Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Josh Padley, who was largely unknown to British boxing circles ago, said that on Saturday he could “definitely” beat the lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson.

Padley (15-0, 4 KO) got a phone call on Tuesday evening asking whether he could replace Floyd Schofield, who had to withdraw from the fight because of his illness.

A 29-year-old from Yorkshire, who is still working as an electrician in the north of England, did not hesitate to ask if he wanted to fight, which could change his life.

Padley was on tools on Tuesday morning. He did not know this, but in the next 24 hours he would be in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, preparing to become the opportunity to become the world champion.

“I was at work this morning, I did some training. I just put tea with my fiance, “said Padley at ESPN in Riyadh.

“I was about to eat … So the meal was omitted because I had to make a control mass! I had to jump through several rims and get here, but I wouldn’t have it otherwise.

“It was a standard week working in everyday work. Of course, I still train boxing, because that’s what I live and breathe. Tuesday evening a dream call. this?

This shows Padley’s involvement in sport that he was still in shape and with the right weight to fight in three days.

Padley had the best career over Marek Chamberlain at Wembley Stadium in September. This victory was considered nervous. If he manages to get something against Stevenson (22-0, 10 KO), it would probably be one of the largest in all sports.

Stevenson is No. 3 in the ESPN ranking, which is a lightweight warrior and 9 on pounds for pounds.

Asked if he really believes that he could defeat the WBC master, Padley said: “Definitely. I still train, even though I didn’t have a camp as such and I’m not as refined as I should, I still train all the time.

“I am still pairing, I still do strength, intersection sessions and regular running. I am there [to win] And I know I can do it. “

Running adrenaline, Padley came to the gym on Thursday to best operate the constrained preparation time.

“I was a bit tired [Thursday] Morning. We landed at 7 am, I had some naps up to 10 [a.m.]. I think that pure excitement and everything that happens is just masking something like that. So I’m just going. “

Stevenson’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, welcomed Padley for saving the fight.

“I’m so glad that Josh Padley is sincere with you,” said Hearn ESPN.

“He defeated Marek Chamberlain – who was his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] miniature project. He earns enough money to buy a nice house, pay off a mortgage and fight for the championship.

“By the way, it will give it all. He just won’t come in or hide, he will give Shakur.

“[But] Shakur is Shakur and I expect it to look great. “

“Hero” of the narrative of Eddie Hearna cannot mask the reality of the defeat of Conor Benn with Chris Eubank Jr.

Promoter Eddie Hearn poured compliments for the sitting Conor Benn, calling him “Hero in Great Britain” Comparing him to Father Nigel, after losing to Chris Eubank Jr. Last Saturday evening at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.

A real picture?

Hearn did not say what the “hero” Benn is or how he intends to keep his career after he loses the rematch with Eubank Jr. He talked about winning the world titles of Conor in 147 and 154 at a press conference after the fight, but there is a lack of details about who will fight to capture these belts.

154-Funts of the Champions

– Bakhram Murtazaliev – IBF
– Sebastian Fundor – WBC and WBO
– Terence Crawford – WBA
– Yoenis Tellez – WBA while

147-Funts of the Champions

– Jaron “Boots” Ennis – IBF and WBA
– Brian Norman Jr. – WBO
– Mario Barrios – WBC

Despite having Two handicaps In the case of weight and fight with the older warrior, Benn (23-1, 14 KO) was heavily overtaken and overtaken by Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KO), losing a 12-round unanimous decision through the results 116-112 x 3.

After the fight, Hearn complained that the results were too wide, saying to the media that some people thought Benn won or that it should be a draw. However, when talking about a rematch, Hearn said he wasn’t sure if Conor should go to the next exhausting fight.

This kind suggests that he does not think he can win. If I were Benna’s promoter, I would realize that it would be equally bad in the rematch with Eubank Jr, but probably worse. Conor beat in 11 and 12 last Saturday.

The inner game of Eubank Jr and the constant high volumetroot hit were too substantial for Benn. In the rematch, beating will probably start faster because Eubank Jr. He would immediately fight inwards, and Benn beat him potentially knocking him out.

“Hero” speech

“Believe me, when I speak, you are a hero in Great Britain,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor, talking to the sitting Conor Benn in a room full of media after losing with Chris Eubank Jr. Last Saturday in London. “Not only because you went there and had fun.

“Until the last bell, you have not stopped trying to win the fight. You are an AF **** machine, buddy. [Benn]It can be better than you, buddy, said Hearn, he still exaggerates with the Ultra-Glazura Conor Benn, saying that he could be better than his legendary father, Nigel Benn. “It was exactly the same. You’re in trouble, you’re just fucking.”

“We both lost,” said Conor, entering him by Hearna.

Image: Riyadh Rumbles to Discontent: Fans Slam Canelo Alvarez's 'Disappointing' Undercard and Mismatch Against William Scull

Social media fans destroy Canelo Alvarez’s “disappointing” fight with a super middle champion IBF William Scull on Saturday, May 3, and the event starts at 23:00 ET / 8 PT, Live DAZN PPV for PPV for PPV USD 59.99 In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday, the Canelo coefficient is a rematch between recently knocked out the super medium weight Jaime Munguia and Bruno Surace. This fight did not cause any noise with fans, which means that it was a waste to include it in such a significant position in the hope of attracting fans to buy an event.

The event can be bought with the Ryan Garcia vs. Friday card. Rolando “Rolly” Romero as part of the weekend knockout package USD 90.

Indigent support for the Canelo program

– Canelo Álvarez vs. William Scull
– Bruno Surace vs. Jaime Mungia
– Martin Bale vs. Ephrace ajagba
– Badou Jack vs. Ryan Rozicki
– Marco Verde vs. Michel Polina
– Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Guerrero

Mismatch in Riyadh

As for the idea, for Canelo to create a false marketing noise for his circus fight with 37-year-olds Terenca Crawford In October he should fight David Benavidez. It would be an ideal way for Alvarez to build what Alaalshikh calls Turki “Great fight” against Crawford. However, Canelo does not want to fight Benavidez because there is too much risk. Terenka is not popular enough among random who buy PPV events in the USA to make it a “great fight”. Casuals want Canelo to show courage and fight with Benavidez.

People believe that the justification of Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) is used to fight with the unclear, badly lost William Scull (23-0, 9 KO), saying that this is the undisputed championship of 168 pounds to enhance interest in the Terence Crawford match in October, it is not enough.

Fans are not impressed by fighters who are currently capturing the undisputed championships, perceiving them as maneuvered for these positions with skilful preparation by their cunning promoters. You see confined fighters such as Devin Haney, capturing the undisputed title in Lightweight.

Undenders, he doesn’t sell

People see a Canelo excuse to fight Scull for the undisputed championship as an excuse to express his record and obtain another gigantic day of payment without the risk of his skin before the best. This fight is only Foxhole, so that Canelo could hide To avoid Benavidez and other killers.

The justification of mismatch on Saturday, as was the case with the unquestioned title, fell on the deaf ears with fans, because they no longer care about this title. They consider it an exaggeration, because the winners are often defeated and are not the best.

Fans want to see how Canelo is fighting these killers:

– David Benavidez
– David Morrell
– Diego Pacheco
– Dmitryry Bivol
– Artur Beterbiev
– Oslyys Iglesias

Conor Benn has respect for Chris Eubank Jr., but still not his “cup of tea”

Published

London – Conor Benn said he has respect for Chris Eubank Jr. After their brutal battle 12 on Saturday, but his rival “is still not my cup of tea.”

Over three decades after their fathers Chris Eubank Sr. And Nigel Benn – who were present at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium – fought in two epic fights, their sons gave the British public to remember and added another chapter in their family competition.

Getting to their fight was personal and although Benn said he had respect for Eubank Jr., there is still a level of dislike of his opponent.

“She is still not my cup of tea, you know what I mean?” Benn said his press conference after the fight.

“I would still not sit down and talk to him. But of course it is [respect]. I mean … yes … of course there is respect. We went together 12 rounds, but … he is Chris, right? “I like it as much as possible, taking into account the situation.”

There is a rematch clause, and Benn said that considering how close their first competition was, he would like to take the second fight against Eubank Jr. However, Benn also said that he would look back to the welterweight to fight for the title of world champion, which is the preferred option of promoter Eddie Hearna.

“I would like to see how he returned to 147 [pounds] And fight for the title of world champion “listened to”. “We have shoes [Jaron Ennis] There and you want to unite and become unquestioned and get up. The belts will be available. “

Regardless of this, Hearn said that Benn is currently one of the biggest attractions of British boxing.

“I know British public opinion and I know what will happen. Even in failure, this kid has become a superstar today, on the other side of the Atlantic,” said Hearn.

“It’s not just about throwing him straight into the war, trying to avenge the failure in the weight class, in which he probably should not be.

“I think he can win a rematch and I think this is the biggest fight in Great Britain, one of the largest in the world.” But we have to think carefully about what we do. “
