New Turki card for Saudi Arabia for October 12th

[10point-must]

Joe Cordina - Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov in Cardiff on April 22, 2023 was not only a fight of the year candidate, but may be one of the best ring wear match-ups I’ve ever seen. Nearly perfect. Each boxer’s gear, on its own, was clean, well designed and well matched. The two boxers together contrasted each other nearly perfectly -- Cordina sported white on blue (with a touch of gold), matching white/blue/gold Fly gloves, white/blue/gold Nikes; Rakhimov red with white trim, red Grant gloves and red Nikes. Nearly perfect red/blue negatives of each other. On top of that, the fight opened with an adrenaline spiking, goose-bump inducing Welsh national anthem. What a delight.

Respect box.

CORDINA DEFENDS IBF CROWN AS MATCHROOM RETURN TO THE CASINO DE MONTE CARLO ON NOVEMBER 4

Two thrilling World Title fights and two more championship bouts will light up Monte Carlo in a night of elite boxing on Saturday, November 4, live worldwide on DAZN (excluding - France and French Overseas Territories, Andorra and Monaco).   Welsh hero Joe Cordina will defend his IBF Super-Featherweight World Title against highly-rated American rival Edward Vazquez at the famous Casino de Monte Carlo.    Undefeated Cordina (16-0, 9 KOs) is widely regarded as one of the best British fighters today, a two-time champion of the world in just 16 fights, and returns to the ring following his breathtaking victory last April over Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov. And Cordina makes his way back to Monaco, where he overcame Mario Enrique Tinoco in November 2019.   The Tony Sims-trained champion, 31, will face a tough challenge in Vazquez (15-1, 3 KOs), who gets his first-ever World Title shot thanks to a four-fight winning streak. The 27-year-old Texan’s only career loss to date was a split decision defeat by Raymond Ford in May 2022.   Another all-action World Title fight is in store when South Africa’s Sive Nontshinga puts his IBF Light Flyweight championship on the line against Mexico’s Adrian Curiel Dominguez (22-4-1, 3 KOs).   The ‘Special One’ Nontshinga (12-0, 9 KOs) makes the second defense of his IBF crown, which he won in a fight of the year contender against Hector Flores Calixto in 2022, and this bout promises to be another enthralling 12-round fight.   The future of French boxing will be on display, too, as Souleymane Cissokho defends his WBC Silver Welterweight Title against Isaias Lucero.   The 2016 Olympic Bronze medallist is undefeated as a professional (16-0, 9 KOs), and will be looking to put on another strong showcase of his incredible talents on home soil when he collides with hard-hitting Mexican, Lucero (16-1, 10 KOs).    The inspirational Ramla Ali will seek redemption as she looks to avenge her only professional loss to date in a rematch with Julissa Guzman for the IBF Inter-Continental Super-Bantamweight Championship. Mexican Guzman (13-2-2, 7 KOs) sensationally stopped Ali (8-1-0, 2 KOs) in round eight when they met in New Orleans back in June.   Campaign activist Ali, who fled war-torn Somalia as a refugee at the age of 12 to move to the UK, was selected as one of Time Magazine’s Women of the Year for 2023 and is a global ambassador for UNICEF along with Cartier and Christian Dior. A win over rival Guzman will reignite her dream of becoming a future World Champion.   More unmissable bouts will be confirmed in due course, along with ticket details.  "I'm excited to be fighting at the Casino de Monte-Carlo for a second time as I put my iBF Super-Featherweight World Title on the line against Edward Vazquez," said Cordina. "I have happy memories of fighting in Monte Carlo, landing the WBA Continental Title in my first outing down at Super-Featherweight, and I'm looking to put on another explosive performance on November 4 as I continue to work towards unifying the division. Tune in live on DAZN."   "We're delighted to be returning to beautiful Monte Carlo for another stacked night of World Title action," said Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn. "This will be our first fight night in Monte Carlo since 2019, and I'm thrilled to be returning with a huge World Title double-header featuring IBF Super-Featherweight World Champion Joe Cordina defending his crown against Edward Vazquez and IBF Light-Flyweight World Champion Sive Nontshinga putting his belt on the line against Adrian Curiel Dominguez. "The stunning Casino de Monte-Carlo is a special and unique setting within boxing and we have a thrilling night of championship action in store for fight fans around the world on DAZN. Ramla Ali looks exact revenge over Julissa Guzman and French star Souleyman Cissokho continues his climb up the Welterweight ladder as he faces Isaias Lucero, with more fights to be announced soon."

WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson is training for his title defense against unheralded Floyd Schofield on February 22nd in Riyadh. Fans are curious whether Shakur, 27, can make it through training camp without suffering a relapse from his injured right hand. Hand Healed? Shakur hurt his right hand in training for a title defense against Joe Cordina on the October 12th card. The fight was canceled, and this will be Shakur’s first time back since surgery. If Stevenson’s surgically repaired right hand breaks down during the Schofield fight, he will be forced to move around the ring as he did against Edwin De Los Santos in their fight on November 16, 2023. Assuming Stevenson does make it through training camp without his hands falling apart him, he has a tough fight against the 22-year-old Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs). This guy can punch, is aggressive, and sees this fight as a way to put himself in a position to fight Gervonta Davis. Shakur needs to look good in this fight because he’s performing on Turki Al-Shiekh’s loaded Riyadh card. His fight with Schofield is buried beneath four other fights on the card, which signals that he’s lost status after two lackluster performances against Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin De Los Santos. Schofield has no experience against world-level opposition during his short career, and some fans believe the only reason he’s getting the title shot against Shakur is because his dad talked his way into the match on social media. Schofield was given a high ranking by the World Boxing Association for beating fluff opposition, but he doesn’t rate a top 15 ranking in true terms. Floyd struggled to beat journeyman Rene Tellez Giron on November 2nd in his last fight. Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) needs to impress against Floyd Jr., who is 22, to win back the fans he lost after his last two fights against De Los Santos and Harutyunyan. Many people have given up on Shakur, viewing him as a typical runner after those two fights. Stevenson had been fighting that way since he turned pro after getting beaten by Cuba’s Robeisy Ramirez in the 2016 Olympic finals. Some naive boxing fans had hoped Shakur would evolve. Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened. The saying goes, ‘A tiger can’t change its stripes.’ The Newark native Shakur just doesn’t fit in this modern boxing era. He belongs to the Mayweather era in the 1990s before the Internet age. Nowadays, fans have little patience for boring fighters who run. You must entertain. Schofield isn’t quite as big a puncher as De Los Santos, but he’s still dangerous and young. He will be going all out, looking to knockout Stevenson to position himself for a fight against Gervonta Davis. 8 weeks out 📸 @ShakurStevenson pic.twitter.com/kVFaJGMV9J — Shot By Zax📸 (@ShotByZax) January 2, 2025 https://www.boxingnews24.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Shakur-Stevenson-vs-Edwin-De-Los-Santos_action16-boxing-photo.jpg 2025-01-02 17:18:10

Oleksandr Usyk Topples Tyson Fury to Win Undisputed Heavyweight Crown

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — There can only be one heavyweight champion, and he is from Ukraine.  Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) defeated Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) by split decision in a dramatic, seesaw battle to capture the undisputed championship Saturday evening at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With the victory, Usyk became only the second former undisputed cruiserweight champion, following Evander Holyfield, to repeat the deed at heavyweight. It looks like the two will do it again, as a rematch is tentatively planned for October. Usyk said, "Yes, of course. Rematch. I am ready!” “I believe I won that fight. I believe he won a few of the rounds. I thought I won a majority of them, and I believe it was a — what can you do — these are the decisions in boxing. We both put on a good fight, the best we could do," Fury said, “We go back, have a little rest up, spend some time with our families, and get it back on in October.” Fury succeeded in the early rounds, peppering Usyk with savage right hands to the body. Just as it looked like the reigning lineal champion would add another notch to his Hall of Fame belt, Usyk stunned Fury with an overhand left in round nine that sent him reeling into the ropes. A series of power shots, punctuated by another sweeping left, sent Fury staggering near a neutral corner. Referee Mark Nelson called it a knockdown, and Fury rose gingerly to his feet as the bell sounded to end the stanza. Fury somehow recovered, but the tide had turned. The 223-pound Usyk was pushing the pace against the 262-pound behemoth, winning the 10th and 11th rounds on two of the scorecards to secure the victory. Fury rebounded to win the 12th on all three cards, but it was too late. Usyk, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, is now king of the heavyweight division. In other results: Cruiserweight: Jai Opetaia (25-0, 19 KOs) UD 12 Mairis Briedis (28-3, 20 KOs), Scores: 117-111 and 116-112 2x. Opetaia wins IBF Cruiserweight World Title & Retains Ring Magazine Cruiserweight Title. Junior Lightweight: Anthony Cacace (22-1, 8 KOs) TKO 8 Joe Cordina (17-1, 9 KOs), :39. Cacace wins IBF World Title. Heavyweight: Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KOs) KO 7 Frank Sanchez (24-1, 17 KOs), 2:33. WBC Title Eliminator.

Lightweight: Mark Chamberlain (16-0, 12 KOs) TKO 1 Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab (23-2, 16 KOs), 2:42. Chamberlain wins vacant WBC Silver Title.
