By the way, there are a lot of people who’ve been looking forward to this, because they’ve been following nathan.

Speaking of the big fights upcoming here, we go we’re going to see who said he’s prepared to come to the uk.
For us that would be go to the uk and fight paul butler for the undisputed bantamweight title butler last week said that if anyway he wanted to fight enough, then he should be willing to accept the showdown taking place outside of his native japan.
The wbo champion told talksport that liverpool or london could be ideal venues for a fight with inuit and that the contest should not automatically be in monster’s backyard and now inui, who added the wbc belt to his collection.
After stopping the neither donaire earlier this month said he would accept a fight in the uk.
I don’t have a preference, he knew.
He said i don’t care if we find japan, the us or uk.
I just want to fight him, no matter where it is butler.
By the way won the wbo crown at pro bellum liverpool in in april, before being upgraded to full champion the following month, the british fighters made crystal clear that he wants to face anyway next and isn’t fearful of his punching power.
He said my gym is still in negotiations over the butler fight and uh things are moving in the right direction, although i don’t think the details have been worked out in new economic press conference uh over in tokyo uh back on monday, i haven’t watched his bouts In their entirety, but i can see, he’s talented and an aggressive boxer, so let’s look forward to see if uh that will happen will happen, he obviously doesn’t care if he fights in japan or the uk or the us, as he said all right.
Let’S move on to jesse rodriguez, he signed a long-term uh promotion deal with eddie the matron when this follows all the heels of his uh devastating defeat over uh srikatsura rungs vaisay over the weekend in san antonio now, the 22 year old has put pen to paper And entered into a long-term agreement with eddie vernon matrion the 22 year old phenom was crowned the youngest world champion in the sport in february, when he landed, the wbc strap as a late replacement in san diego against mexican king cuadras and fighting at home.
For the first time in four years, and that victory, coupled with this destruction of thai legend, rang vasa puts bam fairly firmly in the early discussion for fighter of the year.
It’S a bit early and he’s ready to push on and collect more titles.
In the second half of the year he said i’m delighted to sign with eddie and matroom and so excited for the future.
Last night was uh the best night of my career, so far beating a great fighter like from versailles in my hometown, but it’s only the beginning, so much more i can achieve yes, i was so happy because there were a lot of people doubting me before last Night saying i shouldn’t be at 115 pounds and that rung messiah was going to knock me out.
So for me to stop him, that’s a big statement, his box, the very superfly weight and he’s not been stopped since his first two fights.
So that says a lot about me.
I knew i could stop him.
I said so in the build up and so to do it, i’m very happy back’s a bunch.
I knew that and i feel it uh and i was so glad to get him out of there.
We will talk as a team, but i want to keep coming home to san antonio.
I hope everyone that came enjoyed the show.
It means everything to me for my city to show out the plan has been to go to 100 112 pounds and win a title there, but i’m open fighting anyone.
