Vladimir Klitschko holds “Close Eye” on Daniel Dubois-Joseph Parker

Published

on

Wednesday’s conversation with the promoter of the fight Tom Loeffler was very similar to the latest trading casino card, which he issued in southern California, when the round of entertainment club fights was accompanied by visits of Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, Callum Walsh and the owner of the Rafael Espinoza featherweight title.

You never knew who – or what – is coming.

Perhaps the most burning topic was our last, when Loeffler revealed that the former heavyweight champion Vladimir Klitschko expressed interest in the survival of George Foreman as the oldest heavyweight master of all time.

This means that Klitschko, who will be 49 years aged next month and does not fight from his defeat of TKO in 2017 by Anthony Joshua, will watch the Saturday title of IBF heavyweight champion between the newly matching Daniel Dubois and the former owner of the WBO title Joseph Parker in Arabia Saudi.

Turki Alalshikh, Saturday’s Saudi Arabia financing card, said that he wanted Klitschko to come back and fight for the belt.

“Vladimir carefully observes what is happening in the heavyweight division, and if it is possible to fight for the championship in hefty weight and break the record of George Foreman, I think it will definitely consider it,” said Loeffler.

“I know [Alalshikh] I would like to see him. It would be great to see Vladimir back in the ring this year, if everything was arranged. “

Loeffler estimates that Klitchsko would be “very interested” in the meeting of the winner of Dubois-Parker.

“Joseph Parker was one of the [Klitschko’s] Sparring partners back [Klitschko] He was the world champion, “said Loeffler. “He had great world -class sparring partners at the time, so either Dubois or Parker would be a great opponent for him. When it gives green lightweight, I will jump into action.

“Saturday will provide information about in which direction he can succeed.”

Loeffler is working on a Friday card at Chumash Casino, Santa Ynez, California, header by a 140-pound Cain Sandovala, 14-0 (12 KO), Filipino meetings Mark Bernaldez, 25-6 (18 KO).

“Cain is one of our emerging stars,” said Loeffler. “I just changed training with Freddie Roach. In the great division, we are not afraid to fight any names that we set for him. We have some high expectations for Cain and we think he is on the way to the world title in the next two years.

“He is a fighter with a blue collar, he has a lot of Fernando Vargas. An true fans base, he enters and likes to fight stimulating fights. He doesn’t dance and that’s why his fans base has really grown over the past two years. “

The card also includes demanding duels for the invincible fly weight Daniel “Chucky” Barrera and the invincible minimum hunting mass, Guadalupe “Lupita” Medina.

On the 360 ​​promotion card last month in trade Loeffler was satisfied with the star turnout of the title fighters, and even the legend of NFL in former Los Angeles Rams Jackie Slater equipment.

When other promoters withdrew from making repetitive cards from southern California, despite the fact that the area offers the sport of the most ardent American fans base, Loeffler said he was proud to offer a hospitable environment for everyone.

“This is what I like, going back to the times of” Superfly “, which we made with the fighters of other promoters, going out there, seeing the events of the rear flap, and that’s how I am with the warriors,” said Loeffler. “It was great to see how they come out and interact with them and fans.

“It’s a boxing habitat. … both places are great. Hardcore fight fans from the Ventura area go there and you can’t get closer to the center of Los Angeles than Commerce. Fans recognize the quality of programs as well as energy and emotions, which we apply to each program, and we sold each of them. We are very content that we are dominating the hottest boxing market. ”

Loeffler will interrupt the rotation of Chumash-Commerce on March 16 to take his talented junior medium scales Callum Walsh, 12-0 (10 KO) from Ireland to complain about the card at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York against the British dean of Sutherland, 19-1 ( 7 KO).

“These are a kind of fights that Callum needs to continue its development,” said Loeffler. “There is no point in putting his album. It will be one of the most prepared fighters in history when it’s time to fight for the title. “

Walsh is evaluated No. 6 by IBF and WBC.

“He is at the point where I saw him fight for the title during the year,” said Loeffler. “Callum is one of the most -talked fighters … and puts great performances and I expect that he will put up another great program for Saint Patrick’s weekend.”

The Junior Medium Serhia Bohachuk Junior cooperated by Loeffler will check the Saturday duel between his latest opponent, Vergil Ortiz Jnr and the former owner of the WBA Israil Madrymovi title as a great fight for No. 1 of a pretender to WBC with Ukraine.

“Serhii is ready to fight anyone – he was supposed to fight [unified champion Sebastian] Fund [before Keith Thurman got hurt in March]and Madrimov [in December]Also before he got unwell or hurt … so he was unlucky to pulling his opponents, “said Loeffler.

“But he is one of the most energetic of everyone in the division, so he will either go after huge fights in June or July. … either this or we will put him in one of our programs to stay energetic and protect him [top-ranked] Position in WBC. “

Finally, Loeffler said that his feathers Omar Trinidad, 18-0-1 (13 KO), would return to the Casino card of May 17, because he is currently standing No. 2 in IBF and No. 4 in WBC.

Shawn Porter Expects a Dazzling Comeback from Canelo Against Explosive Prospect Mbilli

"Shawn Porter Expects a Dazzling Comeback from Canelo Against Explosive Prospect Mbilli"

Canelo Alvarez is hoping to regain one of his former super-middleweight titles at the first time of asking when he makes his comeback this October against WBC champion Christian Mbilli. Two-time welterweight ruler Shawn Porter has revealed his prediction for the fight.

Alvarez lost all four of his belts at 168lbs to Terence Crawford last September and has since been sidelined due to an elbow injuryas Crawford’s retirement saw the coronation of four new world champions.

One of those beneficiaries was Mbilli, who had been in possession of the WBC Interim crown when ‘Bud’ decided to hang up the glovesallowing him to be elevated to full champion and then lined up for a showdown with Canelo.

Canelo’s remaining quality at the age of 36 is an ongoing debate amongst fans and analysts, leading many to predict an intriguing and potentially even fight. Yet, speaking on The PorterWay Podcast‘Showtime’ said that Alvarez will look like an ‘A++ fighter’ come fight night.

“Canelo truly does have that fast twitch; he is explosive, but he is explosive with speed and quickness and that fast twitch is going to get Canelo to that mark a little bit quicker.

“Yeah, I think [he can still do it] at 36. If you think about it, even though Canelo is not that ‘A++’ fighter that he used to be, he is still a solid ‘A’ and that solid ‘A’ will beat a solid ‘B’ [in Mbilli].

“That solid ‘B’ will make a solid ‘A’ look like an ‘A++’, so I think that he is going to look ‘A++’.”

Canelo-Mbilli takes place on Saturday, October 31, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The super-middleweight duo will top a ‘Mexico vs. The World’ themed bill, which could feature a bantamweight title unification between WBA champion and pound-for-pound sensation Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez and WBO titleholder Christian Medina.

Undefeated KO Artist Moves Closer to Canelo Fight After Latest Stoppage: Its Going to Happen

"Undefeated KO Artist Moves Closer to Canelo Fight After Latest Stoppage: 'It’s Going to Happen'"

Canelo Alvarez could be ordered to enter an immediate title defence if he emerges victorious against Christian Mbilli on October 31.

The Mexican has not fought since September 2025, when he was relieved of his undisputed super-middleweight crown after losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford.

On that same card, Mbilli retained his WBC ‘interim’ strap following a 10-round draw against Lester Martinezmaintaining his position as one of the top contenders at 168lbs.

The Frenchman was then upgraded to full world champion in December, with Crawford having relinquished his four major titles and announced his retirement as a three-division undisputed king.

Canelo will therefore have the opportunity to reclaim one of his old belts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Mbilli making a first defence of his WBC title.

The winner of their showdown may then be ordered to face Martinez, as the unbeaten mandatory challenger comes off two successful defences of his WBC ‘interim’ strap.

Most recently, the 30-year-old scored a 10th-round stoppage of Luka Plantic last weekend, which followed his unanimous decision victory over Immanuwel Aleem in March.

Speaking at the post-fight presser following his win against Plantic, Martinez said through a translator that he expects to eventually face both Canelo and Mbilli.

“No, look, at the end of the day, I’ve said it before: the second fight [with Mbilli] will happen, possibly next year or the year after. But either one of those fights makes sense for us.

“We know the eyes of the world are going to be on [Mbilli-Canelo]and because we’re going to be there, we’re going to take advantage of all of that. But both fights are going to happen.”

Having already created the “blueprint” to defeat Canelo, Crawford trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre said afterwards that he is supremely confident in guiding Martinez to victory against either Alvarez or Mbilli.

Ryan Garcia Reacts as Terence Crawford Supports Conor Benn Against Him

"Ryan Garcia Reacts as Terence Crawford Supports Conor Benn Against Him"

Ryan Garcia has labelled Terence Crawford a “hater” after being told that the all-time great is favouring Conor Benn to pull off a sizable upset.

The 28-year-old will make a first defence of his WBC title against Benn on September 12, headlining an event at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

To his credit, it was arguably a career-best performance that saw Garcia dethrone Mario Barriosdominating their February encounter with a unanimous decision victory.

At the very least, it was a vastly improved display than the one he produced against Rolando Romero, who convincingly outpointed ‘King Ry’ in May 2025.

This result followed his year-long doping ban, however, which can perhaps partly explain why Garcia underperformed so spectacularly against his low-volume opponent.

As for his upcoming clash with Benn, most would argue that the American is superior from both a skill and experience perspective, while ‘The Destroyer’ possibly boasts an edge when it comes to heart and durability.

These qualities were evident during his first encounter with Chris Eubank Jr, which he lost by unanimous decision in 2025 before winning their rematch later that year.

It is perhaps based on those two performances, then, that Crawford has decided to back heavy underdog Bennwho has not fought at 147lbs since 2022 and notoriously tested positive for banned substance clomifene that same year.

Speaking with FightHypethough, Garcia could not accept that ‘Bud’ is being fully genuine with his prediction.

“[Crawford] is really a hater – he needs to get out of retirement already. I think I can beat Crawford – I don’t give a f**k about no Conor Benn.”

Crawford called time on his illustrious career in December, just a few months removed from dethroning Canelo Alvarez and becoming a three-division undisputed champion.
