[, Music, ] hello, boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of knuckle up and mike and cedric.
No.
This is boxing news uh today and uh.
Let’S start off with some news out of mexico: uh roy jones uh junior boxing promotions has been uh putting on tournaments uh for a while.
Now that we’ve been reporting on and uh he’s got one coming up.
These are the uh wbw wcbs uh, four-month lightweight tournament.
These are championship finals now, they’ve been announced so uh for the vacant.
Wbc latino lightweight championship, 10-rounder you’re, going to see luis torres go up against diego al andre.
These are all taking place in sonora mexico.
By the way the co-feature in the lightweight division.
Nate rounder sees brian zhang, going up against jazeera rojas in the uh sixth rounder you’re gon na see marco moreno go up against one lionel lavitola ortega resendez in the lightweight fight pedro bergara, going up against hector, lozano and uh that all takes place.
As i said, uh uh tomorrow, night thursday june 2nd in sonora mexico uh promoted by jj boxing promotions de la oh promotions and world cup boxing series.
That’S the wcbs, uh and that’ll all be streamed by the way on ufc fight pass.
So there’s some interesting news.
As i say, coming out of the snore of mexico, with respect to the light weights that they’ve been promoting quite heavily over the past year, at least, let’s go down under uh for the big gambosis haney fight and some news uh for the.
I wouldn’t call the undercard.
This is going to be an interesting fight as well: jason maloney, the australian favorite uh, his opponent, uh aston, palecte out of the philippines, has arrived now in melbourne, uh, ahead of his clash, as i said, uh with maloney uh.
That’S in a bantamweight division: it’s a ten rounder, okay, and it’s on that on the undercard uh.
Let’S have a quick look here: the wbc silver bantamweight title and the wbo international bantamweight title will both be on the line in the plyte maloney fight, polite who’s, 28 and four, and one with 23 knockouts he’s fighting out of bago city in the philippines and he’s Feeling pretty confident about his preparation of the fight having you, united, long-time trainer, nono neri uh to train at the mp gym, probably manny pacquiao jim in davio city in the philippines.
Polite won all of his ballots under nary uh, a 10 fight winning streak from 2013 to 2015.
.
He had this to say, i’m very thankful for this big opponent opponent.
This is a good opponent.
For me, i’ve won this fight for a long time.
I’M 100, i’m in one percent condition: um polite is a two-time world title challenger and has won three straight fights prior to becoming a top contender in the pros.
Polecte was one of the philippines top amateurs representing his country at the 28 iaba youth world championships in mexico and earning a bronze of 2010 china open in china.
Maloney is 23-2 18 knockouts hails from nearby mitchum victoria, australia and he’s coming off.
Two straight wins since losing his second attempt at a world title.
Polite hopes, a win over maloney leads to another shot at a world title but says he isn’t looking past maloney in addition to neri, palite is also accompanied by his manager jason soon and assistant trainer ryan sangalia.
So that looks to be a really good battle at shaping up prior to the big cambosis haney clash.
Let’S move over to uh florida united states, where we’re going to see trevor bryan go toe-to-toe against daniel dubois, big heavyweight clash coming up june 11th, and this is what uh quite funnily – and i thought anyway, trevor bryant had to say – and i believe this is uh.
Potentially a tweet, daniel dubois is a strong fighter.
He says brian.
He has fought some good guys, but i am on a different level.
You saw that when he came up against some good opposition he quit gave up already.
So, let’s see what the article has to say: wba heavyweight champion trevor bryan has labeled his forthcoming opponent, daniel dubois as a quitter, who will be out of his depth when he challenges for the title on june 11th over in florida.
The unbeaten brian, however, does acknowledge the threat posed by the young knockout artist dubois and admits it presents a significant threat to his 22-fight professional winning streak.
Trevor bryan was talking uh to dev assani for the unibat lowdown show here you can on boxing 247.
You can watch the full interview via youtube, but he did have this to say.
I fight like every fight is my last fight.
I’M gon na give it my heart, my soul, my every inch every bit of strength.
I have in this upcoming fight on june 11th because even with the heavyweights, this career doesn’t last long every opportunity i do get with names like daniel dubois and fighters.
After this, you want to fight your hardest and show everybody.
You have heart and show everybody your skills are going to carry you along so yeah.
I am treating this like.
This is my last fight.
Daniel dubois is a strong fighter.
He has fought some good guys, but i’m on a different level.
You saw that when he came up against some good opposition he quit he gave up uh you don’t quit, you don’t give up.
He continues.
I would rather go out on my own shield, he’s an okay guy, but he’s gon na going in against the nightmare.
I will be a nightmare for him and not the fight that he wants.
Maybe he should have went back and tried to reverse the loss he had against joe joyce before he came to the champion now that he said he wants the champion.
He begged for this fight, and now he has it, he has it and now he has to pay for it.
I’M not the type of fighter where you can step into the ring and think you can walk all over me.
I’M not heavyweight champ for no reason, not on june 11th, i’m going to show everybody that i am a name that you’re supposed to respect.
I am that man who’s going to be sticking around for a long time in the sport i’m taking over.
So, on june 11th, you guys are going to see what trevor bryant the dream is all about.
So, as i say, uh june 11th wbh heavyweight championship on the line and it’s going to be on the fans in the uk live on bt sport over at the elevations event center in chester, pennsylvania, united states on july 16th.
Um, there’s going to be a big show: it’s going to be the price promotions, 2022, debut event, um.
So on june 14th they’re having a press conference, the press conference will take place uh at the d boys boxing center.
That’S in turnsville, new jersey and it’ll feature main event rising star dylan, the real bill price 14-0, 10 knockouts and a resident of virginia drew donnell, sorry drew cornell 10 and two six knockouts in a 12 round vote for the nba bantamweight title cornell who’s now competing At the banner weight limit of 118 pounds and stands a towering 5 foot 10 and is also southpaw and figures to be among the price’s toughest opponents.
Dylan price is expected, but is excited about the opportunity and to have an actual press conference is looking to have all its supporters as well as his detractors attend his debut press conference fair enough.
So we’ll see what happens.
We’Re expecting more news.
Obviously, out of the boys down the price promotions, um and we’ll see what the results of that fight will be.

Here’S what roman had to say ahead of his showdown this saturday, i’m up against a very skilled fighter who doesn’t have many flaws, but every man has his weaknesses and i’m going to exploit fulton’s.
