Promoter Eddie Hearn said he is disappointed that Keyshawn Davis goes to 140 because he will not fight against the light contestant Andy Cruz. Hearn hoped that Keyshawn will face the 2020 Cruz Olympic Gold Medal (5-0, 2 kos) due to the “story” of them that they had fought four times to the fans, with Andy Brisant up to a 4-0 record.
Keyshawn lost weight last Friday for his defense of his Light Wbo title against Edwin de los Santos. He then announced that he was already planning to be lightweight immediately after the fight. This means there is no chance of Father-Fill meeting Before both in Lightweight. Most people believe that Keyshawn will never again fight Cruz after losing it four times in fans and looking at the Olympic Gold Medal Final in 2020.
Cruz fights against Hironori Mishiro in a light -title IBF deletion this Saturday, June 14 at the Times at Times Square in New York City. The event will be broadcast on Dazn from 19:00 ET/16: 00 PM Pt. With a victory, Cruz will be mandatory for the light champion of IBF, Raymond Muratalla.
“My greatest disappointment when I heard that Keyshawn moved was that I would not go fight against Andy Cruz,” said Eddie Hearn Fe. “What happens to Andy is that no one wants to fight him. So what you have to do is make people fight against him.
“Build Cruz’s popularity
Since Cruz started as a professional due to his long amateur career in Cuba, Hearn has to put him Schedule from 4 to 6-litches a year If you want to increase your popularity fast enough so that the big names of the 135 want to fight against it. Although IBF’s light champion, Raymond Muratalla, is being avoided when Cruz Cruz defeats the highest fighters for the belt. Cruz must follow the first Gennady Golovkin struggle model to increase his popularity. He worked with GGG, and can also Cruz, as long as Hearn can get the dates of fighting for him.
“Now, Andy and Keyshawn are so much potential because of the story. The fans want to see this struggle and I thought we had a chance to make the fight,” said Hearn. “Luckily, it is (Cruz) in a final eliminator (against Hironori Mishiro) this weekend, which will see him mandatory in (Raymond) Muratalla to fight for the world title of IBF (light). We are in a fantastic place.”
With a victory over Mishiro, Cruz will be mandatory for the IBF Muratalla champion, but he will still have to wait for the struggle to be ordered by the sanctioning body. This could be 9 to 12 months. Therefore, you can wait for the promoters of Muratalla in the first position to drag it for the full twelve months to allow their fighter to put in two defenses of the easy title before Cruz’s struggle.
Muratalla’s possibilities to beat Cruz are almost zero because he is too unidimensional and does not have the skills to compete against Cuban talented. This will be one of Andy’s easiest struggles as a professional.
“But Andy jokes that the real reason that Keyshawn moves is because he did not want to fight Andy Cruz, because this weekend he stands in a position to fight all the great names at the age of 135. Thus, Andy Cruz is one of the best fighters in the world. It is a great fight against Mishiro this Saturday and we look forward to a great statement from him,” said Hearn.
Keyshawn has already shown for the past two years that he is not interested in fighting Cruz. He has ignored Andy’s challenges to deal with him and repeatedly assumed a minor opposition. His latest selection of intact #14 Wbo Edwin de los Santos, who has not fought in two years, showed what he is.
Keyshawn does not want to fight against Cruz because he has lost too many times in the fans, passing 0-4. Davis says he is “the entrepreneur” now, which translates to choosing and choosing the opposition that is 100% sure that he can fight.
