Oscar de la Hoya has published today on social media, pushing Xander Zayas to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. in Las Vegas on Dazn PPV. De la Hoya claims that Zayas should give up his plans for defending his title WBO Junior Medium Libra in Puerto Rico.

“It’s so frustrating. Now boxing is so antiquated, especially here in America. My fighters do not want to fight each other,” said Oscar de la Hoya Instagram. “Xander Zayas is an ideal example.

Oscar request to Zayas

“We have a perfect fight for you on a silver plate. Pay-per-view, let’s do it in Las Vegas on MGM, and you still say that you want to go to Puerto Rico? How? Your promoter? Your promoter? [Top Rank] There is no television. Where are you going to fight? Only the fires? “Said De la Hoya.

It would be a shock if the highest rank were to fight for 22 -year -old Zayas, because they slowly nurtured him, trying to turn him into a star on the east coast.

His last fight with Jorge Garcia Perez for the free WBO Junior Medium Libra title showed that he is unable to fight in his pocket. Xander’s style is identical to Devin Haney, but with great commitment.

Zayas would be crossed against Vergil Ortiz Jr, as it would be if Bakhram Murtazaliev, Israil Madrimov, Jaron Ennis, Sebastian Fund, Yoenis Tellez, Serhii Bohachuk or Erickson Lubin fought.

Why the highest rank does not risk Zayas

If the highest rank intends to throw 22-year-old Xander in a fight, which he cannot win, it will only be such that they can get a huge return on investment. Vergil Ortiz Jr. It is not a substantial enough fight for this to happen, unless Alalshikh Turks were involved. But why would he have? This is not a substantial enough fight, because Zayas is not popular and has this ugly style of struggle in the style of Haney.

“Dude, we have Dazna. We have PPV. We have a date. You and Vergil, Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. It’s huge. What are you waiting for? Let’s do it,” said De la Hoya, still trying to lure Xander in the fight against Ortiz Jr.

It’s useless, Oscar. Zayas will fight with who will choose the highest position for him in his first defense of his WBO 154-LB title in December. It is already said that this person is a welterweight Giovani Santillan. He has a CD, which at first glance looks good at 34-1, but is harmless. Xander easily passed him in his return to defense at the end of the year in Puerto Rico.

“In this era I can’t wait until it ends. Only fighters who do not want to fight and are literally p *****, man. They want to do it for additional millions and that and that and that. He said de la Hoya.

De la Hoya is aiming at the correction of Droid

This is a lost cause of de la Hoya. He follows the wrong droid. What he needs is to aim in more achievable opponents, so that Vergil Jr. He defended his transient WBC 154-LB title. These are more realistic options for ORTIZ JR.

Discussing the situation, Simon Jordan questioned whether White’s involvement would actually facilitate get the team over the line.

“Do we think Dana flapping his gums will facilitate in the fight that still seems to be a bit up in the air?” Jordan said on talkSPORT Boxing, debating Fury’s future and the growing influence of Zuffa Boxing.

The broadcaster suggested that the situation is becoming more complicated due to the various parties already involved in the fight, including Riyadh Season, Queensberry and TKO.

Jordan believes the biggest concern is not whether Fury and Joshua want the fight, but whether the business interests surrounding it could delay or derail progress.

“I worry that politics will get in the way of this fight,” Simon said.

Despite concerns that Fury could walk away from longtime promoter Frank Warren, Jordan argued that existing contractual and commercial arrangements could make a neat break impossible.

He suggested that Queensberry could still remain involved behind the scenes, especially if Fury takes a booster fight ahead of his fight with Joshua.

Other panelists asked questions about how the move to Zuffa might impact existing contracts and where the fight will ultimately take place. There has already been speculation that the Fury-Joshua fight could be staged outside the UK, despite previous suggestions that Wembley Stadium would be the preferred destination.

Although Jordan was aware of the growing uncertainty, he did not predict that the fight would end in a fiasco.

“There is too much money in this fight for this not to happen,” Jordan said.

Fury is expected to return for a warm-up at the end of the summer before taking on the fight against Joshua that remains one of the biggest attractions in world boxing.

Terence Crawford sums up Jaron Ennis’ chance of becoming undisputed at super-welterweight

Jaron Ennis is scheduled to challenge for the unified super welterweight world title this month in hopes of starting an undisputed title run, and Terence Crawford shared whether he believes “Boots” can win all four belts at 154 pounds.

Ennis won both the IBF and WBA welterweight world titles previously held by Crawford, and in October he moved to the super welterweight scene, where He stopped Uisma Lima in the first round announce himself as a threat to the throne.

Now, in his second fight at the weight, Ennis is set to collide with unified WBA and WBO world champion Xander Zayas, and Crawford told Jai McAllister he expects his US compatriot to emerge victorious.

“Man, it’s a tough fight, especially for Xander at this point in his career, but it shows his heart and self-belief. He’s ready to make history for his country and he’ll do really well in this fight.”

“I just think it’s a little too early for him at the moment.”

If Ennis is able to hand Zayas his first career defeat and claim the unified titles, fellow champions Josh Kelly (IBF) and Sebastian Fundora (WBC) will be his next obstacles.

Crawford believes the road to undisputed “Boots” status will likely end with Fundora.

Zayas-Ennis will take place on Saturday, June 27 at the Barclays Center in Modern York. Fundora is coming off a stoppage win over Keith Thurman and is set to make another defense later this year, though no opponent has been named as of this writing.

Kelly is expected to make his first defense of the IBF belt against Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko following the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga card on July 25.

“I mean, he didn’t limit himself to that. I mean, in training camp, training camp was ultimately garbage,” Spence said on Andre Ward’s channel.

He then revealed that he hadn’t sparred for a long time before the fight.

“Ask anyone who was in Vegas at this gym. They didn’t see me sparring. Nobody saw me sparring. Honey, two weeks off, two, three weeks off, I haven’t trained for six weeks off, brother,” Errol said.

Spence also revealed that he was struggling with an injury during camp.

“I had to get a cortisone shot in my ribs because my ribs were hurting,” Spence said.

The comments sparked a backlash on social media, with some accusing Spence of making excuses for the July 2023 loss. The 35-year-old later directly addressed the criticism.

Spence continued by explaining that there were tactical areas that had not been addressed in the build-up to the bout with Crawford, who switched seamlessly between an orthodox and southpaw stance throughout the fight.

“We’re not going to do that in training camp,” Spence said, discussing Crawford’s stance as a southpaw. “There were a lot of things that could have gone differently or could have been prevented. Even if I hadn’t sparred that way, we could have prevented a lot of things that shouldn’t have happened.”

Although Spence acknowledged shortcomings in preparation, he stopped low of suggesting that Crawford’s victory was undeserved. Instead, his follow-up message emphasized that Crawford deserved the victory thanks to his discipline and execution on fight night.

Crawford dropped Spence three times before forcing a stoppage in the ninth round of their undisputed welterweight championship clash on July 29, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The victory made Crawford the first male fighter of the four-belt era to become undisputed champion in two weight classes.

Spence is scheduled to return to the ring on July 25 when he faces Tim Tszyu in a 158-pound catchweight in Australia. The competition will be his first appearance since the loss to Crawford and will be an opportunity to showcase the changes he believes he has made in his preparation.
