    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.

    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.

    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.”

    ‘That was not lucky shot’ – Watch Kambosos pull off exact same punch that dropped Lopez in amazing training footage

    GEORGE KAMBOSOS JR proved the right hand he dropped Teofimo Lopez with was no hit and hope. Kambosos, 28, had Lopez, 23, down in round one of their lightweight world title fight in New York.

    And he later went on to capture the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC ‘Franchise’ belts with a heroic upset.
    The early knockdown put the wheels in motion and Kambosos had it all mapped out before the fight.
    A clip uploaded by BOXRAW revealed the Australian practising the overhand right which decked Lopez.
    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.”

    Eddie Hearn slams Teofimo Lopez’s ‘delusional’ dad after he blames promoter for son’s shock defeat to George Kambosos Jr

    EDDIE HEARN revealed he was blamed by Teofimo Lopez’s dad for his son’s shock defeat to George Kambosos Jr. Lopez, a Top Rank star who fights on ESPN, defended his unified lightweight titles on Hearn’s Marchroom Boxing bill, aired by DAZN.

    But disaster struck as Kambosos scored a heroic upset on points to snatch the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC ‘Franchise’ belts from the American.
    Promoter Hearn was then accused by Lopez’s dad and trainer Teofimo Sr.
    He told Boxing Social: “I feel for him, I know his dad seems to want to blame me for the fact that he lost.
    “It sort of comes with the territory I guess, but he deserves a lot of credit because he showed a lot of heart as well.
    “About a week ago it was the best thing he ever done coming to DAZN.
    “All of a sudden he lost a decision that everybody thought he lost and it was my fault and DAZN’s fault.

    FREE BETS: GET THE LATEST BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS AND FREE BETS
    “You can’t reason with someone like that. He called me a couple of times and he messaged me saying he can’t believe what I did.
    “I said, ‘Listen, we treated you with unbelievable respect’. I love Teofimo, I love his dad, good people. But you have to move away from delusion.”
    Hearn, who bid the second highest amount for the fight, only inherited the rights after social media platform Triller failed to find a date for it.
    Lopez, 24, fighting in his home of New York, was later booed by his own fans as he interrupted Kambosos’ post-fight interview to insist that he won.
    His dad then went one further to say it was a ‘robbery’, an ‘easy fight’ for his son and talked down a rematch, to instead move up to super-lightweight.
    I love Teofimo, I love his dad, good people. But you have to move away from delusion.Eddie Hearn
    Lopez Sr told SecondsOut: “I should’ve never fought with DAZN, I should’ve stood with Top Rank ‘cause those are the people that really love us.
    “And You learn from your mistakes. So we go back with Top Rank and two PPV fights next year. Everybody knows what happened, okay.”
    For Kambsos, 28, he is now eyeing an undisputed title fight with the full WBC title holder.
    Devin Haney, 23, defends that strap against JoJo Diaz, 29, on Saturday in Las Vegas.
    And Kambosos is set to be ringside to scout out his potential next opponent.
