[, Music, ] hello, there boxing fans around the world thanks for joining me once again, i’m talking fight for the episode of boxing news today, uh we’re going to follow up up on a story.
We were following all last week.
That is the big fight that was happening, uh down in uh las vegas at resorts world uh featuring tiofimo lopez, who moved up to 140 pounds after losing his lightweight title to george camposius jr, and he was uh fighting uh as i called him.
The underdog pedro campbell, i actually called out several underdogs on this particular card uh for all you, betting fans out there, but anyway uh the former lightweight king and now junior wealthway, uh, absolutely clawed petrocampa, as was discussed uh by the boys on uh knockout of the Week yesterday um he uh shook off his ring, rust and uh.
You know knocked out uh camper and in a pretty conclusive fashion.
Quite frankly, so he’s now uh at 140 pounds probably looking to fight uh, obviously josh taylor, but he might be a little too busy.
Uh and you might want to consider ryan garcia because, quite frankly, oscar de la hoya was seen ringside and uh, not to mention, of course, as a peta in progress as there’s always some a few contenders in there all uh battling uh for that uh that 140 Pound division and uh good luck, uh to senor lopez.
I hope he does well uh another uh co-feature that we mentioned last week.
Zander zayas maintained his uh undefeated record and picked up the nabo junior middleweight title in the process, with a fifth bell: knockout over a veteran elias, espadas, who’s now 22 and five uh.
He knocked out uh with a sweeping right hand in the fifth round in other uh uh fights on that particular card that i happened to mention last week.
It was good to see uh junior lightweight fighter andres cortes, maintain his undefeated record he’s now 18-0, with his defeat of abraham montoya uh, troy eisley maintained his undefeated record.
Beating victor tony duke reagan remains undefeated, with his victory over deangelo fuentes and junior welterweight omerio rozero remains undefeated as well, with his victory over esteban munoz rounding out that card.
It’S good to see charlie sheehy now 4-0 defeat juan castaneda the bay area product.
She went the distance for the first time as a pro battling away that constant pressure on route to a shut out decision, some fantastic uh car down to las vegas and uh.
As i said for all your betting fans who bet on those underdogs, i mentioned uh.
Sorry about your luck, uh, but if, on the other hand uh you did not bet on the underdogs and that went for the uh guys were heavily favored.
You probably made some money all right here we go batter jack has arrived in saudi arabia, ahead of his uh fight against uh richard rivera who’s 21-0 by the way, undefeated young prospect, and that fellow with an unblemished record, is looking to take on battery jack and Jetta on the undercard of the big usyk joshua fight this upcoming weekend, uh, let’s keep in mind batter jack as a two division boxing world champion uh former super middleweight and light heavyweight champ uh when he arrived, was met by several saudi dignitaries.
Influencers and members of the roy family at the king, abdulaziz international airport, who welcomed the champ to the kingdom uh, said batter jack.
I was so surprised to see how many saudi fans and supporters came to the airport to welcome me.
I feel right at home here in saudi arabia.
I appreciate all the love from everyone.
I’M gon na put on a great performance for my fans here on the 20th without a doubt, keep in mind in this previous two outings, both in the middle east jack, defeated any atoyo by way of first round knockout on the floyd, mayweather versus dying, more exhibition Event in abu dhabi uh and then followed up by scoring a second round stoppage against samuel busted in dubai.
With a victory on august 20th, he has his site set on capturing a third division, world title x, cruiserweight, so uh good luck to talk and fight, uh, favorite, battered jack we’ve mentioned him, often and uh.
He looks to to score a pretty big impressive victory over.
As i said, though, blemished uh record uh richard rivera 21-0, so it’s going to be a good fight and a good card.
Indeed, we certainly look forward to watching it.
It’S going to be a great fight, alrighty, let’s move along to chris eubank jr who’s, going to total tour against uh conor ben, and this falls on the heels of both of their fathers having quite uh an interesting battle like 30 odd years ago, and so they Had a media scrum the other day down at the o2 arena – and here are a few quotes, courtesy of our friend eddie hearn, chairman of uh matchroom sport.
Let’S have a quick look.
What uh eddie had to say.
We all grew up with this rivalry.
The greatest rivalry in british boxing in 1990 – i was 11 years old and i remember one of the greatest nights for our family when chris eubank senior stopped nigel band to win the world middleweight title in birmingham um years later.
I remember the night so clearly a hazy night old trafford over 45 000 people, 15 million on terrestrial tv watched, rematch and now almost 30 years on.
We get to see part three an incredible moment and these two step up for what will be the biggest fight in british boxing uh.
So let’s have a quick look at what chris eubank jr had to say for him, it’s a win-win, and for me, if i lose to conor ban on october 8th i’m finished, my goal is to fight for a world title in the next year.
I can’t lose the con ban and i expect to fight for middleweight world title.
It can’t happen.
This part connor ben said.
I’Ve said that numerous times this is a fight that makes sense.
For now, the world title is still the goal, but this is once in a lifetime.
This is a fantasy fight for the british public.
Forget about how part we were when i turned first pro.
The names were still mentioned to me.
Eubank was still mentioned to me before i even had my debut fight.
It’S just been brewing and the stars have aligned october 8th.
As chris said, we’ve both walked the same road.
So you’ve got to respect that i respect all fighters, but when we get in there and we will settle all the family businesses on taking care of the family business last fight was a drop it’s about time.
I set the score straight, so we look forward to an excellent fight between uh conor band and chris eubank jr taking place.
As i said at the o2 arena in london on october, 8th uh for my final story of the day coming out of quebec, canada uh.
It seems that david lemieux is retiring from competition.
Now the former ibf middleweight champ uh nadal made history uh with his unforgettable performance, keeping in mind uh.
He scored 43 victories in 48 fights 36 knockouts along the way in over 200 rounds of competition, but he has retired, have a quick look and see if we have some comments here sure, because i said uh, i’ve accomplished a lot in the course of my career.
I’Ve achieved my dream of becoming a world champion i’ve, given the fans rousing fights by accepting every challenge, gave my way.
I devoted my life to training the boxing, and now i want to cherish every minute with my family.
I’Ve accomplished a lot, but i didn’t do it alone.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the fans who supported me and encouraged me throughout my career.
Thank you to either tiger management team, especially carmilla, and mark two exceptional men states, lemieux uh.
I have the tiger management company out of montreal at canada and david grew and evolved together.
Together they experienced nights uh both high and low rooms of sadness and greatest joy.
At times they would be crushed, but then, as a team, they’d rise above and celebrate and continue the plow ahead, the team became a family and accomplished what many said they could never do.
They carved out a place for themselves among the elite and one of the most competitive divisions in on the international scene and thanks to performances that thrilled the fans and brought crowds to their feet, um said uh camille esteban um president by the time management david is The kind of guy that people love because he’s authentic and his heart is as big as the problems of quebec saying a lot uh he’ll.
He is someone who will take the challenge head on uh.
Something he’s done throughout his career.
Is all my respect.
What he’s accomplished, and even more so today, as he retires at the peak of health instead of clinging to the past, he’s chosen to retire at the right moment, and i want to thank him for everything so uh.
I guess uh sad news out of quebec, but uh with his head held up uh david lemieux has retired from the support of boxing and with that uh.
Thank you for joining me here on talk and fight appreciate.
