Tempers Flare on Air, Emotions Spill Off Set
The tension between British heavyweights David Adeleye and Jeamie Tshikeva, known as TKV, has reached a boiling point ahead of their much-anticipated English title fight in Manchester this Saturday. The animosity between the two fighters was on full display during a joint interview on talkSPORT, where sharp exchanges hinted at the intensity expected in the ring.
However, the verbal sparring that occurred on air paled in comparison to the confrontation that ensued immediately after the interview. Reports from the scene reveal that the altercation escalated quickly, forcing media staff to intervene and separate the two competitors.
Heated Words and Bold Threats
During the on-air discussion, Tshikeva unleashed a series of expletives aimed directly at Adeleye, questioning his actions and motivations. "Shut your f***ing mouth. Who the f*** are you pulling up to like that?" Tshikeva exclaimed, setting the stage for what would become a verbal showdown.
Adeleye, 28, maintained his composure initially, responding with a terse, "Shut your mouth." The tension continued to mount as Tshikeva added, "Bro, shut the f*** up," further escalating the situation.
Earlier tensions had been simmering, with Adeleye making threatening remarks on the radio: "I'm gonna break this guy's skull, I'm telling you. I'm gonna really hurt him. Trust me." Tshikeva fired back, accusing Adeleye of bullying, stating, "You're just trying to be a bully. Really and truly, you're just pretending."
Fighter Profiles: Rising Stars in the Heavyweight Division
David Adeleye has been a prominent figure in the British heavyweight scene, once hailed as Britain's next star by boxing legend Tyson Fury following their sparring sessions. Despite suffering his first defeat in October 2023 at the hands of Fabio Wardley, Adeleye demonstrated resilience by securing a decisive first-round knockout against Solomon Dacres in December. This victory has positioned him as a formidable contender in the upcoming title clash.
On the other side, Jeamie Tshikeva (TKV) boasts an impressive record of 8 wins and 1 loss. His sole defeat came against Igor Adiel Macedo in 2023, but he has bounced back strongly with three consecutive victories since then.

Fight Event: Under the Spotlight of Joe Joyce’s Return
