I’M going to continue my to i’m king.
Let me restart that i’m going to continue to break barriers on may 14th, it’s a once in a lifetime event and i’m a once-in-a-lifetime fighter.
There’S no one else in the sport who could headline an event over this over the top i’m going to give fans what they paid for by the way, while in nicaragua i’m sorry, while in nigeria, mayweather expressed his goal of setting up a boxing academy in the Country and met with rotimi amichi, a presidential hopeful there upon arriving in dubai mayweather, was spotted at the kamani club for final workouts ahead of fight night, as he met with fighters, including two division, world champ, badu jack, who fights on saturday’s, undercard and cruiserweight champion lawrence Ikoli prior to leaving the u.
s mayweather had returned to his hallowed stomping grounds from throughout much of his record-breaking career.
The mayweather boxing club in las vegas, for example, uh still attracting a strong crowd during his legendary workout sessions.
The latest addition to mayweather’s training entourage was his two-year-old grandson kj, who brought mayweather new joy amongst another camp.
It was business as usual said mayweather.
It always feels good to be in the ring and around familiar faces in the boxing gym.
I spent so much of my life in the gym, so i always feel comfortable getting back into it.
Training for any fight – and even this exhibition is something i always want to do.
No one ever saw me take a day off during my career.
Why would i start now fair enough by the way, as we all know, mayweather sports, a 50-0 record, and we look forward to seeing the result of tomorrow night’s bite as well as, as i said, uh the undercard and those results as well.
Let’S move along to the boxer series taking place over the uk uh olympic, let’s see featuring olympic heavyweight fraser clark, eight boxers taking part in saturday night boxer series in manchester cruiserweights tournament, convened in manchester today for a live random, draw to determine the four quarterfinal matches Which will open the event starts up.
As i said, with olympic heavyweight hero in uk, you fraser clark, who was on hand to undertake the draw uh, which was streamed, live by sky sports.
Go figure dipping his heavy hands into the sea of names eight times with every boxer then matched the resulting four quarter.
Final matches are below and i’ll read them off in a second and the tournament airs live on sky sports action, uh, 7 p.
m.
Uk time this saturday evening, with the largest pot of tournament prize money bridge boxing history on the line very interesting, quarterfinal number one features: alice: zorro 11-0 undefeated with six knockouts versus jay farrell sporting, a 9-2 record with five knockouts of his own, the two most experienced Fighters in the tournament will face off in the very first round al soro walks into this tournament, undefeated in 11 fights but j fowler can boast the same number of professional fights, but his suffers and losses all beat at a higher level than zoro who fought in The case of the central area title fight now, jamie smith, will go toe-to-toe against jacques fay.
A hugely successful amateur and rapidly rising professional jamie smith has emerged as a potential favorite to take the victory.
In this edition of the boxer series, he’s three and oh two knockouts by the way jack bay comes into this tournament, having already had uh to fight homelessness in his last two years, wow as well as the two opponents he’s faced as a professional.
In that time, an aggressive power puncher, he doesn’t mind trading blows with his opponent, he’s one oh and one by the way.
In the third quarter, final fight, we’re going to see ricky reeves go to against anistaj uh reeves is two uh two and oh with one.
Knockout taj is five and one with four knockouts, and this is a matchup between a former sprinter and now teacher and someone who holds all the necessary qualifications to be a lawyer.
Uh told intrigue before first spell is wrong.
Ricky reese is a solid, all-round boxer has already shown his ability to fight at long in close range in his professional career.
That currently has lasted only two bouts, as i said, both wins with one knockout taj has managed to notch up six contests in his professional career, following on from serious success as an amateur that almost took him to the olympics.
To represent pakistan, he’s a high speed, high work rate fighter that could potentially thrive on the three-round format of the fights in the boxer series, where sheer output can have a huge impact who takes away a victory in these shorter fights and then the final uh of The quarterfinals we’re going to see sheldon mcdonald who’s three and oh with one knockout, go up against ryan cotterell who’s, wan na know, mcdonald turned professional in boxing because former cruiserweight world champion john nelson saw him training and told him.
He was good enough.
That kind of support should give him all his self belief needed on saturday night and he has given him the self political take victory in all three professionals fights so far, mcdonald’s a piston like jab and follows it smartly, with threating right hands, have damaged all the Opponents he’s faced ryan calderon comes into this tournament with the least professional experience, having only had a single professional fight in his career so far, which only lasted a single round but, as i said, he won, carl is also the youngest in the tournament.
However, he’s been boxing for over 16 years and has had the same trainer who guided him multiple amateur championships before turning professional for around 10 years.
Caughterell has a pressuring style and isn’t afraid to work the body as well as the head.
You might be looking to bring this fight to a slightly closer range than mcdonald’s might want it.
