Confusion May Lead To Hopkins-Ikeke!

December 03, 2004 - Howard Eastman, the WBC's mandatory challenger to Bernard Hopkins's middleweight crown is a wanted man these days. So wanted, it appears that nobody in boxing knows who really has the rights to promote him. Several sources have informed **********.com that Bob Arum''s Top Rank Inc, who originally negotiated Hopkins-Eastman with HBO, is still claimig to have promtional rights on Eastman. We have also been informed that Arum's rights on Eastman may have been contingent on delivering the Hopkins fight, now an impossibility ever since the pound for pound king decided to sign where the grass is golden. Mick Hennesy of Hennesy Sports in Europe has been saying he's promoting Eastman ever since Team Eastman was ordered to negotiate with Jermain Taylor and just a couple of days ago, sources contacted us stating Don King Productions is also claiming to "have" Eastman.
