Comments Thread For: Hearn: Jacobs To Fight Canelo in May If He Beats Derevyanchenko

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK The vacant IBF middleweight title won't be the only thing at stake for Daniel Jacobs a week from Saturday night. If Jacobs can defeat Sergiy Derevyanchenko in what should be a difficult 12-round, 160-pound title fight, promoter Eddie Hearn thinks there's a "very, very, very good chance" Jacobs will earn a shot to challenge Canelo Alvarez on May 4. That'd also require the heavily favored Alvarez to defeat England's Rocky Fielding who, like Jacobs, is promoted by Hearn on December 15 at Madison Square Garden and return to the middleweight division for his following fight.

Jacobs has his hands full... Derevyanchenko with a win automatically attains "Boogyman" status as per boxing website rules. Should be a fun fight to watch. Obviously it's an easy make aswell. #DAZN

I’m completely for this.

[Diego Rodriguez]

That would be a good and interesting fight. Jacobs is a big MW.

I'd prefer Charlo, but this ain't bad.

I'm starting to like this Hearn character a little more and more every day lol

[Hatesrats]

Makes sense why Golden Boy/Team Canelo picked Fielding, Dude is a tall bigger fighter that will prepare them for a Jacobs (size wise).

[AdonisCreed]

Hearn is making sh** happen!!

This why Canelo is trying to call out old retired welterweights now lol he knows it's tough fight after tough fight against giants hope the money is worth all the punishment and wear and tear he will be enduring
