Olacksandra UCIC Vs Joseph Parker

game

How Olexandra UCIC again became unquestionably heavyweight champion

Take a look at the number behind the victory of Olexander UCIC on Daniel Dubois at the Wambley Stadium.

Before we can potentially come into a trilogy Tyson FuryUsyk can use a fight to install it, and Fury’s friend Parker – WBO can fight compulsory challenger – it does well.

Fury confirmed in London last Saturday that he would return to the game, but not till next year. Fury has not fought Since losing a rematch with usyk In December 2024.

The next battle of usyk, then, will all be about it to win and establish the fury fight. Queenseri promotion ‘Frank Warren, which promotes Parker, Likes ideas Parker, a former WBO champion, challenges the usyk Nextak.

Parker (36-3, 24 kos) trains, which are with anger in Morkembe, England, and revived their career with trainer Andy Lee In 2022, Joyce damage a KOSince that shock, Parker has performed the best of his career, including A comprehensive decision win Former WBC Champion Donty wilder In 2023, majority decisions Jhili Zhang in May 2024 And a quick Martin Bicole Stagnation in February. Parker, who first defended the WBO belt Lose it in a title integration fight In 2018, against Joshua, Fabio Wardle, Moses Itauma and Exit Cabial are more experienced than other high ranked contenders.

Cabial (26–0, 18 kos), WBC is calling the interim heavyweight champion, usyk to face him and after KO is a solid case after winning Ko on Zhang and Frank Sanchez. But the fure of Parker’s fury, which will help build a potential usyk vs. fury trilogy battle, and the fact that usyk needs to fight the parker to hold on the WBO belt, makes the parker a better option.

Teffimo lopez Vs Rolando “Roli” Romero

Both of them were the biggest winners Real Times Square Boxing Card in MayAnd this is a logical battle for both to progress to the top of a crowded welterweight division. This is a good matchup among technical properties, which lopez has raw power and unpredictable which was displayed by Romero in New York.

Lopez (22-1, 13 KO), WBO Junior Welterweight Champion, performed a better performance on that New York Card, Junior defeating Arnold Barboza. With unanimous decisions, and facing Romero will be a good first step in Welterweight.

Also on that card, Romero (17-2, 13 KO) gave a big blow when it fell Ryan Garcia With a left hook on your way A unanimous decision win WBA is a big upset for “regular” welterweight title. This was the latest turn in Romero’s career, which saw him losing in a mild and junior welterweight title quarrel for “tank” Davis and Isaac Cruz, two years ago, the WBA won from controversial stay against Ismail Biroso for the Junior Welterweight title and then increased a device for his biggest victory.

Romero’s Brolling Style can play in the hands of a sleek boxer such as Lopez, but Romero’s victory over Garcia showed that he could also interrupt sleek boxers.

This is a fight that will attract the attention of both of them due to garbage, and in 2017 there is a story about a sparse session between them that will meet again. It is a rivalry that will build in a graj match that sells.

If this happens, and a serious thing about it, the two -time world champion Joshua will surrender some of his validity by fighting a less competitive rival for an attractive Payday.

Joshua (28-4, 24 kos) has not fought since being dropped four times in the fifth round of KO Daniel Dubois damage Last September for IBF World title. The elbow surgery is expected to exclude Joshua by the end of this year.

Paul, is high on confidence after youtuber-turned-loker His June win over Julio Cesar Chavez Junior.But Chavez was the best for a long time and never had the level that Joshua has operated. Joshua is coming out of a loss, but Paul needs to resume What did Joshua do Former UFC Champion Francis Nagannau Just two quarrels in the last March. Joshua is not washed and should fight better opponents, such as Dubois, Moses Itauma, Fabio Wardle or even Donti Wilder. But fighting Paul will create interest around the world, and it is a fight that Joshua should win easily.

Shakur Stevenson Vs Connor Ben

Ben’s Remach vs. Chris with Chris Urbank Junior. In danger of being on 20 September As planned on the verge of collapse, the English boxer may be looking for an alternative big fight, and the WBC Lightweight Champion Stevenson would be an interesting option.

Stevenson (23–0, 11 kos) would have to move from light to junior welterweight to withstand Benan (23–1, 14 kos), who lost a unanimous decision for the Ubank in a non-examination middle middle bout in April.

While Stevenson has the advantage of being a more skilled boxer, after a specific amateur career, Benan, who had only a brief amateur career, would have a shape benefit. It is a classic boxer vs. Sligar encounter.

Stevenson Coming from an entertaining And earlier this month aggressive performance vs. William Zepeda. Nevertheless, it can be a fun build-up on social media with far behind.

Benan can be wooed to face Stevenson, while he waits to see if remitted with the Yubank, or a fight against his dream fight Gervonta “tank” davis A reality can be created in 2026.

Katie Taylor Vs. Chantle Cameron

game

Taylor defeated Serano for the third time to complete the trilogy

Katie Taylor won by the majority decision to defeat Amanda Serano for the third time and retain her title.

Taylor does not look curious over it, but there are many fans, and this is the most logical next battle for Irishwoman if she decides on the box. Asked about a possible trilogy fight with Cameron, Taylor said that Cameron would have to prove himself once again before getting it.

“I think Chantelle will have to see if he can sell an area of 1,000 seats first, I think I have earned more money to him, as much as he really deserves, to be honest,” Taylor said. His decision on Amanda Serano wins On 11 July.

After finishing all arguments with three wins in the trilogy with Serano, Taylor should consider a third encounter with Cameron, the only woman to beat her in professional ranks. Taylor can also consider retirement after excellent amateur and professional career, which has helped women change the popularity of boxing.

After Taylor’s rivalry with Serano, Cameron is now Taylor’s largest rival. Taylor (25–1, 6 KO), undisputed junior welterweight champion, is number 2 on the pound-for-pound rankings of ESPN, and Cameron (21–1, 8 KO), WBC Interim Champion, number 4.

Cameron provoked Taylor’s only defeat With the majority decision in May 2023, first Taylor took revenge Also in the majority decision win in November 2023.

“I am told that I will fight the winner of Katie vs Amanda, because I am WBC Interim Champion,” Cameron recently told ESPN. ,[But] I do not say that I believe in getting a third battle with Katie, because the trilogy should have been with him long ago. ,

This fight probably hinges on whether Taylor decides if his career is over now, but if it happens, it will be one of the most anticipated quarrels in women’s boxing that remains the year.

Jai Optia vs Gilberto Ramirez

IBF champion Optia has been a major ruler in the cruiserweight for a few years, but is now a serious rival to his crown in Ramirez, which has integrated the WBA and WBO titles.

A matchup between these two will bring a rare spotlight for a matchup cruiserweight division in the three-belt unification fight, which pays less attention than other weight classes.

It is the most logical option in addition to steps for heavyweight for Optia (28–0, 22 KO), and both fighters have dreams of achieving undisputed status, which can launch their career in heavyweight as it had done for Olexandra UCIC.

Optia said, “I am ill with all excuses and delay.” Ko win in fifth round Back in June. “I respect what Ramirez has completed, but I know I am at another level.” Ramirez (48–1, 30 KO) also protected a title last month, unanimously winning the decision on Unil Dorticos. However, Ramirez was more impressive when he dominated Chris Bilam-Smith in an integration battle last November.

Ramirez can be wooed to fight if a matchup against WBC champion David Benavidez is not physical.
