British promoter Eddie Hearn says he wants to ink Jermall and Jermell Charlo to his Matchroom Boxing stable, and he says he’ll pay them a lot more than they’re getting right now. Hearn says the Charlo brothers currently don’t have a promoter, so he wants to sign them both.
Hearn currently has one American in his Matchroom stable in former IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (33-2, 29 KOs), who is fighting this Saturday night on April 28 against Maciej Sulecki (26-0, 10 KOs) in a WBA 160 lb. title eliminator on HBO World Championship Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Daniel Jacobs (34-2, 29 KOs) had to battle harder than expected to defeat previously unbeaten junior middleweight Maciej Sulecki (26-1, 10 KOs) in a WBA middleweight title eliminator match on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The management for WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has made a big $50 million counter offer to IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing for a unification fight, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.
The $50 million is part of a 50% split of the revenue, which Team Wilder believe will be at least $100 million. If the Joshua-Wilder fight makes more than $100 million, then Joshua will make more than his $50 million.
Unbeaten heavyweight contender Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller (21-0-1, 18 KOs) outworked former heavyweight world title challenger Johann ‘Reptile’ Duhaupas (37-5, 24 KOs) in winning a fairly one-sided 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night on HBO Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Golden Boy Promotions boss Oscar De La Hoya has confirmed that Saul Canelo Alvarez will be fighting IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) in a rematch on September 15.
De La Hoya says Canelo will not only fight Golovkin, but he’s also going thrash him. De La Hoya thinks Canelo has been given a bum rap over his positive tests for clenbuterol, and he thinks a lot of boxing fans are going to dislike him because of that.
Saul Canelo Alvarez has tested negative for the performance enhancing substance clenbuterol in a hair follicle test that was ordered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission as part of their investigation of the Mexican star for his two positive tests on February 17 and February 20.
The World Boxing Council are saying WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia (38-0, 30 KOs) will face IBF champion Robert Easter Jr. (21-0, 14 KOs) next in a unification fight. Mikey, 30, recently vacated his IBF light welterweight title and decided to move back down to 135 to defend his WBC title.
