Jack Cattell said he was “closed” at the start with Arnold Barboza Jr. On Saturday, despite the perspective of a huge fight, if on Saturday he wins in their junior medium title in Manchester.
Both men weighed 139 pounds on Friday, when they want to become a mandatory claimant for the belt of Teofimo Lopez.
Despite the perspective of higher awards, Catterall (30-1, 13 KO) said he was fully focused on the task.
“I know the stake of this fight, what is happening in the future with victory on Saturday evening,” said Cattell during weighing. “I am now a tunnel vision, closed. I already have a great job to do tomorrow and I’m sure I will do it. “
Both warriors were already to the touch at a distance of the title, but now they forced to compete in a fierce competitive unit of 140 pounds.
Cattell said he was excited to get the bill on the next gigantic night before his home fans.
“It will be in Manchester for the second time in four months,” said Catterall this week.
“So it’s a great achievement for me. But I put it down on demanding work, dedication that we will do and I am right. I am fully focused on Barboza for Saturday.
“I come to beat him and I am excited to show fans, which I worked on, all the demanding work, all the time away from family and friends, to go forward and put a statement to show the rest of the division inform them that I am coming for the world championship title. “
Barboza (31-0, 11 KO) was equally sure at the Thursday press conference before the fight, saying that all Boos will include him and that he hopes for an intense atmosphere.
Cattell wins with Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis in 2024, while Barboza defeated José Ramírez in November to extend his undefeated record.

WBO Order Abdullah Mason vs. Sam noakes for an empty airy title

WBO officially ordered noakes #1 to start negotiations in case No. 2 Abdullah Mason to obtain an empty airy title. Two fighters have 20 days to make a contract.
This is a substantial step in raising Noakes (17-0, 15 KO), which fought at the national level throughout the entire six-year career. He deals with the number 1 from WBO, but his biography is sterile from the pretenders. There is no single claimant in CV Nokes.
WBO orders Mason-Noeses a airy fight title
On paper it is a terrible mismatch for Mason. This fight will make WBO look bad, because by giving unprepared, confined nokes ranking No. 1, never proved. As an organization, you want to make realistic choices in the rankings. Placing Noakes in the first place does not make sense.
Of course, WBO has reasons to give nokes ranking No. 1, but in fact it is not at the level of half of the opponents whose Mason has fought in the past. As such, there is a foregone conclusion that Abdullah (19-0, 17 KO) will win and will be another WBO champion.
Fans wanted WBO to order Abdullah Mason, to fight Edwin de los Santos or Andy Cruz for a free 135-punting title, not Noakes. These two would be much more worthy opponents for the Mason to fight for a free title.
Is Mason too adolescent for the title?
There are some fears that the 21-year-old Mason is too adolescent to fight 27-year-old Noakes and should wait. Some believe that even if Abdullah captures the free WBO title with victory, he is too adolescent to keep the belt against the wolves that will come.
Mason Protection Challenge Top Range
The best rank cannot protect Mason, as if they were doing their careful writing when he is a champion. When he owns the WBO title, there will be a goal on his back, and predators in a airy ward will come for him. As you can expect, the highest rank will avoid warriors such as Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis. Mason is too green to fight any of these four fighters.
The WBO title was empty after the former Keyshawn Davis champion left the weight for his defense against de los Santos last Friday. Davis arrived in 4.3 pounds of excess weight, which some fans considered a deliberate Miss on his part to either gain an advantage or completely avoid fighting. Ultimately, the fight was canceled after the management of De Los Santos decided not to go with it.
The road to the airy title of WBO begins. 🥊

Floyd Mayweather and a question about the value of one billion dollars
Published

June 12, 2025
Floyd Mayweather is still postponing that he is financially fighting among real estate contracts and waiting processes regarding defamation.
The boxing legend, which defeated each of her opponents during a unique career, is persecuted by slander in retirement.
If it is not 50 cents asking if Mayweather has any money, then reporters strive for the latest measure.
However, competing boxers, such as Amir Khan, broadcast their views on the remaining fortune of Mayweather, which the head of TMT may partially attribute to the fact that he never fought with the champion of two weighted.
According to World Boxing News in 2013, Mayweather issued a survey to choose his next opponent. Khan won his voice and Mayweather fought Marcos Maidan at MGM Grand, Las Vegas.
Since then, Khan has not survived this situation in discussions with WBN. However, Mayweather did what he did and retired, never giving the British opportunity.
Coming from Bolton, he can be cheerful, knowing that some fans and other professionals liked Khan to defeat Mayweather, and Floyd wanted to avoid him.
Floyd Mayweather’s financial rumors
However, when it is a continuation of reports on Mayweather’s financial fights, it will not be only fans and boxers who want to know more.
Mayweather has a constant lawsuit for defamation at Business Insider about a report that his real estate agreement in Fresh York in the amount of $ 402 million is not true.
The Mayweather against the reporter is looking for $ 100 million compensation after questions about the real estate file.
But it was a film clicked to Stephen A. Smith, who significantly and really did Mayweather.
The film, which does not include Smith, who said nothing about the potential bankruptcy of Mayweather, prompted the answer of the five significant world champion.
Mayweather starts
The 48-year-old said back: “Everyone has the right to their own opinion. But if you call it two private jets, having 100 buildings and the possibility of doing what you want, I’m sure everyone is going bankrupt.
“I am not a liar. I work challenging to build my name and build my reputation. I will not let anyone go there, smudge my name and bad about me and my family.
“I was constantly thinking about life after boxing and generational richness. When I started with real estate, I skipped eight characters and went to nine characters.
“I wanted my payments to be larger, to be able to travel with family and friends. I don’t want to call it a real estate dynasty; it’s just building the wealth of the generation,” he added.
It will not be a coincidence that Mayweather showed the journalist one of his bank balances shortly after his answer. Teofimo Lopez, who met with Mayweather earlier on the same day, and then defended the former king pound by the pound in the Fighthipe movie.
“He is not broken!”
Lopez said: “To explain, Floyd Mayaather is not rinsed. The master is not rinsed. It is far from rinsing.
“It was M ********** showed me his bank account, I thought:” I’ve never seen such numbers in my life! “
Earlier there are no registered cases in which Mayweather presents its wealth through banking applications. Therefore, it must be a direct response to a continuous bait.
However, if the Mayweather does not fight, some of his critics do not have the sale they need to answer against the Grand Rapids, born in Michigan, the owner of the property.
They have to find a recent way to give negativity against a boxer superstar, which certainly has enough money to feel comfortable for the rest of his life.
Does he, however, have all the properties he claims, and over ten data in the reserve? This is a question about the value of a billion dollars.

Why Andy Cruz is an unacceptable king of a lightweight division: he aims to dominate Mishiro to challenge the challenge of IBF Raymond Muratalla
Published

June 12, 2025
Olympic gold medalist 2020 Andy Cruz says he is “ready for war” in his 12-round lightweight title IBF eliminator against Hironori Mishiro on Saturday, June 14, at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York. This fight could steal the program on the Richardson Hitchins vs. George Cambosos Jr. to Dazna.
Cruz vs. Mishiro eliminator
Andy Cruz wants to introduce a MasterClass performance to make a statement by dominating Mishiro 5’9 1/2 ″ to allow IBF Lightweight Champion Raymond Muratalla know that it is next. If this competition follows the next, Cruz would fight for the title of world champion in his seventh fight as a professional. This is currently scarce, because promoters tend to develop their fighters before placing them in situations of the world title.
Andy Cruz: Unpredited King
Andy was not discussed because of his stationary career of five, but many boxing fans think that he is another King of the Division 135 pounds. Cruz has the ability to overcome the lightweight Muratalla masters, Shakur Stevenson and Gervont Davis. I just need an opportunity to fight them. I can see Andy Cruz as an untouched king of lightweight division.
He has more talent than any of the current masters, especially the weakest link, Shakur. Entrepreneur Abdullah Mason is also not in the same league as Cruz. We hope that the highest rank are wise enough to stop Mason away from Cruz, just like with Keyshawn Davis. It must be protected against the Cuban wolf.
Cruz tried to lure the former WBO master of lightweight, Keyshawn Davis, to fight him, but he did not want to not mix him with him four times lost with Cuban talent at amateurs. The lonely “businessman” Davis decided to leave a unit of 135 pounds, instead of staying nearby and potentially to lose the fifth time in Cruz.
Mishiro’s challenge: unprepared
It is complex to get a good indicator at the Mishiro talent level, because his opposition is sterile with recognizable names. He is a classic definition of a warrior who worked in forgetting all his eight -year professional career in Japan.
It is perfect that Mishiro finally has a chance to fight in the IBF title against Cruz, but this is not in perfect circumstances. Mishiro is thrown into the wolves, put in with Cruz, because there is no one in his CV to prepare him for this kind of fight.
