Turki Alalshikh shook his head to allow the coach/manager Canelo Alvarez Eddy Reyns WBC belt On stage, when IBF Super Middle Wweight William Scull in the pictures at today’s Kickoff press conference on their undisputed struggle for the championship of 168-Funts on May 3 in a place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Belt blocked

You could see how Turks look at Reynoso when he brought the WBC belt to the stage, he shook his head as if to say, “Don’t bring the belt to the stage.” Canelo looked at the Turks and pointed to the WBC belt, as if he asked if he didn’t want to pose him

It is strange in all this that Turki wants WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wweight Champion Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOS) to capture the title of IBF with Scull (23-0, 9 Kos) so that he can organize the unquestioned championship for “Large Fight” against Terenka Crawford on September 13. However, Turki says that he wants to have only one belt for each division with his novel boxing league, which he creates with Dana White.

As such, why should he worry about canelo to capture the last remaining title [IBF] become the undisputed champion when he does not recognize any of the four alphabet titles from the organization outside his novel league. Turki may as well start now, ignoring the Sculla belt and focusing on the name Canelo his novel champion in 168 for his novel league.

Turki league

No matter what Turki’s name he wants to call the belt. He could call the warehouse, but he should come up with something else to reflect the name of his league. Using ring belts makes more sense in case Turks in the boxing league and turns out A half -baked ideaHow World Football Leaguewhich began with the thought of competing with the NFL in 1974 and submitted in 1975. People who created this league spoke many of the same things about which Dana White was about the conversation of the league and becoming huge.

“I think it will be bigger than the Walt of Mayweather,” said Canelo Alvarez IFL TV About his fight against Terenka Crawford on September 13 in Las Vegas. “I think yes,” said Alvarez, asked if the fight against Bud would bring more than 2.2 million PPV, that his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013. “I will focus on Scull first.

“I saw that people also want to see this fight. It began to make sense and it is possible. We’ll see after May [3rd]- said Canelo Alvarez Ring magazine Asked what made him change his mind that he did not want to fight Crawford.

Daniel Dubois will not wait for the rematch with Fabio Wardley

Image: Daniel Dubois Won't Wait For Fabio Wardley Rematch

Daniel Dubois did not guarantee an immediate rematch with Fabio Wardley, saying he is focused on staying vigorous and defending his WBO heavyweight title rather than waiting for one opponent.

Wardley activated his rematch clause following his 11th-round loss to Dubois in April. After the fight, the Londoner rose from being knocked down early in the fight to maintain control and gradually break down the champion under constant pressure.


While a second fight has been widely discussed, Dubois suggested nothing has been finalized yet.

“Yes, well that’s what they’re talking about, but I’m not going to wait for anyone,” Dubois said when asked about Wardley in an interview on talkSPORT. “I’m going to take care of this belt, defend it.”

The 28-year-old added that he wants to continue to build on the success he has achieved after reaching the top of the heavyweight division.

“I can’t wait to start improving, getting out there and maximizing what we’ve done since I was a kid being taken to the gym with my dad. And now here we are,” Dubois said.

Dubois won the WBO title with a dramatic knockout victory over Wardley, who entered the fight with back-to-back wins over Justis Huni and Joseph Parker. Wardley had early success and scored a knockdown, but Dubois gradually took control as the fight progressed.

Dubois’ bulky shots left Wardley with severe marks around his eyes and a bloody nose before the referee stopped the fight in the 11th round. There was then a debate on whether the fight should have been stopped early.

Frank Warren has repeatedly indicated that a rematch is the likely next step, and Wardley has already confirmed that he intends to exercise his contractual right to a second fight.

Dubois’ latest comments do not rule out this outcome. However, they explain that he does not want to postpone his career until the negotiations are completed. The heavyweight champion wants activity and is focused on defending his belt rather than waiting for a fight schedule to be set.

Rico Verhoeven debuts one place behind Deontay Wilder in the WBC rankings

Published

on

Rico Verhoeven debuted one place behind Deontay Wilder in the latest WBC heavyweight rankings following his controversial defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in Egypt.

The Dutch kickboxing superstar was ranked eighth by the World Boxing Council, one place below former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder and one place above Efe Ajagba.

Wilder is in seventh place after defeating Derek Chisora ​​in April, leaving Verhoeven directly behind one of the most recognizable names in the division.

For a fighter whose only professional boxing fight was against Usyk, this is a sure landing spot.

Rico Verhoeven’s WBC rankings

The WBC has already indicated that Verhoeven will be classified after his performance against Usyk at the Giza Pyramids.

Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed that Verhoeven would be placed at heavyweight and later praised referee Mark Lyson.

The rankings now come as the WBA also placed Verhoeven fifteenth in its latest heavyweight rankings.

Verhoeven ranks behind Tyson Fury, Lawrence Okolie, Moses Itauma, Filip Hrgovic, Anthony Joshua, Frank Sanchez and Wilder on the latest WBC list.

Behind him are Ajagba, Richard Riakporhe, Martin Bakole, Andrii Novitskyi, Bakhodir Jalolov, Guido Vianello and Labinot Xhoxhaj.

Usyk vs. Verhoeven fight

Despite ultimately losing to Usyk on May 23, Verhoeven produced an effective, if unconventional, performance that put him ahead after ten rounds on the WBN scorecard.

If the Dutchman had survived the final round, he would have dethroned Usyk and few people would have questioned his eighth place in the ranking.

Instead, Verhoeven was stopped in the eleventh round with one second left, sparking immediate controversy over the timing of the intervention.

The WBC upheld the result and the referee. It also rewarded Verhoeven’s performance with a top-10 heavyweight finish.

Not everyone will be convinced.

However, in boxing it has happened before that fighters improved their position after a defeat. Francis Ngannou emerged from his split decision loss to Tyson Fury with more credibility than when he entered the ring.

Mark Robinson

Top ten heavyweights

Verhoeven’s ranking also continues a broader pattern, prompting further debate about how quickly the rankings can change for any given player when huge opportunities arise.

In Verhoeven’s case, the argument is easier to understand.

He pushed Usyk much closer than expected, led by ten on the WBN card and was one round away from one of the strangest heavyweight title defeats of the state-of-the-art era.

Still, try telling that to the other 32 fighters now below him on the WBC’s monthly heavyweight list.

Deontay Wilder targeted for ‘gigantic US heavyweight fight’: ‘I’ve wanted this fight for years’

Deontay Wilder targeted for ‘big US heavyweight clash’: “I’ve wanted the fight for years”

Deontay Wilder, who has won two in a row for the first time since 2019, is ready for another gigantic fight.

Wilder scored a scarce points victory over Derek Chisora ​​in Manchester last month, keeping alive a career that many thought was over after successive defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With his confidence boosted, the 40-year-old ‘Bronze Bomber’ said he would do everything to become a two-time world champion before hanging up his gloves for good.

A shot against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, while discussed, is unlikely due to the Ukrainian’s list of mandatory challengers. Instead, Wilder is in the best position to secure a powerful ranking and win the vacant belt if the opportunity arises in the next 18 months.

The only man willing to risk his No. 2 spot in the WBA rankings is fellow American Jarrell Miller. The controversial heavyweight fighter known as “Large Baby” talked about it. Play UK after years of trying, he’s still chasing the fight.

“Anyone who wants to go in there and throw their hands around has something in the tank. They’re still unsafe anyway.” But I’ve been asking him to fight for years, so if he gets vintage overnight, that’s his problem. I’m still going to punch him in the face.

Miller further added that he wasn’t terribly impressed with Wilder’s recent performance in the UK, but says a win would keep a potential rivalry between the two alive.

“I don’t think Chisora ​​was the same Chisora ​​who fought Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin. Sometimes fighters get older overnight. Maybe he wasn’t as motivated for this fight as usual. I don’t know.”

“I expected a little more from Chisora ​​in this fight, but that’s how it is. Wilder won, so now it’s better for me. I’ll try to fight a gigantic American fight and we will win.”

Miller, 37, failed to impress in his January fight against Kingsley Ibeh. He won, but his hair falling off during the fight made headlines, not the performance. The Brooklyn native returned in April against undefeated Lenier Pero and looked the better, winning a 12-round unanimous decision.

Notable for failing a doping test prior to his canceled fight with Joshua, “Large Baby” represents a gigantic name in the division. Given Wilder’s knockout streak and both fighters’ ability to sell the fight, a fight in America would be really gigantic.
