Eddie Hearn says that the winner of Lewis Crocker-Paddy Donovan will land Jaron Ennis

Published

Belfast – Promoter Eddie Hearn admits that it is unlikely that the winner of the Saturday fight of Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan will end the challenge of Jaron Ennis for IBF.

Ennis is fighting WBA Beltholder Eimantas Stanionis in April, and Crocker-Donovan is the eliminator of the Philadelphia Championships.

But only because Ennis is heading in a different direction, it does not mean that there is not much on the line for the Saturday winner at the SSE arena in Belfast.

“So, when Boots fights with Stanionis, the winner will receive a letter with information that you have to fight Paddy Donovan or Lewis Crocker, whoever wins,” explained Hearn. “And it is very likely that the shoes decide not to fight this person because he will go to 154, or ask to release from the fight with another master, which will probably be awarded. But then there will be no layoffs and it is very likely that the winner of this fight will fight for a free title. And when you look at the rankings, it is very likely that it will be a fight that you can bring to Ireland. If it’s Crocker, it is very likely that he can fight for the title of World Championships in Odyssey, the World Cup Championships. This is a huge title to win. And if it is Paddy, there is a good chance that we could bring a substantial fight to the south of Ireland and try something wild, and he could fight for the championship of the world -class weight. If you win this belt, you put yourself in a position for Haney, Garcia, Teofimo, all the life changing fights, so it will be really intriguing to see what will happen. But without a crocker, who will now be the headline in Northern Ireland? You can do good nights for fighting … Crocker is not a star yet to fill the arena with anyone. He does it against Paddy, because it is a great fight and everyone is buying north-south, Belfast-Limerick, but if he wins, he has the opportunity to fill him in huge fights. “

It is a fight that captured the imagination, and 8,000 fans will pack a place in Fight Night. Donovan-Crocker is not yet well-established stars, but the chemistry they created and the energy of the fight is concrete.

“It’s quite unusual, undefeated, in their absolute splendor, it is very true and you often don’t see it,” added Hearn. “Both have teams that think their man is insurmountable in this fight. You have Billy Nelson and some may sometimes call him a little illusive, but he is sold 100 percent that Lewis Crocker will pass through Paddy Donovan. Andy Lee is the biggest fan of Paddy Donovan on the planet, so normally in such a fight, you would think that he might think: “What about another route?” Or people, especially they both come from Ireland, do not tend to do so, because there are many on the line with the rights to brag. If you lose this fight, you have a future for now, but not at the world level. “

With this in mind, Hearn was clearly impressed by the state in which Donovan, in which he appears, but also delights with Crocker’s weighty hands.

“I think Paddy will be razor. I think it looks in an unbelievable form, “added Hearn. “There are two paddys, right? There is a fallen, who was in Belfast in Belfast, when we did a miniature show, a four -week termination, a bit plump. Still flashy, but then he gets a little tired, and then there is the devered one who probably trained out of the respect of Lewis Crocker, knowing that it was a real fight. I think Lewis is a substantial blow. “

He tactically said that the best Donovana plant is Bivol to make Crocker’s Beterbiv.

“Lewis’s style is more like Beterbiev, come, go down, huge painful shots land, but you have to catch him, and Paddy is very slippery,” said Hearn. “And if he enters his flow in five or six rounds, it will be easier for him to choose a fight, and he can put his foot on gas. I think that a lot will depend on how Lewis has Paddy Donovan at the beginning of the fight. He can’t lose missiles and get six celebrations and have four or five down, because Paddy will start in his flow, and then he frustrated, then you will load, and then the fight can leave you. ”

There are several intriguing fights in the series, in which Irish fans got involved in the bill. With this in mind, probably the place will be full long before the main event.

Between Craig Richards and Nadzie McCrora and Nadzie McCrora.

“I tell you where the loser is going; done. Ready – said Hearn. “But I know Craig Richards. Both guys move a little. And if Craig doesn’t win in this fight, I don’t see him continue. Nasty, even after [Edgar] Berlanga Fight, he thought: “Well, I had a great run.” Now, if he is defeated, he finished or ended near the world level. Craig, you have some bad performance against Willy Hutchinson, a few signs of questions, both great puncher. I think it will be a really good fight and I think the winner may get a smith calum, a [Anthony] Yarde fight or Lyndon Arthur fight. You intend to put yourself on a great British or European duel and a great payment day. This is a struggle to stay alive. This is reality.

“So you have Kurt Walker against Leon Woodstock, it’s a really good fight and get ready for the bell, Shauna Browne, fights with Elif Nur Turhan from Turkey, whose team haunted me for two years. When I tell you that it will be a 10-rund war … Shauna Browne will not go back, it is as strenuous as elderly shoes, this Elif Turhan does not cease to appear. Huge puncher. And then you have [Ruadhan] Farrell-[Gerard] Hughes rematch, they will get together, it’s a really good box of boxing. “

Marcos Maidana predicts Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 after losing to Mayweather twice

With Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao set to rematch in September, Mayweather’s former rival Marcos Maidana shared his thoughts on the fight.

In 2014, Maidana was defeated twice by the great American, and the first of the two fights was considered one of the few situations in which a decision could result in a “TBE” failure. officially defeating “El Chino” by majority decision.

Their second meeting was more convincing and proved to be Maidan’s last appearance as a professional, while Mayweather went on to fight the biggest fight of his career and defeat arch-rival Pacquiao the following year.

Now, 11 years after the event, Mayweather is set to end his nine-year hiatus and fight the Filipino icon for the second time. with the Friday, September 25 date currently advertised.

Though others consider the fight controversial due to the age of both legends, Maidana said Fighting Hub TV that there are no problems with the competition.

“[I think it is] Good. They can still be in boxing and if they can fight, there’s nothing wrong with them fighting.

As for the fight itself, Maidana predicted a similar outcome to their 2015 meeting, with Mayweather’s style remaining unmatched as he improves his legendary record to 51-0.

“I think it will be the same, maybe a little slower because they are a little bigger, but I think the way they both fight will be the same.”

In addition to the fight with Pacquiao, Mayweather is also scheduled to fight an exhibition fight with Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in June.

O’Shaquie Foster says Richardson Hitchins is ‘scary as hell’

O’Shaquie Foster took his feud with Richardson Hitchins to another level this week, accusing the former IBF junior welterweight champion of being afraid of sparring and questioning his durability during a lengthy interview ahead of Foster’s May 30 title defense against Raymond Ford.

Foster slammed Hitchins, claiming that people in boxing have been questioning Hitchins’ mentality for years.


“Hitchins is scary as hell. I knew it. That’s what they say in boxing,” Foster said on Sean Zittel’s YouTube page. “They must have pumped him up with some sparring sessions. He knew what I was talking about. They had to put a wrench in his back so he could go to sparring and so on.”

Foster then mentioned that Hitchins was withdrawing from his scheduled fight against Oscar Duarte on the day of the competition in February.

“He has heart problems. It’s not a physical heart problem. He just doesn’t have a heart. See what he did to Duarte? Why am I worried about Hitchins? He’s so terrible,” Foster said.

Hitchins later responded to Foster’s X with a miniature response of his own.

“I’ve got a lot more heart than that alien pussy in my ass, nigga.”

The latest exchange comes just hours after Foster mocked Hitchins over his Olympic path and his past ties to Subriel Matias.

Foster blamed Hitchins for not making the U.S. Olympic team before he later represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympics. Hitchins previously lost out on U.S. selection to Gary Antuanne Russell before qualifying for international play in Haiti via Olympic qualifying.

This exchange added unexpected warmth to an otherwise serene week in boxing, especially since both fighters weren’t even fighting in the same division. Foster is the 130-pound world champion, and Hitchins recently won the 140-pound belt.

Still, both fighters come from the Recent York boxing scene, know each other’s amateur history, and now seem fully committed to turning their social media spats into something much more personal.

Naoya Inoue offered an immediate title fight in a fresh weight class: “I’m already ready”

Naoya Inoue offered immediate title shot in new weight class: “I’m ready right now”

Naoya Inoue recently cemented his status as one of, if not the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world with a win over compatriot Junto Nakatani. The question is, can anyone defeat him before he hangs up his gloves?

The Japanese phenom defended his four super bantamweight belts for the seventh time in a fight against Nakatani at the sold-out Tokyo Domemaintaining his undefeated record in what many considered to be the toughest test of his career to date.

With retirement not too far away, the undisputed two-division champion is looking to tackle one more weight class before it’s time for a Hall of Fame campaign. Ready and willing to fight at 126 pounds is Bruce Carrington from Brooklyn.

I’m talking to ES Newsthe WBC featherweight champion said that watching Nakatani fight only confirmed his belief that he was capable of defeating “The Monster”.

“Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of things that I can’t say here. I’m ready. Inoue is still a spectacular fighter, but I know I have what it takes to beat him. Nakatani is no slouch. I expected a good fight… he did everything he had to do to win.”

“Shu Shu,” who won the vacant title against Carlos Castro in January and will return to the ring to defend it against Rene Palacios in July, then said he would take the fight to Inoue as soon as it was offered to him.

“100%. I’m ready now, I’m ready today, I’m ready tomorrow, I’m ready whenever. Come to the Shu Shu show, baby. I can’t wait to share the ring with you. It’s going to be fireworks.”

Inoue made his plans clear – to fight once again at super bantamweight, most likely against Jesse Rodriguez, and then move up to featherweight, which he said would be the final challenge of his career. Although he did not mention Carrington’s name, the 33-year-old says he wants to take the belt straight away.

As a long-reigning champion and heavyweight star who is gaining more and more importance, sanctioning authorities would likely have no problem approving such a possibility.

However, many fans will believe that “Bam” Rodriguez can thwart these plans. The 26-year-old is expected to move up to bantamweight to fight for Antonio Vargas’ WBA title, with the fight against Inoue taking place in early 2027.
