IBF criticized the audience’s boxing for Chisora-Walllin fighting the eliminator of the title. Chisora ​​had a 3-4 record in his seven previous fights, entering the title of IBF Eliminator against Wallin, and his recent victories were against 39-year-old Joe Joyce and 42-year-old Gerald Washington.

These were not solid victories for the fight to be an eliminator of the title. Joyce lost two of the previous three fights before the fight against Chisora, and was seen as damaged goods after Zhilei Zhang knocked out twice.

Despite the fact that he is a journeyman with 13 losses, Chisora ​​is a millionaire. The sun reports that its net value is nearby $ 12 million from his long 18-year career.

Ryan Garcia was officially cleaned to fight Rolando Romero.

Recent York State Athletic Commission suspended Garcia to an unsuccessful drug test after winning the decision with Devin Haney. But just before the fight with May 2 with Romero to Times Square, Nysac officially raised the suspension.

“The suspension has been lifted because all the terms of the consent order have been met,” said the spokesman for the ESPN.

The victory was annulled to the NO competition, and Garcia was suspended in the competition for one year, affected by a fine of USD 10,000 and forced to lose the entire Haney bag after finding a forbidden Ostaryn substance in samples collected by the voluntary funeral association (VADA). Haney filed a civil lawsuit against Garcia and received an undisclosed part of the Garcia purse.

26 -year -old Garcia spent the last year, performing suspension conditions, including submission to randomized drug tests. Now, based on the suspension, Garcia, the card header on May 2 against Romero, while Haney will compete in the Co-Maan event against Jose Ramirez Jr. The expectation that the rematch between Garcia and Haney will take place this year if they both win their fights.

Another title defense WBO WBO WBO WWETWEIGHT Brian Norman JR against Jin Sasaki is in the works of June 19 in Tokyo, Japan.

WBO 147-LB Champion, Norman Jr. (27-0, 21 KO), which is understandable to focus on receiving The best paid warriort available. Norman Jr. He perceives this fight with Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KO) as a way to escalate his international charm, earn good money and build a star.

Jake Donovan reports The fact that Norman JR-Sasaki would be a star of Cristian Aranets fighting with Thanongsak Simsri on Undercard. These two would fight for the free belt Flyight IBF junior weighing.

Deadlock

Norman Jr. And his dad, Brian Sr., hoped to unite the fight with the united welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis, but it does not look like this fight was execut. Promoter Boots, Eddie Hearn, decided not to meet the starting price of Norman JR in September last year. The Matchroom Hearn promoter was relentless thanks to his negotiations, choosing not increasing the offer from $ 1.7 million to $ 2.2 million.

This stubbornness from Hearn shows that he expects him to get Norman Jr. At the price of a discount for the opportunity. It will never work. Ennis has to wake up and feel coffee and realize that he will not have the opportunity to fight for further unification fights for achieving his abandonment, which he is, he will be the undisputed welterweight champion.

The way Hearn talked from Jaron’s victory over the WBA champion 147-lb Eimantas Stanionis on April 12, does not intend to offer Norman Jr. The type of money he hopes to get for unification. In other words, he is perceived as a pretender than a master. This will not work for Norman Jr. and his father, Brian Sr.

Norman Jr. He did not mention the type of money he is waiting for the fight against Ennis shoes, but his original starting price of $ 2.2 million probably increased to $ 3 million. Hearn kicks that he will not pay for what Brian Jr. asked for, because this low price probably no longer exists.

Sasaki profile

The Japanese, 23-year-old Saski, did not fight many significant fighters during his seven-year professional career. Four years ago, Sasaki was knocked out in the eleventh round by the invincible Andy Hiraoka on October 19, 2021.

Jin was dominated by the senior warrior Hiraoka during the fight, losing almost every round before he stopped in round 11. However, Sasaki was only 19 years antique and too newborn to take a polished warrior like Hiraoka. Eight of the last nine fights won from this fight. The only flaw appeared in the six -curing with Kotaro Sekine in 2022.
