Chantelle Cameron and Natasha Jonas in Chase for Katie Taylor Showdown

Published

on

Chantelle Cameron and Natasha Jonas are fighting to be another opponent of Katie Taylor after her fight with Amanda Serrano in Novel York on Saturday.

Taylor (24-1, 6 KO), 38, from Bray in Ireland, but WHO Trains in Connecticut, is 2-0, enters the Saturday defense of its world-handed titles in Madison Square Garden.

Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KO), 36, who as a child moved to Novel York from Puerto Rico, overcame a significant disadvantage that she accelerated three classes to Outland and Wobble Taylor in the greatest fight in the history of women’s boxing in November last year, while fighting his right eye.

But Taylor became forceful in later rounds to get 95-94 results with all three judges, after winning the first fight vs. Serrano in the issue of the disputed, divided decision in April 2022.

Cameron (20-1, 8 KO), 34, from Northampton in England and who is now training in Liverpool, also fights on the same card as Taylor vs. Serrano III in Madison Square Garden, when he is in the face of Jessica Camar (14-4-1, 3 KO).

Cameron inflicted the only defeat of Taylor, at most points in May 2023, before Ireland also took revenge on majority points in November 2023.

Cameron is signed for the most valuable promotions, companies Social Media Star Jake PauL, and because he is also a pretender for the WBC Taylor belt, the future opponent of Taylor looks like.

However, Cameron still has some doubts.

“I was told that I would fight the winner of Katie versus Amanda because I am the transient champion of WBC,” said Cameron ESPN.

“However, Amanda is not a 140-Funt warrior, but whoever wins, and if the title becomes empty, I will fight for the title after the next fight.

“I am not saying that I am sure that the third fight against Katie, because the fight with her in the trilogy should have been a long time ago. I fought her in Dublin twice and told me after the second in the ring that the fight against the trilogy would happen.

“I thought he was signed and sealed, I agreed to the date and place, and I actually took less money for her than the first two fights. But then I was told that he wanted to fight easier and fight her duty instead of me.

“She didn’t want to fight me again and did she change her mind?

Mother-of-one Jonas (16-3-1, 9 KO), 41, from Liverpool, has retirement plans on the shelf to see if he can receive one last day of remuneration compared to Taylor or Serrano.

Jonas lost its titles WBC and IBF World Welter Wweight on the British rival Lauren Price on points in March.

“Katie means much more to me because of our history, but the fight with the winner, whoever is, means that you have lanes on the line, so it makes sense,” said Jonas Espn.

“There are only three fights in which I could invest everything, and against Katie, Mikael Mayer and Amanda Serrano.

“I am sure that Cameron Cameron is higher in a queue than me to fight Katie because she signed a contract with Jake Paul. But 140 pounds are something that I could do comfortably and I am available.

“Fighting Katie would be perfect because there are only some fights that can motivate me, because you have to go through hell mentally and physically to prepare. If I intend to do it, I want to do it because of to motivate myself. Katie would bring it.”

Both Cameron and Jonas agree that Taylor’s utilize of her head can be a decisive factor again on Saturday. Serrano was seriously cut through the ass of the head in the 4th round of her second defeat from Taylor in November, and later Taylor took the point to utilize.

“I think it’s Katie’s style, I don’t think she does it on purpose, but she definitely uses her head,” said Cameron ESPN.

“I had opponents of her message before I fought Katie, telling me to think of her head and sticking to. We were aware that she was leading with my head before she entered both fights. I don’t think she did it on purpose, but when she sees how she cut you, she did it, she just did against Amandie and I in recurses. [by a clash of heads in Round 3] And then she made the decision [in the 2023 rematch].

“Katie is an incredible boxer, but she is enraged with her head and leads with her head.

“I hope that this will be a cleaner fight, but so far they have produced really good fights and I think it will be another good. It is challenging to say who will win, I think Amanda had pierced the first two fights, but Katie was forceful in the second, so sit on the fence.”

Jonas, who lost her unanimous decision from close results towards Taylor for world airy titles in 2021, says that Taylor must watch out for her head after last year she has managed a point against Serrano.

“Amanda thought she won and could do enough, but I thought Katie deserved to win the second fight,” said Jonas Espn.

“I thought that Amanda’s cutting completely changed the second fight when she was coming back to the fight, when she had cut, then changed her packed and played Katie. Amanda probably thought she had to do it because it was a terrifying cut, and Amanda lost her way, and Katie became more effective.

“I do not think that Strzępiek was deliberate, but Katie also knows how she boxes, and if you look at the faces of herself, Delfine Peroon and Chantelle after we went to Katie, we have nodules and unevenness on our faces, and they were not from the blows. It was a great decision for the judge in the second fight Serrano to make Katie, because they did It was a great decision.

“I think it’s a bit like Artur Beterbiv vs Dmitriry Bivol, if they fought 20 times, everyone would be really close, really high quality. Some gel styles for the production of classics, and so it is in the case of Katie and Amanda.

“Both girls raised women’s boxing to a different level. They don’t slide anyone, they are simply great rivals.

“The conversation around the boxing of women and around it interest in which they obtained is a recognition for both of them, women’s boxing is owed to them.”

Eddie Hearn says Devin Haney fights are not profitable

Published

on

Image: Eddie Hearn Says Devin Haney Fights Didn’t Make Money

“We didn’t really make any money on Devin Haney, but that’s OK,” Hearn told Fighthype. “We lost a little. We earned a little. We built him for this position.”

When a promoter like Hearn, who has been Haney’s biggest cheerleader in the past, starts talking about “losing a little” and “overpaying,” it’s a clear sign that market value and actual revenue are out of sync.

Hearn essentially argues that while Haney gained name recognition, he never became a self-sustaining financial engine. The cost of his handbags combined with promotional expenses apparently outweighed the ticket sales and DAZN subscriptions he brought in.

“I’m not prepared to lose a few million by labeling Devin Haney,” Hearn said.

Hearn explained that signing Haney was still critical at the time, especially as a teenage American player with upside, but the numbers behind the performances did not fully reflect the results. He said Matchroom had “paid through the nose” to bring in Haney and push him forward, even if the reward was not immediate.

That experience now shapes his approach to Haney as an opponent or headliner. Hearn made it clear that he was no longer willing to accept losses just to add a recognizable name to his business card.

He compared this to promoters who may still be in the build-up phase, pointing to situations where companies are willing to take short-term financial hits.

“Others do. They may lose a few million, there is nothing wrong with that because they are building their squad,” Hearn said. “I’ve been in this position before. I’m not in this position anymore.”

Haney has yet managed to secure substantial paydays, including appearances at Saudi-backed events and on high-profile US cards, and Hearn admitted that the player and his father Bill have handled their business well. However, from the promoter’s point of view, the calculation has changed.

If the biggest sports promoter claims that he will not put a fighter in the fight of the evening because he will lose $2 million, it is difficult to deny that this fighter is a real “draw”. This suggests that Haney’s status was partly due to high guarantees rather than organic fan demand.

Roy Jones Jr Names Heavyweight Who Will Give Moses Itauma Substantial Problems: ‘He’s The Only One’

Roy Jones Jr names the heavyweight who will give Moses Itauma big problems: “He’s the only one”

Roy Jones Jr believes Moses Itauma is the most “exhilarating heavyweight” since Mike Tyson, but he named one man who would perhaps derail his explosiveness.

Despite not having fought any top-level fighters, Itauma is widely regarded as a future world champion who can reign supreme for many years to come.

The 21-year-old easily scored his biggest win to date in March steamrolling the typically durable Jermaine Franklin in five rounds.

In this way, Itauma became a mandatory challenger to the winner of the Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois fight, which will take place on May 9 for Wardley’s WBO heavyweight world title.

However, at this point in his promising career, the precocious talent had yet to prove himself at a world-class level, and his only two notable victories were victories over the faded Dillian Whyte and the overmatched Demsey McKean.

Nevertheless, in both cases, in 2025 and 2024 respectively, Itauma finished in the first two rounds and showed his potential at the world level.

After passing the eye test, heavyweight legend Jones believes Itauma is capable of knocking out anyone in the heavyweight division except Alexander Usyk, who still holds the WBC, IBF and WBA world titles.

I’m talking to Grosvenor CasinoJones explains that Usyk’s elusiveness and experience will likely cause problems for the Briton, presenting him with a style he has never encountered before.

“Is Moses Itauma the most exhilarating heavyweight since Mike Tyson? Right now, yes, I think so. He has the explosive punching power that Mike Tyson had. If you can hit them before they hit you, most of the time you’ll knock them out.”

“That’s what Mike did. So if [Itauma] if he does this, he will knock out most heavyweights. However, in Usyk’s case, he’s a bit difficult to hit.

“Moses gives all the heavyweights a difficult time. You can’t say he beat them until you put them in front of him [him]because you haven’t actually seen it cracked yet, but it’s the only one I can see [giving] For him, Usyk is the biggest problem.”

While many consider Usyk vs. Itauma to be the most breathtaking fight in heavyweight boxing, it’s difficult to imagine the pair ever crossing paths in a competitive sense.

Ryan Garcia is calling for his next fight after winning the WBC title

Published

Image: Ryan Garcia Urges Promoters to Book Next Fight Now

“I want to fight so bad to fight 😩 I feel even more now that I have the belt. CHAMPION wants to fight. SOMEONE RUNS THE SCRAP” said Ryan Garcia on X.

Ryan probably talks a lot so as not to get stuck in a mandatory defense that pays a pittance. By demanding Conor Benn or celebrity rematches, he forces the hand of his promoters.

The reality is that Ryan holds the WBC belt, but the division is currently a waiting game. If someone like Turki Alalshikh doesn’t find Benn worth the investment despite his struggles with Regis Prograis, Ryan could be in for a close fight, which he definitely doesn’t want.

If Ryan had a “fight anyone, anywhere” mentality, he wouldn’t be in this situation. “Sugar Ray Robinson” would have already signed a contract to fight the most perilous guy available to prove his point.

Ryan’s current situation is a perfect example of a player falling into the trap of his own financial expectations. Because he has such a huge fan base, he feels like he can’t make a “normal” title defense if it wasn’t a blockbuster event.

It’s telling that Ryan’s interest in Benn increased right after Benn appeared to be the one to beat against Regis Prograis on April 11. It’s a business-first attitude. He is looking for the highest payout with the least technical risk.

Rejecting Rolly Romero as an option but going after the guy whose eyes the 37-year-old Prograis just slashed, Ryan shows his hand. He wants a name he thinks he can easily beat.
