Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney signed a contract with a fight with each other later this summer.

Lopez and Haney will meet on August 16 in Saudi Arabia and have both ink contracts for fighting at 145 pounds, according to Boxingscene.

Given the recall, it seems unlikely that the super delicate title WBO Lopez would be threatened.

The 27-year-old defended the belt for the third time on the same card as Haney on May 2 on Times Square, ahead of Arnold Barboza Jr.

“Taking over” he hoped to secure the meeting with the unified Lend a hand Valleries and IBF, IBF, Jaron EnnisHowever, a man from Philadelphia reportedly rejected the fight and will augment to 154 pounds, if he does not provide union, according to his supervisor Eddie Hearna.

This caused that a man from Brooklyn was looking elsewhere, and the fight with two division champion, Haney, appeared another logical step.

Clash looked like after a series of Lopez’s posts on X, which seemed to criticize Turks Alalshikh, the head of the boxing of Saudi Arabia, who would bank the event.

Lopez was publicly apologized to Alalshikha X: “To his Excellency @Turki_alalshikh, I take full responsibility for my inappropriate words in the” X “application.

“I’m publicly sorry;

To his Excellency @Turki_ALSHIKHHI take full responsibility for my inappropriate words in the “X” application.

I apologize to him in public; I will lead with greater respect, humility and professionalism. Sending love and delicate to everyone. You 🥊 #Box #MakeboxingGreatagain

Haney saw the former super delicate world champion, Jose Ramirez on the Times Square, bouncing from the brutal fight with Ryan Garcia, who was annulled from most of the defeat of the decision for Haney until the lack of a competition after Garcia did not pass the drug test.

The plan consisted in the fact that Haney Garcia’s rematch in October, but after the 26-year-old lost Romero roll In the main event of the Times Square cards, these intentions increased in smoke.

According to Lopez, “The Dream” had no choice but to look for a clash with him.

“Haney has not received any other option but to ask for Teofimo,” said Lopez Fighhype.com.

“So we’ll see what will happen.

“We’re ready for everyone.”

Anthony Joshua should avoid fighting the American perspective, Jared Anderson, according to the former world champion, Sergio Mora.

Joshuy’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, confirmed that last week, that the former two -time world champion in heavyweight, talks about Contract for two fights with the Riyjad Turki Alalshikh seasonThey called potential options with both Anderson and Dillian.

Anderson was seen as the future of the division until he suffered the destructive defeat of the fifth round with Martin Bakole in August in Los Angeles.

The 25-year-old returned to victory in February with a convenient victory in Marios Kollias and Mora believes that a man from Ohio would be a unsafe struggle for “aj” who comes out with The fifth round of the break through Daniel Dubois And he has just undergone a successful elbow surgery.

“I think that if he returns against Anderson, it will be complex,” said Mora Chris Mannix YouTube channel.

“Because Joshua still has one substantial fight, I hope that he remained against Tyson Fury.

“But Jared Anderson can ruin these plans.

“Anderson we expected it to be better against Bakole, but he was knocked out, but it bounced.

“I love when warriors are reflected in a few months.

“This means that he is still hungry, he still wants to reach the highest level of boxing, he still wants to fight the best.

“I think Anderson will be a complex fight for AJ.

“I wouldn’t recommend him to fight him first.”

Instead, Mora advised the 35-year-old to direct the rematch Dillian Whytewhich he detained in 2015.

The couple were to fight again in 2023, but Whyte was withdrawn after the drug test failure.

The Brixton man was cleaned to resume his career in March 2024, after investigating it confirmed that a positive test was caused by a contaminated supplement.

The 37-year-old won three in time since the defeat with Tyson Fury in April 2022 and is to return on Saturday based on the clash of Fabio Wardley from Justis Huni in Ipswich.

“Dillian Whyte should fight first,” he added.

“Although Dillian Whyte now has a terrifying trajectory.

“He is running away at the moment, several fights are winning.

“He deserves this fight, but he has already been beaten by AJ, so there is a knowledge of Anthony Joshu.

“So if you’re going to take these two fights, choose Dillian Whyte, who is long in the tooth.

“He has a momentum, but you’ve already been with him in the ring, you felt this power.”

George Groves joined Ricky Hatton, marking the potential clash of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshu. While the Gypsy king repealed all the hopes for the battle with his long-term rival in January, announcing his pension, the fans of the fight remained skeptical-taking into account the fifth time when the 36-year-old left the box.

The couple who was on an inevitable path to blocking the horns through their entire career never confirmed the date of the fight. Carl Froch recently called the potential “total mismatch”, promoting fury, but Groves has a different perspective. Speaking only with Express by Lottoland, BettingGrowes said: “Joshui’s last loss with Daniel Dubois was quite destructive.

“Dubois did it well that night, he jumped on Joshua, who probably wanted to ponderous down in the fight. He was not able, and was badly knocked out, on the largest scene, at the end of his career. This is a stern course.

“But the Fury also had losses in the back, maybe three if you join [Francis] Ngannou Fight, who did not impress. He was lucky to make a decision. Then he lost twice [Oleksandr] Usyk.

“It is probably just as mentally exhausting as the loss of Joshui from Dubois. I think it is a struggle for a choice. Fury is heavier, more agile, better boxing IQ, faster hands. Joshua is still a great athlete, he hits himself absurdly tough, and has a lot of great fight. It comes down to who makes the most.”

He comes when the former Hatton Hatton Master also shared his views on the fight, saying Vegas Insider: “It’s tough, I think it’s 50/50, I wouldn’t say that he would also be a favorite. AJ, as he was in the corner, even before he was knocked out, he was a bit free and I think he slightly took Daniel Dubois.

“He was so convinced before the fight, entering the fight and even during the fight. He is very relaxed, so maybe I give him a little harm, but he looked like he was thinking that he was a better person and he just had to endure Daniel … I know he was a relaxed type, but I think he took the eye with the ball with Daniel and you can’t do something like Daniel.

After a controversial victory in a fraction of the switchgear over Francis Ngannou in 2023, Fury suffered further losses with Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. They were the first defeat of his professional career, and also cost him the opportunity to gain the undisputed weighty glory.

Fury barely lost to an invincible Ukrainian through a divided decisite in May 2024, with WBC, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring weighty titles. Then Usyk confirmed his superiority, ensuring a unanimous decision victory over the King of Gypsy in an immediate rematch just four days before Christmas.

At the beginning of the novel year, Fury announced a pension from boxing on social media. However, Groves is skeptical about whether the former two -time champion is really made in sport. He added: “He’s retired five times now, so we know that retirement means nothing.

“They have benefits in retirement. You no longer have to live like an athlete or follow the British control council. There is no belt to deprived, and if he comes out of a pension, as he did earlier, it can escalate the value and excitement of the fight.

“I am almost sure that he will fight Anthony Joshua when Joshua recovers because of an injury or elbow surgery. It will probably be this year, probably in Saudi Arabia. They are both awards.

“Both of them boxed all their lives. They deserved enough and achieved a lot, but they did not leave the table, while they still have something left. They will fight with each other – and I would like to see it.”
