Out of australia, but one that is of interest to talking by fans uh, because mike orr from knuckle up was talking about jackson, england and, in fact, interviewed him on his show just uh the other week.

Could, apart with cards of 95 94 95, 94 and 97 92 in a real war in which he came from less two more to get an excellent victory.
Fleming fell to the canvas in the second round, which seemed to tip the scales for england who 24 had youth on his side.
However, fleming’s experience shone through and he was able to bounce back as the rounds went on and add to his tally heading into the decision.
It was a fight of much exchange and bravery says our report, in which both threw over 600 punches during the 10 rounds of action.
One of the candidates for fight of the year at a real show for the australian public, so fleming remains undefeated with 28 wins.
One drawn 18 knockouts, while england drops his record to 13, wins two losses and eight knockouts so good for boxing down under and uh good for those fighters uh to go the distance and and make it a real real war that we’d like to see across the Pond and around the world we’ll end up in plant city florida for a fight uh, that is upcoming, courtesy of our friends down in florida we see the pro box is putting on an event.
Boxing manager, tim van newhaus has four fighters in action.

I’M excited for the next steps.
In my career, i’ve been dreaming boxing, i’m becoming a world champion, said the proud puerto rican fighter, rivera i’m looking to become a legend in the sport, and you can only get one pro debut, so i want to make it as memorable as possible.
As i look to put on a show that everyone will enjoy fair enough 2020 olympian daryl dahl, saint is a haitian middleweight, who showed a lot of promise at every level of amateur boxing.
He says i’m ready to make my country proud.
I want to represent my country on the world stage of professional boxing and bring a world title back to haiti.
Many think of me as a boxer, but more than that i have a lot of intangibles, such as power, speed and other stuff.
People can’t explain fair enough.
The six foot four four inch light heavyweight daniel blancas is ready to show the world that he is here to take over his division.
I’M excited about this bout.
He said, and i look to show people that my style is better suited for the pros.
I have a style that’s hard to deal with for six eight or ten rounds, and people try to avoid me at the highest level of amateur boxing and even then most did not win.
I look forward to showing the world what i can do.
Finally, in their story, cruiserweight, not g lopez is looking to be the next great american cruiserweight, with only three pro fights coming all coming by wave stoppage lopez is looking.

I have a style that’s hard to deal with for six eight to ten rounds, people, oh my gosh.
I already said that sorry about it, fans uh all right.
Well, that came to a quick conclusion that story out of plant city florida.
I was expecting more quotes.
That’S probably you were too richard shaffer who heads up pro bellum has made the same prediction about the future, pat mccormack, as he did for young saul canelo alvarez that the olympian will become a pro pound for pound great schaefer said.
Nobody really believed him when he told the boxing world that alvarez was destined for the very top of the sport and when he began promoting the mexican.
Over a decade ago, uh schaefer was proven correct, as canelo has grown into the multi-weight world champion and the biggest fighter.
Well, let’s say one of the biggest fighters on the planet.
Mccormack an olympic silver medalist makes his professional debut in newcastle on friday night.
At the pro bellum, throwdown and schaefer says the 26 year old will become a world champion and take over the sport just like canelo.
I know i’m going to be right, because i was right in 2009 when i signed young fighter – and i said this guy is going to be the face of the sport he’s going to be the best pampered pound fighter in the world.
Schaefer said nobody really believed me.
They said it was a promoter talk, but that guy canelo alvarez.
I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to work with such a generational talent.
I’M telling you guys remember where you heard it first.
He will be a world champion.
He will be a superstar he’ll, be the face of sport because he has all the ingredients.
Pat was the most significant sought after talent over there, irrespective of weight following the olympic games and if he stays sharp stays, focused and doesn’t listen to all those outside influences.
Then the sky’s, the limit, that’s a lot of ifs.
It is an honor to be able to work with pat carmack concluded uh mr schaefer and, let’s see mccormack faces nicaragua as danny mendoza over six rounds at the ultimate altalita arena and has promised to go looking for a spectacular, knockout win.
If the chance presents itself.
I’Ve not boxed since the olympics.
I feel, like i’m celebrating my silver level about five months.
Mccormack said with a smile, but i’ve been training with ben davidson since january, working at things, i trust ben and the team.
So i’m going to go out there and do my thing on friday night.
If i smell blood, i’m going to take mendoza out.
Where have we heard that before anyway, i’m moving back across the pond over to illinois just outside of chicago the dome at the ballpark? In illinois, usa, chicago’s longest running promotional company hits boxing returns to the dome at the ballpark on friday night april, 1st april fool’s day with a special night of professional boxing.

Illinois fights maraude, lubenzadio zola, tuno with one knockout, he fights out of canelo winchester ohio that’ll be a six round super middleweight battle, and this will be the second consecutive undefeated opponent for a quieter one of the highlights of the evening will be the induction of him As who was a staple of hits boxing being enshrined as the first fighter inducted into the ring of honor, we created the ring of honor as a way to pay homage to our former fighters.
Who’Ve been a large part of our success.
This will become part of each of our shows going forward.
Mike has meant a lot to his boxing too, to the boxing climate of this town and to a lot of fans said his boxing ceo bobby hitz.
It’S only right to have him to be the first inductee he headlined so many of our shows and put in great performances, mike just retired.
So i’m very excited that i can honor him in this way.
Also seeing action in six rounds by the way in six roundabouts uh daniel bonaventura out of chicago is facing yamin muhammad in a lightweight contest.

Next, detroit brawl event, that’s expected to take place on april, 2nd again at the lincoln ballroom of the ford community and performing arts center in dearborn michigan, just outside of detroit considered one of the hardest punches in punchers in boxing and now working with highly regarded trainer.
Former champion john jackson, 28 year old ishmael is a former amateur standout on the international level.
Now competing as a world-class professional ishmael has already held the wbo global championship in his short two-year pro boxing career.
Among many impressive performances.
He was last seen in the ring in january needing just four rounds to brutalize capable veteran israel doofus at the kharib royal in orlando florida.
Every fight i’m coming to show my sharpened tools, said asmeliov during a break in his training with jackson.
I’M excited to fight again in detroit against my undefeated opponent to give the fans another spectacular knockout.
I will soon be world champion fair enough moving along here.
Let’S see, let’s go to munich, germany, i haven’t had a story admin in a while on april 16th in munich, germany, wbf internet, intercontinental titleist, shafat isufi will face former ibf world champion alejandro barrio for the vacant.
Wbf world light heavyweight title: the sufi who’s 33-4, with two draws and 24 knockouts became wbf intercontinental champion last september when he defeated czech, warrior thomas adamak and is now ready for what will be a second world title opportunity.
In 2019, the serbian-born german lost the decision to billy joe saunders for the wbo world super middleweight title, but has rebounded, with six straight victories to line up a second chance at light heavyweight on a previous visit to germany, alejandro nacho barrio who’s 39-10 with 33 knockouts.
In his own won the ibf world super middleweight crown in 2007 stopping robert steiglitz in three rounds.
He lost the title seven months later to lucien butte in front of over 13 000 spectators over in montreal quebec, canada.
It will be the hard punching colombian veterans first world title fight since then, so he’ll be undoubtedly looking to make the most of it.
The fight expects to be an explosive affair, will headline a show promoted by petcos boxing over in england.
Jack massey will make the first defense of his ibo world cruiserweight title on april 30th at the university of bolton stadium and i’ll be shown, live on fight zone for you, uk viewers massey from marvel, but fighting out of manchester will return to the scene of his World title triumph when he became the first man to stop bilal finishing the belgian in three pulsating rounds in november of last year.
Winning the ibo crown thrust massey into the higher echelons of globe’s port 14 stone four pounds: division with the 28 year old, now ready to face the world’s best massey’s only career defeat in 20.
Outings was a contentious 2019 british title loss to touted richard riapori.
In a fight, many had one smack jack winning with 10 knockouts from his 19 wins.
The former double aba champion is ready to go again and his aim to put the cruiserweight division back on notice, as are a few other fighters.
I can name anyway said jack.
I mentioned to get back in the ring and show everyone what i’m about again winning the world title at the bolton stadium was a special night and the atmosphere was through the roof.
I’Ll always bring a big crowd on april 30th, we’ll be absolutely rocking again.
We are ready to go.
I have a great team behind me with rob rimmer, kev, murray, dennis hobson and steve crump.
I can’t thank them enough.
I’M ready to put another knockout performance and prove i’m one of the best cruisers in the world.
Fair enough.
Here we go uh, sunny, edwards, going toe or two against julio cesar martinez.
This is a fight we’ve been looking forward.
Hearing about and richard shaffer and eddie hearn agreed live on national radio.
I imagine uk radio that the huge flyweight unification clash between sunny, edwards and julio cesar martinez must be made.
Edwards expertly defended his ibf title at pro bellum evolution in dubai this past weekend and immediately turned his attention to fighting mexico’s wbc belt holder martinez.
Next pro bellum schaefer, pro bellum’s schaefer, said uh on talksport studio.
By the way he was talking to host jim white when match from chief eddie hearn joined them to discuss the chances of the unbeaten edwards meeting martinez.
Both strongly agreed that there should the wbc champion should come through with a mandatory title defense later this year.
Then the fight with edwards has to happen.
Edward’S nickname showtime then joined them on the phone, also from his lounger on holiday in dubai.
To reinforce that, he is ready and waiting to take on martinez.
Can you two get a deal done on here? That’S jim white.
I think everybody wants that fight said that eddie hearn edwards is a character and talk about rubbing people up the wrong way.
He’S a great guy he’s very outspoken, he’s a very good fighter.
He is maybe maybe the best in the division, but it’s between those two martinez against any other words is definitely a fight.
We need to see.
This is one of the most talked about fights and i agree with your assessment of sonny.
I think he’s an amazing self-promoter and he has all the skills to back it up added richard schaefer he’s a trash talker, but he can really fight he’s got it all.
They’Re, an added there’s, a great narrative in the fight and history, because don’t forget that julio caesar martinez knocked out sonny edward’s brother, charlie edwards for the wbc world title.
He actually hit him when he was on the floor and knocking him out, and the fight was ruled in no contest.
There will be a lot of trash.
Talking and sunny is a nightmare.
He’S been having pops at eddie renee, so at canelo, of which julia cesar martinez is part of the team.
So the build-up is everything you want in a fight.
You want two guys to go at it.
He went on to say: maybe you do one fight in london and one in california.
Sun is a headliner, particularly here in the uk as well.
So i’m sure we could build up a nice show around it and have some much much room fighters against some pro bell fighters and have some fun with it.
Schaefer ibf champion edwards, then surprised her to join the call and said it’s the fight.
That makes the most sense.
There are other good fights out there for both of us in the division, but when you really think about it, there’s no other fight with this.
With the backstory and with the pre-made build up it’s a very interesting fight, because it’s two completely conflicting styles and a splitting opinion pretty much down the middle.
Because if you ask half the people, then i’m getting knocked out in a matter of minutes and the other half is telling you i’m going to school them.
I think it’s just great for boxing and like eddie said it can happen anywhere all right.
Let’S hope that happens.
Let’S finish off today’s episode with a quick little story about a chap whose name i cannot pronounce born in kosovo: undefeated universal boxing organizations, international cruiserweight champion speaking of the cruiserweights uh labanot x-hawks hajj, so maybe hawksash fights out of gibenstorf switzerland.
Nowadays, the 29 year old puncher made his professional debut in germany during the summer 2016 and also had a second paid fight in germany.
Since then, 11 of his next 14 bouts have taken place in switzerland with one of bosnia and two in his native kosovo.
Between february and may 2018, he started to show his potential when he defeated fellow prospects.
He also have dharmos and and and irvine dignik and former yubio baltic champion jacob sinek, the latter two inside the distance on december uh, 27.
2020.
He boxed in kosovo for the first time as a pro stopping hungarian thomas lodi uh to win the ubf intercontinental heavyweight title exactly one year later he won the ubo international cruiserweight crown also in kosovo when he demolished finland’s marco monolin.
Who was seven at one time in the very first round? Clearly, skilled and powerful is dangerous and ambitious and is looking for another big fight in 2022 to establish to further establish his name in the talent-rich cruiserweight division.
Absolutely anyway, as i said, his record 16-0 with 13 knockouts and that cruiserweight is a heck of a division and we look forward to hearing more from mr all right.
Thank you very much for joining me here on talk and fight, appreciate it remember to like share subscribe.
