Clarke told The Stomping Ground: “He’s very much a talker, is Adeleye.”There’s a little story, we were at a show in Birmingham we had a little bit of a confrontation.

    Sam Eggington packs in 9-5 house cleaning job after SIX DAYS to make boxing U-turn for Lee Cutler fight

    SAM EGGINGTON threw in the towel on his 9-5 job cleaning houses after just SIX DAYS – so he could make a tidy boxing return.Eggington – who has treated fans to some of Britain’s bravest bouts – left his career in doubt after defeat to Abass Baraou in March 2023.Sam Eggington quit his house cleaning job to return to boxingCredit: @eggington_samBut he returned with a comeback victory against Alan Sebastian Velazquez in November to get back to winning ways. It also brought an end to Eggington’s brief, week-long job clearing out houses with his brother. Eggington, 31, told Ring Magazine: “I went and worked with my brother for a bit. It was alright, it is what it is. “There was nothing happening at the time so I got a job with my brother. We were cleaning out houses for the council, I didn’t mind it at all.READ MORE IN BOXING”But to be fair pal, I know people keep saying ‘Sam went and lived a normal life’ but I was there from probably Tuesday one week to the Wednesday after. “I barely had a full-time job. I went for the interview, I got the job but I was there for six days max. The job was good but I was just cleaning out houses.” Eggington has been in brutal bouts and come up controversially short before – like his Fight of The Year with Ted Cheeseman in 2020.He lost another tight points decision in Telford against Baraou for the 154lb European title – losing hope in the sport in the process. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSHe said: “I was just like, I’m not getting any favours in close fights. “I don’t think I’ve ever got the rub of the green or the right end of a close fight. Epic trailer for Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron rematch “The Cheeseman fight was another one I thought I won, the performance was unreal.”Eggington – who admits to not watching much boxing as a fan – returns against Bournemouth’s Lee Cutler on Easter Sunday in Birmingham.Topping the bill is the rematch between Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron. Cutler beat Stephen McKenna in a breakout performance in December – not that Eggington saw it though. He said: “I didn’t watch it, but as long as I do what I do, I’m 100 percent confident it’ll be a good night. “I’m not going to change my style for anyone. You go and watch the best Sam Eggington, that’s what people can expect on the night, I’m not changing a single thing for him.Read More on The Sun”I always make sure in my fights that I don’t make myself look like a fool. I’ve been stung once against Hassan Mwakinyo where he caught me early. “I train so hard, 12 hard rounds, I’ll throw as many shots in the 12th round as I do in the first.”Lee Cutler faces Eggington in BirminghamCredit: Getty More

    ‘This is everything for me’ – Liam Cameron out to snatch Ben Whittaker’s ‘stardom’ from him in bitter rematch

    LIAM CAMERON is out to snatch Ben Whittaker’s stardom in their bitter rematch.The pair look to settle their score on Easter Sunday in Birmingham – six months on from their controversial draw in Saudi Arabia. Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron ahead of their rematchCredit: GettyIn Riyadh, the bout prematurely went to the judges scorecards after five rounds when the pair went over the top rope.Injured Whittaker was unable to continue – with many feeling Cameron was on the road to an upset. Already Cameron won over a legion of fans with his humble approach compared to cocksure showboater Whittaker. And Cameron told Ariel Helwani: “This is life-changing for me. This is mega, mega-stardom for me in my own head. This is everything for me. READ MORE IN BOXING”This is, in a way, life or death in boxing. Do you know what it is? It’s one fight at a time [but] this is how much I want to win this fight — if I could win [just] one more [fight] in my life, and lose every single one of them [after that], it’d be this one.”Whittaker was accused of QUITTING after being pulled out before the halfway mark.And Cameron said: “I can remember thinking, I’m going to start [going through the gears], he’s unraveling — I’m going to stop him. “So I [stepped on the] gas a bit and hit him with some body shots, and he fell off balance, and he’s falling [onto] me. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”Then he’s hitting me low, he’s holding a lot, he’s spitting his gum shield out, and [the fall out of the ring] just happened so fast.”It’s like when you’re having a hard spar sometimes, it’s horrible, [isn’t] it? And you’re tired — and that’s what it [was] like for Ben. Ben Shalom suggests Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron contract row has been fixed after ‘expensive’ mistake “He didn’t want [any] part [of the fight], his emotions got to him, he [was] looking all over. “I study body language and stuff — I watched everything of that fight, and he [was] like a rabbit in the headlights. Even in [the] corner, he got [the] shock of his life.”Controversy has also surrounded the rematch too. Cameron revealed he was sent a contract for a 12-round bout while Whittaker’s was for ten. Promoter Ben Shalom appeared to suggest the dispute had been resolved via financial compensation towards Cameron. But the former Commonwealth middleweight champion – now up at light-heavyweight – hit back to say no agreement had been reached. Opening up on the paperwork gaff, Cameron said: “What happened is we signed for a 12-round contract.”When I [was] signing, I thought, ‘This is a bit strange.’ [Whittaker was] tired after five [rounds] the last time, and this is [for] a 12, it [doesn’t] make sense.”Then obviously, a week later, it happened. [Promoter BOXXER was] saying, ‘Can we do 10 [rounds]? There’s been a mishap [with the contract], and will Liam do a 10 [round fight] now?’ And we’ve been saying no.”It remains unclear whether the dispute has been resolved or not. But regardless, Cameron said: “I’ve [now] got confidence in myself. “It can’t be every time that people are having bad performances, they’re [taking] me lightly. It was the same with [Arthur] before Ben. “He [supposedly] took me lightly. I [was] there to get beat both times, stopped, and looked good against.”But I’ve been boxing [for] years. I’ve done everything as an amateur apart from [going to the] Olympic Games. “I [was] on the GB podium [squad], and I turned it down and went pro. I’ve got pedigree, I am a good fighter. “I am, it’s been proven now. I just don’t like the fact that people [are] saying, ‘Oh, it’s an off night.'”That [was] Ben’s time to look good in Saudi. He had a fight penciled in for December, headlining in America. “There’s no way he took me lightly. He [wasn’t] showboating or anything — that’s all excuses. How long ago was that? “[Was] that four years ago [the 2020 Olympics — which took place in 2021]? That form is gone now. Read More on The Sun”[It’s been] four years [since Whittaker was] fighting at [the] elite level. He’s had shoulder injuries, he’s not boxed the best people. “What’s he done in [those] four years of boxing professionally?”Whittaker and Cameron went over the top rope in their first fight which ended a drawCredit: Getty More
