Frank Warren: Disappointed by Last Night’s Dereck Chisora Effort

09/28/201509/27/2015 Olly Campbell

Queensbury promotions boss Frank Warren has admitted he was disappointed by heavyweight contender Dereck Chisora’s (22-5, 14ko) underwhelming 10 round decision over Brazilian journeyman Marcielo Nascimento (18-11, 16ko) last night, a fight that amounted to no more than a dull [televised]public workout for the former world title challenger in front of a partisan crowd at the SSE Arena.

It was Chisora’s second outing without long-time trainer Don Charles, whom he split from earlier this year, and he thoroughly failed to impress despite attempting a fast start against a fighter who was knocked out in 2 rounds by Chisora’s domestic rival Dillian Whyte in February.

Chudinov defeats Buglioni

09/27/201509/26/2015 Vladimir S

In a predictable outcome, WBA “regular” super middleweight title holder Fedor Chudinov (14-0, 10 KOs) had little problems in beating an over-matched #4 WBA challenger Frank Buglioni (17-2-1, 13 KOs) by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision tonight at the Wemblay Arena in London, UK.

Tyson Fury remains unsurprised that Wladimir Klitschko has pulled out of their October 24th heavyweight clash citing a calf strain, causing the fight to be postponed.

The giant 6′ 9″ challenger predicted as much over two months ago, saying he wouldn’t be surprised if Wladimir did what David Haye did to him twice and pull out injured.

At last night’s annual British Boxing Board of Control awards dinner in London – run in association with Boxing News magazine – unbeaten current IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook was named as fighter of the year.

Last year’s award went to former super middleweight world champion Carl Froch, and recognises the period August 1 2014 – July 31, 2015, just encompassing the month of Brook’s career best and title winning triumph over Shawn Porter in Carson, California last year – a fantastic achievement.

Matchroom Sign Chris Eubank Jr. / Boxing in October and December

09/25/201509/25/2015 Olly Campbell

For a week or so now, it’s been something of an open secret in boxing circles that interim WBA middleweight titlist Chris Eubank Jr will be signing with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport.

The news became official today with the ‘unveiling’ of the British legend’s son at a press conference in London, announcing that he will indeed box on both the October 24th Brook v Chaves bill in Sheffield, as well as making a second outing in December on the Joshua/Whyte card at the O2 as part of an initial 3-fight deal.

Kell Brook Will Also Win World Titles at 154 & 160 says Hearn

Matchroom boxing’s Eddie Hearn – promoter of IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook – says that he can envision his fighter cleaning house at welterweight before moving up in pursuit of world titles at both 154 and 160.

Brook fights Argentina’s Diego Chaves on October 24th in Sheffield before supposedly then closing out his year in December on the big Anthony Joshua/Dillian Whyte bill from London’s O2, that it’s mooted will be the 3rd Matchroom/Sky PPV of 2015.

Steve Collins Backing Buglioni All the Way

09/25/201509/25/2015 Olly Campbell

Irish boxing legend Steve Collins is predicting that not only will Frank Buglioni (17-1-1, 13ko) dethrone Fedor Chudinov (13-0, 10ko) tomorrow night when the two go head-to-head for the Russian’s WBA (reg) title at the SSE Arena in London, but that the ‘Wise Guy’ will move on to become a force in the 168 lb division.

Collins, along with his brother Paschal, train Buglioni largely from their Celtic Warriors gym in Dublin and claim they have prepared their man better than ever before as he makes the huge jump from domestic to world level, with a focus on tightening the notoriously leaky defence that saw him stopped on his feet by Belarusian trial horse, Sergey Khomitsky last year.

Scott Quigg/Carl Frampton Closer Than Ever say Both Camps

09/24/201509/24/2015 Olly Campbell

The much sought after 122 lb UK unification clash between IBF boss Carl Frampton and WBA (reg) titlist, Scott Quigg is closer than ever before according to both parties, although it’s still far from a done deal yet.

The ongoing, back and forth saga, has seen numerous shifts toward hot and cold, on and off, with Hearn previously offering a flat £1.5 million offer that was rejected by team Frampton when the financial minutiae – including PPV revenue – was scrutinzed, potentially leaving Frampton worse off than Quigg, who is only a 2nd tier belt holder.

Luke Campbell/Kevin Mitchell Possible for ‘Bad Intentions’ Card

09/24/201509/24/2015 Olly Campbell

Matchroom Sport’s unbeaten London 2012 gold medalist Luke Campbell (12-0,10ko) has been added to the December 12th Anthony Joshua/Dillian Whyte bill, with a promise that the lightweight star will be in a big fight on the night, quite possibly in a WBC title eliminator against Dagenham’s Kevin Mitchell.

Campbell (WBC #8) was last seen at the beginning of August, outclassing domestic rival Tommy Coyle en route to earning a 10th round stoppage, picking up the lightly regarded WBC international 135 lb strap in the process and improving his ranking with the Mexico-based governing body.
