[, Music ] hello box of fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight.
Another episode of boxing news today we’re going to start off with a little bit of news out of the heavyweight division, because we have a fight coming up on saturday, uh featuring a couple of old-timers, derek chizora and kubra kula will meet for a second time over The o2 arena in london uh – i think they battled – let’s see, have a quick look here.
That’S six years on from their 12-round battle for the european heavyweight title that was held at the barclaycard arena in hamburg, germany last time and it was uh.
The bulgarian pool out who came out on top anyway he’s he’s now 29, two with 14 knockouts and still uh still contending for position up top of the heavyweight division, as is that british favorite jazzura who’s 32 and 12 with 23 knockouts.
But you know i i personally think their time has come and gone so we’ll see we’ll see what happens on this particular night uh.
I look forward to the result.
I’M not going to watch the fight, though uh, but here’s something that eddie hearn said um.
I’M delighted to get this fight over the line.
Initially, we’ve worked on some other opponents for derrick.
Let me do it, but this fight came out of nowhere a few days ago and i absolutely absolutely love it.
I think the strapline total carnage is absolutely perfect for this fight in terms of build up in terms of the fight itself expect the unexpected but expect a thriller at the o2 on july, 9th, both men have been long-standing fixtures of the world heavyweight division, and it’s All or nothing at the o2, for both as defeat could lead to the end of the road fans, can expect a huge undergrad and a brilliant main event for another brilliant bet.
Okay, it’s going to be brilliant.
This rematch between two of the heavyweight divisions most exciting fighters.
I challenge that statement is sure to be a sensational showdown that takes over the o2 said, ed breeze executive.
Vice president rights at the zone, we look forward to broadcasting this event: fans around the world as part of a stack and still growing slate of can’t miss fight nights all summer long on the zone, my god can these guys hide all right.
That’S enough of that! Now, let’s move over to uh a cute little story out of bowsing stoke england, boxing coach rocky williams says he knew protege.
Finley judd was a talent after overseeing a martial arts session with him as a school boy williams, who owns team spj, jim and bowsing stoke.
First met judd as a teenager where he spotted his town combat sports at an early age from there judd continued to practice mma as well as boxing and jiu-jitsu before back injury curtailed his promising start in the sport.
However, judd was still able to box and after holding his skills further the 23 year old welterweight has since become a professional boxer and has won all three of his bouts so far and he’s set to return to the ring in july, where he’ll face ivan nagak.
At london sorry sorry ivan at london’s iconic york hall um, i teach marshall mc.
I teach mixed martial arts.
I was teaching a kid’s class back in 2011.
It wasn’t boxing, it was just self-defense and finley came along when he was about 15 years of age.
Uh from the first lesson i said to his mom that he’s going to be a champion from that session.
I could see what i call fight readiness they might not necessarily be skillful because they don’t know the techniques, but there’s a natural readiness.
The only thing he wasn’t too good at was kicking.
I knew he did a bit of messing about with his cousin, but when we trained in that first session he had natural speed and head movement, that’s where he got the original, nickname the natural one.
Now because everything came to him, naturally after rece after recently receiving his license, the bout also means williams will be able to be in judd’s corner for the first time, something he believes will only improve the 22 old’s performance on the night.
It’S a box to creative fight at your hall, he’s bought in environments like that where he was on the white collar scene.
It’S going to be a good one for us both to experience together, helping him call the shots and him looking stylish doing it.
So a good little story out of browsing stuff for a little like a rising prospect in the welterweight division out of the uk, and it’s good to get some decent boots out of a boxing coach who’s.
Also on the rise.
It seems available by name of rocky williams.
Let’S move along to canada, where we rarely talk about canadian boxers unless they’re fighting abroad, but this particular fight will take place.
A little bit east of uh in between toronto.
Montreal at a civic complex in cornwall that’ll take place on the 6th of august between tony lewis and steve clackett.
Cornwall boxer tony lewis is 29-5 with 10 knockouts and alberta’s steve clackett, who’s, 37, 31, 7 and 2 with 21 knockouts will finally fight the war.
The bloxy fans have been asking for the two canadians will face off on august 6th at the civic complex in coonwall, in a boxing car presented by live coat boxing, a few events are as exciting as a fight where two boxers are at the crossroads.
Indeed, this confrontation can open doors for the winter while it can have the opposite effect for his rival.
This last fight was last march when he fought in the ring at the sumptious madison square gardens.
It was a return to action following a 19-month layoff the covet.
Having will plans for many, this bet with claggett will be his 35th fight and he’s determined to get back to winning says in my last fight against blasa.
I wanted to show what i can still do.
I think that i and the fans deserved a much better result, but the way my son matches claggets, i don’t see any losers here and the biggest winners will be the fans for his part.
Claggett who’s been more active, as in the last of the last few months he assigned to a signed side to win by knockout.
He signed two wins by knockout.
His confidence is therefore as peak, and he has a strong desire to get back in the ring and go for a third consecutive win and thus continue his momentum.
This is a great fight for canadian boxing.
It’S an explosive match up two experienced warriors with blood and guts and two fighters who put it on the line.
Every time august 6 is going to be a fireworks display, said the calgary native.
Now we will see who’s work the hardest and who has been the most effort and who, who will come out on top when the bell rings at claggett? This fight has been building for a long time and there will be no turning back.
Let’S see who wants it more? Those concludes.
Claggett live similar journeys, beating the odds making our way as warriors and competing at the highest level.
Without back, we always knew this day would come, but we didn’t know when now we know all right there you go.
The fighting news out of canada, specifically uh from cornwall ontario and then let’s get back to some heavyweight action, something that we rarely talk about here in talking fight, um, andy ruiz jr, said he’s almost ready for his fight against louise king kong ortiz on september.
4Th that’ll be featured on fox uh sports uh pbc pay-per-view at this crypto arena in los angeles formula staples center.
The massive amount of weight that ruiz has taken off the last two years hasn’t improved his game and might have diminished his punch resistance as his writer dan ambrose.
When you have a fighter that has been chunky their entire career.
Likewise, it’s better to not tinker with that and try to take off too much weight.
He says boxing fans on social media, don’t understand the logic behind ruiz promoters, placing his fight against the 43 year old ortiz is 33.
2, i might add, with 28 knockouts still they’re likely counting on people celebrating labor day weekend to purchase the fight.
That would be fun.
Sports pay for you, the former unified heavyweight champ ruiz who’s 34-2.
Did i mention that 342-22 knockouts isn’t revealing what his weight is? Still, he looks.
Slim not the obese 283 pounder that lost to anthony joshua back in saudi arabia in december 2019.
What’S unclear is whether that weight loss has improved the 32 over ruiz because he looked poor in his last fight against the 40 year old chris ariola the previous year in may areola dropped ruiz in the second round and had him badly hurt.
If areola were a few years younger, he would have finished off luis.
It’S not a big shock that ruiz looked so poor against ariola, considering he was coming up in one half year, layoff and they’ve been enjoying the millions of dollars.
He’D made his fights with british heavyweight anthony joshua.
Now a rich man ruiz is fighting to love the sport rather than to support himself with ruri’s net worth estimated at 10 million bucks he’s pretty wealthy, and it must be difficult for him to continue with his labor of love on the undercard by the way uh Isaac pitbull cruz, con tortolgaes eduardo ramirez, jose valenzuela against gisele, corrales and abner maris versus miguel flores, and for the last uh item for today, i’m going to move you over to the o2 arena again for, what’s going to be a quite a historic championship, battle between Four young, ladies two heated rivalries, will come to a head on saturday september 10th in the historic championship.
Doubleheader at the o2 arena in london says this particular story.
