Jarvis \u2018back\u2019 as KO brings Tszyu hype<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s Brock Jarvis has catapulted himself into the Nikita Tszyu sweepstakes in devastating fashion \u2013 needing just four rounds before a brutal left hand ended the undefeated run of Sam Beck.<\/p>\n
Fighting for the first time since being stopped by American great Keith Thurman in March, Jarvis ended his Queensland rival with a left hook and then immediately declared himself ready for the younger Tszyu.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a fighter, I\u2019m here to fight,\u201d he told Main Event\u2019s Ben Damon immediately afterwards. \u201cI\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reunited once more with his longtime trainer, Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech, the Sydneysider was understandably cautious early but then quickly found his range.<\/p>\n
Once considered a genuine world title contender at super featherweight, Jarvis has more recently moved up five divisions for several reasons \u2013 among them a shot at Australia\u2019s fighting Tszyu brothers.<\/p>\n

Should Nikita Tszyu win tonight\u2019s headliner, there is already paperwork drawn up for a December showdown with Australian boxing bad boy Michael Zerafa.<\/p>\n
However with Zerafa now angling for a grudge match against Tim Tszyu, who has lost three of his pat four fights, promoters No Limit could switch focus and instead hand Jarvis a fight.<\/p>\n
There are also whispers suggesting that, with an early finish tonight, The Butcher could still possibly fight twice more this year.<\/p>\n
Regardless, Jarvis declared himself ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels unreal,\u201d he said of his outstanding return. \u201cAnd so good to be fighting here at home<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful to No Limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are back.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m coming for them all\u2019: Big ambitions for hyped rising star<\/p>\n
Ahmad Reda has declared his intentions to chase world titles \u2013 and with Hall of Fame trainer Johnny Lewis in his corner \u2013 after scoring an emphatic Australian super lightweight title win in Sydney.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m coming for them all,\u201d Reda said after scoring a comprehensive decision win over longtime domestic favourite Bruno Tarimo inside the ICC Theatre.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis proves we can bang.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell them boys I\u2019m going to be knocking on the door real soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
In what shaped as the biggest test of his undefeated career, Reda doubled the ring time of his previous longest fight, going through all 10 rounds against the far more experienced Tarimo — with the final scorecards reading comprehensively in his favour, 99-91, 98-92, 97-93.<\/p>\n
While he has long chased a showdown with Olympic favourite Harry Garside, 22-year-old Reda said now the was ready to take himself onto the international stage, and told promoters No Limit to ready themselves for a boxing takeover.<\/p>\n
The Sydneysider is now undefeated in seven professional appearances.<\/p>\n
The win came with Lewis \u2013 who formerly helped guide Garside \u2013 in his corner, with Reda saying he was \u201cblessed\u201d to have the Australian boxing godfather\u2019s support. <\/p>\n

Princess calls out \u2018big names\u2019 <\/p>\n
Australian super flyweight Jasmine \u2018Jazzy\u2019 Parr confirmed herself ready to go chase the sport\u2019s \u201cbig names\u201d \u2013 including hyped world champion Gabriela Fundora \u2013 after earning a big stoppage win in Sydney.<\/p>\n
After boxing strongly throughout her first four rounds against Singapore\u2019s undefeated Efasha Kamarudin, the daughter of Australian combat legend John Wayne Parr then started the fifth as if fired out of a cannon \u2013 and eventually ended her rival with 10 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
Already this week, Parr had told Fox Sports Australia of her plans to fight at least two more times this year as she pushes towards the biggest names in both her division and the one below.<\/p>\n
Among them is Gabriela Fundora, the undisputed flyweight queen whose big brother Sebastian most recently defend his own WBC super welterweight crown against Tim Tszyu.<\/p>\n
After winning on Wednesday night, Parr said she was determined to get the finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got to build this record and get the big names,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was itching all day for this, couldn\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love to fight\u201d.<\/p>\n
Parr also praised the toughness of a rival who she conceded was \u201ca lot harder than I thought \u2026 but I got the job done\u201d.<\/p>\n
The win is the Queenslander\u2019s second straight since dropping a contentious decision to longtime Aussie boxing queen Shannon O\u2019Connell last year.<\/p>\n

PRELIMS RECAP<\/p>\n
Heal wins on debut<\/p>\n
Ashleigh Heal has announced herself on the Australian domestic scene, scoring an entertaining debut win as her old man, Aussie basketball great Shane, watched on from the crowd.<\/p>\n
Entering her first bout with plenty of hype, the Sydney super middleweight earned a gutsy split decision win over the Gold Coast\u2019s Shannon Rose \u2013 who she dropped and bloodied in the second, and walked down through the opening three rounds.<\/p>\n
In the fourth and final round however, Rose rallied big time and at one point appeared to rock Heal when she caught her against the ropes.<\/p>\n
By the finish, two judges gave Heal the fight 39-36, while a third went 38-37 for Rose. <\/p>\n

\u2018Sign the contract\u2019: KO declaration from heavyweight<\/p>\n
Australian heavyweight Brandon Grach has demanded longtime rival Liam Talivaa sign on for a blockbuster trilogy bout this December, declaring: \u201cYou owe me\u201d. <\/p>\n
The declaration comes after \u2018The Bull\u2019 opened Wednesday night\u2019s No Limit pay-per-view with a brutal first round KO against Bensyn Pauga, and with his team revealing to Fox Sports Australia they are now battling to find even sparring partners willing to trade.<\/p>\n
An outstanding amateur who disappeared from the sport for 12 years, 32-year-old Grach has now called out both Talivaa and Demsey McKean as part of what he eventually wants to be a move into the United States.<\/p>\n
Opening the ICC Theatre card, Grach dropped his rival twice in the first round, both times with devastating right, left combinations, before the referee waved it off.<\/p>\n
It followed a bizarre start, with the fight delayed by several minutes after Pauga forgot to wear his groin guard to the ring.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the Queenslander disappeared backstage to get sorted, to return to the ring where Grach was waiting.<\/p>\n
From there, it lasted less than three minutes.<\/p>\n
With Bull saying afterwards he now wants into a trilogy.<\/p>\n
After finishing Talivaa with a brutal KO in 2023, it was Grach who then found himself stopped in a second incredibly entertaining showdown between the pair in April.<\/p>\n
And with the scores now split, the man who shares a promotional stable with the Tszyu brothers says the time has come for the two heavyweights to settle the deadlock. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd absolutely Liam Talivaa owes me,\u201d he told Fox Sports Australia afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cImmediately after that second fight, we were stood there in the ring and I\u2019ve said, \u2018so are we going to do this again or what?\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he says you don\u2019t deserve it\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis bloke, I put him to sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd still I gave him another shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo if his team is now saying he\u2019s got another fight lined up, fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll fight him after that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere would be so much interest in a trilogy fight, it has to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the best fight in Australian boxing right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re one each.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo why not have another one and see who really is the better man?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grach\u2019s manager Glen Jennings also revealed he wants the heavyweight to now fight almost every month, and has already signed off on a November bout against 2012 Olympian Johan Linde.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to fight every six weeks,\u201d the agent declared.<\/p>\n
\u201cProblem is, every time I try to line up an opponent, it\u2019s crickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, there are so few heavyweights at his level in Australia right now, they\u2019re all potential opponents which means these boys can\u2019t even spar each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo my plan for Brandon going forward, we want him in the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll put him into camp in the States and then bring him home for the biggest fights here.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd those fights will all be exhausted quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo once he gets the win column into double digits, we\u2019ll fight over there too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zerafa ‘feels for’ Tim Tszyu after loss | 01:20<\/p>\n
And as for a Talivaa showdown?<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve asked Matt Rose to make that fight,\u201d Jennings continued. \u201cAnd by December.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor those first two fights between them, the crowds went berserk.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes no sense not to do a trilogy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grach also said he would have no issue throwing down against McKean, who has previously called for a fight for either himself or Talivaa.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll throw down with anyone in this country,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
The Newcastle product also credited Wednesday night\u2019s performance, in part, to spending part of this camp sparring in Las Vegas, including a stint at Floyd Mayweather\u2019s gym.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich was an awesome experience,\u201d Grach said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was so invaluable because you just can\u2019t get that sort of sparring here in Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve got so many bodies over there, and the level overall is high, that you\u2019re always being pushed in sparring, always seeing new things, different styles, all the things that help you become a better fighter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were big guys, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Welterweight brawl<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sydney welterweight Isaias Sette won an entertaining, and at times chaotic, decision over Mt Druitt\u2019s Jacob Clenshaw \u2013 who he dropped and almost finished in the fifth and final round. <\/p>\n
Through 15 minutes, the pair traded in a continuing run of entertaining exchanges, although by the finish the scorecards read overwhelmingly for Sette: 49-45, 48-46 and 49-45.<\/p>\n
Debutant sizzles<\/p>\n
Earlier, Wollongong lightweight Blair Geraghty made an eye-catching debut on the early prelims, stopping Papua New Guinea\u2019s Naki Saguba in the third round. In an impressive first up showing, the finish came shortly after the Aussie worked his rival into a corner and, from there, teed off, with the fight then quickly waved off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If everything goes to plan on Wednesday night, Nikita Tszyu and Michael Zerafa will be a collision course…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-83579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
