Coach Stephen Edwards says that Edgar Berlanga will not fight Caleb Plant because he is in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight. He wants Jaime Munguia because he will stand before him and is damaged from a bad knockout he suffered during the last fight with Bruno Surace.

Edwards says that Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) will not want to fight the plant (23-2, 14 KO), because he would hurt and apply Feints, and he is a bad style for him.
Effect $ 10 million
He believes that Berlanga worth $ 10 million Berlanga in the fight against Canelo Alvarez put him in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight. Berlanga is not trying to accept any pretenders at a high level at the age of 168. Munguia wants, who lost two of the last three fights, and Jermall Charlo.
35-year-old Jermall is Antique relic from a distant past When the dinosaurs wandered on the ground before a 9 mm killer, asteroids erased them. He fought only once in the last four years. Charlo’s lifestyle is well known to fans, and this helps Berlanga because he would get another guy who is less than 100%. Edgar’s last opponent, Jonathan Gonzalez-OrtizIt looked like a double body for Tyson Fury, obese -looking, and it was surprising that Dazn agreed to fight for one of his cards.
“Edgar Berlanga is in a privileged position in which he can choose some types of guys to fight. You see how he wanders towards Jaime Munguia. Do you know why? Millcity boxing About Edgar Berlang, whose goal is to fight Jaime Munguui, not the Caleb plant.
The reason why Berlanga is “privileged” is that he has a immense base of fans in Recent York with Puerto Rikan, who identify with him. Edgar is not from the island, but plays at an angle and wears the flag for his fights. He likes to be an American, but perceives himself as Puerto Rican.
A broken warrior?
“He [Munguia] It comes to you and can probably be damaged from this knockout [against Bruno Surace on December 14th last year]. It was a bad knockout. He was [Berlanga] fight him rather than a guy [Plant] It will be moving, fevering and using its reflections. This kind of things, “Stephen continued why Berlanga wants Munguu, but not planting,” said Edwards.
Berlanga wants Munguia for three reasons:
- Uncomplicated to hit
- Chinny: He knocked out with respect in the last fight
- Popular among Mexican fans: this means immense PPV shopping and good money for Berlang.
“Sometimes, when guys earn some amounts, they become [selective]. Caleb is a bad style for him – said Edwards. “He would prefer to fight such guys who are before him.”
Berlanga is what is considered to be broken warrior. He got a immense $ 10 million compared to Canelo Alvarez in September last year, and now he wants similar money every time he fights, even though he doesn’t deserve it. Berlanga does not want to go back to receiving the handbags he got when he fought Padraig McCrora, Jason Quigley and Roamer Alexis Angulo.
Terenka Crawford is another example. After receiving a great payment against Errol Spence, he waited all year round until he was offered an appropriate agreement against Israil Madrimov. He just didn’t want to fight one of the pretenders at the age of 147 and take a gigantic cutting of remuneration. Now he does it again, sitting from the ring for a year to wait for him to get a great payment against Canelo. When these guys taste a huge cake, they don’t compete as before. They just look for specific fights about immense payments.
You will not see how they fight ordinary pretenders because there is no money and they may lose. You can’t put Berlanga with the best super medium -medium wagons, such as the plant, Christian Mbilli, Diego Paczecho or Oslyys Iglesias, because he was beaten again. His career will end if he goes to 175, where he should fight. There are no great payments for him or effortless grades, such as Munguia. There are only killers, like David Benavidez, David Morrell, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiv, who send him to defeat.
“He never won the title of the world,” said Edwards about Berlang. “This guy got $ 9 million [$10m to fight Canelo Alvarez]. It’s a lot of money. This is much more money than fighters much better than Edgar Berlanga was earned in one night. “
Canelo is ashamed of choosing a fight with Berlang because he knows that he has not deserved a shot for the world. His best wins were against Jason Quigley and Padraig McCrory. These are smaller guys. Canelo should have given the title of Pasteco, Mbilla or Iglesias, but we know why he didn’t choose them. They are solid warriors.
White boy claim
“Edgar Berlanga got a lot of money to fight Canelo and lost every round,” said Stephen. “I thought he was fighting well, but he lost at least 10 or 11 rounds and never won the motor title. He got eight, nine or 11 million dollars. This is a lot of money for a pretender for the title of world champion. It is tough to force this kind of guy to fight the Canelo plant, in which he will be delicate.
“It’s effortless to lose with Canelo because he is a legend. He is a guy with a higher rating. If he loses with Caleb after he said so many things about him, it will be, it will be [tough]. If Edgar loses with Caleb, his career probably ended because nobody wants to be defeated by a white boy. It’s a problem. American White Boys, people don’t want to lose to them, “said Edwards.
Berlanga focuses on money. This is a real reason why he is more interested in fighting Jaime Munguia, Canelo and Jermall Charlo than a plant. He can earn more money with the fight with these guys than he can plant because fans will buy events at PPV.
Munguia would have many Mexican Americans willing to order the fight with him and Berlanga. It doesn’t matter that Munguia is a marginal warrior who carefully maneuver his entire career by his promoters.
Mexican fans would still like to see how Berlanga is fighting because they would see it as a good fight. Berlang fans on the east coast would like to see this match and they don’t care that he never beat a good warrior in his career. They don’t care or understand that his CV is full of journeymen.

World champion will be stripped of his title if he refuses to fight David Benavidez next: ‘That’s it’

David Benavidez won the WBA and WBO cruiserweight world titles with his last fight, and the “Mexican Monster” may add to his collection in the future after one of the world champions was ordered to fight him under the threat of being stripped of his belt.
Last month I moved up from light heavyweight and dethroned Gilberto Ramirez in sensational styleBenavidez now holds the WBA (regular) and WBC featherlight heavyweight world titles, as well as his recently won unified cruiserweight crown.
As a result, the 29-year-old must decide whether he should return to the featherlight heavyweight scene or stay in the cruiserweight division, where he put in arguably the best performance of his career last time out after tuning out his fight with Jai Opetaia.
However, Benavidez was also named the WBC cruiserweight mandatory challenger and was ordered to fight WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian, another who has been linked to a fight with Opetaia.
If Mikaelian refuses to defend the title against Benavidez, the WBC president announced in an interview for the WBC magazine that he would strip the Armenian of the belt. Boxing Scene.
“The WBC order is Mikaelian against Benavidez. That’s all. If he fights again, he will waive his obligations to the WBC.”
“[There is no deadline] at this time. I will be talking to different managers. This is the highest priority. I look forward to making sure that happens.”
If Mikaeilian decides to continue the fight with Opetaia and thus lose the world title, it can be expected that Polish-born interim champion Michał Cieślak will benefit. Either he will be elevated to full world champion and ordered to make his first defense against Benavidez, or he will be included in a vacant belt fight against the three-division world champion.

Peter Fury claims Tyson used the wrong tactics against Usyk

“Well, he has his team there and I’m not criticizing anyone, but in both fights his tactics weren’t good,” Peter said in an interview with Sport Boxing.
“It worked out badly because look, if we have a little guy here who can throw, let’s say, a welterweight who can throw a thousand punches, and we have a heavyweight, will a heavyweight fighter throw a thousand punches with him? No.”
“Or maybe he’ll step in and take one good shot? Absolutely.”
“So basically yes, the strategy was just wrong. It doesn’t mean Usyk was better than him. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t say anything. You misunderstand the tactics and they are wrong.
“And you know, when you look at Usyk’s structure and what he does, when he distances himself and tries to box an elite boxer who is lighter than you and who is giving away pounds, he will ping you all over the shop. That should be noticed,” Peter Fury said.
Tyson Fury announced his return earlier this year and is expected to have a preparatory fight before the start of his scheduled series with Anthony Joshua. Queensbury promoter Frank Warren recently confirmed that Fury’s next opponent could be announced in the coming days, with the long-awaited fight against Joshua expected to take place later this year.
Usyk remains at the top of the heavyweight division and has been ordered to fight WBC interim champion Agit Kabayel. Warren also confirmed that negotiations for the fight are ongoing.
Fury’s third meeting with Usyk has not been announced. Peter Fury, however, remains convinced that the strategy used in the first two fights determined the result.

The politician’s perfect 12-0 KO record remains the strangest in boxing

Jorge Kahwagi achieved something almost impossible in professional boxing. The Mexican politician retired with a perfect record of 12-0, knocked out every opponent he faced, and finished his entire career in just 15 rounds.
On paper, this looks like one of the most devastating runs the sport has ever seen. In fact, many boxing fans wondered if they even believed it.
Perfect record
Kahwagi turned professional in 2001, despite having no boxing experience. Over the next fourteen years, he set an undefeated record, won regional titles, and never once heard the final bell.
Twelve fights brought twelve victories. All twelve victories were by knockout in just fifteen rounds.
The numbers are tough to understand even now.
Several of Kahwagi’s opponents entered the ring in defeat. Others seemed hopelessly outmatched.
But the record continued to grow as the politician and businessman rose through the cruiserweight ranks without ever being seriously tested.
By the time he retired in 2015 after returning from a ten-year hiatus for one final fight, Kahwagi owned one of boxing’s most remarkable undefeated records.
Why fans never bought it
The controversy surrounding Kahwaga was not in itself. This is how some of these victories turned out.
His last fight against Ramon Olivas remains the fight most frequently mentioned in discussions about Kahwagi’s career. The break came after seemingly minimal contact, prompting criticism from fans and observers.
Doubts have already surrounded previous victories, including the victory over veteran Roberto Coelho.
Whether these doubts were justified or not, the damage was done and many fans never accepted Kahwagi’s record at face value.
Boxing has seen this before
Kahwagi’s record may be extraordinary, but in boxing there is always controversy when it comes to results.
As WBN reports, while John Riel Casimero faces a fight-fixing investigation in 2025, debates continue to arise in the contemporary era about what happens inside the ropes.
Long before that, Roy Jones Jr. denied winning Olympic gold in Seoul despite dominating Park Si-hun in what many still consider the greatest heist in boxing history.
More than thirty years later, Park returned the medal to Jones.
The Kahwagi case falls into a different category, but the result is often the same. Once fans stop believing what they’re watching, the debate never really stops.
Still one of the strangest
Few fighters retire with a perfect record, and even fewer retire after every knockout victory.
Kahwagi handled both, finishing his entire professional career in just 15 innings, and those numbers remain remarkable.
More than a decade after his retirement, the debate surrounding his record has never really died down.
That’s why Jorge Kahwagi’s perfect 12-0 record remains one of the strangest in boxing history.
