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.

Major update on Conor Benn’s next fight: ‘We’re targeting him right now’

Major update provided on Conor Benn’s next fight: “We’re targeting him right now”

Conor Benn’s manager has provided an update on Ryan Garcia’s situation, admitting there is a possibility of negotiations “falling apart” in the coming weeks.

Talks about their potential reunion are apparently progressing gradually, with the pair expected to fight for Garcia’s WBC welterweight world title later this year.

The 27-year-old won the belt in February dethroning Mario Barrios by majority unanimous decision after knocking down his fighter in the first round.

It was his first victory since 2023, and the American’s previous two appearances ended with a points defeat against Rolando Romero and a no-contest against Devin Haney.

Between these two fights, Garcia received a one-year ban after testing positive for the banned substance ostarine, which called into question the credibility of his performance against Haney.

Benn also previously tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance – specifically clomiphene – but nonetheless emerged as a top contender for the WBC 147-pound title.

After missing the weight since 2022, the 29-year-old is coming off a 10-round points victory over the retired Regis Prograis, whom he fought at the 150-pound catchweight on the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov fight last month.

Benn has since doubled down on his desire to face Garcia, while manager Keith Connolly told Boxing News the odds of the fight happening are basically 50/50.

“We are in negotiations [Garcia-Benn]along with several other large fights. I’ve seen it happen; I saw it fall apart, but right now we’re focused on this fight.

“I think it’s a great fight for both fighters. It will be a huge fight if it takes place here [in the UK] and it will be a fierce battle in which it is fought [Las] Vegas. It’s a sale wherever it goes.

“I think we’ll know in the next few weeks where we’re going, but it’s definitely a fight we want.”

Benn’s victory over Prograis followed his middleweight triumph over Chris Eubank Jr in November, when “The Destroyer” gained revenge after losing their opening bout by unanimous decision.

Devin Haney still on Keyshawn Davis’ radar after victory

Image: Devin Haney Still On Keyshawn Davis’ Radar After Win

Keyshawn Davis says he still doesn’t know why a fight never broke out with Devin Haney after talks between both camps earlier this year.

Davis was talking about Haney after he dominated Nahir Albright for 12 rounds on Saturday night in Norfolk. Although Keyshawn won a wide unanimous decision over Albright, he later admitted that he had been in bigger fights before the rematch was finalized.


“I went up to Bill in January and he told me to keep my word after the fight,” Keyshawn later told the media. “Why it didn’t happen, I don’t know.”

Davis also revealed that he tried to secure fights with Lamont Roach Jr. and Oscar Duarte before returning to fight Albright.

“I was on the phone with Lamont Roach trying to make this happen,” Davis said. “I also tried to contact Oscar Duarte.”

The Norfolk native made it clear after the fight that he viewed a rematch with Albright as an inferior option compared to the opponents he originally wanted.

“I wanted to fight a better opponent,” Davis said. “He’s actually a decent player. He’s just not at the highest level.”

Davis dominated most of the rematch despite a two-point deduction after Albright hit the clinch in the seventh round. He controlled the action with faster hands, cleaner combinations and stronger work towards the end of the fight.

After the victory, Davis reiterated that he is open to more fights with bigger names.

“Whoever wants to fight the businessman, let them do it,” Davis said.

Filip Hrgovic sends direct warning to Moses Itauma after stopping Dave Allen in 3 rounds

Filip Hrgovic made it basic for Dave Allen and took advantage of the moments after the fight to send a chilling message to rising star Moses Itauma.

Doncaster fans were unable to lift hometown hero Allen to the level of Hrgovic, who dominated from the opening bell until coach Jamie Moore threw in the towel to spare his players another day.

Croatian Hrgovic quickly apologized to the fans in the stadium.

“I’m sorry guys. I know I’m not the favorite guy here. That’s the way it is, that’s boxing. Thank you to Dave Allen, his team, Queensberry and DAZN for this event. I’m pushing forward to become the heavyweight champion of the world.

“I started quickly because I saw all my punches connecting. He was very awkward from the beginning, so I wanted to finish him quickly to make a statement.”

Hrgovic then immediately focused on what would come after three dominant rounds and weighed in on the matter there are rumors that he will soon have the opportunity to face Itauma in August.

“I want to fight anyone in the division. Moses, anyone. I just have to sit down with the manager and the team, see if there are any injuries or cuts. Give me a mirror, I’ll sign a contract now… I never run away from any opponent… Listen, if I’m fit, there’s no problem for me. We have to see what’s going on. I need to rest. Moses will never make it to the promised land. Do you know what I mean?”

Promoter George Warren has made it clear that Itauma-Hrgovic is the target, but he is aware that the next few days will be crucial to see if the schedule is right for the Croatian, who had a miniature cut on his skin before going to the towel.

“Yes, we can… This fight is already here. Finished. Filip, when he re-signed with Queensberry, was left on the contract on the basis that this fight was one of the options we could offer him. As he said, he has a slight scratch in his eye and he needs to go and make sure everything is OK.

“Moses is booked for August. As soon as we get back to the office next week, that’s my job. To finish and announce this fight. This guy is a world-class operator and if Moses wants to be world champion, Filip wants to be world champion; they’re going to have to deal with it at some point, so let’s deal with it now.”
