Remember when Douglas handed Tyson his ego in a to-go box? Or when Holyfield served Tyson a dish best served… bitten?
Boxing legend Zab Judah joined WBC and IBF champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. for a virtual press conference Wednesday as the fighters discussed the undisputed championship and previewed Spence’s upcoming welterweight championship unification clash against WBA champion Yordenis Ugas taking place Saturday, April 16 live on SHOWTIME PPV from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.
If you ever wish to see just what can happen to a fighter’s equilibrium, to his ability to think in any way clearly after taking one perfectly placed punch to a vulnerable point of the head – be it to the point of the chin, or to the temple – the short but very memorable fight that took place 20 years ago today (November 3, 2001) between Kostya Tszyu and Zab Judah ticks the box in one graphic way.
Zab Judah says Mike Tyson is playing for keeps his eight-round exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr this Saturday night on November 28th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
In April of 2006, at The Thomas and Mack Centre in Las Vegas, friends turned rivals Floyd Mayweather Junior and Zab Judah met, with the unbeaten “Pretty Boy” (as Floyd was known back then, not yet having adopted his “Money” moniker) defending his IBF welterweight crown.
41 year old former world champ Zab Judah is currently recovering in hospital, having suffered a small brain bleed in his career-ending stoppage loss to Cletus Seldin.
The upset fever continues. Last night, although he was facing both a 41 year-old Zab Judah and an inactive one, Cletus Seldin was not being looked at as the man to end the long career of the skilled southpaw.
It was arguably the biggest win of the great Kostya Tszyu’s career, certainly his most memorable KO victory: Tszyu smashed Zab Judah to smithereens inside two rounds back in their 2001, 140 pound unification showdown, his vicious punch making Judah do “The Chicken Dance.”
Fans are still getting over the wild and crazy events that took place in Las Vegas this past Saturday night, when MMA rivals Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor went to war and then some.
Former two-weight world ruler Zab Judah made a successful return to the ring last night, widely decisioning Mexican journeyman Noel Mejia Rincon over ten rounds in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
