One more time: Golota returns vs. Saleta
Longtime Polish heavyweight stars Andrew Golota, 45, and Przemyslaw Saleta, 44, are scheduled to meet February 23 at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, in a ten round bout. Four-time heavyweight title challenger Golota (41-8-1, 33 KOs) will be fighting for the first time since a KO loss to Tomasz Adamek in October 2009, while former European titleholder Saleta (43-7, 21 KOs) has been inactive since 2006. This could be a flip of the coin bout, but Golota would be the favorite if he comes to into the bout in shape and in the right frame of mind.

Jonathan Banks - Seth Mitchell rematch:
Mitchell calls Banks rematch 'a gift and a curse' | RingTV
Quote:
For a rematch that he called, "vital," as well as "a gift and a curse," heavyweight contender Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell is gearing for a Feb. 16 clash with undersized rival Johnathon Banks at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, site of his second-round stoppage loss in November.
"I'm not fooling myself. I know that this is a vital fight for me. But I'm up for the challenge. I wanted this fight. I want it to be known that I wanted this fight, and that I asked my team to get me this rematch. It's not something where they just threw me into this fight," said Mitchell (25-1-1, 19 knockouts), who was hammered by 25 power shots and dropped three times in the final round.
"I wanted it. I know that this is a challenge, but I'm up for the challenge. Not to say that what happened the first time was a fluke, even though people say that he caught you with a lucky punch. He did what he was supposed to do, and if I go out there and continue to be off balance and to lunge and things of that nature, and not be patient, then the same thing can happen."
When Banks (29-1-1, 19 KOs) hurt Mitchell, he was determined not to let his rival off the hook. Mitchell tried to rise after the final knockdown, but referee Eddie Cotton waved an end to the bout.
In victory, Banks rose to 9-0-1 (5 KOs) as a heavyweight, and also ended a streak for Mitchell that had gone for 23 consecutive victories, 18 of which were knockouts, including the past 10 straight.
"I'm excited. I know that this is a big fight. It's a big fight for my career," said Mitchell. "Definitely to have another loss, let alone, a back-to-back loss to the same person could definitely be a big setback. I know that's on the line. But I'm excited. I believe that every fight is a learning experience, and I'm in a situation where it's a gift and a curse."

And with Fury keen to face Vitali Klitschko for the WBC title in the coming months, a mouth-watering clash looks as far away as ever – with both sides unwavering in their attempts to host any proposed domestic fight.
The BBBC will now consider their options at their upcoming meeting on Wednesday and release more information on which foe Price may face in what will be his final defence before the title is his for keeps.
Fury, 24, has recently taken to Twitter to call out some of the stars of UFC and MMA, although his next outing remains his planned American debut in New York on March 17 - with an opponent yet to be confirmed.
BBBoC are obsolete, they had no authority to start these proceedings and I cant comprehend how much status they have lost by trying to be more relevant than they are.

Re: Heavyweight Fight Schedule
Malik Scott interview
Malik Scott: “I’m Looking to Fight Anybody in the Top 10….I’m Just a Phone Call and Contract Away”
Quote:
by Charles White
Hey Malik, it’s been awhile since our last interview. How’s it going?
MS: What’s up bro? Everything is good man. I’m blessed. Just staying sharp and keeping myself in great shape.
Last time out, you beat Bowie Tupou decisively, securing a solid win and a step in the right direction. Fellow undefeated heavyweight Bryant Jennings also just defeated Tupou on NBC Sports. Compare and contrast your win over Tupou with Jennings’.
MS: Well that’s an easy comparison, I beat Bowie with one hand and he quit from a so-called arm injury or some other coward-ass excuse he came up with. Bryant Jennings got off the canvas and iced him in 5 rounds and looked good doing it. Bowie made history by getting his ass whipped by two Philly fighters in the same year. I don’t think that ever happened to any other heavyweight in boxing history.
Both you and Jennings are Philly guys as you know. Have you ever sparred each other, and if so, how competitive was it?
MS: Yeah, we both from Philly and we also both from the same “A.B.C GYM ‘ in north Philly. When I was coming up Jennings wasn’t boxing so no we never got a chance to spar, but I’m sure if we did it would be very competitive because we all know my skills is infinite and Bryant is a good fighter so I’m sure a fight or a sparring session between us would be interesting.
Is a fight with Jennings something you would like to make happen at some point in the near future?
MS: **** man a fight with Jennings or anybody else in the top 10 I’m looking to fight in the near future. You know I have never been the one to have any picks, anybody can come get this work, I’m just a phone call and contract away baby.
Now I know you are a big student of the game and watch a lot of matches, so I’m going to ask you what you thought about the Cunningham-Adamek rematch. How did you score the fight, and what is your reaction to the decision?
MS: Well I only seen a few rounds of the fight because they was showing it at the fitness spot I was working out at at the time. But from the rounds I saw Steve was controlling the tempo and beating Adamek to punch every time but from what I heard Steve was robbed and it was another black eye for boxing. But I’m going to tell you something bro if the fans or the powers that be would complain about the judges that are scoring these fights as much as they complain about the heavyweight division maybe these types of crooked-ass decisions would stop or be looked after more. People are complaining about the wrong issues. Stop complaining about the fighters and complain about these crooked-ass judges that don’t know a left hook from a fish hook.
In our last interview, you called out Adamek. Assuming Cunningham doesn’t get the rematch with Adamek, would you still like to meet Tomasz in the ring and maybe get some revenge for your fellow Philly fighter?
MS: Well first of all there is no revenge needed because Eddie and Steve both beat Adamek from what I saw and from what the rest of the world saw and second it’s obvious Adamek has problems with natural boxers so for his people to take a fight against me is like too close to never, they won’t do it.
Anybody lined up yet for your next fight? Hopefully it’s on another big card so that you can showcase your skills on television again.
MS: From what I’m hearing my matchmaker from Goossen-Tutor promotions, Tom Brown, is working on a few things for February for me but we’ll see.
About how long before we see you in the top 10 and fighting for a world title?
MS: God willing in the next year. I believe 2013 is going to be the biggest year of my career.
Out of the current champions, which one do you see yourself having the most success against?
MS: I don’t believe none of them have the skills that I have so whichever one I fight is the one I will defeat.
There is talk of an 8 man WBC heavyweight tournament in the near future. Does participating in this tournament interest you?
MS: Absolutely, that’s what this division needs. Me and Deontay Wilder are always talking about its too many undefeated heavyweights in the game, so a lot of these O’s must go and doing a heavyweight title tournament is the perfect way to get this **** started. I’m all for it, let’s do it.
Tell the readers out there a bit about Team Scott. Who makes up the bulk of your team?
MS: Well it’s simple; Jessie Reid is my trainer, Marcus Coates is my manager and Havailah Scott as well as Malik Scott Jr. {My babies} are my bosses…and they all are upset right now (laughs).
Malik, I was reading about your lifelong interest in cigars, Can you go into detail about that?
MS: Yeah cigars are something I have always been into. Unfortunately it’s always been a huge interest of mine that I only can physically enjoy periodically because of my profession. But for the last 10 to 12 years I’ve done my homework on them so I am working on branding my own cigar in the very near future. There’s actually only 3 African American cigar owners so what I do is talk to different companies about their manufacturing, and being as though the best tobacco is in Cuba and Dominican Republic, I was told by some of my favorite cigar brand companies that the best way to start my own line is to go to either of those two countries to check their tobacco levels and choose the texture and construction I want for my own cigar in person instead of doing it on line or conversing over the phone, so this summer I’m going to Dominican Republic to check them levels bro. The summer of 2014 it will be established so just be on the lookout for that Malik “King” Scott cigar named “KEVAILAH.”
Sounds like you have yourself a master plan there Malik. Good luck on that venture. I like the name of it; “Kevailah.” Was it hard coming up with a name for it and where did you get the name from?
MS: No it wasn’t hard for me at all, I just put the loves of my life names together which are my kids. My son Keito and my daughter Havailah and you put them two together you have one of the best smoothest cigars ever invented; a “KEVAILAH” cigar (laughs).
That’s great man, now I always hear you talking about your kids and we see all the beautiful pics of them on the internet. Several fans have emailed me, pointing out your strong family values. Are you still involved with the children’s’ mother?
MS: Nah bro, I’m single, I’m too moody to be anybody’s husband or boyfriend but as far as my kids’ mothers are concerned, they are both two great women as well as great mothers and I don’t know where my life would be without them. Marriage is an extraordinary move and it takes two extraordinary people to make it work to be together forever, so for a moody guy like me to consider getting married it would take great women like the late great Jackie Kennedy Onassis or the fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons who’s TV show “House of Fab” is airing again on the style channel Jan 23rd that everybody should watch. I’m a huge fan of Cleopatra and her seductive, dominate ways, so whenever I’m thinking of a mental case like me being married my wife would have to have some of the same attributes of all of these great women I just named.
Ok, any new tattoos bro?
MS: Yeah I got a couple. My favorite one right now is my Charles Manson tatt, I’m personally very intrigued by it (laughs). I am about 95% covered with about 800 more tatts to go. Whoever don’t like it can suck nuts (laughs).
Alright Malik any last messages or statements you want to send out to your haters, fans, or fellow heavyweights?
MS: Well I don’t have no haters everybody loves me (laughs). But to all my naysayers, I am in full control of you all and to my fellow heavyweights, I will see y’all on the battlefield. As far as my fans, thank you, love is love. Please follow me on everything.

Time is running out for him, he has to step up in 2013 or never.
He has good defensive skills, but he's not fun to watch because he's feather-fisted and holds far too much.
Malik should go overseas where he'd have a decent payday as an opponent for someone like Price, Helenius or Fury.

he went missing for 4 years too :S surely an injury doesnt take that long to heal... i just guess he never had the mindset to go for tough fights and was happy enough plodding away v jobbers which is fair enough if he made some good money for himself... he was a pretty good amateur too i think so he has had a really odd career.. at least in this interview it sounds like he wants to go for a title... the wbc 8 man heavyweigth tournament might be a great idea for him .

Haye: Price has Klitschko qualities
David Haye: David Price has Klitschko brothers' qualities | Boxing News | ESPN.co.uk
Quote:
British heavyweight David Price draws parallels with the division's megastars, the Klitschko brothers, according to compatriot David Haye.
Haye lost to Wladimir Klitschko in a world title unification fight in 2011 and is currently courting his older brother Vitali for a career swansong later in 2013.
While the 32-year-old Londoner has made it clear that he is not interested in fighting Price or fellow Brit Tyson Fury before he retires, he has offered his support to the former.
Price had a stellar 2012, winning all four of his bouts by knockout, and will be back in the ring on February 23 to fight American Tony Thompson in his home town of Liverpool.
But Haye believes it will not be long before the 29-year-old Price will be challenging for a world title, saying it could happen in the next two years.
"I sparred with David Price since he was an amateur... he's got all the tools that a Klitschko has," Haye told Sky Sports News.
"He ticks all the boxes. With the right guidance within the next two years he should be knocking on the door. I'll be long retired by then with my pipe and slippers."

Re: Heavyweight Fight Schedule
Max Boxing - Featured Articles - Byrd: "England has the two best heavyweight contenders"
Quote:
Former two time WBO heavyweight champion Chris Byrd has spoken to MaxBoxing.com to give his expert opinion on the current heavyweight scene, his dislike of over protected fighters and his desire to see more former pro’s with a microphone in hand.
The Michigan southpaw, who claimed an Olympic silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona games boxing as a middleweight, also fronts an internet based boxing talk show called “The Byrd’s eye view” that gives a forum to fighters enabling them to discuss the finer points of the sport with a host who has mixed with some of the best heavyweights of his generation.
“We try to give the viewers a fighter’s perspective on the action they see in the ring” he said of his current project that has featured Brandon Rios and Manny Pacquiao.
Byrd, who last fought in 2009 and ended his often unappreciated career with a record of 41-5, is comfortable in front of a TV camera but would like to see more of his fellow ex-pros talking boxing rather than what he calls a “disrespectful” aspect of the media questioning the ability of fighters.
“It annoys me when these guys on TV are telling viewers a certain fighter can’t do this, he can’t do that. Saying certain fighters can’t punch. How do they know? They haven’t taken his punches have they?” he said during a recent phone call from the offices of his agent in California.
“I’ve been watching boxing and thinking where are all these great fighters? Why aren’t they in front of a camera breaking down the sport? “
“Every weekend in the States, whether it is on a cable channel or a big network, boxing is on. These broadcasts should be flooded with legends talking about what they know.”
Back in 1999 Byrd faced fearsome Nigerian Ike Ibeabuchi but a left, right combination late into round five saw him lose his unbeaten record. 11 months and four fights later he travelled to Berlin, Germany with a weeks’ notice to battle Vitali Klitschko. Byrd was losing the contest but the giant Ukrainian had suffered a damaged rotator cuff and was forced to retire from the contest after nine rounds handing the American a surprise victory and the WBO world title to boot.
Demonstrating his courage, self-belief and maybe a hint of madness he signed to fight the other brother, Wladimir, six months later only to lose his belt on points over the championship distance to a man hungry for family redemption. As you can imagine Byrd has huge respect for a fighter who is willing to risk everything to face the best and questions today’s obsession with unbeaten records.
“Once you lose it’s almost as if you’re done in the sport these days. Look at Amir Khan; he lost two fights in a row. Is he really washed up? No of course he’s not and under a new trainer he could become a world champion again.”
“Boxing is a style matchup” he continued. “You ain’t gonna look the same in every fight. I admire guys who are willing to fight anyone even if they are the cash cow and they could make a ton of money against fighters who are gonna make them look good.”
Turning his attention to the heavyweight division the now 42-year-old Flint lefty revealed his admiration for Britain’s two big men and admitted right now they are the very best of the current crop of contenders.
“England has the two best guys at heavyweight in David Price and Tyson Fury. They ain’t brothers but they are at odds with each other right now!” he quipped, referring to the recent exchanging of words between the pair.
When will the next great American heavyweight rise to prominence? That is the million dollar question yet to be answered and Byrd, who faced many of the last generation’s greats, isn’t totally sold on this crop either.
“The heavyweight scene in America is in a re-building phase. We’ve got some young guys out there who have ability but need to work on their mind set and their skill set” he said
Deontay Wilder, a huge physical specimen of a man from the Deep South, who has been knocking opponents over more often than a house bowling ball demolishes pins, has racked up a scary looking 26-0 record, all by knockout or stoppage, but Byrd is yet to be convinced he is the man to make American’s care about heavyweight boxing again.
“Deontay Wilder is like a Michael Grant. A Michael Grant in progress, he’s very raw! When you have so many knockouts it scares me because who are you fighting to get a record like that? I don’t think Mike Tyson had so many early knockouts at this stage of his career. He needs to step up. When Grant fought Lewis he wasn’t ready but his competition had been better than Wilder’s has been. When a guy is 22-0 with 22 knockouts and six months later he is 28-0 with 28 knockouts, he needs to fight!!
With former Gridiron footballer Seth Mitchell losing his unbeaten record to Jonathan Banks recently and the aforementioned Wilder facing questionable opposition does Byrd see the British duo as the only serious threats to the Klitschko domination of the division?
“Well Vitali is 40 something and Wladimir 36. I look at David Price and he’s got a ton of talent. He can pop, he knows how to keep his distance, and he makes you think before you come in. Both these big guys (Price and Fury) can really fight. They are a tough matchup for anybody in the division and that is without mentioning David Haye. If he chooses to fight again he could still be the best but to prove it he would have to beat these two giants in his own country!”

Charr: "I agree with Haye - Chisora is a loser!"
World Boxing News: Charr refuses to pimp his record with 'Del Boy' bout: I agree with Haye - Chisora is a loser!
Quote:
WBC fringe title-holder Manuel Charr has ruled out taking on Dereck Chisora as the Lebanese fighter hopes to lure David Haye or current full champion Vitali Klitschko in for a clash in 2013.
Charr, who has just one loss against Vitali in his 22 bouts, has long been linked with a possible fight with ‘Del Boy’ after both failed to dethrone ‘Dr. Ironfist’ – although the ‘Diamond Boy’ has told WBN he has no interest in any future match-up with the Londoner.
"I have to agree with David Haye in what he said even before he fought Chisora that he is a loser,” Charr told World Boxing News.
“He is coming off three straight losses now - even four if you include the press conference with Haye in Munich and I'm not interested in beating a guy who has already been beaten by everybody. What's the point?
"I'm sure I could knock him out, but I guess we'll never find out because I just don't see that fight happening. I'm not desperately looking for an opponent and I think the only fights Chisora can get now is with guys who need to pimp their records with a decent name.
“I am not afraid to fight anybody, but I am always looking for the biggest possible challenge and there are definitely bigger fish in the sea than Dereck Chisora at the moment. I’d rather take any of the guys who already beat Chisora than fighting him,” he added.
Chisora has kept a low profile since he was stopped in five rounds by Haye in London last summer and may look for a morale-boosting win for his comeback as rumours swirl that the former British champion could face David Price for his old belt later this year.

Boxingscene and fightnews are often have the same articles in English, but a day or so later (like the Marriusz Wach's sad confession article).

I don't read any languages other than English, I just use Google Translate.
By the way, I know where to find links to livestreams streams to most important fights, especially those in Europe. So if you are ever looking for one, contact me by PM before the fight.
I've never used google translate cos I don't really read the foreign websites. Ill have a look at them soon though. I usually use wiziwig or firstrow sports, they usually cover all fights. If I ever need another one ill give you a shout.

Vyacheslav Glazkov vs. Malik Scott is set for Feb 23.
NBC is putting on some quality matchups. :)
Vyacheslav Glazkov-Malik Scott Set For February 23 - Boxing News
Another article on the fight here:
Happy to see Glazkov, but not vs. Scott - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN
Quote:
Heavyweight prospect Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (14-0, 10 KOs), a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist from Ukraine, got tremendous exposure in his last fight when he made Tor Hamer quit after four rounds in the opening bout of the return of boxing to NBC on Dec. 22.
Glazkov will look to build on that solid performance when he headlines the Feb. 23 edition of NBC Sports Net’s “Fight Night” series.
The downside, however, is that Glazkov, 28, has been matched with 35-year-old Malik Scott (35-0, 12 KOs), who has a sterling record but has built it against 35 nobodies and put more people to sleep than Ambien. I’ve been hard on Scott through the years. I admit it. I hung the nickname “80-72” on him because so many of his fights -- against overmatched opponents -- went the distance and he won by shutout rather than even remotely try to press the action. It’s a real shame, too, because Scott has the size and the skills but has never shown an ounce of fire in the ring. Even when in total control, he refuses to try to stop his opponent.
After more than a three-year-layoff, Scott returned last February and made a halfway decent fight (by his low standards, anyway) in an -- you guessed it -- 80-72 decision against Kendrick Releford on Showtime Extreme. I tried to give him another chance, but then, two fights later, Scott absolutely stunk the joint out again in a lame eighth-round TKO win against Bowie Tupou (who injured his arm, which caused the end of the fight) in September on the Andre Ward-Chad Dawson undercard. The fight was so bad, the crowd was booing before the first round was over. I watched the whole fight at ringside. I’ll never get that half hour of my life back.
So I feel for Main Events matchmaker Jolene Mizzone. She did not want to make Glazkov-Scott. She tried hard to make a more fan-friendly match. She told me she offered the fight to 11 different heavyweights before having no other choice but to take Scott. Those other guys did not want to face Glazkov or were not happy with the money or both. Heavyweights such as Magomed Abdusalamov, Travis Kauffman, Joe Hanks, David Rodriguez and Franklin Lawrence all turned it down.
So now we’re stuck with Glazkov-Scott. Maybe, for once, Scott will fight with a shred of passion. He doesn’t deserve it, but Scott is going to be on national TV. If he isn’t going to fight with passion then, when will he ever?
Whatever he does, I’m not worried because I refuse to watch the fight live. I’ll DVR it, watch the Showtime card that is on opposite “Fight Night” and then find out the result of Glazkov-Scott before speeding through it. I’ve watched too many terrible Scott fights to be suckered again.

Re: Heavyweight Fight Schedule
Glazkov vs. Scott isn't a bad fight at all. I understand Scott is a technician, but it's a good step up for both guys.

Re: Heavyweight Fight Schedule
Deontay Wilder vs. Matt Greer on 1/19
Heavyweight Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder, 26-0 (26ko) returns to the ring just a month removed from his last bout, an impressive 3rd round one-punch stoppage over previously undefeated Kelvin Price on Showtime TV. The overhand right was listed as one of Showtime’s “Knockouts of the Year 2012″.
Quote:
Wilder is slated to face Matt “Gator” Greer in a scheduled 8-rounder on a Golden Boy/Pepe Gomez promoted card from Villahermosa, Tabasco January 19th. The show will be televised in Mexico by Televista and in the United States on Fox Espanol. No word on whether the Wilder bout will be part of the telecast. The main event pits Sergio Thompson against Moises Castro for the WBC Silver Super Featherweight Title.
Greer, of St. Louis, Missouri is 15-8 (13ko) and coming off a win in his previous bout. His last opponent of note, Dennis Boytsov (31-0) stopped him in six rounds in Germany. Greer was scheduled to fight undefeated Cuban Mike Perez but opted for the Wilder fight instead.
For his part, Wilder has maintained a busy pace, mixing in six bouts in 2012 between sparring assignments with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Malik Scott, Audley Harrison and Tony Thompson.
“We were asked if we wanted to fight in Mexico and of couse said yes,” said Wilder’s trainer/manager Jay Deas. “Deontay has avid fans in Mexico from two previous fights there and promoter Pepe Gomez has been good to us. Deontay is always in the gym so we’re able to take fights on short notice. We found out about this on Wednesday and will fly out just a few days later. As for Greer we know he’s a puncher and game. We’re glad he stepped up to the challenge where others turned it down. This is short notice for Greer and us as well.”
Stated Wilder, “I’m always ready to fight. They have great fans in Mexico and I look forward to fighting for them. As you know, I’m the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Champion and the WBC is based in Mexico. Viva Mexico!!”
Team Wilder, which includes Deas, former two time World Champion Mark Breland and Canadian Russ Anber will fly out Tuesday, Jan. 15th.

Fair enough for Wilder taking that fight early in the year, but after he knocks him out I hope he fights somebody respectable.

Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury back in March for US debut
World Boxing News: Peter Fury: No venue for Tyson's US debut yet, but he will fight a young opponent!
Quote:
Plans for Tyson Fury to fight on March 17th in New York City are not yet finalised, according to the fighter’s trainer Peter - although the former Irish champion’s US debut is still set to go ahead.
The highly-ranked WBC contender, who is said to be ready for his world title test this year, was touted to fight on St. Patricks’ Day at ‘The Big Apple’ but continues to await more details of the Stateside contest.
“ USA will be the next venue for Tyson,” Peter Fury told World Boxing News.
“A date and opponent are not yet confirmed, but Tyson will be out again in March as he builds towards fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world.”
Fury then went on to have a slight dig at his nephew’s arch-rival David Price by cheekily stating: “And I can tell you this, Tyson will be fighting a young opponent,” in a verbal jab at the British champion’s recent challengers Matt Skelton and Audley Harrison.
Fury, 24, is in-line to face the winner of the upcoming WBC title eliminator between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne next month and is currently scouting American foes for his spring bout before looking towards the Klitschko brothers.

I like Arreola and Stiverne over Fury.
