But before we get on with the stories I listed in the description down below, let me uh reveal some information I received um via press release.

It’S great pleasure that they have announced the appointment of Chris Chris wardrobe uh.
A charter Banker as chairman of the Central Area board and with the appointment Chris we’ll also take a seat on the main board of directors during what is a very exciting time for the British and Irish boxing Authority.

Bieber recruited leading head injury, specialist and forensic scientist, Professor Michael Graham uh and appointed uh him to the Biba medical committee and Bieber, became the first boxing commission worldwide to introduce the potentially life-saving infra scanners at all its events.
To ensure the highest possible level of health and safety for boxers competing on Biba, sanctioned events, all people licensed officials and coaches are required to have attended a head trauma signs and symptoms awareness course annually.
It is our belief they continue.
That is essential that, in order to be able to deliver the highest levels of Duty to of care to competing boxers on events sanctioned by ourselves that the officials in the ring and ringside, as well as those in the corner of beaver, license boxers when competing are Aware of the signs of possible head trauma – and this, as you know, has been a major area of concern for us here.
Talking fight since we launched over two years ago and I’m very happy to see that Viva continues their efforts to ensure the health and safety of the professional boxers that they sanction good for them.
Let’S move across the pond um south of me uh for an announcement from split team management.

Probably not the same.
Springfield from The Simpsons is known as the home of the Nay Smith Memorial Basketball, Hall of Fame, as well as the birthplace birthplace of famed author Theodore Geisel, also known as Dr Zeus, but soon to become known as a famed place to hold boxing events boxing promoter.
Chris trietti, president of granite chin promotions, believes the Western Massachusetts city has the potential to become much more, particularly when it concerns professional boxing as a relatively untapped market for prospects, because it is loaded with top-notch gyms, coaches and, of course, athletes.
Chad is so sure that his company’s first promotion there on November 19th by the way called the Springfield championship.
Boxing is a sure signal for the immediate future, as opposed to simply wanted done event in a new market.
A pair of eight round title fights for the vacant Massachusetts state championships both featuring local favorites, will certainly draw the spotlight undefeated Holyoke welterweight Prospect.
Denzel Whitley he’s 9-05 Knockouts takes on Chris Jake Jacobs out of Falls River Massachusetts, while unbeaten Pittsfield light heavyweight, Steve Sumpter 6-0 throws down with at uh out of New Bedford Massachusetts.
Completing the Western Massachusetts Talent triple header is Pittsfield super well to wait Carlos Castillo his 5-0, who will be in action versus Travis gambardela out of Revere Massachusetts in a six round.

Also fighting on the undercard in four rounders is Springfield.
Super featherweight Isaiah Cruz’s 4-0 takes on Mexican Challenger Pablo Bots race, in addition to Springfield lightweight Carlos Gonzalez who’s tuna uh versus Pro debuting Matthew, McGee out of Fairfield Maine.
So some um great news out of Massachusetts great to see Granite chin really taking over that market which, by the way, includes Boston – and we all know from film and movie that Boston is a great fighting City onwards to the WBA.
The world boxing Association championships committee issued a resolution on Tuesday ordering a fight for the Undisputed female featherweight title between Erica Cruz, the WBA champion and Amanda Serrano, who holds the ibf, WBO and WBC titles.
The committee determined that there is no need for special permissions and that the best will be facing each other in the ring, so it set Serrano as the mandatory Challenger to the title held by Cruz.
Now they’ll have a period of 30 days to negotiate the fight and if they do not reach an agreement or any of the parties refuses to do so.
The committee could send the fight to auction with a 50 percent split for each of the Champions wow.
On the other hand, the winner of the fight will have 12 months to make her next mandatory defense.
The resolution issued this Tuesday leaves, without effect, any previous resolution.
So, let’s see what Jake, Paul and MVP have to say on on that aspect, with respect to Amanda Serrano alrighty Terence Crawford revealed also on Tuesday night that representatives from two unnamed hedge funds offered to pay him and Errol Spence Jr guaranteed purses of 25 million a Piece: that’s US Dollars during prolonged negotiations with PBC founder Al Hayman, Crawford discussed why talks for their high profile fight fell apart last month during a 20-minute session, which was streamed on Instagram uh.
The unbeaten WBO Welterweight Champion also divulged that he personally informed Spence of the 50 million offer, but that Haman who advises Spence, wouldn’t consider the possibility of working with these unidentified investors Crawford contended.
We were willing to absorb the significant financial risk in their pay-per-view Showdown.
So he’s speaking, he’s speaking uh he’s recalling his conversation with Spence.
He goes uh you know on and on.
I’Ve had now two companies.
You know that reach out to me that you know want to give me and spends 25 million guaranteed 25 million guaranteed up front.
So I really I like myself, I called fans, I said: hey, bro, look, listen, you know what I mean.
I got this company, that’s willing to give us 25 million a piece guaranteed.
What’S up you, what you gon na do you’re like 25 million? What about the back end? I’M like dude, listen! If they make the money back, then we get an 80 20 percentage on the back end.
You know what I mean.
It’S simple math.
I said man, we got people who are buying the fight.
I mean stealing the fight, they got, the fire sticks and he laughed he like man.
I got a fire.
Stick too, I’m like see, I’m like man, ain’t, nobody really like buying.
You know what I mean pay-per-view.
No more.
I said man, we got this money up front and we good it’s a no-brainer.
You know what I mean Crawford, who is 38-0 29 Knockouts, will instead defend his 147 pound Crown against Russia’s David avenason who’s now 29 3-1, by the way, with 17 knockouts on December 10th in Crawford’s, hometown of Omaha Nebraska.
The three Division champion expects Spence who’s.
28-0.
22 Knockouts the ivfwba WBC 147 pound champ to face fellow PBC fighter, Keith Thurman who’s 30-1 with 22 Knockouts and one no decision by the way uh.
Oh, it won no contest.
Sorry sometime after he squares off against avenasian.
If Crawford end, spins win their upcoming bouts Crawford wants to resume negotiations for what would be a full Welterweight Title.
Unification fight Crawford lamented Tuesday night by the way, however, that because Spence isn’t his own boss, that the DeSoto Texas native couldn’t push for them to take the 50 million in guaranteed purses.
The 35 year old Crawford later explained that he was willing to accept heyman’s unusual offer of zero dollars guaranteed for one of the most meaningful fights that could be made in boxing Crawford apparently was convinced that his share of the revenue from their fight would have earned Him enough money to work without a guarantee that was only after a Courtney.
Crawford Haman wouldn’t entertain the idea of a third party’s involvement.
So there you go there’s some news out of Terence Bud Crawford’s camp uh.
Finally, before we close out here, let’s have a few words from Jermaine Franklin: who’s, going toe-to-toe against dillian white, a heavyweight Showdown that takes place on November 26th and is currently being trained in Tyson Fury’s camp and in fact, sparring with Tyson Fury.
He says I’ve joined up with Tyson’s Camp.
I tell you, I’ve learned a lot in the first day.
I’Ve realized what many do not believe and want to believe that I can compete with the Tyson Furies of the heavyweight division.
He is the best, but I believe I have skills and talent to be a champion also being in his camp.
In his brief period of time, I’ve learned how to run a camp, how to prepare, and also humble myself, to ask other boxers about how they are successful.
Yes, I will ask and have asked Fury about how to beat White.
It was pretty much general advice on how to beat white work.
Your game plan, as I continue to spar with him in the coming days.
He’Ll give me more advice on what to do.
