon as I establish myself when I get started comfortable, letting the big shots off we’ll see if that game plan of his is working or not we’re going to have a conversation, but not with words, I have to assert myself on him said: akoli Coley has Prepared for this fight, his third title defense with Nota trainer, Shaquille Stewart and says the partnership – has produced a focus game plan which we’ll see the which we’ll see light picked apart before being taken out of the middle of the 12th round.

Wow, it’s uh.

It’S definitely been a new experience, training with a great teacher Like Sugar Hill.

It’S been very much about positioning, it’s very much the tiniest little things, but it makes a big difference gives me short sort of structure instead of just doing what I want.

I find myself paying a lot more attention to detail, so we look forward to that fight.

In fact, matter of fact, we hear talk and fight should be at that fight and uh, look forward to attending and reporting to our fans as to what’s going on minute by minute uh a great card set up in Manchester.

Anyway, let’s move along around the world to another famous fighter, Manny Pacquiao, who has announced his re, who had announced his retirement in August 2021, but now plans to fight um against Connor Ben.

This is according to MP promotions, president Shawn Gibbons uh Pacquiao, who turned 44 in December, is engaged in talks for a welterweight fight against UK Starr Conor band recently disgraced through that peculiar medicine he was taking and that fight is being eyed for June 3rd in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, though Ben is also considering two other opponents for his comeback bout Cal Brook and Chris Eubank Jr uh Pacquiao, one of the greatest fighters of all time said he was retired after he suffered a unanimous decision, loss to you didn’t as Yugas in a welterweight title defense, the boat was Pacquiao’s first uh, since a split decision victory over Keith Thurman in July 2019.

, uh Pacquiao was set to fight Errol Spence Jr in August 2021, but after Spence withdrew from a detached retina Pacquiao was forced to adjust to A new opponent on 11 days notice, but one month later, Pacquiao, who was then sitting senator in Philippines, announced he was running for president of his native country and Gibbons had this to say he retired, for a minute to run for presidents of the Philippines, where he Took a respectful third place and after that he felt that his retirement was due to running for president now was he wasn’t elected? He wants to fight again and feels like he can do it at the highest level.

We shall wait and see all right, outspoken and undefeated New Yorker Gerald Big Baby Miller as opposed to Jared.

The real big baby Anderson says he’s going to take former WBA regular heavyweight champ Lucas, Big Daddy Brown out quickly this Saturday to prevent the big Australian from Landing any late round magic against him, WBA ranked number 10 Miller, 250-1 21 Knockouts and WBA number nine Brown.

31 327 Knockouts will meet at the agenda arena in Dubai in the 10 round main event of a stellar show presented by Anatolia saladinov at a hardcore boxing.

That also features a 10 round super featherweight co-main event between Dublin’s Ireland’s WBA number, five and ibf number 11 rated former World tile Challenger jono, King Kong, Carroll and three-time World title Challenger, Miguel, Maria agar, and I announced this all yesterday.

So, let’s just get straight to it, uh I think there’s some quotes here.

Uh, yes, um said big baby on Lucas Brown, he’s a big guy he’s durable for a certain number of rounds.

He has good overhand right but technically and fundamentally he’s nowhere near me.

I know I’m stronger, I know I’m faster, I’m younger.

I have an amazing job.

My IQ in the boxing is phenomenal everything he does.

I do a million times better, but he’s game.

That’S all that matters in the fight game, one punch in the heavyweight division.

Anything can happen, so I do not sleep on him and how he sees that fight unfolding.

He said I’m thinking it will go four rounds or less I’m not trying to play with it.

I’M not going to give him the opportunity to land that right hand.

He fought, Juniper and Junior doesn’t realize what he walked into.

I saw him as a slow starter.

He got speed up a lot and then seven or eight rounds.

He lands a right hand that gets the guy out of there.

My goal is to not let it go 10 Rounds.

I’Ve got head movement and good stiff jab.

Once I get him hurt I’ll go in there and send him home, I’m definitely going to knock him out in the early rounds of the fight.

It could be a combination or just one punch, but I know I’m going to stop him and finally, what would our week be without a quote from Eddie Hearn, Eddie Hearn says he’s received bigger money offers to Stage Canal Alvarez’s fight against John Ryder in other countries, But he and his trainer manager, Eddie Van Isel, insisted on fighting in Mexico for the next contest on May 6.

.

The Canelo Ryder fight will be a tough sell as far as peddling it on the Zone.

Uh pay-per-view to the fans says it’s not sellable, says Sam volts out of boxing Towing Fox news24.

com, not sellable.

He says Ryder who’s 32-5, with 18 Knockouts uh earn, will have his work cut out and try to sell this fight on pay-per-view, because this isn’t a main event level fight, Canelo Ryder looks out of place on pay-per-view.

According to Salvador Rodriguez, the canal Rider undercard will have WBC Flyway champ.

Julio cesarmentina is fighting McWilliams arroya and former WBC light heavyweight champ Alexander kovacic fighting is still to be determined opponent.

Ryder has lost to three of Canal’s former victims and is difficult to view this.

As any other than a complete mismatch, the only way Canelo loses is, if he’s totally washed up and which you can argue, is very near fitting.

That category says this author: it’s not a big deal for fans at canelo’s decision to take less money to fight in Mexico on May 6, but what they do have.

What they do have is an issue with a level of opponent and choosing the 34 year old rider and placing it on the Zone.

Pay-Per-View shockingly Canelo would place his little fight on pay-per-view, but it shows you what, where his priorities are, as he nears the end of his career uh.

What uh, what Hearn isn’t saying is why he chose Ryder as his opponent to fight in front of his fans.

In Mexico is pretty obvious: Ryder is a winnable fight for Canelo, a very, very winnable one.

Why Canelo faces Dimitri bivol in a rematch later this year in September? That’S a fight he’s likely to lose perhaps badly.

Likewise, if Canelo chooses to fight David benavidez, that’s another one that could get beaten as well, obviously, Canelo won’t have his Mexican fans to see him getting beaten by Bibble or benavidez.

Hence he’s picked Rider as his opponent of fighting Guadalajara Mexico, rather than them elsewhere.

Um said John Ryder he’s coming off not a good year coming off an injury fighting in front of his home fans for the first time 12 years, so the pressure is on him.

I believe timing is everything and I believe the timing is right now said Ryder.

This is my sixth fight promoting Saul and we’ve always we’ve always spoken about Mexico City Hearn.

He made it happen, the money is less, but this is the time a lot of people believe Ryder beat Callum Smith, but he came back and beat Danny Jacobs and Zach.

Parker Saul is coming back from injuries as well.

John Ryder has a big heart and will have a great fight on Cinco de Mayo.

If you would have beaten Callum Smith, he would have gotten this fight.

Two years ago we kept getting offers from around the world, and the money was very, very different.

I would go to canelo’s Trader manager, Eddie and say we got this off of here.

We got this off from Mexico.

No, no Mexico was the response.

I go back to people and say sorry.

If we’re going back to Mexico, wait, here’s a new offer and it was Eddie and Saul, they said no stop.

This is where we’re going.

They obviously have a lot of support from the government from here in Jalisco, which is very important in making this event.

Money, of course, is important, but memories pictures no one can ever take that away from you.

You can tell that from all of his achievements, what they actually mean to him mean to him.

This is about making sure before he retires, which is hopefully a long way away that he was able to come back and fight in his hometown, and this is very important to him.

Everybody knows the money before you start you have.

You have the pay-per-view, of course, on the Zone.

John Ryder is my friend.

I promoted him for 10 years.

This is about getting back, I’m watching.

I said sorry, it’s about sitting back and watching.

This is 50 000 people in Guadalajara.

It’S going to be wild and I’m lucky to be very part of it, said Hearn all right good for him, so we’ll see how that goes.

Thanks for joining me here on talk of, I appreciate it remember to join me at 4 pm eastern time for uh, Mike Orr and Cedric Ben, and their show knuckle up thanks very much and we’ll see you tomorrow, foreign
