Brian Norman Sr. He says that he does not understand why the promoter Eddie Hearn is strongly pushing the unification between his son, welterweight master, Norman Jr., and Jaron “Boots” Ennis before their June 19 before Jin Sasaki.
Norman Sr. He believes that Hearn is trying to “murder water” and “erase” his name. He suspects that Hearn will close another fight with someone else.
“You hear the dates he said.” October, November, December. ” You can negotiate the fight [those months] in June. You can do it. June 19 is our fight. The next week we can start negotiations – said Brian Norman Sr. Millcity boxing About the fact that they could negotiate the fight with Jaron “Boots” Ennis by one of the three months, which the promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned today in an interview.
Norman Sr. He can’t see that Hearn closes his son in a contract with Boots Ennis getting it at a lower price than if he waited until the fight against Jin Sasaki. If Norman Jr. He will destroy him on June 19 in Tokyo, his popularity will pass through the roof.
Its value will shoot and Hearn must submit a much larger offer. He won’t do it because it would require investment. If Norman Jr. Ask for $ 4 million, will Hearn be ready to invest? I doubt. So Ennis might as well get up if Hearn does not want to imitate John D. Rockefeller and invest in his warrior.
Suspicion of Norman Sr.
“I’m confused [Hearn] Placing it here at the moment. I don’t know – said Norman Sr. Asked if he thinks that Hearn and Ennis will decide to fight someone else, not Brian Jr. “We asked to fight after our fight [Jin Sasaki]. “
Hearn has to do this. When his shoes pushed him to fight for unification, Hearn had to show that he tried to fight one available champion. However, Norman Sr. He will not negotiate with him only after the Sasaki fight. Hearn doesn’t want to wait. He now wants to negotiate, while the value of Norman JR is still low. He is like a supply. If he destroys Sasaki, his herds will escalate and Hearn will not be able to afford it. I mean that he can afford Norman Jr. if he was ready to invest, but probably not. It will be too tight.
“Here, four weeks before our fight. The fight is offered. We said:” Yes “. They said: “Okay, let’s sign a contract.” We said: “No. It’s a bad omen.
Why rush?
It’s not just a bad omen. It would be stupid to sign a contract for the fight for shoes before Norman Jr. He fought with Sasaki. The way Hearn teases you, you can see what his game is. He knows that his value will escalate.
“What if we win [against Sasaki] And the highest rank returns and we get what we want-a handling. We do it in a better place for better money. The question is: “Are we ready to fight?” The answer is yes, yes. He is next. He [Ennis] The next one did not call us. You can’t find an interview in which he said he wants to fight me like that – said Norman Sr.
Surname of a garbage claim
“Because he wants to change water and force our name as much as possible,” said Norman Sr. About Hearn, speaking in an interview that he offered a contract to the Norman team Jr. And this was refused. Some of me think that they will pull out some bulls and close in the next fight and say that we were not willing to fight. But we have already said that we are ready to fight and now we are talking. “
Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.
The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.
It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.
Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.
“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.
“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.
“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”
While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
