Is Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford Clash provides expectations?
Published
17 hours agoon

Terenka Crawford admits that he has a “arduous challenge” until 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed championship in the bulky weight of September 13. Bud Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) was inactive for most of the last four years, he did not look good in his last fight with Israil Madrimov, and he is after the wrong 30 years, approaching 40.
Risk of jumping in the weight class
Turks Alalshikh believed in Crawford enough to fight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO), but there is a good chance that this fight may not provide fireworks that he hoped. Crawford decided not to tune up to the weight class and moves around two divisions after a 13-month release against Alvarez.
There would be a lot of disappointment if the fight is dull when Crawford runs in the ring or if it is a complete mismatch, such as the fight of Alvarez with Jermell Charlo. Therefore, it is a bad idea to throw a lot of money on a smaller warrior to move up two or three weight classes. There is a risk that it will not be a humorous fight, especially when a smaller warrior refuses to gain experience in this weight class.
Coach Abel Sanchez and former world champion in four letters Mikey Garcia are skeptical about Crawford’s victory. They both noticed how bad he looked in his last fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3, winning a narrow 12-round unanimous decision of the results 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.
More exact of these results were 115-113, even though they did not tell the whole story. It could be a draw or a win for Madrimov, if he was not such a more popular warrior than he himself. Crawford now jumps at 14 pounds from 154 to 168 and again, without tuning in the weight class. Only he knows why he decided not to fight someone aged 168 to get experience.
Crawford at the face of Canelo
“On both sides it will be a arduous challenge. He will have some challenges. I will have some challenges. This is what the great fights are about. Which overcomes these challenges and uses the mistakes of the second warrior,” said Terenka Crawford, that you would take Warrior About his challenge of September 13 against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.
“I will be ready and I will be prepared. I am excited and I can’t wait,” said Crawford.

Fabio Wardley 243 vs. Justin Huni 248 – official weighing results for Dazna

June 6, 2025
Incorrect Fabio Wardley weighed 243 pounds, while his opponent Justis Huni took 248 pounds during the Friday weighing on the 12-round battle for the short-lived heavyweight title WBA on Saturday, June 7 at Portman Road football in Ipswich, England.
Wardley’s nose injury
Fabio’s nose still looked like today after his fight with the Clarke phrase in the first fight in 2024. This will be a goal for Huni (12-0, 7 KO) to strive on Saturday. Fortunately for Wardley (18-0-1, 17 KO), Huni is not a large blow, because he would hurt if he had any power. If you are Huni, you must be guided by this nose and change it earlier to make it complex for Wardley breathing.
Wardley-Huni, Dazn fight time
Wardley-Huni will be shown live in Dazn. The main card starts at 14:00 et / 11:00 Ringwals for the main event between Wardley and Huni are around 16:30 et / 13:30 entitled
The winner of the Saturday clash between Wardley and Huni will report to be fighting for the title of WBA “regular” at the end of 2025 against Kubrat Pulev or Michael Hunter.
Fans did not show much interest in Wardley vs. Huni for obvious reasons. Although the short-lived WBA title is threatened, people perceive this as a low -level competition with a heavyweight participation at the level at the bottom. They do not see it as a fight that should include this passing WBA belt, because none of these guys stood out on the world stage.
The massive Dillian Whyte decided not to fight on the Saturday card. According to Wardley, they were not able to find the right opponent to fight in a brief time.
That’s just as good. The way 37-year-old Whyte looked in the last few fights would probably lose every peeling that has been dug up again. At this slow stage of his career, Dillian has nothing and barely keeps things together with the support of a tender match.
“I see a mandatory shot at the title of world champion. After this fight, or maybe at the end of the year in January or February next year, I feel that I will be very in the first row to win the title,” said Fabio Wardley to IFL TV About what he expects if he wins in Justis Huni on Saturday.
Dillian Whyte withdraws from the card
“This is a breakthrough in my hometown. It would be fantastic to have it on the card. It was a relatively brief notification that finding him is a good caliber of the opponent. We just tried to do,” Wardley said about leaving the Dillian Whyte card.
“We didn’t just want to put it on because of this. He doesn’t want to fight with any aged body and knock them over in a round or two. It doesn’t benefit at all. So we couldn’t find a sufficient opponent of caliber for him in enough time. He worked on something great in the background, and for him to say. That’s why we thought that all that is not for you.

Vick, Iverson … Keyshawn? Norfolk Roots connect Davis with Sports Legends
Published
3 hours agoon
June 6, 2025
Las Vegas – a airy champion WBO Keyshawn Davis remembers the day when Whitaker Pernell “Sweet Pea” entered the recreation center in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, for a local boxing event. Davis, then preteen, was there to support his older brother Kelvin, who competed on the card. Keyshawn, Kelvin and their younger brother Keon – known as DB3 (Davis Brothers Three) – dreamed as children abandoning “757” to become world boxing champions. Following in the footsteps of other local legends in the Hampton Roads area, including Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Newport News, it was a challenge due to growing crime indicators, multi -generational poverty and lack of inexpensive apartments in the city.
“It is very challenging to get out of here, because we do not have resources that other cities have,” said Davis ESPN. “If the athlete wants to do it with 757, they must be a golden child.”
One of these legends entered the Recreation Center.
“As soon as [Whitaker] He crossed the door, all the attention was on him, “Keyshawn remembered, making the final preparation at the gym in the highest ranking in Las Vegas during his fight on Saturday with Edwin de los Santos to the arena in Norfolk.
Keyshawn was only 2 years venerable when Whitaker, a four -person world champion, had his last professional fight with Carlos Bojorquez in 2001, but he heard stories and saw a sufficient number of movies on YouTube to know everything about “Sweet Pea” and lifted him. So when a man commonly considered the greatest defense boxer he has ever sat down next to Keyshawn to see Kelvin dominating his fight, the dream of being a world champion became concrete.
“He watched the fight,” said Keyshawn, still in disbelief. “He was spinning, shouted the instructions, and I saw that he was really in it. As a younger brother, see a boxing legend from our city, I support my older brother for me. I looked at my older brother, and” Sweet Pea “talked
“It was the day when I realized that we got it. We can really fight and intend to do it.”
Whitaker helped the Davis brothers, being around them in the gym, giving them tips and teaching their boxing techniques before his death in 2019.
Although Davis is the first champion of the boxer world since Whitaker left Norfolk, he follows the unusual line of athletes from this area, such as the former NFL playmaker and the current football coach in Norfolk State Michael Vick, NBA icon Allen Iverson and NFL Smith leader.
And when you look at the albums during Keyshawn, you will see that the mayor of Norfolk Kenny Alexander sits with Vicko, Smitr and Iverson to see his craft “The Businessman”. A group of legends supporting one own is not unusual in this area. She is proud of being part of this community.
“Support is in our DNA,” said Alexander ESPN. “This combination with the legacy and family may not be relatives, but you are a relative because you are part of the fabric” 757 “. We don’t take it slightly.
Idea The appearance for athletes is nothing recent. Vick told ESPN that he was growing up when seeing Whitaker at the Local Boys’ and Girls club, and once noticed Smith at the football match of the University of Hampton. He said that these observations helped inspire his pursuit of greatness, and, like before him, Vick was a priority to pay him forward, supporting Davis in the same way.
“We must appear on Keyshawn,” said Vick, who has been watching Davis since his Olympic race. “He is a champion, so people like me, Bruce Smith, mayor Alexander and Allen Iverson must appear to inform the world how we support our own. Now, when places are going, people know that he has people like us on their network. We’ll make sure that everything is fine.”
Davis fed the last telephone conversation with Iverson and Vick, during which he sat and listened to two people who change in his area, offers advice and their support for a newborn warrior.
“They put me before my fight before my fight,” said Davis. “Do you know how crazy it is?”
Vick said that Saturday at the Scope Arena will not differ from Davis’s other fight, because the previous general selection No. 1 plans to be the ring.
“We have to cultivate these moments to see him,” said Vick. “As a city, we must appreciate these moments, because we may not get the fight against Keyshawn in Norfolk again. It is so good that ultimately all his fights will be in Las Vegas.”
Keyshawn has a long way before he achieves the success of Whitaker, who was a golden medalist at the 1984 Olympic Games. However, at the age of 26, with the Silver Olympic Medal from the Tokyo 2020 Games, he is on the right track.
Davis is the latest talent of the high caliber who came out of “757”, but it is unlikely that he will be the last because of the region’s makeup and the involvement of family stars in his hometown.
“Keyshawn grew up, adored Pernell, not only from what he did in the ring, but also because of what he meant and still means [the Norfolk] The community, “the chairman of the highest class Bob Arum said ESPN.”[Keyshawn] He took the torch from the behind schedule, great “sweet peas” and is now a beloved figure in Norfolk and seven cities. Keyshawn uses his platform to aid the next generation of newborn men and women. “
With the city council On Wednesday in Norfolk, publishing proclamation from June 2 to June 8, is “Keyshawn Davis Week”, Davis’s goal followed in the footsteps of his idol in the ring and outside.
“I always told myself that I’m going to work in the city, so people know that I am a city and I am for the city,” said Davis. “I need people behind me so that we can do it as far as possible.”
Together with Hall Famed athletes, this area was produced by the award -winning grammy of musicians Pharrell, Timbaland, Missy Elliott and the deceased Ellla Fitzgerald. Gabby Douglas Olympic gold medal, NBA champion Alonzo Mourning and comedian Wanda Sykes and Jay Pharoah also represent this area.
“You have a drowner of talent, and the secret sauce is that mixing ideas, faith, drive and sand,” said Alexander about a wealthy and diverse talent pool in the area. “This is different in Norfolk and” 757 “. We are trained to be consistent.
Movement is the reason why talented athletes such as Vick return home and give away. Before working in the state of Norfolk in December, Vick had a more lucrative offer on the other side of the country in the state of Sacramento. But the three -time quarterback of Pro Bowl knew where his heart was and what he had to do.
“There was more money at stake, but I donated all this to go home,” said Vick, who founded the Non-profit organization of the Vick Foundation Foundation in 2006 to support the threatened youth in non-school programs in the Hampton Roads area. “While someone may think that it was a crazy decision, sometimes everything in life is not about money. We have people in our community who really care for newborn people and pour in.”
Donating is also a huge motivation for Davis, but his foundation stone of all this is his success in the ring.

Keyshawn Davis claims that WBO Lightweight Title with the fourth rune of TKO
Keyshawn Davis wins through TKO in the fourth round to become the recent WBO Lightweight champion at 135 pounds.
Davis, considered the future pound fighter as a pound, who trains with world champions, such as Terenka Crawford and Shakur Stevenson, has a style that falls somewhere between Crawford’s erroneous attack and Stevenson’s elite technical ability. Davis cultivated fans, being dominant and amusing.
He needed only four rounds to tear the previously undefeated Ukrainian warrior Denys Berinchyk to become the world champion in February. He is already attacking the fighting for 140, 147 and 154 pounds and believes that his best will only come.
“When everything is said and done, I will be called one of the greatest all time,” said Davis, who called to fight Gervont “Tank” Davis and Teofimo Lopez. “Perhaps I’m not the biggest star now, so many of these guys don’t want to risk fighting me. I already have skills and skills, but when I achieve a specific status, they won’t be able to escape from me anymore.”
Davis has tools to become a game changer, just like before him, but Vick’s council is that Keyshawn was aware of everything around him.
“It requires an unlimited amount of discipline,” said Vick, who in his career stood in the face of a litany of legal problems, including an investigation into the fight against Bad Newz Kennels dogs in 2007, which led to a 23-month sentence of the NFL prison and suspension at the peak of a football career. “People do not understand the victims that we need to succeed every day. You can do everything well and screw it all in 30 seconds. And that’s all they will talk about. Fortunately, he has good people around them and is disciplined. And I will be there to advise him when he needs me.”
Davis, who recently became a father, rides a lot on his success and said that he focuses on his goals.
“I told myself that I would not be rummaging,” said Davis. “There is no pressure on me to succeed, because success is the mentality of” 757 “. This is what Michael Vick had, he had Allen Iverson, he had Pernell Whitaker and I have it.

Kelvin Davis swear nahir Albright on Saturday at ESPN+ Prelim
Published

June 6, 2025
Kelvin Davis (15-0.8 KO) in welterweight predicts that Nahir Albright (16-2, 7 KO) will stand out in their 10-round fight for a pad on Saturday, June 7, at the arena of the range in Norfolk, Virginia. Their fight will take place on the ESPN+introductory card, which will start at 17:10 et / 14:10 PT,
The slender Kelvin 6’1 ″ is the older brother of Keyshawn Davis, who puts this event against Edwin de los Santos. The opponent of Kevlin, Albright, recently fought on October 14, 2023, losing the 10-round decision about Keyshawn. The results of the fight were later changed to a lack of decision after Keyshawn obtained a positive result in terms of forbidden substance.
Unlike Keyshawn, Kelvin did not have a great amateur career. He had a mediocre record of 25-13. Within five years, as a professional, Kelvin has not yet accepted a significant warrior. It makes sense because it has not been shown that it is ready.
Albright gave Davis many problems in this fight, stunning him in the eighth round and coming strongly in the championship rounds to bring him closer. One judge shot him 95-95, which many boxing fans agreed with the best result of these three. Albright followed the same plan that Andy Cruz used to overcome Keyshawn with pressure.
Kelvin Davis sees himself as a puncher, but he is not. His eight knockout became against the lower level opposition. He has not yet fought with a pretender. Last year he was revealed in the fight against Kevin Johnson, trying to win the 10-round decision of the majority.
Kelvin Davis predicts Albright KO
“It’s definitely a business. It’s just a different name that I have to get off the road. On June 8 we should see Kelvin Davis Ko on BoxRec,” said Kelvin Davis Warrior Nahir Albright on Saturday, on Saturday, June 7 at the arena of the scope.
Even if Kelvin wins this fight, he did not show the talent that competed with the highest level of fighters in the amount of 140 or 147. If he thinks that he will win this fight and compete with the best semi -hearted weight, he jokes. He can overcome some lower 15-level rivals, but not the 10 best fighters. It is too slim to swim with sharks.
“It seems to me that it is a bad mentality, that he willingly set off,” said Kelvin about Albright thinking about the fact that he was elated, that he went to a distance with Keyshawn in his last fight in 2023. “His mentality is different than mine because I would be furious that I lost.”
Keyshawn Fight’s Aftermath
It is understandable why Albright should be proud that he fought Davis in 2023. When Keyshawn was now holding the WBO 135-lb title, Albright should feel good that he gave Keyshawn many problems.
Davis: “Kill his dreams”
“He’s just elated on the occasion. It’s been a long time since he returned to this scene. I intend to kill his dreams on Saturday evening on this card,” said Davis about Nahir. “When the bell rings, he will have a vision of a tunnel and will come and bring a fight.”
Kelvin should be elated that his brother, Keyshawn, allows him to fight on his foundation, because without them he will draw in oblivion. He did not show how talent is on the main cards.
“I’m going to make mine.
It would not be a shock if Albright defeated Kelvin on Saturday evening and probably stopped him. If Albright fights at the same level he did two years ago against Keyshawn, he will be too good for Kelvin. This version of Alboght beats Kelvin, which she uses.
