Promoter Eddie Hearn is not ready to say if Ennis Jaron “Boots” will stay in 147 to fight Teofimo Lopez or move to 154 if he cannot get the clash of the unification he wants. Hearn says that he favors Ennis (34-0, 30 KO), remaining in the welterweight and fighting with Teofimo.

Two welterurous champions, which Ennis must fight to become unquestioned, are busy defense against other warriors and it is doubtful whether Hearn can offer them enough money without the involvement of Saudis.

Hearn weighs ennis options

“We talked to his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] About shoes vs. Teofimo. I think it was originally in October. It could be August – said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tv. “We like the fight. I think about shoes, after [Karen] Chukhadzhian fight, he really considered moving to 154.

Hearn, of course, knows the answer about whether Ennis will remain at the age of 147 or move to 154. Shoes would be a great favorite against Teofimo Lopez, and his advantage of greatness would make his work easier. Going to 154, Ennis would not be greater than his whole opposition and would have to rely more on his boxing skills.

” [Eimantas] The struggle of the unification of Stanionis appeared and it was him [Ennis] that he wanted to do more than anything else. So we did it. We performed really well in this fight. So now it is like this: “Do I stay at 147 or 154? What are my options? Can you get another lane? I say:” At the moment Brian Norman is on the missing list. He disappears with Japan to fight [against Jin Sasaki]and Pacquiao is fighting [WBC welterweight champion] Barrios. So it’s not the answer.

“Okay, well, so what did we receive at the age of 154?” In that case, the unexpected fight of Teofimo Lopez. “Of course, the money is good and the profile is good. So my answer is: if Jaron stays at the age of 147, I think there is a very good chance that he is fighting Teofimo Lopez. I think that if he does not fight Teofiimo, it will probably go to 154.”

What will keep Ennis at 147 until the bitter end is a danger at the age of 154 and fear of the unknown. He doesn’t know how good he will do in this weight class, because this is a different story than what he got used to the fight in the branch in welterweight. If the shoes knew that he could survive everyone at the age of 154, as he did in welterweight, he would move up.

Teofimo: Stopgap?

“He also has a mandatory Shakhram Giyasov. The key to him is unification. He did it. In the perfect world he would fight with all other masters very quickly, but we are not always playing like that. We are not under pressure,” said Hearn. “Only during the Teofimo fight, and it really happened three or four days ago, where:” Do you want to do it? ” We negotiate and that’s what we do. “

Ennis will have to pay his mandatory WBA Giyasov if he decides to fight Teofimo. There is no way that Ennis does not leave, and he will not do it unless he goes to 154. Realistically, shoes should fight his mandatory Giyasov, but this is a hard fight, and the money would not be huge.

“It’s a huge fight. It’s a great fight. My recommendation for Jaron is that if we stay, I think we should definitely consider it. I don’t know. As I understand, his contract is on the spot with Saudis. Our contract is not. Of course we are a champion in this fight,” said Hearn.

Ennis, of course, hesitates before moving to 154. So he will fight Teofimo if he cannot get matches of the union that he wants against the champion of WBC Mario Barrios or Master of STO Bian Norman Jr. Jr., Bakham Murtazalov, Sebastian, Tom, will fight the foundon Tim, Tim, Tim, will fight time, time, time. Tsyzyu or Serhia Bohachuk. It can lose.

“So, in general, the contender will receive less money, but we will have to see what the offer is and see if it is something he wants to do. In the perfect world he wants to unite,” said Hearn, asked if Ennis is “scorching or frigid” for the fight with Teofimo. Boots is a very refreshing figure in terms of heritage over money. Of course, money is vital to him, but what is vital to him is proved against masters and the best.

Ennis would like to unite in welterweight, but he realizes that now he can take too long to have a chance to fight the other two masters, Mario Barrios and Brian Norman Jr. It is not worth that the shoes lose their years, trying to get the other two lanes.

“So I wouldn’t say that teo fights like him say,” Oh, wow. I can fight. ” You know, “yes, I take him well. I think more than likely riyadh,” said Hearn about the fight ennis vs. Lopez.

While Turks Alalshikh is not involved in getting Ennis to get the struggle of Unification with Brian Norman Jr. And Mario Barrios, these fights may never happen. Hearn does not intend to come up with three or four million. He won’t want to risk it.

“Why?” Hearn said, asked why the fight cannot take place in the US: “There is a different world, not only in America. Yes, at the same time it is a huge fight in Riyadh. I understand it. I know that we can lead this fight in Philadelphia and do 21,000 in Wells Fargo. But also at the same time, we must understand that boxing goes through growth in other thermories.”

It may be better for boots vs. Teofimo fought abroad in Riyadh than in the USA, because if Teofimo just goes to the clown, as he did at the Times Square party, it was best in America. He made his fight really tedious against Arnold Barboz Jr. At the beginning of this month on May 2.

“We must let this augment happen, not only:” Oh, we can’t fight there. It’s outrageous, “said Hearn.

Well, of course, Hearn will not say that fight for Ennis-Lopz, if Turks Alalshikh finances it. He will decide on the place where he wants to put up the competition.

Manny Pacquiao confirmed today in social media that he is planning to retire from a pension to challenge Mario Barrios for his WBC welterweight title on July 19 at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Pacquiao, 46, wants to become a world champion again.

The Pacquiao reaction obtained an immediate title shot after four years of inactivity, was huge. Fans do not like the idea that the Filipino star was inserted in 5th place by WBC and winning the title in its first fight since 2021.

Return Pacquiao

Fans suspect that he is coming back for money, seeing that older Shopworn fighters make absurd amounts of cake for their fights. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are an example of this.

Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) is seen as A Master of paper At 147 by many fans. So Manny (62-8-2, 39 KO) chose the perfect belt handle to try to win the belt in his return. The aged promoter Pacquiao, Bob Arum, does not think that a good idea for him is a fight at his age, and is concerned about the possibility of being hurt.

The former opponent of Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, says that Mario Barrios could “end” him, sending him back to retirement. He does not think that manny will cope with much younger, competent 29-year-old Barrios at his age.

Even if Pacquiao wins, how much loan will he receive for defeating Barrios? It will not be as much as he or his fans think. Barrios probably lost his last fight against the pretender to Fringe Abel Ramos in November last year at Arlington, Texas. The fight was captured as a 12-round draw, but many boxing fans won Ramos, including me.

Barrios’ earlier defeats were against Keith Thurman and the lithe Gervont Davis. Thurman was outside the ring for over 2 years when he fought Barrio.

Josh Taylor has questions he must answer to become a world champion in two weight

Published

on

Josh Taylor sits in the heated sun baking during the last days of the camp.

It looks functional, confident and maybe a little tanned.

“I went from airy blue to the red lobbling, so I hope it turns into some tan,” says ESPN with a radiant smile.

Tan or not, they were the undisputed champion of the welterweight champion, looks in the highest condition, partly thanks to his transition to a welterweight, where he has a few pounds to play.

Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) claims that he had no problems earning 140 pounds in the ward he conquered. But, as in the case of every warrior, the time will come when moving up in the amount of the amount, and the 34-year-old can feel the difference by preparing for Zobut in 147 against Ekow Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) in Glasgow on Saturday [DAZN, 10 p.m. BST].

“I am basically my natural weight. I am now a few pounds, which is nothing. I am and I am full of energy and I am full of beans,” says Taylor.

Do not worry about limiting the last few pounds before weighing, which can be a brutal process.

Without a sauna, without sweat suits, no drainage.

Essuman will be a complex enough test for Taylor in his fourth fight for four years. Scot wants to become a world champion in two importance and as one of the best fighters in Great Britain, this is not a misunderstanding. But he needs a convincing victory to prove that he can compete with the best in what is now arranged.

“Get a victory this weekend, and then I am in a mixture of great welterweight fights, but I do not think about it because Ekow is a very complex test,” he explains.

“He tried and tested … there is a British community and master, so I will have full hands.”

Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Devin Haney, Mario Barrios and Conor Benn are just a few names of Taylor he dreams about if he shows that he is still at the elite level.

But there are questions that require answers.

Is he still hungry?

He was in some brutal wars and blooms when his fights are at a feverish pace that had to be toll.

How did he affect him? Six of his last seven fights went a distance, so how will his body react to climbing up again?

The second question that follows him until he disconnects the gloves: what about Jacek Cattell? The couple divided two brutal clashes, winning one.

“It’s one piece officially. I’m glad that I can go further and leave it where it is,” says Taylor.

“I was ready for the third, but they were not interested because they thought he would get the world championship title, but he was defeated [Arnold Barboza Jr.].

“I am on my own path now. I want to become a world champion in two weight. If the fight returns and is tasty enough in terms of numbers, I am having it because it is one for art and it would be good to resolve the result.”

Inside Henhouse: “reconnaissance” by Bill Haney in the Richardson Hitchins gym

Image: "Not Chasing Zero," But Chasing Another Loss? Kambosos Jr.'s Bold Talk Masks Questionable Title Shot Against Hitchins

Venerable Fox, Bill Haney, was today in Henhouse, at the reconnaissance mission in the Richardson Hitchins gym against the defense of his IBF welterweight title against George Cambosos Jr. June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York. Bill claims that he was on vacation, but now he returned, looking for competition, storing knowledge for future opponents for his son, Devin Haney, to fight.

Haney needs a solid win for fans to forget about their shy performance against Jose Ramirez on the card on May 2. The fight, which Bill and Devin thought they would have against Ryan Garcia in October, seems to raise in smoke because of the way they performed on the Times Squad card. However, Hitchins is not an opponent who Haney must regain his credibility. He needs someone like Brian Norman Jr, Jaron Ennis or Shakhram Giyasov.

Bill Haney: Scouting Mission

Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) fights one of Devin’s victims, Cambosos Jr. (22-3, 10 KO), whom he defeated twice in 2022 to become the undisputed champion of lightweight. It was Haney’s best victory and since then he was unable to compare it in his three fights.

In a very criticized move, Richardson rejected the fight with the former IBF 140-LB champion Subriel Matias for the fight against Cambosos. The praise that Hitchins briefly got for defeating Liam Paro to capture the title of IBF in December last year, she evaporated day by day after he rejected the fight with Matias. Fans perceived it as a duck, which is quite an true view. When you reject the fight with Subriel in favor of 2-3 Cambosos, there is no other way to interpret the movement.

Hitchins hardly tried to build the name of Cambosos to seem more credible in the eyes of public opinion. It almost sounds like he was a Cambosos promoter with glazing he made.

Richardson Hitchins: “No, he doesn’t want to do it,” said Hitchins Warrior When he said he heard that Devin Haney wanted to go back to 140. “Since I had become [IBF light welterweight] Master, Haney pulled out the fuck. “

Bill Haney: “I’ll tell you one thing. I was on vacation, but now I came back. I spirish. Yes, I am looking for a master [Hitchins]. “

Hitchins: “June 14, I will show him what his son [Devin] He should have done George Cambosos. What he did was chilly, boxing and anything. What I do with one of his best won his son will be nasty. We intend to wake him up with this fight, “Hitchins said when he said that the Times Square card in Recent York, for which Haney fought, is” monotonous “.

Bill: “Just be careful. Eat easily, eat wisely, because Cambosos is not effortless to chew. Devin looked like this. Cambosos is a good warrior. I expect a good match between two extremely talented warriors and I will watch here. But now I’m looking.”
