What is said in the show
Alexandre Herbinet launches a new format of Jab & Hook with Bruno Surace and Bilel Jkitou as regular analysts, following the departure of the previous team. The show opens with the geopolitical context of the fight in Riyadh, then the three men take a detailed look at the clash between Christian Mbilli and Canelo Alvarez for the WBC super-middleweight title: styles, motivation, judges, predictions. They then discuss their respective news: Bruno Surace signing with Zofa Boxing for six fights, with a first bout scheduled in Saudi Arabia before the end of the year, and Bilel Jkitou's situation - he personally organized his November 13 fight in Clichy for the IBA middleweight title against Argentine Gabriel Albert, after nearly facing Aaron McKenna and Carlos Adames through Ali Abdelaziz. The show then covers O'Shaquie Foster's unification win over Emanuel Navarrete, Daniel Dubois's quick KO of Fabio Wardley in their rematch, the Fury-Joshua fight announced in Cardiff, and rumors surrounding a Naoya Inoue vs Jesse Rodriguez bout in Tokyo in March.
