    “Derek is a tough guy – he comes forward, puts you under pressure, bites down on his gumshield and throws the kitchen sink at it.

    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 9
    Sharipova starts the final stanza very quickly, unleashing plenty of punches on the inside.

    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 8

    A fight with Amanda Serrano next year awaits Taylor should she win? But has her performance so far been as impressive as she’d have liked?
    The 35-year-old has been in some tough wars throughout her career and isn’t looking her crispest tonight.

    They get back to boxing and Taylor wins some quick exchanges on the inside, landing a left hand to the body.
    Sharipova comes forward again but Taylor dances in on the inside again and lands big shots.
    Taylor holds when she gets in while Sharipova tries to break through and land something meaningful. Good fight.
    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 5
    Good round for Taylor but Sharipova doesn’t look bothered at all.
    Taylor shows her class with some brilliant boxing and her opponent looks to have lost a little bit of her early snap.
    Ebanie Bridges ringside says: “Taylor’s winning but considering Sharipova hasn’t been at this level, she’s performing well.”

    Taylor with more of her speed in the fourth but she’s making a little harder for herself in there by engaging so much.
    Sharipova more than happy to fight fire with fire but Taylor gets the better of the exchanges.

    3-1 Taylor.
    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 3
    Taylor asked to increase the tempo by her trainer. Taylor opens up with a combination but Sharipova comes right back.
    Decent action in the third as Taylor looks to use her speed to better affect.
    Taylor looks like she’s setting up for the right hand and is a little busier in there.
    2-1 Taylor.
    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 2
    Hand speed from Taylor early on in the second but Sharipova lands a nice right hand.
    Good shot there from the Kazakh, she’s well positioned with her feet. Taylor has to be careful she doesn’t pull out of the exchanges with her chin in the air.
    Not a bad round from the challenger.
    1-1, perhaps?
    TAYLOR VS SHARIPOVA – ROUND 1
    Sharipova comes out aggressively but I’ve to stop to say – this Liverpool crowd is absolutely on fire.
    Taylor trying to manage the distance early as her opponent gets to work on the jab.
    Taylor lands a nice check-hook, then goes for a right hand but is brought into a clinch by Sharipova.
    Speed difference evident so far. Quite an even first round.
    THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!
    There She Goes by The La’s ring out here in Liverpool as Taylor makes her way to the ring.

    Diaz was touted to be fighting Ryan Garcia at the end of this year, but the 23-year-old injured his shoulder, leaving a space open for Haney.
    The 135lb champ jumped at the chance to challenge Diaz, who signed on the dotted line just two weeks after Garcia’s withdrawal.
    Haney will have a huge undisputed title fight with George Kambosos Jr on his mind after the Australian’s big win over Teofimo Lopez last weekend.
    But The Dream will need to stay focussed on Diaz, or he could suffer the same fate his rival Lopez did, putting a clash with Kambosos at risk.
    When is Haney vs Diaz?

    Devin Haney’s massive clash with JoJo Diaz will take place on Saturday, December 4 – TONIGHT.
    The fight will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
    There will be a full capacity crowd in attendance at the event.
    For UK fans, you can expect ring-walks to begin at around 4am GMT in the early hours of Sunday, December 5.

    What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

    Lopez vs Kambosos Jr will be shown live on DAZN in the UK.
    You can live stream the action from the DAZN app, which is available for
    download onto your mobile device, tablet or Smart TV.

    “He can’t outbox me, I’ll show him he can’t out bang me, I have the size advantage, all the tools to win.”
    Diaz said: “If he wants to try and box, I’m just going to hunt his a** down,” Diaz said.
    “If he wants to come and bang, I’m just going to bang it out as well. Whatever he wants to bring to the table I’m going to bring it.

    JoJo Diaz inspired by George Kambosos Jr’s heroics as he vows to beat Devin Haney and land undisputed fight with Aussie

    JOJO DIAZ has been left inspired by George Kambosos Jr’s heroics – and will use it as motivation to land an undisputed title fight with him. Kambosos beat the odds and Teofimo Lopez at the same time last weekend in New York, winning the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC ‘Franchise’ belts.

    The only missing jewel to officially become undisputed lightweight king is Devin Haney’s full WBC title, which Diaz challenges for on Saturday.
    The determined American, like Kambosos, is the betting underdog and will use the Australian’s performance to inspire an upset of his own.
    Diaz, 29, told SunSport: “I’m already motivated due to the fact this is everything I ever dreamed of.
    “Fighting in Vegas as the main-event for the WBC lightweight title, broadcast on a primetime network like DAZN.
    “This is already everything I ever dreamed of, so that motivation is already there, but to see something like Kambosos win, it’s not shocking as it is boxing.
    “But it did give me that extra motivation as I know that anything can happen in boxing and I know that I’ve put in the time and effort.
    “God’s going to bless me with the victory.”

    Haney, 23, who is promoted by Eddie Hearn, had verbally agreed to put all the titles on the line with Lopez, 23, just days before Kambsos, 28, spoilt the party.
    But already, the unbeaten champ has turned his attention to the newly-crowned lightweight ruler, who will be ringside to watch in Las Vegas.
    Now, like Kambosos did to Lopez, Diaz plans to throw yet another spanner in the lightweight works and steal not only Haney’s title, but the shot at undisputed glory.
    He said: “After this fight, I want to challenge Kambosos for the undisputed.
    “If everything goes well and I end up looking spectacular, and Kambosos wants to fight and DAZN and Eddie Hearn are with it too, we can make it happen.
    “I’ve already seen and witnessed everything that can be thrown at me in the ring and nothing that Devin Haney has to offer is anything new.
    “I’m just going to go out there, look spectacular Saturday night by applying a lot of pressure and using my ring generalship, my experience, my boxing tactics.
    “But also my speed and power as well. I’m excited to go out there and perform and shock the world and the lightweight division.”

    Haney never technically won the famous green and gold belt in the ring, instead being elevated from ‘interim’ champ to the full title.
    That came after Vasiliy Lomachenko, 33, was moved to ‘Franchise’ status, before Lopez’s triumph over the Ukrainian in October 2020.
    It has led to Haney’s rivals levelling accusations of legitimacy against him, one of Diaz’s biggest verbal weapons in the build up to their fight.
    He said: “I just want to punch him in his face for all the s*** talking he’s been doing.
    “I just feel like he made it here the easy way, not the hard way and I want him to pay for that.
    “I’m going to do everything possible to try and knock him out, of course, I’m not going to be overwhelming, swinging and look for the knockout.
    “I’m going to be fighting smart and fighting defensive and making sure I’m applying the right pressure.
    “If the opportunity presents itself when I have him hurt, best believe I’m going for the knockout.”

    Kambosos later said: “I set him up beautifully. That was not a lucky shot. That was many months of setting that shot up. Working on that shot.”
    The newly-crowned champion, who also got up off the deck in round ten, is set to stay Stateside and watch Devin Haney defend his WBC belt against JoJo Diaz.
    Haney’s promoter Eddie Hearn wants to set up a massive undisputed title fight with Kambosos, if the American, 23, beats Diaz, 28.

    Hearn told Boxing Social: “It was such a brilliant performance, so I think it’s disrespectful to say that George Kambosos is an easy touch. 
    “He just beat Teofimo, who beat Lomachenko. So George disserves respect and credit, and right now, he’s the man. I don’t mind saying it.
    “Devin Haney is my man, but massive respect for George and his dad. But right now, George is the man; he has the standout victory in the division.
    “And this win for Devin this Saturday will be another standout victory, and then the two must meet.”
