Benavidez wants Canelo Spot before Eubank Jr. in Great Britain

Bivol vs Benavidez

David Benavidez is ready to take Cinco de Mayo from Canelo Alvarez if his Mexican Nemesis is fighting in Great Britain.

To his frustration, the WBC heavyweight champion has long wanted to fight Canelo. Despite the years of racing, Canelo never accepted the fight, even when WBC ordered her.

When Canelo has four Turki Alalshikh fights, which will not include him, Benavidez will try to become the modern star of Las Vegas.

After winning Canelo over William Scull, to become a master of medium superpower again, Benavidez remains frozen.

Canelo is closed in the face of Crawford on September 12 at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas. On Saturday evening, the fighters went face to face in Riyadh to seal the contract.

Along with his falling return, the pound star as a pound wants his third contract to be a debut in Great Britain in May 2026. The likely opponent is Chris Eubank Jr.

The British actions increased from a very good performance in demanding a unanimous decision against Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur London stadium. However, as World Boxing News informed many times, Canelo was always interested in Eubank Jr. for the future fight for the title of world champion.

That is why the King of Super Medium WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC can place all his lanes on the line for Canelo vs. Eubank Jr. At the Wembley stadium on May 2 next year.

This releases the same date so that the next Mexican falls and take over the tradition of Las Vegas Strip if it is confirmed.

Oscar de la Hoya kept this place until 2007 before Floyd Mayweather took power. The boxing legend donated the baton to Canelo in 2015.

If the Sampson Lewkowicz promoter gets his way, Benavidez will be the next one that will secure the long -term date.

In a statement sent to WBN this week, Sampson Boxing said: “Lewkowcz says that he did everything to make the celebration of Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas next year is not unforgettable, fighting with a lightweight heavyweight supergim of David Benavidez.

“Lewkowcz says that his mission is a showdown for a lightweight heavyweight supremacy between the” Mexican monster “David Benavidez a Bivol or Beterbaview for Cinco de Mayo from 2026 in Las Vegas.”

In the case of the gloomy performance of Canelo against Scull, Lewkowcz added: “After watching Canelo Alvarez on Saturday evening and how he looked, I would not put him in Benavidez for fear that he would be seriously injured.

“David Benavidez will fight in autumn, and then he will be ready for Cinco de Mayo to face Bivol or Beterbaview. The torch will finally be given to him as a modern face face.”

After frustration with Canelo Benavidez, he faced Bivol as a must -be contemporary. The story repeated itself until WBC worked, he took the Bivol belt and gave it to Benavidez.

Bivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said that the fight would never happen because of the contract with Beterbalin for the trilogy.

The head of Matchroom could not understand why the World Boxing Council ordered the fight without trying to throw out the contract.

“His Excellency came out and made a rematch when he didn’t have to,” said Hearn Fight Hub TV. “Part of this agreement was that if we win, the third fight for Artur Beterbaview would take place. So I was very surprised by the speed of order.

“Don’t forget that Dmitriry Bivol has just won the WBC title. You always get Grace as a master. It wasn’t like it was ordered and Benevidez was waiting.”

President of WBC Mauricio Sulamain said Bivol had rejected the Benavidez offer worth $ 8 million. Hearn was not satisfied with the disclosure of this information.

“He simply defeated Morrella and it is as right, negotiations of the boom. Boom, a purse auction, a boom, informing people about the public offer.

“I mean when there was a time when someone from the organization publicly talked about the offer that Dimitri Bivol received?

“Actually, it’s quite strange. It’s like trying to put pressure on him to fight.

“The money is not located near money, which he intends to earn for fighting Beterbaiev, but it doesn’t matter if the offer was 20 million. We have a contract, and we also have our word, which is our bond, with which we never go.

“We will take the third fight. We will fight his Excellency because he gave Dmitriry the greatest opportunity.

“And by the way, in my opinion. And it is very challenging for Mauricio and WBC, because you are under great pressure from all different parties.

“The biggest fights in sport must be allowed and sometimes replace the mandatory obligation.

“For me, Bivol vs Beterbiev is the biggest fight in the division. We saw the two best fights I’ve ever seen. Why wouldn’t you let the third unquestionable?”

Bivol vs Beterbiev will not be unquestioned when it takes place this fall in Saudi Arabia. The winner will decide whether Benavidez will get a shot in the crown of four stripes after receiving the WBC version from the trilogy.

Tim Bradley says no promoter can match what Zuffa would pay Haney and Shakur

Tim Bradley believes the growing connections between Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Zuffa Boxing have less to do with avoiding certain opponents and more to do with the extraordinary financial opportunities currently available in the sport.

Speculation about Haney and Stevenson potentially joining Dana White’s boxing venture has increased in recent weeks, with both fighters having no long-term promotional commitments.


“No one will be able to pay them that amount. It doesn’t matter, wherever else they go, they won’t make that kind of money,” Bradley said on his YouTube channel.

“We remember and we go back to the time when PBC was founded, they were overpaying the players. Eddie Hearn is on DAZN and they started overpaying the players. It’s a period right now for these players, especially at the highest level, if they want to make money on the book, this is the perfect opportunity now.”

“With that in mind, this is why I see Haney and Shakur Stevenson signing on that dotted line,” Bradley said. “How they do it is another matter. How they arrange the contract will be another matter.”

“You only make money like this once in a lifetime. This is a great opportunity for both of these guys because of the type of life-changing money they will receive.”

Stevenson fulfilled his promotional obligations with Matchroom earlier this year after previously leaving Top Rank, leaving the WBC lightweight champion without a formal promoter. Meanwhile, Haney has largely pursued his career alongside his father, Bill Haney, having previously worked with both Matchroom and Top Rank.

Any move involving Haney could still be complicated by his position as the WBO welterweight champion. The sanctioning body recently confirmed that his mandatory against top contender Keyshawn Davis is next, despite discussions about other potential fights.

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men ahead of Anthony Joshua fight: ‘They could spoil the party’

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men before Anthony Joshua fight: “They can spoil the party”

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.

Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.

As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.

However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.

“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”

“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.

“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”

“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.

“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”

Fury’s opponent is expected to be confirmed soon, along with his The “run out” is scheduled to take place in August.

Devin Haney must defend against Keyshawn Davis or the title will be vacant

Image: WBO Reaffirms: Devin Haney Must Defend Against Keyshawn Davis Or Vacate Title

Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.

Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.


However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.

“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.

The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.

Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.

Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.

If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.
