Riot in Turkey,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMdzY_xkjrA

A boxing match between Russian fighter Gorokhov and Turkish Emirhan. It was held in Turki but unfortunately, Gorokhov won the fight and the fans of Emirhan was not able to accept the defeat and so a riot broke out and it looks like Gorokhov was hit and knock down.

There could be more videos out there that might show the entire fight.

Kind of reminds me of when John Riel Casimero fought Luis Lazarte in Argentina many years ago.

Yes, very similar when Casimero was still in the beginning of his career and willing to travel to hostile territory and beat their champion.

And from what I read, the Russian fighter winning was overruled by the Turkish commissioner and turn it to a NC or No Contest. Talking about home cook decision and it really is very bad for boxing. This should really be look upon and perhaps this could be a black eye for Turkey as boxers might not willing to travel and fight there because of this incident.

Is the reason behind the No Contest is the riot after the decision?  If it is, is it not related to the match?  Although the escalation may probably came from the coach of the Russian boxer, but the assigned security should have managed to prevent the riot unless they let it go and just get into the ring after the damage was done.

Anyway, should the regulatory board sanction the Turkish sports commission for its failure to prevent the unexpected riot inside the ring?

Maybe you can read it here mate:

The sanctioning body holds limited authority, and the ruling follows standard procedure. Once the ropes are breached and extra hands get involved, the result cannot stand and is taken out of the record. An investigation is underway, with suspensions and fines expected after reports are filed. The verdict now comes from officials, not from the punches that ended it.

And they are fighting under UBO (Universal Boxing Organization), I haven't heard this organization before. But in any case, yes, they should sanction Turkish boxing for allowing this melee to happen inside the ring.

I'm not really sure if there is a security presence in this fight, usually in local scene, there might no none at all or just a few. But in the video, it looks like it was really quick to escalate that everyone is jumping and trying to hit the Russian fighter and his team.

So they suffer some physical injuries. Maybe they can file a protest as clearly he won the fight already. But the Turkish boxing commission overturn it. That should be the right action but we don't as it looks like they don't want their fighter to lose here.

Daniel Dubois with a heavyweight belt again.
He won the IBF belt after defeating Anthony Joshua in 2024, but lost it next year to Usyk. After Usyk vacated the WBO belt, it fell in hands of Fabio Wardley.
On Saturday night, Wardley was defeated by Dubois by TKO in the 11th round, and so Dubois is now the new WBO heavyweight champion.

The fight was brutal. Dubois got dropped and was counted twice, in the 1st and 3rd round, but has proven he's not a quitter and was doing some damage to Wardley until the referee decided to stop the fight in the 11th round.
If you missed it, here are some decent highlights:

Anyone see the fight between Filip Hrgovic vs Dave Allen?

Hrgovic just blasted Allen and a stoppage out in just 3 rounds in their heavyweight class. Allen's corner throw in the towel as they have seen too much and doesn't want Dave to take more punishments.

And it looks like he is looking for Moises Itauma next, the rising star in the heavyweight division.

The thread for the Nery vs. Casimero fight got locked after the postponement. The fight happened today and Casimero got the upset, winning by knockout.

Nery missed weight by three pounds and perhaps that struggle to make weight was why he looked so weak. Be that as it may, it is a good win for Casimero who is once again a world title contender.

I don't know what happened to Luis Nery, seems like he take this fight lightly and think that he could defeat Casimero easily even without proper training. That rehydration clause to just 134-lbs maybe is the factor why Nery looked so weak and good thing that Casimero took advantage of that as he downed Nery 3 times in the 1st round alone. That was a very important win for Casimero in front of the Japanese crowd and knocking out Nery who once knock downed their hometown hero Inoue. So with this recent development, Casimero would rise up in the rankings and who knows he could fight for a championship or even got a crack on Naoya Inoue.

It's a good way to call out for Inoue though it's still depends if Inoue's camp will bite that, not unless there's a huge amount of money that will pressure them and accept it or make the fight to happen, let see if after beating Nery, if Casimero will finally have his chance to fight the monster, anything can happen if money will play and will negotitate behind the door, looking forward to see both fearless fighters inside the same ring.

Inoue has been the A-side of his last 5 fights or more, so I don't think that it's all about money for him if he will be fighting Casimero next. It could be his legacy or just wanting to shut Casimero mouth as he has been trash traking Inoue for the longest time.

One positive thing is that Casimero's manager is known in Japan, which is Koki Kameda. So it's not that difficult if they are willing to sit down and negotiate. But with this win, there are a lot of doors that open to Casimero again not just inoue.

A Casimero vs Inoue showdown in my view is very far from happening due to the fact that Inoue has lost his interest in fighting Casimero and besides Quadro Alas doesn't have the belt for now. But the good thing for Casimero, after his win against Luis Nery, doors for bigger fights have open up and his fights hereon will be money fights for him, that's the important thing for him right now.

Yes, you are right after upsetting Nery chances that money fight will be discuss on his camp, he just need to continue winning his fight, just like what you said Inoue's camp is still by far not unless Casimero will win a belt and if there's a huge amount of money that will be in stake, chances that it might happen but for now, let Casimero enjoy his win as knowing his personality he will keep voicing out what he wanted to do next.

There's a bit of a freak fight coming up this Saturday in Manchester, UK. Tyson Fury's younger brother (or half-brother?), Tommy Fury, will take on a former world's strongest man, Eddie Hall.
Tommy's current record is 11-0. but nowadays he seems to be focused on fighting celebrities rather than actual boxers. He made his name by winning against Jake Paul by decision.
For Eddie, this will be his second boxing fight. Previously, he lost to another strongman, Hafthor Bjornsson, by unanimous decision, which was back in 2022.

I'm not sure if any betting site supports this event, but I imagine Fury would be a strong favourite.

@pawel7777, We already have a dedicated thread for that fight if you are not aware of: [Boxing]Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall - June 13.

I saw some PH local vloggers that Inoue might be interested to fight Casimero.

But with one condition, Casimero needs to become a champion first. Not sure if that will happened for Casimero as he unranked from the last time that I check the 122 lbs or at least outside of the top 10.

So it should be the other way around, Inoue as a champion might want to push those bodies to have him set up a fight with him.

Luis Nery is currently ranked #4 by the WBC. When they do their monthly update, I imagine Casimero will get a decent ranking that gets him close to a title opportunity. Inoue is champion in the weight class below, so he would probably require Casimero to become mandatory before fighting him.

What Casimero needs to figure out is how to become mandatory or world champion. Featherweight is a stacked division, so even if he makes it into the top 5, there are still significant obstacles in his path.

There was a WBO lightweight title fight scheduled for Saturday, 4th July, between the youngest champion, Abdullah Mason (22 years old) and Welsh Joe Cordina (aged 34) but it's not going to happen.
Cordina was forced out of the fight as he was denied an entry Visa to the United States. This was likely due to the criminal charges Cardina faces over assault on one of Cardiff's petrol stations, which allegedly happened back in February.
Cordina is also charged with "threatening a person with an offensive weapon".
This must've been devastating news for Cordina, a former two-time IBF junior lightweight beltholder, who was meant to travel to the US this week.

Hehehehe these vloggers are only fans of Johnriel Casimero? I am quite certain they are only inventing this declaration to trick followers and collect clicks from boxing fans in their country hehehe. Naoya Inoue will not a small name in boxing like Johnriel. According to some news updates, Inoue will fight Bam Rodriguez which I very much wish will be in Las Vegas where Naoya Inoue will have more exposure in America. This will imply that he will fight more bigger names for 2027 and 2028!
