[, Music, ] hello, there, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, courtesy of our friends across the pond at fox and 247.
com, we’re going to start today’s uh episode off with a story out of leeds england, where we saw ebony Bridges over the weekend win the ibf phantom weight title with the 10-round unanimous decision over maria roman, that about took place in front of a sold out crowd at the first district arena.
As i say, at lee, england and uh bridges was managed by split team management under brian cohen and team empire, uh boxing outworked and out hustled roman on the inside, as well as landing some great punches on the body.
She was effective with her uppercut and took the lead from the outset good for ebony, who is really making great strides in the world of women’s boxing and overcoming a lot of uh prejudice.
Shall we say she said i’m feeling proud of myself and everything that i’ve sacrificed has been worth it? This belt means all the sacrifice and training.
I was so happy for that kind of fight.
I hope the fight was entreating.
Cecilia brought the fight, i’m grateful to win the title in the great city of leeds.
As i said she, she landed 205 out of 645 punches, whereas their opponent, roman, was 156 out of 430 punches.
So indeed a great fight and congratulations once again to ebony bridges.
Elsewhere, uh we see that tim van newhaus and his stable of young boxers is uh growing and becoming quite dominant uh.
I see that four of their fighters won not only their bouts but by knockout cruiserweight naji lopez, super middleweight, daniel blancas, middleweight van sant and super featherweight jean-paul rivera got uh highlight reel knockouts this past friday night on the newest edition of the emerging florida-based pro box Promotions card now being touted one of the best cruiserweights prospects in boxing and naji lopez who’s.
Now four now, with four knockouts, continues his career with a knockout streak, as i said out, for he stopped anthony stewart six two and two now in the fourth round of a scheduled six-round bout lopez continues to look like america’s great next cruiserweight, fair enough elsewhere.
We see that uh urbeck kovatov went to against gregorian, and this is a result that took place in the kharib royal in orlando florida.
Uzbek kovalev won his wba featherweight eliminator bout against adronic gregorian yeah in orlando scored a wide unanimous decision with scorecards at 119 109.
One on 119, 109 and 1 18 108.
thanks his excellent boxing style.
He imposed all the way through it was a clash of two fighters with great projection is predicted to be very close fight, in which small details would decide.
The winner, however, kalvatov blew all that away and dominated the fight at long distance, preventing gregorian from getting into the exchange and nullified him to take an easy win in the ring.
Although his opponent tried to get up in the final four rounds, uh uh kovalev was able to handle the situation and clinch the fight it was already secured on the scorecards.
The winners record now stands at 10, wins no losses and nine knockouts, while gregory now has 14 wins one loss with three knockouts elsewhere.
We see this fighting going on in ecuador.
Boxes who were born between 1982 and 2003 are eligible to attend the ambc american elite.
Boxing championships there are neutral referees and judges from europe in the competition to do fair play in ecuador, which hosted the last ambc confederation event for the elite women’s boxers in 2009.
Altogether 197 boxers attending are attending the ambc american elite boxing championships from 25 different countries down in ecuador.
The number of women’s boxers is a record number of 75 and the most popular category is the featherweight division.
That’S 57 kilograms.
122 male boxers are competing for the 13 available mail tiles in ecuador, where the lightweight 60 kilogram and light welterweight hundreds uh, sorry, 63.
5 kilogram are having the biggest number of athletes there.
Among the title holders of the competition colombian, yeni arias and brazilian women’s world champion beatrice ferreira, argentinian lucia perez and canadian tamera thibault will be there in ecuador to defend their thrones, which they earned five years ago, good for them, and congratulations to the country of ecuador.
For hosting that event over in the crown plaza hotel in warwick, rhode, island usa, back on the 26th of march, we saw undefeated pittsfield massachusetts, quentin sumpter, a heavyweight pull off an upset um that better positions, emperor’s uh, significant fight this year, sumter went into the lines.
Then, to face undefeated providence, heavyweight timothy hatfield, uh who’s, now three in one with three knockouts, a decorated new england, amateur boxer, without any reservations like a throwback fighter, sumter never turned down a fight from his promoter, chris triati against hotfield.
Something came out, throwing big overhand rights that obviously made a deep impression on his opponent, who was never in the fight.
Despite one judge scoring the fight a draw, while the other well, the two others had something winning all four rounds.
Fair enough uh chris, is always taking care of me.
Uh sumter added to his uh, quotes here on the first heavyweight he calls we had the fight on the fury wilder three card last october in vegas, but that fell through.
So i’m grateful for granite, chin and proud of chris uh for promoting me by the way.
Quentin’S younger brother undefeated super middleweight prospect.
Stephen who’s 5-0 is also promoted by granite chin.
That’S good stuff out of new england.
There all right over.
We go to spain upcoming at the palau olympic vale de bruyne in barcelona, following his sensational victory over mikey garcia in october last year, barcelona sandor martin 39-2, with 13 knockouts to set for a homecoming event against against the all-action hard-hitting jose felix who’s.
39.
5-1.
With 30 knockouts this saturday april 1st, in what was arguably one of the biggest wins in spanish boxing history, xander martin will be looking to maintain momentum towards a world title shot against a dangerous mexican.
The bout is for the vacant.
Wba international super lightweight title.
The spaniard has now earned the right to fight for the regional belt of the pioneer organization and the event uh to be organized by match from boxing.
As i said at the plow olympic vale debra is an unbeatable scenario.
To do so.
Mexican jose felix is the busy opponent that always generates danger and wants to damage martin’s party.
The fighter from los bichos has fought good level opponents such as isaac, cruz and brian vasquez, so he has enough experience for this kind of occasion.
Looking forward to that fight night uh moving over to england, now we see that katie healey has been added to the big fight coming up in uh the rotherham magnus center taking place on april 3rd in a sport.
That’S absolutely booming.
Katy healy is another female fighter.
In the want to watch category, a former kickboxing world champion healey turned over to professional boxing last year and has raced to a 3-0 record looking into him looking at an improved fighter every time he has stepped into the ring so on sunday april 3rd.
On a championship afternoon, topped by british flyweight champion tommy, frank defending against craig derbyshire katie gets another chance to climb the super bantamweight rankings with an undercard shot.
As i said at the rotherham magnus center ahead of the boat, the 23-year-old chats about her progress so far and the influence of world champion stablemate hannah rankin and you can check out that video on boxing247.
com’s website, also quiet and unassuming keenan wainwright, couldn’t be any different.
In the ring, the wolf can box is clinical and has very heavy hands, evidenced by his record of seven wins, one defeat and four knockouts tellingly, though the 24 year old is knocking out fighters that rarely gets stopped, including well-known, durable, journeymen, andy harris and sean davis.
As well as come to win fighters like joe ducker and irvin magno, the southpaw is next out this sunday april 3rd on that same card as katie healey on the undercard of stablemate tommy frank’s british flyweight, title defense.
As i said against correct derbyshire ahead of the night, the protege from the sheffield boxing center says he’d love to fight for the british title by the end of the year with campbell hatton in the opposite corner.
He believes i’m on a good knockout streak.
At the moment, and if i get another one in his next fight, then i’ll be start and then i’ll start believing the hype about myself.
To be honest, at this stage, i don’t want to be walking through people, because you just don’t learn much uh, but i’m not going to pull any my punches because we’re in there to hurt each other at the end of the day.
I do take my time in the ring.
I never go all guns blazing and i’m patient, but when i didn’t eventually catch them, they seem to get knocked out.
It’S funny because when i was an amateur glenn rhodes used to tell me that i had to hurt people to keep them off now, he’s telling me to slow down the way that campbell hatton and myself progressing as pros at the end of the year.
That could be a massive british title.
Fight it’d, be great uh, be a great fight between us campbell fought joe ducker in his last fight who i’ve beaten and he did really well.
He boxed great and was one of his best performances.
I don’t think campbell had much of an amateur career and he’s picking up loads in the pros he’s still learning, though, but the progress he’s making is great and that’s why i believe the fight between us towards the end of the year would be really good.
He does get caught a bit, though, and he’d be in trouble if i caught him, but any lightweight would anyway, fight academy presents an evening of boxing in rotherham’s magnet center on sunday april 3rd, headlined by british flyweight champion tommy frank in defending his title against don Castro’S craig derbyshire, the undercard will also feature sheffield’s keenan wainwright he’s billy pickles and rhys cartwright brunswick’s levi giles wolverhampton’s katie healey barnsley’s maddie heberstahl, francis ishmael francois and debutante danny hall, that’ll be seen on the fight zone network elsewhere.
We see that undefeated kazakhstan sultan azarback will defend his wbo european super featherweight title against dangerous challenger, haitham lamuz, when mtk fight night returns on april 15th, and this show will take place at york hall in london and will be broadcast live in the us on espn Plus, in association with top rank and worldwide on ifl tv, with a british and commonwealth lightweight title fight between gavin guin and luke willis, serving as the main event zarbek, who is now 12-0 with eight knockouts, is back after a successful 2021 winning the vacant wbo european Super featherweight title against ronnie clark last july before defense in december, where he stopped prying real ryan wheeler in six rounds.
He has now one of his toughest tests, yet when he turns his attention to la muse, who’s 17 and one with seven knockouts who, in his last fight won the ebu.
That’S a european union super featherweight title when he traveled italy to defeat local favorite.
Mario alfano, by unanimous decision, mtk global promoter, lee eden, said we wanted a serious test for sultan and he’s definitely got one by facing haytham lemieux he’s the fanta it’ll be a fantastic fight and another great addition to our huge mtk fight night next month.
Sultan has looked very impressive in his ostriches, but hatham will be coming to win and make things very difficult, so we can’t wait to see how things unfold elsewhere.
