[, 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 and today, i’m going to start you off with a little news out of the heavyweight division uh.
One of my favorites – and i hope it gets unclogged soon uh, it’s being uh tipped towards the in favor of the the british fighters.
So here’s some news, uh of an american fighter going down to argentina to try to reclaim some status.
If you will in that division here we go so tomorrow night, on thursday, thursday june 23rd, at the casino buenos aires in buenos aires, argentina, colorful and dangerous former top heavyweight contender, jarrell miller will return to action for the first time in nearly four years to face Argentinian veteran ariel esteban racamonte in a 10-round showdown.
The fight is part of the wba’s two-day ko drugs festival, which will also be broadcast live to south america and parts of the united states on tyc sports.
The undefeated miller is 2301 with 20 knockouts and he hasn’t been in the ring since his knockout over then fellow contender uh bogdan dino, uh to win the wba and aba interim and vacant wbo and n a b o heavyweight championships.
These ladies, are focused on returning to his formerly high ranking in the mate big man’s division.
Uh, the six foot four brooklyn native miller, prepared for his return by sparring hundreds of rounds with fellow prominent heavyweights, including a beneficial stint as a sparring partner for world heavyweight.
Champ tyson fury, i’m saying look out for this guy if he, if he wins down south he’s someone to look out for we don’t have any quotes from him because he’s too busy in the ring practicing his craft uh but uh, dimitri salida out of silly the Promotions says i’m very excited about jerrell’s return to the ring he has matured and refocused to establish himself at the top of the heavyweight division with his special brooklyn spice jarrell is more than ready to answer all the questions.
One fight at a time inside the ring said salida’s partner, greg cohen.
It’S always been a very long.
It’S been a very long time and i’m proud to say that jerrell has made good use of it.
The last two years he’s more focused and dedicated than ever and undoubtedly reinjects some more excitement into the heavyweight division.
It’S time to get back to work, i couldn’t agree more and let’s see what happens uh when we get that result, as i say, they’re fighting tomorrow night.
So we should get that result, possibly as early as friday morning, eastern time, let’s move over to birmingham england uh, where they have a rising prospect in the light heavyweight division by the name of brandon jones fighting soon the east side rooms, it’s called in birmingham and He’Ll be fighting this weekend uh, i believe sunday afternoon and uh.
He reckons he’s strong enough to force the finish with top level sparring supporting his training.
He goes again when bcb promotions return to the eastside rooms as part of the sunday afternoon showdown that’s june 26th.
The brummie from chelmsley wood has shared a training ring with ben whitaker and jamie cox, who vie for major honors in the amateur and pro ranks respectively, whitaker, who is certain to turn pro claimed silver at the last olympic games, while former commonwealth champ cox challenged george Groves for the wba super world title jones has two national accolades from his own amateur career and he’s still under the tutelage of john costello, who coached him when he took up boxing at the age of eight.
So let’s see what happens uh this weekend to young.
Mr jones, all right, let’s uh move over to the copper box arena in london england, because on july 16th, hamza charis is going to take on francisco torres he’s a new middleweight star out of the uk, uh cherise and he’s set to record another prayer first on July 16th, when he tops the bill for the first time at the copper box arena where he takes on francisco torres and that will be shown live on bt sport.
A few british fans.
Chariz shiraz is just 23 years old and introduced himself to the middleweight division.
Back in march, with a resounding defeat of the usually highly competitive jazz smith, who lasted just 38 seconds into the second round, the alfred man who picked up the wbc international silver title for his triumph is being rewarded for his rapid progression with the headlining spot.
At the copper box against an informed argentinian fighter writer for the vacant, wbc silver title – and he says it’s an amazing feeling.
It’S almost it almost feels like i’m in the next of my career, slightly finishing off being a prospect and starting to be somebody who gets recognized seriously in the 160 pound division throughout boxing.
Hopefully with uh maine evening.
I can make a statement and get my name out there, taurus by the way, who’s unbeaten in 10, dating back to early 2018 and achieved a notable result last time out when he shared the spoils with the highly rated world title challenger, jose benavidez jr in phoenix Yeah, listen.
He has a draw with benavidez and he’s beating some top fighters, i’m looking forward to it and he’s coming to win.
His confidence is going to be through the roof, with a draw with benavidez and he will bring his a game i’ll be bringing mine and hopefully i’ll, be too much for him on the night concludes shiraz.
So there we go a little news out of england uh.
