Floyd Schofield Sr. He started to social media to explain why his son did not accept the agreement with Abdullah Mason. Papa Schofield claims that they received a 5-year contract worth $ 5 million from Golden Boy. He states that the choice consisted of agreeing $ 1 million for Mason’s fight, or take a 5-year contract from Golden Boy. They went with the latter.

$ 5 million Golden Boy Deal

“I thought I would ask about the fight for children-maason. Number 1, we want to fight [Abdullah] Mason anyway, we will fight Mason, according to Golden Boy and them “, Floyd Schofield Senior Warrior. “But Golden Boy has other plans. Mason offered us a million dollars. Their team offered us a million dollars to fight, but Golden Boy offered us a five -year offer for $ 5 million.”

I wonder if the manager Schofield recommended not to take this contract? He could probably get a much larger offer if he fought Mason and defeated him.

“Guaranteed five years of employment. We guarantee that we will soon fight for the title. What would you choose? Greg Hackett said:” You lifted $ 2.5 [million]. ‘No, because I had $ 5 million on the table, and the team that offers it says: “No.” So I had a choice. Are we going on this side for $ 1 million or are we going on this side for $ 5 million? “

This suggests that Schofield Sr. He did not trust his son’s ability to defeat Abdullah Mason. Signing a long -term contract with a golden boy for this amount is a red flag that was not faith. If you think he can win, you let him take this fight, because defeating Mason would send Schofield’s supplies through the roof.

“ThE $ 5 million is just a minimum. That’s not even all. So you can believe what you want, “said Schofield Sr. with a 5-year Golden Boy agreement on Floyd SR.” I don’t like to put business there, but I thought I cleaned the rumors. Nobody is afraid of Mason. We are eagerly waiting for the fight against the Mason. We shared the rings with him. “

Breaking the contract

Let’s break this offer. If you think Schofield will fight three times a year, he only earns 333 thousand. USD for fighting. This is not a good opportunity. Floyd Sr. It would be better to take part in a transaction worth $ 1 million for the fight of Abdullah Mason, because his value would augment if he won. Of course, if Papa Schofield did not believe that his son could overcome Mason, he made sense why he rejected the offer.

“Our next opponent is good in June. This is a test. I can’t say who it is, but this is a good fight here. Freshly from the bench. This is our first fight since November. If this is not a step forward, I don’t know what to say.

Fans don’t expect much from Golden Boy to Schofield. After Floyd Jr. He performed in his last fight with Rene Tellez Giron in November last year, Golden Boy does not intend to put Schofield with anyone with a pulse. The icing on the cake was his withdrawal in the last second with a mysterious disease of fighting with the lightweight champion WBC Shakur Stevenson in February last year.

“Haters are still hate. I love it. And we have Schofield. Oh, it’s amazing. It’s so humorous,” said Floyd Ser.

"Sebastian Fundora vs Ermal Hadribeaj Live Results and Fight Updates"

Sebastian Fundora (25-1-1, 17 KOs) stopped Ermal Hadribeaj (23-1-1, 8 KOs) at 2:59 of the 12th round to retain his WBC junior middleweight title for the fourth time. Hadribeaj made the early rounds competitive by getting low, forcing his way inside and landing hard shots while denying the champion room to use his reach.

Short punches, uppercuts and a sustained body attack helped Fundora take control as he began outworking the challenger at close range. Referee Thomas Taylor deducted points from Hadribeaj for holding in the third and 11th rounds as the challenger increasingly tried to tie up the busier champion.

With just one second remaining, a left hand dropped Hadribeaj and brought the fight to an end after Fundora’s pressure and body punching had worn him down.

Super middleweight Armando Resendiz (17-3, 11 KOs) defeated Koen Mazoudier (16-5-1, 6 KOs) by a 10-round unanimous decision in a hard-fought fight. The judges scored it 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93, giving Resendiz a wider victory than the competitive action suggested.

Mazoudier kept coming forward and throwing, making Resendiz work at close range and enjoying success through the middle rounds. Resendiz answered with the heavier punches, hurting the Australian with right hands and left hooks as the two traded throughout.

A sustained attack in the final round left Mazoudier reeling and close to being stopped, but he survived and continued firing back until the bell. Resendiz earned his first victory since losing to Jaime Munguia, while Mazoudier made him fight for it in his U.S. debut.

Marco Romero (16-0, 14 KOs) stopped Braulio Matias Ferreira (8-4, 3 KOs) in the first round of their scheduled eight-round super middleweight fight. The 20-year-old Romero immediately pressed the attack, digging to the body and landing right hands upstairs at close range.

A right hand and left hook to the body helped set up a sweeping right to the chin that dropped Ferreira hard into the ropes. Ferreira beat the count, but he was in no condition to continue, prompting the referee to stop the fight. Romero gave the veteran little chance to settle, keeping him under attack throughout the brief contest. It was the Kansas prospect’s third consecutive first-round stoppage.

Super middleweight Jaime Enrique Osuna Diaz (12-0, 5 KOs) kept his unbeaten record with an eight-round majority decision over Cristian Cangelosi (13-1-1, 5 KOs). The judges scored the competitive bout 77-75, 77-75 and 76-76 on the Sebastian Fundora–Ermal Hadribeaj undercard.

Osuna applied pressure from the start, using his activity and body punching to make Cangelosi work. His best round came in the fifth, when he hurt Cangelosi twice with straight right hands but crowded his own punches while trying to finish.

Cangelosi fought back and had a strong seventh round, landing a big shot to keep the outcome in doubt heading into the eighth. Neither fighter scored a knockdown, with Osuna’s pressure and cleaner work in key stretches earning him the narrow victory.

Tony Bellew Analyzes Daniel Dubois' Knockout Victory Over Fabio Wardley in Rematch

Daniel Dubois sent out a big statement to the rest of the heavyweight division after his knockout win over Fabio Wardley.

The two British heavyweights met at The O2 Arena on Saturday in one of the most anticipated rematches of the year, following on from their epic first battle back in May.

On that occasion, ‘DDD’ had to recover from two early knockdowns to earn the 11th round TKO win to become WBO heavyweight champion, but it was a much more dominant display from Dubois this time around.

The rematch saw ‘DDD’ drop Wardley inside the opening 20 seconds of the bout, before landing even more heavy shots over the next several minutes, forcing the referee to stop the action in the second round as Dubois retained his WBO heavyweight title.

Ahead of the bout, one man that was picking Wardley to cause the upset and be victorious was former WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew, who felt that the Ipswich man was going to get the job done inside six rounds.

Bellew was happy to hold his hands up and admit he was wrong though, as he posted on social media to heap praise on Dubois for his triumph.

“Demolition! Well done to Daniel Dubois.”

Following his win, Dubois has already made it clear who he wants to target next, revealing in his post-fight interview that he wants to meet IBF champion Filip Hrgovic in a unification, in what would be a rematch after ‘DDD’ won their first encounter back in June 2024.

"Daniel Dubois Aims for Title Showdown After Stunning Wardley Knockout"

Daniel Dubois has wasted no time making his intentions known after his destructive win over Fabio Wardley in their rematch.

The pair went head-to-head at The O2 Arena in London, five months on from their first meeting when Dubois defeated Wardley by 11th round TKO to win the WBO heavyweight title.

It was a much quicker win this time around, with ‘DDD’ dropping Wardley inside the opening 20 seconds of the contest, before continuing the onslaught and earning the second round knockout victory to retain his WBO belt.

Dubois has already named his next target after his win, revealing in his post-fight press conference that he now wants a unification showdown with IBF champion Filip Hrgovic.

“I want to have a rematch with him and get that belt. I want to rule the division. Another win and another scalp. I’m the champion now and I want some big fights now.”

Dubois and Hrgovic have already met back in June 2024, claiming the eighth round stoppage win after the Croatian couldn’t continue due to cuts above both of his eyes.

‘DDD’ went on to become IBF champion after that fight, but he would go on to lose that title to Oleksandr Usyk. After the Ukrainian vacated his belt earlier this year, Hrgovic claimed it with his dramatic win over Moses Itauma in August.

It means Dubois and Hrgovic could now meet in a rematch in 2027, though Hrgovic may have to deal with mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez first, with that bout potentially taking place in Croatia early next year.
