[, Music ] hello, boxing fans around the world, thanks for joining me once again on talk and fight with another episode of boxing news headlines, courtesy of our friends over at boxing247.
com across the pond, and before we get into the actual news of the day.
I was just going through some of the the headlines in the world of the heavyweight division and i can’t believe uh uh, shall we say the chatter that goes back and forth among uh the boxers and the promoters.
Some of the things that that sprung out of me today, while going through just the headlines, not reading all these stories, although i did take the time to read several of them, because they’re just so entertaining anyway um.
What got me down this path was the fact that uh tony yoka has accepted uh the ibf eliminator uh against philip uh hirokovic okay.
So i read that – and i know that’s interesting – i wonder what’s happening in heaven because we are talking fighter always discussing uh unplugging that heavyweight division, so it led me down this path of uh having a quick look around and seeing what was going on.
Let me just relate to you some of the some of the things i noticed.
Uh, derek jezora, for example, says he can beat deontay wilder and then adding uh, andy and joshua will beat alexander usyk and then defeat tyson fury as well.
Let’S go through a few of these these headlines because they’re absolutely hilarious.
Oh, this is in addition, uh to what larry holmes had to say the other day, uh about both tyson fury and auntie joshua and their boxing ability and uh in encapsulating.
It larry jones basically says today’s heavyweights.
Just don’t have the same skills as the heavyweights of the days gone by.
So amongst those comments, then uh, it led me to um.
You know these other, these other interesting uh these articles, and let me start you off with something that eddie hearn said: eddie hearn, who do i respect as someone who is challenging uh in seemingly an honest way, uh the world of boxing and how it’s structured anyway.
Eddie hearn promoter for two for former two-time heavyweight champion auntie joshua, expects his boxer to reveal a new trainer in the next few weeks.
Last september, former cruiserweight king alexander yusek outbacked joshua over 12 rounds to capture the wwe ibf ibo world titles.
A rematch clause was exercised by joshua and the second contest is targeted to take place uh sometime in april.
Okay, following that loss uh, as we all know, auntie joshua fired his trainer and traveled to the united states and was even spotted sparring with that floyd mayweather and also travel to dubai, uh working out with even other traders.
But the point is is, is that you know getting so close to a fight he’s still debating who to train with uh, not that there’s any shortage of trainers uh, but it’s obviously a big concern for him to to win that fight against yousick.
Having said that, and speaking of the heavyweights and speaking of uh who’s on top right now – and that would be tyson fury, dillian white uh says this story written by uh scott gilfoyd, dillian white could lose out if he fails to act quickly to set up a Fight with wbc heavyweight champion tyson fury for march 26.
, if white loses his chance, oh well, it would just be another example of him fumbling an opportunity at 33 white is getting old and he’s not going to keep getting these chances for him to flush down the Toilet with his decision making white’s promoter, eddie hearn has sounded defined, insisting on continuing his push for a bigger split than the 80 20 that the wbc recently determined so sports fans.
That’S what it’s all about money anyway, the article continues.
It’S believed that earn is looking for a split in the 60 40 or 75 35 region, which would be a massive payday for white who’s, 28 and 2 with 19 knockouts.
However, this author continues: if you go by the purses, white and fury made in their last fights, the split should be 8515, which would be the most accurate rather than 80 20, which is what has been determined already.
However, it’s something that eddie hearn is arguing against white’s purse by the way for his rematch with the post, kova 19 alexander povetkin last march was three hundred thousand dollars.
Last october, fury’s purse for his trilogy match against jonty wilder was 20 million, so there you go sports fans a little bit of information about the heavyweights.
But anyway, let me get back to what derek cezar said.
He said uh he’s backing auntie and joshua to beat alexander yousick and tyson fury.
But if you haven’t look at some of the the the twitter feeds have gone around and some of the other instagram posts you might have noticed uh what tyson fury’s been up to and he’s been putting on a bit of weight.
It would seem unless these are old photos that i happen to be noticing anyway, british heavyweight veteran, derek chisora who’s 32 and 12, with 23 knockouts backs his fellow countryman anthony joshua to dominate the heavyweight landscape.
Jizora lost to joseph parker for a second time last december, but vows to fight on with growing talk of his next opponent, potentially being wbc heavyweight title uh former wbc heavyweight ruler, deontay wilder, with both boxers coming off back-to-back losses.
Now i have said before: deontay wilder suffered a major concussion in that last fight against tyson fury and is in no shape whatsoever to enter the ring, and i hope he bows out respectfully uh as a fighter.
But anyway, if he goes up against derek jesus, which would make a hillard means the difference for anyone in the world, especially tyson fury.
But as we see, someone else had something else to say about tyson feud, tyson fury easier than alexander youssek says robert hellinius, who is close to world title fight.
I would not fury out screams the headline.
I would knock tyson fury out.
He is an easier style for me than alexander youssek for sure says: robert hellanius who’s demanding to be instated as a wba, mandatory challenger to the heavyweight title i mean this stuff goes on.
I haven’t even hit the news today by the way i’m just recapping.
Some of the fantastic headlines in the heavyweight division, but just to encapsulate uh the heavyweights.
Here’S the headline tyson, fury trolls, anthony joshua by claiming he had 14 pints of beer before sparring fury, has once again mocked joshua this time.
Joking that he can drink copious amounts of alcohol and perform at the same level as his rival, with a strict diet plan again going back to the pictures of tyson, fury, uh being rather overweight, it would seem yet being the heavyweight champion uh.
Let me let me let me end it there, because this stuff goes on.
Let me get on with the news of the day.
Uh, coming up in an upcoming fight you see, ayuba salimu is going to face sadie abdallah sadie for the uh yubio international title on january 30th, on january 30th, tanzanian compatriots, ayuba, suleima and sadie abdullah sadie will square off in what is a big opportunity to make A name for themselves, after only four professional outings each they will fight for the vacant.

I mentioned caroline dubois earlier, while her brother, daniel dubois, had some comments to make with respect to the heavyweights who i was talking about earlier, and this comes under the headline of daniel dubois assesses the heavyweight landscape.
So i’m going to end off today’s episode with his comments.
Daniel dubois assessed the heavyweight landscape and concluded that he is destined to become the leading man of the division when his time comes, the 24 year old is ranked at number one by the wba and a shot of the champion.
Trevor bryan is set to be called by the governing body.
The wba, of course, also have a super champion via unification, which is currently alexander usyk, who is awaiting a rematch with the vanquished anthony joshua dubois, defeating brian, would ultimately see him put forward to face the usyk joshua winner or perhaps an undisputed champion.
If the belts come together, dubois acknowledges there’s a lot to play for before any such mystic matchmaking becomes a reality.
He says, let’s see in the next couple of fights and where it goes.
