Joseph Parker worked lightly Martin Bakole in Riyadh, what will happen next is uncertain
Published
2 months agoon

Despite the rapid flattening of the hazardous pretender Martin Bakole, Joseph Parker can still miss the fight for the title of champion.
Bakole entered only two days of notifications of a plot in the fight for ponderous titles and came to Saudi Arabia from the Democratic Republic of Congo after the disappearance of Friday weighing.
Parker (36-3, 23 KO) was to challenge Daniel Dubois for the title of World IBF, but instead he blew up the bacols (21-2, 16 KO) in two rounds. Bakole could have been a overdue replacement and was too ponderous, but it was still the impressive performance of Parker.
It is certainly arduous to predict what the next six or seven months looks like, but the withdrawal of Dubois has changed all plans for promoters, managers and Saudi payers.
Instead of re -facing Parker, after withdrawing from the defense of the world title compared to the Recent Zealander with a viral infection during the fight week, IBF Dubois champion will probably face Oleksandr Usyk in the unquestionable fight for the world championship title.
For Parker, his best option seems to be a rematch with former champion Anthony Joshua – but it depends on Parker’s friend, Tyson Fury, and not a return to Joshu this summer.
“I want to fight for the world championship title and become the world champion again,” said Parker later. “I will fight with everyone and everyone.”
When Joshua returns in the summer, he and the rest of the box hopes that it would be against his long -time rival Fury, who announced his pension after the defeat of Utyk. The former WBC World Heavyweight champion will receive an offer this week to face Joshua, probably at the Wembley stadium, and Fury will not decide for a long time whether he is really finished with this sport.
Promoters have tried to match Fury and Joshua for the last five years, and this will be the last attempt to realize the fight.
But if the Fury remains retired, another Joshua fight can be against someone who trains at the same gym as the Fury: Parker.
Parker from Auckland in Recent Zealand constantly rebuilt his career after losing in round 11 with Joe Joyce in September 2022. The 33-year-old registered six consecutive wins, including winning in Deontay Wilder and most points win over Zhilei Zhang in March last year. While Joshua, Fury and Wilder saw their performances fall in the standards, Parker is in the best form of his life and better than in his first rule as a master, as he showed in the absolute shipping of Bakole.
Fighting Joshua, even if there is no world title on the line, will have a huge charm for Parker. When he faced Joshua under the roof at the Principality stadium at Cardiff in Wales, he was in the best state. That night he lost the WBO belt from Joshua, but became the first person to take Joshua to points as a professional.
Like the speed and movement of Parker, they denied Joshua’s openings in 2018, so once again he will want to refuse Joshui a chance to unload his blows.
Parker has previously refused Joshua Ko and he will be sure he did it again. Together with Dubois, another warrior who could share the ring from Usyk, who was in Riyadh on Saturday, is Agit Kabayel, who recovered from Terrunia in round 5 to stop Zhilei Zhang with the body of a shot in round 6 for Fringe WBC Tineim Tineim heavyweight title.
While Kayabel does not look like a stern threat to Uyka, because he lacks shock, he can still be a man who will face world 1 in his last fight at the end of 2025. Kabayel (26-0.18 KO), 32, with German, he was under pressure at an early stage of a 41-year-old Chinese warrior who is based in Recent Jersey, but his work rate began Blow Zhang (27-3-1, 22 KO).
Zhang dropped such as Wilder, Parker and Joyce, so there was no shame in Kabayel coming from a compact left hook. Then he quickly recovered and gathered a quick response to stop the tiring Zhang with a combination of the body.

“Do not shake my hands, you in my city!”: Berlanga baked main event Shakur – real fans want action, not to run! “

Edgar Berlanga blew up Shakura Stevenson, reacting to him complaining that he was the main support on his undercard page this summer, July 12 Mega-Event at Central Park in Modern York. Berlanga informed Shakur that he was arousing the crowd in the main event after they put their lifeless performance on their website. Edgar added that he was the “king of Modern York” and said that he did not want Shakur to try his hand when he saw him.
Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) from Brooklyn in Modern York, heads Hamzah Sheeraz in the battle of super medium weight. The lightweight champion of WBC Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) is nervous that his great fight with William Zeda (33-0, 27 KO) does not receive the highest settlements by Turki Alalshikhh.
NYC doesn’t buy it
Shakur believes that his fight should be a star in which he was the world champion. However, it does not connect to contemporary boxing fans. Holding the belt means nothing now. Fans want to playAnd Berlanga-Sheeraz has a better chance of providing this than the fight of Stevenson with Zeda. If Newark, from Modern Jersey, Shakur, had a reputation of being an adventurer, would probably be placed in the head selection position.
Berlanga is nice to watch and his personality is ideal for interest in the card on July 12. He doesn’t even try to be a villain. It’s just him. Berlanga Fits the role of the figure of the villain Without pretending. As for Shakur, it does not belong to this era. He should return to the Mayweather era when the fans were more tolerant of lifeless fights. You can’t fight that now. Shakur should be grateful that Turki puts him even on his card, because he really should wash his hands and say: “Go away.”
We already know that Shakur is Tidy runnerAnd he will move without a break through 12 rounds against Tom Puncher Zepeda. If he stood and put with a Mexican blow, he would probably not stand more than six rounds. Zepeda is on average to 100 beats thrown on the round, and Shakur on average one quarter of it even on his best days.
“They brought me a co-maraging event at Edgar. I am the biggest star on the card. I am a guy who people want to see,” said Shakur Stevenson to Breakdeal Club Power 105.1 FMComplaining about his fight with William Zepeda on the undercard of Edgar Berlang vs. Hamzah Sheeraz on July 12. “I have the best CV.”
Stevenson doesn’t know what he is talking about. Fighters whose fans want to see on the card on July 12 are Berlanga and Zepeda. These two are most interested in fans in the American Shakur, is basically only an opponent who stands in front of the entertaining Tom Zeped. As for fans, the Mexican star of Zepeda is a real master in this fight, not Shakur.
“I am also the most talented. Just to put me on [Berlanga] Undercard. It doesn’t make sense, “said Stevenson. “Take me from it [July 12] Card, what do you think this card does? Nobody will pay attention to it. They pay attention to this by me. “
Turki makes sense to put Turks to Stevenson to the Cover on July 12. You must believe that Turki and his team carefully thought about this movement, weighing what fight would attract the greatest interest of fans in Modern York and in the whole country. Berlanga vs. Sheeraz will attract more interest from Modern Yorkers, the USA and Great Britain than Shakur-Zepeda.
“He is [Turki Alalshikh] I try to make the best fight, but I want the biggest and best fights. I want to fight the tank, “Shakur said, continuing to defeat the drum about the start of Gervont Davis. “I think Central Park and Times Square, I think it’s frosty.”
Shakur has to forget about Gervont Davis for a moment and focus on the task against Zepeda. This is not certain, win. We have already seen how complex to Tevin Farmer could cope with Zepeda’s pressure in their two fights, and he is more uneven and powerful than Shakur with a long shot.
Parish path
If Stevenson escapes from Zepeda, as he did against Edwin de Los Santos, he will be thrown out of Central Park by Modern York fans. Even if he wins, his supplies will fall so low that Tank Davis will not want anything related to him. Shakur there would be a pariah.
“It’s crazy, I really told people that this is a double main event and 2 stars on the battle card, but now!” he said Edgar Berlanga ON InstagramResponding to Shakur Stevenson, he complains about his undercard on July 12.
“The king of Modern York ***! I’m going to sleep, and then I will be the one who will wake up with the fireworks! PS: Don’t shake my hands when you see me, I don’t want to break my hands before the fight. You in my city, Ziomek. Don’t forget! @Shakurstevenson 🗽”

Crawford’s coach predicts an aggressive strategy against Alvarez: “You’ve never seen Crawford stayed on the back”

Trenka Crawford’s coach, Bernie “The Boxer” Davis, says that Crawford will not fight the “back foot” against Canelo Alvarez on September 12. He states that he attacks Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO), wants to tear his undisputed title of super medium weight from him at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas.
(Credit: Geoffrey Knott/Matchroom)
The way Bernie talks about Crawford, you might think that he destroyed everyone from 168 to 200. But when you look at the last performance of Terupka against Israil Madrimov, it sounds like pure work. He is simply lucky that he did not have to fight Canelo, passing through a peace full of venomous kings and hungry wolves, fighting with David Benavidez, David Morrell and Dmitry Bivol.
Expect back
It is tough to imagine that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) attacks Canelo, as if he were a plate of food because of his inaction, and for the first time he moves on two divisions to fight in 168. You can take People’s seriously if he showed courage, approaching the weight and agreed to fight David Benavidez or David Morrell first.
He just sat, ages and joyful that Turks Alalshikh gave him a fight with Canelo without having to risk his back, approaching and fighting with one of these killers. It beats working on life, giving him things.
“When you see Crawford, he will go there and be busy with Canelo. You don’t even doubt it,” said Bernie “Tha Boxer” Davis Boxing fansSounding like Hype Man On the verge of tears talking about Terenka Crawford, who won with Canelo Alvarez on September 12. “You have never seen Crawford staying on your butt in any fight in your life. Do you understand it?”
Well, I remember Crawford fought for the rear foot against Israil Madrimov and Viktor Postol. He moved a lot in both fights. One of the reasons why Crawford did not fight on the back foot is that his opposition was frail, practically all his career. In his 17-year career he fought only one good warrior, and this is Madrimov. He almost lost him and is not even a warrior at the elite level.
Errol Spence was a ruined warrior before Crawford fought him. He was exhausted after a car accident, injuries, inactivity and yo-yo diet. He was a warrior shell he was when he changed a professional for the first time.
Getting into trouble
“He is the type of guy who will lead you,” said Davis about Crawford. “So expect to go to him [Canelo]. We will do everything we can do to him. We will do everything we have to do.
“But you can expect Crawford to come to him because you can’t beat Canelo to the back foot forever. You have to get him. You have to do something, and he knew better that Crawford is coming,” Davis said.
Crawford will probably not “enter” Canelo enough to win the decision. When he tastes Alvarez’s power, he will go into the defense mode, trying to win the celebration through the stab. It won’t work. You won’t defeat the Canelo Supergivoons by stabbing him because he was tried by Gennadiya Golovkin in their first fight and Erislanda Lara. The judges focused more on Canelo power shots and ignored the ggg and lara stab.

Jermall Charlo calls Rolando Romero to the next attack of Devin Haney, anticipating the decisive “washing” that will derail Haney’s career

Jermall Charlo wants Rolando Romero to fight Devin Haney “washed.” Romero (17-2, 13 KO) defeated both Ryan Garcia and Haney, ruining all the chances that they would fight in the near future.
(Credit: Geoffrey Knott/Matchroom)
Haney’s management will probably not agree to let him fight a great blow, such as Rolly, because they would know what would happen. Devin will fall apart with the first substantial shot of Rolly Lands, and his career will be ready for scrap metal.
“Washed” if Romero wins
“It looks like it would be Devin Haney. If Rolly washed him, it is washed,” said Jermall Charlo to media About who he wants to see the newly crowned “ordinary” welterweight champion Rolando Romero to fight next.
“If you do what you have just done Ryan with Haney, it makes sense and a lot of money. When it comes to heritage, I would say that come back and stop dev. I say dev or Gervont,” said Charlo.
You can definitely argue that Haney is already washed, even without the role of Rolly. This performance Haney turned against Jose Ramirez, showed that he was too shy to have a chance against any of the good fighters in 147 or 140.
Last Friday, Romero defeated Ryan (24-2, 20 KO) in great nervousness, defeating him with a 12-round unanimous decision at Times Square, Up-to-date York. Rolly was chosen as an opponent of tuning Garcia. They were to face immediately after the fight for the announcement of the October rematch. Rolly ruined everything.
Haney (32-0, 15 KO) won the fight on the card against Jose Ramirez, but he looked so bad because of running that his reserves fell in the same way as if he lost. He is treated as a failure because it looked so shy. It’s too overdue now. If Haney looked like pure gold against Ramirez, they could be able to save the fight against Garcia for October.
Ruled revenge chances
Boxing fans would still be interested in watching him because Devin looked great. But because Haney’s performance is even worse than Ryan, there was no way to put this fight. This may have permanently ruined chances of a rematch.
I don’t see Turk Alalshikh who wants to bother Haney’s head after losing to Rolly. Why would he?
Some promoters, such as Eddie Hearn, would still be interested in signing Haney because of his recognition. He could take him to England and give him treatment of Conor Benn with a careful relationship. However, he would not be a real claimant who would be useful for construction.
