Let’S start off with a quick little story out of uh lancashire: um [, Music, ], a fight in aid of prostate cancer.
Quite frankly, i assume prostate cancer research and or treatment we have on friday april, the 8th, which would be tomorrow, rhys mold versus patrick of klein, taking place at the winter gardens in blackpool england.
It’S uh near preston on the coast in lancashire.

Famous winter gardens reeves was pushing wood hard in a close british featherweight title fight last february before losing in the ninth round.
Five months later, wood ripped the wba championship from kanju last month knocked out michael conlon and now one of the greatest classes, one of the greatest fights ever seen in the british ring mold said i challenged lee in my 14th professional fight and i’ve not lost anything From that, i know that it was a blemish on my record, but it just shows what i did in the fight, because he is now a world champion and a good one going into that ninth round.
I was two rounds up even with being knocked down in the fourth round.
What lee has gone on and achieved has helped me a lot, and i know how well i did that night.
I did a lot better than most thought.
I would do if i win the commonwealth title.
People will wonder if i’m going to get a rematch, but he has moved on to bigger and better things.
He is looking at big money, fights like josh warrington in unification or a conlan rematch.
He will be done by the time i get up there.
Mold had hoped for uh bach commonwealth super featherweight titled lemonade in blackpool.
He had been matched against gone as patrick o’kind, but the british boxing border control have currently suspended boxers from the african nation, the commonwealth com, the commonwealth championship is currently held by molds vip stablemate zelfa barrett, but he recently won a world title eliminator and has a European championship fight lined up rhys, who expects the manchester man to relinquish his commonwealth.
Title has been sparring with warrington and maxie hughes mold added it’s disappointing, but i think steve wood will make sure i’m in place to fight for the commonwealth title in the near future.
He has promised me a big fight very soon.
Seeing josh and maxie do so well, helps me and when you see the size of the purse bid for leads against conlon, it drives me on even more i’ll bet.
It does um vip boxing head steve wood added leewood’s performances in his subsequent fights show just how well rhys did with so few fights.
With more experience.
Who knows what might have happened, we’re all gutted that the commonwealth eliminator fell apart, but once rhys gets friday’s fight out of the way, we’ll just push him towards a bigger fight, so also on the on the bill um also on the bill super lightweight’s jacob roll.

My training camp has been great and we now have the most important weeks of training leading up to the fight in las vegas machado by the way has won seven of his last eight fights with juan draw, so that will be a good card indeed elsewhere.
Let’S move on to montreal, where group yvonne michelle held a virtual press conference the other day uh to announce the next installment of its popular boxing series co-promoted by gym and pro bellum presented by mizo zhu on thursday evening may 5th to be held at the cabaret.

His talent is undeniable and, with his new team he’s even more motivated than ever to get back up to the top.
The young, veteran matthieu germaine showed a lot of resources and determination, overcoming the consequences of covet and a cut in the right eye to knock out his opponent, eric angula on march 11th, in the eighth and last round he said i’ve never suffered cuts in my career, But it really didn’t bother me.
The important thing is i had my many supporters.
I had quite a show that evening.
I intend to impress them again on may 5th.
The popular muslim actinis will fight his third fight since last december, and he asks for more.
He said i am ready to fight every month, if i’m, given the chance, may 5th will be cinco de mayo, the mexican holiday, and i tend to fight like a mexican and raise my supporters, who will be numerous at the casino and quite a charismatic character.
He is all right: uh tickets are on sale and that should be a good fight over in montreal for sure soon to be really picking up steam, uh, that’s about a six hour drive and might presently live, and maybe i’ll get up to that show alrighty onwards.
We go to rome, italy, where local hero, merco who’s, 1701 and azania byfield 1541 from the united kingdom, will square off for the vacant.
Yubio world welterweight title on may 7th at the palo boxe arielo santoro in rome, italy, a pro since 2015, 30 year old geographo won the italian middleweight title in 2018, stopping dominico spada who’s 43-6 and added the wba international title the following year with a decision over Mexican abraham ramirez who’s, 14 and 2.
in his most recent outing last june, he beat brazilian paulo goldino 10 on 3 to capture the ibf latino title at welterweight and now he’s ready to take the next step and go for the world honors in this division.
Nicknamed ghost, i hope i pronounced that right.
Assinia byfield 32 entered the paid code a few weeks before geography and has only lost to strong opposition in arthur herman 16 and 2 ted cheeseman, 14-0 ishmael iliad 12-2 and one and dimitro mitrofanoff 9-0-1 and every time over.
The full distance by field to gate crash the wild scene and to make a name for himself and with plenty of time to prepare for the fight, is expected to come in optimal shape, preceded by a well-matched undercard featuring local talents, geographical versus byfield for the newbio Multiweight title will headline a show promoted by mg boxing, i’m sure that’s not morris garage either alrighty hope we go to uh philadelphia for an event taking place at the parks casino.
On may 13th carl wiley, a lightweight fighter out of coatesville pennsylvania, has an interesting story.
He’S a former golden gloves winner and he’ll, be making his professional boxing debut, as i said at the parks casino, that’s in philadelphia on friday may 13th.
Hopefully that will be a lucky day for him.
He said boxing is the only thing i could get up and do every day and not complain about, and it’s terrible because of what you put you put your body through, you said wiley.
I could do this and not complain about it with a passion for boxing and the competitiveness that comes with it.
The road to get in the ring was not easy for wiley.
There are no gyms where he comes from in coatesville and he had to travel over 45 minutes to an hour to reading lancaster or phoenixville just to train.
He had success in the 2014 golden gloves, making it to the national tournament when he wanted to go pro.
Yet problems kept adding up for him.
He had terrible luck with his car breaking down and that really hinted him getting to the gym every day.
Obviously, unless he was walking or running, he knows how important consistent he is because without it he would just be an average fighter.
He never let himself get out of shape, as he would always be.
Hitting the pavement run, wow, there’s irony he’d.
Never let himself get out of shape, as he would always be, hitting the pavement running and getting in those miles.
During those runs, he felt the support from his friends and family when running.
He was sure to get uh five to ten people, giving him supportive beeps on the horn.
Boxing is a lonely sport, but the support from his family and friends is what kept him going and keeps him still working to make his professional debut.
Even after a five-year gap between fights, quick little quote from uh wiley here about uh, you know how does he feel about making his debut so close to home? It’S exciting and bittersweet, because my first amateur fight was actually in my city of coatesville, the energy and the atmosphere was ridiculous.
I burnt out like halfway through the fight, because i was fighting so much up energy and adrenaline.
I wasn’t breathing and when i finally stopped to take a deep breath, i didn’t i didn’t think i was gon na make it.
But that was a long time ago and i’m anxious and everybody’s really excited and it’s going to be amazing.
What a fantastic story! Uh good stuff, again out of philadelphia, another city with a great history of boxing and we’re our own tim witherspoon, hails from who’s with us on the friday night panel, as you all know, uh well, thank you very much for joining me again on talk and fight.
