Archie Sharp Signs with Probellum

[maverick23]

i get what they're doing though. he's obviously very at risk vs good domestic opposition, so they gotta protect him to be able to capitalize on the high world ranking. basically summing up 2 of the worse partss of boxing 1. undeserving title challengers and 2. protected fighters

once he loses he'll probably be matched tougher in the uk and pick up several more loses. at british level there's interesting fights for him.

It’s the sanctioning bodies that deserve the heat for this. There’s no way they can justify Sharp as being the number 1 challenger. It’s one thing letting him in the top 15 but they need to be far stricter about who they allow in the number 1 or 2 spots.

A lot of mtk fighters signing with Probellum. Surely it wont be long till the big boys start going over.

Luke Fury anyone?

[margaret thatcher]

the actual fights for these guys seem to be lagging way behind the signings, i guess its really early days though

[stujones]

I would really like to see Probellum work with Sky - they've signed so many big "old" sky names. I think between Boxxer and Probellum you could fill a number of dates.

Liam Wilson-Archie Sharp Lightweight Fight To Land On Charlo-Tszyu Undercard

The void left behind by Shakur Stevenson at junior lightweight has resulted in at least two significant fights secured to help reshape the title picture.

Matt Rose of No Limit Boxing has confirmed a deal in place between Australia’s Liam Wilson and England’s Archie Sharp to meet. The fight will take place on the undercard of the Jermell Charlo-Tim Tszyu undisputed junior middleweight championship clash on January 28 in Las Vegas, likely at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

No Limit Boxing represents both Wilson and Tszyu.

A push was made for the Sharp-Wilson bout to come with the vacant WBO junior lightweight title at stake, which became available along with the WBC belt when Stevenson (19-0, 9 KOs) missed weight ahead of his September 23 win over Robson Conceicao. Sharp—who fights for Probellum—is the current number-one contender, while Wilson is number four.

However, that status has changed as it was confirmed that reigning WBO featherweight titlist Emanuel Navarrete plans to campaign at junior lightweight for his next fight and has first rights to challenge for the vacant title as a recognized ‘Super’ champion. It has been widely reported that Navarrete (36-1, 30 KOs) will next face former two-division titlist Oscar Valdez for the WBO 130-pound title, targeted for February 3 at a location to be determined.

The WBO is currently considering a proposal by No Limit Boxing for Sharp-Wilson to serve as a final eliminator and with a guarantee to face the winner of the proposed Navarrete-Valdez title fight.

Wilson (11-1, 5 KOs) has won his last two starts, including a revenge-fueled second-round knockout of Joe Noynay in March to avenge a stunning fifth-round stoppage defeat last July. In his most recent start, Wilson—a 26-year-old contender from Caboolture, Queensland, Australia—earned a ten-round, unanimous decision win over Matias Rueda on June 29 in Brisbane.

Sharp (22-0, 9 KOs) has steadily advanced in the WBO 130-pound rankings, taking aim at then-titlists Jamel Herring and Stevenson (19-0, 9 KOs) during his rise to contention. The 27-year-old Londoner has wisely fought in WBO-sanctioned regional title fights since 2018 to aid his cause.

Most recently, Sharp outpointed Alex Rat over ten rounds on June 18 in Leeds, England.

The fight will represent the first in the U.S. for both Sharp and Wilson, both of whom have fought exclusively in their respective home countries.

Probellum obviously means problem but it could be an amalgamation of that and Parabellum, like the 9mm Parabellum rounds they kill their victims with
