Published

Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that weighty weight claimant Filip Hrgovic will break Joe Joyce “Inside Three or Four Runs” on Saturday, April 5, on a live cooperative in Manchester in England.
Joyce: Used?
Hearn believes that Joyce’s resistance has decreased from his two knockout losses from Zhilei Zhang and thousands of sparring rounds he did over the years. He notes that the blows that Veteran Derek Chisora hurt 39-year-old Joyce in their fight last summer on July 27, he would never have done it to him before in his career.
Saturday’s Joyce event vs. Hrgovic will be shown live in Dazn. The main card starts at 14.00 et/11 in the morning PT, and the main ring of the event goes around 17:00 et/2 pm entitled
“He had a very close fight with Derek Chisor. No knocking out [in round nine]It would be very close – said the promoter Eddie Hearn Stamping ground About the recent defeat of Joe Joyce with a 41-year-old Veteran Derek Chisory on July 27 last year.
“Derek Chisora is now mandatory for [IBF heavyweight] World Championship title. He just defeated Otto Wallin. [Hearn makes a face, giving his thoughts on Derek being the IBF mandatory to fight for a world title.]”
The arrows with which Joyce was hit against Chisorie were caused by the fact that he fought too close, leaving defense and was leisurely. He fought him wrong. A faster warrior would destroy Chisora inside, but Joyce is so leisurely at this stage of his career that he was defenseless.
It was still a close fight with the result determined by Chisor, who shot Chisor, but Joyce should not lose the warrior at this level. At best, he would beat any version of Chisora.
Impact resistance
“The problem concerns some warriors, and Joe is a good example. Joe was always leisurely in the ring. He never looked like this sensational, qualified warrior,” said Hearn. “In the past he was very tough, it can hit, he is a immense nodule and has a great chin. As his career progressed, his impact resistance has changed.
“Shots that hurt him against Chisorie had never hurt him before. Two [Zhilei] Zhang defeats thousands of rounds of weighty sparring were a problem. If you want to predict, he [Joyce] On Saturday he will be well defeated and I think it will be in three or four rounds, said Hearn.
Joyce was knocked out twice in the first round during his amateur career in 2013. However, he was able to return from these losses and avoid knocking until he met Zhilei Zhang in 2023.
There is no shame when he was knocked out by a great puncher, such as Zhang, because he would do the same with Anthony Joshua if he was associated with similar blows. Zhang is the only guy who stopped Joyce in professionals. In the defeat of the juggernaut against Chisorie, he was never threatened with knocking out. He was dropped in ninth place, but it was more knocking down.
HRGOVICA FREE
Hrgovic says that Joyce is now “antique”, does not look good and must “retire” after the fight on Saturday evening. Of course, Filip is on the same boat, he was knocked out in his last fight and wounded in the match against Demesey McKean on August 12, 2023.
Hrgovic defeated in his last fight, he was eliminated in the eighth round by Daniel Dubois on June 1 last year. If Joyce can stay long enough to land weighty arrows, he can wear Hrgovic to get space. Dubois is also not the fastest guy, but he forced the tempo at the Hrgovita who wore him.

Vasiliy Lomachenko announced a pension from boxing at the age of 37.
The Ukrainian sensation leaves the fifteenth career as probably the greatest amateur in history, and then the Three-Division World Champion after moving to the ranks of Pro.
“I am grateful for every victory and every failure, both in the ring and in life,” said Lomachenko in Video published on social media Thursday. “I am grateful that when my career is coming to an end, I gained clarity about the direction in which a person must take to achieve a real victory, not only in the ring.”
Lomachenko’s decision appears just over a year after his last fight, the 11th round of the former undisputed airy champion George Cambosos Jr. on the Arena in Perth, Australia. Preliminary talks about the hit with Gervont “Tank” Davis took place. The fight was never realized because, according to the Lomachenko manager, Egis Klimas, his warrior “had no motivation” and took the rest of 2024 to think about his future. As it turns out, his future will be a departure from sport.
“It was an honor for all of us in the best rank to promote Vasiliy Lomachenko’s pro -boxing career,” said Lomachenko, for many years, for many years in the boxeria boxeria Top Rank boxeria. “He was a generational champion and we will all miss his participation in sport.”
As an amateur, Lomachenko gathered a stunning 396-1 record, winning gold Olympic medals for his hometown of Ukraine in Beijing in 2008 and the Olympic Games in London in 2012. He decided to turn with a professional and signed a contract with the best promotions, debuting on October 12, 2013, beating Jose Ramirez by the fourth round knockout. Instead of slowly moved, Lomachenko fell into the title of World Champion in his second fight, against Master WBO WBO WBATEGHT WBO Orlando Salido. Lomachenko did not take place to become the first warrior who won the world champion in his second pro -fight when he abandoned his decision about demanding human. However, he would make his second attempt in the title of the world, defeating Gary Russell Jr. In his third professional fight to win the empty WBO championships on June 21, 2014.
“Hi-tech” created three successful title defense before he jumped to Junior Lightweight and took Roman Martinez for the title of WBO in 2016 and passing through the division, defending dominant against Nicholas Walters, Jason Sosie and Miguel Marriaga before the meeting Guillermo Rigondeaux Rigondeaux, with Nicholas, in the highly expected 2017. Lomachenko forced Rigondeaux to retire on a stool between rounds, the fourth in a row of the opponent, with whom he did to keep the title.
As a lasting stall at the top of pound rankings for pounds, Lomachenko moved another weight class and challenged Jorge Linares with a airy WBO title in 2018 and won by knockout in the tenth round. Lomachenko united the titles in a slight win against Jose Pedraza, Anthony Croll and Luke Campbell, but suffered a second career defeat when he faced Teofimo Lopez in 2020. Lomachenko would return to his winning path and won three more fights. Cambosos and ending his excellent career with a record of 18-3, 12 KO.
“You have always stood with me for my family. You shared in my victories and felt the pain of my losses. These losses are only more strongly,” said Lomachenko. “I would be underestimated not to thank you, my dear boxing fans from around the world. You have always supported me with passion through my most unforgettable fights.”

The main card starts at 13:30 ET live in Dazn, and walks with the Ring of the Main Event are expected around 16:30 ET.
Nelson Hysa def. Patrick Korte – KO2
Total mismatch. Hysa sentenced the corta from the opening bell, landing hefty hooks and tearing her head with each neat shot. Kortte knee for the first time after eating a pair of brutal right hands, and then barely survived the round. Hysa returned and finished work in the second – another knocking out, another dam, and the corta was completed. No response, without resistance, only one -sided beating.
Billy Adams Def. Alexander Morales-Punkty (40-36)
Adams boxed around Morales and did not lose a second. Delicate left on his feet, mixed the levels and cleaned his shots. Morales tried to close the gap, but he never put a glove on it. It was a routine, clinical and exactly what a potential potential customer should do. Nothing flashy – only four rounds of pure control.
Sam Gilley vs. Gideon onyenani-Draw (76-76)
Gilley could not cope with the pressure and looked lost in the trenches. Onyenani took him inside, turned him into a fight on a telephone boat and never let him comfortably. Gilley tried to hurt, but persecuted in survival mode. Ugly fight, truthful result?
UMAR Khan def. Moises Garcia-One-Wykna Decision (79–72)
Khan boxed well, but he looked like he was a sparring and he didn’t fight. Brisk combinations flashed, and then pierced long sections without urgency. Garcia had no answers, but he never looked close to folding. It was one-sided-and still forgotten.
Jack Williams Def. Fernando Joaquin Valdez-Punkty (40-36)
Uncomplicated work for Williams, who barely left the second equipment. He remained patient, keen and true against the guy with one win in seventeen attempts. Valdez consumed blows, but he was not a real threat. Williams drove through all four rounds, barely touched and pierced the neat sweeping without sweat.
Lillie Winch def. Katerina Dvorakova-one-like decision (60-54)
Winch kept him neat, keen and all companies from the opening bell. She bitten, turned and closed Dvorakov, without taking risks. The Czech warrior tried to force a fight, but he never passed the front door. Pure control – each round, every second.
