Cant see anyone coming out of that fight with a baby face.

I take it we’re all lashing £500 on Del Boy?

You’ve just reminded me, I’ve gotta put the bins out. Nice one.

The build up should be fun. Chisora can be hilarious at times.

[Anubis]

Continuing the theme of boxing becoming a farce.

Rewatched the Khan/Brook fight yesterday and forgot that the atmosphere was insane.

This seems as good a time as any to highlight BBC iPlayer are currently showing the 1978 episode of Parkinson featuring John Conteh.

Not just a great boxer but  very entertaining with it and a reminder that his two fights with Matthew Saad Muhammad are on Youtube.

The Parkinson show also features Pete n Dud but Conteh’s the real star.

Decent card that, I thought Mundo had retired but noticed he was on the Yafai-Edwards undercard 

[Bjornebye]

Superb card

Multiple outlets report that three-time world champion Israel “Magnifico” Vazquez has died at 46 after a battle with cancer.

 

Nine years into his professional career, Vazquez picked up his first world title with a 2004 finish of Jose Luis Valbuena for the IBF super bantamweight belt. After two successful defenses, he picked up the WBC belt from Oscar Larios and made another pair, most notably scoring a comeback knockout of Jhonny Gonzalez.

 

This success led to the defining bouts of his career: a four-fight series with Rafael Marquez that produced two Ring Magazine Fights of the Year, two Rounds of the Year, and earned its own Wikipedia page.

 

Vazquez emerged from the original trilogy with a 2-1 advantage, but suffered a detached retina along the way and was a shell of his former self when they met for a fourth time in 2010, falling in the third round.

 

He ended his career 44-5 with 32 knockouts.

The WBC recently opened a GoFundMe to cover his treatment for stage four sarcoma, but Mauricio Sulaiman announced his passing earlier this morning.

 

Vazquez was a fighter’s fighter and left an indelible impression in the history of this sport. Rest in peace, champ.

"I am a professional boxer."

 

Of course you are, mate. That's why you were going to fight someone from UFC and your last two fights were against internet nonces.

The all-action Nick Ball will defend his WBA featherweight title against Ireland’s TJ Doheny at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool on March 15, it was announced today. 

 

The 27-year-old Ball, who hails from Liverpool, is unbeaten in 22 pro fights and the only blemish on his record to date is a draw against Rey Vargas in March. Since then, he has beaten Ray Ford, which delivered him his current belt, and also Ronny Rios, whom he stopped in 10 rounds. 

 

For Doheny, meanwhile, this title shot against Ball represents a move up in weight. Last time out, when down at super bantamweight, he was stopped inside seven rounds by Naoya Inoue. Now 38, Doheny, 26-5 (20), likely knows this his final shot at world title glory. 

 

Given their respective styles, the featherweight clash between Ball and Doheny could be an exciting one.

Stay busy fight, not something I'd pay to go and see but probably deserves an easy night's work considering his last few fights.

Shock, that. Munguia just looked far too casual after knocking the guy down, and paid the price.

[Elite]

Imagine getting knocked out by a french boxer. The embarrassment.

[sir roger]

I reckon I could take that Tony Yoka, as long as there were no French judges.

Some reason I can't link to the usyk/fury 2 promo but its worth checking out on YouTube.
