Brian Norman Sr. Trashed Jaron “Boots” Ennis for not fighting any massive fights during his career in 35 fights. He indicates that his son, a welterweight master, Brian Norman Jr., intends to have his first great fight with Devin Haney on November 22.

No great ennis fights

24-year-old Norman Jr. It is four years younger than 28-year-old Ennis shoes and is already exceeding it. He considers it a lack of ambition for his part.

“I want to fight all names. Teofimo? I will fight him,” said coach Brian Norman Sr. Millcity boxingSpeaking of Jaron “Boots” Ennis. “He wants to fight all the great names, but he still didn’t fight with a massive name. We’re fighting for a massive name soon [Devin Haney] Before he fought for a massive name and had 35 fights. “

Norman Jr. He notices the same in shoes that many fans have. He does not take great fights that are offered to him, and invents excuses. He did not want to stay in 147 to fight Norman Jr. He could sweeten with some of his own money when his promoter, Eddie Hearn, did not want to boost the offer from $ 1.7 million to $ 2.2 million to get the fight Norman Jr. United in 2024. Now Ennis is moving to 154, and has already rejected the fighting with Teofimo Lopez and Vergil. Undertakes to do so. Tuned fights.

“He is 28 years antique. We signed up for our third fight this year and he fought only one. He did not want to wait for someone and is still waiting,” said Norman Sr. About Ennis shoes. “What are you waiting for? They have to find a way to turn him off because he won’t say anything. [Ennis] He doesn’t say much, but when he does this, it’s inconsistent. “

Money changed Ennis’s “shoes”?

Ennis shoes initially seemed ambitious in his career, wanting to achieve a lot. Something has changed in it. He rejects fights to the left and right, and now he fights as often as he should. Can it be the money he earned? Ennis is now a millionaire, set for life and can no longer feel the same hunger he once had before he became wealthy.

“We’ll finish it soon,” said Sr. About Devin Haney. “They [Team Haney] I am looking for [to get out of the fight]. Do not give them a reason – said Norman Sr. About VADA tests.

It’s good that Norman Jr. He realized that he had to follow Bill and Devin to start VADA tests. They could not afford the risk of using them as an excuse to withdraw from the fight. Many fans believe that Haney never wanted this fight, and they are looking for any reason to get out of it.

“Although we haven’t got money yet for Devin Haney, $ 1.7 [million] It sounds so low now, “said Sr. Norman, comparing the offer, which was awarded to promoter Boots Ennis, Eddie Hearn, for unification last year.

Norman Jr. He must win this fight with Haney and look good if he wants to get nice payments in seasonal events in Riyadh. If Brian Jr. It looks sensational in victory, he will probably be invited to other Turki Alalahikh events. He needs victory over Haney over Haney.

“When I hear 1.7, I just laugh. Now, in my opinion, it should be much more than 1.7. [Boots Ennis] He was worth over $ 1.7 million, “said Norman Sr.

It would be engaging to know how much Norman Jr. He receives remuneration for the title defense against Haney on November 22. To Brian Sr. Say as he is, it sounds as if he got a huge purse much above the offer submitted last year.

Lowball Ennis Hearn offer

It is challenging to believe now that Hearn has only offered a welterweight master of Bian Norman Jr. $ 1.7 million for unification with Ennis shoes. He would not raise the offer to $ 2.2 million, which showed how little interest this fight had. Hearna’s pockets are not as deep as Alalshikh Turks.

It is surprising, however, that Hearn does not want to invest in shoes to make him a more popular warrior. He needed this unification fight because he lacks charisma to sell his fights outside the ring with his personality like some fighters.

Mike Tyson lists who was better between Mayweather and Pacquiao in their prime

Mike Tyson names who was better between Mayweather and Pacquiao in their primes

Mike Tyson has shared his verdict on who he ranks higher between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are considered two of the greatest boxing legends in recent history, and their success led to a battle between them at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in May 2015.

It was Mayweather who won by unanimous decision, but now, more than a decade later, they will meet again for a second time while fighting at The Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19.

Mayweather is now 49 and Pacquiao is 47, both men are well past their prime, and there is often debate among boxing fans as to which man was better than the other during the best years of their careers.

Mayweather retired with a perfect 50-0 record, defeating the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez, while Pacquiao is the only eight-division boxing world champion in history to boast victories over the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez and Miguel Cotto.

Heavyweight icon Tyson once expressed his own opinion on who was the better of the two, ace revealed that he thinks Pacquiao has achieved more.

“Pacquiao is better than Floyd. He overcame adversity. He got knocked out, came back and had some sensational fights against opponents that outperformed any opponent Floyd had fought.”

Before Mayweather faces Pacquiao in a rematch, he is actually scheduled to face Tyson himself, and an event between the pair will take place soon, although it appears it will not take place on the originally announced April 25 date.

Dmitry Bivol is targeting a fight with Canelo Alvarez or David Benavidez

Undisputed lithe heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol could pursue a rematch with Canelo Alvarez or a fight with David Benavidez once he finishes his current duties in the division.

Bivol’s manager, Vadim Kornilov, outlined the champion’s preferred path in comments provided by Dan Rafael, explaining that Bivol intends to first pursue a mandatory IBF defense and then return to competing with Artur Beterbiev.


He is expected to have a mandatory defense against Michael Eifert this spring. The fight was scheduled for May 23 at a gala headlined by unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

After fulfilling this obligation, Bivol’s team wants to immediately start the third fight with Beterbiev. Their rivalry produced two closely watched fights, leaving unfinished business between two fighters who have dominated the lithe heavyweight division for the past several years and built one of the most respected rivalries in the sport.

More intriguing possibilities emerge after this trilogy. Rafael reported that Bivola’s camp sees a second fight with Canelo as one of the main options still available to the champion. Bivol defeated Alvarez by unanimous decision in 2022, handing the Mexican star one of the clearest defeats of his career.

Another potential opponent in question is Benavidez, who has moved up to lithe heavyweight and has been seeking a chance to fight the top fighters in the division. The fight between Bivol and Benavidez will pit the undefeated Mexican-American challenger against a champion who currently holds four major division titles.

Kornilov also suggested that Bivol could eventually prove himself at cruiserweight, although such an idea appears to be more of a long-term possibility than an immediate plan for the undefeated champion.

For now, the plan of action remains straightforward: fulfill the IBF mandate against Eifert, complete the trilogy with Beterbiev, and then fight one of the most crucial fights that could decide the final stage of Bivol’s career.

Jai Opetaia undisputed dream still alive as IBF release new statement on title status

A fresh twist has been revealed in the story of Jai Opetai and the IBF cruiserweight title.

Nevertheless, Opetaia continued his fight and declared a unanimous decision victory over Glanton extend their undefeated record to 30-0.

“Jai Opetaia made comments during the post-fight press conference that led the organization’s leadership to question whether his advisors fully and fully made him aware of the decisions he had to make in deciding to fight Brandon Glanton. The organization intends to take a closer look at this matter.”

The statement also included a mighty response to claims that they had decided not to sanction the fight due to feelings of “disrespect” in the run-up to the fight.

“The IBF categorically denies any suggestion or claim that it deliberately withdrew sanctions to cause harm. The IBF sanctioned the Opetaia vs. Glanton fight in good faith, expecting what was assured to happen.”

“The press conference held on March 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, made it clear that the inaugural Zuffa World Cruiserweight Championship would be held on March 8.

“The IBF, as previously stated on March 6, reserves the right to sanction title fights along with other sanctioning bodies that adhere to the same regulations that the IBF follows, and reserves the right to sanction title fights along with other fights that prepare the IBF cruiserweight title remains a subject of discussion.”

The final outcome as to whether Opetaia will indeed retain her title will be revealed in due course.
