WBO officially ordered the WBC champion and Junior WBO Medium Libra, Sebastian Fund, start negotiations with his mandatory Xander Zayas. They have 20 days to come up with a contract before a handbag offer. However, the supervisor of the fund, Sampson Lewkowicz, says that he will see their union options, which has priority over his mandatory obligations.

The goal of the fund is the undisputed in 154. So, if he can fight one of the other two belt owners, he will be taken by the next and suspended defense against Zayas (21-0, 13 KO). Lewkowcz says that the fund will not leave its WBO or WBC titles. He will defend against his compulsory contenders because he respects this sport.

Orders WBO

Last Saturday evening, the fund (22-1-1, 14 KO) won the technical knockout of the fourth round of Chordale Booker in a voluntary defense at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. It was a fight designed for the Funda “The Wyshing Inferno” to pull the rust of the Rust from twelve months of inactivity from his victory over the WBO champion 154-pound Tim Tsyzu on March 30, 2024.

Zayas tried to start promoting the fight prematurely, tearing the ring last Saturday evening and asking for a meeting with the fund, which was not awarded.

“There would be no problem to fight Zayas. The only thing is that you never know in boxing. So we’ll see,” said Sampson Lewkowicz promoter to media About the fight between WBC and WBO Master Junior Medium Weight Sebastian Fundor and his mandatory WBO Xander Zayas.

“We have to negotiate and we have a month to make a decision. At the moment Zayas is obligatory. So we can’t talk to others. This can happen, unification and it would overcome this mandatory. If this is the IBF champion [Bakhram Murtazalev]Then they [Xander] I have to wait a little longer. In any case, he is a adolescent child. “

Champion IBF MURTAZALIEV published last night on X, congratulating the funds for his victory and informing him: “I’m ready” to start negotiating the struggle of unification. If Sebastian and Lewkowcz want to unite, it would be their chance.

“At the moment we are waiting for a letter with WBO. We will say immediately if we want it or do not. We do not wait a month to make a decision, but if we have the opportunity to earn much more money in unification,” said Lewkowcz. “Actually [Fundora] He will fight for the same money because he wants to reach his four titles. “

President WBO has already said that he wants Xander Zayas to fight for a belt within 120 days. The fund will have to decide if he wants this match to be next. It can be a better paid fight for them than to face Murtazaliev.

“I can’t make this decision as a promoter. It depends on the fund, but definitely number 1 at the moment is Zayas,” said Lewkowcz. “It is mandatory. We have to honor the mandatory. The only thing that can happen is a union because it would be more significant than money. I want to be unquestioned. It will never be [vacate his WBO title].

“The only thing is that there is an opportunity to fight for IBF. So he makes an exception, and then returns, but will honor mandars. Boxing is more than money,” said Sampson for the fund. “Many boxers sell their soul for money.

A hard decision is to make a fund about whether to fight Zayas or go at the start of union with one of the masters aged 154. If he believes in himself, he should go after the fight with Murtazaliev. Terenka Crawford, WBA Master, will be busy for the rest of this year, fighting with Canelo Alvarez in September.

IBF credibility under FIRE: The obligatory title of Derek Chisory against Daniel Dubois was considered a “joke” by Enraged Boxing Fan

Next month, IBF will order heavyweight master Daniel Dubois, defend his belt against a 41-year compulsory opponent, Derek Chisora, April 22. Two British have a deadline on June 21 to end this fight.

Social media fans are bad because of this fight. They believe that 27-year-old Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) is livid to defend his IBF heavyweight title against the past of his best Chisory (36-13, 23 KO), whose career is simple along with the careful associated with older warriors.

Safety concerns

IBF must make their title eliminators much more complex to prevent washed warriors to be washed by becoming obligatory pretenders and destruction by the masters. It is not sheltered to have fighters as aged as Chisora ​​challenging an elite hefty weight such as Dubois. What’s more, this is a bad product for fans who expect a competitive match.

Chisora ​​is the equivalent of an aged dinosaur who does not belong to the fight with anyone remotely talented. Placing a 42-year-old 42-year-old Chisory from Dubois is not sheltered and makes sport look bad in the eyes of fans. This is unfair to naive fans who will buy tickets for the event or order them on PPV if it is sold in this format.

Chisora ​​would be better to fight for struggle for careful, just like aged baseball players, when they are too aged to compete, but putting him with the world champion, such as Dubois, harm the honesty of this sport. People are nervous that IBF has clearly facilitated Chisor in the past, which has become mandatory for the Dubois belt along with the fight with Otto Wallin.

IBF should focus on the safety of fighters, because Chisora ​​looks and sounds as if he was not near a warrior who was in 2012, when wounded, one -armed Vitali Klitschko defeated him strongly. With one arm, Vitali defeated Chisora ​​like a drum. Delby looked like he didn’t belong to the same ring with him.

Many boxing fans believe that Chisora-Walllin’s fight should not have been sanctioned as an eliminator of the World IBF title. Anthony Joshua knocked out Wallin in five rounds and did not beat anyone noteworthy from this defeat. In the last fight, Wallin defeated the unclear heavyweight named Onoriode Ehwarieme.

Sanctioning Chisor’s fight vs. Wallin as an eliminator of the title was a joke. The Chisory record in the last eight fights is 4-4 since 2020, and his victory came against these little fighters:

Otto Wallin
Joe Joyce: 39
Gerald Washington: 42
Kubrat Pulev: 43

WBC The fleeting master of lightweight William Zepeda and Tevin Farmer got into a tiny change in today’s weighing to the rematch this Saturday, March 29, starting from 20:00 et / 17:00 PT, they live on Dazn at the polyforum Benito Juárez in Cancún, Mexico.

(Loan: Golden Boy / Cris Esqueda)

Weighting

Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KO) pushed the invincible Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) for no reason to show him that he means business on Saturday. Zepeda doesn’t speak English and he just smiled without words during the fight.

The former super feather champion IBF tried to intimidate or arouse Zeped. It seemed that it didn’t work. Zepeda just smiled, showing that he enjoyed theaters that the American brought to weighing.

Weights

William Zepeda 134.2 vs. Tevin Farmer 135
Oscar Collazo 105 vs. Edwin Cano 104.4

Both warriors looked as if they were already irrigated. No guy seemed exhausted, and this is a sign that they are real delicate, not persecutors. We got a lot of people in a department of 135 pounds, guys who look like they were turning to 160. After considering and did not have any activity in a ward other than using smaller fighters.

Zepeda defeated the 10-Rund farmer divided on November 16 last year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Tevin knocked down Zeda in the fourth round and fought well, even though there was a change in many rounds. In Zepeda’s championship rounds, she seemed to pull him out, landing many difficult shots that forced the farmer to hold.

Williams promoters in Golden Boy decided to pull the trigger with the farmer. They could let Zepeda go to the challenge for the world championship, but they wanted him back. We will see on Saturday if they made the right decision by taking a rematch. If Zepeda loses the fight, the Oscar de la Hoya promoter will regret the rematch.

Andy Cruz: Keyshawn Davis “He doesn’t want to fight anyone who can fight” – accuses the master of WBO of avoiding the highest competition

Image: Andy Cruz: Keyshawn Davis 'Doesn't Want to Fight Anyone Who Can Fight' - Accuses WBO Champ of Avoiding Top Competition

Andy Cruz showed his reluctance to the terrifying way of “businessman” Keyshawn Davis deals with his career, telling his followers on X that the WBO Lightweight champion is not willing “Fight with anyone who can fight.”

Keyshawn is well maneuvered by his promoters in the highest rank because they want him to become a star, and if they put it in with Andy Cruz, he probably lost and wasted their investment. When he was with them, they did a good job from Edgar Berlang. The same with Shakur.

Tactics “scares”

#1 WBC 135-LB Cruz Cruz learns how hard it is to get the best fighters in a lightweight division to fight it. He was not lucky, encouraging his former enemy Keyshawna to fight him.

The last five opponents of Keyshawn

– Denyks Berinchyk
– Gustavo Lemos
– Miguel Madueno
– Jose Pedraza
– Nahir Albright

Cuban talent beat Keyshawna four times in amateurs and taught him in the Olympic finals in 2020 to capture the gold medal. Usually, fighters who leave the Olympic Games are ready to avenge their losses, but Keyshawn is an exception. He accepts the businessman’s approach to his career, carefully choosing the opposition and guided by warriors that pose a threat.

The Olympic gold medalist in 2020 Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) calls Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO), trying to force him to agree with him, but he is not interested. He would prefer to face less threats, such as Denys Berinchyk and Gustavo Lemos.

Davis recently said that he was going to fight Andy Cruz before he reaches up to 140, but it doesn’t seem. Virfolk, Virginia Keyshawn, can remain one or two fights in it before he is forced to move to 140 due to its huge size.

Weight and wait

He looked like one of the zombies from maintaining weight during the last fight with the lightweight champion WBO Denys Berinchyk on February 14. After the hydration, he looked like average weight and crushed a much smaller Berinchyk in four rounds of its size more than anything else.

If one of those days Andy Cruz intends to fight Keyshawn, it will have to happen at 140 or more likely 147, because he will not face him at the age of 135.
