[, 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, i’m going to start the show off with a little bit of upcoming news.
I usually start off with the results of the the weekend’s fights, but we’re going to start off with a little bit of news related to uh jeremiel charlo, going toe tour games.
Brian castano uh this upcoming weekend.
It’S a to the undisputed super welterweight world championship, unification, fight, uh, but um of note, uh on talk and fight.
If i might interject a little bit here, uh on talk and fight, we had kurt johnson on the friday night panel and he’s the cousin of custo clayton who’ll, be on the undercard of this fight, fighting brute’s ennis.
I just thought: i’d mention that quickly, because it rarely hits the headlines that that we actually have guests who talk about this stuff in person and how they know these fighters specifically and their strengths and weaknesses.
And what they’re, looking forward to seeing so check that out.
The friday night panel that took place a few days ago, um in another, actually speaking of talking fake news uh.
Did you hear that great history lesson lou eisen gave us fantastic stuff, i mean and not news uh, but the show itself is news.
It’S a new show and uh lou eisen eisen’s doing a great job of relating great history and controversies in in boxing anyway uh good stuff uh.
Anyway.
Let me continue here uh speaking of talking fight.
We had that maureen shea featured on talk and fight a while back interviewed by our own scarlet delgado anyway.
Now that she has beaten, uh, calista, silgado uh on the weekend uh.
She now wants her title shot.
Let’S read the story: maureen shea ended a two plus year, layoff saturday night outclassing out boxing calista salgado to unanimous decision victory at karnaseka arena in st john’s university in jamaica, new york, wow, fantastic stuff, the the scores were 79.
73 on two cards in 77.
75 and third, Although shea who’s now 32 and 1 13 knockouts, who continues her push for a world title opportunity, the real million-dollar baby shay as she likes to call herself looked as sharp as ever, because she was the uh.
Unless she, if you will the uh the teacher of uh the million dollar baby actress, i forget her name anyway, despite having not fought since january of 2020 and uh silgado who’s 1914 and three of fourteen knockouts have rone had her motes early on, but it was Shea’S body punching and sublime defensive skills, which made the difference in this fight.
The victory was made even sweeter for the bronx native shea because she was fighting in new york city for the first time since 2010.
, i felt great.
She said.
I felt that this is where i belonged.
I felt at home in the ring.
Uh said the former two-time boxing champions.
She says she wants a world title opportunity after being unjustly denied won last year by the wba.
Despite being the number two ranked contender for the vacant, bantamweight white title, these other girls can’t deny me the sanctioning bodies can’t deny me the public is going to want to see me who doesn’t want to see that style and that kind of fight you’ll be doing The fans a big disservice.
I deserve a title: shots at shea who’s now, based in boca raton florida, where she trains with boxing coach, derek santos and strength.
Conditioning coach, phil daru among the many shea supporters in attendance were undisputed.
Women’S super middleweight champ franchine cruz de cerne, who had designed shae’s ring attire for the fight.
I must say that must be colorful uh cruises earned says she believes shea has all the tools and dedication to become a world champion again.
Ted maureen is such an intricate part of women’s boxing.
She’S broken a lot of barriers, she’s putting a lot of time, she’s, just an amazing boxer and i’m honored to get to work with her shea hopes to be back in the ring again within three months and let’s see where that ends up, because when uh scarlett Delgado of talking fight talked with mauricio way back when i thought, based on that talk that she had not given up not retired but wasn’t fighting uh professionally anymore, but it seems like she’s back in the ring and wants that title shot quite seriously.
So, let’s see what happens going down the road speaking of titles over we go to england, wolverhampton’s kirsty babington was crowned ebu european welterweight champion on friday evening.
The 29 year old defeated hungarian tamiya bellic.
The unanimous decision to claim the vacant european title on bcb promotion show at the hangar in her hometown, i’m buzzing.
She said after this is for all the people who said you can’t do anything with your life, i’m here now as a european champion.
What a quote! I was trying my best to stop bellic but fair play.
She stood with me and made it a hell of a fight, uh boxed the two order, threats and showed her engine as she maintained phonetic pace for the entire ten rounds.
Whilst bellick went into the belt with a more tight with more title experience, it was bavington who controlled the pace and flow of the fight to claim the victory.
The three ringside judges scored the contest 190 99.
91 99.
92 to the local loss who claimed the vacant, strap we’re so proud of kirsty and the whole gym out of the head trainer paul mann.
It just shows that hard work and dedication pays off bullseye all right, good stuff uh.
There were some other fights that night uh.
There were point wins for former midlands uh area, welterweight, champ, uh, connor walker cannot super welterweight.
Ollie cooper will rob the welterweight jermaine uh osborne edwards.
When his field went middleweight alex raised a round and exeter welterweight, shannon wiley there.
We go some great pictures by the way on the side of that fight, courtesy of our friends over pcb promotions, spring of champs and uh fights upcoming.
We see that daniel dubois will challenge trevor bryant for the wba regular world title on june 11th in miami, and you can catch that heavyweight action on bt sports.
If you’re in the uk wba number one ranked dubois who’s 17-1 with 16 knockouts heads stateside for his breakthrough, fight against the unbeaten new yorker uh brian who’s 22-0, with 15 knockouts with the pair set the fight for the right to be made mandatory to the full Wba champion alexander youssef, depending on the outcome of his forthcoming rematch against anthony joshua bryan is 20 at 32 years of age, won the belt via 11th round stoppage of burmain steven and has navigated a single defense against jonathan gudry last time out in january with success.
Cutting the split decision on the cards, dubois is just 24 years of age will be having his second fight across the atlantic after introducing himself to the american market.
With a typical first round stoppage of joe cusamano last august, he previously won the wba interim belt with a second round demolition of bogdan denu in telford uh, great story in in tougher by the way, liam davies, who’s, 11 low, five knockouts will challenge new champion mark Leach who’s 18, one on one with four knockouts for the super bantamweight title in his hometown, good stuff.
