Andy Cruz complained today to champions doing “excuses to avoid” fighting. In a cryptic publication on Instagram, IBF IBF’s mandatory answering machine seemed that negotiations with the IBF champion, Raymond Muratalla, did not go well.
Cruz and Muratalla presented themselves to the talks to fight on the November 22 card in Riyad. This event has been announced today, but Muratalalla-Cruz’s struggle was not mentioned in Turki Alralikh’s publication, which revealed the news.
It would not be a shock if Muratalla (23-0, 17 kos) decided to voluntarily defense his IBF title to milk him once or twice before he was ordered to defend himself from Cruz. His possibilities of defeating the talented Olympic gold medalist of 2020, Cruz, would be scarce.
Andy may have to forget about Muratalla for the moment and go in a different direction. Cruz is the first place with the WBC of the belt that Shakur Stevenson has. I should put a little heat to fight.
His mutual promoter, Eddie Hearn, will probably not go along with the idea because he signed Stevenson to disembark that Geronta Davis’s struggle. This is a struggle that would lead to millions. The last thing I would like to want is that Andy Cruz beat Shakur, exposing and ruining his chances of fighting Davis.
“The day I become a world champion, I will defend my title against whoever, because it is what the champions are to defend them, it does not matter who he is,” Andy Cruz said on Instagram.
“These so-called champions seeking excuses to avoid facing anyone and prefer to look for alternatives. Boxing is for fighters, not names. Contracts sent to me, I will sign because I came to this country to fight anyone,” said Cruz.
Many people see the Cuban Cube as Lightweight’s number 1 fighter, and one that is already avoided as the plague.
None of the so -called main names wants any part of the fight against Cruz. Muratalla would be above the head against a skilled fighter like Andy. It’s too good for your own good. Even Shakur Stevenson, who claims he is the best at the age of 135, has no interest in fighting Andy Cruz. It is understandable why.
