Evander Holyfield vs John Ruiz III | Full Fight | WBA Heavyweight Title | 15/12/2001

Published

on



Holyfield won the WBA belt in August 2000, narrowly defeating Ruiz in controversial circumstances leading to the WBA mandating an immediate rematch. By the time the two met again in March 2001, promoter Don King had sold Holyfield’s subsequent defence to Chinese company Great Wall Promotions. However, Ruiz upset the champion, flooring Holyfield in the 11th round on his way to a unanimous decision. King then announced that the trilogy would be concluded in Beijing in the summer.

The Chinese government, persuaded that staging a major sporting event before a massive global audience would enhance their bid for the 2008 Olympics, initially gave its backing to the proposal, on the understanding that the fight would take place in June.

With Ruiz unavailable for the June date, the bout was rescheduled for August 5. But by then Beijing had secured the Olympics and the enthusiasm of the Chinese government cooled. By late July both the Ruiz and Holyfield camps had arrived in Beijing but the “Brawl at the Wall” was abruptly “postponed” when Ruiz sustained a neck injury in training.

The fight was rescheduled for November 24 but that was before HBO withdrew its support citing new state department travel guidelines following the September 11 attacks, declined to send a 100 crew to a country bordering Afghanistan and pulled out of the deal

The Chinese pressed ahead with the fight despite difficulties in raising sponsorship money, and King could not even search for an alternative venue until mid-October, when the Chinese officially defaulted by failing to produce a letter of credit.

King finally secured Foxwoods and Ruiz agreed to take a $500,000 reduction in his scheduled $3.7m purse in return for a larger proportion of the live gate. Foxwoods, located less than two hours’ drive from Ruiz’s hometown, sold out the first day it put tickets on sale.

Holyfield was hoping to make history by capturing a heavyweight world title for a unprecedented fifth time.

🤬Wilder’s Fury MELTDOWN on TalkSPORT | 😡”I have THE FACTS‼️

What was supposed to be an interview promoting Wilder’s upcoming fight with Derek Chisora quickly descended into chaos when Jordan brought up Tyson Fury and Wilder’s long-running allegations about their previous fights.

Wilder made it clear he didn’t want to discuss Fury, but Jordan wasn’t prepared to let the subject go.

The exchanges became increasingly heated, voices were raised and Wilder eventually got out of his seat and moved towards Jordan, forcing security to step in.

The Bronze Bomber then stormed out of the studio!

🧨AJ vs MILLER: One that got away | #AnthonyJoshua #Boxing #AJ #FuryJoshua

Published

on



Will they ever release the ‘Gloves are Off’ episode between Anthony Joshua & Jarrell Miller?

AJ hopes not: “It was 1-1 in face-offs but I got battered. We had a freestyle battle. Miller has bars.

“I was just taking shot, after shot, after shot after shot… I was just thinking “this mother…”

“I hope they don’t show that, and if they do, I want some royalties.”

Joshua had previously joked: “I’m so glad our fight fell through.”

• The Rap Battle: Joshua initiated an impromptu freestyle rap battle during the sit-down. He messed up his lyrics after his fourth bar, while Miller responded with an extended, punchline-heavy tirade.

• Joshua’s Reaction: Joshua later admitted in interviews (such as with iFL TV via talkSPORT) that he got “battered” during the verbal sparring and joked that he was glad the fight was canceled so the footage wouldn’t see the light of day.

• Miller’s Perspective: Miller claimed he successfully got under Joshua’s skin, describing the British champion as lacking the gritty trash-talking edge of a New York fighter.

• Fan Demand: While promoter Eddie Hearn expressed interest in releasing the footage given high public curiosity, Sky Sports never aired the segment.

Following Miller’s failed drug test, Joshua went on to lose against Andy Ruiz and could definitely be considered a sliding doors moment for AJ.
