Last night in Miami, on Don King’s latest show (yes, the 91 year old is still going!), likeable, easy to root for heavyweight Jonathan Guidry pounded out a ten round unanimous decision win over faded former WBC heavyweight champ Bermane Stiverne.
Don King’s latest fight card has gotten a little smaller, yet heavyweight Jonathan Guidry benefits in as much as, for the first time in his career, he will be the main event fighter on a big (ish) stage.
Bermane Stiverne, the man Deontay Wilder defeated, in a rare decision win, to take the WBC heavyweight title, still wants to see Wilder take on fellow former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua.
Well, the show did go on. After one strange week, with fights that had been announced for Don King’s first card in such a long time being scrapped at the last minute, plenty of people were wondering if there would be any boxing taking place in Hollywood, Florida.
Both Trevor Bryan and Bermane Stiverne, who will clash tonight on Don King’s troubled card in Hollywood, Florida, have weighed-in.
And these two heavyweights really are heavyweights.
Some fights are destined never to happen. It looks like we can add Trevor Bryan vs. Manuel Charr to the list.
A Manuel Charr comeback? A Bermane Stiverne comeback? A Don King comeback? Up on BoxRec is a three-fight card set for The Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida on January 29th.
In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.
Chris Eubank Jr. (28-2, 21 KOs) had too much youth, speed and talent for former IBF super middleweight champion James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (25-3-1, 15 KOs) in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision tonight in their long awaited match on SHOWTIME at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Undefeated British Heavyweight sensation Joe Joyce came face-to-face with Bermane Stiverne ahead of their Commonwealth Title clash today, but it erupted between the Former World Champion and the British fighter’s manager.
