This content is protected * Bilal Akkawy has said he has received advice from Canelo who has told him you can win this fight, you can knock this guy out. Bilal has also said '' Ryder is a southpaw he doesn't move that much but is very solid SMW . Ryder stands has ground and style of boxing suits me. " * This development is a worry. Bilal has said on Twitter his world title fight is no longer on Main Event TV or Fox due to fight schedule. There is a possibility of streaming , waiting on confirmation. * Well worth a listen Episode 19 . First 10 min they talk about Akkawy Title fight and then talk of Tim Tszyu PPV fight and recoup of Hogan and Browne losses. https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode/363267
I heard Jeff Horn v Michael Zerafa in September mentioned today. Good fight for both guys if true. Horn needs rounds & Zerafa has the skills to give them to him. Both are too advanced for Junior Tszyu at this point Tszyu needs to supplement his local campaign with a couple of carefully selected international opponents. Then take on Zerafa & Horn.
* DDP has stated if Hogan hand being handed the dec he could have made upto $ 5 m over his next 3 fights with the bulk of this coming from a all Irish mega clash with Spike O ' Sullivan and the sky rocketing value of being the first fighter to be Munguia. * Joke This content is protected * Jeff Horn will likely return to the ring Aug 31 in Bendigo against Michael Zerafa. The Hornet hopes a victory will lead to another bout in Dec. Rushton has spoken with Golden Boy two weeks ago and discussed a two fight deal leading to Canelo.

Jason Whately winner ko and now will face Victor Oganov at The Timber Yard June 1. * First Haumono and now Bob Mirovic who is fighting another veteran Moses Sorovi 27 July. This brings back memories.

Sorovi?!? Christ almighty..this one must be international waters. I was watching a fight of his on YT only a few months ago and I kid you not Ansett was one of the sponsors. His son is a decent rugby player and he must be in his mid 20's.
LOL Horn and his team are deluded clowns seriously who is he going to pick a belt up off? Jacobs? Andrade? Good luck LOL. 43 year old Mundine and the stripper Zerafa should be great prep for Canelo or GGG. This clown talks more BS than Mundine and Green put together.
Horn did all that he can , can't cee him winning a world title again , his style don't suit gets hit way to much . As for Akkawy he has da style to win more than one world title an achieve more than what Horn has done .
* This is not good news. Unfortunately as i mentioned before Akkawy tweeted his fight wouldn't be shown live and the reason is that the fight with Ryder isn't on the PPV portion of Canelo vs Jacob. The bout will be one of the first on the night , with the dec makers still working out if it will air in Aust. * Two of Aust Boxing legends have come out in support of Akkawy. https://www.sportingnews.com/au/box...hony-mundine-boxing/8j4fldk6x7w113esxk6li2adl This content is protected
* Sandman made a good call on Haumono. '' Its also worth noting that announcement a fight with Haumono & actually getting him in the ring are two different things. " Yep Demsey Mckean is looking for new opponent June 8 Broadbeach . * Same card Aust CW Champ Ben Kelleher is fighting a international opponent Patrick Fergus 14 - 1 11 ko. * Tommy Browne fighting for WBF SWW Title opponent TBA Menangle June 1. * Jayden Mitchell returning June 29 Flemington opponent TBA. * Two fights to be shown on Fox May.
