Hearn is trying to quickly unify Ennis – Norman Jr., faces resistance from the Norman Jr. team.
Published

Eddie Hearn says he wanted to “lock“WBO Master of welterweight, Brian Norman Jr. In the unification agreement at the moment to clash with IBF and WBO Champ Jaron” Boots “Ennis, but Normana Jr. He told him that they wanted to wait for Jin Sasaki in June.
Hearn says that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) can face Teofimo Lopez because Turks Alalshikh wants her to fight so. He says WBA obligatory Shakhram Giyasov “It’s not a fight we really want“For Ennis. Hearn suggests that they will organize a contract for Giyasov, to go aside, so that Ennis can fight Norman Jr. or, more likely, Teofimo then.
The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, states that Boots only want “belts and union”. Defense defense is not what he wants. He does not say whether Ennis will continue to take steps with Giyasov or other obligatory pretenders who pop up until he reaches the purpose of being the undisputed champion at the age of 147.
ENNIS probably do to accelerate the process of non -questioning immediately or suffering losses along the way. If the master can escape from extreme unsafe contenders, this is a great way to avoid beating and rapidly capturing belts against tender masters. However, this is a bad precedent when the masters can do it because it is not sporty.
“Blocking” discount?
“He is [Brian Norman Jr.] Absolutely available now. We submitted them to the offer last week. And we even said to them: “If you take this fight [Jin Sasaki]IN Let’s close the fight After that, October, November, December, whenever, “said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About how he recently tried to configure the union between his warrior Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Brian Norman Jr.
“And they [Team Norman Jr.] He returned and said: “We don’t want to talk about any other fight until we fight.” So I don’t know. We cannot rely on Brian Norman Jr., who chased any size because the purse is outraged in terms of what he created. This is a huge purse in terms of what we offered him, “said Hearn.
Why Norman Jr. would like to negotiate the fight against Boots Ennis before the fight against Jin Sasaki on June 19 in Tokyo, Japan? The value of Norman JR may raise rapidly after this fight if it looked spectacular against Sasaki, and then he would be worth a lot more money in the fight against Ennis. That Hearn would try to quickly negotiate a contract with Norman Jr. To get low-cost, before its value increases. This is the crafty move of Hearna. Norman Jr. He doesn’t fall in love with this. They were not born yesterday and they know what this game is about.
“We don’t want to fight”
“We have mandatory Shakhram Giyasov [for Boots Ennis’ WBA title]IN which is not really the fight we wantBut we understand his position. He moved to the side to let [Eimantas] Stanionis is fighting, and then the second fight is Teofimo Lopez, and his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] It seems that we want us to take – said Hearn.
As you can see here, Hearn already says that Giyasov will be avoided so that the shoes can take another fight. If he does not want to defend against his mandatory contenders, he must leave or deprive himself of his WBA or IBF title, if he also begins to avoid defense against their mandatory pretenders. I know Ennis wants a surface trick After capturing the undisputed at 147, but what is the achievement if you avoided fighting the obligatory pretenders on the whole road? This is one of the problems that are bad in boxing.
When popular masters win titles, they twist their main competitions, looking for defense against their obligatory pretenders. One example was Canelo Alvarez, who did not defend against David Benavidez when he was his mandatory WBC for two years. This happens with Ennis shoes, avoiding the mandatory WBA Giyasov.
“Teo called it. I love the fight in terms of our skills, our chances of winning this fight. I think it’s a good fight profile,” said Hearn. “Jaron is very clear in terms of what he wants. Belts, union and unquestioned. So when I talk to him about Teo’s fight, it’s a bit like: “Yes, I don’t mind, but what about the titles?”
It doesn’t matter what shoes want. He has mandatory duties if he wants to keep his titles. You don’t win them without having to defend the titles by choosing a fight with anyone you want. Hearn suggests that Ennis will twist his mandatory WBA Giyasova and will either fight at the business level with a smaller, player with a low Teofimo exit, or less likely, fight union against Norman Jr. Giyasov for the second time in a row after he was defeated with the Stanionis unification clash.
Paying to avoid competition
“So if we can’t get the title and If there is a way to deal with Shakhram Giyasov, Regardless of whether in the meantime or anything else, we are open to the fight of Teofimo Lopez. I think it’s a great fight and respect for Teo, if he wants to jump and take it, “said Hearn.
Ennis should fight his obligatory pretenders. What is the master that he bypasses his mandatory duties and only fights with great money with such as Teofimo or united matches? Jaron wants to become the undisputed champion in the age of 147; He should deal with his obligatory pretenders, like any other master, and not have special treatment to twist them to facilitate work.
If Ennis already does this in welterweight, you can bet that he will do the same at the age of 154 if he gets one of the titles. Theoretically, the shoes could twist the ranking of younger killers in medium weight, such as Vergil Ortiz Jr., Israil Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk, if he manages to capture one of the titles aged 154.
Just Pay them a step away from each other forever. It shows what a warrior can do after supporting a lot of money. When they win the title of world champion, they can twist any of the unsafe compulsory rivals to choose and choose various warriors or masters they want to fight. It’s anti -porting. Imagine for a second what the NBA or NFL team could do if they could pay the main competition to go aside so that they could exploit effortless games. What would leagues be?
“He is [Giyasov] He is our warrior. He is our friend. One thing that we will not do is to be wise and release people, “said Hearn, when Mannix said that Giyasov had already made a favor, pushing to the side to allow him to be able to face the WBA Stanionis master in unification, and not insisting. [Note: Hearn hinting about another step aside deal for Giyasov]. “
Here you go. Hearn suggests a great time that he intends to offer a unsafe Giyasova the next step to the side to get him out of the way so that Ennis shoes can either fight the match of union with Norman Jr., and more likely, a lucrative start with Teofimo Lopez, who says that Turki wants. Giyasov is a more risky version of Karen Chukhadzhian and everything is fine for Ennis, which is struggling with highly qualified Eastern European warriors.

While it’s true that many female boxers contributed to the golden age of women’s boxing, you can’t talk about the rise of women in the world of the sweet science without mentioning Katie Taylor, who is reported to be set to sing her swan song when she takes on Floa Pili. Taylor is undoubtedly a legend of the sport. After all, she won eight world titles and competed in some of the most stimulating matches you will find… among both male and female boxers. In miniature, Taylor helped accomplish what some thought was impossible. And that makes women’s boxing must-see TV.
I remember seeing Taylor fight live at the Boston Garden a while back. That was the only time I saw Taylor get incensed. Her opponent simply didn’t want to engage and it was clear that Taylor was annoyed. After all, this was Boston with a huge Irish crowd. Even Conor McGregor was there. Taylor wanted to impress and was not allowed to do so due to her opponent’s inactivity. But that night she didn’t mock her opponent or show any irritation. She simply raised her hand, showed her irritation, and went on with her business. Then she won the fight.
However, it was Taylor’s epic trilogy against Amanda Serrano that truly proved to be the standout moment for the Irish compatriot. I marked both the first Taylor-Serrano fight and the second Taylor-Serrano fight as fights of the year on Boxing Insider. They were so good. Indeed, there were moments in these fights that reminded me of Hagler-Hearns. That my friends are highly praised by everyone, especially by venerable time fight fans.
It’s infrequent to see two fighters give their all as these two women did in these three fights. These were bloody, bruising, high-octane events, the kind of sporting events that make you wonder how far each combatant will kick. And yet they kept digging. Digging. While it’s true that the third fight wasn’t as stimulating as the first two, these first two fights should be watched as long as you watch boxing. They really were that good. In fact, the first two fights could have ended with any result. While Serrano has never beaten Taylor, there is no doubt that she could. And Taylor probably wouldn’t complain.
That’s because Taylor is a real athlete. I respect this sport. It respects its opponents and is grounded in reality. There isn’t enough of that in current boxing and we will miss it when Taylor leaves the ring. Still, the woman deserves to retire. She has earned every penny she has in the bank, every title she has won and every accolade she has received. It’s one thing to slavishly worship someone, but it’s another thing to show true, well-deserved praise.
It’s almost amazing that Taylor, 39, has fought for so long. She had raw talent full of energy that was polished into an icy, effective style. Overall, it was very enjoyable to watch. And it’ll probably be fun to watch her in her final fight, too. Let’s hope he enjoys his time outside the ring. He certainly deserves the rest and relaxation that he will strive for. There are of course many other great players, both male and female, but when someone has left the mark that Taylor is leaving, it’s time to give credit where it’s due. She will be missed.
Aylor would complain.

Brown, WBC USA Silver super welterweight champion, and undefeated southpaw Vieira engaged in a competitive fight that featured contrasting styles. Vieira consistently pressed the action and dictated the pace, while Brown looked to employ counter-attacks and keen combinations.
Vieira found success early on, outworking Brown and keeping him defensive. Brown responded in the middle rounds, finding openings on counters as the fight turned into a tactical battle between aggression and precision.
The fight was fierce until the final rounds. Vieira continued to apply pressure and appeared to be finishing strongly, with Brown counter-attacking effectively enough to put the match into question.
After eight rounds, the judges scored it 77-75 for Brown, 80-72 for Vieira and 76-76, resulting in a split draw.
In their co-fight, undefeated Shea “Showtime” Willcox improved to 8-0 with a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Salvatore Pugliares.
Willcox controlled the action from the opening bell and scored three knockdowns, including two in the fourth round. Pugliares spent most of the fight moving around the ring trying to avoid exchanges, but Willcox remained patient and consistently landed cleaner punches. All three judges scored the fight 60-51.
Former heavyweight Cassius Chaney returned to the win column with a third-round stoppage of Harold Roy.
After controlling the first two rounds, Chaney hurt Roy with a right uppercut midway through the third and scored a knockdown. Moments later, a left uppercut sent Roy to the ground again, prompting the referee to wave his hand and dismiss the fight.
Among the local fighters in action, Giovanni Daley remained undefeated after a six-round unanimous decision over Stephen Davis, while Bobby Laing improved to 4-0 after being dropped in the fourth round en route to a unanimous decision victory over Jayson Colon.
Peter Campbell needed less than one round to stop Zachary Calmus, dropping him twice before the referee stopped the fight. Michael McIntosh won his professional debut with a four-round unanimous decision over Steven Farrar.
Elsewhere, Robinson Perez stopped Ayo Martins in the first round of their heavyweight fight, and Billy Cosgrove scored a unanimous decision victory over Nicholas Locantore in his professional debut.

Undefeated heavyweight KO artist is ‘leading option’ to fight Tyson Fury ahead of fight with Joshua

Tyson Fury is ready to put his highly anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua at risk by facing an undefeated opponent in the meantime.
Ahead of what many still consider the biggest fight in boxing, Joshua signed up for the warm-up and it was confirmed that he would face Albanian Kristian Prenga 20-1 (20 KO) on July 25 in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Fury had initially hoped to meet ‘AJ’ in the summer, not allowing his rival the luxury of an earlier competition. However, after the fight was postponed, “The Gypsy King” confirmed that he would have his own outing, setting a three-fight schedule for 2026.
While an opponent has not yet been officially announced, Boxing News understands that Fury will likely face another Albanian heavyweight in Nelson Hysa. The 41-year-old set a record of 24 fights without defeat, including 22 victories at the distance.
Hysa – considered a leading option, although a contract has not yet been signed – is both a regular sparring partner and promotional companion for Fury’s stable, having signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions last year. The Shkodër-born heavyweight is also considered a major ticket seller in London.
“The Gypsy King” previously announced that it would return on August 1 in Dublin, likely for the Pierce O’Leary vs. Mark Chamberlain fight if that is the date, but could also appear later in the month.
