Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Josh Padley, who was largely unknown to British boxing circles ago, said that on Saturday he could “definitely” beat the lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson.

Padley (15-0, 4 KO) got a phone call on Tuesday evening asking whether he could replace Floyd Schofield, who had to withdraw from the fight because of his illness.

A 29-year-old from Yorkshire, who is still working as an electrician in the north of England, did not hesitate to ask if he wanted to fight, which could change his life.

Padley was on tools on Tuesday morning. He did not know this, but in the next 24 hours he would be in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, preparing to become the opportunity to become the world champion.

“I was at work this morning, I did some training. I just put tea with my fiance, “said Padley at ESPN in Riyadh.

“I was about to eat … So the meal was omitted because I had to make a control mass! I had to jump through several rims and get here, but I wouldn’t have it otherwise.

“It was a standard week working in everyday work. Of course, I still train boxing, because that’s what I live and breathe. Tuesday evening a dream call. this?

This shows Padley’s involvement in sport that he was still in shape and with the right weight to fight in three days.

Padley had the best career over Marek Chamberlain at Wembley Stadium in September. This victory was considered nervous. If he manages to get something against Stevenson (22-0, 10 KO), it would probably be one of the largest in all sports.

Stevenson is No. 3 in the ESPN ranking, which is a lightweight warrior and 9 on pounds for pounds.

Asked if he really believes that he could defeat the WBC master, Padley said: “Definitely. I still train, even though I didn’t have a camp as such and I’m not as refined as I should, I still train all the time.

“I am still pairing, I still do strength, intersection sessions and regular running. I am there [to win] And I know I can do it. “

Running adrenaline, Padley came to the gym on Thursday to best operate the constrained preparation time.

“I was a bit tired [Thursday] Morning. We landed at 7 am, I had some naps up to 10 [a.m.]. I think that pure excitement and everything that happens is just masking something like that. So I’m just going. “

Stevenson’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, welcomed Padley for saving the fight.

“I’m so glad that Josh Padley is sincere with you,” said Hearn ESPN.

“He defeated Marek Chamberlain – who was his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] miniature project. He earns enough money to buy a nice house, pay off a mortgage and fight for the championship.

“By the way, it will give it all. He just won’t come in or hide, he will give Shakur.

“[But] Shakur is Shakur and I expect it to look great. “

Imam Khataev: Can “next Beterbaiev” upset David Morrell in the fight against the current win?

Published

Image: David Morrell's Post-Benavidez Revelation: The Cost of Caution and a Blueprint for Dominance Against Imam Khataev

A delicate heavyweight clash between the former two-level world champion David Morrell and the Bronze Olympic medalist 2020 Imam Khataev did not arouse much interest in fans of their 10-Rund fight on July 12 at Queens, Fresh York.

Morrell vs Khataev: Most fight

Low place for Undercard Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda happened to the fight of Morrell-Khataeva, which was overlooked by fans. The fight is below cards. The event will be shown at Dazn PPV from the Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens, Fresh York.

As for the entertainment value, Morrell vs. Khataev should be the card factor on July 12, because he promises that he will have more fans-friendly action than the Stevenson-Zepeda fight. Shakur star, Shakur, will run all night from Zepeda and will not be as intriguing for fans as the clash of Morrell-Khataev.

Morrell’s Benavidez Falout

Morrell (11-1, 9 KO) wants to reflect from the 12-round unanimous decision defeat with David Benavidez on February 1. He must show up in the fight against the unbeaten delicate pretender for heavyweight Khataev (10-0, 9 Kos), whom he learned after Benavidez’s defeat. Morrell made mistakes in this fight, not letting his hands go away, standing flat, floating in front of Tom Puncher Benaviez and fighting with the strings.

Despite its loss, Morrell is high at 2 #2 WBA, No. 2 WBC and #3 WBO. This fight with Khataev is necessary for 27 -year -old Cuban Morrell to show that he has a talent for being the best warrior at the age of 175. He has youth, but the mental disadvantages he showed against Benavidez could stop him if he is unable to learn from them.

Khataev: Next Artur Beterbiev?

30 -year -old Russian khataev is seen by some as the next one Artur Beterbiev With massive hands, a volume of volume and carefree pressure, which he exerts on opponents. Khataev has for him this style of Beterbaiew, which can be a nightmare for Morrell, unless he can box and move the way Ben Whitaker did in his three round victory over him in 2021. Morrell has an advantage over Khataev, but he can’t match his production.

Since the transformation of Pro in 2021, Khataev faced a indigent opposition and defeated everyone except one. It takes #6 ibf, #8 wbc, #10 wba and #15 wbo. This is a large step so that Khataev faces Morrell after 10 low -level fighters of his promoters matched him, but he has amateur experience to win this fight. As an amateur, Khataev had a record of 90-23. He defeated the Olympic medalist Arlena Lopez’s two -time medalist for three rounds of the majority decision in 2023.

Turki Alalshikh Directive: like a 18-meter ring for Khataev-Morrell affects the DAZN PPV card from July 12

Published

on

Image: Turki Alalshikh's Directive: How the 18ft Ring for Khataev-Morrell Impacts the July 12th DAZN PPV Card

Imam Khataeva manager, Jim Cambosos, revealed that the size of the ring will be 18 feet for his fight with David Morrell next month in a 10-round airy bulky fight on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens in Modern York.

Khataev-morrell: 18 feet ring confirmed

Jim is glad that the ring will have 18 feet, not a standard 20 feet, because it will not allow warriors on the “Running” card. It is not clear how this will aid the invincible bronze medalist of the Olympic 2020 Khataeva (10-0, 9 KO) in this fight. A highly 175 pound player Morrell (11-1, 9 KO) is not a runner and will not be challenging to find. He will stand and fight with Khataev.

Morrell vs. Khataev is part of the Turk Alalshikha event on July 12 on Dazn PPV. The card is the header by Edgar Berlang vs. Hamzah Sheeraz.

The 18 feet ring is hit by Stevenson, Zepeda

The reduced 18-meter rings for this card will mainly affect Shakur Stevenson, who defends its airy WBC title against William Zepeda’s volume in the factor.

Stevenson is expected to move a lot in this fight. But because the ring is smaller, it will not have enough real estate to avoid Zepeda. Turki said this week that he would not support runners on his Riyadh season cards. He wants fighters who bring action. Again, this directive affects Shakur, not Morrell, which is a great blow and known for brawling.

“I will tell you one thing now. I take care of Imam Khataeva. And I just signed the promotional agreement of Imam Khataeva,” said manager Jim Cambosos WarriorSpeaking of his warrior, Imam Khataev, who will face David Morrell on July 12.

Russian khataev has a lot of power and is a classic pressure warrior. His amateur certificates speak for themselves. He fought at the highest levels. As a professional, his style is more suitable for this kind of fight because he is able to bear his opposition to pressure. Morrell will have to fight much better than in February in February with David Benavidez to win.

“I will tell you one thing that has changed, but it is not me that he breaks all confidentiality or privacy contracts in the contract,” said Cambosos. “But I agree with his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] Because this ring was reduced to 18 feet. This is not a 20 -foot ring. “

Morrella’s style in a smaller ring

Jim should not assume that the smaller ring will aid Khataev in this fight because he does not fight the novice. Cuban Morrell can do everything Ben Whittaker did when he defeated Khataeva at the Olympic Games, but he is also a great puncher. If Morrell fights aggressively, as in the past, Khataev will be challenging to abstain without a fight on the cutting or edema of the eye.

“Because guess what? We want the warriors to fight. And I am very content that the ring on July 12 is a ring 18 x 18, internal, inside the ropes. It will make men fight, do not want to run and operate basically every whole ring. Now we are on an 18-meter ring. I am really content that my guy is really content [Imam Khataev] It is pressure – said Cambosos.

Devin Haney’s “Runner” style now undesirable: Riyadh’s season requires “24k golden inactive”

Published

Image: Tim Bradley Blasts Devin Haney's Lackluster Performance Against Ramirez, Suggesting 'PTSD' from Garcia Fight Impacted His Will to Engage

The manager Bill Haney reacted to the recent Turk’s policy Alalshikh, consisting in the lack of the desire of runners during his events in the Riyjad season, saying that his son, Devin Haney, will not “run”.

Haney responds to Turki’s policy

Bill claims that Devin has a “magazine” tools to win and never “He fights in the same way.” Fans do not agree. Haney (32-0, 15 KO). They consider him a classic runner, the same style that Turki does not want on his cards. When Devin fought at the age of 135, he was involved more, but his style transformed into Shakur Stevenson 2.0 from height to 140.

It depends on Turk, if he wants to include Haney’s Riyadh seasonal cards because he has high standards regarding the type of high -quality fights he wants. He knows that he cannot restore boxing to the popularity she once had in the era of Muhammad Ali, if he has security fighters who litter their Hit-and-Hit style cards in the 90s.

Camp for Devin Haney

Instead of Bill, he tries to talk to Devin in Turki cards, he must translate him through the shoes camp, in which he is forced to fight laxts for 11 weeks of training. I need an emergency course to change it.

If Tim Bradley’s diagnosis is right PTSDThe mind must get out of it to get him out of it if he wants to be included in the prestigious Turk’s cards. Soon we will see that Riyadh seasonal cards are invited only purely 24k Gold Slusgers. Defensive fighters who are resistant to changes are ignored and resigned.

Devina’s “Running” draws memes

“Have you heard a narrative that Turki doesn’t like to run, which I like everything that Turki doesn’t like, too,” said Bill Haney Fight Hub tvResponding to the recent Turki Directive Alalshikha that he no longer wants to fight “Tom and Jerry” consisting in running on the pages of the Riyadh season.

Bill should worry because Turka’s comments affect Devin because he had the worst performance on the Times Square card in Novel York on May 2. People on X create memes with the Haney race in their fight with Jose Ramirez. Watching was terrible.

“So, if there is no run, there is no run. One thing in Devin Haney is that with Arsenal he has, I used to say that it was a toolbox. Then it became a shed of tools, and then it is a magazine. You never saw how we fight the same way. Not once, not in any way, not,” Bill said.
