Brook moved to 35-0 in May with a sixth round stoppage win over Frankie Gavin in London in the second defense of his crown, and is looking to chase down ‘Money’ Mayweather, who declared himself retired after beating Andre Berto in Las Vegas on Saturday night. “Floyd’s last fight on Saturday means that the door is open for someone to become boxing’s new mega-star – and I want to be that man,” said Brook. “His 49-0 record is incredible and he leaves a phenomenal legacy behind, but I believe I can reach that pinnacle and go past it.” The 29-year-old Brook needs 15 wins to surpass Mayweather (and Marciano). That would take him five years IF he fights three times a year. Andrade returns Oct 17 at Mohegan Sun It was announced today at the Rhode Island State House that undefeated former WBO jr. middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade will return to the ring on October 17 when he takes on Dario Fabian Pucheta that will take place at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. The bout will be contested for the WBO International jr. middleweight belt. Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) will be returning for the first time in 16 months after having his world title stripped due to inactivity. Pucheta of Benos Aires, Argentina has a record of 20-2 with 11 knockouts. The 28-year-old has won three in a row which includes his last bout when he stopped Bethuel Ushona (32-2) on October 4, 2014 in Windhoek, Namibia. Malignaggi opponent named: Hungary’s Laszlo Fazekas Paul Malignaggi’s Italian fight on September 26 at Principe theater in Milan was announced a couple of weeks ago. Now we also know the name of his opponent: Hungarian Laszlo Fazekas, who has fought professionally 50 times building a record of 27 wins (17 kos), 21 losses, 1 draw and 1 no-contest. He fought many times in the U.K. always producing a good performance. There’s also more news: the fight will be at the eight round distance (rather than the scheduled six rounds). Joshua-Whyte set for Dec 12 showdown Unbeaten heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte are predicting a knockout night when they clash for the British and Commonwealth titles in Bad Intentions at The O2 in London on December 12. Both unbeaten men landed big KO wins at the weekend to secure the hotly-anticipated contest and set a date to settle a rivalry that stretches back to their early amateur days. Joshua blasted Gary Cornish away in 97 seconds, making his 14th straight win inside the distance his quickest to date. Whyte went to 16-0 with a 13th KO win, stopping Brian Minto in three. Whyte beat Joshua early in their amateur careers before Joshua went on to claim gold at the London 2012 Olympics, and with sparks flying in the build-up to Saturday’s action, the blue touch paper has already been lit for a huge night in December. http://boxrec.com/boxer/659461 Roy Jones Jr. now a Russian Citizen Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted Russian citizenship to American former world champion Roy Jones Jr. The official decree was published today on the website of the Kremlin.
