      Gennady Golovkin and Ryota Murata confirm middleweight unification in Japan on December 29… in rare WEDNESDAY fight

      by

      GENNADY GOLOVKIN and Ryota Murata have confirmed their middleweight unification bout in Japan… in a rare WEDNESDAY fight night.Golovkin will put his IBF title on the line against Murata’s WBA version on December 29 in Saitama.

      Japan has a long history of New Year’s Eve events in martial arts, stretching back to the early 2000s.
      But Golovkin’s trip to the Far East will conclude two days shy of the landmark date on the fight calendar.
      He travels to Murata’s hometown for a midweek, Wednesday main-event, a rarity in boxing.
      GGG won the IBF title vacated by former rival Canelo Alvarez, 31, in October 2019 in a razor-thin points victory over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, 36.
      He defended it against Kamil Szeremeta, 32, in his last fight in December 2020, but has not returned since.
      Golovkin, 39, said: “I am really excited to be bringing the Big Drama Show to Japan, a country where boxing is very popular.  

      “Ryota Murata has been an outstanding champion.  It is going to be a special night when we meet in the ring to unify our titles.  
      “We are going to give the fans a great fight.”    
      Murata, 35, has a 16–2 record and has been beaten only by Hassan N’Dam, 37, and Rob Brant, 31, but won both rematches.
      He was the WBA’s ‘Regular’ champion and was later elevated to their full title with Canelo now campaigning at super-middleweight.
      Golovkin was unfortunate not to walk away with a 2017 win against Alvarez, after they drew, and contentiously lost the rematch a year later.
      Murata considers the controversial results a write off, as he set his sights on dethroning Kazakhstan’s middleweight king.
      I am really excited to be bringing the Big Drama Show to Japan. Gennady Golovkin
      He said: “I feel that my entire amateur and professional boxing career has been a preparation for this fight against Gennady Golovkin.  
      “This fight will determine my place in the middleweight division and boxing history.
      “Gennady Golovkin has long been the standard-bearer of the middleweight division. To me, he is still undefeated. I have the highest respect for him.  
      “It has been almost two years since my last fight, because of the pandemic, but I have put that time to good use, working very hard with my trainers on improving my physical conditioning and adding more power to my punches.  
      “I am so proud Japan is hosting this fight.  It is a great honour for me.”
      Chris Eubank Jr says Gennady Golovkin fight has to happen soon More

      Kid Galahad strips and misses weight by one OUNCE but returns to scale inside featherweight limit for Kiko Martinez bout

      by

      KID GALAHAD stripped down and missed weight by one OUNCE – before swiftly returning to scale inside the featherweight limit. Galahad returns home to Sheffield for the first defence of his IBF belt, won against Jazza Dickens in August.

      But the homecoming title parade almost hit the rocks after he stepped on the scales just above the featherweight limit at 126.1lb.
      And despite stripping off with only a towel protecting his modesty, the Brit was still an ounce short.
      But it did not take long for Galahad to return to the scales where he successfully made 125.5lb, inside the 126lb cut off.
      Galahad, 31, has been beaten just once in his 29-fight career, against Josh Warrington, 30, in a disputed 2019 points loss.
      But he captured the title vacated by Warrington in 11 rounds against Dickens, 30, in their rematch two months ago.
      Spanish veteran Martinez, 35, has fought the likes of Carl Frampton, 34, Scott Quigg, 33, and Warrington in Britain.

      He was also unlucky to be on the end of a points loss to Zelfa Barrett, 28, in February.
      But Galahad promised no such controversy when he takes on the experienced Martinez.
      He said: “Forget those unification fights for now, it’s all about Kiko Martinez on Saturday night, going in there and doing a job on him.
      “I’m not looking to just go in there and win.
      “He’s had some bad decisions in the past against Barrett and Warrington, so I know he’s going to come and not try leave it to the judges’ hands – that’s what I’m going to do.
      “I’m going to go in there and seriously hurt him.”

      However, seasoned Martinez will not make it easy for the Brit.
      With 25 more professional fights to his name than his opponent, the Spaniard’s experience could certainly give him an edge despite being the underdog.
      This is Galahad’s first fight since he beat Jazza Dickens in August, where he became the IBF world featherweight titleholder.
      Galahad has been very confident coming into the fight and has said: “I’m very well seasoned, I can’t see another featherweight who can beat me.”
      When is Galahad vs Martinez?
      The fight takes place on Saturday, November 13 and the event is expected to start at 7pm GMT.
      The ring-walks for the main card will take place at 10pm.
      There will be a full capacity crowd in attendance at the event in Sheffield.
      How can I stream Galahad vs Martinez?

      The event is available to view on the DAZN app from 6pm.
      DAZN subscriptions cost £7.99/month.
      The fight will not be aired on a traditional TV channel, with the service only available on streaming devices including smart TVs.

      Who is on the undercard?

      Kid Galahad vs Kiko Martinez (featherweight)
      Stevi Levi vs Polina Golubeva (featherweight)

      Chris Billam-Smith vs Dylan Bregeon (European cruiserweight title)
      Terri Harper vs Alycia Baumgardner (WBC and IBO World super featherweight title)

      What have they said?
      Martinez has praised his opponent going into the fight, saying: “Galahad is a very good boxer and I respect him, but I am very confident in my abilities.”

      He added: “I am excited with this opportunity. To become a world champion in a second weight division is my goal”.
      Galahad is also showing plenty of respect for his competition.
      “We saw how sharp and hungry he looked against Zelfa Barrett recently so with this being his chance to become World Champion again, I’m expecting an even hungrier and sharper version and I will be preparing for exactly that,” he said.
      He also expressed his excitement of being in his home town: “I am beyond excited for this. It will give me a great sense of pride to be making my first World Title defence right here in Sheffield, the city where my boxing journey began with the legend Brendan Ingle.”  More

      Meet Jaime Munguia, Mexico’s next star who is trained by legend Erik Morales and wants ‘historic’ rivalry with Canelo

      by

      JAIME MUNGUIA is on the way to becoming Mexico’s next great hope – and already has boxing royalty in his corner. The former light-middleweight champion is trained by the legendary Erik Morales, who enjoyed one of the greatest rivalries of all time with Antonio Barrera.

      Unbeaten Munguia, still only 25, can only dream of such an epic trilogy with fellow countryman Canelo Alvarez, currently boxing’s top attraction.
      But if anyone is going to guide him into a potential all-Mexican showdown, Morales is the man for it.
      The pair were introduced by promoter Fernando Beltran, and Munguia’s idol soon turned into a mentor.
      Mungia told SunSport: “I’ve always been a fan of Erik.
      “He’s a great idol of mine and he’s was a very technical fighter, entertaining to watch, he had a great defence. 
      “He had great attacks and he was a very complete fighter, always very fun to watch.
      “My favourite fight was the one with Daniel Zaragoza, where he won the world championship.” 

      Munguia won the WBO world title against Sadam Ali in 2018 as a 21-year-old and made five defences – one against Britain’s Liam Smith – before moving up.
      He is now at middleweight, where he has won three times, and returns against veteran American Gabriel Rosado over the weekend.
      It will be his toughest test at 160lb, the division where in 2018 Munguia was refused the chance to fight Gennady Golovkin by the Nevada commission.
      He said: “I have a lot to prove in this new weight division. 
      “I am ready to show everybody what I am made of, I’m ready to show what I’ve learned from my experience and that I’m a great fighter.”
      Rosado, 35, has had a storied 41-fight career with several ups and downs, enough to justify his role in 2015 Hollywood hit Creed, a Rocky spin-off movie.

      In his last fight, he knocked out hot prospect Bektemir Melikuziev, 25, a fierce reminder of his giant killing ability.
      Munguia said: “I think Gabriel will come out and box, use his jab. But I have to be very careful, because Gabriel is a very experienced fighter. 
      “I feel I need to be prepared for whatever Gabe is able to do in the ring and adapt to that. 
      “But of course I will make sure I am the best version of myself fight night and take control of the fight on the night.” 
      Munguia was ruled out of filling in for Canelo – who was serving a six-month drug ban – to face GGG at late notice almost four years ago amid safety fears.
      Now settled at middleweight, the heavy-hitter – who snubbed the Olympics to turn professional at 16 – has set his sights on finally fighting Kazakhstan’s 39-year-old danger man.
      And the move up to middleweight has also put him within touching distance of Canelo, 31, now the undisputed super-middleweight champion.

      Alvarez has long yearned for a Mexican counter part fit to share the spotlight, having failed to do so with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 35, who he dominated in 2017.
      Munguia’s trainer Morales came off second best in his epic trilogy series with Barrera, which stretched from 2000-2004.
      The brutal rounds still live long in the memory for boxing fans, and has inspired Munguia to try and one day replicate the rivalry with Canelo.
      He said: “I think that would be something historic. It would be a very exciting fight, for all boxing fans to see.” 
      “Obviously, it would be a great war. I’d apply a lot of pressure, come forward. That’s what Mexican fighters do. 
      “It would be an exciting war for all the fans.”

      “JoJo wasn’t in a rush to fight me, I feel like we had to corner him to make him take the fight, all these other guys it’s the same thing,” Haney said.
      “They know my skills set, how much I bring to the table, if JoJo didn’t take this fight the world would have known what it really was. December 4, they’re going to see.
      “I do feel like his [Joseph Diaz Jr.] style will be tailor made for me, there’s nothing that he can do to win.
      “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.
      “I feel like I’m at my prime, I feel like I’ve already took all the steps I needed to take to be at this point in my life and my career. As far as taking fights with Jesús Rojas, Tevin Farmer, Gary Russell Jr., Javier Fortuna, I’ve already fought those top tier contenders.” More

      Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, full card for lightweight clash

      by

      BOXING welcomes back one of its brightest stars in Teofimo Lopez later this month as he takes on George Kambosos Jr in New York. Lopez hasn’t been in the ring since he defeated Vasyl Lomachenko in outstanding fashion over a year ago due to a multitude of issues.

      The Brooklyn fighter was supposed to fight IBF mandatory challenger Kambosos in June on a Triller show but came down with Covid weeks before the fight.
      It was put back to August, and then two different dates in October, while promoters Triller aimed to find a suitable night to place the fight.
      Eventually, Triller had their rights to promote the fight taken away by the IBF, and the next highest bidder was Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and DAZN, who quickly put together a date and venue.
      When is Lopez vs Kambosos Jr?

      Teofimo Lopez’s clash with George Kambosos Jr will take place on Saturday, November 27.
      The bout will be held at the Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
      There will be a full capacity in attendance for the fight.
      Fans in the UK can expect ring-walks to get underway from 4am GMT on the morning of Sunday, November 28.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Lopez vs Kambosos Jr will be shown live on DAZN in the UK.

      Reshat Mati vs Gregory Trenel

      What have they said?
      “[At my gym] we put up a photo of us at the face-off,” Kambosos said.
      “I looked into the eyes of a soulless kid who is on a leash. I saw that he can’t do anything by himself.
      “That’s why I crossed his eyes out because I don’t need to look into his eyes. I saw what I saw at the face-off and that’s why he’s never been the same since then.”
      Lopez has said: “He’s in trouble, a lot of trouble. He’s going to be massacred.
      “One round (is all it will last) because all that talking doesn’t work.
      “You (Kambosos) have been in two fights that were split decisions against Mickey Bey and Lee Selby. I ain’t Mickey Bey. I ain’t Lee Selby.” More

      MUTUAL RESPECT
      Kamara Usman and Colby Covington were mocked by the referee after embracing at the end of their five-round war at UFC 268.
      Usman and Covington exchanged words of encouragement to one another inside the octagon, before referee Dan Miragliotta praised them for their sportsmanship.
      The ref said: “Ahh, I like that. Good job gentlemen. Much respect, much respect.”
      The two fighters then came together once more and hugged out their animosity, receiving a round of applause from the Madison Square Garden crowd in the process.
      This time, however, Miragliotta could not help making fun of the pair’s decision to embrace in the ring.
      He added: “Alright go kiss later. Go back to your corners! Go.”
      PLANT WELL
      Caleb Plant was praised for his valiant effort against Canelo Alvarez despite losing the clash by a bunch of fighters.
      Danny Garcia said: “Congrats to Canelo, he closed the show like a true champ. Respect to Plant.”
      Joseph Diaz added: “What a fight, Canelo always closes! Respect to both fighters. Plant put on a great fight.
      “We’re witnessing true greatness what Canelo is doing in his career.”
      And Jamel Herring chipped in saying: “Shout out to my guy @SweetHandsPlant for putting up a good effort.”
      NOT A WHITE IDEA
      UFC boss Dana White has warned Kamaru Usman to stay away from Canelo Alvarez.
      Both fighters won their fights last night in their different categories with Usman beating Covington in the UFC, and Alvarez disposing of Plant in the boxing ring.
      Usman’s been flirting with the idea to take on Alvarez in a cross-sport bout to cement his legacy, but after watching both fights, White doesn’t think that would be a good idea.
      He said: “I watched the Canelo fight tonight.
      “He [Usman] don’t want to fight Canelo, he don’t want to fight Canelo. Come on, man. Let’s stop this s**t. If Canelo wants to come over here, awesome fight.
      “Those two put on an incredible performance (tonight).”
      CANELO’S THE BEST
      Canelo Alvarez has been labelled the best boxer in the world at the moment after his win over Caleb Plant.
      The praise was led by Manny Pacquiao who said: “Congratulations to the pound-for-pound king, Canelo, on making boxing history as the first undisputed super middleweight champion ever.
      “Plant put up a great fight but Canelo is just too good. Boxing is in great hands”‘
      Devin Haney, who takes on Joseph Diaz next, also chimed in, stating: “Canelo is the best mf fighter in the world! Period.”
      YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul also added to the mix, jokingly stating that he is thinking of signing Canelo to his Most Valuable Promotions label.
      PLANT APOLOGY
      Canelo Alvarez revealed that Caleb Plant apologised to him after their fight last night.
      Things had got heated in the lead-up to their bout which ended in and Alvarez win, but after the slug-fest, Plant let Alvarez know that he meant no harm.
      Speaking after his win, Alvarez said: “He told me after the fight that he wanted to keep fighting, that he wanted to continue.
      “And he also apologised to me and said what he said about my mother, he didn’t really mean it and that he was truly sorry for that.
      “I told him: ‘Look, it’s ok, it is water under the bridge.’
      “I told him he is a great man and I told him one day I hope he has a great family as well. I only wish the best for him.”
      WHITE’S ALL RIGHT
      Dana White won a staggering $100,000 (£74k) bet after Canelo Alvarez’s stunning KO of Caleb Plant, writes TOBY GANNON.
      The UFC chief – who oversaw a stacked card in which Kamaru Usman beat Colby Covington – placed the huge wager on the P4P king before their super-middleweight undisputed world title fight in Las Vegas.
      And it was quids in for White, who walked away with $41k (£30k) after backing the Mexican to win by knock-out.
      Canelo, 31, struggled throughout the fight but sent Plant crashing to the canvas in the 11th round.
      He is now the first-ever undisputed super-middleweight champion in history – and has banked at least £30m for his troubles.
      And White is a whole lot richer for it, too.
      The 52-year-old – who watched the fight on TV while sitting in the front row at UFC 268 – admits he is a ‘degenerate’ gambler having lost a $1MILLION (£741k) boxing bet in 2007.
      APOLOGY
      Caleb Plant apologised to Canelo for insulting his mum.
      The American did so during their post-fight embrace – Canelo told him: “We are men, everything is OK – we keep going.”

      KING CANELO
      Canelo is the undisputed super middleweight champion. One of the greats!

      CANELO RETURN
      Canelo says he plans to have a rest now after four fights in 10 and a half months.
      And the Mexican star says he will be back in action in May to rest his body.

      While being interviewed by Showtime, the 55-year-old said: “God willing I’ll fight again in February.”
      SunSport exclusively revealed that was the former heavyweight champion’s plan – and he wants a ‘really stimulating opponent’.

      CANELO VS USMAN?

      “He don’t want to fight Canelo. Come on, man. Let’s stop this s***. If Canelo wants to come over here, let’s do it.
      “He don’t wanna box Canelo.”
