The winner of Whyte/Chisora 2 was always getting the April fight with AJ. Same promoter keeps the money in house and boxing is a business after all.
Careful though Eddie. You better get either Fury or Wilder after that as even the most loyal AJ fan wants unification fights rather than repeats.
Boxing is a SPORT FIRST, and BUSINESS SECOND, Eddie Hearn though does seem more interested in Money than having intriguing fights so he is an oddity, the legacy and which fighters were better will last long after the money is gone, Wilder will beat Joshua inside of 4 rounds if they fight, there was a decisive winner when Joshua beat Whyte (Yes I know Whyte beat Joshua in the Amateurs) rather see Whyte against T. Fury or even H. Fury or Ortiz or Povetkin rather than a rematch.
Seems VERY SAFE, RULES ARE BOXING ONLY 3 Rounds, he is fighting a Much smaller man who is not a boxer in a boxing match 3 rounds, if The Japanese fighter lands clean, so did Shane Moseley who landed totally clean and rocked Mayweather who did not go down and regrouped, this Japanese fighter (He is a combat athlete though not a boxer first) lands clean, Mayweather likely will be able to take it well do to the size difference.
This is a LOW RISK Sparring session, a lot of Pros spar with beginning boxers to work on defense, while the newcomers, go as hard as they can, the average non boxer can not land a clean punch on someone like Mayweather even if he stands seemingly in font of them by controlling distance making the non boxer miss by inches EVERY TIME.

According to ESPN, Canelo and his trainer are not interested in fighting GGG this September. Link is in Español...Sorry...not sorry.
LOL
What bum out of Canada will GGG fight next? GGG won't be fighting Saunders/Charlo/Andrade or re-matching Jacobs. Count on it.
Maybe GGG will fight Korobov That would be a good test. And Canelo VS Jermall Charlo, Charlo to pull the upset.
Yeah exactly, a lot of these American/Mexicans consider themselves Mexicans. When they visit Mexico they cry to come back to the states after a week missing their Mcdonalds and bottled water.
When I go there a couple times a year I enjoy the culture, riding my uncles horses and chilling at my grandparents second home. (They’re citizens now) but nothing in the world compares to California. I’ll always be American first. I’ll leave that Mexico stuff to my parents, as they were born there. Mexico is beautiful but nothing compared to US. America first everything else second.
Ruiz probably mentioned Mexico partly because Mexican Fans support their fighters MUCH BETTER than Americans do, Examples Terence Crawford GREAT Fighter not much of a fan base, Errol Spence did good on his last fights PPV buys, but probably due to him fighting an American of Mexican descent Mikey Garcia, If/when Spence fights Porter if it is on PPV it will do poorly, Andre Ward in Pound for Pound top 2-3 but not much of a fan base, Exceptions like Mayweather who because of his gimmick bragging about how rich he is, people paid hoping he would lose, In other eras American fighters did well, Ali, Ray Leonard, Tyson, Today Wilder is like Tyson in he knocks almost everyone out, most early, but he does not have a base.
There will NOT be an Olympics this year, MANY Countries are just starting to get their first few Corona Virus cases, Europe and USA are being hit hard, China is almost certainly a lot worse than they are saying (Chinese Government is not known for it's Honesty), Africa does not have many cases, but They will likely be hit harder than Europe, South America numbers are climbing rapidly.
If I were the Matchmaker for this card Robson Concieco The Gold Medalist Would be fighting Shakur Stevenson the Silver Medalist (They fought at different weights in the Olympics) They are about the same size, same experience. too bad the matchmaker did not put them against each other since they are both on the card anyways.
Here is the problem Hearn wants DAZN to succeed that means signing big money to canelo for and hoping he keeps winning and sign GGG with the promise of a big day with Canelo/GGG 3 in Sept. Canelo winning is in Hearn best interest but his fighter is Jacob lol He said the same things heading into the Rocky Fielding fight but had Rocky upset Canelo it would of been a massive hit to DAZN and Hearn despite Rocky being his fighter.
Hearn will be praying for Canelo to beat his own guy come May no matter what he says publicly to sell the fight.
ONLY if Hearn is the kind of Person who puts Money OVER LOYALTY to his fighter (Daniel Jacobs)
He is One of 3 130 pound champions in the WBA ALONE, Their should be ONLY ONE CHAMPION per WEIGHT and no more than 12 Weight Divisions, they had it about right when they had 8 Weight Divisions and one champion per weight, The Average Person probably could name all 8 Champions, Now my guess is MOST Boxing writers can not name every champion in every weight class, it certainly overwhelms casual fans and even The Most Hard Core Fans get confused.
Make the Champions and Weight Divisions KNOWN BY THE PUBLIC by having Very Few of Them AND Make the Title THEE Most Important thing in Boxing.
Crawford vs Besputin is the fight to make
Besputin is the Number 1 contender for Keith Thurman's title, so Besputin will ALMOST CERTAINLY fight for Thurman's title.
Besputin has SOME CHANCE to beat Thurman.
Besputin has NO CHANCE to beat Crawford.
It is a no brainer that Besputin's team will pick Thurman, if he wins his marketability increases, he has more power in negotiations for future fights.
Matt Korobov Has Challenged Andrade on NUMEROUS occasions, they talked trash to each other on Twitter, Korobov would be the best opponent Andrade has faced, So why hasn't Andrade agreed to fight Korobov?
Easy solution Benavidez go ahead and fight Korobov on July 28th, Dirrell gets the winner, by the time Benavidez/Korobov fights Dirrell, the legal fighting should be over, if not at least Benavidez gets in 1 maybe 2 fights, if Benavidez wins both he will be an active fighter while the Arum case is resolved.
Everybody is saying they want Luke Campbell to fight Teofimo Lopez for the Vacant, But isn't the rule they ask the top 2 ranked to fight for the vacant title? if either says no they go to #3, #4, #5 etc.?
So it looks like Luke Campbell VS Z. Abdullaev and if either says no (They won't because this is their best chance to win a title) then they ask Devin Haney, then if 2 of the 3 say no, then Lopez gets his chance.
Here are the rankings. https://www.boxingscene.com/rankings/
Here is a Wildcard
Dmitry Bivol
Bivol is the Current 175 Pound Champion who said he would go to 168 to fight Callum Smith (Because of money he would almost certainly go to 168 for Canelo as well), If Bivol Beats C. Smith then he would be the 168 and 175 pound Champion, So Canelo could win both the 168 AND 175 pound titles on the SAME NIGHT, as Sugar Ray Leonard did by beating Donny Lalonde for BOTH the 168 and 175 pound titles, with the CONTRACTED WEIGHT OF 168.
A wild card I know and Bivol would have to fight C. Smith by February in order for the winner to fight Canelo in May, so September would be FAR MORE REALISTIC for this scenario to occur.
Canelo said he would NEVER FIGHT at 175 as it is too big, but this would give him a shot at the 175 pound title in a fight where the wight limit is 168 (I doubt it happens, but just throwing it out there).
They used to have HUGE fights during the Weekdays, Example pretty Sure Leonard VS Hagler was on a Weekday, why do they alll have to be on Saturday Now, They could have one card on May 5th Which I believe is a Wednesday and the other fight could be on Saturday, fans will watch it on any day, and the Celebs would attend big fights whatever day it is.
50 Pounds is TOO MUCH of an advantage, Like Errol Spence fighting Usyck, both are great, but size (At Some point) matters, and 50 pounds is beyond that point.
White fighting De La Hoya, Would be like Leo Santa Cruz fighting Gvodzyk, or Canelo fighting Deontay Wilder just TOO MUCH SIZE.
from all places St. Paul, Minnesota. Not many champions come from there. Congrats to Brant. I think the odds were 7-1. Not many bookies had it
Caleb Truax also from Minnesota.
Caleb Truax who was recently a 168 pound champ, I think he beat (Like Brant did) an Olympic Gold Medalist for the title James Degale, then Degale won the rematch, so Minnesota has 2 top fighters at 160-168
Saunders is wack, and the WBO is the worst! How does Saunders get to fight for a title @ 168? Isufi is ranked #1 by the WBO @ 168, but Saunders is not even in the Top 15, and he was also not the WBO Champ @ 160 because Andrade has that title, so what's their excuse? The best thing the WBO can do is order Andrade to fight GGG, who is ranked #2 by the WBO @ 160!
One of the Organizations ordered GGG to fight Jermall Charlo, and GGG has shown ZERO interest so far, doubt he fights Andrade either after his trainer said they want big fights more than belts YESTERDAY, GGG said he would fight anyone from 154-168 then ducked Ward saying it has to be at 160, then Lara said he would fight GGG at 160, GGG ducked, then Charlo, look for him to add Andrade to the people he has ducked.
Seems like he almost always trains in a sauna suit.
Yes, that is a bad idea, will cause you to lose more water weight, which will be regained as soon as you drink, Sauna suits and plastics put person at risk of dehydration, you gain all the weight back as soon as you drink water.
It only makes sense if he's deciding to sit out. If he's gonna fight someone like Navarrete, then that's adding some hard miles on the odometer. Loma's next move will have to be very calculated. Can't wait to see how things play out.
Team Zepeda may decide to enforce their WBO mandatory.
True and Berinchyk on Instagram TODAY on the Stories part, Put up Berinchyk VS W. Zepeda.
Loma VS Berinchyk wont sell on PPV in USA, Berinchyk will fight W. Zepeda or Shakur NEXT with Keyshawn Davis and Muratella possible (For Berinchyk) but not as likely as W. Zepeda or Shakur, Berinchyk vs Loma makes no sense Money Wise Also Berinchyk at one time dated Loma's sister, so unlikely Berinchyk and Loma Fought 6 times as Amateurs (Loma won all of them) and they have sparred as Berinchyk said Millions of times
Weird how people from other ALWAYS want to go against the top Boxer right out of the gate, Masdival should fight someone who is good maybe like Gabe Rosado and see how that goes and then IF (HUGE IF) that goes well, then call out a Star. don't start at the top.
I think because of the Kavanaugh Supreme Court thing, a lot of women are going to accuse Celebrities, I doubt the accusations are true, Victor Ortiz is even MORE SQUEEKY CLEAN than Brett Kavanaugh is.
Arum taking the cheap shot against Garcia, who I am sure intended to win, but was just clearly overmatched, I thought Arum was better than that, DISAPPOINTING
Berinchyk is a showman who dresses in silly costumes for walk-ins, fights mediocre opposition, and does seem to be content just keep on doing that.
He called out Tank Davis and Teofimo Lopez and said he thinks Teofimo Lopez will lose and after he loses to the Gold Medalist he can try his luck with the silver medalist.
And we all know Tank and T. Lopez probably heard about that and are telling Leonard Ellerbe and Haymon (Tank) and Bob Arum (T. Lopez) to make a fight with D. Berinchyk after their next fight, so we will almost certainly see if Berinchyk is just a showman or if he can fight as well WHEN (Not if) he fights Tank and T. Lopez in 2021, A little known side note Berinchyk has sparred (And fought in the amateurs with Lomachenko) and Personally knows, Lomachenko, Usyk, Gvozdyk and even the Klitchko's, They attend his fights. I think D. Berinchyk will shock the World and beat Tank and T. Lopez in a Buster Douglas level upset.
