Shakur Stevenson praises Turks Alalshikh for encouraging fighters to take a career risk, saying that otherwise they can’t earn money.
It’s affluent in Shakur, considering that fans criticized him NO Taking a risk during your career, choosing opponents such as Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Shuichiro Yoshino.
Payday tank Davis in Stevenson
Fans believe that the only reason why Shakur moved to 135 was to get a payment against Gervont Davis. It is not close to its level of popularity and he did not show the desire to fight the popular stars tank, aiming at the killers to get it.
Shakur showed zero interest in risky fighting with these talents:
- Andy Cruz
- Abdullah Mason
- Raymond Muratalla
- Herrera Core
These are four whose Shakur should be forced to overcome to get a golden payday day against Tank Davis, handed over to him. Defeating William Zepeda is almost good enough.
“Turki saves boxing. Not earn money, don’t earn moneyShakur said Warrior.
Shakur adopted a cautious approach through his entire career, choosing safer types, avoiding the predators that defeated him. He looked shy against Edwin de Los Santos, his most arduous career opponent, without engaging, throwing little blows and moving all the time. Shakur has I haven’t fought since then This fight.
The last 2 opponents of Stevenson
– Josh Padley
– Artem Harutyunyan
Stevenson’s decision organized William Zepeda The next July 12 is seen as calculated. Zepeda (33-0.27 KO) is popular and looked like threats in the last two fights with Tevin Farmer. Many boxing fans believe that Zepeda has lost both fights.
Zepeda Shakura test: no run
Stevenson was convinced that if I stopped Zepeda, there would be another great fight against Tank Davis. This can be right, assuming that Turks will decide to finance him. However, Alalshikh’s statement about the lack of a runners’ desire in the Riyadh season may affect Stevenson if he turns to the scared, visually impaired performance against Zepeda.
In order to have a chance that Turki would like to fulfill his wishes to provide him with Golden Tank Davis for him, he must stand in his pocket and defeat Zepeda in the middle of the ring on July 12. Can Shakur do this? It’s great.

Hearn is planning an ennis debut 154-FUNTs from Grateper Fight before attacking Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Published

June 14, 2025
Eddie Hearn says that he wants Jaron “Boots” Ennis to fight the “guard” in his debut in August 154, and then he fought with this champion younger WBC champion, Vergil Ortiz before the end of the year. Hearn will lead this fight next, but he was told that he would not be ready for this date.
154-Funts of Ennis’s plan
Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) will fight next, but it must be someone good enough to prepare him for Vergil. He believes that the shoes will be stronger at the age of 154, because he will not have to put his body through hell to earn weight, as in 147.
“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted guy and it was simply terrifying what this guy will do when he is not exhausted. That’s why I think he made the decision and said:” You have to see the best of me “and time,” said Eddie Hearn for this Fight Hub tv On Jaron’s decision “Boots” Ennis “about the transition to 154.
It was strange to see Ennis Boxing Eimantas Stanionis, and not tardy down, as usual with opponents. It was a clear signal that the shoes were not mighty enough to stand and hit Eimantas after what he had gone to earn a scale in 147.
“I don’t think people will shout to fight him [Ennis] In terms of masters, but now he has built this profile. You saw in the Riyadh season that they were over him to fight there, and we want to do it – said Hearn. “We want to work with its Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]. “
Masters aged 154 will not want to fight Ennis, unless the money is huge because they know that they will have little chance of winning. This would require Turk’s involvement in luring belt owners so that they want to defend themselves against shoes. In addition, Ennis may need to go to a compulsory position to force masters to fight him.
The guard first for Ennis
“We also saw what shoes they build for me in the US, you need this world guard, the five best guys, and certainly the 10 best guys to test water at 154, and then I think we should fight Vergil Ortiz,” said Hearn. “It’s a huge fight. We expect a fight in August.”
If Ennis shoes intend to fight the “guard” at 154 to prepare on Vergil JR, he should focus on the fight against Israil Madrimov or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare it for what Ortiz Jr. intends to bring. Ennis is useless to fight someone in the top 15 because it will not prepare him.
“We actually said in the Riyadh season that we could fight Vergil Ortiz on August 16, but it was not ready or the date did not work. I do not know what it was. I think we will fight in August, and then we are ready for Vergil Ortiz. I think it’s a brilliant fight and I think this is the best fight in the division,” said Hearn.
Ennis vs. Ortiz would potentially be the biggest fight for shoes in the 154 pounds division, but not the most tough. Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fund and Israil Madrimov may be more tough to fight for Ennis than Vergil Jr. Style Vergil Jr. They apply Ennis shoes to order, and he returns for exhausting fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk.
Multi-Division the future of Ennis
“You will see how it dominates in 154, as well as 160 or maybe even 168,” said Hearn about Ennis shoes. “He will be a world champion in three or four resolutions. Wait until you see that Jaron Ennis was fueled and did not have to go through this week of fight. He improved the weight in Stanionis’s fight than in the fight against Chukhadzhian.”
We do not know if the shoes will dominate everyone in the younger medium weight, because he would still have to go through these fighters to do this:
– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Sebastian Fundor
– Tim Tsyzyu
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– likes Erickson
– Israil Madrimov
– Xander Zayas
– Serhia Bohachuk
– Jorge Garcia Perez
– Keith Thurman
“He shrinks and you can’t physically be 100%when you do it in your body. Now it’s time to see the best Jaron Ennis.” We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Daznne. They love this fight. Let’s see what we can do, “said Hearn.
Ennis has looked exhausted at his weighing for the last two years and should have been raised, not to go through torture in a dead division. When Terenka Crawford moved to 154 in 2024, Boots should follow him. He was the only guy in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after losing to Crawford. So it doesn’t make sense that the shoes still run out to make 147 to fight such guys such as Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.

Eddie Hearn declares that Andy Cruz will be the IBF Lightweight champion in the next two matches

Eddie Hearn says that Andy Cruz will be the world champion “in the next two fights” after he defeats Hironori Mishiro tonight in an eliminator with a airy IBF title, and then the master Raymond Muratalla.
The best rank will not be satisfied with Hearna’s forecast that Cruz will dethrone his warrior Muratalla, because he was recently raised to the full status of the master. They hope that Muratalla will have a long rule as an IBF champion, but they did not realize that the Olympic gold medalist 2020 Cruz will be so speedy.
Eliminator of the Cruza title tonight
Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) fights Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in the 12-round main support on the Richardson Hitchins vs. George Cambosos Jr. at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. Today’s event will be broadcast live in Dazn, starting from 19:00 et. Cruz will try to steal the Hitchins program, which is a pure boxer and probably will not step on gas against Cambosos in the main event.
“Andy has the final eliminator this weekend, and then she will be mandatory for Muratalla in the case of a airy IBF title. So Andy will be the world champion in the next two fights,” said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tv About Andy Cruz. “Maybe he feels very comfortable for a moment at the age of 135.”
“Andy Cruz must just win this fight to get a shot at IBF Lightweight.”
Mishiro did not fight in any significant opposition during his career and will take a massive step in the classroom from the fighters with whom he stands in Japan. IBF gave him a ranking #5, which doesn’t make much sense when he looks at his delicate CV.
Cruz and Hearn hoped to fight Keyshawn Davis for his airy WBO title, but last Friday he left the weight and then he was deprived of his belt. Now he revealed that he would fight at 140.

Is “Hit and Don’t Get Get” still profitable? Eddie Hearn discusses Turki Alalshikh’s emphasis on more engaging boxing fights
Published

June 14, 2025
Eddie Hearn answered this week to Turk’s comments Alalshikha about the fact that they no longer want to support fighters who simply run in the ring, without pulling on his seasonal cards in Riyadh.
Hearn partly defended defensive fighters, saying that boxing is “sweet science” “hit-and get hit”. However, Hearn claims that there is a “balance of skills and entertainment,” and the fighters must do it to make them exported.
Hearn on the ban on Turki runners
In the case of Turk’s directive, in order not to include runners in his events, fighters must be ready to risk hitting his cards. Hearn has several runners who are trying to turn into stars, and wants them to be on Turki’s pages. If they cannot meet his requirements, then on them. For those who do not adapt to boxing, they are exhausted.
“You have to do a mixture well. Ultimately, this is a sweet science. Hit and do not go. We understand, but it is also an entertainment business,” said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tvResponding to Alalshikh’s Turks, saying that he no longer wants to fight the type of “Tom and Jerry” on his Riyadh season cards.
Turki explained very much in his position. He wants to engage fighters. There is no mixture, as Hearn says. He wants fighters who placed it on the line. He tries to save boxing and he can’t do it if his cards have fighters who run away all night.
Hearn has several runners that he must remain steadfast, Shakur Stevenson and Richardson Hitchins; That is why he is cautious about what he says and does not quite agree with Turk’s desire to entertain the fighters. He can’t just lose Hitchins and Shakur, but they don’t meet the requirements to be electrifying for fans.
Defense of “Sweet Science” Hearna
“So people do not want to watch, or a very tiny minority of the audience. And they are very well-educated boxing people. They don’t really want to watch the defensive defensive class of a guy winning every round, and he doesn’t really respect himself, showing aggression, trying to end the fight at any time,” Hearn said.
Fans who like to watch movement and the style of impact, prefer these warriors to mix it more. However, they also appreciate this approach. Unfortunately, there are not enough of them to justify having them on the main cards.
Fans will tolerate runners if they are buried in pre -sight pre -sight, outside the mind, but not on the main cards. When fans buy PPV events, they don’t want to watch the runner. Most fans are not muddy. So, when they pay for a boxing card, they spend money that they could employ for other things, such as needs. Hearn has no contact with this type of person.
“It’s very tough. If you have an smart conversation with a warrior. If they know that they can win every round box, I can’t really go, I really can’t go to the warrior and go:” Look, buddy. I know you are a great boxer and I can win every round, but I really need to change your style, stand and trade, “said Hearn.
As a promoter, Hearna’s task is to tell their warriors that they have to change their style if they are uninteresting because they cannot sell. What’s more, it looks bad when fans boom or sit quietly without reacting to running. We all saw Shakur Stevenson’s fights with electrician Josh Padley and Edwin de los Santos. These are uninteresting fights. Hearn must have an “smart conversation” with his warriors if they are not entertaining.
Turk’s vision: End Runners
“They will look at me as if I was furious. But in reality, if you are not entertaining, you will become tough sales. And if you become tough sales, you can start a shortage of possibilities, especially in vast fights,” said Hearn. “And his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] In a sense, put your flag on the sand there and said: “If you don’t have fun, I don’t want you on my programs.”
Hearn must tell his fighters, Shakur Stevenson and Richardson Hitchins. If they want to be included in the Turki cards, they must mix it. He should not take care of whether they look at him, as if he were crazy when he tells them to stop running, standing in his pocket and fought. If they want to get vast bags that Turks pay, they will listen to Hearn and agree.
Hearn should not feel guilty, telling them what they have to do. If they don’t like it, it’s on them. I don’t see Shakur deciding to change his style to become more aggressive. It can’t and not.
Hearna fighters must adapt
Stevenson knows that he is too feeble and penniless offensive to defeat William Zepeda and almost every good lightweight. There is no other choice but to escape. Shakur also has a gigantic ego and will feel that Turki will still want to employ it, even if he threw Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens next month. If Turki decides to exclude him, Hearn will get stuck with him. Shakur will not be joyful fighting to change Chump on smaller programs.
“But everyone is different. You also reach the stage in your career. Floyd [Mayweather Jr] He was a good example. And probably Canelo is now, where if I can have an effortless night and earn a huge amount of money, it is called Great Business, “said Hearn.
Turki is still ready to pay Canelo for his cards, but if he continues to work as he did against William Scull, there would be no shock if he was excluded because he is no longer entertaining. Canelo’s last three fights were uninteresting because he lacked gas after the first quarter of the battle. He didn’t try to play safely. Fortunately, Mayweather is still not fighting because his fights have become incredibly uninteresting when he reached 30 years. He made a minimum to win and pass at the speed of his hand, movement and careful equipping. Ultimately, Floyd chose Cherry all the time and none of his fights was entertaining.
“This does not mean that if I am called to go to the trenches, I am not prepared to go there. Canelo is a great example,” said Hearn. “If he were called, he would go to the trenches against Crawford, he will do it. But I tell you what. He would rather get without a trace on his face and say:” Thank you very much. “
Canelo is elderly and has shown in the last few fights that he can mix it only for three rounds before fatigue. The point is not that he deliberately plays it safely. There is no fuel tank to be challenging to fight for more than three rounds. He doesn’t try to be uninteresting like Richardson Hitchins, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson. He can’t fight challenging because of his age and cardio problems.
“And there is nothing bad about it. It’s an smart business, but it’s good that it is a mixture. After all, Floyd, at his own discretion, robbed the bank every time he fought. He entered there and won each round, he was not hit. Thank you very much. Thank you very much that there must be a mixture. I just don’t think Richardson. [Hitchins] He is a uninteresting warrior at all, “said Hearn.
The price of uninteresting boxing
Hearn sailed away from the original point. It’s about Turks Alalshikh, saying that he doesn’t want safety fighters on his Riyada seasonal cards. Fighters who have uninteresting styles, such as Mayweather Jr., have nothing to do with this era. It is a relic from the time before the Internet. Turki pays checks for fighters and wants artists. If this means hearna warriors, Richardson Hitchins and Shakur Stevenson, they are not invited to his events, so it is. Hearn cannot sell these Turk fighters if he doesn’t want uninteresting fighters at his events.
The sale of tickets for the event on July 12 next month is supposedly feeble, and Shakur is a factor. Why should Turks want a warrior known for his uninteresting style to be on his cards if fans think he is uninteresting and can’t sell tickets? This means that Hearn wasted his money by signing Shakur and since signing it has no value. Once he fought for Hearn against Josh Padley, a tiny warrior without power, not a world -class.
“Is he a boxer champion? Of course. Is he a chance and is exchanged a beard in the air? Not really,” said Hearn.
Hitchins is also known for its uninteresting style and has been booed in recent fights. You would not expect Hearn to talk about it because he promotes Hitchins. He does not intend to criticize him, but his performances are often uninteresting. Hearn chose George Cambosos as his opponent, not pretenders who would potentially beat Hitchins or make him look bad, like Subriel Matias.
