JEFFRIES TRAINS WITH MAYWEATHER

TONY JEFFRIES broke off from his holiday last week to spend a day under the watchful eyes of boxing's most famous family, the Mayweathers.

The Sunderland super-middleweight has spent the last three weeks backpacking around Brazil and North America with fiancée Sara Kneeshaw.

But when the pair reached Las Vegas, ‘Jaffa’ couldn’t resist an invite to team up with the controversial clan at their gym last Thursday (Aug 20).

Jeffries, 24, who bids for his fourth consecutive win at Seaburn Centre on October 16 explained: “I have a friend who knows one of the coaches and he invited me down.

“I got down there and was introduced to Floyd Jnr and his dad and spent a bit of time with them.

“Roger Mayweather then came in and watched while I did a good workout for about 20 or 30 minutes.

“Afterwards I sat down with Roger and he gave me some really good advice about what top boxers should and shouldn’t do.”

The Olympic bronze medallist is now back in the gym working under trainer Bobby Rimmer preparing for his hometown fight.

Knockout artist Jeffries added: “Roger is a mad character, but was great to listen to and I’ll use some of his tips in the gym.

“I have been busy and it was nice to give my body a rest with the holiday and now I am raring to go and get working with Bobby and Kerry Kayes.”

Also on the bill is possible future rival Darren Sutherland (4-0), who like Jeffries faces selected European opposition on the Sky televised show.

Dubliner Sutherland also won a bronze medal in Beijing last August and has stopped all of his professional opponents.

Heading the quality bill is a British super-bantamweight title defence by Jason Booth (33-5) who faces Hartlepool’s former European champion Michael Hunter.

Booth, 31, will be having his 17th major title contest and making the second defence of the championship he won against Mark Moran in April.

Tickets priced £35 and £90 are available from 0871 226 1508, Phil Jeffries 0191 564 0202 and www.frankmaloney.com. Those buying from the website will receive a discount.

Is Degale also over there

[Rixxy]

i know he was there, but not sure now. He was there for three weeks, so i would prosume so.

[15829]

its good to see the olympians pushing themseleves in sparring degale and jeffries with mayweather i heard frankie gavin is going to america an althoght not an olympian george groves has been sparring froch and all the top guys in italy

[whiskey]

Froch really rates Groves.

[alexpaterson]

It can only help these prospects sparring really good fighters like Mayweather and for DeGale sparring Dirrel it will only help them

[opticald]

The title of the topic should be "Jeffries gets a hiding from Mayweather in sparring".

[The Law]

Froch really rates Groves.

... and rightfully so. Groves is very talented and carries genuine power in both hands. Lets hope his chin holds up though ....

[hitman_hatton1]

Froch really rates Groves.

i thought only bigmark rated him.

JEFFRIES TRAINS WITH MAYWEATHER

TONY JEFFRIES broke off from his holiday last week to spend a day under the watchful eyes of boxing's most I hope Roger Mayweather didn't try and strangle and have sex with Jaffa....

The title of the topic should be "Jeffries gets a hiding from Mayweather in sparring".

Except that they didn't spar. As I mentioned to Maloney last week, "Jeffries trains with Mayweather" isn't an accurate title for the press release as the Mayweathers only "watched" Tony working out and Roger gave him some advice. They didn't really train together and they certainly didn't spar. Incidentally, West Drayton light-middle Steve O'Meara DID spar with Mayweather and the photos are up on Facebook.
