Filip Hrgovic defeats Joe Joyce in a unanimous decision
Published
1 year agoon
Filip Hrgovic regained a certain momentum, winning a unanimous decision on points over Joe Joyce, who crashed in the fourth defeat in five fights.
Joyce (16-4, 15 KO) is threatened with withdrawal to the heavyweight stage, because his career continued to develop after Hrgovic (18-1, 14 KO) won dozens 97-93, 96-95 and 98-92 at Manchester in Manchester, England.
The 32 -year -old HRGOVICA (32 years) was not firm from Zagreb in Croatia, but he did enough to regain his career after the first professional defeat in June last year, when he stopped him in the cuts of the English rival Joyce Daniel Dubois, who is currently the wwwf wwgweight wwwf champion.
“I took this fight in a brief time and I wasn’t ready,” said Hrgovic.
“I am looking forward to great fights in the future. This guy [Joyce] It is like steel, he made many enormous shots. This guy beat Dubois, I want a rematch from Dubois. I did very badly in the last fight and one day I want a rematch. “
Abel Sanchez from California was the first time in the corner of HRGovica and there is still some work if the Croatian is to become one of the leading boxers of the heavyweight division.
But Hrgovic still landed in better quality blows than Joyce, who suffered another failure after the defeat of points with Derek Chisor last year and loss of detention from Zhilei Zhang in 2023. Joyce later said that he would hurt, despite the lost trend and punishment, which he accepted in recent fights.
Joyce, Silver Silver Olympic medalist in 2016 with Putney in London, looked like threats in recent fights and did not take Hrgovic to find gaps in his defense. Hrgovic landed with a ponderous right hand in round 1, which seemed to be temporarily stunned by Joyce, and more blows found the target before the bell.
However, Hrgovic suffered a cut above his left eye in round 1, and through the second one around his face blurred with blood. Since he lost the previous fight with Dubois in cuts, it was both a promising and disturbing beginning for HRGovica.
Joyce, who won the divided decision about Hrgovic when they were amateurs in 2013, was better in the second round, but caught pure shots in round 3.
Hrgovic landed quick combinations for round 4, but Joyce’s work indicator and individual arrows kept him fighting. Despite the landing of pure blows, Hrgovic was not able to seriously force Joyce, like when he landed a series unanswered to end the 8th rounds.
But Joyce looked close to succumbing in round 9, when Hrgovic landed with his right hand many times, and Croatian ended the last, 10th round under control.
Also on the account, Delicious Orie, who did not win a medal at last year’s Olympic Games, gave his professional career for a successful but indescribable start with winning at points on Milos Veletic.
The 27 -year -old Orie, who was born in Russia, but moved to England at the age of seven, was overtaken in the first fight in Paris last summer, after the start of the competition as a core No. 2. After this disappointment of Orie from Wolverhampton, he decided to end his amateur career and began his professional decision on 40-36 points.
Veletic (3-8, 1 KO), from Bosnia and Herzegovina, refused to Orie Ko, whom he hunted for most of the four-ways, but none of his hooks landed spotless enough to hurt the journeyman.
David Adeleye (14-1, 13 KO) detained Jeamie Tshikeva (8-2, 5 KO) in round 6 to get the free British heavyweight title.
Judge Ron Kearney called for a break and caught the left arm of Tshikevy during the clinch, but Adeleye continued the fight. When Tshikeva warned the judge’s instructions, Adelye landed a great left hook that sent Tshikeva to canvas. When Tshikeva got up, he was uncertain, and Adeleye threw himself at him to force another knocking, which prompted Kearney to the pomark 55 seconds to the round.
It was Adeleye’s second victory in a row since Fabio Wardley stopped him in seven rounds in October 2023.
It was also announced just before Joyce vs. Hrgovic that Wardley (18-0-1, 17 Kos), 30, Will Box Jarrell Miller from Fresh York (26-1-2, 22 Kos), 36-year-old WBA for the free title of WBA in his hometown of Ipsswich on Portman Road, at the Premier League Ipswich Town English house on June 7.
Wardley leaves the first round of the English rival of Frazer Clarke in October and will face his most experienced opponent in Miller, who convened with the former world champion Andy Ruiz during the last exit in August.

Frank Warren says Tyson Fury will do what Daniel Dubois did to Joshua

Frank Warren believes Tyson Fury will not only beat Anthony Joshua when the long-awaited heavyweight clash finally happens, but also stop him.
The All-British clash is scheduled for November, after a delay from its earlier summer date. Warren confirmed that Fury signed a contract for the fight in January, and both men are expected to undergo interim fights before the fight becomes official.
When asked how he sees the fight developing, Warren made it clear he expected Fury to win and pointed to Joshua’s knockout loss to Daniel Dubois as a major factor.
“I think Tyson will win,” Warren told Secondsout, predicting a Tyson Fury knockout over Joshua.
“I think Tyson will stop him.
“Did you see him fight Daniel Dubois? That gives me that confidence. I was sure Daniel Dubois would do it and he did it, and I’m sure Tyson will do the same in brief order, no matter what catches him.”
Earlier in the interview, Warren also suggested that Joshua was still feeling the effects of the Dubois defeat.
“He has the specter and cloud of what happened when he fought Daniel Dubois hanging over him. So, you know, he’s vulnerable if he gets caught now,” Warren said.
Joshua is scheduled to return on July 25 against Kristian Pregna, while Fury is scheduled to fight his own warm-up fight before November. Warren said the location for the proposed blockbuster has yet to be determined, though he confirmed the fight remains signed and will likely take place later this year, provided both heavyweights win their fights.

David Benavidez won the WBA and WBO cruiserweight world titles with his last fight, and the “Mexican Monster” may add to his collection in the future after one of the world champions was ordered to fight him under the threat of being stripped of his belt.
Last month I moved up from light heavyweight and dethroned Gilberto Ramirez in sensational styleBenavidez now holds the WBA (regular) and WBC featherlight heavyweight world titles, as well as his recently won unified cruiserweight crown.
As a result, the 29-year-old must decide whether he should return to the featherlight heavyweight scene or stay in the cruiserweight division, where he put in arguably the best performance of his career last time out after tuning out his fight with Jai Opetaia.
However, Benavidez was also named the WBC cruiserweight mandatory challenger and was ordered to fight WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian, another who has been linked to a fight with Opetaia.
If Mikaelian refuses to defend the title against Benavidez, the WBC president announced in an interview for the WBC magazine that he would strip the Armenian of the belt. Boxing Scene.
“The WBC order is Mikaelian against Benavidez. That’s all. If he fights again, he will waive his obligations to the WBC.”
“[There is no deadline] at this time. I will be talking to different managers. This is the highest priority. I look forward to making sure that happens.”
If Mikaeilian decides to continue the fight with Opetaia and thus lose the world title, it can be expected that Polish-born interim champion Michał Cieślak will benefit. Either he will be elevated to full world champion and ordered to make his first defense against Benavidez, or he will be included in a vacant belt fight against the three-division world champion.

Peter Fury claims Tyson used the wrong tactics against Usyk

“Well, he has his team there and I’m not criticizing anyone, but in both fights his tactics weren’t good,” Peter said in an interview with Sport Boxing.
“It worked out badly because look, if we have a little guy here who can throw, let’s say, a welterweight who can throw a thousand punches, and we have a heavyweight, will a heavyweight fighter throw a thousand punches with him? No.”
“Or maybe he’ll step in and take one good shot? Absolutely.”
“So basically yes, the strategy was just wrong. It doesn’t mean Usyk was better than him. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t say anything. You misunderstand the tactics and they are wrong.
“And you know, when you look at Usyk’s structure and what he does, when he distances himself and tries to box an elite boxer who is lighter than you and who is giving away pounds, he will ping you all over the shop. That should be noticed,” Peter Fury said.
Tyson Fury announced his return earlier this year and is expected to have a preparatory fight before the start of his scheduled series with Anthony Joshua. Queensbury promoter Frank Warren recently confirmed that Fury’s next opponent could be announced in the coming days, with the long-awaited fight against Joshua expected to take place later this year.
Usyk remains at the top of the heavyweight division and has been ordered to fight WBC interim champion Agit Kabayel. Warren also confirmed that negotiations for the fight are ongoing.
Fury’s third meeting with Usyk has not been announced. Peter Fury, however, remains convinced that the strategy used in the first two fights determined the result.
