President WBO Gustavo Olivieri presses Ali Act’s behavior

Published

In a preventive strike addressed to anyone who plans to improve the Muhammad Ali Act, the president of the World Boxing Organization Olivieri separated the statement this week, supporting federal boxers protecting rights.

“It is legislation that remains the cornerstone in the protection of boxers against conflicts of interest, unfair contracts and unstable practices,” Olivieri eager. “It promotes ethical standards, independent rankings and securing the rights of fighters at a time when the renovated calls to weakening or repealing the act must be vigilant.

“WBO strongly supports the behavior and strengthening of this critical law for the integrity of sport and the protection of those who compete in it.”

Do not make a mistake that this attitude is directly reacted to the specific plans of the newly proposed TKO boxing promotion, which will sign warriors and stage fights in conventional weight classes, with the intention of granting their own belts, because TKO Head and the general director of UFC, Dana White, for years in its mixed martial arts organization.

Although the strength of the TKO Association with the Saudi Saudi Saudi Saudi Alabia boxing association is less sure than before this month after the decision to separate the promotion of the planned superfight from the four masters of four champions Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Terenka Crawford, White met with the association Mazzulli. Granting belts.

“The problem is no belt.

“There is no independence. It is an absolute control of the entire structure. This is not good. There should be an equal balance. Therefore, in our republic there is a balance of power – executive, legislative and judicial power. The purpose of separating power is that no one will replace the others and there will be no power.

In the social media post from the Battle Sports lawyer, it is warned that promoters acting as managers and studied are “the main conflict of interests”, reminding that Ali Act protects them from “long -term contracts that you cannot escape” and “hidden financial agreements that rob your just cuts.”

Olivieri said he was “absolutely concerned” that the TKO model would begin to water the Ali Act.

And while the White and former chairman of the UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta, adopted the principle of “running for regulation”, while obtaining the approval of MMA from state committees throughout the country in the years of formative organizations, close to White’s friendship with President Donald Trump probably authorizes him to implement any adaptations that he may have been working since 2000.

White and UFC spokeswoman did not immediately answer questions about the position of TKO about the Ali Act.

“The act serves the purpose. That is why it was adopted – to protect warriors,” said Olivieri. “At the negotiating table, the fighters are in an undesirable situation. They do not have a lever in most situations. Act – although it is not perfect – if it is properly and consistently enforced, the fighters have some protection. You prefer to have operation on site and you do not need it than not need and need it.”

After the takeover of Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel in December, Olivieri will cope with the situation with warriors as part of the creation of his novel program “WBO Conding Back”, which begins an educational conference in June.

“Ali’s Act is part of this. This is crucial and should be defended and supported. Fighters should know their rights, from a rating perspective, in the scope of financial disclosures and all other provisions that lend a hand them to avoid using contracts – all pockets that include the act,” said Olivieri.

“We will also deal with financial knowledge, legal advice, investments, acquisition of the first number of people, knowledge of minimum contractual guidelines-critical financial information, about which the fighter should be aware of. Thanks to our novel WBO program at least will provide warriors with some tips through seminars, publications, educational social media, films and tutiorski.”

WBO also has a selfish interest in this position-until it still exists as one of the four main organizations of separate ratings authorized to grant lanes and charging fees for sanctions.

“There should be an independent assessment system,” said Olivieri. “The current structure is not perfect, but it is proper, and if consistently enforced, we should not have a problem. The assessment structure is not perfect, sanctioning bodies are not perfect, but if we act with transparency and honesty, we should not have a problem.”

Olivieri said that there may be a way to solve it all through restructured Ali laws, if the changes improve the position of fighters.

“I have no objection to sitting and reviewing the rules that can be improved from the perspective of fighters,” said Olivieri. “I know we’re here for fighters.”

Tyson Fury’s immediate reaction to the fight with Anthony Joshua after signing the contract

Published

on

Tyson Fury was apparently left speechless when he finally reacted to Anthony Joshua agreeing on the terms of meeting him in the ring. Joshua has signed a multi-fight deal to make his comeback, starting with a fight against little-known Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on July 25.

If Joshua escapes unscathed, he will face Fury in November, most likely at Wembley, and the fight will be streamed on Netflix. After the announcement, Fury took to social media, posting only an eye emoji in response. The 37-year-old is currently recovering from his own fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov two weeks ago, which Fury won on points.

After the fight, the former Olympic champion urged Joshua to join him in the Tottenham ring, but his rival refused. Fury claimed he had already signed a contract to fight Joshua, with whom he had been on a collision course for a decade.

However, Joshua has yet to do the same, and his rival has made it clear that if the fight falls through, he will retire from the sport for good.

“If it’s not Anthony Joshua next time, I’m not interested in boxing,” Fury insisted. “I’ll eat a thousand Easter eggs, get to 35 stone and leave, I’m not interested. It’s either him or I’m gone again. Right now I’m only interested in AJ. It’s the most significant fight for British boxing; either it happens or it doesn’t.

“He was brought to the ring for a reason, to enter the ring, confront and end the fight,” he added. “He was very evasive and didn’t give any definitive answers.

“I know one thing, he didn’t say yes.” In my opinion, he didn’t want to smoke. He didn’t look like he wanted it, he was just shocked and didn’t know what to say.

“He came to the ring to fight. If it were me, I would jump into that ring and face him. Ten years of preparation and yet, after all this time, there is still no certainty that this fight will be next.”

“I don’t want to set any deadlines. Either he wants to do it or he doesn’t. It’s now or never.”

However, Joshua has now put pen to paper, stating: “It’s no secret that I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready to get back into the ring, and today is the next step in that journey. I’m delighted to have agreed a multi-fight contract starting on July 25 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“I’m looking forward to competing and picking up where I left off. Like I said, the landlord will collect rent, that’s for sure.”

A boxing match turns into a mass brawl when the boxer’s trainer is taken to the hospital

A professional boxing world championship fight descended into chaos when a massive brawl broke out in the ring. Turkish Emirkhan Kalkhan and Russian Sergei Gorokhov faced off in the Besirli sports hall in the fight for the UBO world championship.

The tension reached a breaking point after the second round when Gorokhov secured victory over his opponent. The Russian was overjoyed and celebrated with his corner team before heading to Kalkhan to seemingly check how he was doing against his opponent.

A member of Kalkhan’s entourage then pushed Gorokhov away, before one of his cornermen lunged to deliver a thrust of his own. The situation quickly got out of control as both teams clashed in corner kicks, with spectators storming the ring to exchange punches and kicks.

Plastic chairs were thrown into the ring as a group of men attacked and kicked Coach Gorokhov. The boxer himself was left stunned as he desperately pleaded for an end to the violence before another group attacked him.

Falling to the canvas, Gorokhov was hit with chairs and subjected to a barrage of kicks before disappearing under a wave of enraged attackers. Meanwhile, a separate clip shows Gorokhov’s cornerback Igor Sudalainen lying on the floor and holding his head as security personnel and some of Kalkhana’s team tried to restore order.

After the incident, Gorokhov posted updates from a nearby hospital on social media. Sharing the message via the stories section of his Instagram account, he said: “Hello everyone. We are currently in hospital in Turkey.

“Ismail [trainer] he suffered a head injury and is currently undergoing an MRI. I got through it the least badly. The gloves helped protect me. Who saw the broadcast? “We were probably attacked by about 80 people.”

“They entered the ring and beat us after our great victory in the second round, where we knocked him out twice. However, the Turks behaved very badly.

“But thank God, everyone is alive. That’s what the fight was like, difficult. I’ll tell you later. We already have a police escort, we’ll go straight from the hotel to our rooms.

“I don’t think we’ll be spending the night there tonight. If anyone tries to pull a stunt, we’ll fly straight to Georgia. Then we’ll drive through Georgia overnight to Mineralnye Vody, and from there to Kaliningrad.”

“Thank you all for your support. We will be in touch. I will tell you everything tomorrow. World champion belt – we have a world champion in Russia, in Kaliningrad, in boxing. It was a very good fight.”

Gorokhov then posted another video on Instagram, confirming that he and his team had safely reached Georgia. He said: “We are in Georgia. We have the belt, we are champions. Thank you very much for your support, friends.”
