EPISODE: Episode 4
We’re going to start off the show today with a story courtesy of ESPN with respect to the importance of the upcoming fights – on the same night in September at London’s O2 Arena – between Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner, and Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall; then we’re going to discuss three bouts to be fought this month, and conclude with several statements from Eddie Hearn regarding Derek Chisora and a few of his possible opponents, if the veteran boxer beats Kubrat Pulev in their re-match this Saturday, keeping in mind the Matchroom chief is neither appreciating the efforts nor the opinions of his North American boxing counterparts these days, such as Al Hayman, Bob Arum and Leonard Ellerbe.

[, Music ] hello, boxing fans around the world, thanks for joining me once again on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, courtesy of our friends across the pond at boxing247.
com and augmented by a few other publications online.
Today, starting off with something that espn has written regarding women and boxing, specifically the big fight coming up the big double header, i call it uh at the 02 in london taking place, i believe in september.
Let’S get on with the story as written by a fellow by the name of michael rothstein, who you may or may not know, but nonetheless i found this to be a good article and i’m going to read the bits and pieces that are important.
As i see it, uh to boxing when kate, when kate taylor had a madness surroundings, fought in the sold out madison square garden on april 30th, a landmark night for women in boxing there were questions of whether it would be a one-off of whether there could be Tangible momentum based off the taylor, swann fight or if it would be a big moment for women’s boxing, followed once again by an unfortunate retreat into the background, which is why, when michaela mayer, alicia baumgartner christopher shields and savannah marshall, decided to do september 10th.
At london’s o2 arena could have been an incredibly important event at mayor and baumgarten’s agreement to be the co-main event under shield’s marshall turn.
What would have been two intriguing separate fight nights into a showcase event, putting shields marshall mayor park? Bob connor on the same card in london is not only intelligent from a marketing television and ticket sales perspective, but it’s also good for the sport in general.
It creates buzz, creates attention.
Throughout 2022, women in boxing have delivered fights that can garner the most attention and three of the best fights in the sport we can make are happening within six months of one another.
That’S a big deal for sport, trying to grow, trying to take a foothold in the public consciousness and turn into a football.
So next year can be even more of a secure grasp.
There’S a little question.
The taylor serrano fight at minimum lived up expectations in april.
If not exceeded them from the quality of the fight to the intensity of the crowd, if shields marshall and mayor farm garner can build on that, it could create yet another step forward where that size, port that seen significant growth in public recognition over the past 36 Months, there’s a difference between taylor serrano and the two september 10 fights in taylor toronto.
There was a clear level of mutual respect and little to no trash talk between the two.
It was simply two fighters considered to be the best in the world.
Finally, getting together.
After years of stops and starts with shields marshall and mayor baumgartner, there’s a legitimate dislike not just to create a narrative for a fight dislike, but an actual mutual loathing that sometimes can create spectacular moments in the sport shields and marshall.
Go back to when marshall became the only fighter to defeat shields in boxing as an amateur or professional back at the preliminaries of the world championships in 2012.
, once marshall and shields both turned pro and both showed promise as professional fighters.
This became an inevitable fight to make now both of them have been open about.
The animosity on social media has only made it even more enticing for mayor baumgartner.
The start of the feud is not quite as obvious as the two have never fought before, but for months really, ever since baumgartner knocked out terry harper to win, the wbc fell in 2021.
They’Ve had a real social media, feud mayor and baumgartner.
Let the world know through twitter and instagram.
They did not like each other, but instead of the two fighters letting this drag on for years and years until an unsatisfying resolution, far too late in their careers, they decided time is right and will meet in the ring.
In september, to unify mayor’s wpo and ibf and baumgartner’s wbc junior lightweight titles, it’s just another example of female fighters, realizing what a big time fight is realizing they can sell, said fight and that there is money to be made off it and then executing it.
Without the long delay, we’ve often seen on the men’s side of things with floyd mayweather, manny pacquiao and the third canal alvarez and golovkin fight as examples with barb garner and shield marshall.
Women’S boxing has a real chance to take what april brought and what september has the potential to bring and use it to create a lasting change for the future of women in the sport.
I think that was a well-written article by our friends over at espn.
Let’S move along now to chester usa, a company called price promotions is excited about their 2022 debut event that is scheduled to take place on july 16th at the elevation event center.
As i said, that’s in chester pennsylvania, the 10 round main event will be with a fourth vacant.
Nba bantamweight world title featuring the philadelphia native by way of sicklerville new jersey, the seven-time national amateur champ, phantom weight sensation, five foot orange 14-0 10 knockouts dylan, the real dill price versus the native of glasgow, new jersey by way of danville virginia 5 eleven inch.
Ten and two little eight knockouts southpaw drew corel.
This is being co-promoted by david price, dr david price, by the way and his eldest daughter, chantelle price and, as i said, the sixth, the july 16th fight guard will be the price promotions.
Debut event he’s going to be featuring, or i should say they are going to be featuring, a six fight card that will showcase 10 additional fighters that possess either one fight or making their professional debut.
In other words, 9 of the 10 evenly matched fighters will be looking to remain undefeated and that, for him, as he says, is super exciting.
Let’S jump across the pond to hamza charisse and get an update on what he’s up to he’s back on british soil.
Following his u.
s preparations for his headlining act at the copper box arena on july 16th, the same night as chester, pennsylvania, we’ll see uh price promotions event in a challenge for the vacant, wbc silver middleweight title to be shown live on bt sport, shiraz, who’s just 23 Years of age takes on francisco emmanuel torres in what will be his second fight at 160 pounds following his second round of stoppage victory over jess smith.
Last time out in march, the former wbo european super welterweight champ 15-0 foregoes, his home comforts for the duration of training camps to work under the experience ricky cunes at the 10 goose gym, in los angeles, as he’s happily living out his california dream.
He said it’s great to be back, but i accepted two camps ago that i would be working in america for most of my life as long as i keep winning and doing my thing i’ll be training there.
Most of the time i’m willing to dedicate myself to my craft and give it nothing but 100 boxing is about sacrifice at the end of the day and to be great, you have to get sacrifice.
You have to got to sacrifice.
Okay, i see you have got to don’t like that combination.
You have to sacrifice the pleasures in life not totally and become depressed or anything only for camp.
This is probably the smoothest camp.
I’Ve had it’s my fourth with ricky now, we’ve gelled and we’ve got a good understanding of each other.
He understands me more as a fighter now how to move how to do things.
It’S good and i can’t complain so here we go.
We look forward to us.
Do the english or the outcome of shiraz alrighty greg the villain and daddy who’s? 23 4-1, with 12 knockouts returns to the ring on saturday july 30th, when he takes on battle tested courtney, kingpin, pennington, who’s, 15, 5 and 3, with seven knockouts in a 10 round.
Super welterweight special attraction taking place at mostly’s on the charles and deda massachusetts, and this is an event promoted by vertex promotion in association with murphy’s boxing.
The fan favorite vendetti will be fighting in his home state for the first time in over three years.
During that stretch, he challenged herzland de lara for the wba and the ibo world championships ben daddy, lost by decision, but gained valuable experience fighting against a future hall of famer.
Then daddy wants to go back on the big stage challenging for a world title on national tv and that’s his next step on his voyage and that next step on his voyage will be on july 30th, all right uh.
He holds by the way victories over boyd nelson kerry gray, delvin rodriguez and stephen frantines waymaker management’s founder president arti de pino stated.
Greg is always looking to fight the best.
He understands what courtney pennington brings to the table and he’s prepared to take care of business.
This is an opportunity for greg’s fans to see him fight locally before he goes back onto the world stage.
Yeah, let’s see about that, let’s uh, let’s, let’s finish off with a quick story featuring matchrooms, eddie hearn, who seems to be going to war against all u.
s promoters.
Uh, let’s see what he says about eric chizzora, sorry, derek jezora, derek dejorah.
I don’t know, i think, he’s over the hill, but anyway, let’s see what he has to say.
Eddie hearn says derek jezora can transmute a victory on saturday night against kubrat public into a big fight.
Later this year i say who cares the matchroom guru hearn, isn’t saying what type of opponent would translate into a big fight or entertainment style, heavyweight to zora, there’s 32 and 12? I might add, still it’s not unreasonable to assume it could be one of these top fighters again near assumptions here, deontay wilder, who i would not be in the ring ever again.
I think he suffered a concussion last time out and he’d be balancing his health.
He doesn’t need the money – andy ruiz jr, who we know is going to fight soon.
Luis ortiz is fighting soon.
Joe joyce has just come up a fight, dillon might maybe neutrally, maybe philip perkovic, maybe with matchrooms boxing deep pockets they could get most out of these fighters.
This is courtesy of bachmann news, 247, sorry boxingnews24.
com by the way, with matchrooms boxings with matchrooms boxing’s deep pockets.
They can get the most out of those fighters to take on the grizzled 38 year old, veteran chazor later this year.
If the price is right, but it all starts on saturday night with the war in his rematch with kulap, chiazori will be marching into the ring on saturday night as the underdog against the 41 year old koulev in their scheduled 12-round fight uh at the o2 arena.
In london, england, six years ago, chisoro was out boxed by the six foot.
Five bulgarian pool up losing a 12 round split decision in a fight that derek wasn’t lucky to win where derek was lucky winning one round, crap he’s expected to get a big fight.
Go no, i’m not having it anyway.
Let’S continue with the story.
The judges that worked that fight were overly generous when giving rounds to jazzura because he didn’t win any rounds in the two cents if he wins.
I, this is eddie hearn saying this.
If he wins, i think he’ll get a really big fight at the end of it.
That’S a big! If buddy, if you look at the level he’s losing to tyson fury twice alexander yusick vitaly klitschko joseph parker robbed against robert hellinius, had a close fight with cooperate, lost to dillian white in two close fights, erin said about jazzar obvi yeah losing losing losing.
Obviously he was doing very.
Oh sorry, l is for learning.
Obviously he was doing very well in the second fight before he got chin.
So it’s harsh to say this guy isn’t quality heavyweight.
I’M sorry! This is just too british for me he’s better than 99 of the heavyweights out there, but unfortunately he keeps fighting half percent.
He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Oh my god, that’s killing me! I think the moment you see regression from jizora in the ring, particularly in camp, that’s when it’s time to walk away, but for the moment i feel he’s putting in good performances – and this will be a good telling point, because this is a tough fight, kool-aid kubrat Kulep is up for it.
That’S pretty confident going into the fight, but again he’s fighting a guy, that’s top 15, so he can lose.
Hearn said about the 28 year old yeah he could.
Four back-to-back defeats is never good for anyone, nor no, nor is two but again the harsh reality is that sometimes she sure is not as good as people he’s fighting that’s as much as i can give you in layman’s terms as possible, but he just wants to Have a big fight, he loves fighting.
He loves fighting at the o2 he’s entertaining he’s great to watch and i believe you’re going to see another entertaining fight on the weekend, yeah one way or the other.
Oh my god that guy cracks me up all right.
Sorry about that boys and girls – oh my gosh – that was too much fun.
