All right, enough about that.

The co-feature fight here or clarified the Munguia fight is the co-feature fight for the WBA super middleweight title.

And this fighter, Nikita Zahn, which we've been we've been mocking this, that the WBA is allowing this to happen instead of his mandatory.

So clarify again here and tell me what, if anything, we're going to get out of Zahn.

Is he going to threaten Munguia at all?

Just because you never fought anybody and no one ever saw you and no one knows what you're about and you fought a bunch of nobody opponents doesn't mean you're no good.

But knowing Munguia and the way that his career has been handled, you can be sure they believe they've handpicked a guy that he can handily beat.

So he'll be making his first defense of the WBA super middleweight title.

Talk about refusing to read the script.

South Africa's Arnold Taylor took on Romeo Anaya for the WBA bantamweight crown.

Taylor hit the canvas not once, not twice, but four separate times.

Most mortals would have stayed down and looked for the nearest exit.

November 6th, 1993.

Ha! Only in Las Vegas, folks.

Evander Holyfield got his revenge against Riddick Bowe, reclaiming the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at Caesars Palace.

But nobody talks about the jabs.

Incredible stuff across there in Spain.

fight that many people were surprised to hear about she did hint at it when I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago but what an achievement for her what a finish to an incredible year barely a year into her professional career and here she's sitting with no doubt with an EBU belt will come with ranking points for a world title fight and our great friend my great pal Chantal Cameron is adamant it's it's she is under no illusions Christina Desmond is a future world champion and likewise the following night in harrow shauna brown beat jade burden to claim both the wba gold and the ibf international lightweight titles had to come through a couple of sticky patches in that fight as well but in true shauna brown style came back fighting and took those titles and what an end to the year it's been for shauna as well so sets it up for who knows what all our irish boxers this year it's been an incredible remark it's been an incredible it's been one of those years where you look back and you think that could have been the year that made the difference And we're not done yet.

But we are for this episode.

Once again, don't forget to jump into the links below.

Jaime Munguia versus Nikita Zahn.

The WBA worked out some type of deal here.

A step-aside fee for Beck the Bully.

So Munguia gets to keep his 168-pound title, but has to see Medela Kuzyev next.

On this show.

Is it going to be a title fight, though? Because WBA is talking about making Fury AJ for the super title.

I'd kill myself.

Well, if Fury wins, we get to see the next fight in the series.

I hope that WBA doesn't take away Gassi's belt.

Yeah, screw him over.

Yeah, like, I really...

Kameda got hard done by this.

So you don't have the spaces you used to have for man to bond collectively with one another.

The guy that did the forward to my book is the former WBA coach.

super middleweight champion of the world, Austin Trout, friend of mine, really good guy, boxer.

But he starts...

And now with the new UBOs, we can bring back the option clause.

And if you can work with the sanction organizations, that to me makes it worse because now you can use the enticement of like the WBC title, the WBA title to say, oh, you can fight for these, but guess what? You got to sign over rights to me.

And, and, you know, maybe Zufa boxing, you know, without the Saudi money is not a threat, but now you've left the door open for anybody, any other asshole to come in and take advantage of that.

Well, that was the point I was trying to make a little while ago before I tied myself up a bit.
