Having won the belt in a huge upset against Kid Galahad, Martinez was not expected to hold on to it for too long. And here it proved to be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Kiko Martinez is a remarkable boxer and fighter. When he was announced as Galahad\u2019s first defense, it was clear that most believed Galahad had a given for his first defence. Beating Galahad to win the belt, Martine gave us another, tremendous narrative and an amazing plot twist. He still, however, even as the defending champion, came into the Warrington fight as an underdog, a warrior, a dangerous man. He left the ring exactly that \u2013 he was brave, and he was exceptional with an incredible heart. Unfortunately, apart from breaking Warrington\u2019s jaw and left hand, he could not break his spirit or determination to win back his old belt.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Under the radar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also, on Saturday the 26th of March in Wembley, cruiserweight Richard Riakporhe produced the right result when he stopped Deion Jumah in the eighth round. Jumah loses his unbeaten record and Riakporhe is now looking towards a world title shot sometime in the next 18 months or so.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Saturday the 26th of March saw the IBO intercontinental super middleweight fight in Dortmund between Felix Sturm and Istvan Szili, end with Szili taking a strange majority decision. Sturm is past it and was well beaten. Szili was no genius and is likely to toil if he goes up the ranks but a win\u2026 is a win\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>International \u2013 most intriguing<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday the 26th of March in Accra, Ghana, Scottish welterweight Lee McAllister was down for the WBO intercontinental title. At time of writing, it is still on BOXREC but without any result. I cannot find it anywhere so can only guess that, following the Scott Harrison comeback PBC Commonwealth title fight against an African opponent where McAllister was involved in the promotion, and the African fighter pulled out at the last minute, that something may not be going smoothly. It\u2019s a guess and I do not know \u2013 but it could be he went, he saw, he conquered, with Lee, you never know \u2013 he is that full of surprises \u2013 it\u2019s why I like him.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mentioned in dispatches<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Dubai, cruiserweight Mike Perez beat Vasil Ducar for the WBO intercontinental title when Ducar retired. On UK soil, and in Newcastle, super lightweight Lewis Ritson had a wide points win against Dejan Zlaticanin, in Wembley Caroline Dubois scored her second professional fight in as many contests with a first round stoppage and in Leeds, Maria Cecilia Roman lost her IBF bantamweight title on points to Ebanie Bridges with Bridges showing she certainly can fight. Lightweight Maxi Hughes also successfully defended his IBO title against Ryan Walsh on points.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fast Forward \u2013 the week to come as viewed from one side of the Atlantic<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>UK \u2013 biggest and most notable<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This Saturday the 2nd of April, the WBO title fight between Savannah Marshall and Femke Hermans at middleweight is the aperitif number two as Marshall is working towards the showdown with Claressa Shields \u2013 what we all know is the main course. Shields shall be in the crowd when Marshall defends her title in Newcastle, and if Marshall wins and we get the same showdown as we got at Shields\u2019 fight a few short weeks ago, this could be a massive spectacle outside as well as inside the ring. Hermans is nobody\u2019s fool. She is a former world champion and dangerous. It would be a massive shock if Hermans was to win, and it is abundantly clear that nobody thinks that may happen\u2026 we just have to hope that Hermans has read that script fully!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mentioned in dispatches<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite a quiet bunch of cards in the UK as the Newcastle card includes the coheadlining Albanian Florian Marku taking on Chris Jenkins. In Rotherham we also have the British flyweight title fight between hardy journeyman, Craig Derbyshire and Tommy Frank on Sunday the 3rd of April.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Future History \u2013 and the week to follow\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>UK \u2013 biggest and most notable<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another week where there are five cards throughout the weekend from Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th with plenty of endeavour and honest toil \u2013 in Blackpool, Manchester, Glenrothes, Oldham and in the iconic York Hall.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Saturday 9th April<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In Japan we get to see Gennady Golovkin take on Ryota Murata in a WBA\/IBF middleweight unification fight which may see the trilogy set up with Canelo should he get past Murata and Canelo beats Bivol\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>International \u2013 most intriguing<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Saturday 9th April<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We have a couple of choices as in Denmark there is the WBO female bantamweight title fight between Dina Thorslund and Niorkis Carreno or the WBC interim super welterweight title fight between Erikspon Lubin and Sebastian Fundora.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Donald \u201cBraveheart\u201d Stewart UK \u2013 biggest and most notable Last Saturday, the 26th of March, in Leeds, DAZN and Matchroom provided the platform where the IBF featherweight title returned to Josh Warrington as he stopped Kiko Martinez in a fantastic rematch.
