“Good afternoon London, it’s great to be here and this is it, the Super-Lightweight final for the Muhammed Ali Trophy.
Promoter Kalle Sauerland says there’s no way that there won’t be a winner in this Saturday’s World Boxing Super Series tournament final between IBF light welterweight champion Josh Taylor and WBA champion Regis Prograis.
Josh Taylor has warned Regis Prograis against turning their highly-anticipated World Boxing Super Series Ali Trophy Final into a “dog fight” and insists that he possesses the power to knock his opponent “spark out” should the chance present itself.
Regis Prograis says he’s willing to give former four division world champion Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner a title shot for the right amount of money after he finishes unifying the light welterweight division.
The yesterday-announced fight between British heavyweights Dereck Chisora and David Price could easily have attached to it the tag-line – “Two Careers On The Line.”
Prograis said what separated IBF welterweight champion Spence (26-0, 21 KOs) and WBC champ Porter (30-3-1, 17 KOs) was the 11th round knockdown that Errol scored.
Joseph Parker (26-2, 20 KOs) has pulled out of his heavyweight clash against Dereck Chisora (31-9, 22 KOs) that was scheduled for October 26 at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Joseph Parker isn’t phased at all with the intimidation tactics that Dereck Chisora is trying on him ahead of their fight next month on October 26 at the O2 Arena in London, England.
