The unquestioned champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) will fight for the meaning and redemption on May 24, when he debuts in a welterweight against WBO European Belt-Holder Eivow Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) in Glasgow. Card streams live on Dazn (22:00 Local / 17:00 et / 14:00 PT) with Hydro Ovo.

This is Taylor’s first fight in Scotland from the controversial Catterall saga, and this time there is no margin of error. He is older, heavier and moves away with losses. Let’s see if the crowd still believes.

Taylor’s Homecoming: Redemption Tour or Retirement Road?

Taylor was a long fall. After cleaning 140 victories over Baranchyk, Prograis and Ramirez, he slipped into the fog of disputed victories, injuries, and ultimately two clear paralysis – one for Cattell, and the other against Theofimo Lopez, where he looked like the spirit of his aged self.

Now at the age of 34 he enters the weight class full of wolves. And they will not respect his past. They will test what is left of the present. Essuman may not be an elite, but it is not pressure. And if Taylor looks flat, tired or selfless, Glasgow can quickly become hostile.

It’s more than just a return. It’s a career. Win and he can get another gigantic payment day. Lose, and the conversation turns away from “What next?” “What went wrong?”

Essuman’s shot to destroy heritage – and he knows about it

Essuman is not here for payment. The former British champion, Commonwealth and IBF Euro, rebuilt after his only defeat with Harry Scarff last year. Since then, Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughana knocked down: he explained: he wants to fight at the level.

He has an engine, has experience and has already crashed the jaws in the ring. Ask Danny Ball. Essuman is not afraid of Glasgow. He fought under the lights in Wembley and Manchester. The scene will not scare him – and the name of Taylor will not be either.

If he wins, he jumps straight into the WBO mixture at 147. If he loses? It will continue to come out with greater credibility than when he came in.

The invincible British heavyweight Moses Itauma (11-0, 9 KO) returns on May 24, in the face of the former NFL linebacker, Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO) in Hydro Ovo in Glasgow.

Balogun brings a size, not danger – Moses should have fun through it

Ituma destroyed Demesey McKean in two minutes of flat in December in Riyadh. Since then, fans have been waiting for months for their next victim. Go to Mike Balogun: Southpaw, a tough guy, a padded record and the best known for flattening by Murat Gasssiev in less than six minutes.

Sure, Balogun has 21 wins, but let’s not pretend that these names mean something. His last trip? Winning points over Lamont Capers – a walking definition of a “safe and sound opponent”.

His is a presentation. Balogun is here to eat blows, try to get it and may survive long enough to test Itauma’s patience. If possible at all.

Moses is marching – but the real danger is approaching forward

The golden boy Queensberry wants the belt. And with another dominant KO, he approaches the title eliminator. If he looks edged, you can put names such as Hrgovic, Makhmudov or Kabayel, they begin to float in the backsthrough.

For now, Balogun is speed. But Ituma not only defeats opponents – he erases them. And if the Balogun becomes sloppy or conceited for a second, he can wake up staring at the lights.

It is no longer about proving yourself. It’s about ticking fields until great fights land.

The face of fear: the intimidating view of Daniel Dubois opposite Usyk announces another failure

Published

Image: The Face of Fear: Daniel Dubois' Intimidated Gaze Across From Usyk Foreshadows Another Defeat

The IBF heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois, is 61 days after the WBA meeting, WBC and WBO Oleksandr Utyk champion in a rematch for the undisputed 19 July championship at Wembley Stadium in London, England. During the last meeting with the promotion of this event, Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) looked noticeably intimidated by Utyt.

Dubois’s trust seems shocked

Daniel’s expression said everything. He knows he can’t win and his career is heading towards trouble. The second loss for Utyk will solve everything that the British warrior has done thanks to his pseudo-rebidling work in the last two years. Return from the second defeat to Oleksandra may not be possible, especially if he gives up again. Fans would never forget the third defeat of this kind.

It can be said that 27-year-old Dubois does not have the same confidence in this fight as in his last three competitions against Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller. Daniel resigned in the ninth place, when it happened when he last fought Usyk in 2019 in Wroclaw in Poland.

Can Dubois overcome the tag “resignation”?

When Usyk began to place him on Dubois in ninth place, he bowed to me, showing that he was not a warrior. For the second time Dubois gave up in battle. Public boxing got stuck with a falling label and is still there.

Although he won his last three fights, he was not in the face of the world -class opposition. Joshua and Miller are washed. Hrgovic has never been tested before, and he defeated the second level fighters to build his CV.

Usyk wants this fight to regain its undisputed heavyweight championship, which makes him a three -time winner of four lanes. It needs these four lanes to escalate the interest of fans of the potential trilogy match with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. This is less crucial for a free boxing fan, if Usyk goes to these fights as the undisputed master, but people with ultra-Hardcore care about it.

“I don’t care especially about reacting to anything that Daniel Dubois says, taking into account that when Daniel challenged AJ, he said that he went to the hospital on a stretcher in an ambulance. SecondsSpeaking of the commentator Tony Bellew. “It seems to me that sometimes he is a nasty b *****. That’s all.”

Manny Pacquiao advises Devin Haney to prioritize entertainment over tactics for safety

Image: Manny Pacquiao Advises Devin Haney to Prioritize Entertainment Over Safety-First Tactics

Manny Pacquiao informed Devin Haney about his need “Tempt fans” during his fights. The 46-year-old former world champion with eight resolution Pacquiao was asked about his thoughts about the last Haney competition against Jose Ramirez on May 2 after he was told that he threw very blows.

Lost entertainment in Haney

26 -year -old Haney cast only 224 shots into the whole fight, and his clash was seen as the most dull on the Times Square card in Up-to-date York. Although the crowd was petite, chosen by VIP, many fans ordered an event in Dazn PPV. The reaction in social media to Devin’s results was negative. Several fighters came to the defense of Haney, but most of them are those who routinely utilize the same dull style as he showed.

Pacquiao is known for its high performance and aggressive style of fighting, even against a larger, stronger opposition. So the dull, most essential style of Haney’s fight is foreign, as the Filipino Superstar fought during her professional career. He placed fans in the first place, wanting to entertain them, and would never fight as Devin did it against ramists and many other fights.

“In boxing, you entertained fans. Boxing became popular because of the support of people’s fans,” said Manny Pacquiao to media Asked about the low result of Devin Haney in his fight with Jose Ramirez on May 2 at Times Square, Up-to-date York.

Haney: incapable of the Pacquiao model

It is unlikely that Devin and his father, Bill Haney, would listen to Pacquiao’s message. Haney cannot change his style of fighting without a physical break and sending a career to junk. There is no power or chin to fight aggressively like manny Advocates, which he should.

“Make sure the fans are satisfied with every fight you give them. This is a balance. You can’t pay off all the victims you have, and then people are not satisfied,” said Pacquiao.

Devin did not fight many high -caliber fighters during his professional career. Some would say that his popularity is guilty of selectively adapted to beating the opposition and competing in most of his career in the weight class below his frame. He mainly competed in lightweight, but would look great after hydration. From the time the transfer to 140 and 147 Haney has fought with 35-year-old Regis Prograis, Ryan Garcia and Jose Ramirez.

The last 10 Haney’s fights

Chris Eubank Jr and Promoter Frank Warren said that the claim for defamation against the boxer was “resolved”.

In September, Eubank Jr and Warren clashed when they divided the stage at a press conference for the first fight of Artur Beterbaver from Dmitry Bivol. Eubank Jr was present when he was preparing for competition based on a card in Saudi Arabia.

Eubank Jr freed a series of offensive comments directed to Warren during the event for which he later apologized.

After the event, Eubank Jr, promoted by Ben Shaloma in Boxxer, said in a statement: “I would like to withdraw my incorrect statements and apologies to Frank Warren.”

The head of Queensberry Warren said in a statement that although he had accepted an apology, Eubank suffered for slander and defamation at the London court.

Neither Warren nor Eubank participated in court in April at the initial hearing in order to determine the “natural and ordinary meaning” of Eubank comments, as well as subsequent posts in social media.

The case seems to be solved now, and the couple releases a common storage space on Monday.

“Frank Warren and Chris Eubank JR confirm that the proceedings regarding defamation against Chris Eubank JR have been amicable.

“With these resolved proceedings, both Frank Warren and Chris Eubank JR are waiting for a positive, professional relationship in the future.”

Eubank Jr recently fought in April, winning a point decision against rival Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
