Edgar Berlanga is bitter that his fight with Jonathan Gonzalezem -ortis (20-0-1, 16 KO) will be a factor instead of the main event on Saturday, March 15, at Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida.
The event will be shown live in Dazn. Instead of being a star, Berlang’s farewell fight with the match is on the undercard Austin Williams vs. Patrice Volny.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KO) says that he had a headline on March 8 in Puerto Rico, but the promoter Eddie Hearn sent him contracts that he did not like, including one with the fact that he extends to the match.
Berlanga did not want to do this because he believed that there would be a great demand for him as a free agent. He wants “Get a bag.” According to Hearn, Berlanga wanted to easily return after losing to the super medium weight master Canelo Alvarez in September last year. He wanted to be in the main event in the fight for non-headliner.
Berlanga got a huge payment against Canelo, as it was $ 10 million, which shows that Hearn provided him. He probably did not beat anyone at the highest level to get this fight, and was not interested in fighting the former “regular” superpower WBA David Morrell when he was mandatory for his belt.

Free agency plans
“This free concert tour of the agency will be like Kobe, Lebron, Carmelo Anthony and Michael Jordan,” said Edgar Berlanga to Thaboxingvoice About the demand that he expects for his services after his contract with the match ends on Saturday with Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortr.
It is doubtful that there is a huge demand for Berlang’s services when it hits the market of free agencies, he believes. You never know. If the boxing TKO Turki Alalshikh and Dana White want to sign Berlanga on Substantial Bucks, he would be joyful. However, Berlanga would have to be protected to develop the way he was carefully conducted with Matchroom and the highest rank. Turks and Dana could not put Berlangia with the best and expect that he was doing well. He would probably lose many times. Dana said that the fighters who are with them would lose. So maybe it won’t matter if Berlanga will be beaten over and over again.
“You think I want to sit here [with Matchroom] And fight this kind of fighting. If I were a free agent now, I would fight with a great fight now, Berlanga CONTINUAL. “It would be Munguia, Caleb [Plant] Or [Jermall] Charlo. I strive for the best dogs. “
34 -year -old Jermall Charlo has not fought for two years and is not a type that would sell in a headliner on PPV against Berlang. This would require older people interested in buying the event, that they are doing well because they were too inactive.
“In the main event I was to fight on March 8 in Puerto Rico. Eddie Hearn and his crew sent contracts that we do not like and wanted to make an extension. We didn’t want to make extensions. I wanted to do one and say goodbye to them and do it in Puerto Rico. They didn’t see us with us, “Berlanga said.
Note: the opponent whose Berlanga wanted to fight for the Puerto Rico show Pink gabe (26-17-1, 15 KO), who went 0-4 in its last four fights and has not won from 2021. Of course, it would be a bad farewell fight for the match Hearn and Dazn to show up at the main event at one of your cards. They want to provide value to fans, and Berlanga vs. Rosado would be a pure poison.
SUPERGWIDE status?
“I do not want to fight the event of cooperation, but it is a victim for me so that after that I could become a free agent to be able to make my own moves and do what I want to do. I’m at this level now, where I’m a star now. I am a struggle for a high caliber and sell tickets and I am a compulsory warrior on television.
Berlanga is not a superstar. It is popular in the Up-to-date York part and in Puerto Rico. As for the rest of the USA, he is simply a warrior protected by his promoters, tailored to tomato cans to set him with a fight with Canelo Alvarez. He did it, he shows his gratitude, wanting to leave the match, believing that everything would be better for him.
“There are immense, immense, immense, immense fights for 168 that I want to do. I feel that if I am alone and I can go with a television network, because television networks are those that are bosses, “said Berlanga. “Television networks are those that throw away money, and then promoters send money for fighters.
“So, regardless of the promoter with whom I will decide to promote a great mega fight and any television network that it lies, we earn on a lot of money so that we can both eat and create history. This applies to Jaime Munguia, Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo. It’s about money movement now. It’s about making a lot of money for me and another person in the ring. “
Whoever signs Berlanga would have to be fine when he was beaten during the fight with a good opposition, but he did not show him talent to be good against any of the best super -medium medium weight. His best wins in his career are Padraig McCrory, Jason Quigley, Steve Rolls, Roamer Alexis Anguilo and Marcelo Concerres.
“You got me. I’m going to be 28 years elderly. You have Munguia, he is 28 years elderly. You have a caleba plant. He is 30 years elderly. Charlo is 30 years elderly. These guys want to create a heritage, history and make a bag. So when they retire, they have a family, children and can eat well – said Berlanga.
The heavyweight landscape could look very different by the end of the year.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in December, more than a decade after a fight between the British rivals was first discussed.
Their bout has reportedly been earmarked for a WBA ‘super’ heavyweight title, although that has proved controversial.
Gassiev remains listed by the WBA as its world champion and his team have lodged an objection to the prospect of another WBA heavyweight champion being crowned.
But it means the winner of Dubois-Wardley could enter 2027 with several lucrative options.
For Dubois, another victory would settle his rivalry with Wardley at 2-0 and give him a successful first defence of his second world title reign.
At the age of 29, wins over Joshua, Hrgovic and Wardley twice would leave Dubois with one of the strongest recent records among the division’s leading heavyweights.
Unification fights against Kabayel or Hrgovic would be obvious targets, while the winner of Fury-Joshua could provide another huge all-British option depending on how the WBA title situation develops.
For Wardley, victory would see him regain the title, avenge the only defeat of his career and put himself firmly in the conversation for unification fights.
The consequences of defeat are slightly different, though.
A second successive loss to Dubois would leave Wardley needing to rebuild before another world title opportunity.
Should Dubois lose, the rivalry would stand at 1-1 and calls for a third fight would begin almost immediately.
Tim Tszyu is reportedly set to enter a major title fight next month, bidding to become a two-division world champion at 160lbs.
The Australian has decided to remain at middleweight following his last outing, against Errol Spence Jr, which resulted in a unanimous decision victory on home soil.
While many had anticipated a more competitive affair in July, it ended up being largely one-sided, with Tszyu winning convincingly and sending his opponent into retirement.
In doing so, the 31-year-old claimed his most significant win since 2023, when he outpointed Brian Mendoza for the WBO super-welterweight title following back-to-back stoppages of Tony Harrison and Carlos Ocampo.
Tszyu would then suffer stoppage defeats to Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fundora, but now looks to join the world title scene at 160lbs.
According to Fox Sportshe is expected to return in late November and face WBA champion Erislandy Lara, who has not fought since scoring two knockdowns and unanimously outpointing Johan Gonzalez last December.
Prior to that, the Cuban retained his middleweight title with a ninth-round stoppage of Danny Garcia and, at the age of 43, is currently the sport’s oldest reigning world champion.
At his best, Lara is a highly-skilled southpaw with deceptive power but, due to his age and lack of activity, is rarely mentioned as one of boxing’s leading pound-for-pound operators.
Tszyu could therefore dethrone the 40-fight veteran in Australia next month, with Jermell Charlo reportedly set to feature on the undercard after having not fought since his wide points defeat to Canelo Alvarez in 2023.
The highly anticipated October 31 showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and WBC super-middleweight champion Christian Mbilli has faced mounting speculation in recent weeks, with growing concerns that the entire card could be pulled – or at least moved – from Saudi Arabia.
The fight marks Canelo’s return to the ring following his loss to Terence Craford last September – just his third defeat of his career.
He has landed an immediate shot at one of his old belts against Mbilli, who was elevated from interim to full champion when Crawford retired.
Set to headline the Mexico vs The World card at The Venue in Riyadh, the bout has been overshadowed in recent weeks by escalating regional hostilities, including drone strikes near the Saudi capital by Houthi rebels. Today, King Khalid airport was struck again.
The U.S. Mission in Saudi Arabia issued a security alert on October 5. The advisory cautioned American citizens to remain vigilant, immediately sparking rumours across the boxing world that the event could be abruptly relocated to Las Vegas in November.
There has been silence on the issue from the promotion, and even an official undercard announcement last week.
Today, boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh posted online to confirm that Canelo still wants the event to go ahead.
“Canelo reached out and told me he’ll still fight in Riyadh this October, no matter what happens.
“He fears nothing. My country is home to the two Holy Mosques, land of peace, safety, rich civilization, deep history, and kind-hearted people.
“Thank you to everyone who checked in and showed support. Hard times reveal true friends.”
Whether or not this encourages fans remains to be seen, with an increasing number still calling for the fight to be moved.
The decision locks in what is arguably the most crucial fight of Canelo’s recent career. After undergoing elbow surgery early this year, it is a must-win for Alvarez, who has hopes of becoming undisputed once more before retiring.
