Vergil Ortiz Jr. He says he wants to see Errol Spence for retirement because he feels that the combination of his car disaster in 2019 and his loss from Terenka Crawford took a lot of him.

Errol did not retire, but his time outside the ring is ahead of him in this category. It doesn’t matter that he has not announced his pension. He doesn’t fight, so he might as well retire. They were a unified semi-edible master, Spence (28-1, 22 KO), he has not fought for two years since his ninth knockout defeat with Crawford on July 29, 2023.

Retirement connection

Exit from the ring so long after what 35-year-old Spence has gone through over the past six years. Spence had eye injuries and weight problems. He tends to great between the fights, which has been reflected on him.

“I don’t think Errol will fight again. I say this as a warrior who really looked at him at the same gym. I think he finished – said Vergil Ortiz Jr. to Brian Campbell YouTube Channel, saying that he thinks that Errol Spence should retire. “I don’t want him to fight again, not really, only because of his health problems.

“He already had a car accident [on October 10, 2019 in Dallas, Texas]And he had a bad night against Crawford. If he earned the money he needed, he no longer needs any to survive and can live comfortably and then retire. I really don’t want him to fight again as a friend. “

Spence earned a lot of money during his career. If it were not so, he would actually return to the ring out of necessity. Hungry fighters usually remain busy. This wealthy are inactive.

“I don’t think anyone knew Muratazaliev, at least here in the States. Everyone watched him for the first time. We all assumed that Tim [Tszyu] He intended to do something Tim. I was shocked, “said Vergil Jr about the former WBO Master Junior Medium weight Tima Tarest in the third round of the four-day performance by the IBF master 154-lb Bakhram Murtazaliev on October 19 last year.

“I didn’t expect it at all. I thought, “This guy is good. This makes me even more excited. This is another good warrior before whom I can test my skills, “said Ortiz Jr.

Vergil Jr. He holds a 12-round unanimous victorious decision over Israil Madrimov on February 22 in Riyjad. After the fight, he said he wanted to fight for the title of world champion. However, the two names he mentioned, Terenka Crawford and Sebastian Fund, are not for him.

One guy he can fight, champion IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev does not seem willing to fight. Indeed, in the above interview, Ortiz Jr. He said that he would be interested in fighting Tim Tziu, even though he took a loss with Nokaut Murtazaliev.

He would prefer to fight Tisz when he lost him than the invincible Murtazaliev. Think about it a bit. Shows how much orthosis Jr. I respect Murtazaliev. Vergil Jr has consumed many penalties in his last two fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuki.

After both fights he looked more beaten than his opponents. He will learn that the warriors in 154 hit more than him, and cannot escape with the same high pressure style he used in a welterweight.

Bakhram has a type of power that not only marks Vergil Jr., but will throw him away. If he believed in himself, he would not hesitate to direct Murtazaliev because he would give him the title of world champion he needs to get more fights. WBC Ortiz JR short-lived belt does not count much. It might as well be work for a trinket.

Image: Filip Hrgovic Says Dave Allen Has “Loser Mentality”

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.

Oleksandr Usyk will immediately be stripped of world title if he loses to Verhoeven

The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.

The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.

The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.

The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:

1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.

2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.

After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.

Shakur Stevenson not in a hurry to face O'Shaquie Foster.

Some praised Foster’s conditioning and predicted a good performance against Ford, while others doubted whether the WBC super featherweight champion would pull too much weight before the defense.

Foster rarely receives as much attention as some of the bigger names in the lower weight classes, but a viral photo has brought him back into the conversation online. Fans debated whether Ford would be able to handle Foster’s strength and physicality after moving from featherweight to fighting.

The fight was already generating attention due to the Houston setting and the tension between the two fighters online, but Foster’s photo from training sparked even more discussion about the DAZN card. Houston fans are expected to turn out in immense numbers for the event at the Fertitta Center, which will be one of the biggest hometown shows of Foster’s career.

Foster gained more attention after his victory over Stephen Fulton, with many fans hoping he would stay at lightweight and continue pushing for a fight with Shakur Stevenson.

Instead, Foster returned to 130 pounds, and talk of fighting Stevenson gradually died down.

A powerful performance against Ford could change that quickly, especially if Foster delivers the kind of performance fans now expect after seeing the state he appears to be in heading into the fight.
