Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol
Published
1 month agoon
Artur Beterbiev became the undisputed lithe heavyweight champion, adding the WBA and IBO belts to his collection after a thrilling majority decision victory over Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia.
Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KO) entered this fight on the back of 20 straight wins, winning a slew of world titles along the way, with the last one coming in January, beating Callum Smith in seven to Bivola (23-23-KO). 1, 12 KO) in his last fight in June, he stopped Malik Zanid in six rounds.
Bivol landed some decent counters and combinations in the first round, and after a serene second, the Russian was successful again, scoring more combinations in the third round.
However, Beterbiev moved forward and the fourth one increased the pressure, but his rival remained behind a tight guard.
39-year-old he was busy, but many of his punches were landing on Bivol’s gloves, though the sheer amount of work he was doing was starting to get him a few rounds.
Beterbiev began to apply pressure in the seventh set, landing several solid punches, but the 33-year-old WBA champion responded matter-of-factly, wobbling the unified champion with his left hand.
Beterbiev was told in his corner that he needed a knockout in the championship rounds and he responded to that advice as he had a very robust penultimate frame, landing several shots that troubled the tiring Bivol, but both boxers made it to the final bell in an extremely absorbing contest.
The 114-114 draw was broken by scores of 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Beterbiev, who received the nod and walked away with all the belts.
Wardley destroys Clarke in the rematch
The long-awaited rematch between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke ended emphatically as Wardley defended his British heavyweight title in less than a round.
The pair played at the O2 Arena in March in a thriller that ended in a draw, but Wardley (18-0-1, 17 KO) let the judges off the hook this time, defeating Clarke (8-1-1, 6 KO) with a barrage of weighty punches. that put him on shaky ground and he finished in style.
The right-hand hammer struck the Burton man’s senses and the referee waved his hand to end the fight.
Opetaia sails from Massey
Jai Opetaia did almost everything he wanted in his fight against Jack Massey, defending his IBF cruiserweight title for the first time in his second term as champion after the Briton threw in the towel in the sixth round.
Opetiaia (26-0, 20 KO) was in dominant form and although Massey (22-3, 12 KO) put up a brave challenge, he never actually took part in the fight and after being broken by punches to the head and body after the sixth hour, coach 31 -year-old Joe Gallagher found it necessary to withdraw his charge from the battle.
Eubank Jr burns Szeremeta
Chris Eubank Jr won the vacant IBO middleweight title against Kamil Szeremeta, scoring four knockouts in a seventh-round victory.
Szeremeta (25-3-2, 8 KO) landed a right hand in the first round, and in the sixth round he knocked him out with the same shot.
In the seventh round, the Pole lost twice more, and the referee wisely ended the action.
Eubank Jr (34-3, 25 KO) faced Conor Benn after the fight, with both hoping to reschedule the fight after it was infamously postponed to fight week in October 2022.
The Whittaker-Cameron fight ended in a strange draw
There was a controversial and bizarre ending in the lithe heavyweight division as Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron (23-6-1, 10 KO) there was a technical draw after five rounds.
In the fifth set, both started aggressively clinching on the ropes and both fell out of the ring on the top rope.
Whittaker (8-0-1, 5 KO) performed worse, injured his leg and was unable to continue competing, and the fight was deemed an accidental foul.
The score of 58-57 for each fighter was deemed redundant as the third judge scored it 58-58 after five completed rounds.
Nicolson defeats Chapman
Skye Nicolson successfully defended her WBC featherweight world title for the second time, winning half the distance and scoring points over Raven Chapman (9-1, 2 KO).
Nicolson (12-0, 1 KO) defended her belt by two points 98-92 and third by a score of 99-91 in the historic first women’s world title fight in Saudi Arabia.
Super featherweight debutant Mohammed Alakel (1-0, KO0) started a winning four-round fight against Jesus Gonzalez (3-3, KO0) by scoring points.
Harlem Eubank will move up to welterweight next Friday when he faces Nurali Erdogan at the Walker Activity Dome in Newcastle.
Wasserman by Kalle Sauerland Boxing promotes while Channel 5 telecast Eubank vs Erdogan live in the UK.
Eubank (19-0, 8 KO) has been steadily climbing up the ladder since 2022, where he had four fights, including an impressive second-round knockout of Sean “Masher” Dodd.
The Brightonian had three fights in 2023, and after scoring heavily over Miguel Cesario Antin, he stopped Ishmael Ellis in his seventh fight in July.
Eubank then finished the year with the best performance of his career in his first scheduled twelve rounds, outclassing Timo Schwarzkopf, dropping the German twice en route to a penultimate round stoppage that earned him the vacant WBO Global super lightweight title.
His debut at 147 pounds is secure because Erdogan (16-3, 1 KO) is not an outstanding boxer and has only one victory in the initial phase. The Frenchman has lost three of his last seven, the last by a split decision over undefeated Faizan Anwar in May in Abu Dhabi.
Prediction: Eubank should find it easier to settle into his novel weight and I expect him to score a landslide victory on the scorecards.
Card preview
The remaining ten fighters on the list are in the super lightweight division, where Ben Marksby (10-0, 0 KO) can go the distance for the first time and score points with Levi Kinsiana (11-3, 1 KO), who is scheduled to fight next month fight for the title of English lightweight champion.
In eight rounds, Dan Toward (4-0, 3 KO) can once again delight his fans and can stop Johan Nova (9-1, 7 KO) on the schedule in the super welterweight division. Robert Lloyd-Taylor Jr (8-0, 1 KO) can score points in a welterweight clash with Robin Zamora (21-33, 10 KO).
In six-round action, Cyrus Pattinson (6-1, 4 KO) makes his Wasserman debut and could return from his loss to Conah Walker by making his super welterweight debut against Andrei Antonov (4-3-2, 1 KO) in the distance.
Joe Laws (14-3, 5 KO) is fresh off a penalty shootout loss to Stephen McKenna in August, and “The Benwell Bomber” should return to winning ways after his initial fight with Adam Cieślak (8-21-1, 3 KO) in middleweight.
Undefeated super middleweight Niall Brown (12-0, 4 KO) can secure points in the fight against Pablo Sosa (12-8-3, 3 KO), and J’Hon Ingram (5-0, 4) can do the same KO). his super featherweight meeting with Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira (6-15, 5 KO).

Super featherweight talent Sophie Alisch (9-0, 1 KO) can remain undefeated thanks to a points victory over Marina Sakharov (6-19-2, 3 KO).
In four rounds of fights, Codie Smith (3-0-1, 0 KO) should defeat Engel Gomez (8-40-3, 4 KO) in super featherweight and Lee Rogers (1-0, 0 KO) in super bantamweight ) can also win on points against the tough Yin Caicedo (10-26-4, 4 KO). Super featherweight newcomer Eduard Georgiev (1-0, 0 KO) should take some time to beat Jack England (1-11-1, 0 KO).

Lennox Lewis predicts Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight

2 weeks agoon
November 14, 2024Lennox Lewis shared his predictions for Friday night’s fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Paul will face Lewis’ former opponent Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Texas, where about 65,000 fans are expected to attend hit event.
Most experts predict a victory for the brash YouTuber, believing that the over 30-year age difference will be too much for “Iron Mike” to overcome.
However, former undisputed heavyweight king Lewis, who stopped Tyson in 2002, is backing his former rival to get the job done.
In an interview with Schmo“The Lion” insisted the 58-year-old “still has it.”
“I think it will be a good fight. Mike Tyson, what he does is two-dimensional, he’ll come at you and try to knock you out.
“Now you must try to stay away from him and his powers.
“I saw him practicing one day and throwing some good combinations.
“Those six-punch combos. Paul needs to make sure he doesn’t get in their way because Tyson is a real fighter.
“Tyson still has it, he can throw a punch, he can take a punch, so he’s doing something he’s used to.”
When asked about this, Lewis also had no doubts Nov 29 for his predictions.
“Mike Tyson will win.”
Even though the pair will only fight in two-minute rounds and will wear larger gloves, the fight is of a professional nature and will go down in their official records.
Many in the boxing world have expressed concerns about the health of the aging Tyson, with some even speculating that the fight scenario could have a predetermined outcome.

That said, the event is expected to attract tens of millions of viewers, thanks in enormous part to its live broadcast on streaming giant Netflix.
Jaron Ennis successfully defended his IBF welterweight title for a second time, scoring points over fiery Ukrainian challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in their rematch at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Ennis eliminated Chukhadzhian in the fifth round, but was forced to settle for a major unanimous decision victory.
The two met previously, in January 2023, when Ennis (32-0, KO29) won all twelve rounds on all three scorecards to capture the IBF interim title. “Boots” then knocked out Roiman Villa in ten minutes before being promoted to full champion, where he made his first defense in July, forcing the tough David Avanesyan to retire after five rounds.
Chukhadzhian (24-2, KO13) earned a rematch, becoming the IBF mandatory challenger following his victory over Harry Scarff in May.
Their second meeting was much more intense and in the opening round both were successful, with the challenger momentarily bending the knees of the home favorite with a left hook.
The Ukrainian also had a sturdy second, but Ennis quickly took up the task, cornering his man and unloading in the third before landing an uppercut in the fourth.
The 27-year-old then made the breakthrough in the fifth over with a wobbly cut from Chukhadzhian before another attack forced the visitor to a knee.
The knockdown halted the 28-year-old’s momentum in the next few rounds, with Ennis’ moves and combinations securing the rounds, and the championship rounds started badly for the Kiev fighter as he was deducted a point for excessive holding.
He continued to fight and showed signs of life in the penultimate frame, and the final round was also encouraging as he let go of his hands and landed some powerful punches.
However, the efforts were ultimately in vain as Ennis retained his belt with scores of 119-107, 117-109 and 116-110, and the American suggested increasing weight for his next appearance.
Ennis’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that talks are underway about the February fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr, as a result of which the fighter from Philadelphia will enhance to 154 pounds and will probably relinquish the belt.

“My performance was okay,” Ennis said DAZN after the fight.
“I think it’s time to move on to ’54.
“I felt good, but I felt that in 1954 I would be much better and my pop would be what it should be.
“Now I’m getting older. I’m 27 years aged. Next year I will be 28 years aged.
Bam attacks Guevara
Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez scored another impressive victory, defending his WBC super flyweight title for the first time in his second term as champion with a dominant third-round knockout of Pedro Guevara, who had never been stopped before.
Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KO) finished Guevara (42-5-1, 22 KO) with a keen left hook in the third period, and although the Mexican got the count over, a vicious right uppercut on the restart sent the challenger to the ground on his back and the fight was over. end.
Ford is back to winning ways
Ray Ford lost his WBA featherweight world title to Nick Ball in his last fight, but he made an impressive move up to super featherweight here, defeating Orlando Gonzalez twice en route to a crushing victory on the cards.
Ford (16-1-1, 8 KO) defeated Gonzalez (23-3, 13 KO) in the second round with a right hook, and with the same shot scored another knockdown in the eighth round, then won by two scores of 100–88 and one score 99–89.
