Photos: Takam Upsets Yoka, Azeez wins Euro title in Paris!

Tony Yoka (11-2, 9 KO) entered the ring as a hefty favorite against Carlos Takam (40-7-1, 28 KO): younger, higher, rangier and fighting in front of his home crowd. But this crowd also arrived in the price – the pressure on Yoka, which needed a lot of win after the dominance of Martin Bakole in his previous fight.

Despite this, the prospect of losing Yoki with a 42-year-old veteran opponent seemed unlikely on paper.

The dominant presentation of Yok was expected, so the surprise of the Parisian crowd was actual, because the fight turned into the total opposite of what they came.

The valid stab of the Olympic medalist Yoka turned out to be completely ineffective against Takam, who was constantly next to him and got into work on the body and intake of close range power.

Amazingly, the pace of the fight was dictated by the warrior 12 years older than his opponent. With the trust of Yoki, which he apparently shot, Takam was able to bring all his experience to make him a bad night for a home warrior.

With Takam, who received free work to work in the scope he wanted, Yoka was bloody and on the back foot in the last round. He needed a knockout, but it was almost no longer, and Takam was not uncertain on the way to victory in the decision.

The only sour note for Takam was his restless expectation when the results cards were read: two judges had it for him, but others fought for Yoka in some way, which caused a fractional decision to win, not unanimous.

This is a catastrophic result for Yoka, which falls to 0-2 in its last two trips with bad performances in both.

“Super” Dan Azeez (19-0, 13 KO) is the up-to-date champion of the European hefty delicate weight after winning in the final round over the former European champion Thomas Faure (21-5-1, 2 KO) in Paris.

Azeez is now the only warrior with delicate water who won subsequent English, British, communities and European titles. Enduring progress was an open part of Azeez’s plan to take part in the world championships.

“I climb the ladder step by step. British, communities of nations, European, and now it’s the world [title next,]Azeez said, who celebrated the addition of the European heavyweight European championships to his collection.

Faure entered the eight undefeated series in battle and put on a thrilling performance, but he was unable to stop Azeez gradually collecting him and take control of the meeting.

The last round occurred when the Faure-who was stuck in the previous round and more and more often on the defensive since bleeding in seventh place-she came to Azeez, which made him overwhelmed.

Returning to the fight, Faure stepped forward to enter another fleshy right hand that he couldn’t see, as he couldn’t answer.

The judge, who was already looking close, jumped to wave the fight and save the faure from the inevitable finish by Azeez.

Price vs mannes

Lauren Price MBE (3-0, 1 KO) maintained its excellent professional record when it increased to 3-0 with the dominant victorious decision over the German rival Naomi Mannes (6-2, 4 KO), and all three judges gave all eight rounds to Prices for unanimous winning.

For the first time, the price went on eight rounds and did a good training for her during the third professional trip.

“I felt good there for eight rounds. I thought that I used a stab very well – Price said, adding that she traveled abroad in her professional career because “she wanted to get out … The first one is outdoor for 2023.”

“Of course, there are still things to work, but she is a tough girl, and I caught her with good shots. I felt more comfortable when the rounds lasted. I felt really good in the sixth and seventh place. I liked it. “

The combination of Southpaw speed and attitudes makes it a arduous proposition for every orthodox opponent.

Mannes could not get closer to Welsh lightning, and her only successes come on the way from time to landing, usually after a few shots from the price in return.

Saad vs McGowan

The television card opened with a disappointing result for Manchester Man Macaulay McGowan (17-3-2, 3 KO).

Apparently, he went to the house of warrior Farrhad “Professor” SAAD (8-0-2) in eight rounds, only so that two judges announce a draw of the fight, and the remaining judge with a results card in favor of Saad.

After the announcement of most of the drawing drawing, he remained shrugging with his arms such as the assessment, which is too often for fighters who distance from the city’s family’s favorite.

“To get most of the draw? I thought I won it. I think everyone at home thought I won it. I think the crowd thought I won it. It is as it is. What can you do? ” He said.

“He didn’t really land tidy – and if so, I landed tidy. I turned his head!

The only really dominant ruin Saada was the last round of the fight, in which he shot harmful shots, which had a clear effect.

Most of the previous rounds seemed clearly in favor of McGowans, and Saad – who also had to stay twice to talk to the judge to employ the head and elbow – apparently on the right track to the loss of their undefeated album, before the judges provided their controversial decision.

Today’s four-person television-transparency TV Card with the French promotion of the All Star Promotions-imitated only live and only in Great Britain and Ireland in Sky Sports, with the broadcaster of Continental Canal+ transporting it to European households.

Evander Holyfield Reveals Knockout Artist Who Could Defeat Oleksandr Usyk

Evander Holyfield Reveals Knockout Artist Who Could Defeat Oleksandr Usyk

Evander Holyfield was unsure who to favour in a fantasy showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and one of his former rivals.

Like Holyfield, Usyk became the consensus top dog at 200lbs before moving up to heavyweight and, once again, cementing himself as the very best.

Even while contending with a notable size disadvantage, the Ukrainian was able to dethrone Anthony Joshua before eventually becoming the undisputed king against Tyson Fury.

Having twice beaten the two Brits, Usyk is now widely regarded as one of the all-time greats, among the likes of HolyfieldMuhammad Ali and Joe Louis.

At the same time, though, Holyfield is not convinced that the unbeaten southpaw would have defeated a prime Mike Tyson.

‘The Real Deal’ fought ‘Iron’ Mike in 1996, causing a sizable upset by stopping the formidable puncher in round 11, before winning their immediate rematch via an infamous third-round disqualification.

And while this was not even the most formidable version of Tyson, Holyfield would nonetheless back his former foe to defeat the majority of heavyweights throughout history.

When it comes to a clash with Usyk, however, the American has told Daily Mail Boxing that he would struggle to predict a winner.

“I don’t exactly know [who would win] that one.”

Like Usyk, Tyson was never the biggest heavyweight but, because of his speed and explosiveness he was able to win his first 19 fights by knockout and become a dominant world champion during the late 1980s.

Usyk, on the other hand, relies more on his technical prowess and, against Tyson, would need to be almost punch-perfect in order to emerge victorious.

Ryan Garcia Backs Fighter to Defeat Shakur Stevenson in Exciting Boxing Showdown

Ryan Garcia Backs Fighter to Defeat Shakur Stevenson in Exciting Boxing Showdown

Ryan Garcia has named the fighter that he believes can put an end to Shakur Stevenson’s 25-fight undefeated record.

Stevenson stepped up in weight to dominate Teofimo Lopez and claim the WBO super-lightweight title back in Januaryfully intending on returning to his natural lightweight division during the aftermath, until those plans were derailed when he was stripped of his 135lb title.

As a result, Stevenson has kept hold of his 140lb marble but has not fought since, despite links to a showdown with Garcia in spring, which collapsed when the Newark southpaw declared that he would not be willing to move up in weight once again.

Now, Garcia is scheduled to face Conor Benn next month, whilst Stevenson has recently signed with Zuffa Boxing and is searching for an opponent for his second outing of 2026.

Speaking to FightHypeGarcia revealed that he would favour IBF lightweight world champion Raymond Muratalla to come out on top if he and Stevenson collide.

“That would be a good a** fight. He [Muratalla] is smart, he is not going to just go in there and just [be reckless].

“I just think that Raymond has a lot of things that would give Shakur problems. It won’t be an easy fight for Shakur, that is for sure.

“[If it was] a three-round fight, I would give it to Shakur, even a six-round fight. A 12-round fight? I am siding with Muratalla.”

Muratalla is set to vacate his IBF crown and move into the super-lightweight division imminently, with the WBO having recently stated that he could be named as Stevenson’s mandatory challenger when he does.

Jesse Bam Rodriguezs Team Reacts to Naoya Inoues Super Fight Deadline

Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez's Team Reacts to Naoya Inoue's Super Fight Deadline

Robert Garcia, the trainer and manager of Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, has expressed his annoyance with a lack of communication from Team Nayoa Inoue.

‘The Monster’ made a seventh successful defence of his undisputed crown in May, unanimously outpointing Junto Nakatani in their all-Japanese encounter.

As a result, Inoue is not only considered the super-bantamweight king but, on a pound-for-pound metric, many would also place him at the top of the tree.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, made his bantamweight debut in June, becoming a three-division world champion by dethroning WBA champion Antonio Vargas with a sixth-round finish.

While there is much talk surrounding a potential clash between Rodriguez and Inoue, it would seem that no official negotiations have actually taken place.

Or at least, it is far from certain that the pair will square off in March 2027, when Inoue is reportedly looking to stage his next outing. He recently stated that he will not hang around at 122lbs waiting for ‘Bam’, and will move on if the fight does not happen in Q1 of 2027.

On the proposed showdown, coach Garcia has told Ring Magazine that he and ‘Bam’ have no problem with the deadline.

“There’s been talk that Inoue says he’s moving up [to featherweight] sooner than later – that he probably won’t wait [for the Rodriguez fight] past March of next year.

“We’re okay with that, but nobody’s told me that. Nobody from Inoue’s team has approached me saying, ‘Look, Robert. This is what Inoue wants. He wants to know if you guys are interested in the fight’.

“Yeah, we’re interested in the fight. But I’m not trying to change the date. I would love Bam to get one more fight at 118[lbs].”

Garcia went on to name WBO bantamweight champion Christian Medina as the ideal opponent for Rodriguez in November, before he hopefully steps up to 122lbs and challenges Inoue.
