  • Gamal Yafai: It's Time to Show My Class
    GAMAL YAFAI: IT’S TIME TO SHOW MY CLASS Gamal Yafai says it’s time to show his class and take Bobby Jenkinson’s Commonwealth Super-Bantamweight title on Saturday night at the Genting Arena in Birmingham, live on Sky Sports. Yafai’s first title shot comes just shy of two years in the paid ranks, and the hard-hitting Birmingham talent has had to be patient for his first crack. Jenkinson landed the Commonwealth belt in London in September, stopping Lewis Pettitt in the 11th round of their clash at Wembley Arena, but Yafai believes he’ll have too much in his locker for the Lincoln man to retain the title. “This is a massive fight for me,” said Yafai. “I think I can win and I think I am better than him but it will be a tough night. I have trained hard for it and I am expecting a difficult fight and that is what I will probably get, but I have a big belief that there is only going to be one winner. “I am not the type to go on about how good I am because I haven’t shown how good I am but the bookies don’t normally lie and I am a big, big favourite in the fight. But you can’t go off that in boxing and I am not bothered about that. “I watched him beat Lewis Pettitt. He is a tough kid, he comes to fight, he is fit but he can be out-boxed. Pettitt was beating him but he seemed a bit weight drained and tired out and ended up getting beaten.

  • Cash – I’M Levels Above Cullen
    CASH – I’M LEVELS ABOVE CULLEN Felix Cash believes that he is “levels above” Jack Cullen and is determined to prove it when they meet for the Commonwealth Middleweight crown at Manchester Arena on Saturday November 2, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US. The unbeaten Wokingham talent (11-0, 7 KOs) landed the Commonwealth title in style by taking out Nigeria’s Rasheed Abolaji in the opening round of their clash at The O2 in February earlier this year but hasn’t fought since after an injury ruled him out of his July 6 date with Cullen. ‘Little Lever’s Meat Cleaver’ has enjoyed a breakout year, stopping Jack Sellars in eight rounds to win the English title at the Bolton Whites Hotel in May before halting Dillian Whyte protege John Harding Jr on his Sky Sports debut in Liverpool three months later. Despite his opponent’s recent run of impressive form, Cash insists that he has more than enough in his armoury to deal with Cullen and has predicted that their eagerly- anticipated domestic showdown won’t go the scheduled 12 rounds. “I’ve been looking forward to this fight for a while and now it’s time to deal with this fella in good fashion,” said Cash. “There are a few weaknesses in his game which I have seen and no disrespect to John Harding Jr but he’s no Felix Cash and if he stands and trades with me then he’s going to be in trouble and he will walk onto one.

  • WBC International Champion Cristofer Rosales Shocks Daigo Higa to Win the WBC World Flyweight Crown in Japan
    WBC International champion Cristofer Rosales shocks Daigo Higa to win the WBC World Flyweight crown in Japan. Nicaragua’s Cristofer Rosales (27-3, 18 KOs) won the WBC World flyweight crown stopping local hero Daigo Higa (15-1, 15 KOs) in round nine, when the Japanese’s corner finally decided that enough was enough at 1:14 of the mentioned session. The taller Nicaraguan took the lead with solid left uppercuts following left-right combos and hurt the ex-champ who had forfeited his belt on the scale the day before. Higa exclusively fought back with body shots, but Rosales looked more effective in the close quarters. After the fourth, the open scoring system indicated 39-37 twice for Rosales, 39-37 for Higa. The fifth and sixth saw Cristofer, 23, connect with left and right uppercuts to the face and midsection to weaken the still game but fading ex-champ. Higa, however, furiously came back with two-fisted attacks in rounds seven and eight, while Rosales fought back hard without retreating in the center of the ring. After the eighth, the interim scoring was : 77-75, 79-73 for Rosales, 76-76. In the ninth and fatal session, Rosales opened up again with a succession of heavy left body blows, while Higa's punches only connected with the air. Higa’s corner finally made up its mind and asked the third man to halt the proceedings. The Japanese side asked for the bout to be stopped one minute and 14 seconds into the ninth round. The defeat was an extra shock for Higa as the previous day he became the first Japanese champion to be stripped of a title because of a weight issue.
