RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-23-2021 Ditto bart. You must be my long lost twin. Looked to see the Ramirez/Taylor fight on SKY. A no go. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-24-2021 WBO orders Joshua to fight Usyk The WBO Championship Committee has given the teams of WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk 10 days to negotiate and reach an agreement, otherwise an immediate purse bid will be called. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn requested an extension until Monday to discuss the subject and other related affairs with Joshua, but that request was denied. If no deal is reached and a purse bid is called, the split can be no greater than 80/20 in favor of Joshua. The minimum acceptable bid is one million dollars. Either camp may request a purse bid procedure at any time during the negotiation process. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-25-2021 Dubois ready for ‘fresh start’ Heavyweight Daniel Dubois (15-1, 14KOs) has revealed that he feels like he is starting his professional career all over again as he closes in on his date with Bogdan Dinu (20-2, 16KOs) with the WBA interim title at stake on June 5. Dubois, of course, suffered the unfamiliar sensation of defeat at the back end of November when he entered into a heavy duty domestic duel with Joe Joyce with multiple titles on the line, including the British and European. The 23-year-old, who had previously picked up nine championship belts in 15 fights, was considered by many to be the irresistible force of the heavyweight division, with the 2016 Olympic silver medallist believed to be a notable obstacle along his reign of terror that saw 14 of his opponents vanquished via stoppage. The 35-year-old Joyce, a far more seasoned campaigner in the sport, had other ideas and brought his know-how to the fore in repelling the Dubois onslaughts while picking him off with speedy and telling jabs to the eye of his younger opposition. It was those measured and powerful prods from the left hand of Joyce that caused a grisly injury to Dubois’ left eye that ultimately resulted in him taking himself out of the line of fire in the 10th round of a close contest in which he was actually up on the cards. So, instead of sitting back admiring his lofty ranking with the WBO and jostling for a seat at the top table, Dubois was left to lick his wounds and await medical reports over the severity of his injury. He was also left to ponder what went wrong and reconcile himself to the fact he would be embarking on a rebuild. Dubois admits reconciliation was not instant. “You know it took a few weeks actually, I must be honest,” he conceded. “Just to reflect, look back and slow everything down again, to pick up the pieces and start putting them back into place. I made decisions about the team, how we are going to move forward and what the next step is.” A step the bright young heavy insists did not include sulking, even though the taste of defeat was far from familiar. “I was doing a lot of things, picking up different sports like playing tennis and we’ve got a pool table at home, so I was doing a bit of that. “I needed to shake the feeling off that a loss brings. It is a down feeling and I needed to overcome it to come forward and see the light. “The last time I lost was an amateur, it was a good few years ago, when I was 16, probably. When you are a pro and the whole world is getting to see your vulnerabilities, it is interesting, you know. It is a proper sport this boxing. “You have to ride with it and now I am back again and ready to come back stronger. I’ve looked at it, examined it, now I am ready to push on again, iron out my mistakes and put it right.” During his period of contemplation Dubois reveals he harbored no doubts over his future participation in the sport, pointing out that his taking a knee maintained his own grip on his future plans rather than relying on medical opinion to continue. “No, I was honestly too busy feeling bad to think about that. Once I collected myself and pulled myself together, not once did I have doubts over whether I would be coming back. “Maybe it turned out right that I made the decision I did. “There was a break from everything, but I am used to being in the gym. Usually after fights it is ‘who is next?’ but that slowed down a bit and now is the time to start again in life. I feel like I am starting my pro career again, as if I am an amateur just turning professional. “That for me is great – a fresh start. There is no better feeling than the beginning.” RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-26-2021 https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/179337/179337 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-28-2021 https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/dillian-whyte-on-joshua-vs-usyk-its-a-dead-fight-usyk-hasnt-looked-good/179447 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-31-2021 Rozanski KOs Szpilka in one By Przemek Garczarczyk In a short, but spectacular WBC bridgerweight eliminator, Lukasz Rozanski (14-0, 13 KOs) scored a first round knockout over former heavyweight title challenger Artur Szpilka (24-5, 16 KOs) on Sunday night at the Hala na Podpromiu in Rzeszow, Poland. Szpilka dropped Rozanski in the first ten seconds, but Rozanski roared back to floor Szpilka three times to end it in the very same round! In the co-feature, cruiserweight Mateusz Masternak (44-5, 29 KOs) took a wide decision over previously unbeaten Adam Balski (15-1, 9 KOs). Scores were 98-92, 99-91 2x. RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 05-31-2021 Szpilkas punch resistance left him long ago RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-31-2021 Just checked Izu and he also got KO'd by Losanki, a fellow Polishman. Time for Izu to hang it up: https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/550312 Also, a little story about him: https://www.lowkickmma.com/hard-hitting-heavyweight-boxer-izuagbe-ugonoh-signs-with-ksw/ RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 05-31-2021 (05-31-2021, 02:57 PM)diehard Wrote: Just checked Izu and he also got KO'd by Losanki, a fellow Polishman.
