    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.

            WBC Gives Eastman 8 Days To Figure It Out!
            By G. Leon

            December 03, 2004 - The sequence of events outlined in this morning's exclusive report have already began to unwind much sooner than even we expected. Just minutes ago, **********.com was informed by WBC President Jose Sulaiman that top rated middleweight contender Howard Eastman will have until December 11 to clarifiy the evident confusion surrounding his promotional status. In the event that Eastman's promotional status is not clarified by December 11, undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins will move down the list of available contenders.
