Promoter Eddie Hearn says he wants to fight between the unbeaten Andy Cruz and the featherlight champion WBO Keyshawn Davis. Promoter Matchroom, Hearn, states that Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) has no one who is available to fight outside his nemesis, Cruz (5-0, 2 KO).

Keyshawn won the WBO 135-pound belt last month, knocking out the master of Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round of February 14 at Madison Square Garden in Fresh York. Although Davis talked about how to be a novel WBO champion will change his life in terms of great fights on his knees, how Isaac “Pitbull” CruzIt didn’t happen.
While the highest rank will not be a vast enough offer to lure Pitbull, there is no sufficiently popular enough to fight for Keyshawn. Maybe he doesn’t care. He never fought with the popular one since he changed the professional and spent most of his time talking about what life would look like when he defeats Gervont Davis one day. He always dreams.
Keyshawn does not want to build to fight the tank, aimed at the highest quality talents. He just wants to fight for a silver plate based on his wins on a lower level fighters.
Andy Cruz Fight
The most realistic struggle for Keyshawna is Andy Cruz, his four -time winner, but he will have to show courage because he did not want to fight the talented Cuban, because he became a professional in 2023. Cruz called him from the first day without happiness, and there is no other way to look at Keyshawn’s reluctance.
He was killed four times in amateurs by Cruz and realizes that he has never defeated him, no matter how substantial he is. Keyshawn looks like it will soon be an average weight because it is huge after he irrigates his fights. During the last fight with the petite 36-year-old Berinchyk resembled a younger average weight at night.
Penniless Berinchyk never had a chance for such a substantial guy. It is a pity that all four sanctioning bodies do not have a 10-pound hydration clause, such as IBF, because it prevents fighters who fight persecutors.
Cruz takes #1 wbc, #3 ibf, #3 wba and #9 wbo. Interestingly, Hearn does not press WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson to fight Cruz, but this is understandable. Hearn tries to determine the fight of Gervont Davis for Shakur, and the last thing he needs is that Andy Cruz beat him before he fights.
Eddi’s push
“We want to push Andy Cruz to a great fight.
“It’s also a great fight,” Hearn said that Floyd Schofield is an option for Andy Cruz. “Schofield missed the fight Shakur Stevenson. [Cruz] A little earlier.
“Of course he fought in January [against Omar Salcido]. May or June would be good for Andy – said Hearn.
Floyd Schofield would probably not like to fight Andy Cruz because he must know that Shakur Stevenson will finally look at his path and throw him bone. He will not want to spoil his chances of paying against Shakur, fighting Cruz and learning.
