Foreign [ Music ] fans around the world thanks for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today and we’re going to start off with, I wouldn’t say news per se, but it is an announcement that I think is worthy Of your attention it caught my attention, certainly uh, with respect to the upcoming Anthony Joshua Alexander, you, sick fight is taking place in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
I want to bring to your attention that they’ve released a really great video well done, uh.
They fired the best of the best there’s a lot of time, energy and effort taken into this two-minute promo clip.
I encourage you to have a look at it.
I put the link down in the description of our show down below, so please uh click.
It have a look at it, it’s also on the uh talk and fight uh Facebook page and have a look at it.
It’S it’s really well done, and it really helps uh promote uh the support of boxing, and especially this fight, and not in the usual manner, where two fighters are simply uh going face to face uh.
Have you share a staring match, uh after their weigh-ins, which I’m getting rather bored up? I’M sure you are too so check out this video.
It’S very well done, encourage uh you to take a look.
Let’S move along now to uh the Philippines nanito Donaire uh.
Some news about him and his career he’s targeting huge fights at the superfly weight division with zudo ayoka and Roman chocolatito Gonzalez before moving up to chase bantamweight greatness uh.
The four uh the four-weight world champion has emphatically dismissed any idea of retiring keeping in mind.
He’S 40 years old, following his brutal stoppage defeat to uh anyway, back in June, instead uh the legendary Donaire, who will be uh 40.
I’M sorry not 40, yet he’ll be 40 in November, intends on dropping down to the 115 pound division to chase mouth-watering fights with WBO champion ayoka and the brilliant chocolatito, and then the Filipino Flash plans to move back into the mix that phantomweight in pursuit of becoming The Undisputed champion in that division, it’s really good fight with chocolatito and people, saying a legend versus Legend uh said to an air.
It’S a big fight.
I do like the ioco fight as well, because I want uh to get that title and become a five Division champion and then move back up to 118 and go for the Undisputed Crown once everything else is open and I get another opportunity for it.
So there there you go and I need a dinner who I thought I thought his career was finished, but uh looks like he’s got.
A bit of a plan looks like he’s: uh he’s on board to move down and up and get that live division, uh five division belts under his belt.
All right.
Let’S move along quickly now to Fort Worth Texas at the Dickies Arena this weekend, we’re going to see Blair Cobbs go to toe against Maurice hooker uh this, as you all know, uh is the under.
I believe this is the undercard uh well to wait.
Blair, the flare Cobbs 15 101.
We battles Maurice Mighty Mouth Booker, uh on Saturday August 6 on the undercard.
Yes, the Virgil, Ortiz Michael mckinson fight, which I mentioned yesterday.
Uh Cobbs has a new team in place and he’s training in Oxnard California, with Roger Romo um augs versus hot hooker versus Cobbs is a 10 rounder it’ll take place at the Dickies arena in Fort Worth and it’s being promoted by Golden Boy by the way um.
So a quick little quote here from um uh cops, who says uh on dealing with the first loss of his career.
It was hard I didn’t like to stop it.
Just people could see.
I was still fighting back.
It doesn’t matter now.
I must win this fight.
The result is a result, and now I must earn my my spot back.
I know I have a new mindset: I’m ready to fight my heart out, all right good for him and by the way, I’m fighting on the Virgil Ortiz card because he does want to fight virgilities, I’m sure in the future he said: uh Blair, the player has Looked at Virgil Ortiz as a future opponent for a long time.
So after I have another spectacular performance, it won’t be a matter of time.
Before I face Virgil Ortiz, who I think will win this fight against Michael mckinson.
I think the fans will embrace it and want it as well good stuff out of Texas alrighty.
Let’S move along to uh Florida, Junior welt weight Rising Star Ken Sims Junior will face Christian Nino in the main event of a Bally Sports present intro box boxing championship.
Uh at the Caribe Royale in Orlando as taking place on the 21st of August, the card is being promoted by Box Lab in association with American Dream presents and tickets are on sale already uh.
Let’S have a quick look down here representing the fighting city of Buenos Aires.
Mino is 22 5-2 with 17 Knockouts and the heavy-handed 25 year old battle very world-class bows, including Alfredo Santiago, Juan Lopez, Nesta, Bravo and Ruben Torres among others, um Sims.
By the way I forgot to mention has a record of 17 two and one with five wins coming by knockout, he’s being promoted by GH3 promotions, he’s coming off consecutive victories against unbeaten opponents, handy Alves, Rodriguez and Keyshawn Williams, their first professional defeats.
He also battle top rated contender in Montana love to a toront in 2018.
.
This is going to be a good fight uh in the co-featured bout of the evening, Junior welcome Garcia in a 10 round contest born and raised in Cuba, but now residing in Miami Florida Cas is 4-0 with all those victories coming by way of knockout on May 7Th our Quest stopped one world champion, one Carlos Salgado in less than two rounds.
Wow Garcia’s 17-7 has a pro and 13 those Wins Game by knockout knee hails from Buenos Aires.
Argentina Garcia’s mainly battled uh quality Fighters that include Harold called Iran.
That’S the problem as well: oh does that have one more quick, little uh fight to this card Blue Chip, welterweight Prospect, Kevin Brown makes his highly anticipated against former World Champ Jose alfara in the eight round.
Welterweight Matt welterweight matchup is important because uh as one of the world’s top amateur boxers uh Brown won the Cuban national championship in 2019 and then uh defeated legendary, raniel Iglesias in the finals, but then defected in early 2022 for the opportunity to begin his career.
In the United States, his opponent, how far by the way hails from Nicaragua, has also fought against some of the boxing’s best.
Hailing all the way.
Back to 2007 uh Alfaro won the WBA lightweight championship by appointing Anton nagarez in Germany, but lost his first title.
Defense against yosuki karubi in his native Japan, he’s faced Eric maraz and Humberto Soto in Mexico, Jason pagar in the Philippines and Cesar knuttya in Argentina, so a good card uh shaping up there to take place, as I said in Orlando Florida on the 21st of August.
Let’S have a look at what Natasha Jonas is up to she’s, looking forward to fighting on September 3rd, the WBO super Welterweight Champion Natasha Jonas eleven, two and one eight Knockouts kicks off a Monumental month for women’s boxing when she looks to add the WBC Crown to Her collection in a blockbuster unification fight at the m s bank arena in Liverpool.
This is courtesy of boxer.
com by the way b-o-x-x-e-r fighting in her beloved home City Liverpool, Jonas who’s, one of the first ever oh wait.
A second was the first ever British, because um yes, British uh, first ever British female boxer to compete at the Olympic Games.
A decade ago in 2012.
uh faces Sweden’s unbeaten defending WBC World Champ.
Patricia Burke bolt is 15-0 with three Knockouts of her own.
This will be the first time Jonas has fought on emergency side since she dispatched Bianca Malt Shop three years ago, as as the sky sports commentator joins, Bella Hometown hero Liam Smith on an action-packed card uh, but in bird calls, it should be noted.
Jonah’S face is arguably the toughest test of her career when she collides with one of the most formidable stars in female boxing today.
Ben Shalom, by the way CEO of boxer said, Tasha is one of British boxing’s Trailblazers.
She was our first world champion signing at boxer and she fully deserves this great opportunity on home soil and it is a great fight against the WBC champ Oracle.
It was unbeaten and will be looking to upset the whole bands without a doubt, good stuff, coming out of Liverpool, all right.
Look forward to that fight, as I said September 3rd month, delay a night later on September, 4th of the crypto calm arena in Los Angeles you’re, going to see a whack of players, including Rising unbeaten super welterweight, Joey Spencer, who will battle uh Mexican Contender Kevin Salgado.
In a 10 rounder and that highlights the PBC action live on Fox and for Fox desportes uh, beginning uh, 5 PM Pacific time.
That’S the the Labor Day weekend to the Americans and prior to that box, broadcast undefeated top Super bantamweight Contender.
Rais Alim takes on Mike pelania in a 10 round attraction uh beginning at 7 pm.
These two exciting matchups uh will lead to a stacked Fox PBC, Pay-Per-View event at 9, 00 PM Eastern Time, 6 p.
m.
Pacific Time headlined by the highly anticipated heavyweight clash between former unified heavyweight world champion – Andy the Destroyer, Ruiz, Jr and hard-hitting talking tender, Luis King Kong Ortiz, who meet in a WBC heavyweight title Eliminator.
So that is going to be one heck of a night.
As we were all expecting anyway, fourth of September, down to Los Angeles, let’s have a quick look and see what the English are up to in that month.
At the ano Arena, as I announced yesterday, Joe Joyce, going to talk against Joseph Parker September 24th and they both went Head to Head had their kickoff press conference yesterday.
Let’S have a quick look here and see what was said.
I think what was most importantly said comes out of the mouth of Frank Warren uh, head of Queensbury.
He said we have delivered it, we want to make the fight, and it is an important fight between the WBO number one and Joe Joyce and WBO number two Joseph Parker, that is uh.
There are two, No Ordinary Joe’s, they are two exceptional Fighters and I think we’re gon na get something a bit special on this night.
You look at their records.
They’Ve got fabulous records with Joe Joyce 14 fights undefeated with 13 Knockouts and an amateur pedigree which is impeccable.
Then you’ve got Joseph Parker a former world champion whose only defeats came after Anthony Joshua and dillian white.
That is, I think, a Crossroads fight for him.
That can he get past Joe Joyce nobody’s managed to do it yet because he’s a fantastic engine and a great chin he’s solid and he’s also got a great punch and a great work rate.
The same as Joseph Parker.
We know Parker comes to fight and one thing is for sure it will be a great fight.
It is all on the line, and you know why, because it is such a big prize for the winner.
The winner of this fight will become mandatory Challenger to the winner of the fight on August 20th, between, as I said before, music and Joshua, so they have got everything to gain here, everything’s on the line.
This is what this is all about.
This is heavyweight boxing at its best.
It’S not just two guys having a fight.
There is a prize a big prize at the end of the night, the winner, it is a massive incentive, so these guys are going to put online big time and the fans will get an unbelievable, phenomenal Bonanza fight.
He concludes all anyone needs to know is.
That is happening, but we went behind the scenes we went behind the scenes.
We were all worked very hard and Joe Joyce has been so patient along with his manager Adam, and we all kept our eye on the prize and had Tunnel Vision on this.
My son George did all the negotiations with Ben and Ben Shalom.
I guess and did a great job and between them we got it on all that matters now is that these two guys are signed up and will be in the ring September.
24Th.
That’S all that matters all the other stuff is in the past that was gone, but we’ve got to look forward to is an absolute, unbelievable fight, a heavyweight Banger at its best, fantastic first part, as I said, uh bench alone, said.
First of all, thanks to Queensbury, I think it was the fight all the fans wanted and when we signed Joseph to this is what they want they were crying out for.
I didn’t understand that they thought it could happen just because he signed with us, and I hope boxing can now move in that direction.
We know it’s really gone uh very competitive between broadcasters, but at the end of the day we all work in boxing and we want the best fights good stuff, good stuff.
That’S interesting to note.
Speaking of boxer, that Jack caterall has been signed to boxer Jack adrel.
26 and one um 13 Knockouts has banned a new multi-pike deal to sign exclusively with boxer.
Now, as you might recall, he uh he lost to Josh Taylor back in Glasgow he’s now a man on a mission and he’s happy to be uh.
Looking forward to some fights, uh being screened, live being shown, live and exclusively on Sky Sports and also streamed, of course, uh.
But let’s see what’s installed in store for him because uh there is no mention of a fight with or a rematch with Josh Taylor um.
He says: maybe that will be the rematch uh, but whatever happens, I think he deserves another world title shot in the very near future, says Ben shalom.
Finally, last story of the day: let’s take us over to Sheffield England for a bite.
That’S coming up.
Uh tomorrow night Dalton Smith versus Samuel Maison, and this is uh – quote cursive Eddie Hearn, who we all know, has the biggest ego in British boxing bigger than Tyson Fury good afternoon everyone and welcome to Sheffield.
He said it’s brilliant to be back in the steel city, ahead of a huge night of boxing this Saturday at the Sheffield Arena.
The next gen are here in Sheffield the future stars of the sport three big championship fights at the top of the bill, but so much young Talent.
Here too, the reason these cards are so exciting is because this is the future of British boxing here.
I must interject does he only think that the only fighters in the world are British? Let me continue all of these young guys and girls looking to move to the next level this weekend headlined by who, I believe, is one of the best young Stars, not just in Bridge boxing but in World Boxing Dalton Smith and all Sheffield Clash for the British Light with milkweight Championship live next to the fundazone around the world.
Now I’ve just mentioned how many Junior welterweight welterweight fights going on.
There are a lot of people fighting around the world um in these divisions, not just British Fighters Eddie Hearn.
I hate to tell you but uh, let’s, let’s hope that we see some foreign fighters on the zone as well and not just on British TV anyway, I’m a bit Ramblin here thanks for joining me here and talk and fight.
Sorry about that.
I carried away um.
Just wish Eddie Hearn would open up his eyes to the world of boxing.
Not just British boxing anyway.
