Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman and Moses Ituma vs. Mike Balogun weighed today to fight on Saturday, May 24 in Glasgow. They were the undisputed master of lightweight welterweight, Taylor (19-2, 13 KO), seemed positive, hitting the rock to his debut in 147 against Essuman (21-1, 8 KO).
The Saturday event will be shown live in Dazn and staged at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The 34 -year -old Taylor appeared today nonchalant, behaving as if his victory against Essuman was already certain.
Weights
Josh Taylor – 146.8 vs. Ekow Essuman – 146.4 Moses Itauma 254 vs. Mike Balogun 241
Taylor’s career on the line
Josh should be stressed because he fights the record, which is probably 0-3 from 2022. It was Taylor’s fall.
I hate to say this, but Taylor’s career is on Saturday against Essuman. He can pretend that this is only another fight for him, but his situation is tragic. The loss of a warrior at the national level of Essuman is the end of the line for a Scottish boy.
Josh probably will not retire, but fans and fighters will look at him as he has it. Losing from Catterall showed that Taylor is no longer world -class. He is a guy who would be food for 147 pounds.
Weight and future fears of Ituma
The ponderous Moses Ituma (11-0, 9 KO) arrived at 254 pounds for 10 pounds with a second-level warrior Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO). Ituma 6’2 ″ looked tender by weight and it seemed that she had too much volume for its height. Now he is escaping from it, but he will not do when he starts to participate in his rivals. It will probably be fine against this can of tomato, but if his promoters fit him with Martin Bakole, he will probably be revealed.
Ituma is too hit because it is against the cans he fought with. If he is not confined and does not focus on his defense, he will lose to such as Bakole, Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel and Richard Torrez Jr.
Is this Josh Taylor 2.0?
“This is Josh Taylor 2.0. So this is his beginning, and Ekow is on the road. I will do it a good job tomorrow,” said Taylor nowadays Weighting For his fight on Saturday against Ekow Essuman in Glasgow, Scotland. “It will be a comprehensive win for me.”
It sounds like Taylor’s wishful thinking, believing that this is a up-to-date beginning for him. If he could reverse his career, he would now and would not lose to Cattell and Teofimo Lopez.
“Josh Taylor had only one fight a year since 2020. This is not enough,” said Dazn commentator Ade Oladipo.
“No, it is not. He does not fight regularly enough, but of course he was not in the greatest form in terms of winnings and losses,” said commentator Carl Frampton. “He lost the last two and then returning to Jacek Cattell [in their first fight in 2022]And everyone thought he lost him too.
“This is necessary to win for Josh. I think he now replies to him that he is not at a distance to be slight -of -the -last.

David Benavidez says that Turks Alalshikh wanted him to fight in San Francisco Landmark, Alcatraz, but said he was not interested in fighting in ancient prison areas. WBC and WBA “regular” lightweight heavyweight master Benavidez said that the groundbreaking places that Turki wants to set up his events, such as Alcatraz and Times Square, “Get away from sport.“
Benavidez rejects the fight Alcatraz
The dimensions of the crowds are narrow in such places, and Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) prefers to fight in locations where many fans can enjoy his fights, not several chosen ones. It was one of the critics about the Times Square event in Modern York. A tiny, hand -chosen crowd, many prosperous, celebrated boxers and athletes attended.
Benavidez will fight Anthony Yarde and Callum Smith in August or September. He seems to be more interested in fighting Callum because he has a ephemeral WBO title 175-Funts. The “Mexican monster” wants to force the United Champion of three stripes Dmitry Bivol to fight him. A way to do this.
“The point is that he told me, that he wants me to fight in June at Alcatraz. And I am like Alcatraz, prison. I am not really trying to do it,” said David Benavidez this Pound 4 pounds from Kamaru And Henry. “
The Alcatraz scenery would be compelling for fans participating and watching on television. For people who were not there, she is attractive with water and a view of San Francisco. Benavidez’s fight would be a helpful fight on Alcatraz because it would attract a lot of attention.
“I like Turks, it’s really groundbreaking, but also what sport receives, if you try to fight in a specific place, such as Alcatraz and Times Square, now you take fans to see it. Who will go?” Benavidez said.
First of all, boxing fans from Bay Arena in northern California will take part in the Alcatraz event. Getting to the island requires a ferry, but it would be a larger crowd than the Times Square event.
Preferred established arenas
“I will watch, but for me as a warrior, I am not fighting in Alcatraz. There is something in the fighting. During the fight week you see fans, “said Benavidez, asked if he prefers to fight in places like T-Mobile Arena.
Benavidez decided about Alcatraz. He may regret rejecting this place, because anyone’s headers will bring a lot of attention all over the world. He has a narrow view of this, perhaps thinking that it is a prison, but the fight would be positive for his career.
“You go to the fighting and you see that fans are crazy,” said Benavidez. “There is nothing like that. I am a newfangled warrior. I like to feel energy from the crowd. When you feel energy, you hit someone in the face.” Ah “.
“You come to boxing and try to fuck ***, which has already been set for years. It will start a little ***,” Benavidez said about Turki. “Thanks to Bivol, I am not ecstatic that my title in this way. I would prefer to win it.”
Floyd Schofield vs. Tevin Farmer will fight for Undercard of Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Next month on Saturday, June 28. Schofield Sr. He was in praise today, announcing news about the fight Schofield-Farmer, telling his observers. “We take”.
Schofield-Farmer Fight was announced
The event will be shown at Dazn PPV from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The price is unclear, but it must be reasonable to lure hardcore boxing fans to buy a Pay-Per-view event.
This is a step forward for the undefeated delicate pretender Schofield (18-0, 12 KO), but not enough to erase memories of his removal from the fight with the WBC Shakur Stevenson champion on February 22.
The former super feather champion IBF (33-8-1, 8 KO) lost the last three fights with William Zepeda X 2 and Raymond Muratalla. However, these were competitive matches, and some boxing fans believe that the farmer deserved a decision in his two fights with Zeda.
The 22 -year -old Schofield looked like in his last fight in June Rene Tellez Giron. He made a lot of difficult shots and was dropped on 11 by Girona. Based on this performance, you must give the farmer, 34, a great chance to beat Schofield.
If Schofield loses this fight, he will have to rebuild his career from scratch, because it is a match that is to win. I doubt he will do it because it looks like another artificial work of noise.
“I can announce it now. It’s official. Schofield vs. Farmer, really and goes down,” said Floyd Schofield Sr. Social mediaSpeaking of his son, the fight of Floyd Jr from Tevin Farmer next month on June 28. “You can’t all do that, it’s not a good fight, and you can’t all in front, when my son didn’t accelerate.
Will the farmer reveal Schofield?
Schofield Sr. He must put a sock in it. His son could be unveiled by a farmer because he has too many talents, power and skills for the perspective.
“He has not fought since November, and now he goes straight to the ring with the two -time world champion,” said Schofield Sr. [William] Zepeda was not close to the first he did not win, and the latter was not really close.
“Either way, we are accelerating. We fight a good master, a person who can really box. You have to respect the names of these two fighters. Everyone cannot behave as if it was a fight **”, said Schofield Sr.
Mike Tyson’s returning fight in November brought sport and did nothing to aid in the long run.
This is the sight of the chairman of the highest degree and long -term boxing promoter, Bob Arum, who had enough YouTubers.
Arum, who is still looking after boxers after a fifty -year career in sport, emitted his competent views on the upcoming fight of Jake Paul with Julio Emperar Chavez Jr.
“Jake Paul is not fighting a real warrior. This is not even boxing. I mean Chavez Jr, I thought he had long suspended gloves,” said Arum to Fight Hub TV.
Former promoter Chavez Jr., who also promoted Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., added that the loss of Tyson with Paul had zero related to Pugilistic skills.
“Jake Paul is not a boxer. This is a spectacle. The event Tyson humiliated sport in boxing,” noted Arum. “Tyson was an vintage man. What are we talking about?
“But again, if Netflix or someone else wants to pay for this event, it’s okay, but I’m absolutely not interest.
“I’m not interested in the fight of Jake Paul versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., because it’s not boxing.”
After conducting Chavez to become a medium weight champion and ultimately the remuneration for view with Sergio Martinez, perfectly positions the arum to comment on the fight of Mike Tyson.
Paul stands in the face of Chavez after the fight with Tyson is a step to a boxing match, but his opponent is far from his time as a world champion.
The last press conference has proved that Paul has zero respect for Chavez, unless Tyson, whose influential boxer knew that he would raise his controversial personality in sport.
🤯 “It’s not even boxing! I mean that Chavez Jr should have been hanging, I thought he had put down the gloves a long time ago!”- Bob Arum
-Bob Arum says Jake Paul is not a boxer -It’s not interested in watching Paul vs Chavez Jr.
Arum is one of many critics who believe that Tyson’s return on 58 was a pointless exercise other than placing both pockets of both participants.
Gary Cobia, who recently faced 59-year-old Oliver McCall, talked to World Boxing News to add his thoughts about Tyson before defeat.
“I decided to come back after watching the fight of Tyson [Jake] Paul and Oliver [McCall] fighting [Stacy] Frazer. I decided that I was at the beginning of the 50th and I wanted to challenge, “said Cobia WBN.
In the fight with Tyson, in which “the worst man on the planet lost points with Paul without entering a fight, Cobia added:” I was surprised that he lost even at the age of 58!
“I do not know if it was set in this way, whether Mike could not move quickly enough. I watched many training movies. It seemed that he was in good shape and rapid with his blows.”
Esther Lin
Tim Bradley, who was the world champion under the arum and again discovered as an analyst and vlogger, never stopped Tyson vs. Paul.
“Jake Paul is ab*m. I tried to tell you. Plain con artist. He is a magician. He goes straight to the bank. Mike Tyson is the one who sold this fight.
“I told you everything that is 58 years vintage, all this consumption and tears on his body. He is basically a senior citizen. He did nothing of Jake Paul.
“He probably landed all night of one or two blows. It’s terrible, man,” he concluded.
Despite the die -hard objection, Paul defeats his first world champion this summer and calls more significant names in his pursuit of recognition.
