Josh Taylor vs. Essuman, Ituma vs. Balogun on May 24 – Live on Dazn
Published
4 weeks agoon

The unquestioned champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) will fight for the meaning and redemption on May 24, when he debuts in a welterweight against WBO European Belt-Holder Eivow Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) in Glasgow. Card streams live on Dazn (22:00 Local / 17:00 et / 14:00 PT) with Hydro Ovo.
This is Taylor’s first fight in Scotland from the controversial Catterall saga, and this time there is no margin of error. He is older, heavier and moves away with losses. Let’s see if the crowd still believes.
Taylor’s Homecoming: Redemption Tour or Retirement Road?
Taylor was a long fall. After cleaning 140 victories over Baranchyk, Prograis and Ramirez, he slipped into the fog of disputed victories, injuries, and ultimately two clear paralysis – one for Cattell, and the other against Theofimo Lopez, where he looked like the spirit of his aged self.
Now at the age of 34 he enters the weight class full of wolves. And they will not respect his past. They will test what is left of the present. Essuman may not be an elite, but it is not pressure. And if Taylor looks flat, tired or selfless, Glasgow can quickly become hostile.
It’s more than just a return. It’s a career. Win and he can get another gigantic payment day. Lose, and the conversation turns away from “What next?” “What went wrong?”
Essuman’s shot to destroy heritage – and he knows about it
Essuman is not here for payment. The former British champion, Commonwealth and IBF Euro, rebuilt after his only defeat with Harry Scarff last year. Since then, Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughana knocked down: he explained: he wants to fight at the level.
He has an engine, has experience and has already crashed the jaws in the ring. Ask Danny Ball. Essuman is not afraid of Glasgow. He fought under the lights in Wembley and Manchester. The scene will not scare him – and the name of Taylor will not be either.
If he wins, he jumps straight into the WBO mixture at 147. If he loses? It will continue to come out with greater credibility than when he came in.
The invincible British heavyweight Moses Itauma (11-0, 9 KO) returns on May 24, in the face of the former NFL linebacker, Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO) in Hydro Ovo in Glasgow.
Balogun brings a size, not danger – Moses should have fun through it
Ituma destroyed Demesey McKean in two minutes of flat in December in Riyadh. Since then, fans have been waiting for months for their next victim. Go to Mike Balogun: Southpaw, a tough guy, a padded record and the best known for flattening by Murat Gasssiev in less than six minutes.
Sure, Balogun has 21 wins, but let’s not pretend that these names mean something. His last trip? Winning points over Lamont Capers – a walking definition of a “safe and sound opponent”.
His is a presentation. Balogun is here to eat blows, try to get it and may survive long enough to test Itauma’s patience. If possible at all.
Moses is marching – but the real danger is approaching forward
The golden boy Queensberry wants the belt. And with another dominant KO, he approaches the title eliminator. If he looks edged, you can put names such as Hrgovic, Makhmudov or Kabayel, they begin to float in the backsthrough.
For now, Balogun is speed. But Ituma not only defeats opponents – he erases them. And if the Balogun becomes sloppy or conceited for a second, he can wake up staring at the lights.
It is no longer about proving yourself. It’s about ticking fields until great fights land.

Devin Haney’s “Runner” style now undesirable: Riyadh’s season requires “24k golden inactive”
Published
1 hour agoon
June 14, 2025
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.

Hearn is planning an ennis debut 154-FUNTs from Grateper Fight before attacking Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Published
3 hours agoon
June 14, 2025
Eddie Hearn says that he wants Jaron “Boots” Ennis to fight the “guard” in his debut in August 154, and then he fought with this champion younger WBC champion, Vergil Ortiz before the end of the year. Hearn will lead this fight next, but he was told that he would not be ready for this date.
154-Funts of Ennis’s plan
Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) will fight next, but it must be someone good enough to prepare him for Vergil. He believes that the shoes will be stronger at the age of 154, because he will not have to put his body through hell to earn weight, as in 147.
“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted guy and it was simply terrifying what this guy will do when he is not exhausted. That’s why I think he made the decision and said:” You have to see the best of me “and time,” said Eddie Hearn for this Fight Hub tv On Jaron’s decision “Boots” Ennis “about the transition to 154.
It was strange to see Ennis Boxing Eimantas Stanionis, and not tardy down, as usual with opponents. It was a clear signal that the shoes were not mighty enough to stand and hit Eimantas after what he had gone to earn a scale in 147.
“I don’t think people will shout to fight him [Ennis] In terms of masters, but now he has built this profile. You saw in the Riyadh season that they were over him to fight there, and we want to do it – said Hearn. “We want to work with its Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]. “
Masters aged 154 will not want to fight Ennis, unless the money is huge because they know that they will have little chance of winning. This would require Turk’s involvement in luring belt owners so that they want to defend themselves against shoes. In addition, Ennis may need to go to a compulsory position to force masters to fight him.
The guard first for Ennis
“We also saw what shoes they build for me in the US, you need this world guard, the five best guys, and certainly the 10 best guys to test water at 154, and then I think we should fight Vergil Ortiz,” said Hearn. “It’s a huge fight. We expect a fight in August.”
If Ennis shoes intend to fight the “guard” at 154 to prepare on Vergil JR, he should focus on the fight against Israil Madrimov or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare it for what Ortiz Jr. intends to bring. Ennis is useless to fight someone in the top 15 because it will not prepare him.
“We actually said in the Riyadh season that we could fight Vergil Ortiz on August 16, but it was not ready or the date did not work. I do not know what it was. I think we will fight in August, and then we are ready for Vergil Ortiz. I think it’s a brilliant fight and I think this is the best fight in the division,” said Hearn.
Ennis vs. Ortiz would potentially be the biggest fight for shoes in the 154 pounds division, but not the most tough. Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fund and Israil Madrimov may be more tough to fight for Ennis than Vergil Jr. Style Vergil Jr. They apply Ennis shoes to order, and he returns for exhausting fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk.
Multi-Division the future of Ennis
“You will see how it dominates in 154, as well as 160 or maybe even 168,” said Hearn about Ennis shoes. “He will be a world champion in three or four resolutions. Wait until you see that Jaron Ennis was fueled and did not have to go through this week of fight. He improved the weight in Stanionis’s fight than in the fight against Chukhadzhian.”
We do not know if the shoes will dominate everyone in the younger medium weight, because he would still have to go through these fighters to do this:
– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Sebastian Fundor
– Tim Tsyzyu
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– likes Erickson
– Israil Madrimov
– Xander Zayas
– Serhia Bohachuk
– Jorge Garcia Perez
– Keith Thurman
“He shrinks and you can’t physically be 100%when you do it in your body. Now it’s time to see the best Jaron Ennis.” We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Daznne. They love this fight. Let’s see what we can do, “said Hearn.
Ennis has looked exhausted at his weighing for the last two years and should have been raised, not to go through torture in a dead division. When Terenka Crawford moved to 154 in 2024, Boots should follow him. He was the only guy in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after losing to Crawford. So it doesn’t make sense that the shoes still run out to make 147 to fight such guys such as Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.

Eddie Hearn declares that Andy Cruz will be the IBF Lightweight champion in the next two matches
Published

June 14, 2025
Eddie Hearn says that Andy Cruz will be the world champion “in the next two fights” after he defeats Hironori Mishiro tonight in an eliminator with a airy IBF title, and then the master Raymond Muratalla.
The best rank will not be satisfied with Hearna’s forecast that Cruz will dethrone his warrior Muratalla, because he was recently raised to the full status of the master. They hope that Muratalla will have a long rule as an IBF champion, but they did not realize that the Olympic gold medalist 2020 Cruz will be so speedy.
Eliminator of the Cruza title tonight
Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) fights Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in the 12-round main support on the Richardson Hitchins vs. George Cambosos Jr. at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. Today’s event will be broadcast live in Dazn, starting from 19:00 et. Cruz will try to steal the Hitchins program, which is a pure boxer and probably will not step on gas against Cambosos in the main event.
“Andy has the final eliminator this weekend, and then she will be mandatory for Muratalla in the case of a airy IBF title. So Andy will be the world champion in the next two fights,” said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tv About Andy Cruz. “Maybe he feels very comfortable for a moment at the age of 135.”
“Andy Cruz must just win this fight to get a shot at IBF Lightweight.”
Mishiro did not fight in any significant opposition during his career and will take a massive step in the classroom from the fighters with whom he stands in Japan. IBF gave him a ranking #5, which doesn’t make much sense when he looks at his delicate CV.
Cruz and Hearn hoped to fight Keyshawn Davis for his airy WBO title, but last Friday he left the weight and then he was deprived of his belt. Now he revealed that he would fight at 140.
