Random Boxing Quiz.
Which British Boxer, an ex world champ world champion who last fought a year ago, won his professional title by being the first man to beat a boxer who himself was the last American to beat a current top boxer, holder of multiple world titles in different weights.
Name all three boxers to win three free tacos.
I will answer questions but only with a Yes or No.
This might be really easy. Or not. I have no idea. I've used a bit of trickery in the question.
Kell Brook
Shawn Porter
Oleksandr Usyk
Kell beat Porter on points to win his world title in America and last fought a year ago against Amir Khan.
Porter beat Usyk as an amateur (this must be the trickery you mention). Usyk is of course a current multi belt, multi weight world champion.

Will you post tacos to Essex?
Ok mate. I was going to send you a pair of first class tickets to San Diego but I'll just mail the tacos instead.
Keep your eyes out for a Manila envelope.
Well done though. i love stuff like that. Years ago i wrote an article connecting Jimmy Wilde knocking someone out to Mike Tysons loss to Buster Douglas in ten fights

I like this stuff too.
I could spend hours reading through boxers records on Wikipedia and linking them all back through the years.

Shabs what's your view on the Joyce Zhang fight, bookies over here have Joyce on short odds. Only seen Zhang once but he looked good, tank of a bloke?
Your right, mate. he's as tough as old boots. did better than expected against Filip Hrgović, who himself had not been as good as a pro as many expected.
I think it'll be a war. Two old tough blokes who can punch and take a punch. Joyce should grind him down around 6-9 rounds in my opinion but you never know, Zhang might still be there at the end.
Top bloke Denzil Bentley returns on the undercard after his better than expected showing for the WBO Middle world title in Vegas. He defends his British title against Keiron Smith.
There's a top female fight between Mikaela Mayer & Christina Linardatou.
Romford Light Welter Sonny Liston Ali (yes that's his real name) goes for his 6th win. 18 year old Moses Itauma goes for his 3rd win at Heavyweight. This is the bloke they are hyping to break Tysons youngest champ record. So far his fights have lasted 23 & 35 seconds. His opponent has never been stopped in 22 bouts (9 wins). He's fought a couple of punchers too. Will be nice to see how Itauma react after a bloke is still standing after 3 rounds.
Sam Noakes aka The Maidstone Golovkin 10(10)-0 defends his Commonwealth Lightweight belt against India's Karthik Sathish
Kumar. Noakes, along with the Itauma brothers & Dennis McCann are some of the boxers putting Medway boxing back on the map.
Joyce weighed in at 18st 4lbs (116kg), Zhang weighed in at 19st 12lbs (126kg). Joyce is much lighter, a stone lighter, than for his last fight against Joseph Parker.

Back around the same weight he was for Dubois. I reckon that means he'll be trying to box more & use that jab rather than walk through everything like he did with Parker.
