[, Music, ] hello, there boxing fans around the world thanks 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 something a little left of center, something that i don’t usually do, but I’Ll make a comment on the josh taylor situation.
Uh josh taylor, as you know, was stripped of his uh title by the wba uh, who are today uh talking to their top six contenders to find an appropriate solution.
Uh josh taylor, basically who’s fighting currently or was fighting at 140 pounds he’s looking to move up to 147.
uh.
What’S that super lightweight division, i think, and the point matter is – is uh.
He uh because he’s looking to move up he’s not really seriously interested in uh their number one contender at wpa level, which is uh, please what’s his name? Okay, he is their number one contender and uh, so josh taylor basically didn’t want to negotiate for that fight, which i think was being offered at him for a hundred thousand bucks roughly around there.
So i mean you’ve got alberta: puello ishmael, barrasso, hara, davis, sandor martin reaches progress and batter at the meow.
Realistically regis progress may be the top of that group of talent if you want, but the one name that jumps out.
That surprises me that they’ve left off in that conversation is jack cadrell.
As you know, jack carroll and josh taylor went toe-to-toe, it’s a hard-fought battle and the decision was given to josh taylor.
So i was kind of surprised to see when the list came out as to who would be meeting with the wba uh to find their solution uh that jack cattle was not mentioned.
I just want to read a quick little quote here: each team will have 15 minutes today.
Each team will have 15 minutes to present its case with no time extension.
The panel will then have five minutes after each presentation to ask questions and, after time, deliberation on each case.
We’Ll present its opinion to president mendoza, who have the final decision kind of a weird way of working around a solution.
But anyway, that’s the wba and that’s the update on josh taylor, who we look forward to fighting 147.
elsewhere in the world.
Let’S have a quick look here at uh york, hall, london, england, on the 20th of may that’s uh this friday.
I believe broad brad foster reckons he could be up against the best super bantamweight in europe on friday when he takes on ionet baluta with the wbc international title at stake, so foster returns to york called scene of his memorable double header against lucian reed bidding to Get back at the winning track after departing uh versus british commonwealth of ibf international baltimore’s challenge for the european title, held by jason cunningham in october of last year, despite firmly believing he should now be traveling on four ballots.
Foster was denied on the cards and now gets ready to jump straight back into deep band against madrid-based romanian, who was a genuine force with previous uh in upsetting the whole favor he’s a very good fighter, probably the best in europe.
To be honest, assassin foster who says he gave no thought in returning to the fighting fold with an eight-round workout now, because that is easy, isn’t it it was easy to do an eight-rounder and just beat up some i’d rather have a fight.
That actually means something and take a bit of a risk.
That’S how you get recognized in this game, taking risks so now.
Incredibly, if you want so young at the age of 24, foster is entering into his ninth street title plate with five of them being a full 12 round distance, and he now goes over uh a 10 rounder against baludat and promises a proper battle at bethnal, green And that’s a your call in london, alright speaking of london, at the o2 arena a day later, craig craig richards is going to take on joshua bowati.
I mentioned this yesterday and offered a few quotes from bowati.
So now it’s craig ridge’s turn richards, 17 and 2.
With 10 knockouts is hunting down.
Another crack at the wba belt he’s already boxed four and he bounced back from slender defeat to champion dimitri vivo.
A year ago by stopping america, india’s in the arena uh go to arena in october to land the vacant.
Wva international belt spider knows that, while he’s boxed for a world title, this could be a big night at that event, with his fellow south londoner touted as world champion in waiting since turning pro with eddie hearn after landing olympic bronze in 2016.
.
That would be richard concedes that his opponent uh has a pedigree uh, but he’s done the harder yards in the paid ranks to date, and that will be the difference on the night.
He said it’s an exciting fight.
He’S been talked about as being the guy in the division, but i believe i’ve earned my place as the guy in the division.
People base that for him off speculation, and for me off my wins.
The talking is over now and we’ll see who’s number one.
He did well as an amateur around the world and in the olympics.
You can’t argue with that.
Are those skills transferable to the pros he was tipped to be one of the fighters.
That’S cropped in the olympics to do the big things as a professional i’ve jumped to the deep waters and i’ve prove myself.
I’Ve been the underdog time and time again we’re yet to see that from josh there hasn’t been a fight he’s been in that anyone said this is a 50 50 fight.
I think josh could lose this fight talking about who has a better cv, he’s unbeaten, but i’ve had the hard fights he’s had the answer.
Pedigree and he’s been guided into a safer journey.
He’S earned that right of course, but with me i’ve had to jump right in sink or swim and he’s played a safe, but the safety cap is off now all right.
So we look forward to that.
Uh result, as i said, that fight taking place this saturday in london, uh split t management, uh sent a note regarding four of their fighters, who they’re pretty proud of over this past weekend, who had uh knockouts, and they wanted me to make mention of these names.
So i will, on friday night, as we all know, sonny canto, not that why we know, because he was featured as the knockout of the week award given out by cedric ben and mike core this past sunday anyway, on friday night sonny canto remained undefeated with a Third round stoppage over justin rolfe in a scheduled six-rounder in their heavyweight bout in front of a packed crowd in the parks casino in bensale and pennsylvania qanto by the way is promoted by top rank.
Also on friday night in sacramento, junior lightweight, kevin montano stopped veteran corbin page in the opening round of their scheduled.
Four-Rounder montana is now 3-0.
With two knockouts saturday night in new york, new jersey, brian cavallo, remind remained undefeated with a six-round stoppage over at gerald shirelle caballo, who was making his 2022 debut took apart cherelle, who appeared on the latest edition of the contender.
I finished him off with a two minutes ten seconds in round six of their scheduled.
Eight rounder, with the win the new york native, raises his mark to 13-0, with seven knockouts cabela by the way is promoted by 360 promotions on that same card at the robert street, hotel welterweight cashad elliott scored his second consecutive knockout when he took out trey martin In round number one elliott battered martin until the bet was stopped at 2 minutes 53 seconds and the plainsfield new jersey native is now 2-0 with two knockouts uh good for him all righty congrats to those split team management group before and i look forward to seeing More from them elsewhere, over milan italy, we saw a fight on friday night at the alliance cloud uh featuring giovanno de colores against danielle scardina, former wba world super middleweight champion giovanni de dominated wbo, intercontinental champion danielle scardini for five rounds of the alliance cloud in milan.
Italy in front of 5 000 fans with about a thousand of them coming from rome to support de carlos.
It was promoted by opie since uh 82 and matching design streamed the show live um the carlos attacks gardenia from the beginning, won every round drops guardians at the end of the fourth round and dropped him again.
The start of the fifth, the referee, had no choice but to stop the action.
Now the carolus moved to 31 10 and one with 15 knockouts while scardini goes to 20 and one with 16 knockouts scardini was number 10, the wbo rankings, and now that position should go to de carlos good stuff in, in the main, supporting bout european supervantage champion.
Mary romero defeated upon points maria ketchi.
The fight was disappointing for the two competitors.
As for the fans with a lot of rough action, including a headbutt by chucky, another action on that card welterweight louis romero, who’s from venezuela is now 11 5-1.
He defeated in seven rounds, maxine prodon from ukraine who’s now, 1921.
cruiserweight oronzo bharati defeated on points of voodoo inachi, middleweight joshua niminiv, get out on points.
Gabor, gobrix and debuting super middleweight, danielle reggie beat by technical, knockout, luca good stuff going on uh in italy.
All right, but now taking uh a place in turkey.
In istanbul, we saw the frenchman, murad ali of gotoh against marco tintor.
At 26 years of age, morad ali have moved to 4-0 with two knockouts as a professional with a second round stoppage of murko.
Tintour is now 16 6-1, with nine knockouts elliot floored his rival twice before a third round.
A third knocked down forced the referee to step in and call the contest off with less than a minute remaining uh in the round ali of nina’s, known as the white wolf has now fought four times in seven months, and his contest in turkey was a scheduled.
Eight rounder by the end of his first year’s pro elliot will expect, will expect to be well ranked in the sanctioning bodies, uh ready for a title shot next year in 2023.
, good for him on saturday.
As you all know, on june 11th, a special performance uh down in atlanta at the center stage featuring one of my favorite uh boxers avril mathy, and it’s just been announced that uh as part of this night of boxing we’re going to see an awful lot of Rapping as well kind of sounds like a trailer event, quite frankly, anyway, they’re going to honor a a rapper um, a fellow by the name of king vaughan, devon, the khan bennett who lost his life to gun violence back in 2020.
And this will be a tribute and there’ll be numerous rappers uh at this event and uh they’ll be presenting.
Let’S have a look.
Boxing royalty will be present, remembering king vaughn, gloves up and guns down.
The show is permanent is promoted by prestige, boxing advisory group and associated with bfc the last round promotions.
I’Ve mentioned all these names before who’ll be fighting on this fight but, as i said, uh i’m looking forward to seeing the outcome of avril matthew and when i saw uh that we had a new press release, curse of our friends, workbox and 247 come on uh In front of my computer here, i thought it was going to be announcing.
Finally, who avril mathy would be fighting, but still her uh opponent is to be determined uh as avro matthews fighting out of uh miami courtesy of our native australia, currently has a 701 record and uh and is looking to extend her knockout streak anyway, uh onwards and Upwards, sunny edwards is check this out.
One billion percent serious about challenging new world bantamweight champion paul butler.
I, for one, have not heard that before anyone being 100, 1 billion.
Sorry but edwards, the unbeaten flyweight title holder, doesn’t believe butler would accept the fight, even though showtime would be moving up two weight divisions to make it happen.
Edward said, if i was paul butler i’d stay every possible mile in the world away from me.
Butler has been elevated to full wbo world bantamweight champion after john riel.
Casimiro was stripped of the belt having contravened weight and making rules uh in the build-up to his pro-balance liverpool fight jonas sultan stepped in as a replacement, but found bitler butler in the form of his career, as the ellsmere port fighter was one convincingly on point to Take the end of the title so in a post on social media last week, edwards threw his hat into the ring to be the opponent for butler’s.
First defense of his wbo crown and the 26 year old has doubled down on his challenge to the new champion.
Yet the ibf king at 112, pounds is not convinced butler and his team would be prepared to risk the title in the fight with him.
He said, and i quote, i am one billion percent serious about fighting paul butler.
I don’t say things that don’t mean not in boxing not in my private life.
It’S a fight, i’d be 100 percent.
Confident with it would be an inter-pro balance fight, it would be an all-british world title fight, but i really couldn’t see it happening.
If i’m honest, because if i was paul butler i’d, stay every possible mile in this world away from me – and i think that would be the response – i think paul’s coach joe gallagher – is probably much smarter than that as well.
But it’s a fight that i would like, and it was never really on my radar until a few months ago, when i got dragged into a back end back and forth on twitter with his dad but paul’s a good fighter.
Don’T get confused uh edwards by the way has described butler’s victory over saltmaster as a good one, but he believes he’ll be too much for the bantamweight title holder for me.
Edwards concludes.
There are two levels to boxing: it’s a fight that allowed me to prove my mindset that i’m willing to go up and down in weights to where the fight makes sense.
Well, good luck to bro bellam on that one.
Let’S see what happens all right, auntie yard! Speaking of speakers, anthony yard said he’s looking to destroy the winner out of the unification battle between joe smith junior and arthur b bioff that takes place in june in a week where he celebrates clocking up seven years as a professional boxer uh.
The two light heavyweight champs put their wbo, wbc and ibf belts on the line on june 18th in new york and yard, is planning traveling over to madison square garden to size up the part, the opposition for his challenge that should come around later this year.
I’M going to keep a close eye on it when they fight each other and i’ll, be looking to destroy the winner, stated yard, who feels his previous world title shot will stand in a good stead.
I definitely feel in a better place.
The reason i feel a better place is because i’ve gained more experience and i’ve been at that level before, i would say, there’s not much pressure, but there’s always going to be pressure.
I’Ve got the experience and with that said, i feel like i know.
I know now what i need to do.
The only reason there’s no regrets when sitting down with deb sunny on the unibet lowdown to lock back to look back on his seven years as a professional boxer.
You can see the entire interview with him and what yard has to say regarding his next chapter or how he sees his next chapter in his fight career evolving, because he’s had his ups and downs uh prior to coven during covet it’ll be interesting to see where Anthonyard finishes up after that battle takes place in june, all right final story of the day.
