Photos: Takam annoys Yoka, Azeez wins the euro title in Paris!
Published
1 year agoon
Tony Yoka (11-2, 9 KO) entered the ring as a hefty favorite against Carlos Takam (40-7-1, 28 KO): younger, higher, rangier and fighting in front of his home crowd. But this crowd also arrived in the price – the pressure on Yoka, which needed a lot of win after the dominance of Martin Bakole in his previous fight.
Despite this, the prospect of losing Yoki with a 42-year-old veteran opponent seemed unlikely on paper.
The dominant presentation of Yok was expected, so the surprise of the Parisian crowd was actual, because the fight turned into the total opposite of what they came.
The valid stab of the Olympic medalist Yoka turned out to be completely ineffective against Takam, who was constantly next to him and got into work on the body and intake of close range power.
Amazingly, the pace of the fight was dictated by the warrior 12 years older than his opponent. With the trust of Yoki, which he apparently shot, Takam was able to bring all his experience to make him a bad night for a home warrior.
With Takam, who received free work to work in the scope he wanted, Yoka was bloody and on the back foot in the last round. He needed a knockout, but it was almost no longer, and Takam was not uncertain on the way to victory in the decision.
The only sour note for Takam was his restless expectation when the results cards were read: two judges had it for him, but others fought for Yoka in some way, which caused a fractional decision to win, not unanimous.
This is a catastrophic result for Yoka, which falls to 0-2 in its last two trips with bad performances in both.
“Super” Dan Azeez (19-0, 13 KO) is the up-to-date champion of the European hefty delicate weight after winning in the final round over the former European champion Thomas Faure (21-5-1, 2 KO) in Paris.
Azeez is now the only warrior with delicate water who won subsequent English, British, communities and European titles. Enduring progress was an open part of Azeez’s plan to take part in the world championships.
“I climb the ladder step by step. British, communities of nations, European, and now it’s the world [title next,]Azeez said, who celebrated the addition of the European heavyweight European championships to his collection.
Faure entered the eight undefeated series in battle and put on a thrilling performance, but he was unable to stop Azeez gradually collecting him and take control of the meeting.
The last round occurred when the Faure-who was stuck in the previous round and more and more often on the defensive since bleeding in seventh place-she came to Azeez, which made him overwhelmed.
Returning to the fight, Faure stepped forward to enter another fleshy right hand that he couldn’t see, as he couldn’t answer.
The judge, who was already looking close, jumped to wave the fight and save the faure from the inevitable finish by Azeez.
Price vs mannes
Lauren Price MBE (3-0, 1 KO) maintained its excellent professional record when it increased to 3-0 with the dominant victorious decision over the German rival Naomi Mannes (6-2, 4 KO), and all three judges gave all eight rounds to Prices for unanimous winning.
For the first time, the price went on eight rounds and did a good training for her during the third professional trip.
“I felt good there for eight rounds. I thought that I used a stab very well – Price said, adding that she traveled abroad in her professional career because “she wanted to get out … The first one is outdoor for 2023.”
“Of course, there are still things to work, but she is a tough girl, and I caught her with good shots. I felt more comfortable when the rounds lasted. I felt really good in the sixth and seventh place. I liked it. “
The combination of Southpaw speed and attitudes makes it a arduous proposition for every orthodox opponent.
Mannes could not get closer to Welsh lightning, and her only successes come on the way from time to landing, usually after a few shots from the price in return.
Saad vs McGowan
The television card opened with a disappointing result for Manchester Man Macaulay McGowan (17-3-2, 3 KO).
Apparently, he went to the house of warrior Farrhad “Professor” SAAD (8-0-2) in eight rounds, only so that two judges announce a draw of the fight, and the remaining judge with a results card in favor of Saad.
After the announcement of most of the drawing drawing, he remained shrugging with his arms such as the assessment, which is too often for fighters who distance from the city’s family’s favorite.
“To get most of the draw? I thought I won it. I think everyone at home thought I won it. I think the crowd thought I won it. It is as it is. What can you do? ” He said.
“He didn’t really land tidy – and if so, I landed tidy. I turned his head!
The only really dominant ruin Saada was the last round of the fight, in which he shot harmful shots, which had a clear effect.
Most of the previous rounds seemed clearly in favor of McGowans, and Saad – who also had to stay twice to talk to the judge to employ the head and elbow – apparently on the right track to the loss of their undefeated album, before the judges provided their controversial decision.
Today’s four-person television-transparency TV Card with the French promotion of the All Star Promotions-imitated only live and only in Great Britain and Ireland in Sky Sports, with the broadcaster of Continental Canal+ transporting it to European households.

Emiliano Vargas targets fight with George Kambosos after Bryce Mills fight

“Because before this fight, I would love to fight George Kambosos,” Vargas told Sean Zittel when discussing potential opponents after the Mills fight.
Emiliano stressed that his focus remains on Mills, but made it clear that he believes he is getting closer to the title.
“I’m going to show the world that I’m ready to fight for the title,” Vargas said.
The son of former two-time world champion Fernando Vargas believes that a good performance on the Jaron Ennis-Xander Zayas card can give him significant progress in the competition.
“After this fight, I would love to have a title eliminator or former world champion,” Emiliano said. “I’m second in the WBO rankings, 12th in the WBC. I’m there and I’m knocking on that door.”
Vargas comes into the fight off a win over Agustin Quintana in February. While this performance sparked debate among some fans, Emiliano considers the innings he saved as valuable experience in continuing to develop his game.
The undefeated fighter claims that during the last camps he expanded his training team and worked intensively on movement, angles and fighting under pressure. He also recently spent time in David Benavidez’s camp, drawing inspiration from the former world champion’s work ethic and aggressive style.
If Emiliano beats Mills on Saturday, attention will quickly turn to who will be next. From his comments, Kambosos is at the top of the list.
Kambosos, a former unified lightweight champion, would represent the most recognizable name of Vargas’ career and potentially take him one step closer to the title eliminator he thinks he wants next.

Gervonta Davis is currently fighting to return to one of the biggest fights in American boxing: “His team reached out”
Published

The future of Gervonta Davis remains one of the most talked about topics in boxing.
The Baltimore star hasn’t fought since a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr., which many observers felt should have gone against him after Roach was denied a knockout. Since then, a combination of legal issues and uncertainty surrounding his return plans have left fans confused about what will happen next.
Recently, however, there have been signs that “Tank” Davis is getting closer to a return. The WBA has ordered him to defend his lightweight world title against mandatory challenger Floyd Schofield, with Schofield’s camp previously suggesting progress was being made behind the scenes.
While Schofield was considered the favorite, another familiar option could now emerge.
On Sunday evening on social media, three-division world champion Devin Haney revealed that he was contacted directly by the “Tanka” team.
“I think Gervonta has gained some balls…his team has reached! We can just fight!”
I think Gervonta has gained some balls. His team reached for it! We might end up fighting! 😅
— Devin Haney (@Realdevinhaney) June 22, 2026
The timing is especially engaging given Haney’s current position. The WBO welterweight champion has recently been linked to both Shakur Stevenson and mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis, while “Tank’s” immediate future appeared to be tied to Schofield.
A fight between any two fighters: Davis, Haney and Stevenson would be one of the biggest fights in boxing today. However, there are two main obstacles standing in the way of a Davis-Haney fight.
The first is Haney’s mandatory duty. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri recently confirmed that the champion has been ordered to face Keyshawn Davis next and will not receive an exception to fight another fight.
The second, and perhaps bigger, issue for Davis is weight. “Tank” is the most comfortable lightweight campaign, while Haney now looks like a legitimate welterweight, even though he has only had one fight in the division so far. He seemed open to offering a catchweight of 144 pounds to fight Stevenson, but even that would be a significant disadvantage to Davis.

Devin Haney says Gervonta Davis’ team has made contact and declines to discuss the hydration clause

Devin Haney says that after years of calls for a fight, a fight with Gervonta Davis may finally be closer to reality.
Haney revealed on social media that Tank Davis’ team recently reached out about a potential fight. When the fan responded by warning him not to agree to any hydration restrictions, Haney quickly dismissed the idea.
“Never,” Haney repeated X about not wanting to agree to the rehydration clause.
The response came shortly after Haney suggested that discussions had begun between the two sides.
“I think Gervonta has gained some balls. His team has reached! We can just fight! 😅– Haney wrote.
The fight between Haney and Gervonta is one of the longest unanswered questions in boxing. Haney continued to fight multiple times during his lightweight title fight, but the fight never materialized despite years of public calls and fan demands.
San Francisco-born Haney became the undisputed lightweight champion in 2022, and Davis continued to build his profile as one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view attractions.
Haney’s rejection of rehydration clauses will likely become a talking point if negotiations move forward. Hydration restrictions became a major topic of debate ahead of Tank’s 2023 fight with Ryan Garcia, with many fans criticizing the terms of the deal.
Devin has recently been linked to potential fights against Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. His latest comments put Gervonta Davis back into the conversation after years of failed attempts to make the fight happen.
