com, and for the first time in over 200 episodes, I’m going to start off With something completely different, the headline says four lessons poker can teach boxers.
I can only read this.
This is it’s it’s good, but it requires reading my apologies.
The first thing that comes to mind when people think of boxing is probably Fearless Fighters battling each other in a ring with sweat, blood and bruises wow.
This might be true at first glance, boxers also spent time developing their minds to overcome mental barriers.
It may surprise you to find out that there are some similarities between battling in a ring and engaging in a powder in a poke table, although both Sports make use of vastly different skills at the end of the day, they require the same thing.
Mental toughness read on to learn about some of the lessons boxers can learn from playing poker.
Here we go number one poker.
Teaches you how to develop patience, fair enough number, two poker teaches the value of practice, and I guess that might fit into the category of practice makes perfect by the way there are uh astounding paragraphs that follow each one of these sub headlines.
I encourage you to visit boxing247.
com and fully read the extent of these lessons.
Number three poker teaches mental fortitude.
Number four Pete poker teaches the importance of networking.
I am going to read this paragraph.
Thanks to the internet, more than 100 million people worldwide play poker.
Building a strong Network in poker means you can stay updated on all the big events, news and players.
In the same way, boxers need a strong Network to speak to their fans, gain higher approval ratings, sell tickets and connect with the millions of sports enthusiasts watching boxing connecting to fans on social media like Facebook or Twitter can increase of boxers or poker players.
Chances of gaining steps and selling tickets, making them more visible on the boxing circuit.
This is even more important for pledgling boxers, as they navigate small Hall shows in the infancy of their careers and conclude boxing and poker are two sports that attract millions of enthusiasts around the world.
Although they may seem different, the classic Card Game can teach boxers a skill or two that they can apply to their own sports.
After all, most athletes and players are in it to win great insights.
All right.
Let’S move along to uh big fight.
Coming up this weekend, Joe Joyce versus Christian hammer uh my money’s on Joe Joyce um, the fighting cast is set for Saturday’s high stakes card at the OBO Arena gathered today at Wembley.

The questions and a selection of quotes from the media are posted here on this site.
Boxing247.
Com, and I will ignore Frank Warren.
I will go direct to Joe Joyce he’s had a great training cramp camp yada, I’m not going to put any pressure on myself by predicting rounds.
It could go the distance or I could take him out.
He’S a strong guy and I’ve seen him throw some big shots.
It is a risky fight because I’ve got something they all want.
In my experience, things don’t always happen as you plan.
So when I’m in training I just get myself into the best place to improve.
Obviously I Was preparing for Parker, but I just made the adjustments and I have the experience to deliver myself to Victory on Saturday night, to which Christian Hammer responded.
It’S my fourth time here and I’m really happy to get the chance to fight with Joyce.
I’M really looking forward to it, I’m feeling very well and I’m in good shape.
This is a big chance for me and I will give everything I haven’t come here only for travel last time against Sanchez.
I received the contract only a few days before I was there on holiday.
They asked me a fight and I took a chance for this fight.
I prepared really well, and I want to show everyone, a good fight going back to that betting comment.
Maybe uh, Maybe Christian Hammer, has a chance all right, uh.
Let me quick read here on what Jason Cunningham had to say: it’s a very big fight for him.
It’S the next level it’s Mom will.
Quite with respect to.
I always thought in the past he’s an intrigued people questioning what Solani is going to turn up um we’ll find out on Saturday night, and I’m excited myself ready to prepare to put everything online.
I please make time I’m on the run of my life and he doesn’t want to underestimate us to make me Solana, tete grisport said I’m definitely looking to chop Jason down, I’m not going to take anything away from him as he has worked his way up.
I fought the best fighters in the world and I believe Jason is on his way up to this level I’m sharper and stronger than I’ve ever been.
I can’t wait for the fight to show you again to show you this against Jason Cunningham.
I’Ve got more power than I have ever had wow some great quotes, and you can find out a few more things that were said at that press conference.
As I said, taking place over your Arena, Wembley uh and the fight is July, 2nd, which will be in roughly 24 hours alrighty.
Let’S move along to Australia, Australian Mayhem, Jason Maloney has landed himself, but the number one spot in the latest World Boxing Council and World Boxing organizations rates so WBC and WBO with the hope of a world title shot being imminent in recent times.
A former foe Maloney the pound for pound, star Naya anui, put on a master class performance against the legendary Filipino Nonito Denair unifying the WBA ibf nwpc World titles, whereas next right anyway, remains to be seen.
However, Maloney does want to hang around the world title as he gave his assessment on his future prospects.
He said I’ve been in with noinui he’s a real he’s, a really.
He really is a powerful pound.
Superstar.
Not many people get near him even when he moves up and wait.
I can’t see anyone beating him right now.
I am delighted to be ranked at number one in the WPC and WBO and I thank you to my team, Tony toler’s Top Rank and, of course, Master.
Thank you to miss to presidents Mr Suleiman WC, along with uh Mr VAR carcell, for ranking me as their number one bantamweight.
It’S a great honor to be ranked number one by the WBC and WBO.
I’M really very excited for what holds for my future.
I’M just thinking out loud and saying it is common for sanctions like to create another world champion when there’s a unified Champion who’s stepping into those megabytes.
If that was the case, I’d love to fight for the world title next, but I’ll leave it to my team to make the Right Moves.
For me, Maloney also sits at the number uh position in the WBO ratings, with English, Paul Butler, holding the real world title.
Maloney discussed the possible Showdown with Butler you mentioned the other day um.
He said I’d love to fight uh, Paul Butler.
I respect Paulie’s a very good fighter, but I win that fight every day of the week and boxing world knows that that fight can be made.
That’S great, I wouldn’t stand in the way of poor belt unification.
Of course I respect the sport, but if anybody Butler can’t be made I’ll, happily fight Butler next I’ll I’ll, I’ve shown I’ll try I’ll travel the fight anyway, I thought Emmanuel Review Guys in Orlando.
I thought anyway in Vegas it doesn’t bother me I ring as a ring.
I probably see him can facilitate the fight and don’t choose to fight anyway, name a place I’ll be there if top rank, facilitates it I’ll fight on the moon if Bob’s, all if Bob Aaron tells me to.
I will be Australia’s Next World Champion better enough alrighty.
