Latest Boxing News – Sunday 6^th February, for: Adamek vs McBride, Amir Khan, Chris John, David Price, James De Gale, Jason Booth, Jennings vs Nelson, Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez, Jose González, Manny Pacquiao, McWilliams Arroyo, Pirog to fight Maciel, Yoan Pablo Hernandez

• WBA super lightweight champion Amir Khan has announced that he has reached an agreement to fight undefeated European champion Paul McCloskey at the Manchester Evening News Arena on April 16th. “I am delighted that this fight has finally been put together following some tough negotiations,” stated Khan on his website. “This is a matchup the British public want to see and will be a fantastic fight between two of the best light-welterweights in the country.” Khan will leave for his US training camp on February 9th following press conferences in Manchester and Belfast.

• JAMES DeGALE fears he will never defend his British title if he does not fight bitter rival George Groves next. - The 2008 Olympic gold medallist captured the domestic super-middleweight belt in just his ninth paid fight when he stopped Scouser Paul Smith in December. - But DeGale, 25 (right) may relinquish the belt and move on to bigger titles if a showdown with fellow Londoner Groves cannot be arranged next. - He said: “I’m not too sure if the Groves fight will happen, hopefully it does. I want to win the Lonsdale belt outright by defending the British title three times but, domestically, who is there for me to fight?”

• Adamek vs McBride will take place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Rumors were flying that, Tomasz Adamek, Jersey City, NJ, 43-1, 28KO's, would be fighting in Poland this April. Kathy Duva, Adamek's promoter and Main Events CEO, confirmed that the Polish boxing star will instead return to "The Rock" on April 23rd to take on Irish born, Kevin McBride, Brockton, Massachusetts, 35-8-1, 29 KO's.

• Pirog to fight Maciel -- World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight champion Dmitry Pirog (17-0, 12 KO’s) will finally be defending his WBO title on March 26th against number #9 ranked contender Javier Maciel (18-1, 12 KO’s) at the DIVS, Ekaterinburg, Russia. -- Maciel has fought exclusively 2nd tier opposition in Argentina during his four year pro career. Pirog will be a huge step up in class for Maciel and it’s going to be interesting to see how Maciel handles the leap up in class. In May 2009, Maciel was stopped in the 4th round by Matias Ezequiel Franco, a fighter with a 6-1 record.

• Jennings vs Nelson - Atlantic City, NJ—Heavyweight prospect Bryant “Bye Bye” Jennings, of Philadelphia, PA, goes for his sixth win in as many pro fights when he takes on veteran Terrell “Baby Bull” Nelson, of Plainfield, NJ, in a scheduled six-round contest Saturday evening, Feb. 26, in the Grand Ballroom of Bally’s Atlantic City.

• The WBA's featherweight champion in recess, Chris John (44-0-2, 22KOs), will not wait for Yuriorkis Gamboa. In the next few days, John plans to announce the date and opponent for his next fight. He will defend his title for the 14th time in Jakarta, Indonesia. John last fought in December and won an easy unanimous decision over Argentinian boxer Fernando David Saucedo. - Last year the WBA ordered Gamboa and John to fight each other but no agreement has been reached. Gamboa is the "super champion" at featherweight and John is the WBA's "super champion in recess." Gamboa will defend his WBA crown, and the IBF's version, on March 26 against Jorge Solis in Atlantic City. (Source BoxingScene)

• Yoan Pablo Hernandez (23-1, 12 KOs) will challenge World Boxing Association (WBA) Interim Cruiserweight Champion Steve Herelius (21-1, 12 KOs) on Team Sauerland´s big show in Mulheim, Germany on February 12.

Campos was down in the third round and the referee stopped the fight two rounds later. Former amateur world champion McWilliams Arroyo (7-1, 6 KOs) won by TKO at 2:58 of the first round against Manuel Galaviz (3-5) in a flyweight bout. The fight ended after Arroyo knocked down Galaviz, who didn’t respond and the referee stopped the bout.

• Former world title challenger Jason Booth (36-6, 15 KOs) retained his British super bantamweight title with a twelve round split decision over Jamie Arthur (18-5, 4 KOs) on Saturday at the Leisure Centre in Brentwood, England. Scores were 115-113 and 117-112 for Booth, 115-114 for Arthur. It was Booth’s first fight since unsuccessfully challenging IBF 122lb world champion Steve Molitor in September. - Also Olympic super heavyweight bronze medalist David Price (9-0, 7 KOs) dropped Osborne Machimana (18-7-1, 13 KOs) in round one and finished him in round three.

• Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KO’s) will not be choosing to defend his recently won World Boxing Council junior middleweight title and will instead be reportedly vacating the belt after having beaten fellow Top Rank stable fighter Antonio Margarito for the strap in November of last year to capture the vacant title. Pacquiao is facing 39-year-old Shane Mosley on May 7th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

• Miami junior middleweight Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez (17-1-1, 10 KOs) has signed to fight IBO #52-ranked Mexican middleweight veteran Angel “El Toro” Hernandez (30-9, 17 KOs) of Chicago for the vacant IBO International junior middleweight belt. The fight will take place in Chicago on March 25th. Joey Hernandez stopped Mexican Saul Duran (37-18-2, 30 KOs) during the second round of his last fight in October at the Seminole Hard Rock casino in Hollywood Florida. Angel Hernandez looks to rebound from two consecutive losses; including a stoppage suffered against Peter Manfredo (37-6, 20 KOs) at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut last May. The fight is contracted at the light middleweight limit of 154 pounds. No TV is announced at this time.

Oscar de la Hoya recently wrote on his twitter account: “I was watching Chavez Jr. last night and I’m sorry but he just does not have it. There’s no pop in his punches, but wish him the best.”

WBC #1 middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s response was: “I’m surprised that De La Hoya could see two fights at the same time, mine and Bradley-Alexander, but I am grateful to have contributed to having broken the record audience on Fox Sports who tuned into my fight”

Junior stated that he recalls that when Oscar was an up-and-coming fighter that neither he nor his father criticized Oscar when an opponent named “Chicho” Valenzuela sent him to the canvas, “Nor did we criticize the knockout loss to Hopkins, who after the fight became a partner of Oscar’s company, let alone when he stayed on his stool when he faced Manny Pacquiao.”

JC Chavez Jr also issued his own challenge to the Golden Boy: “I call on Oscar de la Hoya to pick up the gloves and face me at middleweight in September and give more motivation to de la Hoya I’ll bet my purse that I send him back into permament retirement from boxing and I wish him the best in his career as a promoter.”

As they prepare for the all-important Olympic Games on home soil next year, Team GB's boxing squad are developing well and could well cause a few surprises against the top competitors at this year's major events.

The young team will enjoy its first taste of international competition this year at the traditionally strong 55th Bocskai Memorial Tournament, for which the coaches have selected eight boxers.

Khalid Saeed Yafai was the youngest British boxing team member at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and, although he did not take home a medal there, the 21-year-old did take silver at last year's European Championships in Moscow.

Andrew Selby is titleholder at the Bocskai Memorial Tournament in the 54kg class, but after the new weight divisions were launched on September 1, 2024 the young Welshman has moved down to the new 52kg flyweight category.

Luke Campbell became European Champion in home ring in Liverpool more than two years ago but has so far been unable to build on this achievement. Campbell missed the European Championships in Moscow after being replaced by Iain Weaver, who collected a silver medal at the event. He has since trained very hard and struck back at his main local rival at the British National Championships in November.

Liverpool-based Commonwealth Games winner and European Championships silver medalist Thomas Stalker was awarded best boxer of the year in the United Kingdom. It's worth noting that Frankie Gavin also picked up the same accolade in between two Olympic Games in 2006, after which he won the World Championships in Chicago at lightweight. Thomas Stalker also competes at lightweight.

Bradley Saunders, bronze medalist at the 2007 AIBA World Championships in Chicago, was one of the favorites at the 2009 World Championships in Milan but was seriously injured just before the huge event. He returned at the last edition of Bocskai Memorial Tournament in 2010 and claimed a bronze medal, then took silver at the Commonwealth Games in India later in the year.

The team's rising welterweight star Callum Smith caused a huge surprise at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi last year to claim a silver medal in the tournament. Smith also took the British national title in November and will be aiming for the final in Debrecen next week.

Light heavyweight Obed Mbwakongo, 21, put in world-class performances at recent junior and youth events but a medal at elite international level has proved elusive so far. Mbwakongo made the quarterfinals at both the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games but missed the final step for the medal.

AIBA Junior World Championships bronze medalist 25-year-old Daniel Price did not qualify for the Beijing Olympic Games but returns to keep his chances alive for London.

McAleese Backs Ochieng To Beat Noble This Saturday

Light Middleweight prospect ‘Phat’ Pat McAleese today gave his full support to Erick ‘The Eagle’ Ochieng by stating that his Ultrachem TKO Boxing Gym mate will easily defeat Lee ‘Lightning’ Noble this Saturday at the Frank Maloney promoted Jamie Arthur vs Jason Booth Commonwealth Super Bantamweight title clash at the Brentwood Leisure Centre, Brentwood, Essex.

The only blemishes on McAleese’s otherwise immaculate record have come courtesy of Noble. The first, at Goresbrook Leisure Centre in March last year, was declared a draw by referee Richard James Davis even though McAleese had a superior work rate and had landed the more meaningful shots throughout.

The rematch, at Steve Goodwin’s excellent ‘It’ Personal’ event in September, had far more at stake, being it was for the vacant British Masters Light Middleweight title.

For almost nine rounds McAleese not just outworked Noble, he plain dominated him. Noble’s work rate was exceptionally poor, he seemed content to cover up and absorb the constant barrage of punches, only occasionally responding with the odd jab or flurry here and there.

In the dying seconds of the ninth round Noble let rip with a peach of a right uppercut. It was a near perfect shot and dropped McAleese on the spot.

On learning that Ultrachem TKO gym mate Ochieng’s replacement opponent for Saturday’s Sky Sports

televised event was to be Noble, Newmarket’s McAleese was quick to show his support by saying, “I don’t think Erick will have too much trouble, he hits hard, he’s got a fast jab. When I fought him (Lee Noble) I was eight rounds up going into the ninth round but just got caught by a lucky shot.

I think Erick’s a little bit more cagey, I think he’ll pick Noble off and out work him. Noble’ll find it hard because he’ll be hitting down a lot, being taller and Erick gets really low. I think he’ll find it really hard to fight Erick.

Erick will come through with flying colours.”

Switching tack McAleese spoke a little about his last bout as well as his upcoming fight on March 19th and the possibility of a second rematch between himself and Noble, “Trilogy, I’d like to fight him again. I’m fighting on the 19th March and then I’ve got a show on the 30th April, which is in Newmarket where I live.

I’ve boxed him (Noble) twice. The first one I thought I’d won hands down but they gave a draw. The last time I was eight rounds up going into the ninth and got caught by a lucky shot.

I think a third time I’ll want to just put my mind to rest. Neither of them should have been negatives on my record, I just want to set the record straight.

I’ve been working well with Johnny Eames and Brian O’Shaughnessy, who’s my new co-trainer. Doing loads and loads of new things. Come 19th March I’m going to come out a much improved fighter.

Hopefully I’ll get the win and then look for a rematch with Noble.”

‘Phat’ Pat McAleese will next be in action at the Steve Goodwin promoted ‘Essex Eruption’ event, headlined by Tony Conquest and Yassine El Maachi, at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre in Dagenham, Essex, on Saturday 19th March 2011.

Tickets for ‘Essex Eruption’ at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre, Dagenham, Essex on Saturday 19th March 2011 are on sale now - priced £35 (Unreserved) or £60 (Ringside).

For tickets call: 07960 850645, book on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at The Ultrachem TKO Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA.
