Josh Padley’s Matchroom Debut (19 April): Full face Marko Cvetanovic for the international WBA title after Losania Shakur Stevenson

Josh Padley will face Serbian Marko Cvetanovic in the 10-round Undercard competition for the international featherlight title WBA on April 19, live on Dazn at Park Community Arena in Sheffield, England.
Padley-Cvetanovic will fight for Dalton Smith vs. Mathieu Germain at this event. Given the lower place, it is not expected to be a competitive fight. Of course, with the lack of Padley’s power, you cannot rule out a strictly fighting fight from beginning to end. You can expect Cvetanovic to aim at Padley’s body because it turned out to be exposed in his last fight.
Match debut
This is the first of the many fighting Padley (15-1, 4 KO), recently signed with Eddie Hearna’s boxing after his effort, losing to the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion through the ninth round of February 22 in Riyadyh, Saudi Arabia.
Padley was recruited by Hearn as a replacement opponent Shakur after the withdrawal of the initially planned guy, Floyd Schofield. Hearn criticized fans for choosing a featherlight boxer part -time Padley at the invincible WBC ranking No. 10 Herrera Core (17-0, 15 KO), which would create a much more fascinating fight for Shakur.
Some fans thought Hearn protects Stevenson to stop him from knocking out and save him a potential fight with a huge amount of money with the star of a featherlight division, Gervont Davis.
Four-year-old pro Marko Cvetanovic (13-0, 6 KO) has one significant name in her CV, the journeyman Viorel Samion, who fought many eminent fighters during his career. Cvetanovic detained a 43-year simulation in the third round due to injury last year on June 28. Apart from him, Cvetanovic largely fought veterans and perspectives during his miniature career. He started as a kick-boxer in 2018, but he abandoned one successful fight for focusing on boxing.
Featherlight limits
Padley’s lack of power makes it arduous for him to match any of the huge punchers or skillful fighters in a featherlight division. You can’t match him with such as Abdullah Mason, Raymond Muratalla or Edwin de Los Santos and expect it to reach the fourth round. Hearn can choose target fighters such as Denys Berinchyk, Maxi Hughes or Joe Cordina as Padley’s options. Introducing him with 22-year-old Jadier Herrera would be a bad idea.

Shakur Stevenson breaks out Gervonta Davis over the potential exhibition of Jake Paul, she calls her “lack of respect” to boxing

Shakur Stevenson complained this week that Gervonta Davis was probably fighting with Jake Paul in the exhibition match. Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) says “disrespectful” For sport, if he faces Jake, not with him. He claims that he is “the best warrior in sport” and says that if Davis does not believe it, he must fight him to “prove”.
Stevenson is annoyed that Tank has rejected him many times, perceiving him as a monotonous, desperate warrior, looking for a payment. Tank says Shakur should fight “brother”, Keyshawn Davis. He thinks that Shakur’s brother is an excuse not to fight that he can lose to Keyshawn.
“They should. They still say that they will not fight with their brother.
Shakur SLMS TANK exhibition
“Man, the tank does not respect this sport if he decides to fight me,” said Shakur Stevenson WarriorResponding to news about Gervont Davis, potentially fighting with the exhibition against Jake Paul. “I am the best warrior in this sport. I told him. He called it. If he wants to call Cap and say that I am not who I say that I am, come, prove it.”
Why tank would “prove” if he does not think that Shakur is a “best warrior” in boxing. Stevenson rejected the undefeated talents Ernesto Mercado AND Herrera Core as worthy opponents. He said that he did not want to fight Cuban Jadier Herrera (17-0, 15 Kos): “They are still trying to direct me towards teenage children. I only want large names!” Stevenson then turned and fought with an electrician, Josh PadleyInstead. What does this tell you? He tells me that Stevenson plays him safely, trying to remain unbeaten long enough to get a gigantic payment day against the tank.
Shakur still says that he is “the best warrior in sport”, but he did not fight anyone during his career, who was different than Edwin de los Santos. He ran in front of him for 12 rounds. It was more “disregarding” than a reservoir potentially fighting a harmless exhibition match with Jake.
“I think it’s threatening for him and fight Lamont there,” said Shakur about Tank Davis and Lamont Roach, they agreed to the rematch on August 16. “I think Lamont is a hellish warrior. I see that left. It will be better on his game.”
Payment chase
Many people think that Stevenson is simply trying to break the fight against Tank Davis and is not interested in fighting anyone who avoided losing on this day of payment. That is why Shakur fought part -time boxer hours, Josh Padley and Artem Harutyunyan in the last two fights. He fought Floyd Schofield and Joe Cordina. Both are not close to the peak in lithe.

Many stores inform that Tank Davis-Mont Roach II is set to August 16 in Vegas. The 12-round fight, which will undoubtedly be a salary event at the sight, will go down to the T-Mobile arena. After exceptionally and surprisingly close to the first fight, it ended in a draw in March, many insisted that Underdog Roach deserve to leave the ring with the featherlight title of Davis WBA in his possession. Although the battle was far too close for each decision to be considered a robbery, there were immediately ratings of query about 30 -year -old undefeated Davis after the match.
Admittedly, Davis 30-0-1 is willing to face Roach for the second time without many bureaucratic nonsense. Davis is often accused of not questioning himself in the ring. This accusation is now calling empty, at least in this case. Because Roach gave a featherlight leaf everything that he could do from last winter. “Roach turned out to be able to make Davis energy shots,” I wrote then. “What’s more, he was able to land independently, often at a frequency.” For a man who talked in retirement, Roach found a lot of work on his gloves that night in Vegas.
It will be fascinating to see how the rematch takes place. The source of Davis’s success are the rapid hands of Baltimore natives and explosive power. Roach showed that he has several rapid hands of his last match … And Davis’s power arrows were not a problem. Not this pervs looked perfect. It was a very close fight again. In order for one to be distinguished from the other in the rematch, you will have to introduce corrections.
There is no doubt that this is a great news for Roach, which could easily be pushed to the side after nervously the apple stroller, which was the program of Gervont Davis. Now he not only has the opportunity to prove that the first fight was not a fuchs, but he has a second chance to beat one of the biggest boxing stars. Days Roacha being a unclear younger featherlight letter has long ended.
However, like Roach, Davis also has something to prove. A great performance against Roach in a rematch will allow Davis to repel the fight in March. However, the loss would prove catastrophic. Davis will be a lot of riding on this.

Eddie Hearn supports the lucrative ennis-lopz, despite the widespread disapproval of fans and the maneuverability of Teofimo to the welterweight
Published

Fans do not give Teofimo Lopez a good chance to defeat the united welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Turki Alalshikh mentioned during the Thursday press conference that he was talking to the promoter Eddie Hearn about the fight of Ennis vs. Lopez. If it is made, this fight may take place next.
Even Hearn perceives the fight as a mismatch, but he favors her. It makes sense. At Ennis, he fights with a smaller Lopez (22-1, 13 KO), which will debut at the age of 147.
Fans do not like the fight of ennis-lopz for these reasons
- Potential mismatch: The shoes are much larger, stronger and should fight for 154. Lopez will be spatial and dissatisfied to compete with Ennis. Teofimo has not shown power from growth to 140 in 2018.
- Delays the undisputed purpose of Ennis: Ennis wants to capture all welterweight titles to become unquestioned as soon as possible. Fans want Jaron to hurry with this superficial goal to go to 154 and test against the killers, Vergil Ortiz, Bakrham Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund.
- Defense Style Teofimo: Lopez looked at the excessive defensive in his last fight with Arnold Barboza Jr., throwing a few blows, moves a lot and claundry. It was like watching Shakur Stevenson’s fight, and the fans were bored. Lopez’s fight was one of the most hard on the card.
- Lopez’s racist remarks: Many fans were livid with Teofimo Word in the last video clip on social media. Some
Turk’s fight vision
“I talk to Eddie Hearn to make shoes and Teofimo– said Turki Alalshikh on Thursday Start press conference In Up-to-date York, pre -paid on July 12.
“I know for sure that they are trying to fight Teofimo, but he is trying to throw me under the bus, while he does it so that he can try to look a bit better,” said Brian Norman Jr. For social boxing. “I’m trying not to say it on shoes. This is for me [for why the fight isn’t happening].
Hearn recently mentioned submitting the offer of WBO Master Wytreight Nomeran Jr. (27-0, 21 KO) for the unification of the fight against “Boots” Ennis, but he was told that they wanted to first draw his defense against Jin Sakaki (19-1, 17 KO). This fight takes place next month on June 19 at OTA-Cita General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
Norman believes that the only reason why Hearn mentioned the media that he had made an offer was that he tried to make them look bad. There may be some of them or Hearn wanted to show his warrior, Ennis, that he actively tried to set union matches. This makes Hearn look better in Boot’s eyes if he tries to assist him achieve his goal, which is the undisputed champion.
“There are still great fights in the league. I don’t need him. He needs me,” said Norman Jr. About Ennis. “I’m here, doing my job. I’m preparing to fight in Japan [against Jin Sasaki]. I am a world warrior. I am also trying to fight in Great Britain. I am trying to make a whole heritage about what is happening. So I don’t necessarily need it, but I still want the fight to happen. “
Norman Jr. He should forget about Ennis and let the fight marinate for a year or two. If he continues the fight, he won’t bring him money, which in a few years. Of course, if Turks Alalshikh offers him a huge enough purse, it is different. Hearna’s offer for Norman Jr. In the amount of $ 1.7 million for the struggle of unification in September last year there was a change in Chump compared to what he could get while waiting. In the meantime, Norman Jr. He can get a huge payment of Conor Benn after he faces Chris Eubank Jr. in the rematch.
“I would love to fight Conor Bennem. I know that at the moment he was associated with Eubank Jr.
This is a greater fight for Norman Jr. than a unification match with Boot Ennis. Benn is very popular in Great Britain and the fight between him and Norman Jr. She would sell.
