Chris Eubank Sr.The legendary was the world champion in two weight, who was carrying British boxing with dignity, pride and class until the 90s, gave the brutal message to his alienated son, Chris Eubank Jr.Just a few days before the fight with Conor Benn.
Talking with SecondsThe iconic character was not refrained – by putting the truth few in today’s sport he has the courage to say.
Eubank Sr. About the egg incident: “I didn’t teach you it.”
Eubank Sr., a man who lived in the Code of Boxing Nobility, was outraged by the behavior of the junior in accumulation, where he broke the raw egg in Benna’s face:
“Junior, you break the egg on the face of this guy … I taught you this? I didn’t teach you this. Who taught you? Did Karen teach you?”
He explained that this behavior is far below the standards that he fought for maintenance:
“It’s shameful! I will stand in your corner? You have to be enraged! I would never be in your corner, you are a disgrace!”
A fine worth 100,000 pounds was not enough to think about what Eubank SR. He perceived as a betrayal of all boxing – and his name – means.
About promoters and boxing: “Is it who we are now?”
Eubank Sr., one of the few who still defends the spirit of noble art, got into today’s promotional scene:
“These promoters do not care about boxing and the standards of boxing and noble art, which is boxing. Without a bad language, without hitting people with eggs, and then promoting. Are we right now? Has it appeared now? Are we what we are? Is this who we are? “
He was not only disappointed – he was outraged by the way the current generation is conducted astray:
“Because if we are it, what your children will be.”
In a matter sanctioned by the fight: “You are all going in the wrong way.”
Eubank Sr. He made it clear – he doesn’t believe that this fight should even happen:
“147 against 160 is contrary to the rules. When Kell Brook was forced to fight GGG, it is contrary to the rules. This boy shattered the nest of the eyes. This is happening. For them, promoters are only a game, but for warriors it is a way of life. “
He called the whole system of abandoning the foundations with which he and the other great people fought for protection:
“It looks like I’m the only person who says:” Stay for a moment, guys. You all go in the wrong way. “ We have to go the other way. In this way, where they take you, he is down and I don’t do it. “
About his heritage and the birth of the success of Matchroom
Eubank Sr. He also reminded everyone about what he brought to this sport – something that the promoters apparently forgot:
“I created Matchroom. Matchroom would not replace other promoters, if not for the spirit that led me to my career.”
He turned directly to Barry Hearn:
“Barry, I gave you this. You helped me and helped you. Without me I couldn’t give you a gift, but you gave it to one of your family members. Where are you, Barry? Are you content with all this? “
Refusing the game: “I won’t be a partner.”
Asked if he appeared in the corner of the juniors or whether he would appear at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Eubank Sr. He was crystal clear:
“I will not be a partner in their stupidity, to their circus.”
He proudly stands in front of the circus, into which newfangled boxing turned into:
“Everything I did for boxing, I should force it to any circus? This is the wrong statement. It’s a disgrace.”
Last word: respect the legend
Chris Eubank Sr. He is not just a former master-he is a standard carrier of what he once meant boxing and what it should be.
The fighter who won the belts in the right way. A man who respectfully treated this sport and his fans. A legend that fought with the five titles of the world a year, not three fights in three years.
His voice may now sound alone in the era of acrobatics in social media and circus promotions, but do not make a mistake: Chris Eubank Sr. He is a giant whose rules are towering over the mess, today’s boxing often becomes.
You may not agree with everything he says – but you can’t deny that he speaks from a place where few others even remember.
Eddie Hearn confirmed today that July 12 is the date of Shakur Stevenson to defend his delicate WBC title against William Zeped on the Ring Card in Modern York. Hearn says Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) met with Turka Alalshikh this week in America and they “Everything has worked out.”
Eddie says that this week he will meet Turka to discuss the Shakur-Zepeda fight at July 12. This is a match that Stevenson has recently called to arouse the interest of fans to unite him and the WBA master Lightweight Gervont Davis.
Patience was tested in Modern York
Fighting Zeped (33-0, 27 KO) can go back to Stevenson because he will force him to fight for the first time in his eight-year career. Zepeda cuts off the ring too well so that Shakur can utilize his ordinary three -time style. If he decides to escape from Zepeda, on July 12 he will be booed in Modern York.
Modern Yorkers are not tolerant of runners. The natives from Newark are more patient in watching fighters who do not engage like Shakur, but the fans of Modern York insist to see the action and get value for their money. They will inform him what they think about his primitive style striking.
So, if Stevenson stays in motion for 12 rounds instead of standing and fighting how Tevin Farmer against Zepeda, he will be thunderous. Turks can live to regret using it for this fight, because it is a bad style for delicate, defensive, non-involving Stevenson. It is better for fighting delicate hitters such as Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan.
“July 12 [for Stevenson vs. Zepeda]. They were to make a program on Monday evening. I believe that – said the promoter Eddie Hearn Stamping ground About the agreed date Shakur Stevenson in defense of his delicate title WBC against William Zeda.
Jersey Commute Blues
Hearn did not say if Shakur-Zepeda would be a fight against the card or the main headliner on the card on July 12. This is risky, putting it as the main event, because Zepeda fans are on the west coast in the Los Angeles region, not in Modern York. Stevenson comes from Modern Jersey and it is not clear if his fans would be willing to cope with the headache associated with access to Modern York
“I know his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] They met with Shakur Stevenson this week in America, “said Hearn.” They have developed everything, which is great news. This is a great fight, Shakur vs. Zepeda. We are waiting for it. I know that July 12 will always be a proposed ring card in Modern York.
We will meet his Excellency on Tuesday to discuss it, 5v5 and all kinds. I can’t wait to welcome him in the city because several weeks have passed since I saw him. When you see him, then magic occurs. I can’t wait to catch up this week, “said Hearn.
World Boxing News analyzes whether Deontay Wilder has ever been considered a pound as the first warrior in the world.
Formable Forbes writer claimed that Wilder was the current P4P dog before the clash of Tyson Fury.
Forbes placed Wilder nad Canelo, Terenca Crawford, Nayya Inoue, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk. This movement was probably more caused by the desire to draw attention.
Of these three, the three united at that time in the division, and four are not unquestioned.
At that time, WBN kept Wilder under great respect as the best weighty weight on the planet after ten basic defensive title WBC. But in no way Wilder took first place.
The pound for the pound is reserved only for the best boxers. Wilder had many achievements before.
Despite this, Forbes emphasized Wilder’s last win.
They said: “When we are going to the last month of 2019 with many solid fights in Ledger, we have a moment to stop and list the ten best fighters in sport.
“After another stunning victory of KO, I think it’s time for everyone to stop criticizing Deontay Wilder for the lack of conventional boxing skills and began to appreciate his dominance.
“How high is Deontay Wilder on the pounds list for pounds? Look.”
Forbes P4P TOP 10 – December 2019
10-man Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KO) -WBN took 5
9-Fennades Golovkin (40-1-1, 35 KO)-WBN from the 6th ranking
8-ERROL SPENCE JR. (26-0, 21 KO)-WBN took 4th place
7-Jaan Francisco Estrada (40-3, 27 KO)-WBN Ranking 9
6-ALEXANDR ULEK (17-0, 13 KO)-WBN occupies the 8th ranking
5-Canelo Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KO)-WBN took 1 ranking
4-Naoya Inoue (19-0, 16 KO)-WBN in the 3rd ranking
3-Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KO)-WBN in the 2nd ranking
2-Tell Crawford (35-0, 26 KO)-WBN from the 7th ranking
1-Deontay Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KO)-WBN occupied 10
They added to Wilder: “Forget about his skinny legs. Forget about the scale to become wild when the opponent hurts.
“You just have to know that Wilder’s opponents have the smallest margin of the error of every warrior on the planet.
“Luis Ortiz saw it first hand in his rematch with the WBC master last month.
“One is enough and no warrior embodies this concept literally than Wilder. The first fight with Tyson Fury for the King’s Gypsy, but Wilder is still officially invincible.
“I have no doubt that when Wilder faces a fury in a rematch in February, he will win by Ko. In addition, I am convinced that Wilder also struck Andy Ruiz or Anthony Joshu.”
Jake Paul will fight the cruiser’s weight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. In the 10-round headliner, live in Dazn PPV on Saturday, June 28 at the Honda Center, Anaheim, California. In the main support of Gilberto, Ramirez will defend his WBA and WBO Cruiser Wweight titles against Yuniel Dorticos.
Paul (11-1, 7 KO) will see what the former medium weight master WBC Chavez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KO) After 23 years in the ranks of Pro. 29-year-old Chavez Jr. Recently, he looked good, winning the last two fights with non-home names. Julio Jr. He returned last year after he was inactive for three years and looked impressive, defeating Uriah Hall by a unanimous decision on July 20, 2024.
Former IBF champion and WBA Cruiser at Reweight Dorticos (27-2, 25 KO) entered the mandatory place of WBA, winning his last three fights. Not youthful at the age of 39, born in Cuba, Dorticos still has many power and technical skills that can give “Zurdo” ramirez.
Two guys with whom Dorticos lost in his career, Miris Bliedis and Murat Gassiev, were great punchers. They had a kind of power that made Dorticos warn the war with them. Ramirez (47-1, 30 does not hit any of these guys. It is possible that Dorticos can win if it does not disappear behind schedule.
33-year-old Ramirez again from the time of moving to the Weight Division in 2023. He won three fights since the move, beating Joe Smith Jr., Arsen Goulamirian and Chris Billiam-Smith. The last fight of Zurdo with Billiam-Smith last year, on November 16 in Riyadh, was punished for him. He took many weighty blows from the British warrior and was forced to rely on the change of sides to win a 12-round unanimous decision.
I am going against the former champion, whom Conman Canelo could not end, “said Jake Paul.” Chávez Jr. is Mexico, but I, El Gallo de Dorado, I have the will and heart of great Mexican fighters. On Saturday, June 28, live in Dazn Pay-Per-View, I will make Julio and I will make it in the way Jr. never.
