Ezechiel King: Nahir Albright Def. Kelvin Davis
Certainly the fight, which caused the greatest drama over the weekend, was the hostile Keyshawn Davis, Nahira Albright, returned from almost two years of release to overcome the oldest brother Keyshawn, Kelvin. Kelvin Davis hit Albright, wearing a five -inch advantage, but he rarely used it during the fight. The Albright game plan was clear from the very beginning: JAB His path as Davis and his right hand.
In the second round, it was perfectly managed, initiating the knees of a larger man and dropping him into the following fury, although the judge ruled. The fight became more and more physical than that moment, because Kelvin held and tried to intimidate Albright against the lines when they gathered, although Albright was more successful, finding a place for his shots in the middle. All this served to make Davis’s crime hard, because he was moved to the average of four power, he hits the round.
Davis has become powerful in the last three rounds, landing in seventh place in seventh power, when the pace became crazy, but the damage was caused. Albright Outlande and hurt Davis several times, making the decision of the majority in the territory of the enemy. For Davis it was quite a terrifying result, because all his flaws began to cost him his undefeated album in his hometown. The resulting drama will probably also have consequences for his brothers.
On the other hand, Albright reached a successful return to Pro Ranks, rejecting him an undefeated perspective in the recent weight class and potentially establishes a rematch with the former champion Keyshawn Davis.
Sean Hemphill def. Mark Jeffers
Heading through the pond to Yorkshire, a pretender to the super weight of IBF, Mark Jeffers, lost “O” with American Sean Hemphill, even though he was a substantial favorite -1000. Jeffers pushed the pace early, while Hemphill was pleased that he would sit and collect his arrows. The overturning changed in the fourth round, when Hemphill decided to stand on the ground and a fight with Jeffer.
No warrior had a problem with landing on his man during the whole fight. When he developed, Hemphill began to look like a more complete warrior – he willingly stands and trades or gives earth – and showed better variety in his shots. Although Jeffers could land cleanly, it was often a cost of two or three blows landed for Hemphill. The fight became really exhausting when she wore, both men feel the pace and damage, but again the American simply adapted better.
Mark Jeffers simply turned out to be a little too united in this fight and was summarized by a guy he was about to beat on paper. In my opinion, this is a symptom of turning your tires a little too long, because Jeffers simply did not raise levels, as it probably liked. Meanwhile, for Sean Hemphilla it can be a bit of a breakthrough, because Jeffers is by far the best warrior he beat, and the division remains relatively slim.
Close to Miss: Callum Simpson Def. Ivan Zucco
Stopping in super medium weight and in Yorkshire, the local hero of Callum Simpson received some fear by the invincible Italian boxer Ivan Zucco. Simpson, a much larger and better man, entered the immaculate 1-2 from Southpaw Zucco, just a few seconds into the competition-for the first time he was knocked in his career for the first time.
Simpson tried to prove that it was FUKS, pressing Zucco into a rope many times, as long as the Italian repeated his feat, dropping Simpson after the second time, when a larger man was promoted to him. Simpson did not look particularly damaged after any of them, but both were immaculate.
However, this is where the fun stopped for Zucco, because the man from Yorkshire fought him for the ropes for most of the remaining fight, and Zucco from time to time finds success outside the third round. It is approaching tenth tenth, when Simpson passed Zucco three times before the Italian corner called him resignation.
Simpson managed to stop in front of his hometown; In this fight, however, there were some really disturbing signs, especially for someone who struggles with such as Hamzah Sheeraz. For Ivan Zucco he strongly exceeded his expectations, but I would be shocked if he had ever left the European level, because he was simply too miniature and he lacked power.

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
