When Sugar Hill Steward worked with Charles Martin, he wanted to test Martin against the Polish brawler – Adam Kownacki. Martin fought Adam and lost. “I always admired Adam as a fighter, but I knew he had some things he needs to work on. When we started working together this year in Florida, almost 6 months now, I realized also how great an athlete he is. He will be all that on Saturday because he is having fun boxing again.” Kownacki (20-3, 15 KOs) fights Joe Cusaman (21-4, 19 KOs) on the undercard of Edgar Berlanga vs. Jason Quigley at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night, live worldwide on DAZN.

Clase y Talento, the Guadalajara-based promotional firm founded by Canelo Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso, won the promotional rights to promote the rematch between WBC flyweight champion Julio César Martínez and McWilliams Arroyo at a WBC purse bid. Clase y Talento bid $345,000. The purse split will be Martinez 65% / Arroyo 35% with 10% of the total bid reserved to be paid as a bonus to the winner of the fight.
In 2021, Martínez and Arroyo clashed in a contest that prematurely ended in round three being declared a no contest after an accidental clash of heads. Prior to that, both visited the canvas, leaving expectations at the highest level towards this second meeting. Martínez-Arroyo II has been postponed on several occasions due to injuries and other factors suffered by both fighters, but now it will hopefully happen.

WBC interim middleweight champion Carlos Adames and former unified champion Julian “J-Rock” Williams traded barbs at Thursday’s final press conference before they trade blows in the Showtime main event this Saturday from The Armory in Minneapolis.
Carlos Adames: “Williams is bait on a hook ready to get devoured by the big fish. He should know that he’s in a bad spot right now…I can feel him shaking…Julian has no idea what he’s getting into. I’m gonna overwhelm him.”
Julian Williams: “I’ve seen him down, I’ve seen him tired and I’ve seen him hurt. He’s no boogeyman…I’m locked in. I know what this is and I know what he is. It’s gonna show up in the fight. I’m a man and you cannot scare me…I’m getting my hand raised.”

Thursday’s press conference also featured fighters competing on the undercard including super welterweight contender Luis “Cuba” Arias, who meets Erickson “Hammer” Lubin (not on hand) in the 10-round co-main event, plus super flyweight world champion Fernando “Pumita” Martinez and unbeaten Filipino contender Jade Bornea, who battle for Martinez’s IBF world title in the telecast opener.
Luis Arias: “I’m the worst type of fight for Lubin. We’re gonna find out immediately how that chin is holding up because I’m in dog shape. So I’m coming to make my statement and put my name in the mix…once I knock Lubin off, that’ll be two top contenders I’ve knocked off.”
Fernando Martinez: “He thinks he’s hungry, but I’m hungrier. I’m going to put on a show and prove to everyone that I’m not only the champion, but I’m the champion who’s going to be here for years to come…the fans here are going to see that I’m the ‘mini Mike Tyson’!
Jade Bornea: “I’m not going to give an inch. I know that I can’t waste this opportunity to become world champion. I am ready for anything that Martinez brings to me in the fight. I’ve prepared for this for a long time, so I know exactly what I have to do.”

Undefeated WBA super middleweight regular champion David Morrell Jr. (9-0, 8 KOs) says WBC interim champion David Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs) is deliberately sidestepping his challenge and opting for an easier opponent in Jaime Munguia (42-0, 33 KOs), who would be coming up in weight to fight him.
David Morrell Jr: From here on out my new nickname is the ‘The Monster.’ I will be referred to as father of Team Benevidez. Jose Sr. does not want the fight. He talks a lot, but he clearly wants to fight Munguia as seen in all his recent interviews. The loudmouth son Jose Jr. hasn’t said a word either. So, I want small man Jose to come out publicly and say he is scared of the Monster Morrell. I’m giving you 24 hours to tell the world the truth little guy! Or I will do an interview daily about the cowards they call the Benevidez’. Your name is Red Flag maybe because you run when there is danger. Don’t use my name anymore, cancel all your merchandise and stop lying to people. I’m the real MONSTER! My message to Benavidez is I’m ready for all those bitches. Grow some balls, and lets give the fans the fight they want to see. Your family name is a disgrace.”

Former South African light heavyweight champion Sakkie Enslin passed away in his sleep yesterday.
He was 63.
Sakkie was born on 21 March 1960 and grew up in Melkbos a coastal town located on the South West Coast of South Africa, 30 km north of Cape Town where as a six-year-old boy he loved running on the beach.
Sakkie was about 13 when his fitter-and-turner father Jan decided to return to what was then still the Transvaal. They settled near Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg.
Izak Johannes, as Sakkie was named after his birth soon settled in the new surroundings and excelled at rugby at a local school. Continue reading “Former SA light heavy champion dies at 63”

“Jason is a great fighter,” said Berlanga. “He thinks I’m overlooking him, maybe I am in the sense that I believe I am on a different level to him. The fights that I want to make happen, I must perform this weekend, I need to look spectacular. So, I am not overlooking him. Far from it, but I want to prove that I am better than him.
“I’ve looked him in the eyes, we’ll do it again on Thursday, and on Friday, and then fight night, it’s on, time to take off the shackles and unleash the beast. There’s going to be more tension as the week goes on – he’s in my hometown, he’s going to be in the trenches on Saturday…I have a lot to prove to myself. I have a chip on my shoulder.

Martin stepped in after original Anderson foe Zhan Kossobutskiy was forced to withdraw due to a delay in obtaining his visa.
Charles Martin: “I’ve always said I will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. If I have to fight on less than two weeks’ notice to get a big opportunity, so be it. I’m ready. And since I can’t get the best guys from my generation to fight me, I’ll fight the best guy from the new generation. My goal is to become a two-time heavyweight champion. I have to beat Jared Anderson to accomplish my goal.”
Jared Anderson: “We weren’t going to let anything spoil the Toledo party. I have a new opponent, but it will be the same outcome.”

President of the WBC – Son of José Sulaimán
Commemorating Father’s Day, it occurred to me to write about the father-son relationship in our sport.
The father takes the boy to the gym, and on many occasions he himself is the one who trains him, and even manages him. Everything is fine until … it’s time to get into the ring to fight.
The line should be drawn then and another person is the one who should be responsible for being in the corner during the fight. Why? Because boxing is not a game, it is a contact sport with high physical demands and health can be put at risk. There is no person more demanding than our father, and there is no person more obedient, eager to please and proud than the son.
The father will always demand more from his son, who in turn would never be able to demure, determined to make dad proud no matter what the sacrifice.
Many of the ring accidents have occurred with fighters, who have their father as a chief corner; fights that should have been stopped, and due to the above, it tragically did not happen. Continue reading “The Fathers in Boxing”

WBA 115-pound champion Joshua Franco (18-1-3, 8 KOs), US, will square off against previously four-division titlist Kazuto Ioka (29-2-1, 15 KOs) in a grudge fight on this coming Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. Their first encounter on New Year’s Eve last saw a majority draw (114-114 twice, 115-113 for Franco) that meant Joshua’s hairline but successful defense of his belt. Then Ioka was the WBO ruler in a unification bout, but the skillful Japanese counterpuncher renounced his belt to pursue a rematch with his grudge rival.
Ioka showed a public workout with his Cuban trainer Ismael Salas yesterday, while Franco participated in a public training today (Tuesday). Each looked very fit, fast and fine in speed and skills to make us expect a very competitive rematch.
Ioka said, “This time I’ll win clearly and if possible score a knockout victory.”
Franco, the defending titlist, said, “I wish to score with more clearly effective punches to Ioka in order to appeal to the judges. If so, I’ll be a victor by a very clear decision.”
Time will tell.

We are shocked and saddened to announce the passing of former heavyweight boxer and long time Fightnews.com® International Editor Ray Wheatley at the age of 74.
Ray passed away this morning in a Sydney hospital following an operation. Ray was a luminary on the Australian boxing scene for many years. After his boxing career ended, he became a boxing official, an IBF executive, published “World of Boxing,” and was inducted into the Australian Boxing Hall of Fame.
“Ray was part of Fightnews.com®’s original crew,” said Fightnews.com® Editor-in-Chief Karl Freitag. “He covered Aussie boxing for us for nearly 24 years. He loved boxing, was a great reporter, and a great man. He will be missed by all in boxing. Thank you for everything Ray. Rest in peace, dear friend.”

Former Australian National Boxing Federation president John McDougall wrote:
It is with profound regret that I advise the Australian Boxing fraternity of the death of one our most loved members, Sugar Ray Wheatley. I was advised of this a few moments ago and a shock indeed to me as it will be to all. Ray passed away at 2:30am this morning in hospital following an operation.
Ray was a giant among men, not only in stature but in his very being as a man. A great family man and friend to all he will be deeply missed.
Ray was born on July 25 1948 and boxed as a heavyweight and in his third fight boxed the great Tony Mundine and was the only Australian, as I recall, to ever put Mundine in the canvas in a bout. His record stood at 11-12-1 and he boxed from 1969-1985. That was an era of great fighters in this country and Sugar won and lost among the best. Continue reading “Ray Wheatley Passes”

A look at the scorecard in Saturday night’s split decision between WBC super lightweight champion Regis “Rougarou” Prograis and Danielito Zorrilla shows that judges Josef Mason, Craig Metcalf, and Robert Tapper all had Prograis winning handily after eight rounds. However, Metcalf gave the final four rounds to Zorrilla.
The fight at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, also broke a record, albeit a dubious one. Over twelve rounds, the bout produced just 84 landed punches, the fewest in a title fight in CompuBox’s 38-year history. The previous record low of 91 was set in 2021’s Rigondeaux-Casimero barnburner.
Both fighters landed 42 punches. Prograis threw 497 total punches while Zorrilla threw 310. Both fighters landed 4 jabs. Prograis connected on 4 of 371 (1.1%), Zorrilla landed 4 of 144 (2.8%). For power punches, Prograis landed 38 of 126 (30.2%), Zorrilla connected on 38 of 166 (22.9%).
