Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is not sure whether his warrior, Andy Cruz, will receive an immediate shot from the IBF of lightweight master Raymond Muratall after throwing Hironori Mishiro in the fifth round at the title eliminator IBF 135-Funts last Saturday evening at the theater at the theater in the theater in Madison Square Garden York.
Andy Cruz: An undetermined king, the title was refused?
Yesterday Cruz showed last night that he was an unadged king of a lightweight division. He defeated all the best fighters, Gervont Davis, Abdullah Mason and Shakur Stevenson. Muratalli promoters are in the best rank experts in the detection of talent and will know that Cruz easily defeated him; That is why they will raise their feet in the fight between them.
Like the previous master Keyshawn Davis, Muratalla is sensitive and must be protected against Andy Cruz.
CRUZ (6-0, 3 KO) is a must-be chaPF for the belt. It is believed that the recently arranged by IBF Muratalla (23-0, 17 KO) has from 9 to 12 months before he has to defend against Cruz.
IBF will decide how quickly the fight will be ordered, but they will probably give Muratalla a lot of time for voluntary defense to earn some money in an effortless fight before he is dealing with the task of defending Cruz.
If the Olympic gold medalist 2020 Andy Cruz were popular and it was a certain victory for Muratalla, the highest rank would probably immediately pull the trigger of the fight. It is not. though. Muratalla there is a lack of a well -rounded game have many chances to overcome talent such as Cruz.
Protection of Muratalla against Cruz
Raymond will have Puncher’s chance and all this against Andy. In other words, it will be on the same boat as Hironori Mishiro yesterday. He will have a little more power than Mishiro, but his skills are equally restricted and will be at the grace of Cruz.
The highest rank will know and stop the title defense of Muratalla against Cruz as long as possible. It would not be a surprise if Muratalla squeezes two fights before defending themselves against Cruz. If they manage to unite with one of the masters, they can even get three fights. I sense that there will be desperation from the highest class, knowing that Muratalla has little chance of defeating Cruz.
“It is mandatory now. Of course, Muratalla has been raised. So we have to see what plans he has,” said the promoter Eddie Hearn from Press conference after the fightWhen asked about Andy Cruz, potentially challenging to be a title against Master IBF Lightweight Raymond Muratalla.
Hearn shows his naivety here. The highest rank will delay the title defense of Muratalla before Andy Cruz as long as possible, hoping that he will give up and leave from taking this fight. If they can keep it long enough, Cruz can opt for a different belt or warrior. I can read the highest rank like a book. They will be a classic work because they know that Muratalla cannot defeat Cruza and will look like Mishiro and Omar Salcido when they were learning Cuban talent.
12-month Muratalla window
“I don’t believe he [Muratalla] He has a closed date, but they can give him a period in which he allowed him to be voluntary, “said Hearn.” One of the reasons why we wanted to take this opportunity is that IBF will follow their rules, and this is very essential for us when it comes to Andy Cruz. “
The period when Muratalla will probably be given from 9 to 12 months. So the highest rank will decide on a full 12-month time to give them a warrior a chance to milk his title two to three times.
“If it were mandatory for another management body, we understand that sometimes the rules are not as solid as IBF. So, Muratalla, we think he should immediately fight his mandatory pretender and we would like it if it was ordered.
“If he has a defense, it will be one defense, and then we will fight in the meantime. But you know that it is inevitable with these guys, and this was one of the attractions of the fight against the latter eliminator,” said Hearn.
Many boxing fans consider Muhammad Ali the greatest of all time, but he once revealed his own choice.
Ali’s notable achievements include winning the world heavyweight title three times while talking about the greatest fights in history, including “Rumble In The Jungle” against George Foreman and “Thrilla In Manila” against Joe Frazier.
His final record was 56 wins in 61 fights, also defeating the likes of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton, and also became a cultural icon outside the ring.
These achievements are why many fans consider Ali to be the greatest of all time, but in a renewed interviewthe heavyweight legend once revealed that he chose Sugar Ray Robinson for the honor.
“This man was attractive. The timing, the speed, the reflexes, the rhythm, his body, everything was attractive.
“I’d say I’m the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the best of all time.”
Robinson reigned as the world welterweight champion for five years, from 1946 to 1951, and went on an incredible 91-fight unbeaten streak.
His record at one stage was 129 wins from 132 fights, 85 of which were knockout victories. After reigning at welterweight, he moved up to middleweight, where he became a five-time world champion in that category.
When he finally hung up his gloves in 1965, he finished his career with a record of 174 wins in 201 fights, and it’s clear why Ali considers him the best.
Bradley says Roach’s experience against pressure players and southpaws will give him an advantage on August 1
Tim Bradley thinks Lamont Roach Jr. he is the player best placed to make William Zepeda lose. In a speech on his YouTube channel, Bradley selected Roach as the winner of the vacant WBC lightweight title on August 1 and cited the fight’s stylistic advantages as a key factor.
“I’m picking Roach to win this fight,” Bradley said on his channel. “I think it’s a perfect match in style. I think Roach fights southpaws better than orthodox fighters.”
Roach comes into the fight coming off a draw with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and a contentious draw with Gervonta Davis, as well as two physically demanding fights against high-pressure fighters that Bradley says has prepared him for Zepeda’s relentless approach.
“I think he fought one of the best southpaws in the world in Tank Davis. And he did damn well against him,” Bradley said. “He wasn’t scared by the force of the impact.”
Bradley believes Roach has the tools needed to neutralize Zepeda’s pressure.
“When guys who like to get forward and be aggressive, nine times out of 10 they don’t like being tackled,” Bradley said. “Roach has the ability to do it. He has the knowledge and the IQ to be able to do it. And if he does it, he will win this fight.”
Bradley also cautioned that Roach cannot afford to leave matters in the judges’ hands, arguing that he needs to create more separation than in recent draws with Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis.

Roy Jones Jr has announced his price and is demanding an eight-figure purse if he is to make it through the ropes.
At his peak, the American became one of the best players to ever grace the sport, and his breathtaking speed and overall physical prowess made him seem almost unbeatable.
After winning world titles at middleweight, super middleweight and airy heavyweight, Jones even moved up to heavyweight and dethroned John Ruiz to win the WBA belt in 2003.
The pound-for-pound legend retired in 2018, when many thought his best days were behind him, only to take it to the next level exhibition match with Mike Tyson in 2020
Although it was a non-contest, many believed that Tyson outplayed Jones, who then returned professionally against Anthony Pettis and lost an eight-round decision to the former UFC champion in 2023.
Since then, the 57-year-old has remained on the safer side of the competition, but is now eyeing another comeback, this time against Misfits boxer Tommy Fury.
Having delved into the power side of the sport following previous professional victories over Jake Paul and KSI, Fury is now preparing to face former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall.
I’m talking to Betting showroomJones said he would only be willing to challenge the 27-year-old if he was handsomely rewarded for his troubles.
“Is me vs. Tommy Fury dead? Nothing is dead forever. Roy Jones is still alive. Tommy Fury is still alive. Who knows? For the right money, it would make me go to the gym to get ready.”
“If they give me $10 million of course. Ten and more, yes. If they don’t give me $10 million and more, then no, I’m not wasting my time.”
Fury’s six-round exhibition match with Hall will take place later today at the Manchester Arena, although the result will not affect his professional record of 11-0 (4 KO).
