Bob Arum says Mikey Garcia has hurt his marketability with his loss to Errol Spence, and he’s now the B-side for a potential unification fight with Vasiliy Lomachenko. Further, the Top Rank CEO Arum states that Mikey will need to come down to 135 for him to get the fight with WBA/WBO lightweight champion Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs). That is to say, there won’t be a catch-weight for the fight, and it won’t take place at 140.

Trainer Andre Rozier says his fighter IBF middleweight champion Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) (35-2, 29 KOs) will be taking the fight to WBA/WBC champion Saul Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) to beat him with aggression, speed and size on May 4.

The purse bid for WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev’s title defense against mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde has been moved from next Monday, April 8 to April 15. The purse bid being moved was done at the request of Kovalev’s promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events.

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder says he’ll eventually give #1 WBC contender Dillian Whyte a title shot if he keeps winning long enough. Whyte (25-1, 18 KOs) and his promoter Eddie Hearn have already asked the World Boxing Council to order the winner of Wilder’s next title defense against Dominic Breazeale to face Whyte in their next fight in a mandatory defense.

Danny Jacobs is going to have be very watchful of the punching power Saul Canelo Alvarez will be bringing to the ring in their fight on May 4 on DAZN. In video of Canelo working out on Wednesday, he looked devastatingly powerful, and he appears to be training for a knockout.

Deontay Wilder would be open to a fight against former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, as long as the Ukrainian takes a tune-up or two and looks good, according to Wilder’s trainer/manager Jay Deas. If the 42-year-old Wladimir decides he wants to make a comeback and fight WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs), they would be willing to give him a title shot if he takes a tune-up.
