[ 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, courtesy of your friends and mine at boxing247.
com, please feel free to visit their website for any more information that i might skip over uh over the course of this Particular episode because it is rather lengthy, yet should take me about 15 minutes as usual.
Let’S start off with a brief little story about jake paul that fight between haseem, rockman and jake.
Paul is not going to happen because simply jake paul will not fight uh rachman, who is now not wanting to drop weight, as he suggested he might have contractually uh and therefore remaining at 215.
Pounds is unacceptable to jake paul who was willing to fight a 205.
Even though they had agreed to both fight at 200 uh pounds so anyway, that fight is not going to happen.
It has been cancelled that fight.
We were looking forward to because i honestly believe that that was a fight that jake paul was going to lose to a real boxer, who would have pounded him and it’s just too bad.
But let’s move on to another story: uh and uh some results.
Quite frankly, uh out of colombia, let’s start off with a quick little story out of columbia, the future of fighter locker, a boston-based boxing management company, was on display last night in colombia as two-time olympians, tremendous martinez and el tsunami, lionel de la santos were dominant in Their espn departees fights at elias yagwin colosseum in barangay colombia, the 30 year old martinez, who represented colombia in the last two summer, olympic games capturing a silver medal in 2016, made his long awaited pro debut.
Much to the light of his fellow colombians knocking out argentinian flyweight yaison hernandez in the fourth round, santos fighting out of dominican republic, thoroughly outboxed veteran colombian lightweight, luis marmal, on route to a shutout decision, winning all six rounds on each of the three judges scorecard santos.
The southpaw won the silver medal at 2019 pan american games.
So you have a little bit of news out of columbia because we typically stick to what’s happening in the americas and england, which is where we’re going to head now to bournemouth, where we had reported last week that chris billum smith was going toe-to-toe against isaiah chamberlain.
An electrified bournemouth crowd cheered, their hometown hero chris billum smith, to victory in a brutal 12-round war, with isaiah chamberlain for european and commonwealth cruiserweight championships.
Both men threw helpful leather for the first bell to the last with the second round, especially action packed.
Both men inflicting visible damage on the other across the first three minutes, alternating between long-range bombs and close range firefights.
Neither man willingly took a backward step from start to finish wow.
That sounds like great fight.
I missed it, but uh.
Nonetheless, chris billum smith has now more than earned his place at the top of the domestic cruiserweight division and put himself in world title contention.
He looks set for even greater glory in years to come and he can now confidently claim to have the whole of bournemouth behind him.
That’S a heck of a claim uh joe pickford, also uh fought raphael.
King and one knockout otis knockout artist, joe pickford, claimed another ferocious stoppage victory after overwhelming a skilled and powerful opponent and a raphael king, and that was in round three of one minute.
49 seconds.
Pickford landed a crunching body, shot that forced his opponent to seize up and then bullied him into the corner of the ring and continued to batter his body, while also mixing in some shots to the head, forcing the referee to end the fight and give pickford the 19Th suffix victory of his flawless 20 fight career and in our knockout of the week award winner ben whitaker was on this bill as well, and he faced uh greg, o’neill and absolutely cooperative uh knocked him out in round two he’s now referred to as the surgeon Ben whittaker delivered a stunning performance in one of his most highly anticipated professional debuts.
In a british boxing history, the olympic silver medal landed a perfect right to the temple in the second round that left o’neal out cold.
On the ring floor, the first round was fiery, as both men had moments of frustration in the clinch, while whitaker sprinkled in some of his showboating as well.
Whitaker looked set for superstardom as a professional for this fight, and this scintillating knockout has only made him seem this much more certain.
Also on this bill, fraser clark took on and beat ariel bracamonte uh and hasim.
Sorry, hassan asim beat jake quinn, uh, caroline dubois was back in action.
She beat happy dude technical knockout round three, not bad at all.
For caroline uh lee cutler uh beat meshech, wendy um, mikhail lawal beat chrisputo and dino and steve mckenna beat facundo rojas.
Let’S put a little bit of an exclamation mark on this story.
Exciting welterweight, steve hitman mckenna made a huge statement with a devastating second round stoppage of a tough opponent that never been stopped in his career before this fight mckenna scored a knockdown in the first round.
After a thudding left hook to the body and wore rojas down across the second round, forcing the referee to wave off the fight after the argentinian was unable to return to his feet from another knockdown late in the round wow.
What a great night of fighting we had in bournemouth, uk uh on the weekend good stuff elsewhere in newcastle, got a variety of uh results here.
Uh, namely uh we’re gon na lead off with another women women fighter, lisa whiteside, who beat jasmina nad, and this is an event that was held at the vertu motors arena.
Lisa whiteside marked her long away to come back by flooring, jasmina nad as part of a bloodstained battle in newcastle and the 36 year old boxing, for the first time in almost three years, says her comeback victory at the virtue at motors arena tonight last two nights Ago has put the superband to mate world champions on notice, whiteside defeated the experience not 60 to 53 after six rounds on the wasserman boxing show dropping the serbian in the opening seconds of the contest wow elsewhere, we saw on that very same night, pat mccormack defeat.
Uh, dimitri channel, as a matter of fact, the story goes pat mccormack, pummeled, dimitri trammell, with a vicious performance to make it back to back.
First round stoppage wins one of boxing’s hottest prospects.
Mccormack took just 95 seconds to force the referee to step in and save his french rival from further punishment and the spiteful mccormack forced two knockdowns before the contest was waved off and the olympic silver medals moved now to 2-0 as a professional.
Both wins coming.
By way of technical knockout in the opening round, good for pat from good stuff elsewhere and of note josh kelly went toe-to-toe against lucas bastida kelly overcame a tough, a seat at the end of the world rankings to claim the wbo international super welterweight championship.
It was a fiery encounter before the bell even sounded, and after yesterday’s two days ago, weigh in at antics and saw the two main event fighters.
Exchanging words.
Bastida walked to the ring in a newcastle, united football shirt to antagonize sunderland’s kelly even further.
Well, i guess he won’t be doing that anymore.
Um other results um quickly, let’s go through them.
Harlem eubank defeated eliot chavez, pat mccormack, as i said, defeated dimitri channel uh ben marksby, defeated ruston, steve robinson, defeated phil williams, jordan, barker porter defeated connolly uh.
That was interesting, uh jose stewart uh defeated, oh no declared a job, uh host stewart and franklin ignatius uh bought to a draw, as i said, lisa whiteside defeated, jasmine and nad and kai richmond defeated taka, bombay wow good stuff anyway, as a result of that josh Kelly fight, troy, williamson, who’s ringside, said josh kelly will not be able to live with the pace he plans on setting if the pair clash for the british super welterweight title.
As i said, williamson was ringside in newcastle on saturday night and was left deeply unimpressed by kelly’s performance against bastida.
The trojan, as he’s called gate, crashed kelly’s post fight interview to remind kelly that he is ready to put his british crown on the line before the end of the year.
Kelly insists he wants the all northeast clash, but williamson has warned his rival about what lies in store.
He said i spent most of the fight on my phone looking up now and again, because it was the same pattern for 10 rounds.
Williamson told probalum.
com.
I expected better from josh, but either way i’m confident i bet josh kelly and beat him in good fashion.
I think that should be i’ll, beat josh kelly and beat him in good fashion.
Anyway, i’m stronger fitter and a lot tougher.
I would push the pace to round one and i’d be surprised if i saw out of the 12 if he survived 12 rounds with me, i would work i would.
I would make kim work at a pace he’s uncomfortable with and once he won’t one he won’t be able to live with.
He might be tricky for the first four or five rounds, but over 12 round fight i will get get him in the end.
So good tussle shaping up there elsewhere we saw and reported on the danny, garcia and jose benavidez fight.
I believe that was uh.
This subject of uh cedric ben’s program, um the scorecard yesterday, the two division world champion danny swift, garcia dominated in his super welterweight debut saturday night cruising to a majority decision victory over exciting contender, jose benavidez jr.
There’S a showtime main event came out of the barclay center in brooklyn and headlined a premier boxing champions, show garcia, say perhaps his most impressive moment, post fight when he broke down in the ring discussing his struggles with mental health with showtime reporter jim gray, showing the Authenticity that he has made such a fan favorite in brooklyn, we won’t get into the details.
I might want to see errol spence’s comments on this online.
I thought he was quite rude and i’ve lost all respect for errol spence because of those comments.
Nonetheless, philadelphia’s garcia is now 37-3 with 21 knockouts has become a staple at barclay center ever since headlining the arena’s first boxing event in 2012 and his return on saturday night against benavidez.
He was 27 2-1 by the way, with 18 knockouts saw him pick up.
His seventh victory in brooklyn, so good for garcia, good for him being uh, honest with his emotions and let’s hope that uh his mental health is uh treated and he comes out a better man at the end of it.
Let’S move along uh to another story.
We see here coming out of birmingham.
Ah, yes, our friends at bcb, birmingham’s tommy williams, made a statement as he dropped and stopped tough t road warrior chris attaway the well-supported brummie caught out of a cold in the opening round, with the sweetest of shots that sent the plymouth man sprawling to the canvas Unable to beat sean messer’s count wow not to be outdone, coventry’s dylan chima did the same to his opponent, albeit it took him two minutes 31 seconds of the second round.
Croatia’S anto nantek was no match for chima, who got his opponent in some style.
Great pitchers.
By the way on boxing247.
com to support this article uh leeds quiz, ashfaq was also in no mood for overtime, as he disposed of alexandru ayamiti ashfaq box to orders against the tough romanian to continue his positive start in the pro ranks.
The fight looked to be going to the scoreboards before any body shot put pay to anita.
It would less than a minute of the final round to go.
Wurster’S james scarratt, who i reported on last week, opened the show with a convincing performance against sheffield’s paul skype.
Scarring showed maturity beyond his tender years to record a shutout third 40-36 win hereford’s liam o’hare, successfully navigated his first six rounder as he put lester’s george rogers to the sword.
The former ballerina danced his way to a shutout 60-54 win and finally, john connors defeated costa rica’s, burma sanchez.
The likable londoner got the rounds in on his debut to score a 39-38 win good stuff out of birmingham for sure.
Let’S move along to a quick little story: uh featuring regis, progrey uh, who wants to fight jose zapida pro gray, has been granted his shot at the wbc world.
Super lightweight title: a fight for the vacant belt between pro balance, progress and jose zapida has been ordered by the sanctioning body.
The wbc says a free negotiation period is now open, but if a delusion fight cannot be reached, then the pound clash will go to purse bids.
On august 30th, uh progress, you might remember, stopped tyrone mckenna at pro bellum evolution in march and in an official eliminator uh, but the wbc orders repeated to meet jose ramirez for the title after josh taylor relinquished the crown, but ramirez has now pulled out of that Fight which has allowed the former wba will jam in progress to step in and face his fellow southpaw.
The man known as ragaroo said in a recent interview that the super lightweight division was soon going to be the most exciting division in the sport and that he would rule the weight class.
Again.
Progress stopped kirill wreckie to win the wba title in 2019 and set up a huge unification fight with scotland’s taylor in the final of the world.
Boxing super series: american who’s now 27-1, with 23 knockouts, has rebounded from defeat in that remarkable encounter by recording three consecutive technical knockout wins zapita.
Who’S 33 has lost both of his previous two world title tilts, to england’s terry flanagan in 2015 and to ramirez in 2019.
.
So finally, our last story of the day, uh, wassup and boxing are delighted to have secured the signing of lyndon arthur who’s 19 and 1, with 13 knockouts to add to its already elite stable.
The promotion looks forward to getting the hungry lightweight out there and starting what is destined to be a very successful journey together.
I went a little quiet after my last fight and we just spent time fishing around for who could provide the best platform.
For me, someone who will get behind me and give me the best opportunities said arthur also known as the king king, arthur get it uh.
Wasserman boxing did that i instantly had a good feeling about what they could do for me and they sounded as happy to work with me as i was with them.
You don’t want to get that feeling that you’re at the b side, when you’re working with a promotion, i understand it’s business, but wasserman has been welcoming and shown.
They want to put work into me.
They seem happy to work and to push my brand and my platform to get me back into the first sorry into the right fights and for title contention.
I feel that they’ll help direct my career in the right way.

I’Ve been out in canada sparring with arthur barbier for the last fight and i’ve been out in san francisco training with josh buwatsi interesting and i’ve been making sure that i’m putting the work in and sharpening my skill set by staying busy in the gym.
Better bf is an animal, a monster and he is what you see away from boxing he’s a lovely person, but he’s very, very good at what he does.
I didn’t feel out of my depth, but he is talented watsi.
One of our favorites here talking fight is also very good at what he does continued arthur.
We boxed back in 2014 and i’ve been on the team gb squad with him and we don’t speak every day, but i only have good words to say about him again.
He’S an animal in the boxing ring and it’s all great experiences: wow uh, let’s see what wasserman had to say.
Wasserman’S head of global boxing kelly sourland, expressed his delight for being the ones to get arthur to sign on the dotted line.
