Eddie Hearn says he wanted to “lock“WBO Master of welterweight, Brian Norman Jr. In the unification agreement at the moment to clash with IBF and WBO Champ Jaron” Boots “Ennis, but Normana Jr. He told him that they wanted to wait for Jin Sasaki in June.

Hearn says that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) can face Teofimo Lopez because Turks Alalshikh wants her to fight so. He says WBA obligatory Shakhram Giyasov “It’s not a fight we really want“For Ennis. Hearn suggests that they will organize a contract for Giyasov, to go aside, so that Ennis can fight Norman Jr. or, more likely, Teofimo then.

The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, states that Boots only want “belts and union”. Defense defense is not what he wants. He does not say whether Ennis will continue to take steps with Giyasov or other obligatory pretenders who pop up until he reaches the purpose of being the undisputed champion at the age of 147.

ENNIS probably do to accelerate the process of non -questioning immediately or suffering losses along the way. If the master can escape from extreme unsafe contenders, this is a great way to avoid beating and rapidly capturing belts against tender masters. However, this is a bad precedent when the masters can do it because it is not sporty.

“Blocking” discount?

“He is [Brian Norman Jr.] Absolutely available now. We submitted them to the offer last week. And we even said to them: “If you take this fight [Jin Sasaki]IN Let’s close the fight After that, October, November, December, whenever, “said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About how he recently tried to configure the union between his warrior Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Brian Norman Jr.

“And they [Team Norman Jr.] He returned and said: “We don’t want to talk about any other fight until we fight.” So I don’t know. We cannot rely on Brian Norman Jr., who chased any size because the purse is outraged in terms of what he created. This is a huge purse in terms of what we offered him, “said Hearn.

Why Norman Jr. would like to negotiate the fight against Boots Ennis before the fight against Jin Sasaki on June 19 in Tokyo, Japan? The value of Norman JR may raise rapidly after this fight if it looked spectacular against Sasaki, and then he would be worth a lot more money in the fight against Ennis. That Hearn would try to quickly negotiate a contract with Norman Jr. To get low-cost, before its value increases. This is the crafty move of Hearna. Norman Jr. He doesn’t fall in love with this. They were not born yesterday and they know what this game is about.

“We don’t want to fight”

“We have mandatory Shakhram Giyasov [for Boots Ennis’ WBA title]IN which is not really the fight we wantBut we understand his position. He moved to the side to let [Eimantas] Stanionis is fighting, and then the second fight is Teofimo Lopez, and his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] It seems that we want us to take – said Hearn.

As you can see here, Hearn already says that Giyasov will be avoided so that the shoes can take another fight. If he does not want to defend against his mandatory contenders, he must leave or deprive himself of his WBA or IBF title, if he also begins to avoid defense against their mandatory pretenders. I know Ennis wants a surface trick After capturing the undisputed at 147, but what is the achievement if you avoided fighting the obligatory pretenders on the whole road? This is one of the problems that are bad in boxing.

When popular masters win titles, they twist their main competitions, looking for defense against their obligatory pretenders. One example was Canelo Alvarez, who did not defend against David Benavidez when he was his mandatory WBC for two years. This happens with Ennis shoes, avoiding the mandatory WBA Giyasov.

“Teo called it. I love the fight in terms of our skills, our chances of winning this fight. I think it’s a good fight profile,” said Hearn. “Jaron is very clear in terms of what he wants. Belts, union and unquestioned. So when I talk to him about Teo’s fight, it’s a bit like: “Yes, I don’t mind, but what about the titles?”

It doesn’t matter what shoes want. He has mandatory duties if he wants to keep his titles. You don’t win them without having to defend the titles by choosing a fight with anyone you want. Hearn suggests that Ennis will twist his mandatory WBA Giyasova and will either fight at the business level with a smaller, player with a low Teofimo exit, or less likely, fight union against Norman Jr. Giyasov for the second time in a row after he was defeated with the Stanionis unification clash.

Paying to avoid competition

“So if we can’t get the title and If there is a way to deal with Shakhram Giyasov, Regardless of whether in the meantime or anything else, we are open to the fight of Teofimo Lopez. I think it’s a great fight and respect for Teo, if he wants to jump and take it, “said Hearn.

Ennis should fight his obligatory pretenders. What is the master that he bypasses his mandatory duties and only fights with great money with such as Teofimo or united matches? Jaron wants to become the undisputed champion in the age of 147; He should deal with his obligatory pretenders, like any other master, and not have special treatment to twist them to facilitate work.

If Ennis already does this in welterweight, you can bet that he will do the same at the age of 154 if he gets one of the titles. Theoretically, the shoes could twist the ranking of younger killers in medium weight, such as Vergil Ortiz Jr., Israil Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk, if he manages to capture one of the titles aged 154.

Just Pay them a step away from each other forever. It shows what a warrior can do after supporting a lot of money. When they win the title of world champion, they can twist any of the unsafe compulsory rivals to choose and choose various warriors or masters they want to fight. It’s anti -porting. Imagine for a second what the NBA or NFL team could do if they could pay the main competition to go aside so that they could exploit effortless games. What would leagues be?

“He is [Giyasov] He is our warrior. He is our friend. One thing that we will not do is to be wise and release people, “said Hearn, when Mannix said that Giyasov had already made a favor, pushing to the side to allow him to be able to face the WBA Stanionis master in unification, and not insisting. [Note: Hearn hinting about another step aside deal for Giyasov]. “

Here you go. Hearn suggests a great time that he intends to offer a unsafe Giyasova the next step to the side to get him out of the way so that Ennis shoes can either fight the match of union with Norman Jr., and more likely, a lucrative start with Teofimo Lopez, who says that Turki wants. Giyasov is a more risky version of Karen Chukhadzhian and everything is fine for Ennis, which is struggling with highly qualified Eastern European warriors.

Tank Davis is eyeing a rematch with Isaac Cruz after a tough fight in 2021

Fighters like Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason, William Zepeda and Floyd Schofield represent the direction many expected from Davis, making the return to Cruz a remarkable step, even if the first fight remains the one fans remember.

The fight is being discussed in the 140-pound weight class. Their first meeting took place at lightweight in December 2021 and ended in a unanimous decision for Davis after twelve rounds.

Cruz’s pressure forced Davis (30-1, 28 KO) in a cautious fight rather than the knockout victories that marked much of his career. Davis injured his left hand early in the fight and relied heavily on movement, defense and counters with his right hand while Cruz continued to press forward and raise the volume of his throws.

The judges scored the fight 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 for Davis. Cruz’s pressure kept the contest close and led to a physical twelve-round battle that looked different than many of Davis’ other victories.

Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KO) continued to build his record after this fight, and his victories put him near the top of the division. His aggressive style and willingness to constantly push forward made it the first fight that fans still bring up when discussing Davis’ toughest fights.

Davis most recently fought to a twelve-round draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025 and has been inactive since that fight. A second fight with Cruz would mark a return to a fight that continues to attract attention whenever we analyze Davis’ career.

A novel element is the weight class. Discussions about a rematch point to a fight at 140 pounds, rather than the lightweight limit where they first met.

Keyshawn Davis Claims He’s ‘Increasing Weight For Championship Fight’

Keyshawn Davis says he is ‘moving up in weight for championship fight’

Keyshawn Davis has been linked to a move up to welterweight in recent weeks, and it appears “The Businessman” will be making the jump soon, with the “championship fight” date reportedly set at 147 pounds.

Davis was stripped of his WBO lightweight title when he missed weight last June for his scheduled first defense against Edwin De Los Santos. He then moved up to super lightweight and knocked out Jamaine Ortiz in the final round of their fight on the Teofimo Lopez vs. card. Shakur Stevenson.

In the wake of that victory, the Norfolk-born superstar called for a fight against current WBO welterweight world champion Devin Haney, who originally agreed to the fight before negotiations stalled.

As a result, it looked like Davis might stay at 140 pounds, but in… interview for FightHubThe 27-year-old revealed that he has a date for a “championship fight” in preparation for his 147-pound debut.

“I definitely got a response [from the people I called out] and I definitely have a date too. I’m telling you all this now and I’ll definitely be back sooner than you all think. That’s why you saw me playing politics in the gym.

“It’s political, but I’m really staying pointed. Don’t fuck up, I’m staying astute. There’s something coming.”

“I think I’m moving up [to 147lbs]. Yes, [for a championship fight]”

Haney seemed to be close to securing a unification fight with WBA champion Rolando Romero Lewis Crocker (IBF) postponed his match with Liam Paro due to injuryand Ryan Garcia (WBC) is looking elsewhere. It’s unclear where Davis fits.

The comment came as Rolly, 30, was discussing Haney and the possibility of the two 147-pound champions meeting in the ring.

Haney responded on social media today after comments that went viral, rejecting Romero’s argument and saying that results involving other fighters do not determine the outcome of a future fight.

“Triangle theories don’t work in boxing,” Haney said on Program X. “Rolly will be strengthened by me.”

Former undisputed lightweight champion Haney then further mocked that logic by listing a string of results involving several fighters.

“Rolly was shaped by Barroso, Barroso was shaped by O’Hara Davies, Davies was shaped by Josh Taylor, Taylor was shaped by Teo, Teo was shaped by Kambosos, it all leads back to ME,” Haney said.

The exchange of words takes place as both fighters continue to discuss a possible unification fight in the welterweight division. Rolly holds the WBA title and Haney holds the WBO belt, creating the potential for a two-belt fight if negotiations are completed.

There have been discussions about rescheduling the fight between both champions for later this year, although neither side has confirmed that a deal has been finalized.

Devin will likely enter the fight as the clear favorite against Rolly (17-2, 13 KO), who moved up to welterweight after competing at a lighter weight earlier in his career.

Romero defeated Ryan Garcia via 12-round unanimous decision on May 2, 2025, which increased attention on potential welterweight fights. The fight took place in Recent York and was one of the biggest victories in Romero’s career.

He hasn’t fought since that victory, analyzing possible high-profile fights.

One issue with Romero’s schedule is his tardy mandatory defense against Shakhram Giyasov. The Uzbek contender has been a top contender for the WBA title for a long time, but a title fight has not been ordered or finalized yet.

It is unclear whether the WBA will allow Romero to directly enter a unification fight with Haney without meeting Giyasov first. Sanctioning bodies sometimes allow champions to postpone mandatory defenses before unification fights, although no decision has been announced.

Negotiations between Haney and Romero are still ongoing.
