The teenager becomes the youngest in the history of Pro Boxer and wins in his debut in Thailand

Published

on

Callum Dan became the youngest professional boxer in Great Britain in just a month after his 16th birthday and provided an impressive debut win in Thailand. After celebrating the 16th birthday in March and among the preparations for GCSE, Dan, under the mentoring of coach Marlee Dann, he is already waving with a paid boxing debut during the Easter break. Dan dominated in a welterweight match with the Thai opponent Noy vongsoudouunag, stopping the fight within two rounds in the Thai boxing gym based in Tanyaburi, on the outskirts of Bangkk, April 6.

Callum sent his debutant to the canvas, and then fired a dam in the second round, which led to a plain KO. The teenager remains in Thailand, preparing for the next professional meeting on April 24, before he returns home to Plymouth. Although he does not qualify for the British Board of Control license due to age restrictions, Dan secured his professional status through the Thai Federation, which has been accepting fighters from the age of 15.

Marlee Dann, who trains Callum in Intense ABC in Honicknowle, praised the origin of his intern over 30 amateur fights. Dann’s coach said Plymouth live: “Callum was an elite amateur as a junior and as youth, but at that moment he began to disappear from the gym – I talked to his dad, who was worried that he was turning away from boxing, so I said that I would talk to him.”

“He just told me that he had 30 amateur competitions, he never felt like he was outclassed, but some decisions did not go, and being from the southwest, everything is against us.

“So I talked to his dad, who talked to several friends, and he managed to get sponsorship to assist pay flight and accommodation costs, and I brought him here. He had his debut of the sixth and has his next fight 24.

“He is not licensed as part of the British boxing council, he is licensed as part of the Thai Federation, but it is not really different.”

Callum will probably have to return to Southeast Asia to the box until he reaches 18 years, but by that time his trainer thinks that he can be well oriented in fighting in longer competitions-with amateurs constrained to only three rounds.

Dann said: “I think the key to this is that he jumps over other people … Callum could be 11-0 in the first 18 months to two years, so before he is 18 years venerable, he will overtake boxers who spent years building their skills and their record.

“[In the UK] I could have Callum in the gym for two years, convince him to box as amateurs for the next two years, if he changed a professional at the age of 18, he must follow the same path as other boxers who spent years fighting only three times a year.

“It’s windy – you look at other boxers and end your career because of inaction. They move from the fight as amateurs every week or every other week to when they can fight three times a year.”

“But how do you adapt to the fight with four three, six three or eight three rounds, when you only fight three times a year? Or four, if you are lucky?” He talks about elated Asian connections that opened the door: “I am in a elated position in which I met very good people in Asia, and gave me the opportunity because they consider me their friend to put my fighters.

“Callum is now the youngest professional boxer in Great Britain at the age of 16 and month and is one win and without failures.

“I think that the direction is that when you look at one of the greatest boxers of all time and at what age they became professionals, they were relatively newborn – not everyone, but most of them.”

Dann derives inspiration from the iconic master: “Look at Manny Pacquiao – he had 10 fights and 10 wins at the age of 17. So when you sit there, you think:” If it worked for him, why he can’t act for other people ” – there is nothing wrong with getting out of other paths and other routes.”

“At the end of the day, if you had 30 amateur competitions, you know if you are created for professionals-if you are the best in the country or the best in Europe, you know what you are able to do. And if you have faith in yourself, you know where you have to adapt.

“The most vital thing is that the person you have is a training in the gym, sparring with elite people and being what they should be. If they are to be a six -story or eighty warrior, they must be trained to be that.

“Callum is very lucky because he has the right tips at his life at a point where he could either go left or go to the right. He either goes away from boxing and accepts that he was a decent amateur, or turns right and chases a dream that is crazy, but I think most people from the Western world are not advanced to their ambition.

“For him he chased ambitions, this is a dream for the next three to five years, and if it delays him, what his story.”

Ryan Garcia returns to the ring in two weeks in Times Square after more than a year after the ring, although he is already looking at great things for the future.

Garcia will take over the polarizing Rolando Romero in the main event Historical New York program, which also depicts his rival Devin Haney, who receives Jose Ramirez as the main support.

And although another duel between “King Ry” and Haney seems almost certain, if both men emerged, the popular Californian admitted that there is one more, perhaps a more hard challenge on his radar.

Philadelphia Christmas, Jaron Ennis added the title of WBA Eimantas Stanionis to his IBF belt after a stunning performance in Atlantic City last weekend, and the Lithuanian corner waved six, one -sided shells.

And when asked Fight Hub tv As for the possibility of himself and the “shoes” blocking the corners in the future, Garcia seemed interested in this idea.

“100%. Another great fight, another mega event.

“That’s what I like to do, so I don’t avoid anyone who did it too. He looked good [last weekend].

“I think Stanionis is an ideal warrior to which you can look good, of course he is there to get to, not a lot of defense, but Boots did what he had to do and looked great.

“I can’t wait for great competition in the future.

“He [get hit with punches]. I mean, but he is a large boy, so he took them so well, but in this sport he only takes one good. “

The fight against Garcia is almost certainly for the future, considering that Ennis expressed the desire to first prosecute other masters in 147 pounds.

However, if both men remain in the winning column, the clash between the couple may be one of the largest in the entire boxing.

Chris Eubank SR sprays and begs his son to dismiss Conor Benna Fight

Published

Chris Eubank SR tried to stop his tears, discussing the upcoming fight of his son with Conor Benne, claiming that Chris Eubank Jr is only “for money”. Benn and Eubank are to match the Tottenham Hotspur stadium next weekend, including what is described as one of the biggest fights in the history of Great Britain.

But the fight has been criticized, and many, including Eubank SR, suggests that the discrepancies of the mass between the steam are too huge. Benn will have to be promoted from his ordinary division of a 147 pounds to an average of 160 pounds for a competition, and Eubank Jr will have to fall.

Sharing his fears during an interview with IFL TV, Eubank SR explained: “I am so hurt by what he had happened to him, and this is the situation in which my son is now putting in. Connor, they destroy his career if they have not destroyed her yet,” said a boxer when fighting with tears.

“Heritage, long -lasting effect of a specific event, what I and [Nigel] Benn was not a bad language, we didn’t get into the fight outside the studio. Because we had to be noble. It’s a disgrace, if it is not a disgrace that of you, media, will say that this is not a disgrace? Fight me. It’s a disgrace. “

Probably Eubank SR referred to his own fight with Michael Watson in 1991, which meant that the first life -threatening brain. Watson fell in the ring and spent 40 days in a coma before finally regained consciousness.

Eubank SR continued: “We are not a country of peacocks, we are Great Britain, I rest … He [Eubank Jr] I don’t listen to me, I only look at money. What dad does, if a son cannot listen, dad must come and talk directly to the audience. My son will not listen. For him, it is drawn into this “no matter how many millions I can earn.”

Promoter Benna, Eddie Hearn, previously dealt with criticism of weight, stating: “The weight is 160, i.e. the burden of Chris Eubanek, it is a much better hydration for him than the last time.

Eubank JR is supposedly on the bank TalkSport.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury camp in non -compliance

Published

on

Eddie Hearn is sure that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will eventually take place – but one source close to Gypsy King claims that “he never fights again.” There are many calls to the appearance of Joshua in the ring against the former heavyweight master, but the fight against many money was more unlikely due to the premature pension of Fury after his second defeat Oleksandra Usyk. The 36-year-old announced that in January 2025 he was moving away from the ring after Usyk retained his WBA titles (Super), WBC, WBO, IBO and The Ring Heavywweight Against Fury.

However, between two British warriors for a long time, and the promoter of Joshuzue, Hearn, believes that this can still happen despite road blockades. BBC Sport said: “This is a kind of fight that is probably made over DM between two, text or connection.

“It’s like” Look, do you feel like? “That’s all.

Joshua and Fury were beaten by Usyk in the past. 35-year-old Joshua has been outside the ring since September 2024 after he was knocked out by the current owner of the title IBF Daniel Dubois. Hearn admitted that although there are no titles to fight, the fight would still be an amazing spectacle.

He added: “None of them are masters. Both are huge names, both in the back room, but more importantly, both are still relatively in the perfect side.

“Before AJ lost to Dubois, everyone said it was the best AJ we’ve ever seen. And the Fury never really showed any signs of falling against Uyek. He was just defeated by the first pound number for the pound.”

However, the former promoter of Fury, Bob Arum, is convinced that Gypsy King will never return to the ring, and this time the retirement is indefinite. Fury retired in his career, but Arum is adamant that his elderly customer has passed the need to fight again.

The American lawyer said: “If I were a man to the plants, I would say that he would never fight again. Marvin Hagler had an expression on his face -” a luxurious guy who goes to bed in silk pajamas, does not get up in the morning to do road work. “

“Tyson, really, I don’t think to get up in the morning and perform road work and undergo an experience of economic training when he doesn’t have to do it anymore.”

Despite the retirement of Fury and the time of Joshua away from the ring, the fans are still calling a couple to lace gloves and face each other. Hearn, however, does not seem to be nervous that this fight happened because he thinks that the defeat of the Fury can end Joshue’s career for good.

He added: “If AJ lost again, [the Fury fight] It is not really. Perhaps his career is not, so we are not in any spy. “

Hearn also rejected Arum’s claims that Fury would not fight again because he claimed that the promoter and boxer “never really had the closest relationships.”

“Tyson looks in great shape. I think he said that one day he trains twice a day, so it would be very straightforward for him to go to a 10-week camp,” said Hearn. “Another AJ decision will be very crucial. I hope it is Tyson Fury – we’ll see what the boxes of boxing allow.”
