Boxing Should Be Banned Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Former WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KOs) recently claimed that his camp is negotiating with current WBC Silver welterweight titlist Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) for a potential fight in November amidst reports that the Briton is set to face ring legend “Sugar” Shane Mosley in Dubai on December 13.

It is certain that the 28-year-old Khan could not do both fights so close to each other so there must be one party who was not telling the truth.

“My team is taking care of the negotiations, I’m not really sure what’s going on at the moment,” Provodnikov said, as reported by SkySports. “I already came here for training camp a few days ago and I'm ready to fight anyone; whether it's him or somebody else I'm ready to fight.”

“I would be ready to fight him in Dubai or here, my team knows the details, but the fight is supposed to be in America,” the 31-year-old Russian added.

Boxing Scene indicated that a fight between the two boxers is actually being set to happen on November

We think it’s really an attractive, fun fight and it’s a good fight for both guys,” Espinoza said. “We’re hoping that Khan will accept the fight. Provodnikov is all-in and ready to do it.”

Espinoza admitted that this fight is not a sure one yet as they still have to get Khan to accept it. The Showtime exec scheduled a meeting with the Bolton native last weekend and there are still no reports on how it went through.

This means that Khan has not yet said “yes” to either the Mosley or Provodnikov camps on who he wants to face this last quarter of the year.

Meanwhile, a report from ESPN said that Khan’s eyes are completely looking towards eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao next year.

“Nah, complete nonsense, mate,” said Khan. “We going for Pacquiao. In talks.”

The report also disclosed that the former WBA, WBA (Super) and IBF light welterweight champion intends to let the rest of the year pass before fighting Pacquiao in February or March

    Though Muhammad Ali was not one to skirt with the concept of breaking the law and resorting to aggressive means to ensure his survival outside of the ring, but he was known to stir controversy when his opinions, often strong, were to clash with the established norms and issues of the time. One of the most notable examples was his eventual arrest and conviction upon refusing to serve in the armed forces during the Vietnam War. An institution that was one of the primary elements of the counter-culture of the 60s was the act of drafting soldiers to fight in the Vietnam War, a conflict that was waged with the objective of stopping the then-threat of communism throughout South East Asia. With the Johnson administration focusing on ending the war…

    But why was he included at all? Much of Rahim Khan’s role in the book could have been covered by Baba during Amir’s childhood, and Rahim Khan’s role in Amir’s return could have easily been a number of sources, such as stories from family members or similar sources. However, that is exactly who Rahim Khan was. Rahim Khan is Amir’s uncle (figuratively). Although he is not technically Amir’s father, and does not directly serve the role of Baba, Rahim Khan does much of the role of raising Amir and in many cases treats him like his own son.…
